We love Kitsch Bar and have always had a good time here, which is why this was so disappointing. The bartender, Sofia, completely ruined the vibe for us. She was rude and came off really disrespectful, and at one point said things that felt degrading. It made my boyfriend so uncomfortable that he actually left and went outside just to get away from it. Instead of calming things down, she got more aggressive and tried to intimidate me and my friend into leaving. She straight up told us to go and wouldn't even let me finish my martini. I had a long week and just wanted to relax, and that moment felt so unnecessary and frustrating. We still love Kitsch Bar, but that experience with Sofia was not okay and definitely left a bad impression. Hopefully it's not something others have to deal with. read more

Loved it! The vibe is dark, laid-back, and cool without being pretentious. Bartenders are friendly, fast, and they actually know how to make a drink. Music changes night to night which keeps things fresh. Whether you're there for karaoke or just some solid classic rock. read more

No food. The bartender was very nice and she let us try a few samples of the beers on tap since we couldn't decide which one to have. It's a cute little bar. Clean and nicely decorated. It was quiet enough to have conversations inside, which is nice. There was karaoke that night but nobody was singing when we were there. read more

Parking is in a shared lot, found some with no issues. Inside has nice decor, dark & a nice vibe. They had a DJ on a Tuesday night which was nice. I got a Moscow mule which was tasty. Service was fast & friendly. read more

Cool place, bartenders are great and really nice. Solid place to start your night, wasn't feeling the music, but the vibe was chill.

It had been years since I popped into the Kitsch bar. I decided to end my 11 month sabbatical from alcohol to do my part to support our local watering holes while everyone else is doing the whole "dry January" BS! I actually didn't know this place had been redone. I liked the old setup but I loved that we were able to sit at the bar. We got to chatting with bartenders Narissa and Britney who were legit the best bartenders I've come across in OC besides Brandi at Ren's Social House in Tustin! If you aren't sure what to order, I recommend you try their signature cocktails because they're delicious! F Brandon is there say what's up to him too! He's super cool. I didn't know they have karaoke here on Wednesday nights so we will be back!!!! read more

Kitsch Bar - The Britney Bitch and La Diabla - Lounges Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Kitsch is one of my favorite bars in Costa Mesa. Perhaps I'm biased because I worked down the street and love the neighborhood. Depends on the day, there's either nowhere to sit or all the tables are open, I forget the name of it he cool bartender who told us how to park when we return and it was nice to have that secret info. Only taking one star off for the day I returned with a friend in the afternoon and a different bartender seemed to overcharge for the drinks. I will be back for sure for one of their events. read more

Stopped into this bar. It had a full parking lot but I still found a spot. The inside is clean and easy to get around. The bar is nice and the drinks are very good. The service was on it when i visited. I have to say you have to try this spot out at least once. Give them a try i am sure you will be back like me. read more

Went here for the first time with my friend and we had a blast. It was a Sunday night so we sang so many karaoke songs and even got a free drink for singing. Juan was our bartender and he was so funny to talk to. There was not a dull moment that night and we even got him to sing a song lol. Our drinks were good too! I was driving so I didn't drink much but my friend drank for the both of us hahaha. read more

Kitsch Bar - Lemon drop - Lounges Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The female bartender is super nice and efficient. This is more of a chill bar, kind of small and cozy, dark. Unisex single bathrooms. In the plaza with insit/the vape store, so going later benefits you more because tight parking. Surprisingly they have an open karaoke night on Sunday with a hostess. The crowd when we went chose a lot of old time classics. I think this is fit for an older crowd or couples who want a chill evening, not too rowdy, floors not sticky, and has a decent selection of drinks rather than a pregame or if you want to go out and drink with friends. They even have a happy hour at night. The bartender is talented in making drinks and this is probably one of the bars where you can build a relationship with the bartenders to experiment with your drinks. We didn't feel pressured or rushed at all. I see they already do this, but if I wanted to attract younger guests, they have a pretty good dj booth set up (maybe like a rnb night or boiler room vibes) w/ special cocktails and adding a photo booth, or partnering with a social club. I would think its quite a bookable venue too. Overall, seems like a bar for the community. read more

Kitsch Bar - Bar :) - Lounges Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Hanging out late in OC and want a low key last stop? This is it. No scene, no stress....just a chill spot with strong drinks that don't mess around. Parking is easy, the vibe is relaxed, and it feels like a place locals actually go instead of somewhere trying too hard. Perfect for ending the night on a smooth, slightly buzzed note instead of a headache. If there ever was a "dive kinda hip bar", this is it. read more

This is hands down my FAVORITE bar in California. Not only is the owner rod absolutely fantastic, but the entire staff is wonderful. I've been coming here for 10 years and never had a bad experience. Great priced drinks, safe, fun, great music, and just a well put together place. 1000000/10 would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Sofia made us the perfect dirty martini. We came pretty early and sat at the bar. Would definitely recommend for an after work drinky with friends. read more

Kitsch Bar - Having fun - Lounges Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Environment was great. Dimly lit and a disco ball over the dance floor displaying great club rotating colors throughout the bar. Clientele was cheerful and diverse all of which proved to be having a great time. Drinks were good and prices were surprisingly low for a night out. Bartenders were friendly and quick. The five stars was difficult to give because I would have preferred a bit more variation in music but that is just a personal preference and I am old at 54 (almost 55 lol) but I did know most of the music and did a lot of couch dancing and could barely keep from getting out on the dance floor. You can dress up or down and fit in. All-in-all this new find was a positive for us. We will be back for sure! read more

It's a diamond in the rough. Juan, the bartender, draws me there. He sets a remarkable example for how to treat the clientele. He's interesting, engaging and has a gift for making exceptional cocktails! The music is diverse and eclectic, very reflective of the atmosphere. It's a unique place to chill out or dance the night away. Juan makes a ridiculously good Gin Old Fashioned! Make sure you pitch yourself up at the bar when he's there. Side note, he has a wicked sense of humor that will have you laughing out loud. read more

Kitsch Bar - Lounges Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

So much fun! Went on a Saturday when they had a DJ playing 2000's R&B and hip-hop. Make sure you have plenty of change as if you lay a $20 down it's hit and miss if they bring back change and drinks are a little pricy. But definitely would go back. Note average age group is probably late 20' to late 40's. read more

I went here alone for karaoke on a Wednesday just a couple weeks before my birthday. I had so much fun I had to come back on the night before my birthday Staff/ bartenders were very kind and inviting immediately upon entry. Great crowd !! I've met some amazing new friends here. Karaoke on Wednesdays gets pretty packed especially around 11-12:30. I still need to go to karaoke Sunday. If you want to practice singing, just jam with friends, grab a drink and meet some incredible people this is the spot to go! Drinks are great! Also not to mention the claw machine in the back and the vibey gothic decor. Love this place. It's tucked away in a little shopping area that has ramen and a nail spa and it's so unassuming- but it's the best place to be! They also have awesome DJs on other nights- I could just go on and on! 15/10 I love this place. read more

Came in had Sophia................ Came back few weeks later Juan. ‍ he is the best. I enjoy his hospitality. .

Looking for a dive bar? Then look no further. Came here on a Saturday night around 9pm and the place had only a few tables taken up, plenty of bar space. Music was really good. 90's hip hop and R&B which is my jam so I was loving it. Sofiea was our bartender and she took great care of us. We ordered a couple of rounds and only told her what spirit we wanted and she whipped up some delicious drinks. Her drinks were a reflection of her and so she made sure we enjoyed our drinks. Pretty cool and hard to find from a bartender these days. Gave us the feel that we were regulars but it was actually our first time here! We will definitely come back. read more

Went in and it's such a vibe! I do NOT know how to seriously order a cocktail... but I wanted to try one. I usually order beer. I asked the bartender Juan, and he didn't make me feel dumb about asking... just asked what I liked and he said... he knew exactly what I would like, and yes! So Delicious! I work nearby so definitely will be coming back and getting the name of that drink! So good! read more

Kitsch Bar - Delicious drink! - Lounges Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Unique decor and ambiance. Good vibes. Friendly bartenders. I was told they don't have a kitchen...but that they have a "Taco guy" who comes often. The night I came, there was a Taco tent set up outside. The tacos were delicious, and reasonably priced. read more

Out Homegirl was djing last Thursday night and it was an absolute blast It's a quaint little place with a busy parking lot so beware but I love that they do have fortaleza. BONUS POINTS! Service was excellent. Shoutout to the bartenders for taking care of us and they have a cool little keg urinal in one of the bathrooms. Very creative! There wasn't any food but we did buy some chips across the street and I brought them in haha! If I'm ever in the area for a dope little dive bar I'm always down to visit. Especially after some manpuku or kitakata. read more

Nar is the BEST bartender and although it's a busy NYE, our glasses are always full. The best bartender ever!!! read more

Nar was an absolute dream. Kept our drinks full and made our night. So much fun for a lowkey easy night

Overcharged and bullied by Juan. Ambiance and bar patrons were great all night, but service was definitely lacking. Juan also under poured every drink I ordered. 1.25 oz is not a shot guy. I didn't mention it because we were trying to have a good time, but i think someone needs to learn their counts if they aren't going to use jiggers. This was my first time at kitsch bar and my last. I'll be sure to let everyone know about the discriminatory service they provide. I'm shocked to see such a high rating on here. Must've been pre-Juan days.. read more

Amazing service and atmosphere! The bartender Sofia greeted us upon entry, and we instantly felt welcomed. We sat down and had a few drinks talking amongst ourselves and other patrons, ultimately having a fantastic time. Absolutely recommend this spot. read more

Found this place on Yelp because it was one block from my hotel. I walk in and they have happy hour til 8 and karaoke too! Where do you get a bottle of beer for $4 in OC?! On top of that an amazing bartender named Britney who also sang great. A very cool small dive bar. read more

Really good bar. Pops off at 1030pm. Dj is on point. Good drinks at good prices. Britts the best bar tender. Espresso martini is a must.

This was my first time here with the girls, and Juan provided the most amazing service from the moment we sat down. He told us some jokes and literally made our night. We will definitely come back on the days he works, because honestly he knows what's up. read more
