32 Best Sports Bars near Laguna Beach

“Very comfortable, casual, fun place! Had the pretzel- it was delicious. Our bartender, Maddie, was super nice, informative, and attentive, even coming around a few times to clear empties. I don't drink currently, but their NA Bravus was a great option. Recommend for chill vibes!“

“OC Local is a big, clean, beautiful place to have fun and relax. Families, couples, singles, groups, and dogs are all welcome here. They have something for everyone!Troy and Patrick run the place, and they are wonderful people. Even when they're busy, they take the time to greet everyone personally.Good food and great drinks. The tacos and nachos are my go-to choices for food. They have so many beers on tap that is hard to pick a favorite.“

“I'm absolutely in love with this place! The layout is so unique - when you walk through the "front door," you're still outside; stairs take you down to an outdoor patio with a beautiful large tree in the center. There is a bar out there, though it's been closed whenever I've been, probably because I've never gone during the summer. Once you've reached the patio, to the right is the real front door Lol. Step inside & you'll see a casual typical pub to the right, down a couple more stairs, windows will be open to the patio with favorable weather. To the left of the main entrance is a cozy, mahogany, more formal dining area complete with a fireplace. This layout alone is enough to enjoy a drink or dessert, but the food I've had was delicious, too. I love the "Black Bush Stew," which is a delicious beef stew (generous chuncks) with a dollop of mashed potatoes, 2 lamb chops & a shot of Black Bush whiskey! It's no longer on the menu, but I last went in February & our server was amazing - friendly, funny, & accommodating - & had it made for me anyway! I haven't been on a night with live music, but that would be icing on the cake. Love this place!“

“Great place to stop in for a beer and quick bite. Can get crowded during big sports or St. Patty Day. Staff is experienced and friendly. Every food order I've had had been solid pub fare. Exactly as expected. I come often and will continue to do so.“

“We actually ended up in Newport Beach last minute. We were visiting Los Angeles and we had not been to the ocean yet we actually were about to leave and drive to Las Vegas. Newport Beach itself is absolutely incredible and I wish we spent more time here I would have loved to stay overnight. While we were here we needed to eat so we obviously came to cabo cantina that is located right by the ocean. The place is awesome it reminds me of a Mexican bar. They had all you can eat tacos as it was Tuesday and the deal is just incredible I ate so many tacos I was so full when we left. The food was incredible we had a couple nice drinks the staff was so friendly the atmosphere is really party friendly.“

“Stopped in for dinner as our hotel's steakhouse was booked and the reviews were good. Food was great! We had nachos for an appetizer and then we each had a cheesesteak. Waiter was great, but he was slow to come back so my husband got to-go boxes from the bar as well as paid there. We saw a family with kids there. Towards the end of our meal someone was setting up some equipment-not sure if he was going to be a DJ or if there was going to be a band. Fun atmosphere.“

“Kaycee is amazing! So friendly and happy to serve her customers. She literally listens (I'm high maintenance) and delivers what you ask for with a smile on her face. Patio is great in warm weather and dog friendly! I highly recommend, but be sure to ask for Kaycee to take care of you. Happy hour has great deals.“

“A true Irish pub in downtown Newport Beach, right along PCH.... The bartender Jo, is straight outta Ireland (Northen Ireland I tinks... ;) She pours the perfect pint of Guinness and keeps the pub running smoothly.... Good vibes, chill atmosphere to have some pints and watch sports (if that's your thang') Great prices, especially for being in Newport... Parking is easy along PCH, or there's parking in the back also... Always a mandatory stop on our coastal pub crawls... Slainte mo'fos...Drink up.... Slan...“

“I've frequented Classic Q numerous times, and it never fails to impress as a premier spot to catch the big games. However, what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. Our server, Bailey, embodies everything you'd want in a server: friendly, kind, and incredibly attentive. If you have the chance to visit, I highly recommend requesting to be seated in her section for a flawless experience.“

“We were looking for a place to end the night in the big plaza, and this was the one that popped out. They have a big stage and TVs outside for live music, DJ or just videos from the '80s. They have live music on weekends, and they pride themselves to bring nice local bands. The owners, Matt and Gina are really nice, and take the time to talk to customers. They still have to work on the menu, it's pretty simple, but is satisfying for now. Big bar, high tables, and lots of tables for families inside. Big patio for live music outside. Lots of locals having fun, enjoying talking to each other, which is probably the main reason to come here.“

“This review is directed towards Matt at the driving range. I usually go there Thursday evenings and he's extremely nice to everyone and remembers peoples names. You can tell he likes what he does and he makes the atmosphere a lot more welcoming and enjoyable“

“‼️‼️? I have been to over 500 or more driving ranges in my lifetime but I would recommend San Juan hills driving range over them all !! Mainly because of a man named Spencer who works at the driving range…..he actually toook the time to encourage my nephew to keep trying..as my nephew isn’t coordinated and the word clumsy could be a big understatement if ya catch my drift..anyways as an international salesmen myself…customer service is an art form…and there’s somthing special about this kid named Spencer..anywho he deserves a shout out, good day“

“All Star Pizza All star pizza is a local pizza place they have good pizza ($~20) and Pepsi Fountain drinks($~3). Motsarella sticks were good. The service was good, The restaurant was clean, Friendly service. The game room has ~6 arcade games (aka Mrs paceman, car racing, duck claw machine, candy claw machine (the last two are " always a prize") and more. Most of them are $0.50 to play. They have a dollar to coin machine on site. This pizza place has a lot of Televisions (13) I can see every sports game! They have an outdoor dining area. Overall I would consider coming back to this place.“

“I'm giving it a 5 for the staff. I briefly looked at it, thinking it was an independent rooftop bar, not realizing it was connected to the hotel.Our drinks were ok, prices were average. If you were staying at the hotel, this would be a great experience. If you were bar hoping or anything of that nature, I would go here if everything else was packed.Again, staff was incredibly nice and we stayed for them ?“

“Love this islands so much. Service was great, per usual and Bartender Melissa suggested the new volcano burger and it was so good! Cooked perfectly, and the fries were so yummy. Also met new manager Marissa and she was so friendly. GM Chad must be running a tight ship! Would definitely suggest coming in for lunch or dinner !(:“

“Didn't eat, kitchen was closed after 9 or so.. drinks are reasonably priced, but nice to know they have my favorites on tap.. garage brewing mango hef and space dust... cocktails were nicely poured and the atmosphere is that downhome dive bar feel that makes feel at ease.. will for sure visit again!!!“

“It's always a fun time with the women who work here! They are amazing and they are the only reason to visit!Not much parking at all, they have a small lot but there is street parking if you arrive after the surrounding business have closed. Before that, you can find street parking. You just may have to walk a wee bit.As for food, they offer frozen pizzas at the bar and some chips. On certain days, they have a guy who grills, but I'm not sure what he offers or how it tastes. There is also a taco woman who offers a variety of dishes. I have had the tacos before, and they were good. Once she brought it pozole, it was my 1st time trying it and this started my journey to find the best pozole around.“

“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!!“

“Sweet spot to grab a drink if your bike riding up the coast. Cool people strong drinks and great views. They have plenty of TVs for Sunday football and even Nascar. Plenty of places near by to order some food and sometimes they have a Taco truck . Best to ride a bike there because parking does get tight. Our goto when we are in the area, near the ferry also. They have 2 pool tables and a jukebox.“

“Great sports bar for dinner and drinks! They have all sorts of events every week including live music, Karaoke and line dancing! They have a couple billiard tables, arcade games and horse race betting booths as well! Great place to pop by if you're in town!“

“Okay, this is a solid dive bar/ sports bar in mission Viejo which is a city that is truly lacking dive bars. Nestled behind the kaleidoscope mall. This place is the bar to be at for Saturday or Sunday football. We came in on a Sunday during the holidays and it was packed with NFL fans. The strengths are strong and the menu is what you would expect from a bar like this. The nachos are good, the french dip wasn't bad. The salad wasn't bad. They also have a lot of the breakfast items to choose from. Bartendris was very nice and the other servers were very helpful as well. Don't wear your biker jacket here. There's a sign at the front door.“

“We stopped by here for a quick drink. This dive/sports bar is chill with mostly locals. It's also a fairly spacious spot with pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, and even a photobooth. We ordered 3 mixed drinks for about $8 each, super affordable! Good, chill spot to hang out and grab some drinks. It's unassuming from outside, but definitely worth checking out.“

“Long time divey bar in Balboa. I've been getting beers here for over 30 years now. Cold beer on tap with wine and full bar stock available. Years ago they served food but those days are long gone. Bring food in and eat it there with a drink from the bartender. If you want suggestions on what food is good and close by ask the bartender or one of the locals hanging out having a drink. Pizza Pete is literally next door for pizza by the slice or whole pie. Great Mex is about a block away for tacos. The Balboa market makes sandwiches to order that are solid as well. Darts, pool tables, and games. This is a bar, so no one under 21 is admitted. I saw one review that thought you could bring a baby in. Not sure why the reviewer would believe that was okay but it is clearly against the law. Enjoy the local ambiance, lots of long time Newport characters hang out here. If you're interested in fishing you should have no problem finding someone to talk fishing with.“

“A friend brought me here the first time. I was skeptical as it's not my normal bar to go to. But coming for karaoke is my favorite thing!! And the staff here made me feel safe and comfortable. Danny, Jamie are amazing kind and caring!!! Alex who host's karaoke is also wonderful. Definitely my go to karoke place because of the three people I mentioned above!! 15 out of ten.“

“This is by far the best non-nhl rink I've ever been to. The bar and restaurant sits between rinks 1 and 2. I ordered the Salmon dinner and it was fantastic. I was pleasantly surpised as the quality of the meal for sure at an ice rink. Solid draft selection that rotates and great red wine selections including Austin Hope“

“Came to this place because I wanted to see the hockey playoffs. One thing I like, it's in a good area and it's not hard to miss. They have pool tables, and some games. It's pretty big and I'm play great music. They also have a menu which is neat because if you get tipsy you can order some food. Both Nicole and Jaime were awesome. Nicole was by herself and was multitasking! Making drinks, taking orders, taking food, taking care of everyone, and was cleaning as she was there. Jaime then came in and took over and provided good service. This place it's a really neat sports bar. So many TV's that if you're into sports, this is your place. Thank you Nicole for being such a great bartender and providing great service.“

“We had a team building event at Tavern Bowl in Costa Mesa and the whole process from start to finish was easy and smooth. Trish was great at answering any questions I had prior to the event and the staff at the event was also amazing. We will definitely be back!“

“Nice surf beach bar atmosphere. We were here last weekend to hang out for lunch and some brew. I love the fish n chips here, Got my girly girl a burger and fries. I got the Fish nChip meal with some beer. They have a big alcohol selection in the bar. I had to not drink a whole lot when i am the driver to drive home. Food is excellent here. Staff are cool. I will try and make this a go to place of mine.“

“Came in looking for some sort of breakfast before hitting a whale watching tour. A lot of the other local restaurants had more than a 30 minute wait. So I ordered their breakfast burrito which has eggs, cheese, bacon, hashbrowns and usually salsa but I had that taken off. It was very fulfilling. The type of hashbrowns. They used also included peppers and onions, which gave it a little bit of a flavor. Definitely worth the price.“

“After a long day of baseball and running around with the family, a nice tall beer is served chilly and delicious, I had the fried fish tacos (add hot sauce... Pico is my favorite to add) the wife gets the Kilauea burger almost every time we go.“

“We were weary from coming in from Santa Monica,the drive being kinda long due to morning traffic. We walked in to this place and liked the atmosphere. Clean, spacious,the guy who waited on us was super sweet and although we ordered only fries and soft drinks, we were served quickly and they were good(hot,crispy and tasty!)It made the rest of our trip into downtown San Diego great.“

“Took my kids here! They enjoyed every moment of it. The arcades are really fun and the ticket games are fun enough for my kids since they are still pretty young. The food is good enough for my kids. Overall, fantastic experience!Kid-friendliness: Fun games and easy to eat food.“
