i came to this bar thinking that this was going to be an average bar with average service and an all around typical night out at your run of the mill bars... but now that i've spent time here, and i was only planning on staying for one beer, well i have found a bar to truly call home. the people and regulars were so friendly and made me feel right at home, and the atmosphere was so profoundly impactful that words will never do justice to the credit that this gathering place deserves. the service was hands down impeccable... the feeling i have after spending the night with the wonderful people here for the night is so amazingly unique to my senses that i find myself speechless to describe the joy that i am leaving with. alexis... i can't even express my gratitude for making this more than a night out... she made it into a memory that will be cherished long after this night has ended. and chris will put a smile on even the most saddened of faces. they have gave me something that i havent found in life or people in general in a long time... they made me feel welcome and that no matter what life brings your way... you will have an ear to listen to you and genuinely care about what you are going through... a shoulder to lean on, and a friendship that is so much more than a bartender and patron relationship. 5 stars ( ha...) as if that were even close to enough...!!! get in here and see for yourself. i guarantee you will leave feeling better than you've felt in a long time... hands down the best bar in fountain valley. i stake my oath on it. 5 only because that's all the stars that they offer to give or it would be more. come see and feel for yourself. best night ever...!!! read more

Stopped by here for a quick solo pregame before heading out to a coworker birthday. Sat right at the bar and tended to immediately. The bartender was friendly and came with my beer fast. She asked if I was fine often and tended to the entire bar which had many people. I came here on a Friday night and it was very lively. I was driving around the area for a while looking for a bar to post up for almost thirty minutes. I am happy that I found this place and decided to come. read more

Was looking for a place to shoot some billiards and dropped in on a Thursday night. Both the staff AND guests were so welcoming and friendly! We ended up staying all night and had the best time! The sound system was great and you can select songs with their jutebox app. There are 3 small billiard tables, $1 per game or $10 per hour. They have a fully stocked bar and electronic dart boards. Bathrooms were clean and there was ample parking. Definitely will be back! read more

Just moved into the area. Wanted to find a new water home Rude bartender, female brunette with long hair, didn't say hi; seemed annoyed I was ordering a drink with her. Maybe she was having a bad day? Would rather go somewhere else. I think he hates her job lol read more

Great place for drinks, sports, pool and darts. Great service and fun atmosphere. You should check it out

Use to love this place when I was a regular for Stumble in and what ever it was before. At the end and once they sold. The pool and dart league regulars acted like they owned the bar. The bartenders were their friends and let them start shit with customers and run it like their own personal club. Stopped coming here after that. Was a cool little quiet dive bar. read more

Stopped by a few weeks ago to watch the Seahawks Rams game and I was very happy with my experience! It was affordable, had a fun but chill vibe, and as a woman in my early twenties I felt completely safe. I will definitely be back. read more

The good: cheap drinks and they don't skimp on the alcohol The bad: the bartender was telling us how sick she's been and can't kick whatever it was she had but she's at work breathing on everyone. read more

Fun, relaxing place for a few drinks. Billiards, darts, plenty of TVs with all the games on. Hope was my bartender, she's very cool. Come check it out! RonDawg read more

Nice enough spot. Lots of room although they do try and pack a couple of tables into the corners despite the huge amount of room by the dart boards. Tables are 7 footers and diamond so nice enough. Cloth is in pretty good condition. Drink selection is about average as is pricing although the first drink I got seemed a bit watered down. People are gregarious and not shy. Keep your expectations in check as it is sort of a dive bar but, as they go, a pretty good one. read more

Good vibe, super chill great staff . Dart machines are fun ... just cool place to hang any day of the week.

Came here with my husband to play some pool and have beer. Bartender was nice, beer was a little overpriced. The issue was the bathroom....The second time I went to use the WOMENS bathroom, it was occupied by one the workers (chris) a MAN in the ladies room. He came out saw me waiting and said "oh, let me get some spray"....seriously, what is wrong with the men's room. There is a stall and a urinal which we're working fine, my husband was In there twice, no problems. When I told my husband we called to complain and Chris answered the phone, he didn't seem to care, he said the men's room was out of order. Well I call BULLSHIT!! He was rude and didn't really care, he said he would tell the owner, but I call bullshit on that also. Chris is an asshole, who should be fired. Your a MAN stay out of the women's bathroom fool. Never will I go here again, shitty hole on the wall bar!! read more

This place is great for chill low key bar. Service was incredible and drinks were on point. I will definitely be coming back.

Like the vibe here. Thursdays lately they have sushi served by an outstanding sushi chef. Pool tables and friendly staff here make it a nice place to visit after work and parking is easy in the strip mall late evening read more

Cool and chill back place to get some cold drinks and meet friends, taco Tuesday is a must, it's good

Great local bar the bartender was super cool very friendly people. They have lots of TVs pool tables and dartboards nice size place. Going to be a great spot to watch the football games.. read more

Friendly staff and locals. Good prices. Easy parking. Food was from a bbq truck outside that looked good but we didn't order any.

Yelp reads open till 2, big sign outside reads open till 2a, walk in at 11:57 and get "sorry we're closed". A few people are still inside as I'm writing this and a big neon "open" is lit up. Wanted to run a few racks of pool, oh well. Not sure what's going on with this place, I'm guessing the bartender guy wanted to go home early on a slow night. Some guy walked in right after me and he's still inside not sure if he works there. Super odd and unprofessional. read more

I've been looking for inexpensive simple street tacos, so I came in for Taco Tuesday. It appears that The Boardroom has partnered with a local company to make the tacos. $2 each and I ate 9 of them, they were pretty phenomenal. The tacos were found out in the back and cash only but there is an ATM inside the bar. The bar is going through some renovations and upgrades, but still has a very laid back atmosphere. Certainly an improvement. Very nice for unwinding after a long day of work on a Tuesday afternoon. $5 PBR tall cans for Tuesday's happy hour. Bartenders were pleasant and provided booze when requested... doesn't get better than that. Look forward for the remodel progress they make here and will definitely be back. As a side note - the pool table we were using jammed here and there. The owner was aware of this issue and quite attentive. When it happened, I didn't have to go look for someone to help us. She explained that she knew of the problem and it's being worked on as part of the renovation. She was nice, cleared it for us and apologized. Being thanked for our patience is rather rare nowadays and actually improved my night rather than hindered it. read more

Very friendly vibe! A variety of ages and locals as well as visitors from far away visiting family in the area. We came here to catch some sports on TV and saddled up in the morning and left later afternoon! Great vibe n service the bartender was friendly with all and we will come back read more

We had a great experience with our bartender Bri but the bartender Chris got aggressive with our friend for no reason. He was just mean and trying to fight our friend for no reason. This NEEDS to be fixed. This would have been a great experience if Chris wasn't there. read more

Months ago I found out this local bar now has full alcohol. Came in to check it out and it's become my new cheers. All the bartenders are amazing. Catlyn is so good I seek her out. (Not creepy) lol. I'm Actually a bar owner myself so I know a great place when I find it. The new owner Heather is a doll herself and truly cares about this place. Come out and support this hidden Jem. read more

Place is alright but service is trash. Girls behind bar taking shots & chitchatting for over 5 mins before coming to serve us Kept my change & had to ask for it back so we could play darts Bull shooter camera did not work Then stepped outside for a cigarette & was ID'd again Just little things that make a big difference. read more

Good location and drinks. No food available yet. Tv's available - I was able to see my baseball teams play :) You can order food or bring some with you. Lots of space and friendly staff. read more

My friends and I had the best Sunday night tonight at OC Boardroom! The crowd is chill and at the same time really fun! The bartender is super cute and we never had to wait for a drink! Great service!! I will definitely be back! read more

I walked in and went to the bar and the bartender came straight to me. I was so shocked cuz she was the only one handling the full bar! Impressed! I only needed to use the ATM and was so intimidated to all the men in here so I will have to come back with more girl friends next time. This bar could use a little diversity in gender lol See you soon! read more

Just started to come here again since the new owners got the joint. Its much different/better. The girls are all sweet. Lacy is the bestest. I come see her bc she makes me and everyone else there smile and forget that they were having a bad day, not to mention she makes crazy creations like jalapeno pineapple margaritas from scratch. Catch her there on Monday Tuesday Wednesday @ 11. Promise u wont regret it. ;) read more

At 70 years of age, I heard these words from the new owner of this establishment: "I don't appreciate your comment on Facebook. I no longer want your business". All because I was critical of some of the changes she made. I was not given the opportunity to explain myself, so, I find myself thrown out of a bar for the first time in my life. Thin skin? Don't take any criticism? No problem, Heather. I'll just wish you better luck in your human interaction skills. read more

Couldn't ask for a more cozy little corner LITERALLY :) Hopefully you get Nicole bartending when you come! She's super sweet and always makes sure you have a drink in hand. So happy we discovered this hidden gem, can't wait to see what they do with this place! read more

The Boardroom is the business next door to mine, I never used to go in there but now I try to swing by daily. The place is so much cleaner than the old Ed's Stumble Inn. Heather has really done a nice job cleaning and upgrading the bar. The staff are really friendly and the leagues she's bringing in are making this the place to be. If you haven't tried out the Boardroom, you're missing out. oh yeah the hot dogs are great! read more

This place is great! Great bartenders and good times. Came here to get away from the restrictive LA County BS

The Boardroom is a great up and coming Dive Bar in Fountain Valley. Heather, the owner, has really brought this place from a local dump to a nice, remodeled bar that's nice to hang out at. With all the televisions to watch sports, the selection in beer, wine and cocktails, what more could you ask for? Then there's the nice bartenders. They're all very friendly but Nicole really stands out. She's been there since they opened last year and knows the customers very well. I will continue to be a fan of this bar for the atmosphere and friendly service. Thank you Heather!! I would also like to compliment Carin. Helping Heather at the Boardroom plus working another job, she's ALWAYS in great spirits. Very friendly and outstanding service!! Thank You Carin!! read more

The wine on tap is fresh, chilled and delicious! This is not a place I'd take my mom but I'd take your mom here in a heartbeat.

First time here and Chris made us feel super welcome and explained how the pool tables and darts worked. Maria (?) was also really friendly. A relaxing atmosphere and the locals were all really nice. Good selection of beers. Will definitely go back. read more
