One of my favorite places to go out on the weekends. Have come here 4-5 times by now and come back because of the good music, which is usually rap mixed in with rnb. The open roof concept on half of the bar is cool as well. Drinks are pretty pricey here, coming out to around $19 per drink w/o tip. Also wish it was a little bigger, as it is packed on weekends and not much place to stand/dance. Also the restroom situation can be improved, there are 8 total restroom stalls for men/women and the line can take upwards of 15 minutes. read more

This was my first time at Mesa, I had expectations of such location but as much as they were met they exceeded... The ambiance was fantastic, the music, the food, and even the bathroom ! I had a few dishes such as the charcuterie, calamari,cauliflower, skirt stake and the burger appetizer. Let me just say when it comes to trying food I'm a bit reserved, but the food was amazing! The chef def got down and did not fail me once will be coming again ! read more

Went here for the first time ever on a Friday night. We reserved a table and came at 10pm on time for the reservation. There was a party ahead of us that didn't want to leave so we ended up waiting an extra 30 min. Luckily they had a little fireplace in the back patio with benches. The hostess came to check up on us and let us know a bottle of champagne was on the house For making us wait. Yay! Right after we were seated in our table. The place was very loud with music, as you should expect. The table we had was 500$ minimum so we just started ordering all kinda of drinks and food. only a few food items were still available at 10pm but they had the pizza and it was delicious! They have a bathroom area where each room is its own bathroom. With a toilet and sink inside. Pretty nice and clean. There were alot of people and it was hard to get through the narrower walkways but over all good place to get a table. read more

Maybe it was because I was there on Wednesday and relatively on the early side...but the service was absolutely phenomenal. From the bartender, to the server (crap! I can't remember their names!), to the new (couple months in) executive chef, Jonathan - who was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his craft. It was really impressive to see the efforts being made to elevate the food program. We had the margarita pizza, salmon, meatballs, and crème brulee...all things I would happily eat again.

Ordered the following : Bone marrow Brussel sprouts Sweet potato fries Blackened Salmon with peas Seared ahi tuna. Everything was delish. My cousin and I are the only one who had dinner because the rest ate already so we just ordered apps. The drinks were good. I had tequila for the night. One straight up with lime and another mezcal drink. Pretty good service with drinks and food. One guy placed his drink out table and caused a "scene". He was escorted to stay away.

NICE AMBIANCE If you're looking for a place to have drinks and to eat this is one of the nicest places to go within Orange County. Best to valet or you can attempt to park on your own in the small parking lot. I only have tried drinks here like a Shirley Temple and Lychee Martini which I recommend both. It's a nice place to host a small mixer or just to come here with a group of friends. There is a much younger crowd here too. read more

Definitely the late night place to be at in OC, especially, during this Covid business. If you're looking for a dive bar and a board shorts kind of place, this isn't the place for you. Now, if you're looking for a lounge with a nice atmosphere, a live dj, crafted cocktails, and some bites to eat then come on in. If you're all about IG worthy photos this is your place from their pretty crafted cocktails to the iconic tree with the open rooftop. Plus, if you get a bottle, the girls will come out w sparklers and bubbles, so you can instagram video away. I suggest making reservations more than a week in advance since they are only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday starting at 9 pm right now. read more

Went to Mesa this past Saturday for a bday dinner. Friend said they have great craft Cocktails and they were right ! Had a Smokey mezcal cucumber strawberry drink was very tasty. after moving from the bar (which music is pretty loud) to the quieter dining area by the fire we were super cozy and comfortable. Girls at the front are friendly and helpful and our server was super sweet. We started with charcuterie boards (1 of each) and they were tasty, and then shared NY strip entree. My husband could've eaten the whole thing so if you're hungry get your own ! Friends had squid ink pasta with calamari- very tasty. Overall this place was cute, hip, trendy good cocktails. read more

An honest review... Pros- Beautiful bar with good ambience, nice sitting areas and booths. Bar seats were very uncomfortable, worn and seemed out of place with rest of decor. Service was excellent and attentive, fast and polite. Cons- Price gouging- Ordered a charcuterie board and cheese board, cost $56 Subpar appetizer, 3 tiny cheeses, decent blue, manchengo and a bland soft cheese. meats were razor thin and sparse, jelly, honey & olive tapenade were also sparse. grapes and a few olives &toast were added. None of these foods were special, certainly not worthy of a $56 price point. Also had glass of house white wine and 2 bottled beers. Total was $126 with tip for this...crazy. Rating- 3* out of 5 , mostly due to ambience and service. This seems to be a place where wealthy people gather to have nice drinks with no care about cost, a little pretentious and a poor value for most people. read more

5 Stars all around! We are a group of 4 ladies. Our server Cristina was amazing, friendly and was on top of it! We started off with cocktails, lychee martini which was delicious and a couple first class. The first class made with gin was so good, we ordered another round! For our meal we had prosciutto & arugula pizza, mesa sliders (super juicy) thick cut fries and crispy Brussels sprouts (flavorful and crisp) which we all shared. We finished up with dessert crème brûlée which was creamy and slightly sweet! We had an amazing experience and to top it off we met Chef Johnathan Vasquez! He provided some small tasters which we enjoyed and advised we will be coming back. The setting is dim and lively. Sorry we didn't get a chance to take photos of the food. read more

We got two margaritas which cost 55.00 total? Watered down not strong full of mix. DRESS CODE IS HORRIBLE! Girls with denim shorts on and old navy flip flops on! We were definitely overdressed for the occasion. A lot of young people here me & my single girlfriends were looking for a grown mature man!

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.

Winters is a curator of boozy information that has helped me learn about "gin" and "root beer whiskey" so I can sound like an adult-ish purveyor, when really I know close to nothing except being a willing student to his creations. Dan the Man and Jacob always see me raise my hand in the corner of the bar, like the student I am, and have been willing to fill in the blanks for me when I know I am of thirst, but do not have the words for what to order. Every person working in the well has treated me with kindness - they have taken the time to get to know me, and I will be forever appreciative of how they have taken care of me over the years. But the real joy has been the transformation that this spot has for building a community of people in Santa Ana for real recognizing real. I have been bringing my Dad with me to play pool for the past few years. Sometimes people ask me if he plays professionally, I am terrible, and my skill incline is slow, he is patient and plays with the same level craftiness that the staff offer the cocktails. My Dad is always stoked when we have time to go have a few hours of games at 616 - especially now that there are regulars on 4th street that are excited to see that he is there playing - and they rush to write their names on the chalkboard to challenge him - or beat him in a game they really earned the W. On lazy Sundays, I watch couples sit with their drink, listening to Jazz, and watching my Dad whoop my ass while making amazing shots. I am forever grateful to Memo who sometimes takes a break from his shift behind the bar to give my dad an actual challenge - which allows me the chance to watch my Dad enjoy fellowship around the table. Knowing the table was a relic of the bars former self, and knowing the history that this spot has in Santa Ana is a reminder that so much around us can change - but it is those moments of the crack of the rack, the cheer of getting the combo shot, and the shake of hands when it's over that shows that it's not just about the pool table - but about the energy of a place that is welcoming and curated by people who care about what they do - and care about who comes through their doors. Thank you Jason and Mike B to bringing this to 4th St and supporting the community that was already here - and for building a community for the future. Thank you to Christina and Brandon for always having amazing pictures, decor, and fun events at 616 that help introduce new folks into this great spot. Time is short. Learn about Root Beer Whiskey. Write your name on the Chalk Board. No one lives forever.

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.

As the night went on Kitsch Bar proves to be the hot spot I've heard about and I agree!

View from my comfy booth listening to beats I can't stop moving to in my seat at Kitsch Bar.

The hostess was friendly, and our server was funny and kind. He was a little less attentive as it got busier, but the staff worked well as a team, so we never had to wait for refills or anything we needed. Parking in the back can be a little tight. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and I loved the inside-out cheese crust. My husband's fajitas were flavorful, although the chicken was a little overdone. The guacamole was excellent, especially with the pepita seeds adding great texture. Overall, we enjoyed the flavorful food, service, and atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!
