The pool table is a big plus, especially since it is very kid friendly, which makes it easier to enjoy and relax while the kids have fun. The waitresses were attentive and set the vibe nicely, friendly and helpful. My only big drawback is no A/C in the summer. It was way too hot inside, around the pool table area. Overall, great drinks, good food, fun for families, but sneeds better cooling in the summer.

Gibroni's Pizza is a Detroit-style pizza spot in San Clemente with a lively bar atmosphere and…read morestrong weekend energy. Pros: This place has a really good overall vibe half restaurant, half bar which makes it feel more like a night-out spot than just a pizza place. The atmosphere was fun and energetic, especially with live music starting around 7pm on the Saturday I went. Staff were friendly, and the bar side added a nice social element if you're just hanging out with drinks. The pizza itself is a Detroit-style deep dish, and I got the pepperoni with hot honey. The quality was solid cheesy, thick, and filling but a bit more oily than expected. Still, the flavor was good and it felt like a heavy, satisfying meal. The beer selection was also good and paired well with the food. Parking is actually a strong plus here. There's a dedicated lot for customers that's free, which makes things easy if you're able to get a spot. Cons: The biggest downside is the menu structure--you have to order full pizzas only, with no slices or half-and-half options. That makes it harder to try multiple flavors. I wanted to try the mushroom truffle pizza but couldn't without committing to a full pie. Price is also on the higher side at around $26 for four pieces. Verdict: Overall a really solid spot with great vibes, good drinks, and quality pizza. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the mushroom truffle pizza next time.

Was super busy and loud, definitely a bar feel. I thought since it was crowded the food would be…read morelegit, sadly I was wrong. We ordered a pizza and the Opa Greek salad. On a positive note the staff was incredibly warm and kind. My family and I are foodies, my children eat everything, and of course pizza is a staple we all love. Unfortunately the pizza was not good. My son who's 8, even said it was too oily and neither kid finished a slice. My husband and I also got the Greek salad and were pretty surprised when they came with no lettuce. Generally I assume when I'm getting a salad there's lettuce in it so we didn't think to ask. My husband and I asked about it and were told it's traditional Greek. I can respect that but it's a pizza joint and I've been to many Greek restaurants and have never had a lettuceless salad. The waitress was a doll and gave us a plate of lettuce to add to it (at no charge). Wasn't in love with the dressing either, it was very acidic but lacked in flavor.

The food is not that great at all. We had a few items after golf, and no one really liked any of it. The price for drinks is extremely high. $9 for a Modelo! $12 for a rum and coke? They are pricing the regulars out. They don't have any consistency with the front of the house. The reason we were consistent patrons in the past was we knew our bartenders and waitresses.

New OC Tavern in San Clemente is a sprawling, high-energy sports bar and entertainment venue that…read morerecently underwent a transition to new management. It is known for its multi-functional layout, offering everything from a casual dining room and an outdoor patio with ocean views to a dedicated horse racing satellite wagering room and a game area with six pool tables. It is a classic, bustling sports bar with over 60 HD TVs. While some locals appreciate the "new and improved" layout and the addition of live music, others have noted a shift from a traditional family restaurant toward a more high-energy bar and nightclub atmosphere. The menu focuses on elevated pub grub and "Main Event" entrees, with large portions.

Love it here. First time visit. Celebrating a birthday lunch. We made reservations on Open Table…read more Easy and dependable. Reservations were definitely needed on a Saturday. Nick's hostess called me an hour before to confirm which was comforting. There is street parking which can be challenging as in any coastal community. I believe there is a close by public parking lot. The hostess was very welcoming and sat us right away. A.J. was an awesome waiter. He did not rush us and checked on us regularly and kept our water glasses full. Between the four of us we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, three fresh Mahi Mahi blackened fish sandwiches. There are many side choices. We had the very yummy crispy fries and the tomatoes with blue cheese - so good. The sandwich and side was a huge portion. I had to eat it deconstructed as it was piled high with blackened fish, coleslaw, tomato, onion rings, fresh micro greens, tartar sauce all on a fresh grilled brioche bun. The sliced prime rib French dip was a home-run. The roll was toasted yet soft. The prime rib tender and flavorful served with Au jus (good enough to eat with a spoon or sip from the bowl). AJ made sure we had plenty of ketchup and ranch for the fries and creamed horseradish for the dip sandwich. My father was given a dreamy chocolate cake and card signed by everyone to celebrate his birthday. The dreamy cake was moist filled with chocolate chips and covered it a to-die-for chocolate ganache. We had an 11:15 reservation and the large restaurant and bar was filled up by noon. There were many celebrations going on around our table. San Clemente is a great coastal town and Nick's is equally as wonderful.
