http://www.orchidrestaurant.us This lovely space caters to a Middle Eastern crowd. With elaborate chandeliers and Romanesque columns, the Orchid has a palatial vibe. Though it's primarily an eatery, the joint sports a small bar with a nice selection of rums, tequilas and liqueurs, as well as wines. There is also a modest selection of beers, including Heineken and Amstel Light. If you plan on checking this place out on a Friday night, get there early. The bar's karaoke stage and small dance floor can get crowded, and lines aren't uncommon. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
Despite the Celtic name, Patrick's has more of a saloon-like aesthetic. A dimly lit room, this spot features a wooden bar top and several booths flanked by wooden banisters and a small pool hall housing four tables. There's a large selection of liquors, along with and the standard domestics on tap and some pseudo-crafty numbers like that ever-delicious wheat ale, Shock Top. This spot has a cash-friendly approach to doing business, so unless you're planning on spending more than $20 on the card, bring your greenback stack, Jack.

http://www.piercestreetonline.com Pierce Street Annex. A fish out of water in the SoCal Scene. While trendy clubs and lounges have come and gone, this spacious sports bar has stood for decades, holding fast to its identity as an unpretentious community hangout. This place is by no means a place for glitz and glam. BUT--if you want to fry your own bratwurst on the outside grill, shoot some pool, or perhaps shake a leg with some indigenous OC folk to top 40 on an ancient dance floor, you're in the right place. Random feature: offers free WiFi! Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.quattrocaffe.com Don't be put off by its shopping-mall location; this restaurant can stand on its own. The mid-priced Italian trattoria transcends its surroundings with a bright, wood-paneled décor; patio area; and flavorful cuisine to match. The pasta, naturally, is a perennial favorite, especially the to-die-for linguine vongole with clams, parsley, white wine and garlic. The meat secondi dishes are generous entrées with surprising additions. The Pollo alla Birra, sautéed chicken breast with prosciutto and fontina cheese, goes over the top with scrumptious asiago mashed potatoes. The wine and champagne list is a knockout; only in OC will you have bottles of Cristal and Krug in the mall. You can splurge on clothes and fine dining in one shot.

http://www.skoshmonahans.com With its pictures of Irish castles and cocktail waitresses in tiny plaid skirts, Skosh Monahan's fits the description of an Irish pub.

http://www.sutraoc.com On weekend nights, Sutra is a typical club scene of hot bods rubbing to thumping beats, bathed with strobe lights, and soaked in booze. But there's another face to the restaurant-a quieter, more intimate side for those more interested in cuddling up with their honey, and less in picking up a new one. Feed each other things creatively cooked. Sip drinks immaculately mixed. Enjoy the romance. Thank us later. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.tikibaroc.com Located just minutes from Triangle Square is the Tiki Bar, an aptly named joint that doubles as a music venue. The building is divided into three spacious sections which include a stage, bar area with two pool tables and a smoking patio.

http://www.tinlizziesaloon.com With origins dating back to the 1950s, Tin Lizzie Saloon is Orange County's premier gay bar, where locals and out-of-towners come to mingle in a lively atmosphere and indulge in fine wine and spirits. Open daily, the swanky, red-hued Victorian saloon is located in the heart of SoBeCa (South on Bristol Entertainment, Culture and Arts) in Costa Mesa. Realizing the potential of the Tin Lizzie Saloon space, The Memphis Group owners acquired the property after a 10-yeaer courtship. As part of its ongoing support of the revitalization and development of SoBeCa, the group revamped the interior under the guidance of investor and local bar owner Mike Connely. The saloon's plush, new décor features red pin-and-tuck banquettes with brass foot rails, velvet-embossed "flocked" wallpaper, ornate gold sconces, velvet drapes and hardwood floors. An intriguing display of avant-garde photography decorates the walls. Considered a gay oasis in conservative OC's urban sprawl, Tin Lizzie Saloon serves up a wide selection of premium wines by the glass as well as signature martinis. A pool table and a vast selection of music on a satellite jukebox provide lively entertainment. With a new investment of energy and resources, Tin Lizzie Saloon continues its long tradition of offering a spirited and welcoming atmosphere for OC's gay community.

http://www.yardhouse.com It can be argued the Yardhouse franchise is among the original gastropubs, with its emphasis on carefully crafted cuisine and unique mixed drinks.
