Great new find in the OC! Reminds me a little bit of Yancy's Saloon in SF. Decent sized bar with pool tables, dart boards, and a shuffleboard table. Drinks are decently priced ~$6 beers. I was a little shocked that there wasn't anything on tap, which I thought was kinda lame... but the nice bartenders and games made up for it. read more

It's a real s*^% hole.... I love it! Connected to a motel no less this place features the best in drinks, games, and atmosphere. Did I mention it's cheap? read more

Very friendly bartenders, reasonably priced drinks and not overly crowded. I asked the older bartender for a screwdriver and got a screwdriver in a glass of ice. I must say, I have never seen that before...and I live in Vegas. A laugh is always a good way to start my experience somewhere. Drinks were strong, prices were great. I'll be back! read more

One of my favourite local bars. All the bartenders are great, and the owners are good people. Drinks are poured well and there is a no bull attitude. Made some good friends here. read more

Love this place and the staff, no food but Snack to hold ya over. Great music and there's pool, darts and shuffle board to keep ya occupied. Only serve bottled beer and liquor, but u won't be disappointed in the prices read more

almost a full-fledged dive bar, but a half step above. shuffleboard (awesome), darts and a great jukebox. bartenders are very nice people and drinks aren't too expensive. favorite bar in costa mesa by far, and probably in orange county. very hard to get on a game of pool and smokers can't take their drinks outside to the patio which does not make sense to me since the smoking area is fully enclosed. read more

i give this place 5 stars solely for the kick ass bartender and their bombtastic drink saver things that say i've gone to peeee! or something like that heehee. they've got the pool tables, and it looked like some people got pretty serious with the game. drinks are fairly cheap, atmosphere is relaxed. i had a blast (; read more

Strong drinks, reasonably priced. Chill, mellow crowd and DARTS. There are just not enough darts bars in OC.

Patrick's is great because it isn't your pretentious trendy bar scene, it is a typical dive bar with a juke box, pool tables, darts, shuffleboard, and stiff drinks. The bartenders are always super cool and the drinks are cheap. Great place to get together with a group of friends and just chill and have some fun and crush some drinks. read more

I use to live across the street and was here every night. Love the crowd and love the bartenders. If mike still works there he is awsome! Just a little dive bar, cozy place where everyone fits in. read more

Best Irish pub in all of SoCal. Mellow, local crowd. If you expect a crazy party you've come to the wrong place... except around St. Patty's Day! Douchebags need not apply. Fun place to play some darts/pool/etc... oh and some very generous drinks are served from the one and only owner/bartender Vinny. Love this pub! read more

Great pub! Lots of beer and alcohol, pool tables, darts, and lots of other games. Great place to hang out and have a beer and not have any stress. read more

This place is the bomb. Quaint place with a nice bar, pool table and shuffleboards. This is the type of place that is close to a "Cheers" bar. Go where everyone knows your name :-) read more

Andy and Mike are top notch bartenders!(but then again they're all great)!.. they always ensure people are well taken care of and having a good time...outdoor smoking patio and a state of the art jukebox..very fun place to have a drink..thanks guys!! read more

I love this place! No cover. Always full of interesting people from 21 to 60. We usually don't have to wait to play darts, pool, or foosball. The bartenders are quick and friendly. It's a bit of a drive to or from anywhere, so take a cab. read more

This is great little spot for a quick beer and a game of shuffle board. The bartenders a super friendly. I came here with some friends for my birthday and the bartender was just feeding me drinks all night. I was still standing when closing time rolled around to the bartenders astonishment and to my victory. HA. They have a few pool tables for anyone thats interested. There is a back patio for smokers. Often a locals joint there was a group of 6 people that showed up who seem to be there pretty often. Super relaxed location with CLEAN bathrooms. Dosent look the most exciting from the outside and the place can be kind of empty at times but still a good spot for a quick pit stop. read more

Definitely a place "where everybody knows your name", but they're cool to newcomers as well. It's cool to come here for a bit and play some pool, although the local pool sharks are usually busy playing. But wait your turn and you'll get to play. They also have shuffle board, which is always fun. You'll definitely meet some new people here. I don't know if they have a happy hour but every time I've come here, the beers are the same price, which is around $5. read more

Me and a friend chose this pub randomly because it was the closest pub nearby the foodtruck gathering we were having afterwards. It was a typical Irish pub, nothing too special. They had a few pool tables, a shuffle board, foosball table, and a few arcade games. I guess the only downside of the bar is that they don't have any beers on tap! :[ So we ended up just ordered a few bottles of beer. We could have just bought a few beers at the liquor store i guess, but beer just tastes better at a bar! haha. Our bartender was friendly :] read more

My very first yelp! This bar is hands down one of my favorite bars I love the feeling of everyone knowing your name. Drink Prices are right inline if not cheaper then any other bar around. They have nfl ticket need I say more! Do yourself a favor and come check it out. read more

Shuffle board, pool, darts, mixed drinks. It works.

Not too shabby no food just snacks! Shots for days! Line em up...;-)

This place is fun and worth a try. There are no windows, so I thought it would be a total dive but it's not. They have some old-school games -like shuffleboard, and the crowd was mixed. Decent place to hang for a chill night. read more

Great dive bar. Good drinks, great music and a good crowd. Kat (the bartender) is friendly and entertaining. If you are in teh area worth a visit. I will be back. read more

IDGAF. It's a Brown's bar. Haven't gone yet, going tommorow for Ravens game! GO BROWNS!

This is one of my favorite bars... It has pool, shuffleboard, and fooseball plus other things. One of the few places where it can be crowded, but you don't feel claustrophobic. There's a jukebox which sucks sometimes if everyone is broke, then it's dead silent. But overall drinks are cheap and there's games to play :) The crowd is very mellow; the occasional really drunk girl asking to take it in the back-door comes around (true story, witnessed the whole conversation myself!), but it's pure entertainment! Seriously if you don't like it here, go back to your strobes and disco ball. read more

Very chill bar. Darts and Yeager/whiskey shots recommended by the bartender. Nice.

I love the divey ambiance. They have shuffle board which makes me very happy. The bartenders are always exceptional and provide great service. My only qualms with Patrick's and the reason I don't give it five stars is the parking on a busy night and the fact that they don't have any beers on tap. Just your average bottle brews are what is on the menu and they share a parking lot with a Super 8 Motel. But overall a great hangout if you don't mind the dive scene. read more

Pricing is decent for a dive. You can play darts, pool and shuffle board. If you are a smoker you can't take drinks to the smoking section outdoors but it is close by. The staff and the locals are friendly as well. There is a juke box that take credit cards so you can enjoy your own choice of music while drinking and playing. Four stars because if you are paying with a card it's a $20 minimum and you can't take drinks to the smoking section. Other than that it's a fun experience. Check it out! read more

Great place to grab a drink and play a game with friends. Beers a little pricey. read more

A friend once said "You don't go to Pat's 'cuz you're normal" and I concur. It's a good local watering hole - divey and not too hipsterish (yet). This is a cocktail place really - no tap beers and they charge $7 for a can of Guinness. Darts, shuffleboard, pool, jukebox - all the bases covered for games. read more

New fav neighborhood bar for my bf and I. The drinks are reasonable and bartenders are AWESOME - especially Michelle! Highly recommend.

This is the best dive bar in Costa Mesa I have been to. The staff is the nicest I have encountered in a while. I have spent two New Years in a row there now and definitely planning on spending the next there as well. It is in walking distance to my house so I don't have to worry about the small parking lot, which can be annoying if you drove... But hey you shouldn't be drinking and driving anyway. Darts are free, just need to give them your ID and on the weekends a taco truck parks outside. Not to mention they have a menu book you can order and have delivered to the bar. The crowd isn't your typical young hip newport bar crowd, and that's what I like about it. read more

Huge bar area. Actually, the whole place is huge. Pool tables, shuffleboard, etc. Kind of has a quirky, old school, been around 40ish years sort of vibe to it. Bartender was on top of her game, very friendly and very aware of her clientele's drink needs. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and the locals were friendly, the jukebox was chugging out solid tunes, the TV's were showing sports (golf, nascar, soccer, etc) and despite being a relatively older bar it was very clean. No draft beer, but not much wrong with a chilled bottle of suds. I'd go again. read more

My boyfriend and I go to Patrick's all the time and I don't know when we will ever stop going. The bartenders are sooo nice and genuinely care how things are going. Vinny, the owner, is awesome and always really welcoming. If you are having a shitty day, Edie is the bartender to go to because she will crack you up! The people that find her vulgar need to loosen up. It's really rare to find bartenders in OC this nice. Most other places it feels like bartenders forget they get tipped. They have the video touch game (my favorite), a jukebox, pool and shuffle board to keep you entertained throughout the night. Some nights it gets really crowded; it's very hit or miss. The crowd varies from young to old, and there are a ton of regulars. St. Patty's day is meant to be spent at Patrick's read more

I love this bar! My husband grew up on the East Coast, where your local bar is a place you go to relax and catch up with friends. Patrick's Pub is just that kind of place--the Bartenders are friendly and attentive. I have never had to wait for a drink and they always remember what you order. Regardless of the day of week or seasonal event, the Bartenders and Owners make sure you are having a good time and glasses are full of stiff drinks..;) Thank you to our bartenders Mike, Michelle, Donna, and Vinnie for making this pub a little bit of home for us! I would 100% recommend this pub! read more

Michelle Rocks! If you ever visit Patrick's make sure Michelle is working. She is absolutely wonderful. I love this local's hangout. Nice kick back place to play pool, and shuffle board. Great drinks, good prices. read more

This is a kick ass place. Prices are right. Drinks are stiff and... they have plenty of tables, a great jukebox and Golden tee. Bartenders are solid. This is a borderline dive bar. Don't expect too much more than good drinks and a good time and you'll agree. Parking might be an issue, but why in the hell would you be driving to a bar where you are going to put a few back? Drop in this place to see for yourself. read more

Underwhelming. No taps whatsoever, just bottles of stuff that is standard brews. No craft. They don't seem to want to change it, been there a few times and the place has a lot of potential. Nice shuffleboard table, also have two pool tables, and a "smoking" patio. read more

Very disappointing establishment. No beer on tap, small TVs, and disrespecful staff as well as patrons. They don't even have a happy hour. I was also insulted by the bartender. Don't waste your time and money in a dump like this. read more

This place is a smelly dive bar! The bar tender/manager Michelle is a real piece of work. On my first & last visit I ordered a $4.00 beer & payed with a $20.00 bill. The bartender disappeared for 10 minutes & when she finally returned I asked her for my change back. She then drops a $1.00 bill on the bar & tells me that I payed with a $5.00. Ended up paying $20.00 for a $4.00 beer! I will Never step foot in that turd bucket of a pub again! read more
