Summer was awesome best bartender!! Highly recommend, she made our night! Super kind and great service

I came to mutts and had the best experience because of Summer, she was so kind and attentive and genuinely made our time so much better.

always such a good time here! great atmosphere, good music, and the staff is always welcoming. avel is definitely part of the reason I enjoy coming here -- great at what he does and always make the experience fun :) highly recommend the boneless wings, sooo fire! def one of my favorite spots to stop by when I'm out in Newport! read more

This place sucks. I paid $80 to play touch tunes with a huge party and they turned on the Canada vs Qatar World Cup match in Spanish.

Shoutout to Avel best bouncer out there! Always a friendly face to see in Newport! Mutts is the best place with service and always helpful.

Always have the best time at Mutt Lynch's! The atmosphere is so fun and the staff is always amazing, but especially have to shout out Avel. He is seriously the best and always makes us feel so welcomed and taken care of every time we come in. He's so friendly and genuinely goes out of his way to make sure everyone is having a good and safe night. My friends and I come here all the time and he's definitely a huge part of why we love it so much. The service is always great here and all the other workers make you feel so welcome as well. 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

Good food and the beers come out fast. Awesome service and staff. Security keeps everyone safe. read more

I'm from San Diego, but I frequently make it down to Newport on the weekends. Everytime I'm at mutt's I've had the best server, Marisa! She is so outgoing, kind, and provides top tier service. If you're ever at Mutt's I can only hope you get seated in Marisa's section, she's the best!!!! 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

Food was ok but the service was very slow and we had to keep calling the workers for help/ food/ the bill/ more drinks. And when we walked in, we were not sure if you needed to wait to be seated or just seat yourself. Turns out, it's a seat yourself place which made standing there waiting for help awkward. 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

What an experience! The ToddFather at security always delivers. Colder beer in town and the best wings with the best staff! Love me some mutts!!! read more

The food was plentiful, and the bar-style menu had something for everyone. Our favorites were the pizza, chicken strips, and fish and chips! The waitress was amazing--attentive, friendly, always checking in, keeping refills coming, and even greeting our additional guests when they arrived late. We were shocked at how busy it was for 2:00 PM on a Friday, but luckily we snagged a table. We even got a view! The place was loud, energetic, and full of people clearly having a blast! read more

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

My family and I come here every week over the summer because we love not only the food but the customer service from our waitress Juli. Not only does she go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need but so does all the other employees. When we walk in we are greeted with kindness and look forward to coming back every week! read more

To preface, my friends and I love coming to this place, we patronize Mutts more than the average bear because of obvious reasons. That being said, my friends and I were very disappointed to be met with inappropriate comments about the amount of food we ordered while there today. No reason we should be made to feel a way about the food we are ordering. What a shame. read more

I recently returned to Newport Beach for a quick trip back from my studies at Juilliard (I'm earning my masters in dance). My platonic step sister invited me to join her at Mutt Lynch's and though I've never been I had heard of it. My first impression was shock and awe. So many smoke shows! I'm used to the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn, but the vibe had me shaking my bod- what's more is these giant chalices of beer! If there's anything I love more than interpretive dance, it's beer! I can out drink most heterosexual men, that's one thing people don't expect from me. Anyway, I think I'll be a regular after college. I have a red eye back to JFK in a few minutes. Courtney is my favorite waitress! Bye bye. 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

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

LOVE mutt lynch's? The best bar to go to around here! Made me feel so special for my birthday! Any day they treat me amazing. Service is the best and the staff are AMAZING!!! 10/10 reccomend go there immediately!!! Best ambience and experience i've ever had! read more

Mutts is by far the best bar in Newport, but having Marisa as your server takes it to another level!! 10/10 service, 10/10 personality, and 10/10 smile :) 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

Marisa was one of the best servers I've ever had. She was attentive and super knowledgeable! Recommended me food options that she enjoyed and always had a new drink going for me without even asking. Was a great experience and will be back! Perfect location as well. read more

Had a very enjoyable experience at Mutt Lynch's this past weekend. The vibe was very fun and everyone was very friendly and was having a good time. Not to mention my server Marisa made my experience that much better. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and her recommendations were spot on. Not only dia she ensure our drinks were always full, but she also went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Marisa again! read more

Love going here day or night. Marisa always did a fantastic job giving me my ice cold schooners asap. Definitely recommend ‼

Israel was incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous throughout our visit. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and his friendly attitude really stood out.
