    glamping plate and bbq fries (@justjewelvibes)
    Jewel C.

    genuinely was amazed by how cute this spot was! it's definitely smaller than expected and it really is hidden but worth it! I loved the camp theme and the little cabins that you could sit in. the food and drinks were also amazing! I got the lychee drink which tasted delicious and it was strong. for food, definitely get the bbq fries, the flavor was amazing and addicting. we also got the glamping plate which is like a charcuterie board and I got shrimp and fish tacos. bartender was also super nice and shared with us some PBJ shots! service was great

    I'm absolutely obsessed with this place. As someone who loves camp vibes, this really scratches the itch when I want that ambiance. The drinks are fun with a toasted smore flambeed. Went on a weekday night so it wasn't busy. *it's also a speakeasy!* Hidden inside a restaurant in the back. You feel completely transported to a different place. Can't wait to come back and try the food and other things. I loved being in the cabin booth. Ours had a singing fish! perfection.

    I have visited Cozy Pine twice now and only have good things to say. Firstly the service is great, all very nice and I got a complimentary smore tart plate from my server the last time I visited. The location is also good, there is tons of parking available and I have never had trouble finding a spot. The drinks here are STRONG which is good, but bad if you're driving, so get a couple snacks to sober you up haha. They usually require reservations due to the small capacity of the Cozy Pine room but I think it is definitely worth checking out!

    In search of a fun spot for good conversation that was unique. This place seemed to check all the boxes so I made reservations. It's located in a shopping center so plenty of parking and the cozy pine is located in the back of Bacchus Bar and Bistro so that's where you enter. It took me a second to figure it out. Once you enter you realize how small it is with very few tables so not great for big parties so recommendations are the best. The drinks selections are pretty fun and tasty as well as the fries. Definitely try the fries!!! Service was great and our server always made sure we had what we needed. If you're looking for a cool fun place to get a drink with a couple friends or date night this is definitely a spot to try out. There are amazing food places around as well.

    Our double dates!

    We came for apertifs and all of the drinks were soooo good. We tried lychee, dirty Girl Scout (minty whiskey), and a Smokey mezcal. We LOVED their crispy fries. It tasted like Lays BBQ chips.

    Inside - there's only two tents - very cozy. The rest are just like benches

    I don't go to speakeasies or bars often and my friend wanted to try this spot so we made a reservation to come. Personally, I have never heard of this place before, but my friend said she had seen a lot of tiktoks and it was hard to get a spot. After trying it, I can see why! The inside is very small. The largest party a table can fit is 4 and the whole place can fit maybe 8 parties of 4 max since there's 6 tables and 1 long bar area. We made a reservation for a party of 4 on a Monday at 6:30 pm. Both "tents" which are more intimate tables, were taken already. Food was okay. My friend got the BBQ Shoestring Fries ($12) and my other friend got the Campfire Guacamole ($14). They accidentally gave us the glamping plate ($15). We ended up sharing the Chocolate S'more Tarts ($14) as well. For drinks, my friends got the Camp Anawanna ($17)and Devil's Postpile ($17). I got the Lavender Fields which was a lemon drop which wasn't on the menu. I liked my drink as it was sweet as expected. The server said the Camp Anawanna was one of the sweeter drinks on the menu, but my friend disagreed. She ended up getting a different drink and the server was nice and changed her drink at no extra charge. Overall food and drinks weren't anything crazy, I did enjoy the fries and my drink, but I wouldn't come back specifically for them. The theming for the place is very cool though! Service was a little slower. Since the speakeasy is inside of Bacchus, and in a whole separate room, you can't see when tables need assistance. We found it difficult to get their attention and it got pretty busy in there. They were very nice though. As I said earlier, they changed my friends drink and didn't charge us for the glamping plate since they accidentally gave it to us. For ambience, this is where Cozy Pine excelled. It truly feels like you're in a cabin and the vibes were great. Very cozy and comfy. Perfect for couples or for a girl's night out. I love the decor and even the mugs for the water. The menu is also well curated for the place. I would definitely be back, but give myself some time to enjoy the atmosphere!

    Highly recommend making a reservation when you come! It's VERY tiny and cozy inside (much smaller than we anticipated with only few tables). The interior is SUPER cute and cabin themed with dimly lit orange/firey lighting. It's located inside Bacchus Bar. They have a good selection of finger food here - we ordered bbq fries which were delicious and tasted like bbq chips - the fries were thin and crispy which I love. We also ordered the smores which were more of a cold chocolate pudding inside a cookie wrapped in toasted marshmallows - it was super delicious!! The drinks here are yummy and they have mocktail options available as well.

    Cozy Pine is located inside Bacchus Bistro in the Quail Hill plaza. Parking is easy and no fuss and the place is very easy to find. Cozy Pine has about 6 seating areas and a few bar top stools in a corner. The ambiance is cute, space is limited, and the decor fits the name. The munchies selections are limited but all sounded great and they had a great selection of unique craft cocktails. Fortunately I was already full from my previous destination for the evening so we just opted to try the drink specials . I ordered the Lychee martini and it was very delightful with a kick that I appreciated. Overall I will definitely be back!

    Glamping plate
    Teresa B.

    They release reservations on Yelp a week in advance. It is a small speakeasy, so I highly recommend making one. I had to call Bacchus' phone number to change my reservation time for Cozy Pine. Nicole was kind in accommodating the change. I ordered the ruby's expedition and found it less sour and more sweet, but still refreshing. My friend ordered a lychee martini special for the night. We also tried the Devil's postpile and it was too sweet. My friend didn't finish that drink. As we left, another table mentioned to Nicole that the drinks were too sweet for them too. We shared the guac and glamping plate. The guacamole was served with two big rounds of tostadas, which makes it a little harder to share. We would prefer regular tortilla chips to easily share guac. The glamping plate was good, but just too small to share. Decor is perfectly on theme and cute, even down to the drink ware. Their walls had a Big Foot graphic that often caught my point of view. This is probably a good spot for date night for those who enjoy sweet cocktails. I would try Bacchus first than revisiting to Cozy Pine. Also, when making a reservation it says there is $20 minimum spend per person, which is easy to fulfill due their pricing. Like ordering one drink and an appetizer.

    This is such a cute little speakeasy! It is located inside Bacchus Bistro. The space is small, so reservations are suggested. I was lucky to get a spot without a reservation since it was earlier in the day. I love the ambiance so much- it is campsite themed. The drinks are fun and playful. I liked their version of smores. This place is a definite must if you enjoy tasty cocktails and cute views.

    Food is always amazing I live here charcuterie board. Service is always good Ambiance is good behind a bookshelf very cozy

    Pretty cozy, intimate place with an awesome theme. Was able to get seated on a Saturday night. Ordered an old fashioned and some other drink. Drinks were pretty good - but the service was a bit slow. Would come back though if I'm feeling for an intimate vibe with a bit of a theme.

    20% fee
    Alexis C.

    This is an Instagram trap and I'll tell you exactly why. We recently visited this speakeasy tucked inside a quiet restaurant and had mixed feelings. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight: very cabin-cozy, warm, and intimate, which made it a fun spot to settle into. The French fries were also solid. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't live up to expectations, especially compared to other Orange County speakeasies like Pioneer 10 or The Blind Rabbit. They lacked nuance and depth, and didn't have the complex flavors we look for or expect in a cocktail-focused spot. The experience took a turn when the bill arrived with a 20% "cozy pine fee" added for just two drinks and fries. That surcharge felt surprising and hard to justify given the overall value, why are we being charged a fee of 20%?!?! This also wasn't on the menu or told to us upfront. Personally I don't think it's worth checking out for the ambiance alone. If you enjoy good cocktails this isn't your spot.

    Ask the Community - Cozy Pine

    Are there gluten free options here?

    Hi Nicole, yes we do have some gluten free options.

    Is there a cancellation fee?

    I believe when I made my reservation, I had up until 24 hours to cancel without a fee

    How many seats are in this space? I'm wondering if I were to have my birthday there. Thanks!

    There was about 6 booths and could fit 2 -3 people in each one and there was a couple high chairs. So maybe around 20 seats

    How far in advance can I make a reservation? I see that it's only an available thru the beginning of December right now.

    They book out 2 weeks from the date you want to reserve.

    Is the food offered enough for dinner or just to accompany the drinks as appetizers?

    It's a super cute place and the snacks are good, but I wouldn't say it's enough for dinner personally. There's a restaurant outside of it that has a much wider menu so you could always eat there if you're still hungry.

    What is your phone number?

    +1 (949) 502-4600 . It is the restaurant we are located in, reservations have to be made through Yelp.

    Do you take reservations on yelp for Saturday nights?

    We do! Friday and Saturday do get booked fairly quickly, you’re welcome to call and check what availability we have on our waitlist.

    What are your hours?

    The Cozy Pine opens at 5:30pm everyday. We close at 9pm on Sundays and 11pm the rest of the week.

    How to cancel a reservation?

    You can call the restaurant or cancel through Yelp or however else you booked the rsvp on

    Do you have any vegan and vegetarian food options?

    A lot of their small bites is vegetarian, and they use a vegan chocolate sauce in some drinks.

    Do you have an non-alcoholic drinks/mocktails?

    Hi, we are currently working on curating one to be on our menu, but our bar team will happily shake or stir something up for you according to your preference!

    Do you need reservations or are walk ins allowed?

    You can walk-in, but might have to wait if it's full since it's small inside. Reservations are easily made on Yelp as well.

    Does it have a full bar?

    Hi, we have a full liquor program. The cocktails are made to order from the main bar at Bacchus, but the space is its own enclosed experience. We hope to see you soon!

    Do you have any beer, wine or non alcoholic options? My husband doesn't like liquor and I'm pregnant but we want to check it out!

    We have beer, wine, and N/A cocktails!

    Are babies allowed?

    Hi, Thank you for contacting us. Currently, we are a 21+ space. We are hoping to extend hours on Saturday and Sunday for younger guests between Noon and 4:30PM.

My friend and I both got the autumn salad: mine with a crab cake, hers with steak. Another friend ordered the steak and fries. My salad was fantastic, and the crab cake (both as a topping and as a starter) was a hit across the table. Everyone was happy with their food. Cocktails: The current theme is classic cocktails, and the space definitely leans into that old school martini bar vibe, very classy. Drinks were solid. I ordered the mango cocktail (can't remember the name) and it was a little on the sweet side, but not overly so. Still enjoyable. Service: This is really why I'm writing the update. Erica was our server and she was AWESOME. She noticed my friend's steak was overcooked and immediately replaced it even though he said he'd eat it because he was starving. That kind of attention and care is rare. Someone please give her a raise. Parking: They validate if you park in the Marriott lot Vibe: For a Thursday night, it was surprisingly busy in the lounge, in a good way. Tons of people out and about adding to that chill, lively Thursday evening energy. I loved the blue glow from the outdoor fire pits. Next time, I'm definitely taking my YNK drink outside for a few sips.

You can make reservations on Yelp, and there is also a Yelp live wait list. We visited during happy hour (Tuesday thru Friday from 4pm to 6pm) to take advantage of their food specials. We had the coconut shrimp ($12, but $7 during happy hour) which are always good. We also had some fries ($7, but $5 during happy hour). They were good and a generous portion. She wanted to try the vegan (cauliflower) salt & vinegar wings ($14, but $9 during happy hour). They were breaded and fried well, but had very little flavor. There was just a light sprinkle of a salt & vinegar seasoning. More salt and a dash of malt vinegar on them, or a side of malt vinegar would have made them a lot better. The happy hour food was a good value and got something in our stomachs. My first cocktail was the Wilderness Badge (Tequila, Lemongrass, Basil, Bergamot, Lemon, $17). This was by far my favorite. I love Italicus liqueur and this drink had great bergamot flavor up front with a light basil flavor from the basil infused tequila. It was very balanced and I would have never guessed this was a tequila based cocktail. She started out with the Sasquatch Sighting (Jamacian Overproof Rum, Cynar, Mango, Molasses, Lime, $17). This was balanced, with a light bitterness and light sweetness with mango flavor. Next, I tried The Lost Camper (Demerara Rum, Thai Green Tea, Pineapple, Coconut, Lime, $16). It was a pineapple bomb with a hint of coconut. I didn't like it at all and actually sent it back. I did think the skeleton arm and hand swizzle stick was cool. It is served with the hand at the bottom, but I took the picture with it sticking out. Instead, I had the Black Sands from the regular cocktail menu (Bali Hai Pineapple Rum, Diplomatica Reserve Rum, Pineapple, Orange, Guava, Lime, Coco, charcoal, $18). It is served with a flaming lime and sugar cube. I've had this several times and love it. It has a great funky complex flavor. Next, she had the Naked & Afraid (Mezcal, Campari, Smoked Pineapple, Serrano, Passionfruit, Lemon, $17). This was really good with a great complex mix of smoke and bitterness with a little heat. She gulped it down, and I was lucky to get a few sips. We decided to share the last new cocktail, the Scouts Honor (Vokda, Peach, Mandarin, Orgeat, Lime, $16) so we could say we tried them all. It looks nice with a bright orange color, but it was very sweet and peach forward with a hint of orange. Our server Crystal was great, very friendly and provided great service. We started collecting mugs recently, and we bought the Belly of the Beast Monstro mug ($62) to take home. BOTB is their Pinocchio themed speakeasy in the back (separate reservation required). They also have several other Stowaway branded mugs available. This visit was definitely better than our last few. As far as the five new Summer Camp cocktails, two were excellent, one was good, one was ok, and one was not good. The food was good, and is a great value during happy hour.

    Surprisingly, I've never been to a speakeasy locally (only when traveling!) and this experience…read moregenuinely made me feel like I was somewhere far away. The space is hidden and intimate, and once you're inside, it really does feel exclusive in the best way. It adds to the whole experience and makes it feel like a true escape. The food was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and they were also accommodating with our dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. Overall, such a fun and memorable night. Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time -- it's a small space with only 30 spots and fills up quickly.

    Been wanting to try this place ever since it opened and finally got the chance to do so…read more Located at the packing district, expect to park hella far away or prepare to valet. Not sure if reservations are required, but this speakeasy is pretty tiny so I can't imagine it can accommodate walk ins. We had a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night. The door is very well hidden, I thought it'd be in a basement around the corner or something. The space is really small, so big groups are not advised. I had the niña fresa, a strawberries and creme type drink. Delicious! If you like sweet drinks, otherwise do not get it. I had the Saturn afterwards. Still a little sweet, but mostly sour. The server came by to say that we only had 25 min left, so we hurriedly ordered a last drink. But when he delivered it, it magically became 5 min! I chugged my drink and was ushered out the door. Overall it was pretty nice but I didn't enjoy having to rush at the very end.

Came on a Saturday afternoon and was such a cozy area to sit outdoors and enjoy drinks with friends :) Tucked in the corner with a vintage, maximalist, whimsical vibe. I got the bees knees and the estoy enamorado and both were a tiny bit sweet for me but still really good!

    A very special bar, from the drinks to the decor.

If you have some time while browsing The Lab during the day, I recommend stopping by for a drink! It's also nice to include in your barhopping itinerary in the evening since there are a number of breweries around too. I've had mixed experiences with the bartenders. Luckily, the gentleman manning the bar during my most recent visit was very friendly. Drinks are always great. I've tried a variety of drinks from the menu here, but my favorites are: -Love in Drunk, a lovely cocktail with cucumber and grapefruit flavors that create a fresh watermelon taste when mixed together -Bee's Knees, short but strong and sweet -London Mule, very herbal thanks to the gin and very refreshing

    We made a reservation at Twenty Eight for our son's graduation dinner. We absolutely love this…read moreamazing restaurant! The food is to amazing! Twenty Eight's decor is very elegant and classy but not stuffy. It is very welcoming and comfortable. We arrived early to enjoy a few cocktails before dinner. Our drinks included the Rebel, Do the Hokey Toki and Somm's Old Fashion. The cocktails were a perfect way to start our evening! We had a party of 9 and ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees and sides. My husband and oldest son ordered the Chateaubriand and thoroughly enjoyed it. My middle son and I ordered the salmon, which was perfect as always. Several of our guests ordered the capellini and prime New York strip. Our appetizers: French fries, truffle fries, salmon crudo, Spanish octopus, Black Tiger Shrimp, and of course the famous griddled scallion pao with sambal chili butter (amazing!). Our sides included: garlic fried rice, broccoli and greens, mac and cheese, Brussel sprouts and potato puree. For dessert we ordered the seasonal sorbets: passionfruit and mango - super refreshing! The restaurant surprised my son with a congratulatory dessert for his graduation - totally unexpected and greatly appreciated! He absolutely loved it and it added such a nice touch to our evening! All the cocktails, appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts are absolutely amazing - we loved everything. But, I will say the one thing that is always above and beyond any other restaurant that I visit is the service. I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate the wonderful and warm customer service! Our hostesses, bartenders, server and food runners truly give you the best experience possible. Kevin was one of the first to warmly greet us - and of course he made us feel like old friends visiting again. Stacie visited us during dinner to check on us and make sure that we were enjoying our evening. Another amazing dinner at Twenty Eight and one that we will never forget. Thank you to Stacie, Kevin and the entire Twenty Eight staff for making my son's graduation dinner the absolute BEST. We will be back soon! Thank you!

All the food we got was good, but in comparison to visiting my local southeast Asian restaurants and accounting for the price, it was okay and not outstanding. The biggest Stand outs of this meal was the breads; they were incredibly fluffy and decadence and were a crowd favorite amongst my friends. Everything we got was something not worth getting, or something I've had better elsewhere. The service was good, but my main complaint was that because my party was a group of 6, we were given an awkwardly large table in a room that was empty except for out table and a few decor. As a result, our voices echoed and once again, the it was quite awkward for a high end restaurant. I wouldn't really come back here as a treat meal again, nor would I rave it to my friends.

    When I said "Bar" and "Santa Ana" in the Yelp search - of course it said "Club 616" in the first…read morespot - OF COURSE IT SAID 616!!! I was lucky enough to stumble across this gem of the center of OC when they first opened - and I am proud to be a regular here. I don't know how to go somewhere else - because I feel like the staff are giant gems in this jewel of a spot. Winters is a curator of boozy information that has helped me learn about "gin" and "root beer whiskey" so I can sound like an adult-ish purveyor, when really I know close to nothing except being a willing student to his creations. Dan the Man and Jacob always see me raise my hand in the corner of the bar, like the student I am, and have been willing to fill in the blanks for me when I know I am of thirst, but do not have the words for what to order. Every person working in the well has treated me with kindness - they have taken the time to get to know me, and I will be forever appreciative of how they have taken care of me over the years. But the real joy has been the transformation that this spot has for building a community of people in Santa Ana for real recognizing real. I have been bringing my Dad with me to play pool for the past few years. Sometimes people ask me if he plays professionally, I am terrible, and my skill incline is slow, he is patient and plays with the same level craftiness that the staff offer the cocktails. My Dad is always stoked when we have time to go have a few hours of games at 616 - especially now that there are regulars on 4th street that are excited to see that he is there playing - and they rush to write their names on the chalkboard to challenge him - or beat him in a game they really earned the W. On lazy Sundays, I watch couples sit with their drink, listening to Jazz, and watching my Dad whoop my ass while making amazing shots. I am forever grateful to Memo who sometimes takes a break from his shift behind the bar to give my dad an actual challenge - which allows me the chance to watch my Dad enjoy fellowship around the table. Knowing the table was a relic of the bars former self, and knowing the history that this spot has in Santa Ana is a reminder that so much around us can change - but it is those moments of the crack of the rack, the cheer of getting the combo shot, and the shake of hands when it's over that shows that it's not just about the pool table - but about the energy of a place that is welcoming and curated by people who care about what they do - and care about who comes through their doors. Thank you Jason and Mike B to bringing this to 4th St and supporting the community that was already here - and for building a community for the future. Thank you to Christina and Brandon for always having amazing pictures, decor, and fun events at 616 that help introduce new folks into this great spot. Time is short. Learn about Root Beer Whiskey. Write your name on the Chalk Board. No one lives forever.

    I love the vibe here. It's about the energy and atmosphere for sure. Reminiscent of the bars /…read moreclubs in Baja California or Mexico in general, it's lively with a back patio area and even like a taquero there, at least on weekends.
