18 Best Cocktail Bars near Silverado

“This is our 3rd visit. We took a friend, she was very impressed! Definitely in our top 10 spots. The plates and presentations are unique. A real find for our area! Always memorable, staff is kind and well versed in presentations and ingredients.“

“I have been to my fair share of Ramen restaurants, and I must say this one takes the cake for being the most aesthetically pleasing. It gives a vibe to the decor, from the bowls to the vase water, and even the chopsticks are mood.As for the food, I ordered a classic California sushi roll, which was excellent, along with their House Ramen bowl, which was fantastic. It had bok choy, egg, and pork. The pork was all tender and just delicious. Sometimes, when you go to restaurants for Ramen noodles, you’ll get a hit or miss, but I will say for this restaurant, there was no hit or miss; the Ramen noodle was just perfection.As for the drink, I ordered the Galaxy, which is butterfly peas, strawberry, lemonade, and mango jelly, and I think something else, but I cannot remember it was great. It was excellent.The service was good.I would say spending a moderate amount of money here for this restaurant, especially given the area it's in.Overall, 10 out of 10.“

“This place is our local neighborhood sports bar! Memo, Mel, Alyson, Bree, Chelsea, Lisa, Kenna, and everyone else in the kitchen (sorry I don’t know all your names) are awesome. You will be made to feel like family! My wife and I come here 2-3 times a week in the late afternoon, and we love the sports, the atmosphere and music. Yes, we do love our country music, and Memo always accommodates us. Don’t worry, the younger crowd gets all the hip hop, pop, and rap they want, just not in the afternoon when us “seasoned folks” come in. You gotta come in and check this place out, it is awesome! Oh , the cheeseburgers are the best! Love you Penaltie’s!“

“This turned out to be a great find. Everyone loved their food. It is clearly made with care and the recipes are delicious. Good portions at reasonable prices.They have a good size patio area as well as plenty of indoor space. We loved the fun repurposed seating like church pews and theater seats.Special shout out to a seriously spicy bloody Mary.My wife only at half her breakfast burrito as it was quite large. She loved the roasted green salsa.Myself and others enjoyed their take on shrimp and grits. Such a great combination of flavors.Not that many people there for Sunday brunch time which was surprising as so many people wait in line for brunch at other places not nearly as good.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, just curb at sidewalk“

“Angelina's is absolutely delightful and delicious! There's a lot of good food in Irvine, but this is a spot I definitely want to go back to. My chicken entree was some of the best cooked chicken I've ever had; it was a huge cut that was succulent and juicy. I was a bit worried about it being flavorless since I got the Calabrese sauce on the side, but even without it the taste was decadent. The salumi board and cheeses were also a hit, as was the burrata. I definitely stuffed myself with cheese and do not regret it in the slightest. I will say my drink wasn't the most exciting, but for one drink I definitely felt like there was a good amount of alcohol in it. Service, especially with drunks was also a little bit slow and they were bringing out drinks 1-2 at a time, but we had a large party on a week night and it looked like the bar only had one worker so it wasn't a big deal, I am understanding of that! All in all I really liked this spot and want to try more of their menu.“

“I went on trivia night (Tuesday nights) and ordered the Slaughter Vegan Al Pastor nachos. The nachos were insanely delicious. I could not believe the al pastor “meat” was plant-based. Amazing!! Trivia night was also so much fun! Me and my crew will definitely be going back for drinks, trivia, and the Slaughter Vegan Al Pastor nachos and tacos!“

“My boyfriend and I went on 1/12/24 to try the tequila tasting. We sat at the bar and Sterling led us through a very knowledgeable conversation about the different types of Asombroso Tequila. He was very sweet and he makes one hell of a margarita! Thank you Sterling for educating us and making us feel welcome. The drinks were very creative and tasty, highly recommend the Aqua Lily and the margarita flight (pictured). We will pay a visit next time we are in town!“

“We came in a little before they closed, so the kitchen was shut down. We just had chips. We ordered a couple of beers. We saw that that had an espresso martini, and he made it for us just before last call. It was one for the best we've had in a long time. Really interesting place. We'll go back again soon.“

“We had no idea we were sitting on a gold mine. We had eaten near by a number of times and never thought to try it - another neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Friendly neighbors mentioned it, they got a big thank you. My chicken mole was so beautifully presented, unlike any I've had before and the taste was equal to its looks. My wife's order of enchiladas suizas de Pollo was incredible but she only gave me one, despite my begging. We were there for brunch but neglected to try the mimosas, a mistake we won't make again. Fellow diners near us did have them and we became very jealous. Our waiter was very attentive and flawless. As we left I wanted to tell the manager how good he was but gave up too soon. Bottom line - we're going back!“

“UPSCALE, EXCITING, ENERGETIC, TO WARM VIBRANT ATMOSPHERE. MUSIC AND FOOD ARE LIT*** DRINKS ARE ON POINT*** THE STAFF ARE WARM, FRIENDLY, AND PROFESSIONAL. HAPPY HOURS ARE LIT*** CATERS TO ALL OCCASIONS. IVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OVER 4 YEARS. MAKE RESERVATIONS OR COME EARLY*** SEE YOU THERE!!!“

“Came here to meet my friends to see a band that was playing and had a couple of beers and was so surprised what a hidden gem this place is. Yes it's not a trendy upscale place but I found it refreshing to see older crowd having so much fun dancing singing audience participation was there even someone jumped in and played a sax. I didn't have food but next time will try as I only heard it was decent.“

“We come here at least once a month. The food is delicious & they change the menu often, which is delightful. It's not boring. The staff is very friendly & know their menu especially their drinks. Always a pleasant experience.“

“The service was excellent. The food was very good although it was not very spicy. The portion of carnitas was very large. They offer lunch specials until 4:00 PM.Parking: Plenty of parking available in a shared parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible from parking lot. Wide aisle inside the restaurant with room to move a wheelchair or walker.“

“My husband and I went there for happy hour. The service was great. Very friendly staff and quick to get drinks out, food was delicious and great rates. All items on HH are $8. Only down side was the music was super loud in the bar and the lights in the bathroom were distracting. More of a club feel. We will definitely go back but dine in the main restaurant.“

“I needed a last minute dinner rezy, so I headed to Open Table and secured a table. The service and food are always great. We love dining in the patio area. It's easier to have a conversation, plus the patio has such a calm tropical vibe. Our dinner was delicious as usual. We had no room for dessert this time!“

“Been here twice-once for a private event and last night for happy hour for a friends bday. Love the heaters. Love the Gluten friendly food options-wings and sweet potato fries were delicious. The sparkling hibiscus lemonade (non alcoholic) was great-not too sweet. Bathrooms were clean. Service was efficient. Server asked about food allergies which I always appreciate.“

“Food was great as always - Cece gave us excellent service :) thru her i just learned of the secret menu and I very much enjoyed the hero :) . . . Usually we eat outside and at lunch time - so I want to also say that Ash is also a wonderful server . . . Thanks so much for the wonderful service and food - we always come here with out-of-towner friends . . . Ambiance is always chill and relaxing - never too loud“

“I love the happy hour deals. You can sit at the bar or the outdoor patio has nice couches/sofa style seating which is especially nice when it's beautiful out! Service can be a little spotty because they are sometimes short staffed but overall the servers are always very friendly. I absolutely love the beef carpaccio with the flavors of fresh salad and cheese and croutons on top. The calamari is a must order and my husband's favorite. I didn't have pictures but the brio burger is also delicious and such a good deal! Posted a full size photo of our beef carpaccio from another visit when it was full sized so you can see the difference. Don't forget to ask for the warm and crusty free house bread with a thick slice of butter!“
