This place is so hot! As close as it is to Newport, it doesn't have the stuck-up Newport crowd. I love coming back to Sutra b/c they always have awesome djs who know how to mix music and cute bartenders who serve drinks right! I don't mind paying for drinks b/c you can get in free on the guestlist before 10:30. No cover, no hassle, no wait to dance the night away! I will definitely be coming back again!
Pros: Non-stop dancing, awesome drinks, free parking
Cons: none!

About 30 years ago i went to work for Doug at the Pierce Street as their DJ. I think i was the first one.
Although i havent been there in 30 years it remains today in my mind as the most fun i have ever had in a nite spot. I am currently working on the west coast and have every intention of visiting it on my way home. I hope it hasnt changed.

Shark Club is amazing. Seriously one of the most beautiful clubs you'll ever see. All the people with negative drama should forward their input to the higher ups at the club and I guarantee they will help you out.
I think everyone there is awesome. I guess there is always going to be more negative feedback than positive. Check out Saturday nights there. Very diverse and lots of fun.
Pros: Professional well trained security, down to earth management, gorgeous fast paced servers, and the best bar staff in so cal!!!
Cons: 5% trash who don't know how to behave in an upscale environment

I was recommended to Lillie by the folks over at HBCOOL, and I had a great first-time with my facial. She was so good to me, as I felt at peace and restful. I think I dozed, actually. I have told others about Lillie and I am in the process of booking both my wife and myself for the holidys!
Pros: Feeling so peaceful
Cons: none that I know of

Having just spent 3 years in Orange County going to Law School I think I'm pretty qualified to talk about pretentiousness. This bar is an oasis of ner-do-well liver warriors ironically juxtaposed to "uber-stuckup-look-at-me" Sutra (so called ultra lounge) right across the street. This place has 141 beers on tap including my sentimental favorites from Bend, Oregon based Dechutes brewery. The bathrooms look like they came straight from a war-torn refugee camp in Africa (assuming the girls' commode mirrors the guys'), the floor is covered in peanut shells crushed into the pavement under decades of beer soaked shoes. The walls are rarely visible behind the trailer-park-pack rat-decor of random signs, dusty animal heads, license plates and the like. A full third of the place is dedicated to their monument to indoor smoking regulation loopholes. The small roof openings in both ends of the westernmost third of the bar give the necessary "outdoor" classification for smokers to beat up their lungs along with their livers. Grab your shuffle puck and sign up early if you want your turn at dethroning any one of several local tournament players likely to crush you like the peanut shell you're standing on.
If you've been on the scene in the OC for any length of time, you know people can be pretty image obsessed and strangers tend to ask what you do for a living before asking your name. Goat Hill Tavern is THE dive of dive bars - not for the uninitiated or faint of heart and certainly not for Paris Hilton or your freshly minted girlfriend. I once lost a sufflepuck bet and had to eat one of the hard boiled eggs taken from its decades' old vinegar bath holding vessel behind the bar. If you want a night out with the boys or any excuse to take a break from the Newport Beach Peninsula crowd, head to the intersection of Harbor and Newport Blvds and you'll find the intersection between down-to-earth people and vast amounts of beer!
Pros: 141 beers on tap. Chance to drink like a Delta from the movie Animal House
Cons: Must be willing to drink like a Delta from the movie Animal House

Great dive bar...As with ANY bar you need to throw a decent tip when crowded...Tons of TV's there for watching NFL football! Gotta get there early if you want a seat. Attracts some of the loser crowd at times during the later hours of the night but all in all it's a great place to have some drinks with friends and catch the games.
Pros: Stiff Drinks & GREAT Sunday Breakfast!
Cons: A Little Crowded At Times

I just started going to Skosh Monahans a couple of months ago, and everytime I go I have a great time. I prefer to sit in the bar area because it has 5 TVs, so there is always a game on to watch. In fact, I went there last night, and the night before and had a great time both nights. The food is so delicious, and my server made me feel so welcome, and was so fun...I could eat there every night. The servers all get along great, and help eachtother take care of everyone in the restaurant. It seems all the girls really love their jobs, and they are very good at what they do. To top it off, the owner is always around helping the girls out when it gets busy, so the you can expect the good service to be consistent. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal, a relaxed atmosphere, and a great night out.
Pros: service, food, fun
Cons: little parking

A cheap bar with lots of pool tables and 75c pool. Some decent looking women there - a good place to go for beer and billiards - it's a dive bar, but if that's what you're looking for, it's a good dive bar.
Pros: Several good looking low-income women
Cons: redneckish
