First time back in over a year and I think it's time I put Capri into the roster of bars I keep in the rotation. It's a bit small, so I'd imagine it gets pretty packed during Friday nights and the weekend. I've only ever been during random weeknights, so I personally have no complaints regarding space. However, I really dig the living room vibe right when you walk in. It's a local neighborhood bar (almost dive bar but not quite) and it's got exactly that type of local bar charm you'd expect to find in a place like this. During my most recent visit I finally got the chance to try out their food! I was able to share a patty melt and a meatloaf with a group of people I met a last week. Well, just one of the dudes in their group but either way, the food was bangin'. I'm a self-proclaimed patty melt connoisseur and theirs is actually so good. Meatloaf was also really good. Drinks wise they offer some of the coldest beer from what I've seen through Professional Beer Inspector on Instagram. However, I'm not a beer guy but the drinks here are definitely strong AND more importantly, very reasonably priced. I was pleasantly surprised when it came time to pay. Seriously, a bar that serves reasonably priced food and drinks is such a rare gem. Additionally, they have daily specials too which is awesome. Service was friendly, the vibes here (so far) have been awesome, and I really enjoy the outdoor patio area. It's nice to sit outside and catch a nice buzz. Kinda wish they had speakers outside though, at least for the TV. read more

Want to go to a racist bar in OC? Then look no further than Capri!!!! Where you walk in and if you're not white, people will give you evil looks and make you feel as if you're not wanted there. Sat down at the bar and bartenders ignored us for 15 minutes before we walked out and left. I didn't know West Virginia vibes were in Orange but, sadly it's at Capri. I've never felt so uncomfortable at a bar. This place used to be cool. I hadn't visited in 2-3 years and it's completely changed negatively. If you're brown (like me), do yourself a favor and don't go there! read more

This place is amazing. The bartender Vee really makes amazing drinks. She has the "Vee Special". Ask for it when you come in. The food here is good too. Great cold drinks! read more

Hear me out. This bar is on track to ruin itself for its loyal customer base. This place has a great location, a nice setup, and the pool tables are amazing. The bartenders are super nice and do the absolute best anyone could do, but they are often stressed out--likely from a lack of staffing support. BUT HERE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM NOW: My friends, my family, and tons of us love coming here for a little weekday getaway or on weekends for special occasions. Honestly, we are there A LOT. One of the main reasons is the food. This is a divey bar. There are no special drinks, not a huge selection, and no frills. AND THAT'S OKAY! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's a local watering hole and we love it. But the thing that keeps people coming back is the AMAZING KITCHEN. The menu, the prices... this was actually one of the best places to eat appetizers or full dinner entrees in Orange, EVEN if you don't drink! A true gem in that way. The portions, the quality, the prices, and tons to choose from. But now, they've cut down the menu and raised the prices. Listen, I KNOW prices are going to be raised with the cost of ingredients going up, and even diesel prices driving everything up. But the prices have gone up a lot. I know that prices going up is partially more of a result of this presidency but.. More so, it's just sad to see the menu shrink. That was easily one of this bar's biggest strengths. I just actually loved this bar, so I'm sad. I had just been recommending it a lot more to friends lately, but now I'm going to look dumb when they get there and see the nice, big, reasonable menu I talked about is gone. Now it's just another dive bar. It's really losing what made it so, so special. Maybe there can be a happy medium? Work with a budget analyst and analyze loss risk. Maybe raise prices but keep the favorite items somewhere in between. Maybe raise the prices somewhat but keep all the menu items. or maybe just take the most expensive to make items off the menu but dont change prices on the others. Its difficult but the food menu really was the WOW factor of this place. read more

The food here is excellent. They have a fabulous chef who brings excellent multistage cooking to this legendary restaurant. All the bartenders are quick to acknowledge new customers and get your drinks right away. This place feels fun when you walk in. Its got a good layout and dynamic. Menu Specials, patio section, lots of tables inside , and lots of TVs. So glad I started coming here. 5 stars. read more

I'm boujee, so this isn't a place I'd normally frequent, but I found myself at Capri celebrating a friend's birthday. 5 stars for the lovely blonde bartender with an exceptional pour and 3 stars for the divey atmosphere. No table service available so we waited at the bar forever to get drinks. Billiard tables, karaoke on Fridays, TVs playing college football and the Dodgers, and plenty of parking! We only had chicken wings, and they were decent, so I can't fairly comment on the food. read more

The service in here sucks! Been coming here for at least 30 years. There were two owners and two barmaids working. Finally got up and left. read more

Breakfasts used to be good but now they flat out suck. Cook can't even toast bread, keep potatoes hot, serve a fresh cooked piece of ham. Bathrooms are continuously filthy, out of paper, and the barmaid (not Vi) has the personality of a rail road spike. Totally Sucks ! read more

Everything On the MENU!! Listing my favorites would be a copy of the menu. I'd show a pic of my Eggs Benedict but I ate it first. Don't sleep on this place. Five stars. Thanks Chantele read more

Went here because I was craving onion rings. They have really good onions rings with ranch and they were a great price. Staff was extremely friendly. I had a headache and the lights were low even though it's was 9:30 am. I enjoyed my onion rings, being inside during the rain and a nice ambiance. Will be back read more

4% credit card fee is a turn off. Certain areas of the bar are uncomfortably cold to sit in.

Great service all around, Gaby & Chantelle especially are amazing bartenders! Fantastic food try the Mac and cheese, great new owners always taking care of everyone, always a good time at Capri where everyone be! read more

Came here with my boyfriend because of the Professional Beer Inspector on Instagram. This place had one of the coldest beers featured in his reviews, so we had to check it out. As soon as we walked in, the music was legit. No horrible new songs--just classics and rock 'n' roll. Everyone was having a great time inside. You could tell they were locals having real conversations. The crowd was more mature, which was chill, but everyone was still welcoming and friendly. We arrived right before it got too packed for Karaoke Night (Fridays). We met one of the bartenders, Dylan, and he was phenomenal. He took his time with our orders and personally introduced himself with a handshake. The group next to us randomly invited us to sit with them. They were friendly people. Another bartender, Nissa, was even singing behind the bar. While I was waiting in line to place an order, the manager, Rudy, came up to me and introduced himself. He welcomed us, thanked us for coming in, and told us to let him know if we needed anything. He was very friendly. The music was bumping, but it wasn't too loud. Someone was celebrating a birthday, but everyone was vibing together. The food was decent, the front patio was great, and yes, the beer was ice cold. If you're looking for a place with a more genuine crowd, friendly people, and none of the pretentious attitude you find at some Orange County bars, this place is a breath of fresh air. Hit this place up. They're awesome. read more

Chantelle is the best waitress and server. Give her a raise! She handled a full bar and full tables like no problem.

Cool spot just wish the owner cared more. Has two diamond tables that aren't taking care of. Things are mismanaged with the employees. Customers can feel a sense of chaos at times with how the place is ran. read more

We stumbled upon Capri recently while in the area. I wouldn't actually call this place a grill, but I wouldn't call it a dive bar either. Maybe somewhere in between. They have tables but don't expect table service. More of a place to come with friends, have a couple drinks and try whatever special is on the menu. We did enjoy our bartender. read more

Absolutely great experience here at Capri Bar & Grill. The moment I arrived was very welcoming, and the energy level was to the roof. The vibe was definitely there the second you walk in. From Live DJ by Dana to the pool table, man, this place was lit! Thank you, Dana, for the invitation to this exciting establishment. Couldn't miss the opportunity. Besides the great vibes and decorations of this place, let's talk about the food and drinks. I started off with Food: 1. Wings(Buffalo)- Served with carrots & and celery. 2. Grilled Calamari Skewers. 3. BBQ Pork Riblets. Drink: 1. Michelada Cocktail /w Modelo x4. The food was delicious, and the presentation is on point. The wings were perfectly sauce. The BBQ Pork Riblets was juicy and tender. The Grill Calamari was freshly grill and man, was so mouth watering. Wish I could have try many more food but the night was still young. Always next time. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY! read more

The karaoke hosted by Jelly was the best I've experienced. The service from the bartender Nissa was exceptional. The two star review comes from the interaction and experience I had with the bartender/bar back named Dylan. He was so rude and condescending and confrontational. His demeanor was off-putting to the whole group I was with. I've never had such a negative experience with an employee behind the bar. Does he hate his job? Does he just hate people? Not sure, but his decorum left a sour taste with me that will be difficult to remove. Sad because it was an easy 5/5 stars otherwise for this Friday night karaoke spot! read more

If you want ice cold beers on draft, this is the place for you. The bar food is pretty tasty and you must try their daily specials. The place could use a good cleaning and may be some investment on getting chairs reupholstered but it is worth giving it a try. read more

Service was great - Kayla is a fantastic host. We need more like her in this world. She was great with details and memory of what was ordered whether it was a drink or a meal. read more

Capri Bar & Grill is an absolute gem! The owner has had this business for 30+ years and the locals and regulars absolutely adore him. He makes his bar almost a home away from home. They've made some recent renovations with the front bar area and are making plans to get more outdoor space. I love what they are doing to spruce up their business with talks of a new menu from Robert Duvall and his team, partnerships with other local businesses, and special events catered to the community! Located between Chapman University and the Honda Center, this is not only a chill place to grab drinks but to also grab some good burgers, sandwiches, and fish. Their drinks are at discounted prices and they have a pretty large selection of seltzers and beers on tap. Definitely worth a visit and can't wait to be a part of their future events. read more

Out of a $57.00 dollar bill gave the waitress $80.00 asked for change had to find her to ask for my change she blonde with black glasses took her almost 10 min then when I had to get up to let you know then you bring the change you deserve the $3.00 tip for throwing the bill on the table I have been coming here for over 15yr how many other customers have you ripped off. We have never had such a piss poor waitress as her we would have let her a better tip but after she threw the bill she got $3.00. read more

Vee is an awesome bartender. Very efficient with an unbelievable personality. A true asset to the company. read more

Was told food was good. That was true but it took forever to get it. Waitress\bartender was serving everyone, she was the only one serving 30 people, I counted. I had to get up and get my food from the counter where the cook put it. When I told her she needs help, she said no I got it. The problem is she didn't. l!! She may want all the tips and recognition but it is not fair to the paying customers. Unfortunately I will never go back. As many times I had to get up, I should have stayed home and cooked! read more

I've been going to this bar for years. Moved back to the area and went Sat. 26th of April. WOW WHAT AN AMAZING IMPORTANT!!!! Great job to the owner and staff. I've seen the changes in ownership and I recently went on Saturday for a Sublime Cover Band. It was amazing!!!!! Great food, good prices, and outstanding Service. It was busy but not out of control busy. The new owner is kicking ass. Great job!!!! It also had a great patio area. read more

Service was good and food was tasty. Ambiance was a bit crowded and loud around the markets outside and many entrances

Yikes! Talk about trending in the wrong direction. This could be the poorest managed restaurant in Orange County. Actually, that couldn't be true, because there are no managers! It's literally like no one is in charge here. There is only one cook and one bartender for the whole place. That's it. You have to go to the bar to order your food and drinks. There is no table service at all. Guess it would be OK if you were by yourself, but it's definitely not a place where a couple could go out for a nice lunch or dinner. Their socials make it look like this great bar & restaurant you have to check out. Then you walk in, and it's literally a shit show. They are out of everything, you have to stand in a line to order your food and drinks, and they don't know how to change the kegs or TVs. Staff this place already. Someone with common sense needs to buy this place. Until then, I'll be at Danny K's or literally anywhere else where I can get waited on. read more

Filthy! Drunks at 9:00 am. Empty glasses for 30 minutes. Dive bar err actually dump. Disgusting! Chef Ramsay's restaurants nightmares was on the TV. Coincidentally the name of the restaurant he was trying to improve was called the Capri. It was also disgustingly dirty. I wouldn't have a meal here if you paid me. Can't give a negative review number of stars. read more

Had a great time at Capri this morning with Daquiri + Josh. My kids are enrolled at California Gymnastics down the street for Christmas break, so I shot to Capri to hang and get some work done with my MacBook. I was blown away at how open the bar felt after the new remodeling! It's airy, bright, lively, and gets even better in the evening!! Daquiri was serving cold drinks, and I even got to meet the new chef, Robert and enjoy his amazing steak Crostinis!! I can't wait to come back to Capri next week and enjoy some more offerings from their newly updated menu! Their manager, Josh was warm, welcoming and roaming the space ensuring everyone was all smiles, everything you'd expect in a solid bar manager. We'll definitely be back, thanks Capri crew!! read more

Went by the night before Thanksgiving and had a delicious cheeseburger and tater tots! Bartender was awesome and a good place to watch football as well read more

Waitress was too busy playing concoction maker that she didn't even get our order right. She came back to the table twice to ask what the order was. Messed up the order, forgot the salad and appetizer we ordered. The appetizer came out 2 minutes before the steaks came out. There was more fat on the steak than there was meat. She ignored us the rest of the time. We had to flag her down multiple times just to get a refill on drinks and then to ask for the bill. Just ridiculous service. The actual bartender was on top of her game. read more

I'm shocked at the negative recent reviews of the Capri. I'm a monthly visitor usually on Saturdays. My drinks have always been spot on and poured well. When I have ordered a meal I've always enjoyed it. The service has been great even though the bar is busy. One server has been able to handle the bar, drinks and food delivery all on her own. I would give her a compliment but I don't know her name. Overall, don't the recent reviews make you hesitate give it shot! read more

Always a good time, good pours and great bar food. A good place to chill and just hang out

Great place! Edith is the best, always attends to the customers. I recommend this place for the service and food. I'm local to this place, it's my go to and love it. read more

We have been coming here for years & we were excited at the prospect of a new menu. Not only was the service subpar (of course taking into consideration that she was alone on a Sunday, football morning), but 3/4 if our food came out wrong, & 3/4 was overcooked. 3 hours for 2 drinks each & 4 wrong meals. Needless to say, we were VERY disappointed. After years of patronage, I can honestly say that I don't know that we will be back. read more

Kinda scary from the outside but this bar has excellent food and the servers and locals are friendly!

What happened to this place? Stopped in for corn beef and cabbage on St Patty's day and was served a cold plate of food! The utensils were brought after our food was served and were super dirty! The presentation was very sad. Decided to cancel our food order and go elsewhere. Our server, Edith, who was very new, tried her best and was very sweet! I did advise her to "crack the whip" with the help in the back. Let's hope! read more
