This is a fine dive bar, cleaner than most. They do a great job continuously cleaning the tables as the guests leave and taking empties up to the bar. Very good crowd here, respectful of each other's space. We came to see a friend of a friend's band and they were pretty good. I think it would be fun to come here for St Patrick's Day. read more

My favorite bar. Great bartenders and awesome security staff! You bring food in from either the next door Mexican restaurant, the nearby taco stand or the occasional bbq truck that comes by. Customers are rad and the entertainment is top notch. My favorite is the karaoke on Thursday nights read more

The Blarney Stone - Joey the bartender! - Dive Bars Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

This place is very run down cater to certain people Do not follow Barr etiquette, and it smells. There was a time where I enjoyed this place very much but it has become a hole in the wall With no respect for their customers... read more

The Blarney Stone in Fountain Valley is the perfect spot for football. They have an excellent beer selection and consistently feature great live bands, ensuring a high-energy atmosphere. A huge thank you to the bartender BC! She was working during the Rams game and made watching it a blast with her fast, fun service and positive energy. If you get hungry, be sure to check out the taco stand close by--they have great food and make for a perfect late-night snack. As a bonus, there is lots of parking available, which is always a relief. Highly recommended for a guaranteed good time! read more

The price was higher than I expected for a dive bar $10 for a cran and vodka come on !!!!!!......... customers were welcoming ..... but to pay $40 for 4 short drinks and half was cranberry read more

This is a cool bar. Live music comes in on the weekend. You can order from the Mexican place next door and they'll bring your food to you in the bar! A few different craft beers mixed in and everyone there was pretty friendly. A very slight divy feel but I've def been to more divy. read more

My boyfriend had been coming to this dive bar since he was young, but this was just my second time to visit. Very cozy, with a very fascinating bar ambiance -- there's a collection of decorative pieces that was obviously garnered through the years, pool tables, wall TVs, great music, good lighting. The bartenders are all so nice and welcoming. You can also see that this place is considered a neighborhood bar -- my boyfriend talks about many nostalgic memories (talk about 20-30 years of coming here since he was young) and we got to chat with many who's been coming here for years as well. Definitely perfect for new customers who want to have a new hang out place. A live band was playing and they chatted with the guests after their set. The young couple next to us were very friendly too. Quite a warm place to go to. read more

5 Stars - Courtney is a Rockstar Bartender Courtney is hands down one of the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment I walked in, she made the atmosphere feel welcoming and upbeat. She's not only incredibly skilled behind the bar (seriously, her cocktails are perfectly balanced every time), but she's also attentive, fast, and personable. Even when the place got busy, she didn't miss a beat and always made sure everyone was taken care of. She remembered my drink order, checked in at the right times, and somehow managed to bring good vibes to the whole bar. If you're lucky enough to get Courtney as your bartender, you're in for a great night. Cheers to her professionalism and top tier service. read more

Misty is the absolute best ! Come thru This is not the place for everyone but if you are in the area check it out read more

Blarneys was fun. Didn't know they had karaoke Thursday night. It's like a hole in the wall joint but it's local and fun. I'd definitely go back read more

Only went once, but it was great. I'd heard about the Thursday night Kevin Karaoke and gave it a chance. Yep, great! The drinks were reasonably priced and pretty good. We'll be back. read more

Not to sound like an alcoholic but I come here pretty often with my friend because it has a small town community feel. Joey always remembers the kinds of drinks I like, makes them well, and he's always friendly! Plus, the prices are really good! What more does anyone want from their local dive spot? read more

Cheap beer! Service can be better in my opinion other than that it's a great spot to have a couple cold brews!

This is a great spot to grab a drink , play pool and chat with friends , environment is very nice and chill , they have karaoke nights , live music and Dj . All bar tenders are very friendly and great , it's a must to come a check the place !! read more

Performed with the band there last night and it was my birthday night as well. Bartender was pleasant and courteous. Didn't really deal with anybody else there. read more

Came into Blarney. One of my favorite Irish dive bars in OC. Misty was working a today and was friendly and cheerful. She asked for my ID which I guess is a new thing. It seems like all the bars are requiring this lately. Maybe some new law Great music. Good cocktails. Another great afternoon here with the locals. read more

Best tacos of my life!!!! The way the cheese melts so crispy to the taco -- yummmmmmm. Carne asada is the best kind!

God awful. Bartender just told us (mind you tables are 7 feet from bar) and one other customer was here "come to the bar with your ids and order and get your drinks cause I'm not doing this whole back and forth thing." Very impressive greeting and customer service. AVOID AT ALL COST read more

Dive Bar? Absolutely! Replete with local color and dingy floors. Service wasn't a highlight. Karaoke kids were fun & friendly. No food, but the occasional food truck will come by. read more

Joey is great bartender and the band was amazing. The next big hit to be discovered. The girl ainget was awesome so talented. Service was quick. read more

Best local watering hole. Bartenders are friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is great with pool, karaoke(Thursdays) and live bands(Saturday) to mix things up. read more

Damn this place got me again. My tab came out to be $43. I gave dude $50 cash but I forgot my card and dude charged my card too. I only came here because I was already on one and wanted a couple of more beers. It is my fault for forgetting my card but you would think they would have the decency to not take advantage of their drunk customers, since they're a place that opens at 8 am. They're known for this stuff. This is also why I've only come here 2 times in 2 years and I live right across the street. No mas. read more

Amazing service, lovely customers, all around memorable and perfect experience. Just what I was looking for.

On a spoof I will drop in to cool off and take the edge off. They do have a bitchen deal from 3-4 pm everything is half off. Yeah baby! That is what I said Half off! Lot's of parking, no cops but then again I have only gone in pretty early. Bartenders are pretty cool. LOVE the Kona on tab and that is just lovely. Real chill crowd and it appears that it has many locals but they are not territorial. In fact one dude let me have his sit. How about that for a nice random dude to just give you a sit. Pool table and a small stage and I look forward in checking out the nights with live bands. Bartender mention that they are cool if I order from the Mexican restaurant and eat it at the bar. No problem! Also food for thought they have cameras all over that parking lot. Just saying keep it simple! Over all a real relaxed atmosphere. Cards and cash are accepted. A good selection of spirits. read more

A bit off the beaten path but a fun place. It's definitely a dive bar. Crowd and all but the place feels sincere. It's not pretending to be any thing else. Good prices drinks. No kitchen but the Mexican restaurant next door will walk food over. Great food BTW. They have the usual karaoke, live music, DJ's on different nights. I'll be back. read more

Amazing DJ!!! Come and enjoy great music and great people!!! Best Live music in OC!!! read more

Best dive bar and great for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Supports our firemen and police.

Bartender mayra Discriminates through tips.If you don't give a big tip, you don't ever get your drink. throws long-time patriots out for something said years ago that has apologized many times for but keeps people there even if they have fought at the bar Several times Which is a complete liability to the owner if anything serious ever really happens., but because they tip well, she lets them back in cool bar the rest of the staff is amazing but Mayra dosent display The ability to do her job as a manager or bartender properly and her unfairness and Unwillingness to accept an apology could really hurt the overall of this Establishment read more

If you want to get harassed every 3 minutes trying to play pool by security this is your spot. We used to come here after work before 12 and the security always closes the second room with pool tables when we get there. the security told us to play our last game we tried to speed run it but eventually just called it after being pressed over 3 times. Yelling at us like the cops when we're just trying to have fun. Why do that when we put our own money in? Not like we're wasting anyones time or money. We used to love coming here it was our go to spot to wind down after a stressful shift. I'll also never forget when the bartender yelled across her bar offended about our conversation that had nothing to do with her. Very defensive over lemonade that you have to call me a child when I'm a grown woman. Get over yourself Blarney Stone!! read more

Love coming in the AM (Mon-Thurs) it's always a blast with Kris! One of the best bartenders out there!

Fun bar with karaoke on Thursdays and Myra is the best. She is attentive and takes care of her customers.

Great service and awesome vibe!!! Luv it not expensive at all happy hour every day. Can't get better then that
