LADIES WATCH YOUR PURSES HERE!…read more The bartenders and wait staff were great! Management is amateur hour. We had to move 3 different times for the VIP customer. Move 1 - I did deserve this move, I sat at a reserved table because I was tired of standing and when asked to move we did to a small tabletop with no reserve sign. Move 2 - The beautiful people arrived and we were asked to move again. (FYI - the beautiful people never used this tabletop) It's very late and knew the band was ending soon, so we went inside and found a table again with no reserve sign. Move 3 - We go out to dance and start to head back to where we were sitting and all our purses were gone! But guess who was at our table the beautiful people. I go up to ask where our purses are at and they send me to a pole, where they had moved over 10 purses. I was lucky my friend had picked up my purse, we found my other friends purse at a table all by itself! To management - 1. Don't ever touch a woman's purse, the song was maybe 3 minutes long you could have waited. 2. If you are stupid enough to move a purse, be apologetic and help us find our purses. Or offer to replace our drinks you tossed. I should not have had to ask. What if my friend needed her EpiPen? 3. Everyone in your establishment is a customer, we were buying drinks and food. Don't treat us like peasants or cattle for you to move. Oh they did have a nice drink menu, but we will never go back!

Ackphft! Seriously?! I just read a pile of the one star reviews for the Sandpiper and felt I…read moreneeded to put in my two cents. First point is that many of the complaints are true. Yeah, some of the folks who work there or have worked there are, quite frankly, not exactly coothe. They might say stupid and offensive things. Yep. True. And yeah, the place is a dive, which is a positive. Smells like mold/mildew? I didn't experience that but could be. You've lived in your posh cliffside house too long to know what a place with character is like. The Sandpiper is both great and crap at the same time. The latter is part of what makes it great! The booze is of low to average quality. The music is variable. The scene...great! This is where the locals hang out and they are as varied and entertaining as one could want. (Dennis Rodman used to come in from time to time as well.) Brad is awesome. And Chuck. I haven't been to "The Dirty Bird" in quite a while as I moved out of Laguna and so it's a bit more of a hike to get there..does Chuck (the owner) still drop by frequently? He used to work behind the bar nightly. Fantastic guy. No, that's wrong. He's more than fantastic. The Sandpiper is a jewel of Laguna and I hope it's around long after I'm gone. (Dude who's pissed he was kicked out at 1:45am...you're seriously upset over that? Oh boy.)

The stars don't reflect the perfect niche Turk's fills in Dana Point Harbor…read more Turk''s Dana Warf is and will always be Dana Point Harbor's perfect dive bar. All the fisherman on the way out for the charters come into and out of here, the party boats hit here, people who have stayed late after walking their dog or eating at wind and sea land here as well. It is tiny, it is dark, it is covered in knickknacks and tchotchkes, and it is perfect for what it is. Turk's receives three stars because drinks are basic and limited, bartenders are intentionally a little bit surly, and if you choose to eat here the food is just so-so. But if you're out and about in the harbor late at night or after some group excursions, it doesn't suck to stop at Turks.

Granted I've only been on Labor Day when all bets are off, bands are jamming all day and it's as…read morefestive as it ever is, but I absolutely love this place. Littered with locals that know each other and the local vibe well. Drinks are strong, if not inventive, and prices are 2026 dive bar friendly. I've brought friends here and made others.

That said, everyone was respectful, and it ended up being a fun experience overall. Looking back, I'm glad this was my introduction to the bar scene. Good food, good drinks, and plenty of character. Definitely worth stopping by!

There is a dress code (and a posted code of conduct), which I appreciate. It's a good excuse to dress up a little more and act a little more classy (is that ever a bad thing). The drinks are well balanced, unique, and delicious (and, there's pages of them)! The decor is fun (there's lots to look at), and I love the low lighting and no-phones policy. It reminds you to stay present! Shout out to Sean: Sean is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also such a kind and personable bartender. He made the experience extra special by giving us the perfect (and I mean perfect) drink recommendations our first time here. Andrea also gave us some fun insight on the drink names and history of Roost 374. I hope this place has years of success to come. Thank you Roost team for making this place as wonderful as it is!

We loved the hostess who made the whole thing feel so lucrative and she even took some photos of us in the waiting room before we had to put our phones away for inside. We had made reservations ahead of time but they placed us at the bar which was a bummer because there were definitely still tables available. Inside is cool with eccentric decor. The overall vibe though tailored an older crowd and not so much people in their 20's. There were a lot of drink options but not a lot of of that sweet and fun that I prefer. It's more sophisticated cocktails. Some staff reminded me to not have my phone out when I was clearly taking a picture of the receipt for my friend and I and that was upsetting. How do you expect me to remember prices and what we ordered lol Also there is no snacks other than like nuts and cheeses.
