We got there a little before the game and had plenty of choices for seats. It definitely filled up as kickoff got closer, but with TVs everywhere, this place is pretty much built for watching sports. The food was surprisingly good, plenty of choices, good beer selection, and the service was excellent. Our waitresses were friendly and attentive even as the place got busier. The whole crowd had a fun energy, which made watching the World Cup even better. I've heard Wild Goose really cranks up at night with a younger crowd, but I haven't experienced that side of it yet. For a big sporting event, though, I'd absolutely come back. Great atmosphere, good food, cold beer, lots of TVs, and friendly service. Hard to ask for much more.

It was on the sweeter side but refreshing. For food. We had an assortment. Standouts were the steak dinner and onion rings! I would come back to try other things. The short rib grilled cheese was mid, but would be great to soak up alcohol. Cassidy was an excellent server, even as it got really busy for a UFC fight. Ambiance is definitely fun and unique. Generally, the experience was good. I would give it another shot to try other food and drinks.

We shared a bunch of things and there really wasn't a bad dish. The hummus with tomatoes and crispy bread was delicious, and we absolutely loved the meatballs in the slightly spicy curry sauce. We also had the pepper pasta, clams (one of my friends had never even tried clams and loved them!), cacio e pepe, and Mary's chicken. The chicken was Korean-style and came with kimchi green beans that somehow tasted a little like dill pickles -- in the best possible way. We loved them! The service, though, was just...odd. My bestie and I both ordered dirty martinis with blue cheese olives. Mine came with them, hers didn't, and neither martini was nearly dirty enough. Once we got some extra olive brine they were much better. But the funniest part was when we reminded our server that my friend was still missing her blue cheese olives. She came back with a skewer of them IN HER HAND and just handed it directly to my friend. No plate, no napkin, nothing. We all just looked at each other like, "Did that really just happen?" So overall, I'd absolutely come back because the food was THAT good. The kitchen gets an easy 5 stars from me. If the service had been at the same level, this would have been a five-star experience all around. For this visit, 4 stars -- but definitely worth going for the food!

The whole experience was incredibly disappointing. Between waiting to be seated, waiting to be…read moreserved, and waiting for the food, we spent about an hour waiting -- the food alone took around 40 minutes. The chicken sandwich was actually good, but unfortunately that was the only highlight. We ordered the special chorizo hash, and it was really bad. There was barely any chorizo -- probably less than one sausage in the entire dish -- and the rest was just a huge amount of large-cut potatoes. The potatoes weren't crispy, and one of the eggs wasn't cooked properly. The cocktail was even worse. I ordered the Dragon Coconut cocktail, and it tasted like a milkshake with a strong alcohol aftertaste. Really unpleasant. Waiting an hour would have been understandable if the food and drinks were worth it, but they absolutely weren't. Very disappointing experience.

Kindness. I often end my posts with the words: "Be kind to yourself and everyone around you. Kindness is free." Lately, though, I've wondered if kindness is becoming harder to find. We see broken-down cars on busy roads and people drive past. We see others struggling and often look away. Yet every now and then, we witness a random act of kindness that reminds us who we can be. A few months ago in Newport Beach, traffic was heavy when an elderly Asian woman found herself stranded in the middle of the road. Her car had stopped, traffic was backing up, and she looked frightened and overwhelmed. Then I saw Abel, a bouncer and barback from Mutts, step out of his vehicle without hesitation. While someone moved his car, he walked over to help her. Soon his nephew joined him, and together they pushed that car for two blocks until it was safely out of traffic. They didn't wait for applause. They didn't stay for a thank you. They simply got back into their vehicle and drove away. I recognized Abel because I've seen him working at Mutts, where I occasionally have breakfast. That day, however, I didn't see a bouncer or a barback. I saw a man whose character was every bit as strong as he appeared. His simple act of kindness made my day. It reminded me that kindness isn't free--it is priceless. It costs time, effort, compassion, and the willingness to help a stranger when no one is watching. Abel, if you ever read this, thank you. The woman you helped was looking for you afterward, but you didn't do it for gratitude. You did it because you saw someone who needed help. Your parents raised a good man, and your nephew is learning from a good example. In a world that often feels divided, moments like these remind us what humanity is truly about: caring for one another, being selfless, and choosing kindness when it's easier to keep driving. Thank you, Abel. We need more people like you. Be kind to yourself and everyone around you. Kindness is priceless. I wanted to share this but of information because I love Mutts and the great people they have in their staff. read more

Went here for fourth of July this past weekend and the guy managing the line was extremely RUDE & RACIST. He was a white skinny male - maybe look at who you're hiring to manage the line. We got in line and we are already halfway through. Bunch of people behind us. Im just talking to my friends and BF waiting to get in when this guy comes up and tells my bf that he "left the line, came back & is now not allowed in" mind u, me & my group were there the ENTIRE time. & funny we were the only asians in line at the time & my bf is half hispanic. AND whats even more funny? The girl group behind us all spoke up and told that racist male that we've been here this whole time. We dont even know them and they stood up for us. We left the line to not cause problems but i went back to say my piece bc i wasn't gonna let my bf get disrespected like that & that racist white man had nothin to say because he knows he's in the wrong lmao. Funny they had an incident last year on the fourth too where they were being racist & calling people beaners. Maybe double check who you're hiring to manage the line. I've been out in Newport many times before and never have experienced something like this. We did nothing wrong. read more

Mutts is a staple in Newport. We all know they have humongoloid schooners that are so cold that they leave your beer with a frosties floating at the top (good thing,) but what seems to go unnoticed is the subtle radnesses of this bar. A/C? nah, they've got sweet windows that are open all the time and facing the beach. Bros and Bro-hos? Yep, but it's cool, because there's also a plethora of old surf dudes, baseball cap wearing frat types, and the almost homeless. And everyone gets along just peachy in harmony. That just doesn't seem to happen elsewhere... The marquee? Always adorned with a witty nugget of hilarity. Food? What o you expect, its bar food! It's salty and tasty, and you can hit it with some Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce, which I've mentioned before, I love seeing in OC. Check it out if you haven't before, but have a few extra bucks for the cab ride home, or a few extra hours for a pierside nap before you get behind a wheel. GREAT PLACE TO DAY DRINK! read more

Had breakfast here over the weekend! It was a good thing we went early, as it got crowded. It was funny to see some of the tables with "reserved" signs for locals. Its a bit loud inside, but bright and airy. two of us had breakfast burritos which were very good. The eggs benedict was good, but the hollandaise sauce was a little bland. Muffin & eggs cooked perfectly and was tasty. If you feel like a treat, try to cinnamon roll pancakes. I had a bit and it was sooo good. Schooners of ice cold beer hit the spot, and my friend loved his bloody marys! Our other friend had mimosa most of the morning, which he said were good as well. Our server, Amy, was very good, & on top of everything-even with it so busy. She juggled multiple tables on a demanding morning with a big smile. We look forward to coming after the crowds die down in fall. I usually make it a point to comment on the host/hostess as well, but a bartender sat us this time. He was really nice. read more

Wow! This place is unbelievably disgusting. After enjoying a few hours on a Duffey, we came over to Mutt Lynch's to grab a drink. I walked into the bar thinking my friends were behind me. After ordering a drink for me and another, I could here commotion at the front. I walk down and hear this douchebag bouncer yelling at my friends, calling them stupid fat b**ches, cows, any degrading name he could think of. He denied one of our friends from going in cause she was "drunk" which was total BS. All that was asked of him was to come tell me so we could leave. He did nothing and than turned into a psycho becoming a degrading POS. I can't believe this place allows someone to work here and treat customers like that. But do they really care? Obviously not since there are several reviews about this guys and nothing done. read more

Mutt Lynch's is the perfect spot for a fun, laid-back day by the beach! The atmosphere inside is lively and welcoming, with huge windows that open right up to the strand, making it a fantastic spot for people-watching. You really can just kick back with a drink and enjoy the view as the world goes by! We ordered wings, and they were fantastic - crispy, flavorful, and just what we were looking for! The prices are super reasonable, which was a pleasant surprise given the beachside location. The staff is incredibly friendly and really adds to the fun vibe. Whether you're looking for a casual spot to grab some drinks or just hang out with friends, Mutt Lynch's is definitely the place to be. Can't wait to come back! read more

We came here to watch the sunset as we had a few cocktails. It was about 60% full, but took almost 10 minutes to get served at our table. It would have been faster to order at the bar. The beer menu brought out was out dated and many selections were not available, the waitress informed us they were in the process of making new ones. We ordered the garlic fries. They were delicious at first, but eventually you could see a puddle of oil in the bottom of the plate that made it not very appetizing. I wish they had drained them before plating them. Our schooner of beer was tasty, but we decided to move on from here. This is great location & worth checking out, but you may want to order from the bar if it looks busy. read more

Seriously fuck this place and the people who work there , long story short only people in the bathroom with me were white or should I say Caucasian not only were they racially profiling me but they seen me drop my wallet and took all my shit including my id which really wouldn't do anything for them ... once I asked the workers to speak to a manager they immediately covered one another and they told me to speak to a bartender who didn't even know what's going on in the establishment but is in charge let alone barely even spoke when I talked to him, with this happening good luck to the owners. You guys clearly care more about selling alcohol GOOD LUCK. Clearly this place is ran by a bunch of privilege people. read more

The young security guard with the tattoos that looks like he is on steroids belongs in jail and not in a bar as a security guard. He threatened to drag us out of the bar after one of my friends had her head down on the table. After asking why we were being kicked out he responded "you don't want to go there bitch" and said if we didn't leave immediately he would force us out. After speaking with the manager who was less than helpful he responded "maybe she shouldn't have had her head down." It's sad that a security guard can call a group of young girls bitches and threaten to "drags them out for no reason and even more sad that it is not taken seriously from he management. read more

I've been coming to Mutts for over a decade, and I can confidently say it's one of the best spots on the peninsula. The food is consistently top-notch, whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and the beer (get the schooner )selection never disappoints. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is second to none, with its open layout and stunning ocean views that make every visit feel special.

Dining at Mutt Lynch's was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to Courtney, our exceptional waitress.

McKayla was absolutely amazing! The bar was packed and super busy, but she still made us feel like we were a priority the entire time. She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly, even while juggling what seemed like a million things at once. Our drinks were always taken care of, she checked in on us without being overbearing, and somehow kept such a positive attitude despite how crazy it was. It's rare to get service that good at a busy beach bar. McKayla seriously made our experience and is the kind of server that makes you want to come back. Definitely ask for her if you go! read more

Don't even waste your time with these disrespectful ass bouncers. All we wanted to do was get inside the bar on a Thursday night. They didn't even want to give me the name of the "security" who was "guarding" the line. Asked every single one of the bouncers for the manager. Dumbass men who have a brain the size of a hamsters couldn't even give me a name. On top of that, they were letting drunk men slide in the bar who were being super misogynistic and racist while we were waiting in line. Super embarrassing. Do better mutts read more

I love coming here for breakfast. Every time I go in I always sit at the bar because the bartender knows my order. She knows I like coffee with creamer and that I always get french toast. I have been coming here for breakfast for a while and Courtney has always been a personification of customer service. The bar top is nice and quiet in the morning which makes it great to talk to the bartenders and to other people as well. I'm glad I have a place where I can go and be treated like I'm at home and get hugs on the way out. read more

We were really disappointed with our experience at this bar in Newport Beach. My two friends and I were denied entry despite having valid Nevada IDs. The bouncer claimed they were fake after comparing them to another guest's, even though ours were clearly valid vertical formats. They even asked us to show personal info on our phones to confirm our birthdates, which felt completely invasive. After being super rude, the staff just dismissed us and told us to 'enjoy' somewhere else. We won't be coming back. read more

The family run place is excellent. We almost didn't go due to other reviews and am glad we ignored…read moreit. It is definitely a local place. We are from the east coast and they treated us like family. The food was really good and the bartender Charlie was extremely friendly. I would highly recommend.

We came to The Place in CDM on a Sunday at 1:30 p.m. to watch the Eagles game. With the Chargers…read moreand Raiders also playing, I expected it to be a busy day and some TV competition. The place is small but decent, with a side room, pool table, outdoor area, and a fair number of TVs. However, it lacks the flow and atmosphere of a larger sports bar. The food was average: my medium burger arrived overcooked and dry, and the $3 upcharge for sweet potato fries felt steep. The bigger issue was that the TVs froze for about 30+ minutes, leaving us watching the game on our phones. I understand technical problems happen, but the response felt lacking. The manager or owner seemed stressed while trying to fix the issue, but there was little communication or customer recovery. A quick acknowledgment or small gesture would have helped - free beer or fries goes a long way toward recovering after your tech fumble. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but between the average food, TV problems, and limited response, I'd probably choose another place next time.

It's was really busy and crowded and she managed to take good care of us. We went on a Saturday night and our steak and Brussels were yummy! The staff were really accommodating as I was between wheelchair and crutches. Thanks for a great time!

Came with friends but I am so glad that I did not bring my husband, he would have been thoroughly let down. Would have been nice to have complimentary bread but even that comes at a price. I took a pic of my filet mignon close up just to make my food look bigger so people could not see how skimpy the sides were. My own failure to believe that I wasn't just ripped off. Addition server was so rude, when asked if we could get separate checks he got defensive and said "Store policy is that we have to close out the entire check and cannot do individual checks." Then he said, I will go get the manager".... um yes that would be best since you cannot help us and we have 4 families eating.
