We have gone to our place off and on or years, through covI'd we tried to Support as we could as with other local spots. The place got a a new owner a while back and has really done well with the place. Entertainment is great and such a variety. The food is amazing better than ever and the prices are beyond fair. We go to other spots and get the check and I almost fall Over. Service has been great as well seeing Crystal and Kat mostly.really nice to go somewhere and get great service and food at a fair price So hard to find these days read more

This place is awesome! Great food, beers, and drinks. There's lots of live music and karaoke. There is always something fun going on here! read more

Great place to hang on a weekend. Summer they have bands outside. Both the food and drinks are good and not overpriced!!

I have no idea what has happening here. Food quality has changed and service has gotten slower. I squeezed the grease out of the potato skins. Well as much as I could. Ordered a second drink never received it but yet it was on my bill. Their op beef dip is still great. Will only do carry out when I'm craving the beef dip. Can we say Bar Rescue is needed! From storage wars to bar rescue! Hahaha read more

I love this place. One of my favorite persons is LeeAnn. She always has a smile on her face and happy to see you. There are several employees who are good but not friendly and have a tendency to have their backs to you when tending bar but LeeAnn is always on point. So is Crystal. She also is very enjoyable and friendly with a great smile. read more

Not only is the live music great here, but warm vibes with outstandingly amazing food! I especially love the Seared Scallops, which is incredibly delicious with a creamy sauce with bacon & mushroom. Not your typical "bar" food! read more

My favorite place to go. I have my own restaurant and club on main street in Huntington Beach and this is my favorite place to go hang out as a patron. I love being there with Clifford and the rest of the staff and guest! I love coming here and every time I'm there the whole place feels like one big family! I'm also grew up in Iowa and being at Our Place reminds me of being at one many bars that I grew up around there. It's just a great vibe and atmosphere overall. I came out during the Super Bowl and the ribs were hands down the best ribs that I'd ever had in California. During there shrimp boil the food and energy in the room was phenomenal. Like I said I have my own place in Huntington Beach and I can go pretty much anywhere and everybody knows who I am down there, but a lot of those places their only nice to me because of who I am However Our Place is my favorite place of them all and the only place that I go when I'm not working. It's the place where I can go and just be another Joe and meet amazing genuine authentic people and feel like I'm back home in Iowa and I find that incredibly valuable especially because I'm constantly surrounded by people who want something for me. The feeling I get when I go in there is priceless! Much love Clifford & Brandy! Keep doing your thing! read more

I popped in here for lunch and ordered the Italian sandwich special. Sandwich is 10 bucks and you can add a side of fries for an additional four dollars. I wasn't hungry so I only went for the sandwich and it was very tasty. This seems like a local bar and lunch hangout spot. The service was very friendly, and I'd come back again to visit Our Place. read more

Just came here to have a drink. Met the owner and Crystal the bartender. She was an absolute delight. Great food, not your ordinary bar food, it was amazing. The people were friendly and an overall welcoming vide. This is my go to place from now on read more

This place redeemed it self from the last time I was here. It was a fun time. Good drinks. Easy bar food whatever the tater tots deliciousness was amazing. Birthday girl was our bartender she was slammed but still made us great drinks. Pretty much a biker bar pretty crowded but it was Friday! read more

Awesome service and great people!! Come down and see the people. They are the best. Love it!

Not very memorable. The drinks were alright. May need to try it again, but the staff was very good and friendly.

Fun karaoke! We had great service in a fun atmosphere. Tasty food and drinks at a reasonable price. Our waitress Crystal was great!

We had the fish and chips with a few hazy beers. They were excellent, crunchy and lightly batterd. A little warm in the place but the bartender was good. No the place was clean. read more

Always fun vibes, good drinks. Live music and drag Queen bingo are always awesome. Easy to park and enough space for you and a group of friends. Football Sunday is also fun with game day specials. read more

We finally got to go back to Our Place yesterday for live entertainment 1 to 4. We love the Honey Bees and they put on a great show! The seating was out side and the staff worked so hard to serve a over crowded group. So impressed with the service and food. Looking forward to more afternoons watching live music! read more

We are so happy Clifford took over and revamped the menu. He admits to being a foodie and it shows in the quality food he is serving. The wait staff are wonderful and prompt. And they preempt you when you want to refill. It's like a real family place where everyone knows each other except with fantastic bands. There's also other fun events like drag queen bingo which was a hoot. Let's keep visiting this establishment so that Clifford can keep it going. read more

I love this place! The food is great! It does get very busy on a Friday night because the live music is always wonderful and they have dancing! It a lot of fun, the people are wonderful! I highly recommend it. I go often!!! read more

Great local Live Karaoke spot. People are friendly and community oriented. The ambiance could be spruced up a bit, but overall enjoyable as long as you taper your expectations. read more

This place is simply amazing. We got two Draft stella beer and one Calamari appetizer. We loved it. Kat the bartender was wonderful to us. I love it atmosphere, highly recommended! read more

I can't say enough about the food here. This place is always busy with locals and this is a sign of really Good food. I have tried many items from the carne Torta to the filet skewers to simple dishes like a burger or taquitos. The food is fresh and the ingredients are not the ordinary. Fantastic daily deals and evening entertainment. read more

I came here for pub trivia night with my daughter and we sat on the patio where Tori was our server. Trivia was fun as hell (Angie puts on a great trivia night) and Tori was very attentive and very personable in spite of being quite busy. Will be back for more pub trivia! read more

I dont know that I have ever felt so comfortable in a bar, other than my old stomping grounds of Silky Sullivans, as I did here. Funny, I used to compare that bar to Cheers, and right on the window here is a reference to Cheers. I will say what took me here was a picture from Kelly U of the wings. I always search for the perfect wings and never find them. Until now. They were SO good! Came in here Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised it wasnt over crowded, due to it being Football Sunday, etc. Found a couple seats at the bar, which had super cute Halloween seat covers on them. We were greeted by the bartender, but we werent sure what we wanted yet. Once we ordered, a Bacardi and Diet and a Malibu and Coke, Sally said she hadnt seen us before, and introduced herself, and asked our names. She was very friendly and super attentive the entire time we were there. I dont recall Fish and Chips being on the menu, but I saw a picture of them on Yelp so I asked. They have them, and she let us know there are a ton of "secret menu" items they serve but arent listed. The buffalo wings, in my opinion, were PERFECT. Perfect amount of sauce, great flavor, just amazing. Exactly what Ive been craving for months. The Fish and Chips were SO good. Cooked perfectly, not dry, so much flavor... Just, WOW! Served with Cocktail Sauce and Tarter Sauce. I used the cocktail sauce on my fries, it was really good... and used the tarter sauce on the fish. I ended up with three Bacardi and Diets, all very well poured, and the third extra strong once it was established I wasnt the one driving. This is a place I can see myself becoming a regular at. Amazing, friendly service and everything was delicious. Its definitely more of a dive-y bar with an older crowd, which is what I prefer. They have music I believe 5 nights a week, Taco and Karaoke Tuesdays, always something fun... I cant wait to go back! read more

Great local watering hole! Excellent food and service. Staff and owner could not be any nicer. Best Tacos Tuesday in town with lots of offerings Ava good quality ingredients. Great live music on weekends & other fun events. Highly recommended! read more

My review is a combination of different aspects. My 4 star aspect: If you're age 50+, smoke, and would like a local place to drink during the middle of the day then you'll love this place. It'll be hard not to feel welcomed by the locals there. That's just from what I observe. Definitely the typical watering hole dive bar that you see in movies but for older folk. My 1 star aspect: The place smells like it's made of cigarettes'. I get it's a bar but it was overwhelming for me and my wife. The waiter asked us what we wanted to drink, we gave our order and to our relief, after a couple of minutes went by she had forgotten our order so we didn't feel bad about picking up and leaving otherwise we'd have to chug our first round of drinks to get out of there. If you're in your 20s-40s, this bar most likely won't be for you or at least what you're used to. Maybe my perspective will change when I'm in my mid 50s. read more

How did I not visit this place sooner? I am in love with this spot. We arrived around 730ish on a Saturday with the intention to have a few drinks and eat. I wasn't expecting the menu to be that exciting but the food offered was a very nice selection. I went with the salmon with veggies and a fully loaded baked potato. The salmon was perfect, the veggies were seasoned so well and the potato..well the bacon made it especially since it was good bacon. I had a few long islands that were made perfect. My husband had the short ribs which he also enjoyed very much. After a full stomach we sat back sipped on our drinks and listened to the amazing band that was playing. The service was impeccable and the owner was gracious and welcoming. So glad I didn't waste another weekend trying to find a good spot to have a drink and relax. read more

Great atmosphere, lovely and attentive bartenders, (Hi LeAnn!), delightful patrons, excellent entertainment for all demographic of patrons. Great prices. What to say about Chef Brian?! Whatever he posts as the daily special is what you should order. And also, order anything and everything else on his menu. It's all ridiculous!!! Ridiculously good! *Not responsible for over indulging in Chef Brian's food as a result of this post!* read more

I love this place. Heavy pours. Good food.... And great people. The patrons, the staff, everyone makes you feel welcome. Don't come here to grab a quick bite and run. Come here to sit back, enjoy your drink and meet people. We come during the day. Never been here at night, but this is our favorite day drinking spot. read more

Our Place Lake Forest is a great neighborhood Bar/Restaurant. The staff is very friendly and they take good care of the customers. I host an Open Mic there on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday every Month. It is always Taco Tuesday when I am there. I get the Beria Tacos and they are delicious. Our Place has great music on many other nights. They also have comedy nights and are great supporters of the LGBTQ community. The owner cliff is a great guy and does an awesome job of running the place. I highly recommend Our Place. read more

Okay so I don't know where to begin on this one... I really dislike writing negative reviews, like it has to be kinda crazy for me to want to do anything but a really positive review. I have been to this place a few times in the past but it had been at least 5 years. I knew it tended to have a much older clientele base, but everyone was nice enough even with their "locals or regulars only" kind of attitude. Skip forward to tonight... With spring break and our kids out of town the girl and I decided to try Trivia night. We sat down on the patio plenty of room under the tent. Trivia set up was really nice we loved the projector to add visual effects to the aspect of the game and the music was good too. Our server was a blond young lady I forget her name, sorry but she was very polite and friendly and helped us with everything we asked for. She was attentive and even though both beers I asked for blew their kegs she was super chill about it and followed up on everything. I asked about the nacho size and she was very knowledgeable and helpful about everything. I wish I had gotten the pork over the chicken but not her fault because she clearly said she didn't eat pork. Also my girl really liked her burger special and I had a bite and had to admit it was very good. Okay so here is where things just went down hill faster then an avalanche. I have lived in Lake Forest or Irvine my entire life, I haven't seen or worse SMELLED so many people smoking cigarettes since that bar attached to the back side of Denny's on the opposite side of El Toro 25 years ago where that Chinese Buffet is now. Like does everyone who still smokes ciggs just like have an online thread about lets meet up here to make sure not only we die of lung cancer but everyone else does too even outside... I couldn't smell my food only a Vegas Casino level of smoke... Then on top of this there is multiple people 25 feet away in the ally smoking weed, So this lovely combo of smoke is just floating in with little kids at the table next to us... Then no joke the other brunette server drops off drinks to another table and as she is walking back into the bar she pulls out an Epen from her short shorts and hits the vape in front of everyone... I am all about people doing whatever they want when it doesn't effect others, but maybe keep it at home, or be slightly more discrete. Okay and BY FAR the worst part of the night was the group of Aholes in the back yelling and heckling the poor new Trivia girl Dez. She was such a sweetheart and obviously nervous going in front of everyone on the mic for the first time. Apparently a lot of these regulars/Aholes are used to someone else and this person quit or wasn't there, and so these people made it their mission to make this poor young girl uncomfortable. Their Mic was shitty and people couldn't hear her and so they were heckling and making her feel even worse, just being rude and terrible in general. The worst most sickening thing was that one of the regulars made their team name "Oh by the way I suck balls" So that this poor young shy girl had to say their team name every time... We were extremely upset, uncomfortable and will never come back here again. I am very sorry to your kind and hard working kitchen staff, and sorry for our server, but yea this place needs to be shut down... I could have very easily taken pictures of their bathroom or kitchen/back area which was totally open to the public but just wanted to evacuate ASAP. Dirty doesn't really do it more like filthy... I seriously felt like I was being Punked or on a Gordan Ramsay Kitchen Nightmares Episode... I tried to speak to a manager but it was just the bartender. He was very polite but I could fully tell there is nothing he had any power to do to make any change. Shame on the owners this is just a zero out of 5 if not for most of your staff.. EDIT After reading other reviews I also forgot to add it was AWFUL to have people with dogs randomly on long leashes just letting their dogs come up to us at our table. It was beyond rude and uncomfortable, especially when another dog started barking at a dog right behind us while the Trivia event was underway... Zero control of their Bar, this place is basically a hang out for their friends I guess.. read more

Nice location supporting to local musicians . Friendly crowd and attentive bartenders/waitresses.

I can't say enough about Our Place. It's owned by a great couple and truly has a family feel. You can tell they have lots of "regulars" who love to go there to unwind with friends. My favorite thing about OP though is how awesome it is for DOGS!! They have a wonderful porch where dogs are more than welcome. They will bring you water, carrot sticks, even a hamburger made just for our four legged buddies!! It's nothing fancy, just a great local watering hole perfect to chill and have some fun. They also have live music pretty often! If you're in the area I would absolutely go check it out. Definitely support this local business. -Cheers read more

I mostly come here for trivia every Thursday. It's one of the funnest trivia formats I've experienced, with lots of creative team names that are hilarious (ours included). The only occasional negative is understaffing, but service has been spectacular for months now. 9/10 times the food is great, a level up from "bar food". It's a bit indulgent though, like, a lotta things on the menu are tasty, and I save my cheat days for the weekend. As a bonus, trivia is out in the patio area (weather permitting) where my friends can smoke and bring their dogs. All around a great time! TBH I'm not a fan of dogs or smoking, but what am I gonna do, bitch about other people having fun? The crowd in general is super friendly. Met a lot of good people here. In the year that I've been frequenting this establishment, I've only seen one drama moment. Not like the other bar a mile away that has security on staff on a weekday. I've also had a great time doing karaoke here. And the one comedy night I went to was done very well, funny AF with easy minimums. TL;DR Don't come here unless you're looking for a rockin' good time with good food, drinks and people. read more

Good drinks , polite staff , but I gotta say children and dogs have no place in a licensed bar. Why the bartender let a patron bring in barking dogs and a family with children into this adult only watering hole I don't know ! Check please ! read more

Fist may I start by saying how family oriented and the staff make you feel !that being said I've been going there now for about a year. I have met many good friends. They have made me feel like one of the family! I having invited my daughter to come with me for breakfast and lunch made for a great day! The entertainment is as good as I've seen in Orange County with the benefit of a small venue. Best kept secret in lake forest! Thank you! read more

Love this place. Food is great. Staff is great. Drinks are priced right. Clifford is the shit. Will be a customer for life.

Love this place. Great neighborhood feel. Good spot for a beer and few tunes. Lively crowds. Only downside is that sometimes service can be a bit hit and miss and their tap beer's served to warm. read more

Went for karaoke night on Wednesday and it was so fun! Drinks are reasonabley priced as well. Everyone seems like locals so if you want to go to a bar to get to know your community this is the place. Workers was amazing too and everyone had great vibes overall read more

Why can't these people produce a proper Michelada. I got Dustin's of Tajin. Yeah I yhink they pour light and have snotty servers.

Why do so many people think these bad reviews are funny? I'm happy to see people leave honest reviews because I just saved myself some money
