    Tequila Sunset
    Ashley C.

    This place is such a hidden gem in Irvine/Tustin area. It's right inside the Mess Hall and if you come a little earlier during midweek it's not too busy. There are a bunch of food places in the Mess Hall so you can eat food and grab a drink. We asked our bartender if she could make us a drink. All the drinks looked great and our bartender was super creative. Her drinks are not only beautiful but also delicious! Both drinks we got were tequila based. One is like a Tequila Sunset and the mango flavor was super fresh. All their syrups and garnishes are made in-house it seems. The second drink was inspired by the Lakers with purple and gold colors. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. If you're feeling adventurous, my recommendation is to ask the bartender to make you something, just let them know what your go-to liquor is and maybe some flavor profiles you like. The custom drinks do cost $15, but I think it's worth it considering the general range is from $12-$15 per drink.

    Nice open airy multi-business venue with this place taking a central location within. Great beer selections and cocktail options are available from this place. Bartenders are welcoming, active, and lively. Great meeting space with outdoor areas all around the building. There is a couple TV's to keep you up on sports and the average person coming in here is amicable.

    Beautiful diluted disaster

    The bartender: "Do you like your drink?" Me: "It's very light, like drinking fruit juice." The bartender: "So you like your cocktails stronger?" Me: "Who wouldn't like their cocktail to taste like fruit juice?" Instead of pouring me a proper cocktail, the bartender walks away. Why bother asking me if you're not willing to make it right? ---Martiny de pina y mango: It's like drinking Ceres Mango Juice with a splash of martini. Unfortunately, the bartender didn't mix it well and all the alcohol is hiding beneath the mango juice. It's like playing a game of hide and seek with your drink, but instead of finding Waldo, you find an overly sweetened 0.5oz of strong alcohol lurking at the bottom. Yuck! And don't get me started on those cheap dried citrus pieces that look like potpourri floating on top. They have zero function and zero fragrance, yet every cheap cocktail place seems to use them. Maybe it's time to invest in some real fruit, people. --- Spicy Mule: It comes in a tiny bronze cup, probably 0.5 oz alcohol inside. --- As for the "Mezcal Old Fashioned," it's a complete joke. The bartender pours everything into a shaker with a scoop of mini ice cubes and shakes it for nearly 30 seconds before pouring a diluted liquid over a giant ice block. Who shakes a Mezcal Old Fashioned like that? I've never seen a bartender shake a Mezcal Old Fashioned like a maraca before. It's meant to be stirred a few times and then poured over a big ice cube, but this guy cheated. The drink has less than 1 oz of liquor, and the rest is just water. ---And finally, the "Lychee" is the most expensive fruit juice I've ever paid for. Is there even any alcohol inside? Maybe just a measly 0.2oz? It's hard to tell. The environment is like company canteen that's open to the public in the after company hours. It's literally surrounded by offices.

    El Diablito

    I like to come here on Wednesdays or Thursdays since my favorite bartender is here those days. Miguel can cook up some fine cocktails making them look like a wonderful piece of art. To where you don't want to drink them because you will ruin the beautiful artistry that is in front of you. There are beer and cocktail offerings here and you can try samples of the beer of course. There are also special cocktails listed on a small menu on the bar to choose from. I go with the El Diablito since it consists of mezcal and I love the smokey and tangy/sweet flavors from this drink. Make sure to stop by here, located at Flight in Tustin Legacy!

    Spicy Flaca
    Yvette S.

    First time visiting the Flight at Tustin Legacy campus and I have to say I'm impressed. The DRINK BAR was one of the spots my friends and I stopped to have a drink at and we thought this place had a cool vibe. There was plenty of common area seating inside and outside. You are able to take our drinks to the outdoor patio, which I recommend if the weather is nice. There is an array of shaded areas as well as some in the sun. The staff at the bar was very helpful and quick to process orders. Prices were reasonable (averaging $12 - $15). We had the Spicy Flaca which is a refreshing cucumber-based drink with tequila. I did not see food on the menu, but there are some food options within the same area. We paired our drinks with chips and guacamole from the taco spot next door and that fulfilled our snack craving. We went on a Saturday and there was plenty of parking and it wasn't overwhelmed with people like the Packing District in Anaheim.

    I feel ambivalent about sharing this review because I'm selfish and don't want to share this place with anyone else and in they're own right will gain notoriety. But the bartenders (actually alcoholic magicians) working here are so cool, and knowledgeable I feel it's my duty to share it. Located in a newly constructed location, The Mess Hall, Drink Bar is where the magic happens. The concoctions they've come up with are so ridiculously delightful, they should be illegal; almost. Let's take this smoked Oaxacan margarita ($12ish), glass is filled with wood chips smoke, rimmed with salt and sugar, and garnished with a dehydrated lime. Flavorful as heck and goes down like water. Spicy mule ($12) with Serrano infused vodka. They make their own infused vodka people! A very close 2nd fave drink of the night. MORE than just a Spicy kick. Lychee/passion fruit Pisco sour with real egg whites ($??) I think it's around $12-14, but it was specially made for my buddy. 2nd best thing I love about this place, the bartenders. They're both Super nice and super chill. I would def give this place a try and go out of my way to get here! Only negative right now is the hours are wonky. They close at 5pm on Sunday's and 8ish on the rest of the days. This due to the fact that the surrounding office buildings are not fully opened and they are still in a soft opening schedule.

    Butterfly martini
    Leslie S.

    Personally I don't like paying more money on one little cocktail then an entire meal but my friends wanted to go out to grab drinks so we ended up here. The bar is big but it was all full! And it was a Thursday night! Maybe because it's new. The bar tender was great and the drink was good. I just never think 15 bucks for a small cocktail is justifiable. I ordered the Butterfly martini because it sounded like it would be more on the sweeter side, which is what I prefer. It certainly was sweet! At least the drink was strong. I just sipped mine the entire meal but I could see people having 2 or 3 of these and they will be LIT. Not much more to say, my friends ordered other drinks that they enjoyed, one was neat because they lit some of the garnishes on fire for a smoker flavor boost. That was pretty cool. My friends also ordered some food that they were able to bring to the bar to enjoy while they sipped their drinks. All in all, I am done paying for overpriced alcohol at these trendy market hall joints. Soda water for me all the way! But I will be back again because there are lots of food options I would like to try out.

    Drink Bar is a promising spot in the Mess Hall food court over at Flight. They have a pretty promising line-up of booze and a decent selection of taps, but the drink specials need to be improved. I really like mezcal, and there is a lot you can do with it, but the one drink special that uses it is just a mule with a bit of flair that you can't really taste. Now, the mule was good, but that isn't a way to feature the spirit. There were other specialty drinks on offer, and few of them looked like they could be interesting, but I wanted a mezcal or tequila cocktail to pair with my tacos, so I went with the mule. Specialty drinks are $12 or $14, which is reasonable, and I expect the operating hours to extend and think like happy hour to start once they go beyond the soft opening stage. Maybe next time I come in I will see if I can teach them how to made a tequila/mezcal version of penicillin.

    I thought this is a good place to hangout and get a drink. They have beer on tap and I selected the house blonde which I thought was light and just want I wanted. They also have mango cart on draft that I normally get. Bartender was personable, but seemed to be a little busy with his phone texting but he still answers my questions so I have no huge complaints here. I would definitely be back here with my friends. The choices of food is also a selling point for me, it's an awesome food plaza, small but really cool food places and the drink bar at the center of it all.

    Brandi P.

    Amazing drinks and great bartender's. Super friendly and reasonably priced in a really neat location. Must stop by and try!!!

    Samsun Nahar A.

    Highly recommend this place if you are looking for food cocktail and from the price point it is worth it as well. Plenty of parking available too

    Tropico cocktail
    Christopher L.

    What a cool find! Great bar, surprisingly fancy and delicious drinks. I got the Tropico which featured Jamaica and a flamed preserved fruit over the top. Definitely looking forward to returning.

    Yes, there are ping pong tables outside. I don't recommend playing ping pong here, because there are no walls to prevent the ball from getting lost in the bushes.

They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

When you go thru the sliding doors it immediately transports you to a different time and place. Its very dark. Sleek. And modern. Yet simple. I love the big screen tvs with areal views of New York. It just made it feel like we were in a high rise building or a blimp with a birds eye view of many of New Yorks beautiful landmarks. The couches were extremely comfortable too. Great cushion. You just sink into them. Its a small area but great utilization of the space, making it seem large and spacious. The chairs too were really comfortable to sit in. We spent 3 hours in there and it flew by so quickly. The ambiance and feel here was just truly top notch. Our waitress was Brandy, or is it Brandi? She was super cool. She was a one person crew. Basically getting orders, making drinks, cleaning tables, and checking in on us. And she did it with great charisma, attitude and personality. Super knowledgeable about the menu. Made great drinks quickly. And was just super personable. Great job from her!! Her attitude and demeanor really matched the top tier aura they were going for here. They have a great selection of drinks. From more alcohol forward drinks to light and fruity drinks to refreshing drinks. I really did enjoy their drink selections. We had a total of about 6 drinks and they were all really good! We got there: 1. Fox's wedding- light, seeet and refreshing. I love the origami piece that Brandy put on it as well. Looked so beauitful. 2. Guava chiffon pancake- it was tropical, light but also had a coconut feel to it. It was really good. 3. The Monroe- this was light but tart, but not too tart. Silky with fruit forward notes. 4. Miso honey butter corn- rarely is a savory cocktail good. But this one was pretty good. The butter fat washed burbon was super intriguing. But it works well 5. When pigs fly- came with a paper airplane on top!! Haha. Love the playfulness. But the drink was so complex yet smooth. It was really good. For the bourbon drinkers, this one is for you! 6. Smoked Old Fashion- presentation is amazing. Comes in a big glass case that has cherry wood smoke inside. When you open it, you get that intense smell of burning cherry wood. Drink is smokey but in a very good way. Tasted amazing. A true classic done right. Their food menu is very encompassing and thorough as well. From full on burgers, to flat breads, to appetizers and small bites, to salads. They have a little of everything!! We ordered the following: 1. Pub nachos- this was an extremely large plate of loaded nachos. Super crunchy and fresh. I loved the generous amount of Chipotle chicken on top. The pepper jack queso sauce and jalapeño crema was a really good sauce. It just binded everything together. The beans and the fresh jalapeño just really all worked together. It was super good. Kept you grazing and munching away, but never becoming too full (more room for their drinks!!). 2. Figgy piggy flat bread- it was ok. Sweet caramel onions and fig jam, paired with some pungent cheeses. I thought it was pretty good. 3. Shrimp street tacos- 1 order comes with 2 tacos. They were good sizes. I love their tacos. So flaverful. Everything works together. Just tasted amazing!! Overall everything about this place is 5 stars. The ambiance, the decor, the exclusivity. The service. The drinks and the food. As i said 3 hours went by so fast!! Definitely a must try when in the area. And when you stay at the Marriott, its just a simple walk back to your room. And we left feeling happy and amazing. Thank you very much Brandy!!

The cooking uses quality ingredients and love and care. I was here on business by myself and was seated immediately and after a quick look at the menu decided on the devil's cut ribeye a steak. It comes with a massive amount of oven, roasted potatoes and green beans. I also got a side salad with it as well which was way too much food for one person. The entire thing was big enough for two normal or maybe even three light eaters. The steak was excellent with a sweet coffee rub with a slightly sweet mapley taste. I could only finish about half and save the rest for the next day. Even though I was full, I decided to try the fried apple pie because it was recommended by many other reviewers. It was actually amazing. It was the dish that was highly recommended by the server and she was not wrong. The ice cream on top was probably House made and the pie itself was like a gourmet version of a hostess apple pie but of course with much higher quality ingredients and it was delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is exciting. It is a fun place to visit with the visual aspects such as the bird cages in the window case. Oak barrels used for aging whiskey are set around and the general vibe was very attractive. Everyone was having a great time and making quite a lot of noise from all the conversation and the music, but people were really enjoying themselves. If you want to have a quiet conversation with someone, this is probably not your place, but if you want a fun time with that kind of vibe, it is an excellent place. I recommend Bosscat highly.
