Holy cow the burgers. Good food & outdoor patio area down in the surf ghetto and industrial area. Fries spectacular, and not a pile, decent price for the regular Joe's and Josephine's. This is a good lunch place if you want a burger and a beer, and seems like a fun place to tie one on in the evenings too. Chelsea's cool, she's the front bar matron, she takes care of the place, the guys cooking, they cook like the wind. The aint fast food. This is grindy Friday lunch food. Do you recall the outdoor patio/smoking area. I don't smoke cigarettes, yet I still appreciate that space. read more

Food was good. Went to watch the Dodger game. Was able to do that on one of their many TV's. I was visiting San Clemente and I will be often now and plan on going back to this place to eat and play some pool! read more

I've been playing pool at your establishment for decades. All of a sudden your new bouncer accuses me of misbehavior. I've never been so offended. I spoke words for literal seconds before being scolded, saying someone conplained about me. There was no time for any complaint. I've never been so offended and the bartender "backed" the "bouncer". read more

I cannot say enough about this business. It is very well run; food, envinronment and service hit on all cylinders. I have enjoyed the burgers for years and most people don't know how great the food is. read more

Love this place! This is not fancy, but FUN with great bar food and strong drinks. The pool tables and bartenders are FUN! Decor is true bar-style with bar and island seating. Love this place with friends for a fun night out! read more

We're giving mulligans 5 stars. Yes a 5 star rating. Now this is for what it is. It's a dive bar that serves INCREDIBLE food. Not your normal dive bar food. They're always extremely friendly inside and they take care of you. The food comes out slow but worth every second of the wait. Cheers! read more

Came here to get smashed. 6 Makers and coke later and my whistle was wet. Now I need to go back and have some burgers. Lots of little pool tables and it had a fun atmosphere. read more

Burger was fantastic! Local bar and nothing fancy but the salad and our burger were excellent! Calvin was our bartender! Friendly and the service was great! We've been here 3 times and every time we've enjoyed it. We don't get to San Clemente often but when we do we prefer coming here to the swanky bars in this town. Prices are very reasonable also! Definitely a bunch of locals but they make you feel very welcome! Great place to watch sports also. We will be back! Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I met up with another couple to watch the UCLA game on Friday. Turns out they were also showing the Tyson fight so it was real Two-Fer! The place is very divey, in a good way. Easy to park, no cover, and the staff was amazing all night. Eclectic crowd from US Marines to locals to gays to old dudes like us. Super cheap drink specials, great burgers and fries, clean bathrooms and lots of TVs to catch what you are looking for. Again, the staff was very kind and helpful all night. read more

We enjoyed Mulligan's, the Animal burger I had was delicious, messy but really good. The margarita was well made and not too sweet, the place was super crowded and very little table seating, so we got very lucky to find a spot. read more

Bartenders skipped the song I paid $2 to listen to on touch tunes... felt pretty unfair....

Mulligan's is my absolute favorite! Bartenders and food are wonderful. Always a great time at Mulligan's!

We sat down for 15 minutes and was not given any attention. I watched the bartenders sit back and chat with the regulars. It was not busy at all. Do not go here. read more

It's worth a second look... aka a mulligan. Good bar fare without the awkward ambiance you can get from a meat market bar. Fair prices abs everything you need for a good time. read more

The wife and I have lived in SC for 22 years and we always heard Mulligan's had great burgers. Finally, in the week of my 60th birthday celebrations I wanted to go to Mulligans to try it out. Heads up, I am bummed I did not take any pictures. We showed up and there were quite a few people and I was surprised as it was Tuesday around noon. We got our menus from a very nice server called June. I did not see the huge signs that said "order at the bar". Once I figured that out we placed our order for beers and burgers. I got the basic burger and added American cheese, along with the standard lettuce, tomato and onion. The wife got the animal style burger. A coupe of on-tap Bud Lights rounded out the meal. The burgers took some time to come out. I expected this from Yelp reviews and from the website that noted they have a small kitchen. No worries, we were in no hurry and enjoyed our beers. June did mention that she appreciated our patience. All good. Burgers came out and they were hot and the fries were piping hot. Fries were freaking great. Not sure the seasoning but it was so tasty. I ate the entire fries serving before tackling the burger. I am not a ranch person, but their homemade ranch was spot on. The wife took the rest of the ranch I did not use. She loves ranch. Now to the burger. Looked great, had a knife through the whole thing holding a nice slice of pickle on the top. First bite of the burger was great with a crunchy outside of the patty and juicy interior. I added some mustard and looking back I should have added mayo or thousand island when I ordered. The wife loved the animal style burger. All good and will go back to try the western burger and patty melt. Also the wings and other things. Free pool play is cool. I'll be back with my golf buds to have lunch and play pool. BTW, my last name is the same as the bar, but I am not related to them. Just a fun fact. Go. Eat Well. Have Fun!! read more

Went to check this place out on a Saturday night. They have some pool tables (free) in the main room along with a jukebox (TouchTunes). There's a smaller room that has more pool tables and a corner shelf full of board games. The drinks were good and I didn't expect for the food to be so good. They have a lot of good specialty burgers on the menu or you could build your own. I went with the animal style burger and it was scrumptious. read more

We where on a So. Cal trip for the Newport Beach Jazz festival with a broken foot using a scooter and wanted to find a place to watch the 1st NBA finals playoff game. We used Yelp and settled on this place based on the photos. The food looked good and it was very good! The staff was nice and accommodating as they moved a high back bar chair to the table so that I could sit comfortably and use the high table chair to elevate my foot. The wings where good, the burgers, onion rings, salad and the wrap sandwich too. The bar was kind of dive bar, with lots of pool tables, tv screens and a full bar. We liked the food so much we returned on our last evening and ordered takeout to eat as we packed for our last day and return flight. I also loved the artwork on the walls.' If you want a low key spot to enjoy a drink, a bit to eat, a game or two of pool and various sports on monitors through out the room, check this place. read more

Drove 3 hours to try the chipotle burger a buddy of mine told me about, that burger slaps harder then a catholic nun in Sunday school... Highly recommend. Great atmosphere, service and all of a great dive bar. Night-time patrons are kind of dicks, but other than that, 6/10. read more

My son took us here while we were in town. The guys in the kitchen know what they're doing.. I tried the buffalo chicken wrap, patty melt, a burger, and fries with their house ranch and it was all delicious. Calvin and Carter were perfect hosts. They take care of my kid and even keep his coffee mug ready to go. Friendly and fun group. I recommend checking it out and having a lime vodka and cranberry for me. read more

Food, staff and patrons really great! Had a fun time and will definitely go back. Free pool and ping pong tables. Lots of fun, nice people!

My local favorite.... do not pass up despite its dive bar appearance. The ABC Burger is the BEST in San Clemente!!!! Taco Tuesdays are a hit but ABC w Tots is my go to.... Free pool and great vibes... Love this place read more

Been coming here as a regular for years and they never disappoint. Favorite spot to play pool, get some drinks, and run into some pals. The bartenders are excellent and I'd choose my spot Mulligans over anywhere else Love you guys read more

This has got to be one of my favorite San Clemente bars. This just has a classic bar feel to it where it's not too fancy. They had pool and ping pong when we went so we had a great time having a drink. The service was good, the bartender made our drinks really quickly and was happy to help anytime we needed something. read more

I come from Wisconsin and this place gives off local Wisconsin bar vibes.(if you're into that stuff) Drinks were pretty good, food was OK except I came to California on a four day vacation and on the first day we ate here and my girlfriend got food poisoning from the chicken. so womp womp. Service was good though. Go for the drinks and sports bar vibe but not the food. read more

First time here. Coming from Los Angeles. Chill spot for friends and drinks and good vibes. Drinks on tap are cold and ready to go. Chelsea and Chris thanks! Onion rings and wings are on point! Very comfortable seating near the bar area. read more

Amazing food! Great bar but a place to go enjoy affordable food! Burgers are the best in town! So fresh and delicious

We were meeting our son for a late dinner, not too many options because places here close early during the week. This place is open late and food is delicious, but it's a little of a challenging wait time... last night they were very busy and we waited for over 50 minutes, maybe the chef needs some helpers! ~ Bar is full of pool tables and a ping pong table and not so much for dining tables, outdoor patio is for smokers. Nice and friendly staff. ~ We went back for another late dinner with our son, this time we ordered the "Shelley's burger" wow, it's delicious for sure! Our son ordered the same, chicken breast sandwich because he enjoyed it the first time! June and Lars are great bartenders, super attentive and friendly. Love the atmosphere, is full of nice happy locals... ; ~?Food came out much quicker and they were "much" delicious! read more

Great time at Mulligan's. Watched football, had excellent wings & ice cold beer. Bartenders were awesome...very attentive!

I used to come here a lot in from 2019-2021. Had great time with my family, the pretzel bites were good

We tried this place for Sunday football and had a great time! They have good beer specials and the food is really good. They have typical bar food, chicken strips, fries, tots, wings, etc. but everything we ordered was really good. The wing sauce chipotle ranch comes highly recommended. The menu was quite large and next time we will for sure try the burgers. They looked really good and the bartender said they are known for them. Tons of options and really good prices. The place itself is pretty big and has pool tables and ping pong. Super fun place for football and would be fun at night. It was decently busy for the afternoon games but not too bad in the morning. If you are looking for a fun football spot, I would definitely try mulligans! read more

Legit burgers! Western and build your own with their sides. Excellent house made thousand! Wanted to enjoy dinner with a little AC and stumbled across this place. Tons of TVs if your a sports fan like my hubby. First time I've been in a sports bar in decades. Pool tables galore between the two room restaurant. Got lucky with parking lot next to pocket park. Place got busy after we grabbed a table. Order at the bar and a handheld buzzer goes off when ready. They had a special that you could build your own burger for $9.75 with alcohol purchase. Twist my arm! We will be back for the burger again! read more

I have now been here a couple of times on my travels down to southern Orange County. The service is outstanding. My bartenders were very attentive without being pushy. The food is great too. A better value than what I used to in Santa Barbara. I will be back. It had just the right feel for me. A lot of TVs with unobstructed views and it was very casual and comfortable. The crowd was a solid mix of old and young people. read more

My friend and I were plein air painting outside of Mulligans, and we got real hungry, so I dove into this (ahem) dive and I told the bar keeper that I just want to order 2 basic burgers to go. He gave me the menu, and I was floored! They have SO MANY burgers to choose from! I just wanted the basics and no fries, (they jump right onto my thighs) so, no no no. Anyhow - after about 15 minutes I picked up my order, and my artist friend and I ate the burgers outside - on the bench at the park. The burgers were hot, juicy and delicious and HUGE!!!! My friend could only eat half of hers, and I ate the whole thing - it was so GOOD! Mulligans is super chill, everyone in there said hi to me. Super nice place - you have to come over here soon, people!!! I hear that they have a painting of Godzilla hanging on the walls over there, so I'll definitely head on back to look at it!!! read more
