He was our bartender as well and was great and kept checking up on our table to see if we were all good! We got pitchers which was great to share with everyone. The music was good and the vibes were 10/10

Goat Hill Tavern is one of those places I somehow keep ending up at every Tuesday at 7 PM with…read morefriends. It even showed up on Season 19 of "Real Housewives of Orange County", which honestly shocked me because I wouldn't expect those rich ladies to come here, but I guess they like to slum it sometimes lol. It's a laid-back dive bar with easy parking, solid drinks for my friends (I don't drink), and a casual, no-pressure vibe that makes it a reliable weekly meetup spot in Costa Mesa. Just keeping it real, the bathrooms are gross, and yeah, people smoke inside like it's part of the ambiance. The bar is outdoors and indoors because the game room area has an open roof so you're not technically smoking indoors (doesn't mean I love the smell though). Still, I keep coming back.

Stopped by here for a quick solo pregame before heading out to a coworker birthday. Sat right at…read morethe 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.

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.

There's like a whole food court in here With 11 different food options cannot wait to come back.

The service is always fast, and it's nice that the bar opens at 5 pm to enjoy early drinks before the band comes on. Very sad that the MACARONI is gone! That was my favorite dish! The nachos were really good but too big for one person and that's why I've always loved the macaroni. Other than the macaroni being gone, excellent experience back after a year of not visiting! Bartenders are always super cool no matter who we have gotten.

Everyone in the bar were keeping to themselves except these 3 grown men who would not leave me and my friend alone. they were making us super uncomfortable. another staff member who we didn't get the name of seemed to catch what was going on and asked if we were good. he was so kind and walked us to our car when the bar closed because the men were outside. he seemed to be aware of his surroundings. so yes there were weird gross guys there but minus that group we had a very nice time. we would return :) -pomegranate girl

The harp is definitely an institution in Costa Mesa. I mean I cannot tell you how many times I have…read morebeen here. Long before Yelp was even a thing, and long before the internet really was put into the hands of the cow in person, this was the hub. This is where you went to meet people, exchange ideas, have conversation and more. The harp is really an institution in Orange county. And not just because it has longevity, there's a reason that it has sustained power. This place is probably one of the most authentic Irish pubs I've been to. Having been to Ireland. I can attest that this is right there with a standard pub in a small town. Which makes it wonderful. The people that run the place, especially Paul, is one of the reasons why I keep coming back here. He's personable, funny, and no-nonsense right. I like his way of thinking and his approach to customer service a second to none. Now let's talk about the food and drinks. From a drink standpoint. You cannot go wrong with this place, the drinks are thoughtfully made, this guy knows how to pour a beer. As far as food goes. I highly recommend the beefeater sandwich, and you cannot go wrong with the chicken wings. Some of the best wings I've had ever. Friday and Saturday nights is usually popping pretty hard when they have bands playing. So, good luck trying to find a seat anywhere in the place. When there is an event that night. You will have to get there early for sure. The bottom line? This is a go-to hangout. If you are looking for a good watering hole to meet people, just hang out and have a good time, or watch a game on the big screen TVs. F*** I would highly recommend the harp to anybody and everyone in the Orange county area.

We said we were ready to order and she said sorry, "I can't help you." So we went up to the bar to place our food order. We watched, and every other table was being serviced. We were right in the middle of inside/outside. Iced tea was horrible, literally moldy taste. We ordered a soda instead and of course they tried to charge us for both. Food came out, only one breakfast, we ordered two. Just bad experience all around!

The food, drinks, TVs, and atmosphere are always great, and we actually drive quite a distance because we enjoy coming here so much. Unfortunately, today was disappointing. The drinks were PERFECT as always, but something has definitely changed with the chili. It used to be one of the best things on the menu, but now it suddenly has tomatoes in it, which completely changed the original flavor. I honestly didn't enjoy it at all and ended up leaving half my plate. I really hope this was just a temporary change and that they bring back the original chili recipe. We love coming here and would hate to see one of our favorite menu items changed for good.

I rented the venue and hosted my daughter's birthday there on Sunday and the team went above and beyond to make sure the event ran seamlessly.

The place was clean, well-maintained and everyone had so much fun -- adults included. I would absolutely plan and host another event there. Thank you again for making my daughter's birthday so special. You guys were amazing!!!
