“For a taproom with great beers, they make amazing margaritas and offer excellent mezcal. Their food is fresh, healthy and authentic. I stopped by for lunch on Saturday and was seated immediately. I love this place and will be stopping by at my next visit to Newport.“
“Very good sausage, English muffins not just junkie cheap ones like most use, dairy gold butter and smuckers jam, good bacon. Great steak fries.Cup that wife's coffee came in was not clean from previous customer, but everything else was way above average.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“Pub food for the win. We had nachos, chicken strips and cocktails while watching football. The blue man drink was lovely company. He didn't say much. Liquid on the brain.Our server, Emily, was great. Thank you.Lively and fun sports bar vibe.“
“It was a different kind of experience for us. It had the atmosphere of a restaurant, but you had to order and pay at the bar. It was not busy or crowded, so it worked out well for us. I wonder how crazy it is when the place is busy. Overall, the food was good, and the service was satisfactory. I would go back again when I'm in the area.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
