Silva's Sports Bar & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (807) • $$

"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."

Danny K's Billiards & Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (758) • $$

"There are a lot of pool halls in socal and Danny k is one of the nicest. Also they're the local hq for the apa, American poolplayers association. If you really want to get better, join the apa and they'll put you on a team. Most of the time places will give you discounts on table time if you are a member of the apa.Food wise, expect bar food but better quality than other pool halls."

Gibroni’s Pizza

★★★★★ 4.5 (537) • $$

"Another trip to Gibroni's, and I'm even more convinced--this is hands-down the best pizza spot in San Clemente. The 313 Pizza with pepperoni was everything you want in a Detroit-style pie: crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The Fun Guys Pizza was a sleeper hit--the mushrooms were rich and savory, perfectly balanced with that caramelized crust.The garlic parmesan dry-rub wings? Insanely good. Super crispy, full of flavor, and honestly, I could've ordered another round.On top of all that, the service was great, and the food came out fast--even with a full house. Gibroni's has officially replaced Pizza Port as my go-to. If you haven't been yet, you're seriously missing out."

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 !"

Louie’s On Main

★★★★☆ 4.3 (467) • $$

"Perfect spot to grab some food some beer and just have a good time.We were looking for a spot to grab some food and have some drinks before a concert so we decided to check this place out and I'm glad we did. Now we parked a few blocks down closer to the venue of the concert but it looks like there is plenty of parking out front or even parking a few blocks down like we did is not bad at all.When we walked in there were some empty tables so we just grabbed one and waited for the server. There was a QR codes on the tables for the menu or you could wait to get one from the server. Although it was getting pretty busy a server came to us in less than 5 minutes which was not too bad of a wait as it looked like she was the only one taking care of our section.I tried a few beers on tap. I had the compadre Mexican Lager and the Bikini Blonde. They had about 30 beers on tap so there will be something for everyone. For food I ended up getting the steak sandwich. It's listed as market price but they have a chalk board that has the price of the day so you don't need to feel shy about asking or anything. This day it was $23. I'm pretty simple guy so I asked what comes on the sandwich and they said nothing just the meat and bun. Shocking as usually it has lettuce or tomatoes at least but figure it must be good And it sure was. It was super delicious and didn't need anything else. They asked how I wanted it cooked and I said medium, and it was cooked to perfection. The meat was not hard at all and was so easy to eat. This isn't some cheap meat that you may be getting at your local burger spot or something. It was honestly one of the best steak sandwiches I've ever had. Even for the price I've had some that were a little bit more and were not as good. I would come back just for this. My wife had the B.L.A.T. I'm not a fan of avocado so I'm not going to review this but my wife said it was really good and she finished all her sandwich so she sure loved it. She also got the Garlic fries and they were so good!The serve came a few times basically to get refills on our drinks and that's all we could ask for. It's a busy spot so don't expect them to come every 5 minutes but I had no issues with the service at all.If you are In the area I would highly recommend you come to check this place out. Even if you are not close I would still recommend you come check this place out. We are not super close to here and we are already planning out our next trip. For me this is a must try place."

Out Of The Park Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (624) • $$

"We came to Out of the Park Pizza for an end of the season soccer party with a bunch of kids and adults. Our Team Mom made a reservation for a number of tables and we were able to order the kids pizza plus give them game cards.All in all this was a very good place to have a party. Usually these kind of things are handled at Chuck E. Cheese, but I was happy for a change of scenery. Out of the Park Pizza had much more food and drink options. And it was a more relaxed atmosphere.A few things to keep in mind for our next time here:***The games are expensive so the little cards go fast. It might be helpful to bring other stuff to keep the kids entertained or get ready to shell out more money:)***If you have tables reserved, keep your eyes on them. I saw two families come and remove the signs that held our tables, move them to a back table and then take our tables for themselves. This made it so we didn't have enough room for our team to sit and it didn't seem like the staff did anything about it when we complained as we didn't get the two tables back.***The game room is located at one end of the pizza place. Next time, we'll try to reserve tables close to that so we won't have to run back and forth to check on the kids."

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!"

The place is not as decorated as other Island restaurants, but it's still nice"

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."

Clubhouse Grille & Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (138) • $$

"The atmosphere here is like a typical local or dive bar. The employees are friendly, nice and knowledgeable. The food here is out of control amazing. If your looking to play pool, darts or have great conversations with great people, i highly recommend coming to this place. A hidden gem for sure. I have tried several food items off of the menu, everything so far is a 10+. The chicken nachos or the prime rib dip with au jus are my favorites. Come here for taco tuesday for taco specials!!! Everything pairs well with a putcher of beer. I have a feeling this will be one of my favorite spots to grab a bite and beer for years to come."

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."
