My friends have rocked their live music at this place a few times and it was epic! This dive / lounge bar is exactly what you would expect and want! The vibe is always great here and the drinks are even better. But sorry, no food here, bar and lounge only! Definitely worth checking out, especially if you like a good classic dive bar and lounge. read more

April went above and beyond tonight to keep guests her top priority by serving her guest and also keeping a safe environment all around. Thank you girly you sure kick butt tonight. read more

Came for the first time in months and was excited to have been served by April again but to my surprise she was not bartending. Did not like the attitude the new bartender portrayed and decided to leave. Sucked because we come from Riverside. Management please do better at hiring. read more

I went to this bar one Saturday summer evening. I was initially really interested in the concept. Once I got there, I was underwhelmed. It was extremely slow for a Sat night. I don't know if I was there too early or if the bar is suffering due to COVID. The music was good. The DJ was doing the damn thing. The drinks... smh. The bartender seemed not to know what she was doing. They also didn't have a majority of the ingredients needed to make basic cocktails. I literally drank one drink and my friend and I bounced. It's too bad, I feel like this place has potential. read more

Always a fun time! Love the vibe and the music. Drinks are always great tasting too. Bartenders are always friendly and security guards are always looking out! My go to place for a fun time! read more

A cute, chill bar tucked away in Fullerton. Karaoke on Thursdays is so much fun! They have a good drink selection, good music, cute decor & great service. Michael was the bartender for the night and he was the absolute best! Definitely coming back. read more

I'm leaving 3 stars based off of past visits to this bar, not the most recent one. Showed up here with a handful of friends to be blatantly ignored by the bartender who was too occupied with her boyfriend/husband to pay attention to us. Did not catch her name since she never came up to us so all i can do is describe her: very pretty, somewhat tall, black and purple hair, gothic makeup and style. I am so annoyed by the visit that I not only messaged the bar on another social media site but I also made this account to post here. Customer service is paramount in this industry and it did not exist. The bar was EMPTY which I can only guess is due to inferior customer service. We will not be visiting again any time soon. read more

DJ Fellony sucks killed the vibe ...$100 + tab and request one song never came on tipped him still no song he doesn't get the point .....Fuerrrraaaaa we're off read more

The tall staff member w the long hair bussing tables carrying the bucket of syringe shots is the true unsung hero there. He is eccentric and chirpy and super polite and playful with the crowd and you do not see that alot at clubs and bars. He had more good energy and vibes than the bartenders did and it made him stand out enough to come on here and give the guy a good review . If you go here you should tip your bussers for cleaning up your empty glasses and keeping things clean imo. Although we got lukewarm beer that night the staff are a good reason to keep coming back they take care of their people and I appreciate that. To that guy I was talking about keep being your true self your vibrant energy is awesome! read more

It was our first time here. We were welcomed as soon as we came through the doors. Ruby, the bartender, was very sweet and friendly. When asked about their micheladas, Ruby was nice enough to let give us a small sample of the michelada. They are tasty, thank you Ruby for the great service. Definitely will be back ! read more

I had to leave another review to defend Mi Vida, This place is EXACTLY what you want in a neighborhood bar! The drinks are great, the staff is super friendly and the decor is badass! Anyone who talks trash on this place obviously got lost looking for TGIFridays or Islands... when the college kids overcrowd DTF and your looking for a great night out bar hoping- Mi Vida Loca, syndicate bar, Sunset Lounge and Blue Door!

Wasn't a fan of this place. Drinks were decent I guess nothing special. Dj played okay music wasn't really taking any request even though the place was pretty empty and to top it off "the owner" or "manager" whatever he was was wasted and very rude. Not my kind of place. read more

This bar is in a strip mall and doesn't look like much from the outside. The interior is RED and dark, which is nice and helps to have that sexy vibe that some dive bars can pull off. The restrooms are also relatively clean for a dive bar. The reasons this location only gets 4 stars from me is because there wasnt much that separated it from any other bar that you could go to. Not a bad choice, but not a first stop either. read more

Ruby has been the best bartender I've encountered recently. Great hospitality and amazing service!

This bar won't give it's patrons a cup of water... You can pay a 5 dollar cover charge, buy drinks all night, and then when you need a water at the end of it all, it'll be 4 dollars for a bottle water. This place is trashy and a rip off. read more

Service is great. I loved the vibe. There is not much people so we dance comfortable without bumping into each other. Obsessed with the door handles in the restroom !! They don't serve food so you have to eat before going or after. read more

Came in to have a couple of drinks for a birthday party, and it was a good night, drinks were at a very reasonable price and atmosphere was nice. I'd definitely stop by again. read more

Came here on a random Saturday around 10pm my fiends and I wanted to dance. There were 2 people at the bar and three on the dance floor. The DJ played awesome music, but because it was so empty we ended up leaving, and by that time we were the only ones left in there. Gave it a second try a couple weekends later for a friend's birthday and we brought a group of 15. There was an event that night and one of the managers was trying to charge us $20/person. We decided to leave and another manager tried to get us in for free, but they ended up arguing with each other about it and we left. Cool vibes, good DJ, cheap drinks, weird location it's kind of hidden. read more

Love going to Mi Vida Loca Bar for the music, videos, vibes and happy hour drinks. Fun place!

Great music and atmosphere (80ts) but you must be more active with the social media, Facebook, Instagram!

First time back to this location after the new ownership Mi Vida Loca stepped it up to another level definitely a great place to lounge and meet great people Nori was amazing read more

Pleasant night out of course the essence of 80s music was lingering in the background let's just say Mi vida Loca's music essence is just that of it's older sister anarchy library would recommend visiting. read more

If I could give this bar no stars I would. By far one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Some people who seemed to be extremely familiar with the security ended up jumping my friend. Since the security knew them they did nothing to stop it. If you like the possibility of getting jumped or possibly shot then this is the place for you but if you don't i would recommend any other bar. And if the security sees this just know your moms a hoe because of your lack of unprofessionalism , me... A FEMALE got hit too. read more

Pretty cool spot, good music, decent prices on the booze. Dance floor is a good size. Get there if you want a table or a spot to sit. Happy hour ends at 10. Would've gave it 5 stars but the restrooms were pretty nasty. Throw some bleach in that Motherfvcker por favor lol read more

Chose this location as a date night with wife based on location near Downtown Fullerton. Uber there and our first impression was not what we expected. Small spot hidden on a side industrial street. Walked in at around 9:30, got out ids checked and sat at the bar. First impressions off the intertwine was not inviting. Few people and red everywhere. Ask bartender for menu and she said none was available. So she asked what we felt like drinking, our first two choices were a no go, so we settled for a margarita and Cadillac. Wife liked margarita but my Cadillac was also a margarita. They don't have draft beers so we had to look at the display bottles on counter to see if our choice was available, luckily XX was available, so we ordered 2. The lime was old and dry so I tossed behind the bar, hoping not to get caught. As the night progressed, wife and I noticed that we were over dressed, my wife with her high heels and me with my collar shirt, everyone else seemed to coordinate with flannel shirts and plain t-shirts. As patrons arrived, we noticed a trend. It was Emo night. DJ played 2 good songs that brought people to the dance floor but rear of the night was punk music. DJ was in his own world, pretending to work by turning knobs on his table. Not a good date night spot because of loud punk music, wife and I had to speak in each others ears to communicate. I don't know but I though a spot with the name Mi Vida Loca would play more Chicano or old school music not loud punk rock. Would I come back??? No. Would I recommend this spot??? No!! read more

Bar- The drinks showing on the pictures like el cucuy, etc are not being made or atleast when I asked the bartender he said they don't make them. He was dry and but he did serve a strong drink. The girl bartender I ordered later with was friendly but her drinks were weak. She didn't measure it and it wasn't a "three second pour". Location- Discreet. Go in through back entrance and they created a patio area in the back and by the time I left there was a food truck. Now that I found awesome! Indoor- it has a vibe to it, dark, dimmed, decorated with darkness in mind, it's hard to tell because it is dark but once you order your drinks you can see the attention to details. They also have siting area: around the wall, in the back which almost looks like a bottle service area with a step up and excluded, then when you walk in to the left they have a sitting area with a couple of tables, also cute and not near the dance floor. Dance floor- dance floor area is decent , not too small but big enough people can dance. And that's what I liked about this place, I was able to dance. The music was okay, they played mostly rock, a variation of rock and pop but mostly rock. The vibe and the people are in the rock theme. So as soon as I saw that when I came in I knew there wasn't going to be much of anything else. My friend wanted to leave but I convinced him to stay and a couple right before us, walked in took a look and left. So when I went it, it made sense. If you are into the top 40, hip hop vibe, ratchet vibe, twerking vibe lol this place is NOT for you. You won't see any of that here. It's an older crowd, rockers, not really a downtown Fullerton vibe. But if you know how to have a good time , you will. Everyone was cool, mind their business and everyone was just there chillin, dancing and there for a good time so that's always a vibe. Anyways for those people like me trying to find local business open that you can drink, party and enjoy... I recommend this one. Check out my YouTube channel for the footage. read more

Place was a good spot, as some of the reviews say it's pretty slow for a Saturday, but i didn't mind that. They had a Taco truck outside which was just a plus. The Bartender was so nice and attentive. If you want a lowkey spot for a few drinks and some good music, try it out. read more

This lounge is awesome, the staff are great and DJ bLok has the best music. I miss when they had 80s and spanish on Saturdays. Not a fan of it being just spanish. Especially when they have Anarchy Library playing the same music the same days. However, the ambiance is one of a kind. It really almost filled the void of Anarchy when it was closed during covid. read more

First time here and I see plenty of potential. Found out it's the same owners of Anarchy so they know what's up! Came in on a Wednesday night which happened to be Live Band Karaoke night and got to sing Rick James & System of a Down with a backing band, and I got to rock out to someone else singing Alanis Morisette!!! Fuck yeah!!! read more

Unless you like GOTICH atmosphere Not place for you.... it's way to dark and red..feels creepy when you walk in. Not a fan ....womens bathroom door handle is shaped as a penis!!! That's crazy offensive...NOT COMING BACK Wouldn't recommend read more

Absolutely loved this place, amazing decor.. You can really tell that they took their time to make this place look special. The music is awesome, they even have karaoke ;) I noticed in the restroom they have some pretty cool door handles hahahaha, all to make the place more unique. Love it!! will definitely be coming back. read more

Love this place! Been here twice. Music doesn't disappoint, drink specials, yummy cocktails, staff super friendly. Not sure what Sandy Q. meant by GOTICH but maybe she should have used her mouth to open the door handle. Environment is definitely alternative! Highly recommended!! Live music, karaoke with a band, DJ etc. Small and intimate. read more

The bouncer here is the best Ive met by far. All of the staff here are friendly people. I highly recommend the vampira cocktail (ask the bartender why he named it that). Como la flor is a great drink to sip on. El cucuy will getcha! good happy hour deals and good vibes. Good place to come to. Reminds me alot of Alex's bar in long beach. read more
