    Great personal pizzas.
    Eric R.

    Great experience. We went for lunch and loved the pizza and house made meatballs. They have plenty of deals for every day of the week. Comfortable seating and great service. They have a side area that is more like restaurant seating or an area that is more like a bar. They have darts and pool too. We love the computer jukebox thing, so fun.

    This is a huge bar. They seem to have weekday specials. When we went the special was 1/2 priced large pizza. We ordered a 16" Margherita Pizza, a pretzel, and a Caesar salad with the chicken on the side. It was all good. Although the Margherita pizza looked more like just a cheese pizza. We enjoyed it though. There were not a lot of people in the restaurant because it was a weekday. It was dark and had accent lighting which made it feel romantic.

    Stag bar is the place to be at night when at Newport Beach. Super fun atmosphere and delish food. Also a big space. There are bouncers to check IDs as well at night time. The short rib pizza was soooo phenomenal I couldn't believe it. The salad was delish, I loved all the toppings and how they packed the croutons separately so they wouldn't get soggy. Definitely a fun place to eat and drink at when by the beach.

    Chicken wings

    OK everyone thinks a bar/restaurant near the beach is gonna have mediocre food at expensive prices, right? Hah, not at this place, which makes amazing food and sometimes offers it at special values that you just don't typically find in Newport Beach. We strolled in on a Wednesday, when they have all day happy hour. That means my Companion gets a decent chardonnay at $5, I get six wings for $5, any of the personal pizzas for only $8 and the "dirty tater tots" (cheese sauce, brisket, jalapenos) for only $8. This is the oldest bar in Orange County, and has a lot of character. Our bartender/server Christina was so helpful, kind, knowledgeable about the menu and a real plus for the business. She said other specials are also amazing such as a burger and fries for $7 on Thursday. I have included pictures of all the menus and special offerings and I am telling you we will not be visiting Newport again without stopping in at the Stag!

    Drunken pizza
    Gina G.

    The food was awesome! We loved everything. The dirty tots are enough for four. The drunken pizza is like pot roast on pizza. Very rich and filling. Mai tai was also great. Service was fine. Loud place. Pool tables were packed.

    I love this place! The décor and overall vibe are right up my alley. Kelly, the bartender, is incredibly friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Such a fun spot to hang out!

    This bar was super fun and lively but was never overly crowded which was nice! Services was just as you'd expect from a busy bar. Good, but nothing extraordinary. Lots of TV's with all the sports. Full bar. Their food menu was good as well! Really decent prices and lots of different options. There was a parking lot right outside, but there was also plenty of parking along the beach. This bar was very central to the entire beach area, so walking was never an issue.

    Pizza and meatballs
    Abbie C.

    WOW. Everything we ordered was incredible, the beef meatballs were packed with flavor, the pizza was perfection, and the onion rings were crispy and addictive. Seriously could not miss with a single item. On top of that, our server was AMAZING! She was super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. This place absolutely nailed it and we can't wait to come back!

    Found this neighborhood bar on a Thursday night and thought we'd try it after seeing an "Award Winning Pizza" on Yelp and their website. It was quiet when we walked in, with 2 guys playing pool, 1 guy sitting at the very nice, long bar, and 3 people occupying two intimates booths near the pool tables. The bar keeper greeted us and confirmed we could sit where we liked. The large room seemed split and the other side had more tables and the open kitchen so we went to that side. We were greeted quickly with menus and the offer of water to start. When those came Hubs went with black coffee and I with a pint of Angry Orchard. Cider is SO GOOD right out of the keg and I rarely pass it up. I saw the option of some sandwiches being "protein style" so I ordered the Chicken Pesto Club, no bun, just in "salad" form. Hubs went with a simple Canadian Bacon personal pizza. This wasn't on the menu, but the ingredients were listed on the couple of the signature pizzas so it was "no problem." Before she left the table, Hubs reminded her of the cream for his coffee. She put the food order in, but I could see and hear confusion in the kitchen about the cream she was requesting. Finally it was understood it was needed for coffee, so cold milk was retrieved from the fridge. My food came about 10 mins later. Oddly, I also noticed as my order came up, a pizza was going INTO the oven. About 10 minutes later our server came over to tell us there was miscommunication about the pizza and the kitchen made a BBQ Chicken pizza instead of Canadian Bacon. She offered the free pizza and said the correct one was being made. Since this is more of a "CC" pizza than a Hubs pizza, I accepted it. It was yummy. The crust is thin, which I usually don't go for, but it was very tasty. As for my Chicken Pesto Club - it was definitely yummy, but served in a plastic basket with paper lining, so a challenge to eat as a salad. I'm pretty sure some of that wet and torn paper was ingested after trying to cut up the ingredients salad style. It IS supposed to be a sandwich, so that challenge was all mine. More fiber! lol Another 12 minutes and Hub's fresh, hot CB pizza arrived and - after excitedly scorching his mouth with molten cheese - released a satisfied, guttural 'Oooooh yeeesssss!' He happy! After I finished my food I was asked if I wanted another pint. I declined. When the check came I asked on behalf of Hubs for a top off of his coffee. A few minutes later our serv returned to explain it would be awhile since a fresh pot had to be brewed and was that ok. Yes, not a problem. She left and we wondered if he was never checked on or offered a refill because she knew it would mean brewing a fresh pot???? Anywho, about another 10 mins later and a fresh, hot cup arrived. About this time, a few more people came in to eat, drink and play pool. But it was never loud or unpleasant. It IS a sports bar, so we thought it would be a bit more raucously filled. The manager - we assume - swung past to ask if I wanted another pint and check on us which we appreciated. One final, interesting note, the men's room had an attendant keeping things tidy and "some sort of assortment of goods in a box" as reported by Hub. The ladies room was NOT attended. Overall it was a yummy dinner and made Hubs happy. Cheers! "CC"

    Breakfast Pizza
    Naomi F.

    Breakfast pizza and beer! 10/10 recommend! Great way to start your weekend! Thanks stag!

    Cheese pizza, crunchy
    kris r.

    Ordered some pizza's for take out for the family and the Pizzas were delicious! The cheese to sauce ratio is perfect for the cheese pie. The cheese was great, had some char on the crust! The pepperoni pizza had a good crunch in the dough and the pep had a nice kick when dunked in ranch. The dough was great and had a good undercarriage, with a nice crunch bite after bite. If you're looking for a different pizza place then the delivery guys, give Stag Bar + Kitchen pizza a try, you'll enjoy it. Tell them Kris w/a K sent ya.

    Philly Cheesesteak
    Erika T.

    Oldest bar in OC ... hidden gem of a restaurant. Great thin crust pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads and breakfast burritos (and steak and eggs). The chicken ceasar is always my go to, perfectly prepared and oh so tasty. Dirty tots with Jalapeño cheese and shredded braised short ribs is da bomb! Garlic knots and Philly Cheesesteak are also winners. Great service, perfect spot to meet up with friends or family*. Mimosas on the weekend if that's your thing. Great tunes and lots of sporting events to watch...darts, pool, a little something for everyone. *Adults only, must be 21.

    Nachos with Brisket

    I went here with my cousins after a morning cruise on a Duffy at the harbor. We were a bit tipsy and looking for something good to eat. Outside looks really trendy and like a fun place to eat and drink. We arrived around 1pm and found a seat near the bar. With our close proximity to the bar, you would assume we would received attentive service. Unfortunately, we must have been invisible with how dark it is inside. Our server seems to be spread thin with her seemingly running around the entire place and avoiding eye contact at all cost. We had to flag her down multiple times to order food, drinks, ask for boxes. Food was mediocre. Buffalo pizza was soooo salty our taste buds were trashed for the rest of the meal. Overall, it looked like people were enjoying their time drinking. I wouldn't come back to eat next time.

    The Bungalow Huntington Beach - inside dance floor

    I want to preface by saying that my first experience with The Bungalow was in January 2022 at the…read moreSanta Monica location and didn't go well for various reasons, so this redo at the location in Huntington Beach along the PCH was a significant improvement, but I still think the experience could've been better. My friend and I got in line to come here after getting a first round of drinks at neighboring Treehouse on PCH during our girls' night out. The wait was approximately an hour at midnight on a Saturday leaving us with about another hour to party after entering. I got my friend and I our second round of drinks. She wanted the Strawberry Letter 23, and I decided to go with the Floral Laurel. The drinks were surprisingly really good for stand-up bar cocktails. We took them outside to chill on the patio, soak up some heat from the fire pit, and people watch. The vibes were solid, and this is exactly the sort of venue I would come to with my friends back home in San Francisco. The reason I deducted a star from my rating is that security and the crowd could be better. Interactions with the bouncers inside the building were hostile and unfriendly. In San Francisco, the bouncers/security are typically nice and helpful, but here they were rude and brusque. No issues with the bartender who served us though. Overall mixed experience, but I'd come again for the fun beach party scene.

    I went here last night and tried to order a drink at the outside bar. I'm not sure what this…read morebartender's issue was with serving me. I was waiting behind two other guys on the right side of the bar, and he seemed to think I was cutting in line. He told me I'd be at the back because he serves from his right to left, and I was standing on his left. Fine--but even after that, I waited while he served people who arrived after me. When he finished, he started helping a couple of people in the middle of the bar instead of me. It honestly felt like he was avoiding me until I kept eyeing him and he finally came back to ask what I wanted. Really frustrating experience and poor service. Bartender was white with a full beard. Full arm tattoo sleeve on his right and half forearm sleeve on his left. probably racist imo
