I've been coming here since 2022, and I've always felt welcomed and well taken care of by the staff. They always have great live music, delicious food, and excellent drinks. I've met so many friendly faces over the years who have now become good friends! Every time I go, I always request Aspen as my server. She always has a smile on her face, a great personality, and makes every visit even better. The staff, atmosphere, food, drinks, and live music are all reasons I keep coming back. It truly feels like a second home! read more

Our Place is definitely my kind of place! I can never say no to a good dive. My husband and I stopped in mid day on the 4th of July. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty busy for being a holiday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We each had a coors light. The guys next to us had a special patriotic looking drink. I wish I could have stayed and had one. I will definitely come back and try the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is a good ol fashioned neighborhood dive bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our place is a fun, local bar with live music, karaoke, and great food! Aspen is our favorite cocktail waitress, she definitely makes it more fun. Something different each day/ night, and something for everyone. Everyone that comes here has become like family to alot of us. read more

This is a great place where service is outstanding and staff know your name! Aspen stands out. The bar can be packed but she manages to be everywhere at once making sure her customers get served. The bartenders make you feel welcome. I'm always impressed with the caliber of bands that perform. I love Creedence and Company with Mario as lead singer. This is definitely my "neighborhood" bar. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the local "Cheers". Very friendly people and always live music on weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had a good menu too

Local watering hole with food and drinks. Love the live music nights. Aspen is one of the best servers I have met and is fast. Always gets my order right and sometimes I can be picky, ha. She is attentive, kind and always has a smile as she floats around the bar/restaurant helping everyone out! Go say hi! read more

Such a gem and go-to restaurant in the area! The view is amazing. Food is fantastic. Drinks are lovely. Service is excellent. We sat outdoors and got to enjoy the wonderful temperature and view. We were a big group and we got to try out a variety of appetizers and entrees.. For starters we got the nachos, calamari, and bread. The steaks were perfectly grilled! The pork chop was tasty and tender. Fish and chips were spot on. Delish! read more

I randomly went into this place with my boyfriend and was soooo pleasantly surprised by the service and food! Our server Aspen was absolutely incredible! She was not only super friendly, fast but she also knew the best things to recommend on the menu I can't wait to come again! She was wonderful!!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love Our Place! It's our go-to spot for fun vibes, great service, and something different every night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The entire team works incredibly hard, and it shows. On a busy weekend night, you'll find Aspen running around making sure everyone has a drink in hand, all while chatting with customers and keeping a smile on her face. Behind the bar, Brandi, Jo or/and Bryce make delicious cocktails with impressive speed and accuracy. Honestly, I don't think they have a bad employee, and I'm pretty sure I've met them all at least once! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone contributes to the welcoming, fun atmosphere that keeps us coming back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh, almost forgot to mention how bomb the food is! Not your regular bar food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We literally go there for family dinner early in the evening at times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our place is 2 nd home away from home the food is excellent, entertainment 2 thumbs up, [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance, great crowd in the customers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and above all the staff from cook (Alberto and GEO) , bartenders( Crystal ,Heather ,Bryce ,Kat) and the ever so carasmatic sweet and friendly waitresses Aspen Komski and Yummi I can't get enough of the positive vibes every time, looking forward to seeing you all soon. read more

Had a great band and the food was good plus the service. Friendly staff and food was hot and tasty.

This was my second trivia night here and it keeps getting better every time. Huge shout-out to Bryce the Barman, he truly stands out. Bryce is incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming, remembers faces, checks in at the right moments and keeps the energy upbeat without ever being overbearing. He's the kind of bartender that makes you want to come back because you feel taken care of and appreciated. Jo was also great and added to the warm, inviting atmosphere, but Bryce really anchors the experience behind the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The crowd during trivia is always fun and lively, which makes the night fly by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burger was excellent juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right and the menu is moderately priced, especially considering the quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it's a fantastic neighborhood spot with great service, good food, and a welcoming vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bryce alone is worth the visit, and I'll definitely be back again. read more

On a day off from work, or even after work, I try to hangout at a bar or restaurant. Then one day which was two weeks ago, I've decided to go out of the area to hang out and have a drink at a place called Our Place. Located in Lake Forest (Orange County). It's a OC version of Cheers. Except, Sam Malone doesn't even work here, and Norm Peterson doesn't even come here for drink. LOL. I came here 2 Fridays ago to some drink. When I came inside, I saw there's a live band playing which is happening on Fridays and Saturdays. It was packed last night. I had myself a jack and coke, and enjoy some great music. The guy who made my drink that night is the owner I think. Great guy. Then last week (Wednesday), I came here again for food and drink. I got a Tater Kegs and their special which was Chicken Alfredo fettuccini (I think it what it was). Food was soooo tasty. Not too bad at all. Oh, and I got my jack and coke. Service was super friendly. Very cool people to talk to. I just need to know everyone their name. Overall, this is a great bar to go to. And if you go here long enough, everyone will know your name. 5 stars. read more

Friendly local neighborhood bar located in Lake Forest. They have a variety of fun events each day of the month ranging from karaoke, live music, DJ nights, taco Tuesdays, trivia, game viewing parties, to even drag bingo - something for everyone! Delicious food menu that rotates daily, fully stocked bar, and everything is very reasonably priced especially for OC. Extra plus is they have lots of parking and a ton of Tesla superchargers that are never full. read more

This is the best damn bar in OC. The food has no right being as good as it is. You'd expect bar food to be passable but it's legit delicious. The bartenders are super nice and always attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have good vibes at the spot and a nice big outside patio area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean bathrooms and they have really good house music Tuesday's.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Me and my wife and friend enjoyed the steak tips sandwich (but only order it w just steak , no soggy fixins !) and fried fish and outstanding steak fries White wine and margaritas very satisfying , as well Server is a one - woman band but I think our place needs one more server to handle a big crowd ! Talking about bands and music ~ [[HIGHLIGHT]]Karaoke as always on the money and on- key but the vocal needs to be boosted up about 25% - the happy patrons can get ....ebullient ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super small inside and they unfortunately allow all the inside tables (literally less than 10) be reserved so when we popped into grab some food and drinks most of the tables were empty but had reserved labels on them (not a special event either)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Surprised with such a small venue they would allow people to hold tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Won't try again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Literally the most fun and comforting divey bar Ive ever been in!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff here (Kat, Joe, Brandi, Cliff, everyone) is amazing and [[HIGHLIGHT]]John and Cobra Karaoke is on another level.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Heavy pours, great energy, and a "Cheers" like atmosphere. I just discovered this place a few weeks ago and find a reason to come here almost every night! Also, if you have Chicago in your blood, this is the place for you! read more

Went here to see Sugarmill Slim and grabbed a bite beforehand. The food was actually really good! (Ya never really know what you're gonna get at some venues) I was so pleasantly surprised! The service was absolutely amazing - she was so fantastic, just nice and attentive but not hovering. I NEVER had to ask for anything, she was right there at the perfect time! The vibe of the place was welcoming and you could tell they it didn't matter your age or music genre you prefer, it just felt good and like home. We'll be back for sure! read more

All bartenders are wonderful!! Great food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great job Heather, Crystal, Kat, Leeann, Jo. And anyone else I missed! read more

Great place, love the people and the vibes! Come by on Tuesdays, there's awesome local DJs every week!

My DH wanted to come here for a trivia night. We met up with some friends and had a great time answering questions and filling up on bar food. My DH and I ate ahead of time so we weren't particularly hungry. We opted for the loaded tots and some waters while we played the trivia. Our friends ordered the mac & cheese along with the fish & chips. We placed atrociously last in trivia but apparently last place also got to take weird blue shots with the trivia master. Our server was great about splitting our bill and she was on it when it came to food and drinks. If you're looking for a good time, check out Our Place for their specials and events. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a neighborhood bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Probably not going back. Nothing horrible but nothing worth talking about. My wife ordered a high noon and it was $10. A little sticker shock for sure for the atmosphere. read more

Great karaoke and food on Wednesdays! Nice chill vibe! Thank you KJ! I wish the kitchen was open later

Nice neighborhood dive bar, good atmosphere with live music. Food was surprising for a bar and was delicious! Definitely give it a try and look out for their specialty $6 shots! read more

Walked in here had a great experience. The bartender is the best. Heather is extremely fun and welcoming. Ask for a blue 22 make sure Heather makes it for you. It is definitely my new favorite drink and I will be coming back more often. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this place!! Its great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this bar! Im obsessed!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Joe the bartender is awesome! read more

The food is good for a drive bar. The drinks are hit or miss - when you can get one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is packed. Standing room only on weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It makes sense to most everyone in there (yes, we are all friendly) that more than one bartender & more than one waitress would be a good business decision. More $$$ for the owner if more drinks are served. Another helpful tip, keep the staff moving & aware of waiting customers with no or empty drinks & not outside vaping. Just thoughts. read more

Well, crazy to say this in 2024, but my black girlfriend and I were just denied service in this bar while charging our EV truck because we "looked weird." Literally the only difference between us and the other 5 patrons in the bar was that the color of our skin was dark. There was no explanation, and she proceeds to ask us to leave before we could even sit down. We're from Anaheim, and we have never experienced such blatant racism from a bartender like this at any establishment. We will never be returning and we suggest you stay as far away from the racist blonde bartender here as you can get. -1 star for racism read more

Food was good. French fries excellent. Super nice owner who made sure everything was right.

We come here once in awhile for Sunday Music & a bit of bar hopping. Today Sunday June 8th was fun. I have to say when we do come in here, Heather is always amazing! Im in the industry & she can handle, nice & personable! Love her. We always order the sliders which is perfect for two people. Order steak fries instead of shoestring! read more
