Horrible and totally unprofessional!!! Cliff and Brandi are the worst, and they hide a lot of scandal behind the scenes!!! Cliff and Brandi kicked me out of this bar as soon as they heard I was a survivor of the Cook's Corner biker bar mass shooting!!!! Cliff said he had to 86 me because he called his friend, Rhonda, the manager at Cook's Corner. he was advised that I'm a liar!! So he came back after talking with her and kicked me out just for sharing my story!!!! Recently, I just found out that one of my friends who survived with me, while we were in the bar together, just committed suicide due to not getting the right PTSD /TRAUMA support, as promised by the bar!!! What kind of business would do this to any person??? I've been coming to this bar for years with all the other owners, but this guy Cliff and his girlfriend Brandi just did nothing!!! Brandi even speaks about her abuse with domestic violence with her ex, but she obviously can't stick up for a survivor who was just coming in to sing karaoke!!!! wow!!! so shocked. my family said that it's not the same anymore. lots of drugs and alcoholics come out of this place. cliff is pathetic, disgusting, and unapologetic for his actions. I can only hope that nothing like this would ever happen to him or his family!!! what comes around goes around! shame on Cliff and Brandi for no compassion, and being unprofessional as a business owner!!! Ewwwww. read more

Visited this place while having dinner across the street. Was told for additonal drinks on a Sat nite to go to "OUR PLACE" since el ranchito closses at 11pm on a SAT! CRAZY. Anyways- walking in to the the place you get a "homey" and quaint feeling. Was immediately greeted by the bartender, I believe her name was Gia?- she was awesome. Immediately asked me what I would like and she provded me with great service! Drinks were great and not pricey. Now the patrons, im assuming regulars? were plain vulgar- this is for the older gentlemen, if i can call them that! I understand its a bar but when older men are yelling obsenities and profanity-just makes a woman feel uncomfortable. Specially when they creep on you and start being belligerent and invading my space. WIth that said- I would have voice my concerns to the bar owner, but dont know who the owner is, instead I told the older server lady walking around about it and she plained brushed it off. She was rude about it and seemed to think it was perfectly normal to have those comments made about a woman. Only time I woule EVER RETURN HERE would be with a group of friends (male included) to enjoy an evening if that of good old fun. Until then- I will be taking my business elsewhere where I am respected. read more

LOVE this place. I have met a huge mix of people and personalities at Our Place. THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT. My BF and I go there about once a week. We even sing there. I have never felt comfortable to sing in public before, but we are among friends. The owners are terrific and greet us with hugs. They are friendly and helpful. They know we are opening a business close to them and are spreading the word. Oh, and the food at Our Place is worth mentioning again and again. We had the potato soup and the steak skewers. OMG is all I can say. Delicious. Who knew? The chef has a lot of experience. For lighter dining try the nachos. Ask for something special. You will get it. Heavy pours. Watch out. One drink and I am singing. Two and I am up on stage singing. Three... well, that is time to go home. But really good people and good pours and good food... well, just a good place. Warm and homey, too. Young and older people. Not just for those over 40. I have met artists and writers and singers... some even famous. Anyway, try it out. You will become a regular. It's fun. Lake Forest needs more fun places like this. read more

If I could give this place all the stars I would! I've been coming here for almost three years now, and this place feels like home to me. The atmosphere is always inviting, and the bartenders are simply the best in the business. But I have to give special recognition to Crystal--she is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible people I've ever met. Her kindness, politeness, and genuine warmth set her apart in every way. She doesn't just serve drinks--she makes you feel like family. It's rare to meet someone who consistently brightens your experience every single time, and Crystal does just that. Kat is super laid-back and easy to get along with, and when Brandi is here, she's always a joy to be around. The KJ, John, is a close friend, and we love to talk all kinds of smack, but it's all in good fun--we've got a bond that only a place like this can foster. Every visit is a great experience, and Crystal is a big reason for that. I can't recommend this spot enough! I truly love the people I have met at this bar. read more

Please don't let Debbi's review keep you from this gem of a spot. My husband and I were at the bar one this date. What Debbi fails to mention is that it was a packed house. Yes, the bartender always ask customers to step out of the service well, so servers can get in and pick up their orders. She is the only one making drinks for the entire place. As for the comment about talking to the manager. Anyone who knows this place knows there isn't a manager. There is an owner, Tammy and SHE is amazing. On this night she was behind the bar washing glasses and serving customers. Did I mention, the place was packed!!! WE LOVE Our Place. Been coming here for years and will continue to be loyal guests! read more

We stopped in to have a cold beer and some hot wings. We got so much more. "Our Place" has a great atmosphere that you can feel the minute you walk in. There was very cool art on the walls from some local artists and we were greeted by the owners Sally and Tammy almost immediately. The hot wings were great and our glasses were never empty! The food was so good in fact that we also decided to try the shrimp scampi which was amazing!! Everyone there was laid back and other patrons we just as welcoming as the owners. They have some themed events through out the week that we will checking out. Bring the family, a date or your best friend......you will be impressed!!! read more

I went in on Saturday night. It was pretty busy and they had a really good band. I forgot the name of the band though. Seemed like a fun crowd. I was alone so I sat at the bar. The bartender working was really nice to talk to. I forgot her name. I do know she is Greek, because corrected me when I asked if she was Cuban. The food was very tasty but took too long (least it was hot when I got it). Like I said it was busy so maybe it was because of that. Fun place everyone seemed friendly but I only had an encounter with the bartender. But the people there seemed nice. I would go there again. This time I will bring friends to dance with. read more

This place is a dump. Total dive.... Sign outside says...."one classy place". Lol....yah whatever...believe me when I say their opinion of classy and my opinion of classy are two different things... After stopping in for a quick drink.....I quickly noticed how disgusting everything about this place was. I wouldn't even entertain the thought of eating here... If you hang out at this place you must either be down on your luck or just plain stupid. Yuck....keep driving........ read more

I am not one for writing reviews but after visiting "Our Place" I decided to create a Yelp account to let people know how great this place is. Food was great, people were friendly. I came for 1 beer and some wings but ended up staying a few hrs which included trying their shrimp scampi. Good God! it was awesome. I will be making it "My Place" to hang out. The only thing that could make this place better is if it were within walking distance from my house. read more

It's cozy, it's chill, and it's everything you want in a neighborhood hangout. Cheers to 'Our Place' for always delivering a top-notch experience! read more

LOVE this place! The owners are warm and friendly. Customer service is GREAT. Food is REALLY good. I had no idea they even served food and then tried (my mouth is actually watering as I type this) steak filet skewers and possibly the best potato soup I have ever tasted. Drinks are stiff. Be prepared. One of theirs equals two anywhere else. OMG! I was not prepared and then I got up and sang. They love the karaoke!! Me too. Who knew? read more

I've been to Our Place several times for karaoke and live music. This week I met clients there for lunch twice and had two of the best hamburgers I've had at a restaurant in a long time. The staff is amazing, knowledgeable and attentive. The owner, Cliff, is a very nice man and clearly takes pride in providing a relaxing environment for people to blow off steam and eat some great food. read more

If you are looking for a hidden gem in Lake Forest this is THE PLACE! Great live music. The owners, and staff make everyone feel welcome. Was there last night again. The band was the DuVal Brothers. This place was packed, and it felt that you were surrounded by family. Plenty of parking, warm friendly staff, great food (Bacon wrapped Scallops, Nachos, Burgers) and great drinks. read more

My first and last visit to Our Place. The bar maid was gruff. After one set of music and we paid over $59.00 for two bad drinks and two appetizers, she made us give up our seats to two old men! The band said we shouldnt leave. We were dancing and they said we need your girls! They didnt have a lot of business and now i see why! Overpriced and bad service! read more

This is my favorite bar!! The owners, Sally and Tammy are the very best! Honestly! they are good people and are so dedicated to this place! The people are fun, and you are always in for a good time! it is the official "Cheers" of lake forest! I highly suggest checking it out. its nothing fancy, just a bunch of friends having a good time, all the time. read more

This place is top notch! The owner is amazingly attentive. The service and the food is outstanding and the whole vibe here is absolutely genuine. The entertainment is wonderful as well. We found this pace through Yelp and it's probably the best hidden secret in Orange County! Good job guys. Customers for life! read more

My friends and I have been going to our place every tuesday night for karaoke for months. Tonight my friends and I were disrespected by your server Bruce, very unprofessional. My friends and I will never go back to Our place and I will make sure others do not as well. read more
