My partner had never been to Cassidy's, so naturally I had to educate her. Told her hands down, one of the best burgers in SoCal. My go-to is the bacon cheeseburger with chips, a hot dog on the side, and two Guinness. Yes, the hot dog is necessary. Don't question the system. Came in for an early dinner on a Tuesday. Great service, especially considering the bartender was also holding it down as the cook. Good vibes as always, and for a dive bar, the place stays clean. And that burger? Food smacks every damn time. No fancy presentation needed. Just a big, juicy burger that makes you reconsider every drive-thru decision you've ever made. And obviously, while you're there, you have to take a shot. I don't make the rules. Just great food, cold beer, good people, and dive-bar vibes. Cassidy's never disappoints. read more

Pull up to Cassidy's so Christine and Chandler can help you out. That was the best damn cheeseburger I've had in a minute.. for sure the best around.. especially with a cold mug of beer. cheers to great service and a good vibe. The grilled cheese ( not pictured) was also a slam dunk. My gf added bacon and pickles to her grilled cheese which was a wild move but I'll do it again! See ya soon Cassidy's read more

Voted the best dive bar in Newport Beach, Cassidy's is my favorite spot and I've been coming here for years. The burgers and hot dogs never let me down. Great food, great people, and it feels the same every single time I walk in. You have to sit at the bar and ask for Caleb or Derek. They're the best. Both of them know exactly what they're doing, from the drinks to the food, and they make you feel taken care of right away. Derek especially knows his way around the grill, and the burgers always come out perfect. The burger itself is thick and juicy, cooked just right, with melted American cheese sitting perfectly on the patty. The bun is soft, lightly toasted, and holds everything together without falling apart. Crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, raw onion, and pickles are stacked clean, nothing sloppy, nothing overloaded. There's something about the grill they cook on that gives the meat a flavor you can't really explain. It's just different, and once you taste it, you know. Then there's that homemade green salsa they keep in bottles behind the bar. I pour it on everything. Burgers, hot dogs, fries. It cuts through the richness and pulls the whole thing together. This is the kind of burger you sit with and enjoy. No rush. Same reason I've been coming here for years and will keep coming back. read more

At Cassidy's you get the true dive bar experience. Amazing drinks (not watered down at all) and amazing food. What everyone says abt their burgers is true, they're that good! I split one w a friend but I'll get my own next time haha. I think the sauce that comes with it is the best part. I ordered a strawberry nutrol afterwards and the seltzer combined w my drink was enough to get me tipsy read more

Terrible vibe don't cruise. But maybe get a patty melt cracked out drink a beer or 12 and play some pool if you dare.

We have come to Cassidy's for drinks and cheeseburgers it seems like forever and we've never been disappointed. The bartenders are always friendly and poor a great drink. They feature many different types of bourbon and whiskey at very reasonable prices. Come for great drinks at an amazing dive bar but don't forget to order a burger. You'll be happy you did! read more

This is the best bar ever super divy love it great dude, , the bartenders here also Derek

This is your typical dive bar with accent on dive! I Hadn't been here in a minute and hasn't changed at all. I think it actually got dirtier and smaller lol. But the reason you come here is for the dive bar vibe and the hamburgers. So let's talk about the burgers! Hands-down the best patty melt I've had in a long time! Patty melt was a five! The service was what you'd expect, close to nothing unless you're a regular here. Come for the burger and if you're lucky, you get on a pool table or a good spot on the good side. The place is really small! But I will come back for the patty melt! read more

Christine is the best!! we asked the locals where we should go and they all said this is the bar! Pool great music and the best time! We will be back! read more

My friend used to be a regular here and she always talks about the hamburgers...ALWAYS. So we decided to do a foodie day because she was coming into town and our first stop was Cassidy's for their hamburger. The guy cooking the burger was absolutely gorgeous so that was a good start. I shall call him burger, daddy. ‍ the Burger came out and we decided to split it because we were making a few stops. They handed us a bottle of sauce and I asked if it was ketchup and my friend goes no it's a pepper sauce so I put some on my burger and I took a bite. WOW OK OK I GET IT NOW!! Absolutely delicious! 10/10 I don't even drink, but I feel like I have to come here by myself to get the burger now!! read more

Cassidy's Bar & Grill - The burger 10/10 - Dive Bars Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Best damn bar on the Peninsula. Treat em right and they'll treat you better. Solid pours too!

Best burgers ever. Little known gem in the most divey bar in the peninsula. Good food, good people, good service, good times.

This is the most perfect bar. The bartenders are so great and don't even get me started on the food. I'm not local, so when I'm in town I make it my top priority to come here for a patty melt. This may sound dramatic to some, but if you get it then you get it. To most people it is just a patty melt, but to me it is a beacon of hope and a reminder that there is good in this world. I love it so much that I fly back to AZ with one to-go. read more

If you're looking for a laid back hole-in-the-wall type of bar, this is your place! Fairly small, but that's not a bad thing. Bartenders were friendly, beer was cold, TVs had sports, and the hamburger was solid. Nothing wrong here. Really not too much to write home about, but I'd go back. read more

I would've loved to give this place a 5 star. Unfortunately I got assaulted last night from the bouncers because I won 6 games of pool. I had to call the police and file a complaint. I would like to speak to a manager and resolve this issue or I will have to proceed with filing a lawsuit. Other than that the bartenders are amazing!!!!!!!!! read more

My wife and I ordered a patty melt and a BLT. FANTASTIC! They were both perfectly cooked and delicious! We both agreed they were the best we've ever had! The BLT was LOADED with crisp delicious bacon, and her patty melt with their secret sauce was great! To top with off, we washed them down with a couple ice cold.beers served by a great bartender named Mark. Great service, and a super nice guy. I highly recommend! read more

Cassidy's Bar & Grill - Best Cheese burger this side of Arizona! - Dive Bars Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Micah from Cassidy's was so helpful and kind! He deserves a raise! Fun pool and good drinks!

Five years, my husband and 6 of his dedicated friends have done this yacht show pilgrimage, and every single time they hit Newport Beach we ask: where would you eat. Not the polished nonsense, just real food. They all get this look-like they're letting us in on classified intel-and say skip Lido, skip Fashion Island, go to Cassidy's. We laughed; the joint looks like the garage next to where I get my tires rotated. Wood walls, sticky floors, beer signs flickering. But Brian puts down a burger on that open flame and suddenly everyone's quiet. It's not hype: it's seared geometry, it's salt and beef speaking French without trying, it's the kind of center that flirts with you. Our friends-the ones whose belts sit under their nipples-suddenly slumped into chairs like humans again. He didn't just feed us, he defused tension with a spatula. Michelin stars could orbit this thing. We'll be back. Brian, thank you. read more

Should be called Insecure men bar and grill , the bouncers are ridiculously rude for no reason . My daughter who is autistic wanted to come here and play pool on her 21st birthday because her name is cassidy and she loves pool and the bouncers yelled at her while she was finishing up and game of pool and then decided to kick her out for literally doing nothing. They just ran over to the pool table and cussed at her and put a cone on a table . And then proceeded to laugh and point at her and me as we were leaving . Bouncers are supposed to protect and keep the bar safe not create a cruel and rude environment, these power hungry men need a lesson on how to treat people with respect. I tried to complain while I was there and although the bartenders were nice they just ignored my complaint and said they don't have a manager . A manger or owner really needs to rethink there hiring process and get some real men security. read more

I think there's an obvious pattern in these reviews that involve the bouncers. The macho man wanna be arrogance makes this a no go for me. Unsafe vibes, especially from the people there who are meant to keep things safe. If you're looking for a problem free night I do not recommend. Very disappointed.. read more

Like others have said, our group had a terrible experience with the bouncers last night while playing pool. I like this bar but unfortunately will not be coming back because of how rude the bouncers were (for no reason). Plenty of other bars to go to that don't have that level of disrespect from staff members. Cassidy's, if you don't want to keep getting one star ratings, I suggest hiring better bouncers that don't have an attitude problem. read more

I've been around for quite sometime. Tasted many melts many burgers many sandwiches.... Today. My eyes were truly opened.... to the incredible potential that lies inside the humble patty melt. If the cassidys patty melt was a Greek God, it would be Zeus. Today, my tastebuds were shocked into submission. Humbly, my mouth and my soul, bow down to the new king of sandwiches-the Cassidy's patty melt. P.s. get it OG style. It doesn't need anything extra.... read more

Our experience here was amazing, bar tender was super cool, they have the full BTAC lineup which is insane. Highly recommend

So I made my second visit here and this time tried the burger which I've heard so much about. And I wasn't let down,I had a cheese burger with avocado and bacon. And wow, what a great tasting juicy burger with plenty of flavor. Apparently all bartenders are trained to cook all the items on the small menu they have. This is a nice little "dive bar" filled with locals constantly coming and going with a nice cool vibe. Everyone was friendly and very attentive, and locals included. Just a cool place to hang out. read more

Great Service & Food! Remember customers including their preference of drinks - tasty food!

The owner of the place we rented highly recommended Cassidy's as where "the locals go" Rated the best hamburger in the area (he said) But we ordered the patty melt. And loved it Everyone working there was nice. We were able to park our bike in front We got it "to go" and it took less than 10 minutes. People were eating outside read more

It's been over 10 years since I've been here. Actually, I don't think Yelp existed then. Nothing has changed! I love it! Cold beer, great burgers and cool peeps.
