Beyond the mixology, the bar is very approachable and easy for just a regular drink as well. I ordered the vesper: gin and vodka martini with a twist. The good cocktails and super intimate vibe make for a great recipe. There are a couple high quality leather upholstered couches. Along with the couches there are a few high tops and a good amount of seats at the bar. The space would be very fun when crowded but I tend to prefer to have to have the bar to myself. Then I can spend time talking with the person behind the bar (I'm sure I can be very annoying) I was served by Karena. She was super knowledgeable and patient. I wanted to talk about different cocktails and really get the full experience. The whole visit exceeded my expectations. Beyond the drinks, service, and decor; this place is truly something special.

I stopped by during a slow weekday lunch, and the service is good in a friendly atmosphere. You can tell there are some of regulars who make it feel like a community gathering spot. There's weekly events and comedy nights. The menu is fairly simple, with sandwiches, soups, and salads. The food was decent, though nothing particularly memorable. I'm sure the draft beer selection is good here, but I'm not much of a beer drinker, so I can't really comment on that. Service was friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. While it may not become one of my favorite lunch spots, it's a comfortable place to unwind and be away from the office.

The service is always fast, and it's nice that the bar opens at 5 pm to enjoy early drinks before the band comes on. Very sad that the MACARONI is gone! That was my favorite dish! The nachos were really good but too big for one person and that's why I've always loved the macaroni. Other than the macaroni being gone, excellent experience back after a year of not visiting! Bartenders are always super cool no matter who we have gotten.

On a recent Sunday morning, I'd discovered this place (only open on Sundays) -- and determined we…read morewere heading there that evening! Enter the parking lot from Bake. Friendly, welcoming, professional, and attentive service. We ordered the following cocktails -- all beautifully presented, each with fine details (including clear ice cubes), passionately prepared, and with fun-&-uniquely different flavor profiles... unlike any cocktail we'd tasted: Last Cloud, $20 Warm Fade, $20 Kembu Highball, $18 Complimentary (warm) popcorn was appreciatively offered -- and refilled. I understand that the menu changes weekly. Dimly-lit, intimate bar with (if I'm not mistaken) 10 barstools at the bar top and limited seating (I seem to recall about 12) between high top and round tables. Fun to discover another speakeasy!

They did have uber/lyft pickup at the front door area too. They do have a strict 21 carding rule with no outside food/drinks/items so leave them in your car or they will not allow you in. The place is a typical sports bar with TV's of different sizes mounted in every wall and one projector mounted in the backroom. The TV quality is vary however with the best view and newest TVs in the center area in the back. They do also have pool tables available in another backroom and outdoor seating too. But most were closed off for the World Cup Finals event. The tables are ALL first come first serve so you have to come early for these special sports events! They do open early even though the posted hours said 12pm they actually opened around 11am when the line begins forming. We got a small high top table near the bar for our group of 5. The servers are very fast and attentive here even though they only have a few! They literally make rounds to check on every single table so you're very well taken care of! For the world cup they have a small menu available including all beers on tap and select cocktails. But you could order off menu if you remember the regular menu items. We got the California Burger which was HUGE and a very standard burger served with fries. You literally needed to eat this with a fork and knife it was that big. The meat was cooked well but tasted very standard without much seasoning. Chipotle Chicken Wrap: We upgraded regular fries to sweet potato fries. The wrap was also huge and tasty and probably the healthiest option available. Chicken Wings: Also very flavorful with your choice of sauce. Very standard bar wings with your classic ranch and celery sticks. The atmosphere was VERY loud inside packed full of football fans from both sides. They had set specific areas for Argentina and Spain with flags and jerseys set out with folding tables for overflow seating. Everyone was super respectful regardless of the side and supported each other even on the losing team. This place has a REALLY small bathroom with literally one toilet stall and urine in the mens, and two stalls in the women's so the bathroom line is always long! Overall, a fun place to come hangout to watch a game and enjoy some OK bar food. But the service is excellent and we'll likely come back for future sporting events or just to hangout with friends.

Stopped by this billiards spot recently for lunch and was seriously impressed. The atmosphere is…read morelaid-back but still feels upscale enough for a night out with friends or drinks after work. Biggest highlight: they offer FREE billiards Monday-Friday until 4 PM with a $15 lunch purchase which is honestly one of the best deals around. Normally it's $15 per hour with a $20 food/beverage minimum. Service was attentive and friendly. There are full-size and bar sized tables and they recently redid the felt last week so everything rolls super smooth and plays great. You can tell they actually maintain the equipment instead of just throwing tables in a corner like some places do. On the downside, i wasn't a huge fan of my expresso martini which didn't actually have expresso in it. They use a coffee liquor so it tasted like diluted coffee. The food was on the pricier side and was just typical bar food/smaller proportions.

The harp is definitely an institution in Costa Mesa. I mean I cannot tell you how many times I have…read morebeen here. Long before Yelp was even a thing, and long before the internet really was put into the hands of the cow in person, this was the hub. This is where you went to meet people, exchange ideas, have conversation and more. The harp is really an institution in Orange county. And not just because it has longevity, there's a reason that it has sustained power. This place is probably one of the most authentic Irish pubs I've been to. Having been to Ireland. I can attest that this is right there with a standard pub in a small town. Which makes it wonderful. The people that run the place, especially Paul, is one of the reasons why I keep coming back here. He's personable, funny, and no-nonsense right. I like his way of thinking and his approach to customer service a second to none. Now let's talk about the food and drinks. From a drink standpoint. You cannot go wrong with this place, the drinks are thoughtfully made, this guy knows how to pour a beer. As far as food goes. I highly recommend the beefeater sandwich, and you cannot go wrong with the chicken wings. Some of the best wings I've had ever. Friday and Saturday nights is usually popping pretty hard when they have bands playing. So, good luck trying to find a seat anywhere in the place. When there is an event that night. You will have to get there early for sure. The bottom line? This is a go-to hangout. If you are looking for a good watering hole to meet people, just hang out and have a good time, or watch a game on the big screen TVs. F*** I would highly recommend the harp to anybody and everyone in the Orange county area.
