"I love this sports bar by my house. The bartenders are very friendly and make you feel very welcomed. The tacos here are super yummy and the drinks are delicious! They also have great happy hour. Definitely a chill place to hang out at."

Muldoon's Irish Pub

★★★★☆ 4.1 (865) • $$

"Do you long for old world charm and excellent food? Muldoons Irish Pub is the place. It is located near FashionIsland. Parking is in the back of the pub. The interior is stepping into Europe. You can just imaginerolling hills of green grass, misty shores of white sand, and gentle sheep grazing nearby. There is fireplace and smallbooths, like the interior of a ship. They deliver to you some soda bread and butter as you sitdown. It is kind of like food heaven. The menu is Irish for sure. Corned beef and hash, Rueben sandwiches and steaksand chicken are all there. The service is excellent. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. Sharing is the way to go. Be sure to get the Banger Bites as an appetizer. It comes witha warm mustard sauce. I love this place."

The Point

★★★★☆ 4 (654) • $$

"I was surprised to find Filipino cuisine on the menu. They even serve lumpia! As a Filipino, this makes me really happy. I also ordered tapsilog, but it was more of an American version rather than the traditional Filipino tapsilog. The service and ambiance were just okay."

Cruisers Pizza Bar Grill - Newport Beach

★★★★☆ 3.8 (717) • $$

"A Stellar Experience with Ron Behind the Bar!I had the pleasure of sitting at the bar and being served by Ron, and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered an Appletini, and not only did Ron craft it perfectly--balanced, crisp, and with just the right amount of sweetness--but he also took the time to educate me on the drink's history and the subtle art of making a great cocktail.Ron's knowledge and passion for his craft really shone through as he explained the origins of the Appletini and how he puts his own twist on it. It was clear that he takes pride in every drink he makes, and his attention to detail elevated my entire visit.On top of his impressive bartending skills, Ron is incredibly personable, making sure every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. If you're ever at the bar, do yourself a favor and ask for Ron--you won't just get a drink, you'll get an experience!"

OC Local Taproom

★★★★★ 4.6 (430) • $$

"Stopped by at this awesome place after an intense session of pickleball. Perfect spot for an evening beer with some delicious Mexican food. Service was on the mark, and I loved the interiors and vibe with several TVs and sports channels tuned in. I got the Taco flight and a friend got the Tostada salad. Both were very good. Loved the spicy salsa that we had to order on the side. A cool spot !"

Pepz Pizza & Eatery

★★★★☆ 4 (377) • $$

"Great spot for a casual pizza or pasta night to watch a game! Pepz Pizza is a no frills spot serving solid food with plenty of parking and seating! It was a very popular spot on a Saturday night with many parties dining in and a constant flow of people picking up orders to go. They have plenty of large TVs inside if you're trying to watch a game as well, there's no bad spot to sit. The service was prompt in bussing our tables and the workers were friendly. Order at the counter and take the number for dine-in, they bring the food to you. Drinks are self serve-- they have Pepsi here, not Coca Cola (unfortunately). The menu is expansive with tons of options, from personal size pizzas to larger shareable portions and the pasta dishes come with 2 slices of garlic bread. My only qualm is I wish there was more of a garlic flavor! Great experience, highly recommend!"

Eat At Joe's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (357) • $$

"I usually seek places like this out when traveling for work, but with my son at a weekly Boy Scouts meeting down the street, I needed a spot to kill a couple of hours. Needed sports on TV, a few beers and some greasy bar food. This place checked all the boxes and then some. Not only did they have my favorite seltzer (Brewery X Huckleberry) but found they had a Juicy Lucy burger. First time I've seen that outside of Minnesota! Rudy the bartender was awesome to chat with and the "off-duty" Kylie who I sat next to at the bar was super friendly too. Looks like I've found my go-to on Monday nights when the son is at Boy Scouts. 5/5 would recommend!"

"My wife and I always come here to eat when we are in town for soccer tournaments.This is my favorite sit-down burger place.We ordered the Maui and Hawaiian burgers, last time was the Maui and the Hula BurgersI always have to have one or two of the Hawaiian Longboard beer.The food and service is always great here when we come to eat. The place is not as decorated as other Island restaurants, but it's still nice"

"Amazing food! Pizza is by far the best around in all of OC. Andy was beyond a great host always checking in on us . Ambience was great and very family oriented feel. Although this was my wife and I first time here we'll be making the 35 minute commute to come have dinner here time and time again !"

"So I pass this place all the time and decided to check this place out for Happy Hour with my friend. It's a Friday and was expecting to be packed and to my surprise there was only a patrons outside patio area. I had the chili Relleno HH special $6 it's a la cart but it was delicious and good portion, HH beer $5.50. Ou waitress was great and all and all a pleasant experience."

Applebee's Grill + Bar

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (589) • $$

"This lunch was a 5 star for me. We had 2 salads and a holiday blended drink. We sat down right away in the bar area. We were greeted and helped almost immediately. The server was very nice and kept checking up on us. It wasn't busy, few tables full. It had a good vibe and I think he was the manager walking around and making sure everyone was doing good or need anything. That was nice. If in the area, I would come back."

Jimmy E’s Bar + Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (268) • $$

"Jimmy E's is in Signal Hill off Cherry nestled between Lakewood and LB. It's very close to the 405 off and on ramps. The staff is friendly and there was plenty of open seating at the bar and on the floor. They also have a front patio near the parking lot. Elizabeth was my waitress and was super sweet and attentive. I ordered the Swordfish Sandwich with fries and a Jimmy E's IPA, which is brewed in Anaheim. The fish and beer were both delicious. The only thing I don't like is they have 3% charge for card transactions, so I paid cash."

Buffalo Wild Wings

★★☆☆☆ 2 (654) • $$

"My group & I came in around 10:20pm on a Friday and opted to sit in the bar area. Our server was very nice but I think she was just very busy tending to 1/2 the tables in the restaurant. We attempted to order online with the QR code provided on the table but it was giving some people an error message so some ordered in person. I got the 10 piece boneless wings with 1/2 honey sriracha (limited time) and the other 1/2 spicy garlic. We also got a 10 piece bone in with all spicy garlic and fries and 1 sampler with onion rings, nachos, mozzarella sticks, and spicy garlic wings. Safe to say spicy garlic is a crowd favorite for us! I wish the honey sriracha sauce was a bit spicier but it was still good.Parking is always easy to find in this shopping center and the restaurant was very clean."

Sauced BBQ & Spirits

★★★★☆ 4 (159) • $$

"****3.5 Stars****I was so excited when this first popped up to replace Famous Dave's. Alas, our experience wasn't anything amazing. Inside: The space is more or less exactly the same before. Very spacious with patio seating, and bar seating as well. Very open. Great for big groups. Food: They had a "limited time" menu for different mac and cheeses so we tried their Cajun Shrimp Mac & Cheese which had bacon bits and green onion toppings. Nothing Cajun about this. No flavor. Super creamy but lacking seasoning. The shrimp were measly and the serving size was for 2-3 people but overall small portion for the price. Would not get again. 1/2 Smoked chicken with 2 sides: The chicken was a great portion, moist and cooked perfectly. But Really Under seasoned. They have 4 signature BBQ sauces for dipping. So that helped. The sides: the green bean casserole was terrible. No flavor. Mushy. Just bland cup of greens. The sweet corn was the star. So flavorful and a slight kick of heat. We also tried their jalepeno slaw since their green bean was so disappointing. It was a better side, but again nothing spectacular. Kid's meal: Many options to choose from including a variety of sides. My daughter had the cheeseburger with the sweet potato tots. The cheeseburger was whatever and the tots were terrible. Cold and not crispy at all. Customer service: The hostess and waiter were nice and attended to us periodically. Overall would be happy to come back and try other items as their menu is extensive. But not sure this will be our go to for BBQ."

The Shamrock Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (125) • $$

"This is a great pub downtown. Inside is your typical pub, no frills just good drinks and live music playing on a Saturday night. Even with a packed bar the multiple bartenders don't have you waiting but more than a couple minutes for your drink order. I really enjoy this pub and they know how to pour a proper Guinness. I definitely will come back when I'm in town."

"Shepard's Pie is top shelf, for sure! I'd say the best in the area (20 years in area). I topped it off with some jalapeño poppers, which were fresh and amazing.Perfect Pub feelDon't miss out on this culinary gem"

Marni's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (94) • $$

"Looking for a quick lunch spot during our break from tournaments we found Marni's, to be a refuge for some comfort food. Nice space for larger groups, table, booth or bar seating available. We were welcomed and walked right to a lopsided open table. Our selections of sliders, salads and cheese curds made for a crowd pleaser. Though the water refills needed to keep up with our thirst, the pitcher was then left for our table. It may be worth it to invest in some new water pitchers. This clear pitcher had discoloration. Maybe from iced tea? Our thirst continued. Customers not drinking water did have more frequented visits of service with the same amount of people in their party. For us it was a little lacking at our table of five. Still gave it a four as the food made up for it. I would visit again, hoping for a better experience next time around. Lots of free parking available for diners with surrounding shops and eateries. Within walking distance to take a stroll and discover new finds."

Buffalo Wild Wings

★★★☆☆ 2.8 • $$

"Came for all you can eat boneless on a Wednesday @6pm. We sat in the high tops ands our server was great. The food also came out at a reasonable time and it was well-slathered in sauce/dry rub. I appreciate that the fries and veggies are also AYCE. This deal and service really redeemed itself from a different location where I decided I'd never return. Parking is a pain though... the spots are really tight if you park in the lot right in front. If you want more comfort, you'll have to park further away."
