Stopped by this billiards spot recently for lunch and was seriously impressed. The atmosphere is laid-back but still feels upscale enough for a night out with friends or drinks after work. Biggest highlight: they offer FREE billiards Monday-Friday until 4 PM with a $15 lunch purchase which is honestly one of the best deals around. Normally it's $15 per hour with a $20 food/beverage minimum. Service was attentive and friendly. There are full-size and bar sized tables and they recently redid the felt last week so everything rolls super smooth and plays great. You can tell they actually maintain the equipment instead of just throwing tables in a corner like some places do. On the downside, i wasn't a huge fan of my expresso martini which didn't actually have expresso in it. They use a coffee liquor so it tasted like diluted coffee. The food was on the pricier side and was just typical bar food/smaller proportions. read more

Boys club that smells like boys own it! You can smell the sewage in the restrooms and especially by the bar when the dishwasher is running. Extra yuck...don't make my drink when you're wearing dishwashing gloves. Sad because it could be way better! Space is great, location is cool, but the hygiene needs some TLC. read more

The Classic Q seems like the place to be for post-work drinks in Irvine. I'm not even sure if they run happy hour specials, but this bar was crowded and lively at 6pm on a Thursday. I was definitely expecting a more laid back atmosphere, but I'm not complaining. Overall, I thought the set up here was pretty good. Pool tables, plenty of TVs to catch sporting events, and a nice variety of both food and beer on the menu. Prices were a little higher than I'd like, but service was friendly and efficient. I would not be opposed to coming back at some point, though it probably wouldn't be my first option. read more

The Classic Q - Chicken Wrap * - Sports Bars Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Casual bar with pool tables and multiple tvs to watch the game. My friend treated us girls for a drink and shoot pool. We didn't have time so just ended up at the bar top having drinks and catching up. For a Sunday night it wasn't very busy. Food: we shared nachos and each of us had an espresso Martini that had a good amount of booze and was tasty. A good place for drinks and shooting pool and watching sports games read more

Stopped by the Classic Q after work since it was nearby. Upon walking in, it seemed like a very typical sports bar. The name seems fitting, very "classic" as it's nothing spectacular nor horrendous. The service is really dependent on the bartender. I was greeted by two people when I visited, a very kind woman and an overly-talkative man. The woman was great, she checked on my partner and I an appropriate amount of times and offered help when needed. On the other hand, the man would keep interrupting conversations between myself and my partner. I appreciate it when people can read the room. Back to a more positive note, the food and drinks were solid. The woman bartender did a great job on making drinks and offered to adjust ours if needed. We also got fries to snack on and the seasoning was solid. It was reminiscent of a Cajun seasoning. Overall, very okay experience. I find myself coming here more out of convenience rather than anything else read more

This is a sports bar. There are a lot of tvs so it may be a great place to watch a game. I came for lunch with coworkers. Food was ok but I was not impressed with anything that we ordered. Average fare. I don't know if we will be back read more

Took my mom here and we were both pleasantly surprised! The food was AMAZING and the drinks were on par. The gentleman bartender was very immersed in his work but still had time to converse with us. Would come back 100%! read more

THE Classic Q has the best bar food. Service and ambiance is always nice/chill. Got something new, the prime rib dip. Au jous, horseradish, so good. read more

Love the wings here. They are very crispy which is so hard to find but so delicious! This place gives a dive bar vibe. It gets pretty loud in here and there are 4 pool tables as well. read more

Under staffed and cranky attitude from the two that were there. Guests are not very attended to

Pleasantly surprised by this place! Lots of pool tables and TVs - it's great for large groups, especially if you're looking for somewhere to watch a sports game! Drinks are what you'd expect, but their apps are actually pretty good & ranch is delicious :) Service was a bit slow, but it didn't look like they had too many people working so guessing that's why. read more

Went back recently to watch football. Beer prices are outrageous. $8.50 for a Corona. That is insane. $18-$20 for breakfast. I spoke to a regualar who said some of the regulars have stopped coming in due to the continued price increases? read more

Stayed in Newport Beach for a 4th of July getaway trip, and found this establishment behind my hotel. A pleasant surprise!!! It's a great place to unwind, and watch some sports. Staff was friendly and attentive, especially Amy and Katlyn.....I kept it light with food orders, ordering mainly chips and salsa, but this will be my go-to bar whenever I make it to the OC....thank you, Classic Q!!! read more

This place makes the best BLT in Orange County! Always good and there are so many other fantastic option. Everyone can find something to love and the service is outstanding every time! read more

Good food, good service, good vibes and tons of tvs! Great place to watch the NFL. Voodoo ranger on tap!

I came in for a Fantasy Baseball draft. I arrived around 12:30 and the place was almost all mine. A nice play list from the 90's had me reminiscing about great memories and a few regrets. Melody (Mel) came over and announced she would be the server for our group. After going over what was on tap, I asked for the Space Dust IPA. It was new for me and I love trying different libations. Mei was very attentive throughout and she gave me some food recommendations later on. I opted for the Blackened Chicken Sandwich and it came with TONS of fries. I enjoyed it very much but I could not polish off the taters. All in all, a very nice Sunday afternoon was had by all the participants. I am sure our draft will be back next season, as we have now visited on successive years. read more

Good spot for sports watching. Large square bar with plenty of TVs and a large dining room as well. Fare is standard pub food but well done. Appears to be a place for Packers fans to go to watch out of town games. Convenient location, easy parking , would recommend read more

I like to stop in here for a quick drink sometimes. It's close by and convenient for me. It's your typical sports bar and gets the job done. I usually will get a martini or a vodka soda. I have ordered French fries from here and they were pretty good. The service is usually fast and friendly. They have pool tables and lots of tvs. They also have Tesla chargers outside which is convenient. read more

Came here on a Friday night. Chill spot with about 3 pool tables. I got a wrap here, decent portions. I couldn't finish it and ended up taking half home. Service is good, the bartender kept the drinks going. There's also TVs so you can catch a game here. I'd definitely come back for a chill night with friends read more

Came here last night after 10,we were hungry and this placed stopped serving food. The waitress was kind and mentioned Yard House is open with food. I ordered one Cosmo and my husband ordered a beer before we left to get food. The place is lively with a lot of pool tables and chalk boards above the bar naming all the beers they have in draft. read more

After being a routine visitor here to this bar, we were greeted with a "manager" with curly hair and glasses. This is the first time in the months that we've been coming here that she was very rude in asking our party to "be quiet" when playing a game of pool. After informing her that she could have asked the ladies in our party to be quiet in a more polite manner, she denied it and proceeded to be rude to us. As an individual with experience as a manager, she did not handle it in a professional manager and proceeded to walk away after we told her she could have handled it in a polite manner. This is solely constructive criticism to management, as they should not place individuals who react emotionally in management. read more

Service is impeccable: Paul was an absolute dear and our server Katie was absolutely fantastic. I like how unassuming this place is. It's tucked away in a random strip mall on MacArthur and it's easy to talk shop with associates or to simply catch up with friends before after work hours. The place is spacious and there are plenty of TVs and pool tables. I can't say anything about the food as we just ordered drinks and talked. That said, I was really impressed by the level of service at a billiards spot/sports bar. Thanks Paul (who says he's the bouncer, but I suspect he's being humble) and Katie (blonde server who is an absolute peach) for making this a lovely experience. I will certainly be back. read more

Great sports bar experience in Irvine. Lots of televisions, great patio and the food is good

Probably the worst sports bar I've ever been to. Waiters suck, food is mid, and environment feels weird. First of all, I'd like to remind all the waiters there that tips are earned but most importantly optional. It is not the customers job to pay you your salary. Me and my partner waited around 25 minutes to even talk with a waiter and that's only because a gentleman next to us (who also not had his order taken yet) had complained to the bar. The woman who did end up taking our order was sarcastic and you could tell she was faking the whole "nice person" attitude. We saw her three times and that was it. Clearly, our experience there was not tip worthy so no tip was left and when she took our paid receipt, she was showing everyone at the bar how we didn't tip and made all these faces while making direct eye contact with my partner. Her attitude was disgusting and belongs no where near customer service. We tried to like this bar since we've came here 3 times prior this and somehow it's always been a unpleasant or poor experience. Never coming back again. read more

I come in every once in a while to watch football and eat great wings! Servers are super nice and attentive and the bar is super lively. There's never too long of a wait for a pool table either! Great happy hour! read more

Even thought it was my 2nd happy hour of the day, I still enjoyed the food very much, especially the fries. Services were good. The only thing is that it was a bit too noisy for me. read more

Ok this place is awesome. I try to go weekly. Love watching college football there. Love going to happy hour there. Love their service there (Carrie the bartender:). Love the roast beef melt that you can switch the bread to a hoagie roll which turns it into a French Dip sandwich. And alas, love the drinks and the tater tots. See you Classic Q! read more

Revisited. They have done nothing with the cloth. The floor is buckling / table not level. There are douchbags all over. Idiots making fun of how I was playing because I was getting down and looking at the ball like any serious player would.. This place blows. Oh and I had to wait for an hour for that BS even though I was at the top of the list. If you're looking for a place for expensive drinks with your brosefs, this is the spot for you. If you want to play anything close to serious pool, go elsewhere. I will not be back unless I hear that they decide to put some of that drink money into their deteriorating tables / floors - it has been waaaayyy too long between resurfacing / leveling / etc. and really they need decent replacement tables, period. I guess they don't care and are ok with running a Newport version of Dave n busters but doesn't mean I have to like it.. que malo, que malo. read more

Nice place but not a fan of them forcing me to leave my drivers license in their possession. They may have their reasons but it's not secure, I mean, are they part of an ID theft ring or something? Holding on to it doesn't improve verification, but it sure increases my risk. it shows that they really could t give a rats ass about that. I'd be happy to leave a $100 bill if they're worried about me running out on them. is it to prevent bat fights or something? I really don't get it and I may return, but this aspect really makes me feel uncomfortable so will probably search for an alternative. read more

Put the chicken pesto sandwich on the menu gill time! It's delightful, add mozzarella.

I have been told about this place for a few years now. We finally came here tonight (Friday night). Such kind and friendly service from really nice people. The food was amazing. Was not expected it. The vibe was mellow, the place was full. We had cocktails and food. Thank you!!! read more

Our kickball team goes here often before/after games down the street... always found great service and bomb food (the giant salads are my personal favorite). Plenty of space to watch games on tv, play on the billiard tables, or sit on the nice patio. 10/10 read more
