Amazing local open air beachfront spot in Newport Beach. Not only is Mutt Lynch's one of the most fun spots in Newport Beach. Its diverse menu and wide drink selection are second to none....and the staff only make it better!! We had a special request for someone graduating and they didn't think twice, going out of their way to help. Stop in, grab a burger or wings and a cold beer. You won't be disappointed read more

This is the best bar for night life and day life!! When you want to have a good time come to mutt Lynch's! Best time ever!!!!

The absolute best environment in all of Newport Beach any time of the day. Phenomenal staff who are all very attentive to their customers. Delicious food and extra points for amazing music!! :)) read more

This is one of my sister in law's favorite bars in Newport, so we came in here while we were in town on vacation. We came relatively early on a Saturday, totally forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day weekend and this place would be poppin (which it definitely was as the day carried on). We were seated right away for breakfast. On weekends, they don't start serving lunch till 11:45am, but we got to enjoy their breakfast. I didn't even realize they serve food. We were seated in the upstairs area which was pretty awesome because you got more of a view of the ocean! It was awesome. The guy that seated us was one of the brothers that works there and he was so nice! He told us to let him know when we were ready to leave because it gets crazy and people try to steal tables hahah. He even tried to get us to stay later and offered to buy us all a shot if we did, which of course, my family never says no to, so they all got to enjoy that haha. He was fantastic! Our server was also amazing though I didn't get her name. The staff here really is outstanding! To eat, I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of their fruit bowl. It was all really good. The food came out pretty quick which was great. My family all enjoyed their HUGE beers and mimosas. But really, the drinks look like they could be a bowl of soup haha. We loved it here and I'd definitely come back. Once the afternoon hit, they turned the music up for the St. Patrick's Day crowd. It was definitely a fun atmosphere! read more

I like bar food and sports, so I went to Mutt Lynch's about twice in one week since hockey playoffs are this time of year. Their food isn't too bad especially if you want to watch sports, enjoy greasy food with a friend, or need a quick bite after a beach day. I think kids are allowed until a certain time (but I'm not sure when) cos once the sun sets, they have a bouncer checking IDs. Lots of seating available. Service is ok. When you get inside, you can pick any table of your choosing and your server will find you. Also, the restrooms are clean! First time I came here, I tried the lemon pepper pterodactyl wings and sweet potato fries. The wings were kinda bland and needed ranch for flavor. The sweet potato fries were pretty greasy but went great with a beer. I've also tried their California Dreamin' burger with garlic fries. This burger was so yummy and filling!! The bun is like a grilled cheese and the toppings go so well together. The garlic fries were meh. read more

First time coming here because I live in Newport and I was really excited, but unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. Our server was rude from the start and treated me and my friend with unnecessary attitude. We ordered our food and even closed out our bill, yet our food sat under the heat lamp getting cold while our server stood around talking to other patrons, completely ignoring it. By the time it was finally brought to us, it was clear it had been sitting there for a while. When I was visibly frustrated, our server repeatedly said, "Sounds like you have a complaint, do you need the manager?" in a condescending tone. I initially said I didn't want a manager and simply wanted to explain the issue since he kept asking, but he continued pushing it. So eventually, I agreed. To be honest, the person he brought over didn't seem professional, and it appeared they had already been discussing us beforehand, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. Just a bit of advice for our server: kindness costs nothing. There was no reason for the hostility, especially toward two respectful customers.. Very disappointing service. The attitude was unnecessary and embarrassing. Safe to say I won't be back. and I definitely won't be recommending this place to any of my friends in Newport Beach. Besides from that, tacos were dry & food was warm sadly. read more

Great location right on the boardwalk with a view of the water. Loud music and high energy environment with massive drinks as I'm sure you've read. Large extensive food menu. The buffalo chicken wrap and Garlic fries were great. I've previously had their breakfast burritos over brunch, which were solid as well. If you're looking for a high energy spot with large food and drink portions, check this place out! Good service when we attended. read more

This place is a good time- everything you want in a beach bar. Food was surprising fresh and tasty, had seafood tacos and calamari. However, the 10am-10pm happy hour on Mondays is what really got me excited. read more

Good nightlife option in Newport Beach. Gets super crowded after 10:30 pm. They have an outdoor, somewhat enclosed patio + an indoor bar area. Drinks are pretty averagely priced. My friend was starving and got fries which she was very happy with. read more

Have been 5 times in the last 5 months and food is good but every time the drinks are HORRIBLE, I mean the worst drink I've ever had. So went last night and I finally found out the vodka in the drink is that rice vodka crap which tastes bad and gives me a horrible headache since I'm allergic to rice. Each time I go I read the menu to make sure I order a different drink because previous ones were terrible and never saw anything about not real vodka, tequila etc. Another table next to us were talking about with the waitress and that is how I found out. MUTTS HAS THE AUDCITY TO CHARGE 14 TO 16 BUCKS FOR FAKE WINE BASED ALCOHOL. Once the drink so bad I had them send it back because it was undrinkable and still nothing was said about rice alcohol. Thanks Mutts for the allergic reaction I've suffered thru and had to pay way to much for. read more

Came here multiple times throughout our time in Newport, most of the food was pretty good. Only thing I didn't like were the garlic fries which were extremely greasy. Service was very good and right on the beach. read more

Stopped in here for a beer and the views and loved this place! Vibe was super chill and the patrons very nice. I didn't have much time here as I needed to get to my next stop but did have time to enjoy one drink. I love the beach and this place was right on the water. Bartender was very nice and man they had a huge selection of draft beers here and I was really overwhelmed. But, I spied a mango guava wheat and that was my immediate choice and it's a great beer! Subtle hints of mango and guava and a true wheat beer. I couldn't stay in here too long and get rowdy and had to move one but damn I wished I had one more hour here just to enjoy one more mango guava wheat and the beautiful, gorgeous sunset! Definitely come check this place out when in Newport Beach! read more

I went yesterday with hubby, went to the up stairs bar. We were the only people up there. The bartender was a dark haired guy. He was so busy doing nothing, just walked back and forth and totally ignored us. I finally told him we wanted to order. Put the order in then ignored us the whole time we were there, talked to his buddies at the end of the bar when they came in. The worst service I've ever had anywhere. Will not be back. read more

Went for a breakfast meet up and it was very much beyond expectations. Right down on the board walk by the beach in Newport, so it was pretty good view beyond the parking lot. Nice open air feel because of all the open windows. It doesn't have that full bar smell, which is actually nice in the morning. Service was good. They have quite a few people working walking by checking on everybody so that was nice. I got the hillbilly hash without gravy . I wasn't expecting it to be as delicious as it was. Like I said previously, it exceeded my expectation. The sausage was pan grilled very nicely had some crispy edges, and the bacon was super crispy. The potatoes were super crispy, and the sautéed veggies were delicious as well eggs were cooked perfectly. If you are down in Newport or even if you aren't and want some good food, give mutt lunch as a try. read more

Mutts Lynch is a stand out. Any chance of being labeled as pretentious or touristy I will debate. At 1pm on a random Thursday, this place is bumping and they are serving champagne in mugs.

The food was amazing -- especially the fried pickles, which were hands down my favorite. Everything came out great and was clearly made with care. The staff and service were also excellent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the bouncers really stood out. They were all wonderful, but Aveld in particular was an amazing bouncer and such a respectful person. You genuinely feel safer when he's around, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'd come back to and recommend. read more

The portions are HUGE so go in with a big appetite or prepare to share. The location is great, right on the beach. You can't beat the view of the sunset. Service was friendly.

Great experience! We came in for the Tuesday $5 taco special and were impressedhuge, filling tacos for the price. We also tried the sea tacos, which come with three big fish tacos, and they were happy to make them one of each. On Mondays they have a buy one get one-free pizza deal, which is an amazing value too. Our daughter had the kids hot dog and loved it, the portion was surprisingly big. The waitress was very friendly and suggested a few drinks that we enjoyed. You really can't beat the view one of the best on the West Coast and the prices are excellent for such a luxury location. We'll definitely be back read more

Don't bother. Food is below average. Tables and booths are sticky. Service was decent for the place. Champagne was flat, burgers were mush. Turkey smelt like it was sitting with raw fish. Only recommend this place if you want a nice draft beer. read more

The Mutt experience is a must! Pizza, wings, beer, football, a great view and awesome people!

We had a disappointing experience during our recent visit. After being seated, we waited approximately 3-5 minutes without being acknowledged, despite the restaurant not being busy (only a couple of nearby tables were occupied). We ultimately had to get up and approach the bar to request menus. Shortly after, another party was seated and was promptly greeted, provided menus, and had their drink orders taken, while we were still waiting to be assisted. When we requested menus, the server's response came across as unprofessional, and unfortunately, we were not attended to afterward. Due to the lack of service and overall experience, we chose to leave. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER !! I sat down with my boyfriend, and our waitress ignored us for about 20 minutes. I literally went to grab my own menus and told her we've been waiting for her, and then she proceeded to ignore us AGAIN by walking in front of our table and taking the next party's order, who just sat down. (They were a bigger party so idk if she's only looking for tips) We left and she didn't even notice. This just happened 20 minutes ago so she's still there. Blond girl is currently working on the second floor by the bar. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE read more

Mutt Lynch's at 23rd street and oceanfront, overlooking the ocean and a public paid parking lot. I've been coming here for many many years because I love the vibe here and I love the schooners of beer. Mutts has redecorated their bar since the Covid crisis. It's a fresh new upbeat look compared to what it once was, and it's a very different vibe now. Think dive bar by the ocean that's actually nice inside now. The food is typical bar food, decent when you're drinking. Their pizzas have always been good. The staff is generally fast getting orders and then delivering drinks and food. If you can sit at the front window area, that is the best spot to be for ocean smells and people watching. There is public paid parking out front however after a certain hour the parking I believe becomes free. Mutts is a Newport Beach staple, if you've never been, give them a try. I've been coming for almost 20 years now. read more

Taco Tuesday Heaven!!!!! Quick set up: I was in the area on business for one day. Myself and two others had a meeting in the morning and flights to catch in the afternoon. One of the guys in my group had never been to California before and had never seen the Pacific Ocean. With some time to kill, it was suggested that was stop at the beach to cross the Pacific Ocean off of his bucket list. It was December 17th but the weather was gorgeous. I believe it was around 70 degrees. Sun was shining and overall just a beautiful Cali day. We took a quick walk down the pier at Newport Beach. Saw some dolphins, surfers and a number of people fishing off of the pier. Now, it was time for a drink. We had tried one place but it was closed for a private event so they recommended Mutt Lynch's. Down the way we walked. With an oceanfront facing view, Mutt Lynch's was mostly open air in the front. You can't escape the beautiful view. As we walked up to the bar, I noticed all of the eclectic decor throughout with Christmas decorations intertwined for the holidays. As having a drink was on our minds, we each had a seat at the bar and ordered a beer. Food was not on our radar until..... There were two bartenders working. A man and a woman. Both were extremely friendly and conversational. When asked if we were eating, we kind of beat around the bush not knowing if we were going to have something. Then the male bartender proclaimed, "It's Taco Tuesday and we got some bomb-ass tacos!" He had me. I ordered the steak taco. This street taco style taco was one of the best I've ever had. The key was the steak. Larger chunks of steak that were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Not dry and chewy but but rather tender and ridiculously flavorful. Not a whole lot of frills either. If I remember correctly, I think there was onion and cilantro and they were served on corn tortilla's. These tacos were in fact, bomb-ass tacos!!! As we were sitting there, enjoying our tacos and beverages during a Tuesday lunch, I couldn't help but notice the shelf of Mutt Lynch's hats on the wall. One of these hats really caught my eye. It was a simply black truckers hat with a grey front and bill with Mutt Lynch's logo embroidered in white on the front. I had figured they'd be about $40 or $50 but I thought I'd ask. $27, tax included. Done! Love that hat. It's got a great look too it and, well, you can never have too many hats. Would I go back? I would love to go back. The next time I'm out in Cali, I will definitely make the trip out to Mutt Lynch's. Given that I extensively travel around the world for business, I'm going to try and remember to take my Mutt Lynch's hat with me and get snapshots of that little gem all over the world and shoot them back to the fine people at Mutt Lynch's. Such a great place!!! read more

Came in here for drinks and dinner. Got the Newport wrap and it was excellent. Packed w flavor. Was delightful. Wasn't heavy. But glad because I also had tots with it which were so good. And onion rings are excellent as well. Service was great. Fast. Fun little place to hang out. No hard liquor. Only beer and wine. But was good. read more

This place is ideal for day drinking. The massive margaritas and beers are so fun, especially with the busy indoor/outdoor bar going on. The food is classic American (a lot of fried options), not bad but also nothing to write home about (you'll be too busy writing ab the 32 oz beer). The night scene here is also pretty decent. I think it could be a little hit or miss, but overall it's acceptable. read more

Mutt's is one of those places that gets it right every time. The energy is always high no matter the time of day. There's always great music, a game on, and a good excuse to get a giant schooner of beer. The staff is friendly even when it's slammed and somehow they keep it moving and make it look effortless.  Quick shoutout to Abel and the security team -- they keep things safe and respectful without killing the fun. Exactly the kind of presence you want at a high-energy spot like this. Also want to recognize the servers -- especially Courtney and Lindsey who always bring good vibes, hustle hard, and somehow stay cool under pressure.  Food-wise, it's way better than you'd expect for a beach bar. The menu's stacked with good food and there's something for everyone. I've never had a bad bite here. Huge portions, too. Bonus points for the people-watching and ocean view just outside the front door. This is the spot for day drinking, good friends, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on vacation -- even if you live 10 minutes away. read more

Mutt Lynch's is hands-down my go-to for day drinking in Newport! Whether I'm catching a game or just chilling with friends, it's always a blast. You're right by the beach, the vibe is fun, and the music keeps things lively. Plus, the drinks are generously served for the price. I definitely recommend stopping by with friends--always a good time. I've also been to the Bluffs location, and their trivia nights are a blast.
