8 Best Bar & Grill near Dana Point

“Very lively evening, and likely due to that, the service was a little slow. Had a few cocktails all around $15 a piece and some appetizers. Everything was good, but the oysters were tiny, as were the mussels. I should have taken a photo of the oysters....Also, more bread is needed. Had to order more as two pieces was not enough for the tasty broth. The ahi tacos were bountiful and filling.“

“Great happy hour values! $5.00 bubbles! The green chill fries @ $8.00 were amazing. The pork was very flavorful and delicious. Only con was it was very noisy. We were sat on the patio next to the street. Lots of revving engines. Our server Kelsey was great! We'll be back!“

“This is a nice setting at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club. The service was good. There was flexibility with our orders as the side dishes with what we wanted were not of our taste. They made adjustments which were very good. The drinks were good. i enjoyed the Old Fashioned on the menu. The ribs were good. The mahi my wife enjoyed.“

“I love the brick oven pizzas and pastas here! They are so yummy. The best part was that the staff was very welcoming and kind. I like the ambiance and positive atmosphere. I like to drop by here after staying long hours on the beach. It’s such a great way to feed the appetite and exhaustion. I strongly recommend this place.“

“I just happened to walk into this place cuz I was staying down the street. The first person I met was a young lady named Stacy and from there on it was just a great time. Went back twice more two more days just because of her and how inviting she was how good the drinks were, how friendly everybody was. It was a really good time nothing bad to say about this place. Tyler I think this was his name you can't he's the only redheaded guy in the bar but he's a GM great talking to you great dude. PS food was really good.“

“Hello – I am a very good friend of Kevin Craig’s. He used to frequent knuckleheads and had lots of good times there. Is it is with the heavy heart to let the management staff and patrons know that Kevin Craig is no longer with us. God bless you, Kevin, God bless your soul. You are so kind and such a good person to everyone. XOXO Ann Murray.“

“We come here on Fridays to enjoy the music, and so, our decision is based on what kind of music the live band is playing. if the band is playing danceable music, then we are on.There's a good variety of choice on food and beverage. The atmosphere is very festive, especially with people dancing and having fun.Also, we play golf at the golf course so we would drop by the bar after a game to have a drink. It's always nice to have a place to relax after a game. Glad that we have this wonderful place to go to for golf, food and dance music!“

“This little bar & grill has excellent food! I got the Cali-Amex bowl ($17) which was chicken, shredded cabbage, tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeños & avocado with a Chipotle aioli sauce & cilantro lime dressing...and it was fantastic and so flavorful! And it was plenty of food. Girlfriend got the shorecliffs fish tacos ($15) with one magi & one shrimp taco which had shredded cabbage & dressing on corn tortillas and those were great too - she loved them. We always love to find the unsung little hole-in-the-wall places that have awesome food and Shorecliffs Bar & Grill is just that! Don't miss this great find if you are in the area!!“
