I'm not sure what night time is like but during the day the crowd is friendly as hell and the bartenders are amazing! They have solid pool tables, a great jukebox, pinball and cheap drinks. Plus an old Megatouch machine! read more

Been coming here off and on for years. It is the definitive "dive bar"..drinks are cheap, pours are good, bartenders are friendly..even to non-regulars. I especially like Jane and Vicki. It is a 6am-2am place, which I love. Now and then I like a good drink or 2 in the morning. They do have 2 pool tables and several TVs, plus a couple old-school pinball machines and a golf machine. Worst features are the bathrooms..could definitely use a remodel. Can only speak for the men's, though I have been in women's once when I needed to use it urgently and men's was locked. The strip mall where the bar is located is also a hangout for a number of vagrants. They don't particularly bother bar patrons, but if you are a woman going there alone, especially at night, that might be a concern. All in all a great place. read more

Great little dive bar that I've passed a zillion times and finally wanted to give it a shot. We went to the bar for service. Bartender was quick and so nice to everyone. Women's restroom was so clean. Super clean for a dive bar! We passed on any bites this time. But will give something a try next time. read more

Stay away -- this place doesn't just reek of rot, it is rot. You don't accidentally end up at The C'est Si Bon. It's buried in a forgotten corner of the city, a place the cops drive past without slowing down. The sign outside flickers like a dying pulse, and what goes on inside is a different kind of decay entirely. The bar is a front -- let's not pretend otherwise. Drinks are served, sure, but the real transactions happen in whispers and shadowed corners. The booths aren't for conversation. They're for deals, exchanges, and people who should have stopped looking over their shoulder a long time ago. There's no charm in the grime here. No dive bar nostalgia. Just danger. You'll notice the eyes first -- sunken, wired, hollow. You're not welcome unless someone says you are, and even then, that can change fast. One wrong glance, one out-of-place question, and you're the outsider everyone suddenly remembers. Management, if it exists, turns a blind eye. The bartender won't ask if you're okay. No one will. The bathrooms are tagged, broken, and look like scenes you don't want to imagine. Every surface feels sticky with stories best left untold. This isn't a "hidden gem" or a "rough-around-the-edges" local spot. It's a nest for everything that festers when the city forgets to care. Supporting places like this doesn't make you edgy. It makes you complicit. You don't want to drink here. You don't want to know the regulars. And you definitely don't want to be around when the lights come on -- if they ever do. Avoid this place. For your safety. For your conscience. read more

Great local dive bar! I'm not from the area but this was recommended after dinner by a friend who lives walking distance. There's pool tables, darts, and pinball! The drinks are great and service was too! Wish I lived closer and I'd frequent this place. read more

Service is fast VICKIE your the best always makes my day better when I come here and she is working read more

C'est Si Bon - Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Westminster, California

If you're looking for a stiff drink, this is the place. like shifting a 53 MG ! don't look for draft beers, it's all bottles and cans. Beware of parking in the Art store lot during their business hours, highly frowned on and a ticket could ensue. The girls behind the bar are friendly and attractive. Steel tip darts are gone, replaced with the plastic. The daytime crowd is mainly locals with the usual faces. read more

Came around 230pm and Finally got to check out this bar, despite driving by for over a decade. This bar is located on Westminster and Edwards (across the street from KFC). Inside looks very spacious. Has a bar and two pool tables ($0.50 per play). There's a touchtunes where you can pay to change the current music, like a typical jukebox. For first timers, here's how this works if you never been to a bar: The patrons are mostly adults, depending on what time you come. Same goes for the bartender. Because there's no protective glass at the bar, expect that patrons and bartenders are walking around and talking without a mask. They have a wide selections of alcohol and shots. Bartender Laurie is very nice and very attentive to her customers. Met an older adult and was very friendly. Order a corona ($4.50) and that's it but was paid by a new friend whom I just met. What's so unique about this bar is that is very close to few eateries like La Casa Brito or the Kabob grill. Give this place a try if you are looking to unwind. read more

A couple weeks ago my husband, brother and myself came for my brother's birthday. One of the locals, Roger, said that my husband and brother needed to take their shirts off at 9. This made us uncomfortable as this fat, sweaty guy without a shirt kept coming over to my brother demanding he take his shirt off too. He constantly made passes and insisted on buying us drinks. My brother was tired of getting hit on so we left. What an odd place. Drinks were cheap but we won't be back. read more

Good old fashioned dive bar. Bartender ( I believe his name was Walt) was friendly and accommodating. Would recommend. Good vibes and very busy even early Sunday afternoon. Cold beer. Great drinks. Love it read more

first dive bar i've been to and it was a decent experience! we had a very funny and sweet bartender and i wished i remembered her name drinks were cheap and strong... at least it was for my friend who ordered a diet vodka. i got a rum and coke that was more coke than alc but maybe she clocked me as someone who didn't like drinks that tasted too much like alcohol LOL dim and loud on the inside with a clean enough rickety restroom with chill enough patrons read more

C'est Si Bon - "rum" and coke - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Westminster, California

No-nonsense dive bar with friendly regulars, cheap drinks, and even cheaper popcorn (free). Had three different servers. One had a weak pour, another had a very good pour. A third, Melissa, took really good care of us: you'll be lucky if she has time to shoot the shit with you because she's friendly, genuine, funny, and reminds me of a redheaded Missi Pyle. read more

Was nervous about this place years after moving here. Met a wonderful tender named Melissa who welcomed us like family, we've stayed ever since. We've returned for than half dozen years, because of her. We hope everyone get to experience the same feeling! read more

Tried this bar about 6 months ago been in love since. Great atmosphere and great crowd of people. The beer is cheap, they have pool and awesome music. The bartenders are awesome but all time best is Vicki. She runs this place like a champ. She is the all time best if you want a good conversation and a drink. Don't believe these haters this bar is awesome for a good time with good people. read more

Melissa one of the best bartenders! She gave up her own personal darts because she cared. She is the sweetest and had a great attitude. The bar was chill, everyone happy, and no issues (no Fox News racial divide). Highly recommend read more

I had a previous review that somehow hi jacked a picture not consistent with the location. This is a good spot to grab a drink on the go and there is a good Mediterranean eatery a few doors down for quick take out. Not a bad after work location in my book. Nice peeps, divey, quiet. read more

I simply love this place!! Cute little dive bar with two pool tables, pinball machines, dartboards, and a cool local vibe.

Very laid back bar, the people here are cool not too much drama like other bars . They serve good and strong drinks they have pool tables and an internet jukebox. They have popcorn to munch on, but there a good restaurant in the same shopping center if your there before 9pm. read more

I randomly stumbled upon this little hole in the wall. The atmosphere is contagious, and there were two bartenders. Walt and Tina. Although Tina is super pretty, Walt stole the show! A proper place to let your worries dissolve. Tina was a 100% receptive to your drink needs and was charming. . Walt made you feel at home read more

One of my all time fave bars ever! Dives are classic and the people who are regulars are fantastic! They have done a great job during the shutdown to maintain their clientele and keep people safe as well. read more

I really liked this place until the woman behind the bar Friday nights treated me very unwelcome, I can tell she's comfortable in the job, she doesn't own the joint but behaves like it. I've bartender ten years, and have only spoken to a guest the way she spoke to me if I wanted them to leave. After I was shocked by how I was spoken to, she realized she was wrong and apologized, but the damage was done and I stopped going here. I was already spending about 50 bucks a week here until that night. read more

Come here too often for my own good. But cold beers, hard pours, and local vibes is what it's about.

Locals rejoice! After living in Westminster for 22 years, we'd never been to a bar in the city. Drinks were reasonably priced. The best part of our experience was the bartender. She was extremely kind! Free popcorn with coconut oil was good. 50-cent pool! Cute little bar. Would love to come back. :) read more

Good place to come if you want to die of thirst. Bartenders cannot mix a drink if it has more than 2 ingredients, one of them being ice. You can sit at the bar for 10 minutes without being greeted or acknowledged. Save your money and your time, for a place that takes your business seriously. read more

It's a total dive, but everyone who's there is chill and there's a good crowd. Susan at the bar is AH-mazing! Me and my friends plan on coming back regularly. read more

There should be a zero star rating. This bar is apparently for regulars only. Some friends and I were in the area and wanted to drop by to check this place out. WILL NEVER COME BACK! Service was incredible slow for us "non-locals" and the bartender was extremely rude. Every other word out of her mouth was an explicative. "What can I get for you ....(insert derogatory that rhymes with door)? Back for another drink already....(insert another derogatory that rhymes with mutt)? I figured it was her brand of humor -- but it got old fast. She was rubbing everyone the wrong way in the bar that night. I'd over hear conversations from other patrons about how rude she was to everyone except the 4-5 regulars who sat at the bar. She even shared that she was working a triple -- which to her, justified her removing her bra in the middle of the bar off her late 50's yr old body. DONT TOUCH THE JUKEBOX OR THE BARTENDER WILL CANCEL SONGS SHE DOESNT LIKE/KNOW AND WILL THROW YOU OUT OF THE BAR. read more

4 stars for that rad signage outside. Everytime we go to ASW I always say that I want to stop by for a drink in here. I concur with the other reviewers that you do HAVE to be a local to get even a crack of a smile out of the old lady's face. After an art show at the Catalyst Gallery a few doors down Saturday night we were going to pop in for just one drink, There was a group of us. Perhaps we looked just too different for this crowd but we were pretty much rudely refused service. OK, DUMBASS you also just lost out on making some money for the bar and tips retard! Perhaps she was put off when I asked if they had St. Germain. Whatever, we got it. We are not dirty enough for your establishment. I am a fan of dive bars, even asses with attitudes.. This place is just lame. I almost guarantee it that she can't make a decent cocktail other than pouring beer from tap which is not a cocktail nor does it take talent. AVOID this place if you don't live around the corner in a cardboard box or smell like dirty arm pits or can call everyone my their first name... read more

I actually only created a Yelp account because I was reading the reviews of this place and got so mad I felt I had to say something. I've been going to this place for about 4 years now. I was 23 or so when I started going and have never been refused service or treated rudely. The bar staff has always gone inordinately out of their way to please me. Susan is the finest bartender I've ever seen work and i'm not exaggerating at all. The people who frequent this bar are indeed regulars, locals, and lifers. There are some more than interesting and less than savory characters, but as a dive bar, I'd be disappointed if this constituency was not represented. The only problem I've ever encountered is when someone did not bring their ID, as they are strict about carding. I've made friends here. The people here will talk to anyone, and no, girls, they aren't hitting on you, even if they're older and say you're good looking. They're old fashioned and polite; they're hard working and they deserve a drink or 5 when they're done. Besides the ultra-premium liquors, there isn't a drink over $5 here. Domestic beer (no draft, I don't know where Christina S. got that) is $3. There's an internet jukebox and two pool tables. It's the epitome of the local dive bar. If you're trying to get laid, get out or lower your standards quickly. But don't start insulting my friends because you went into a place that wasn't what you expected. Oh yeah, if you'd like to say hi I'm there Tues Thurs and Fri when I have a few bucks and I'm the guy reading. read more

This bar is an institution. I, like many of the younger Westminsterites, grew up walking by, knowing it was a bar (watch out, drinking is bad!), and wondering what the hell it's like inside. When we're all running for our double-digit cocktails, C'est Si Bon serves em up cheap and strong. I do get a wary sense that they don't want to be a 'hip discovery,' and I think that's completely fair, but it's a cool space, worth checking out for sure. I feel like it has to remain as a Stonehenge-like presence or the essence of Westminster as it expanded in the 1950s will be lost forever. read more

The bartender was super nice (even though I was a n00b and asked what was on tap [nothing]) and other then a handful of ~nice~ patrons asking if me and my friend had just turned 21 (the bartender defended our mid-twenties honor), everyone pretty much left us alone. Well there was an older couple that came and stood awkwardly close to our table and danced. The woman smacked and squeezed the butt of her date and then they walked away. It was kind of bizarre. I actually really liked the vibes, very good for people watching. There were pretty good jams playing. I wish they had beer on tap and electronic darts so I could show off my beautiful arm muscles and darts skillz, I suppose next time I'll have to bring a friend with real darts. read more

Best bar and the VERY best bartender - Susan! She is wonderful! Full Bar, Darts, Pool - and Pool tournaments every Thursday! read more

Everything is very cheap and looking cheap. Cheap is the theme here! Melissa is the best bartender by far! Susan thinks all women come here for the men not for the cheap drinks! Hahaha read more

Susan the bartender is great :) she's got a cure for what ails ya haha This is a dive bar and that's how I'm rating it. Come in a tshirt, come in sweatpants, come all dressed up, it doesn't matter. Cheap drinks, solid service, darts, pool, and a fancy jukebox. I love it here! Everyone is nice and it has that kinda small town, we-are-who-we-is feel :) read more

A regular here for some time. Susan, Melissa, Julie, and all the other bartenders are great! Definitely some of the best cocktails in Orange County. Friendly group of regulars. A real place to have great drinks with great people! read more

Love this place. This is no hipster faux dive, it's the real deal. Not a real down and dirty drunk? You may wanna take your beanie, tight jeans, and fixie, someplace else cause this place is a healthy dose of alcohol-drenched reality. read more

Love this place, I've been coming here for a couple years and the bartenders always know exactly what I want to order. Melissa makes amazing drinks and can recommend new things to you! Susan is awesome and extremely attentive! 50 cent pool games, free popcorn, and a jukebox you can play your own music on. read more

If if I could post 0 stars I would. Susan needs to work on her customer service. Very dry and blasé attitude. Posts claims she is the best but don't be fooled most of her crew will be enabling her to think she is more than her output. I was celebrating a birthday with a friend who had a designated driver and was cut off for some reason. She was chill and wasn't harming anyone's bar experience. Look elsewhere to celebrate something significant. Good luck convincing me otherwise jackholes. read more

Having frequented this place for the first time in my twenty something years of living in Westminster several years ago, and after passing by this bar daily as a curious youngster wondering, "Wow, how interesting that the sign is in French! I wonder what it's like inside?" Let's just say this local bar is not for the young hipster(s) trying to discover a new place to hang in the fabulously ghetto city of Westminster. Hence, I understand Christina T.'s one star review, since I have been kindly informed upon my second visit by one of the matured female bartenders that the bar's "crowd is bit hard for you girls." There is, however, one redeeming quality about the place if you are ever passing through and need a quick drink, it's dirt cheap! I cannot complain about a $7 shot of Patron Anejo especially when the Patron Silver could run you $10-12 anywhere else. I have been here about half a dozen times and have never stayed longer than fifteen minutes except maybe the first time with a group of friends - booze up and get out! Apparently, this bar is as old as the business strip that was first erected in the early fifties! The fact that it has survived after so many years certainly shows how the locals really do provide the business and the longevity that makes it almost a historic site in this city. read more
