Ended up here on a whim with some friends and honestly loved it. Dark, no-frills, a little chaotic in the best way. Pool tables, strong drinks, good energy, and absolutely no pressure to perform. It's refreshing to be somewhere that doesn't care who you are or where you usually go. read more

Very fair prices....when you can get service. They need to hire or train staff that are customer service oriented and friendly and dump the people behind the bar that ask ''what do you need?". The poor service is the primary reason why I have not returned. read more

Shame on this place.. charging a $3.00 per drink service stating it is a holiday charge. What is funny is that this was today.The day after fourth of july and they were charging three dollars extra per drink. I hardly ever go to this bar and now will never go.Because I think it's ridiculous to pay $3.00 extra per drink the day after a holiday at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. When there was hardly anybody in the bar. So tacky and so disgusting and the drink wasn't even good. read more

We stopped in to kill a little time before going to the other place. We went to they had drinks. I had a couple steps, but I ended up just drinking water to feel better. It was a fun place. It was quite busy. The music was great. they have a pool table they have outside so you can smoke if people do smoke. The vibe is great. We got a large table for all of us to sit and just talked and hung out and then more friends came to celebrate which was awesome and then we left, but it was nice. We got seats. Everybody was smiling and having fun and enjoying the music and drinks. Thank you for great service. Everybody was really nice and the bartenders. Have a beautiful day :) show kindness to everyone Aloha read more

Local here, I used to go to goat hill pretty often... probably wont anymore after the horrible experience I had last weekend. Recently got laid off and went to blow some steam off with my boyfriend and room mate, we ordered a few drinks and the bar tender with long hair looks at me when I was trying to order more and said I didnt tip him with a nasty look so he took every one else's order...... I waited 30 minutes there and he wouldnt even look at me after. I understand people live off tips but I found it super disrespectful and highly inappropriate... it gets worse.... when I realized he was being a douche I went to the other side of the bar and he saw so he told the other bartender (he was on the bigger side) managing that area something and pointed at me. That bartender never got my order and I waited again for a while until the woman bartending finally got my order. Im so sad and kind of traumatized by what happened because I love goathill and usually staff is nice but I dont know what happened this time, maybe because there was so many people his ego was higher than his height??? read more

Big fans of Goat Hill. Truly a Costa Mesa staple. If you went to high school in CM, you'll run into at least five people you know. #HighSchoolReunion. It's got bar games, popcorn, an announcer who calls people names, and great music. What more could you ask for?! We're such big fans that my friend (Tom's Psalm on SoundCloud) even wrote a song about it (not released yet). Anyway, great place! read more

As much as I love the place here and the vibe. But this is the dirtiest place I have ever been to. I've been to gas station restrooms that were pristine compared to this. I would rather pay triple the price to never see that restroom again. The price of the drinks were not remotely comparable to the nastiness of the environment you are in. Our bill, over $100, I would imagine they would at least mop or something once a quarter. Also, considering there is food. Is this even okay with the USDA? I feel nasty drinking anything from here. Disgusting. Staff is nice though :) read more

What did my eyes see last night? The people watching here on a Sunday evening is truly unmatched. People arrived, as if from outer space, in bizarre outfits and way, way too drunk for 9pm. There was a man in a mullet smoking indoors. There was a velour tracksuit. There were girls shrieking in the bathroom, standing on the toilets to take pictures of each other above the stalls. The music was too loud (hope you like drake!) and the lights are so bright it kind of feels like an upside-down world CVS. But the drinks are cheap and various, the bartenders are nice, and I was totally entertained by the scene. We have a charming local legend in Goat Hill Tavern, I fear. read more

Way too overcrowded. They let just about anyone inside. I appreciate the strict security at door. They thoroughly check every lady's bag and all gentleman's waistband. 100% made me enjoy being inside knowing it's a very safe space. I believe they serve some food until a certain time. The bathrooms were my favorite because they were stocked on paper and soap. 2 things that are crucial yet always forgotten. Aside from that, drinks were great and bartenders were attentive. They also allow vape and cigarettes indoors. read more

I'm pleased to report Goat Hill Tavern is still going strong and is still the great place it's aways been. The GOAT (not you LeBron) founded in 1968 is a bona fide Costa Mesa institution. Legend has it that back in the day Newport Beach snobs referred to Costa Mesa as Goat Hill. Orange County has a lot of great bars, and the GOAT is one of the best. I will say, though, many of the great dives in Orange County are going by the wayside, but not the GOAT. It's full bar but beer is the thing with roughly 144 taps. Too many of them are devoted to IPAs, but that's just me. I hate IPAs. Pro tip ask for a tray of peanuts. They are good, and you can throw the shells on the floor to your heart's content. All in all it's a fun place with a chill mostly locals crowd. The cool kids park in the back. Cheers! . read more

It was on the sweeter side but refreshing. For food. We had an assortment. Standouts were the steak dinner and onion rings! I would come back to try other things. The short rib grilled cheese was mid, but would be great to soak up alcohol. Cassidy was an excellent server, even as it got really busy for a UFC fight. Ambiance is definitely fun and unique.

The only redeeming parts of our visit were the pool tables and the serving staff, who were friendly and did their best. Everything else was a huge disappointment. The food was honestly some of the worst we've had, and the drinks were so bad I couldn't even finish mine. We kept hoping something would turn the experience around, but it never did. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I also can't recommend this place. There are just too many great spots nearby to spend your time and money here. I truly hope they make some major improvements, because right now I can't see myself ever coming back.

Goat Hill Tavern, where it's COCKTOBER FEST every night! Wanna know how bad the ratio is here? It's the only place I've heard of where GUYS were being date raped for a short while. Yes, you heard right. Have someone keep an eye on your $8 Heffewizen while you wait in line for the men's room, BRO! Here's an analogy... (And no, that doesn't say anal orgy. I'm talking to you, Goat Hill Rapist!) The 55 freeway = the Santa Ana river The Goat Hill = The mouth of the Santa Ana river that meets the ocean The weekend = one giant rain storm Now think about it this way, when the (rain/weekend) starts you get all types of (garbage/meatbags) traveling down from inland on the (river/the 55) that just ends up mucking up the local area. Would you really want to wade through either? Closet case brotards and soon to be 30 burnouts make up the usual patrons and they are there again trying to unsuccessfully get laid every night. To its credit, this prevents a lot of meat bags from potentially flooding out into the few decent places in the Newport Blvd. area and ruining them. If you miss these unlovable losers you can always meet up with them after last call at the Del Taco on 17th to see them try to start fights with each other due to sexual frustration (Well, I guess they're still hitting something this way, right?) that's fueled by the cold reality that is their greasy palm waiting for them when they get home. Back to the bar... ummmm.... there's some pretty random crap nailed to the walls, and the off night it's not ass to elbows crowded you might even be able to see what kind of bullshit they picked up at a TGI Fridays going out of business sale and stuck to the ceiling. On the crowded nights you can't walk through this place without causing an incident. Looking in the general direction of any insecure chud will result in getting mad dogged or given the rape-eyes depending on what gender you are. Drinks take forever to get if you can even get close enough to the bar to order, and even then the watered down drinks are nowhere near as cheap as they brag to be. The smoking patio is basically indoors (There's a big hole in the roof) so you can't even get away from the noise for a second. You want a real dive bar? Go to the Helm next door. Want a ridiculous, almost unnecessary selection of beers on tap? Go across the street to the just as overpriced Yardhouse. Want to dance with the usual O.C. crowd to the latest top 40 bullshit played too loud? Pierce Street Annex down 17th (Ugh) or Chronic Cantina (UGH!) should suffice. Want to play a game of pool without having to ask 5 people to move anytime you want to make a shot? Go to Games Plus. Want to play foosball? REALLY? GROW THE FUCK UP ALREADY YOU GIANT MAN-CHILD! The point is, no matter who you are or what you're looking for you can find it at much more suitable places all within a mile radius. That is unless you got a thing for the whole side ways hat/long sock combo, crowds, push fights, all you can eat piss covered peanuts, and potential sodomy. If this sounds appealing to you then I'm sure you're already at the Chode Hill right now, and you will be there tomorrow night, and the next night after that. Anyone who wants to keep their dignity, wallet, or sphincter intact should avoid at all costs. PS- If you're an ugly girl, or a chick with a boyfriend and you want to feel like you are still desirable, keep this place in mind since you'll get a nice temporary self esteem boost from the loads of chodes trying to pick you up (among anything else with a hole that walks by) during the desperate attempted parking lot pimping that occurs after last call. Every girl gets to feel two points hotter then they really are here thanks to good ol' desperation. read more

Well at first I was in love with this bar because of the enormous amount of beer on tap, most noticeably the Arrogant Bastard varieties. The more I would go, the less I would enjoy myself though. Gets way too crowded, especially with posers, douche bags, and stuck up assholes being the majority of their clients. Music is loud which is a good thing if they would play good music. Came here once with a good friend of mine and he had other guys trying to start shit with him all night. Then came the infamous night where they got my order wrong. I had ordered a crown and 7, and two Oaked Arrogant Bastards but instead given a crown and 7, 2 Deadman's ales, and the bartender was about to charge me for 1 Oaked Arrogant Bastard. Granted it is really loud, crowded and hectic but there is no reason why the bar tender should tell me that I am wrong, and I messed up my order and not give me my correct order. Instead their bartender insists that I am wrong, charges me for something I did not order and attempt to charge me more for the beer I did want. When I told him no, he insisted that I take the order I did not make or pay extra for what I wanted. On top of this, some pussy tries starting shit with me cause I'm voicing my displeasure with the service to my friends at our table. Needless to say I am not allowed back in due to some minor difficulties with these people. If you enjoy douche crowds and employees who will gladly rip you off while listening to loud shitty music just to get a decent beer, then by all means go. If you enjoy great beer, great music, and a crowd who doesn't care who or what you are, then do the right thing and stay clear of here. read more

This place is more for the "regulars", like Kenny. By regular, I mean- regularly smells like piss, regularly drunk when not sleeping, regularly there every day because you have no life, ect. People going out for a night on the town, or even just out for a drink, should avoid this place at all costs. I lived within walking distance for a short time and when I went, I ended up puking. I'm still not sure if it was the warm beer or vomit w/peanuts smell that consumes the place. Not that it would have mattered, but I managed to make it to the men's room to puke. I think I actually made it cleaner and smell less skanky by getting sick in there. I can confirm the cockney idiots at both entrances checking IDs. They're basically fat asshole, wanna-be gangster types that depend on the few girls that go there to pass out in their cars so they can hook up. This place, and everyone in it, should be condemned. The only shots that should be served there should be given by nurses in a syringe to fight the infections you'll leave with. In the event that you build up an immunity to the crap that is served and hangs out there, congrats! You're now equivalent to a cockroach. So, if you don't mind chillin' with douchebags, c'mon down to the goat. You may smell like shit afterwards. You may leave with an infection or get poisoned. You may get talked shit on by the guys who consider Axe body spray a shower. But damn it, you'll never forget your shitty time at the GHT. And if you see a guy in matching DC wear, call him a bitch for me. :o) read more

I never really enjoyed this place in the past aside from the shuffle board tables, but last night was the worst experience. My friends and I were meeting up with a couple other friends that were already there. As soon as we walked through the door, the bouncer was practically screaming at my other friends that had been there long enough to buy one beer. Apparently he was accusing them of doing coke in the bathroom. One of the girls was 2 months sober, of EVERYTHING, and the other had never seen or done coke in her life. The bouncer swore up and down that these chicks were "partaking in extra curricular activities" in the bathroom. He ripped the beer out of my friends hand, and it spilled down my leg. He did not apologize, he just screamed that we all needed to leave. I believe the exact words were "you are welcome to leave but not welcome to stay" among other very rude things trying to get us out the door. The bar staff were total douche bags and I will never ever go to that place again. I hate bouncers that think they have some superhero power because they have the job of checking IDs at the front door. Good job buddy. You lost at least 15 people's business last night because of your outrageous accusations. And judging by the other reviews of all the stuck up ugly ass chicks in this bar, you guys could have used a few extra cute chicks last night....oh well :) read more

I've been going to The Goat each time I travel to OC on business throughout the year. This has been for about 4 years now. They have 141 (maybe more) beers on tap - some that I've never even heard of and some that I will never try. If you can't find the beer you want at The Goat, you might be the same person with a 141 character Starbucks order. + 141 beers on tap + Good for groups + 1/2 off everything in the bar during Founder's Hour & 1/2 off imports for Import Hour + No food menu - but you can order pizza and eat at The Goat. Ask the barstaff for some peanuts for a snack while you drink. + Quality Sound system + TV's for watching sports + Outdoor covered patio if you smoke + Shuffleboard, pool tables, foosball + Quick bartenders considering some of the crowds I've seen in there You'll see some old school decorations on the walls (old tap handles, bikes, road signs, and of course GOAT heads!) You can be sure of peanut shells on the floor and a great vibe at The Goat. If you go in here expecting an eclectic crowd, dive bar atmosphere, and great beer choices, you'll have a great time. read more

This bar would be fun if not for all the ghetto thugs that are there to ruin other people's time. Moved here from SF and went there and first time some little mexican thuggish kid randomly tells me he's got a gun and he'll use it on me bc I guess he confused me with someone else. I told security and they didn't do anything so they aren't properly trained to handle being security there. Then I tried to get through a crowd and another person tried to pick a fight. Second time I went there just to shoot some pool and someone pukes all over the pool table and then a brawl starts with people. Saturday, March 7th, someone I know got jumped while waiting for a cab by 3 thug Mexican guys that were tatted up. If anyone has any info on these guys I'd appreciate it. They got away before cops came. The reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 is because from what I've read this is a historic bar and I bet a few years ago people used to be able to have a good time. They should have security there with metal detectors since it looks like people stab each other on the regular there. read more

I came here last weekend with some friends and was attacked by the bouncers for nothing. My friends girlfriend was pushed to the floor and called a whore, for nothing. My friend was put in a choke hold and his 60 year old father was also choked. I have read many other reviews after this incident happening to us and it seems they pick fights against their own patrons for nothing quite often. For 3 guys jumping on me out of nowhere, I think they need more practice. I was only poked and scratched. I've never had or seen a male throw a punch without closing his hand to make a fist. The worst part of all of this was getting home and trying to wash the smell of summer's eve that these bouncers left on my clothes. Even worse than that, the short fat bald bouncer with the goatee left a stench on me that I can only compare to a back alley dumpster that has been behind a fish market and not emptied for months. Hey there guy, get your bouncer buddies to show you how to use that douche and triple up. Good luck! read more

Again 0 stars if possible. However, I am shocked that a business such as this, which has been put on legal notice (both actual and constructive notice) of "Rick Navarro's" creepy, aggressive and outright DISCRIMINATORY conduct, continues to show a total disregard for patron's well-being and safety. In case you're unaware, Rick is the bald security guard who does not only steal patrons' property (he stole my cell phone when I tried to record his outrageous conduct recently), but unfortunately, much worse.... I was disgusted to read the numerous reviews implicating "Rick's" horrific engagement in assault, battery, racial discrimination, disability-based discrimination... the list goes on. I invite anyone reading this to type in "rick" in the search box for this establishments review. It is disgusting and grossly negligent that Goat Hill Tavern keeps this person employed. read more

I walk in and I notice they have an large amount of beers on tap from all over the world. This is my kind of bar at first glance. After become aquainted with the place I notice there are peanut shells all over the floor. ewww. But i know its a dive bar so I keep an open mind. The crowd is not the best. It looks like everyone that dropped out of high school is having a reunion. The music is good. Its loud and Im still ready to give the night a chance. I get into a nail biting pool game where in th end I am the victor which is great! I meet some nice people from huntington beach and spark up a good conversation. My friends decide they want to go to Woody's in newport so we leave early. All and all I had fun while it lasted. If you want a mellow atmosphere where you can dress down and just relax with your girls it's a perfect place. Watch out for loser creepers! read more

What a bunch of idiots!! I had to watch a guy try to fuck the well, and make it my fault. I didn't know gyrating at the bar for three minutes was a protocol enough to shun business off from paying customers, a blonde bartender's attention was so mesmerized, and her dopey co-bartender was so enthralled by the dude.! The guy was obviously a fucking idiot and they loved it. The bartenders and bouncers are losers that think they created the wheel.One bouncer continuously put hands on me afterwards, which I did not provoke. I had to tell him not to put hands on me, and he still tried. Being walked out after telling an intoxicated asshole to excuse me is not it. If you have any taste, or have lived here long enough, don't go! Dorks all of them! read more

The literal pits of the pits. If you're not in there having the roof leak onto you in their dirty seats, then odds are you're busy interacting with their a-hole bouncers and manager. Every time I've given this place a chance I've been astounded by how crappy it is. I had some weird drunk idiot try to walk off with my friends drink and when I stopped him I was flooded by bouncers and ushered out to then have some uninvolved drunk chirp and ultimately come and swing on me.... the people working and going here are complete trash. I was there for some late night drinks after a conference and had to deal with moron after moron. Don't go to this place to spend 1 less dollar on a beer. It's littered with peanut shells and washed up weirdos. read more

Lots of potential if it had a soul. Unfortunately, it ends up being a "locals" hangout minus the locals. We usually end up here cuz the scene is generally weak for Newport dives. Chicks with STDs and really cool and tough bouncers with serious cti factor add to the vibe. The owner hires femmy bus boys to suck roids down in the snow and pick fights while the big bruisers rumble in to get their fix. First hand stories exist with five of these badass meatheads holding a patron down while the buddy-that-sticks-it-in-after beats an innocent guy in the nose because the poor dude had the gaul to stick a mirror in front of the face of the braseph guido. Classy. You should enter MMA. read more

And that's only because you can't give 0 stars. I don't know why this place is so packed on the weekends....yeah, they have like a million different beers there, but so does the grocery store....and the grocery store doesn't have half wiped up puke mixed with saw dust on the floor sticking to the bottom of your shoes...and the smoking section? uh...I thought that everyone had realized how stupid smoking "sections" were by now.....it's a bar where there is lots of cigarette smoke lingering EVERYWHERE. It's full of nasty guys who wear their collared button up shirts, or their clever vintage t's and drink their amber lager, just to go home alone like every other night. read more

Would give this place no stars if I could but Yelp won't let me .....Went to goat hill this weekend and watched a man named jimmy try to pull at 22 year olds top off of her and then say provocative things to her while pulling on her belt loops then grinder on her and after a guy friend said something to him he decided to throw his head into a pole and throw them on the ground. When the establishment was asked to kick him out they said he spends too much money and they decided not to. This place is foul. They don't care about the safety of people just their money. You guys have enough regulars to not let creepy people in. I thought this place was better. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Goat Hill Tavern. The service was incredibly rude -- staff acted like they didn't want to be there, and treated customers with an unwelcoming, dismissive attitude. What's worse, there were moments that felt outright discriminatory, which is unacceptable in any setting, let alone a public business. There's no excuse for racism or disrespectful treatment, and I hope the owner takes this seriously and addresses these issues immediately. A place like this shouldn't be allowed to continue operating as if these behaviors are normal. I won't be coming back until there's real accountability and change. read more

This review is long over due. Not saying when it happened. But it did. My friends and I went to the GHT to hang out. At the time GHT was known for having bouncers on massive amounts of steroids. You know who I'm talking about. Anyway long story short me and my friends are BLACK ! We where racially profiled , bullied by security and beat up and kicked out. Reason for this review is that a place like this has been treating black folk differently for years and years. They thought they got away with it then. But here is the truth now.

Worst experience EVER!!! Staff...Bartenders, Owner, and "Security" were the RUDEST people in a so-called business that I have ever encountered. Some guy grabbed my arm to turn me around and when I told him to get his hands off me he said a few lovely choice words. I told the bouncer and he said "oh that's just so and so...he didn't mean anything by it!" So because this guy knows the "security" I am just supposed to allow him to grab me, cause he did't mean anything by it!! Owner was present with his fat belly hanging out of his trashy button up and said I was free to go somewhere else. The place is disgusting! read more

As long as Ive lived at the beach I still hadnt been to The Goat until last week. I'm more of a HB person but a couple of friends of mine wanted to check it out. Now normally Im more into the club scene rather than the dive bars but this place was pretty cool. The drinks were cheap and they had a large beer selection (yes, Im a girl who likes good beer). I would say its good for a random night out, but I wouldnt go theere all the time. It was def too crowded and the half outdoor/indoor patio was too smokey for my taste. Id go back again, but def would space out my trips lol! read more

Dive bar with mostly 65% 909 Riverside trash and at times you find people dressed nice that walk in or through for a bit to look at some of the Sh* heads. Service is slow and the bouncers have friends that start fights every now and then. Cops roll through parking lot a few times starting at 10 pm and park around the corner WAITING. Bar is nothing really spacial, i guess it use to be more of kewl place to be, they do have a 6'4" asian guy (david) from Brea who's on meghans law that hangs out there and friends with bald punker bartender, i guess that's nothing special just sick. read more
