    Mutt Lynches surprised me for food! I ordered the Pastrami Sandwich and boy was it good! The serving size was great, and it came with a choice of fries - I would say definitely go for Garlic Fires or Sweet Potato. I also paired this with a 32oz Japanese lager (and yes 32 oz. - wize of a hydroflask). The service was great and the food impressed me! Great location, and just remember they do check ID's prior to entering so bring that too! This place gets packed so be sure to get there early if you want a table!

    Mutts love everybody security and staff love them

    We love mutts. Greta people and great staff Todd Izzy are the best Mutts is the way to go

    Location wise this place deserves 5 stars because it's right on the boardwalk. There are seats available facing out the open air windows where you can grab a bite and/or drink and people watch the day away. Loved that so much. I'm sure this place is a blast at night too for watching big games or partying with groups. Food and service were more of a 3-4 star event though. The servers were super slow to bring over menus, take our orders, come back for refills, bring out our food, etc. It was a lot of neck craning and eye contact to get help. We ordered breakfast and portions were huge, but they got my order wrong, and the biscuits tasted like they were left in a fridge soaking up food smells. The rest of my tablemates were similarly bummed by the quality of the breakfast. Don't trash the place too badly though. This was one visit at the first hour of business on a sleepy day. Maybe Lunch and Dinner is far better, and maybe another breakfast visit could turn out to be fantastic too. If you're just looking for drinks by the beach, or want a high energy spot to watch the big game, you'll be very happy here.

    Its been awhile since we've been to one of our favorite taco stops and we left happy and full this time. The food is still great and our service this time was decent even though our girl upstairs only came by at the end of our dinner to give me the bill. Lots and lots of flies upstairs but not sure if there can be anything done to fix that. Good lunch today.

    California dreamin  burger

    Me and my mother went here for lunch It was our first time here I ordered the meatballs as an appetizer 10 out of 10. definitely will be coming back just for the meatballs.Mother had hamburger. California dreamin another 10 out of 10 good Quality meat. service was incredible since the moment me and my mother walked in.The reason why I will be putting this on my top five, it is Dog friendly and the ambience is Home away from home comfort . Great place to watch sports. Enjoy a nice beer, cocktail with your furry. so me and my mom will definitely be returning to check out their breakfast.

    Todd is the best, one of my favorite places in Newport when I visit. By far the best bar in Newport Beach

    Great vibes, quick service, and the drinks were on point. The music was AMAZING--definitely the spot if you're trying to turn tf up and have a good time.

    Todd is amazing. Great service and amazing people here. Great time with the crew here

    Amazing place! The best service from Todd, jasmine, and Nathan. Come here and get the best food and service. Amazing wings!

    Sweet potato fries

    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.

    Great service as always, Julie and Fernando are my favorite. Friendly smiles and attentiveness shines through with these too. Food is good and drinks are even better. Thanks guys!

    Best bar in Newport, fire drinks and a good atmosphere. Came here with a few friends on Saturday night and had the best time. Security and Todd rock

    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!

Big mistake…read more It was absolutely packed and standing room only, so we headed over to Wild Goose Tavern instead. Great decision. 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.

I will say the espresso martini was not 5 star, but other drinks were good. We tried the blood orange marg, the spicy strawberry marg, and the cowboy marg. My mom liked the blood orange but the second round did not taste the same as the first. A bit of a consistency issue but she nursed it and finished it. My favorite drink was the cowboy marg. 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 went to Lido Bottle Works for a girls' dinner last night and had the weirdest combination of…read moreAMAZING food and slightly off service. First, the food was seriously 10/10. 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.
