Perqs is the spot for Super Bowl! I've been going to Perqs for years and appreciate that they have good prices and are low key. Mainly it's the bar to go to when you want to get some drinks without having to dress up for a fancy bar. Also, they have live bands at night on most weekends! I was shocked that they had complementary hot dogs and nachos for the big game. I will definitely be going to Perqs for the Super Bowl next year after what a great experience I had this year! Typically Perqs does not have food by the way, so having this on the game day was really top notch! The bartender's are always chill too; I would say if you want a fancy little cocktail bar, do NOT go to Perqs. read more

When visiting HB to visit friends who live there, we always go to everyone's favorite bar! We always have such a great time what with all the great cocktails, tasty food and super fun atmosphere! The service is always fast and great, very friendly even on their busiest nights. We love the bands that perform there too, it makes for a perfect night! read more

I have my ID on my phone and don't carry my wallet. They would not honor my ID to let me in. I am 45 years old and look it. Absolutely rude "security" which is more like a minimum wage big guy on a power trip with zero critical thinking skills. We will take our business elsewhere and advocate to end yours! You must have done something pretty shady to be so strict to not take a government app ID! read more

Best place for me in Huntington Beach Pier. I'm a simple man and appreciate good service and good prices. Matt is the bomb bartender made sure I got whatever I needed. Alonso is the other bartender. He's hella cool rocking The Stache. Great place to hangout at. read more

Jordan was the best!! He made us the best Semen Demon shots. I don't know if he's straight or not but he's definitely a great time. read more

Perqs - Perqs - Sports Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

For a dive bar it's pretty fun, where the locals go and drink and listen to good bands! (A lot of famous bands started out playing here). Definitely go on a Friday or Saturday day/night. It has a long bar and a tiny dance floor too! read more

I don't really write bad reviews, but overall this place was really not the vibe. I would never recommend this place to anyone because the workers were very unprofessional and it made me super uncomfortable. There was a specific Asian worker who was just ruining my groups night by implying rude comments & overall being bias against us. It quickly led to us just leaving because we did not want anymore backlash. I completely understand how it is to work in a customer service field, but never would I act the way she treated us to anyone. I hope Perqs is well. read more

Always a great time at Perqs, especially when my friends band plays...BossSound EST!!! Their drinks are spot on, and if you're hungry there's a taco place just a few steps away! The bouncer was awesome at escorting a belligerent guy sitting next to me, right out the door! The situation was handled well and no other incidents happened! My bartender was a thirst trap in real life! If you know names, drop them so I can give them a shout out next time I'm there!! read more

Perqs - Bouncer at Perqs!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Super cool, laid-back bar with just the right amount of dive vibe for a downtown HB spot. Cool music, great drinks, and bartender Jake was outstanding -- great attitude and solid cocktails. Definitely recommend, especially for late-night drinks. Check it out and tip well. read more

Love this place the staff the locals Adrian is dope bartender never a dull moment in this place

Best bar in Huntington Beach with the best bartenders! Great live music. A must stop while visiting HB.

I've been here a few times now but my most recent was last weekend and my longest visit. (The first couple of times were for a quick shot or 1 drink then we bounced). This time my friend and I hung out for a couple of hours and caught up (we hadn't seen each other in a month). The bartender that was working was super sweet! They have a fantastic deal of $5 jäger shots!! (It's our favorite). *heart eyes* read more

Unbelievable terrible service My female friend unzipped my Santa Claus suit. As went to bar and asked "Perqs IPA please" bartender said unknown. words. I said "excuse me. Bartender responded "you need to zip up". I said "okay" While I was looking down at my zipper to zip up the bartender walked away then another bartender told me to zip it up. To speed things up for them I turned around facing friend to assist. Then a bouncer kicked me out. They were very aggressive not wanting me say quick goodbye to few friends As I exited the bouncer at the door said knew nothing about it and had to do his job. He asked if I was drinking. I responded "of course. What kind of question is this?" It was around midnight so already early for a Saturday night. So early no rush to get home with Uber or Lyft, Sober enough to jog home 2.76 miles in my Santa costume and casual shoes in 23 minutes & 20 Seconds. Only good thing is saved me over $30! If ever find me there again is only due to been there many times with friends who will continue to go there. I just never again tip them. read more

Great local place to have a drink and watch a band, especially on a Friday night!! Their bands are usually rock bands which is really awesome. They don't have servers so you have to order your drinks at the bar and it's gets pretty packed sometimes...depending on the bank. Otherwise, great little spot to enjoy music and dancing. read more

Came here on a Sunday. Walked in with the upmost best vibes. Cody at the door was an actual doll. The dude behind the bar was the least interesting entity in that place. So rude. His service was so slow. More worried about his girlfriend and her friends. Not going to lie on the review I 100% took a lime out the tray after asking for it but not receiving it, I did not contaminate THE ENTIRE FRUITE TRAY. I ONLY TOOK LIKE A LIL FINGER TO TAKE THE TIP OF A LIME OUT OF IT. I bartend myself I'm not an idiot. Wish for the best from you guys. I come here when I want a cool divey feel. The dog friendly environment makes me loves this place. Please do better on who you employ. Totally understand my fuck up on touching the service tray and grabbing my own lime but never would have felt the need if your bartender was adequate at his job. Had to remind him to serve us even after we ordered . God bless read more

One of the security guards Cody was being extremely rude to me and my friend. The bartender was a woman, I don't know her name but she had fake eyelashes and she was Asian. She was veryyyy rude to my friend. She screamed at her when she was simply asking a question. Overall, service was a 0/10. The workers are not trained and are very rude to customers. I would not recommend to anyone looking for a good time. There were also some minors in there that I saw them let go through. Not a good bar at all. read more

I have seen some awesome cover bands here. The Rum Soaked Raisins are a personal favorite. We always like the bouncers. The best rule - treat them well and they will help make your night a great one. read more

Super cute little dive bar in Huntington Beach. We were on vacation in Cali and this place was awesome We didn't get food, only drinks. There is definitely karaoke and good vibes. The bartenders were awesome and efficient. This is a neighborhood hang out for sure if you live in the area! read more

Listen, I used to work in food service. And then, after that, retail. I've experienced the full spectrum of humanity, and it was often unpleasant. I learned fairly quickly that I lack the temperament to handle people en masse, particularly when they're inebriated. The female bartender here is long overdue for a similar come-to-Jesus moment. Her name escapes me but she's racially ambiguous, dark-haired, and filled with all of the warmth and hospitality of unsanctioned CIA torture. Seriously girl, why are you here? During the 4 hours my friend and I were there I watched her snap at people on the dance floor, snap at the bouncer watching the dance floor, snap at her fellow bartender, and then, finally, snap at actual paying customers. It was so unpleasant that my friend and I left despite wanting to stay. And I thought you know, hey, people have off nights, maybe we caught her on a bad one. But I mentioned my experience to someone else, someone who frequents this place with his friends often, and he said it's a regular occurrence. I awarded two stars, as opposed to one, because the TouchTunes was fun and I enjoyed the people there. Many of them are in town for the air show and I hope this lone, excruciatingly unlikeable bartender doesn't color their opinion of the city. Pro tip: Killarney's down the street is plenty busy with none of the attitude. 2nd Floor is cool too. read more

I am a repeat customer, this place is amazing! The staff has been nothing but nice to me every time I have come in here. They have every drink you could want for a great night out. The live bands that have performed here have been outstanding. This place is always a great vibe, best place to party at in Downtown HB read more

Always a blast! Great place to hang out and people watch. Perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon!!!

I come here all the time. Marcus, Kyle and Malory are the most attentive bartenders. They create relationships with the locals and treat everyone with respect. I love this bar because of these three! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here Tuesday night and had an oddly unpleasant experience with the female bartender. He ordered a Long Island and I ordered a Vodka Cran with a splash of soda. My boyfriend then asked if it was too late to change his order and if she had already started his Long Island. She snapped back "I can't make a Long Island that fast. Rude." She then began up a glass with soda. I reminded her it was a vodka cranberry with a splash of soda. She was pretty irritated by this. I decided to leave and will not be returning to this place. Looks like I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience with her. read more

The gay bartender, Marcus, makes amazing WAP shots! He's so cute!!!!!!!! Everything he said was hilarious. I want him to meet my son

This a staple hangout on for HB locals. Open Kate, Live music, dancing, drinks.... What more do you need. Had a great time.. read more

Perqs - Sports Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Incredibly blessed to walk in here on Thanksgiving. I was welcomed with open arms, a beer and a potluck. Instantly felt like I belonged and will be back the next time I'm in town. Much love and appreciation to everyone I met! read more

Bartender was nothing but utmost disrespectful upon first interaction. I simply moved a trash can with a seat to sit next to my friend and got greeted with grief from the bartender. Instead of letting me know respectfully with a "Hey you mind leaving the trash can there it's my well", I was informed with "that's there for a reason, and not leaving it out on the walkway" (which I didn't by the way) and gives me a smirk laugh. Gives me a bold idea of the customer service here. Definitely not earning my businesses ever again. Whichever bartender there that had dollar coined-size ear piercings is better off as a dmv employee. read more

Matt is HORRIBLE. I have been a loyal customer at Perq's for 10 years and he literally and physically shoved me out of the way for no reason. I had been at the bar for about an hour, listening to my favorite band "Those Guys"! I absolutely love Katie, their lead singer, and I brought a friend for the second time to enjoy the music. I was hanging out with Eric (the old bouncer/door security) and enjoying the band. Out of nowhere, and for no reason at all... Matt decided that I was in the way, and he made a huge scene. He was rude, disrespectful, and an absolute asshole. He needs to be fired. Dave, if you are going to employ people like this, then I have no respect for the business. I am in the industry, a restaurant manager, and I know how all of this works. If you have people like that, employed by you, it will not go well. Matt, you're an absolutely unhappy person. You don't deserve the job that you have and you have no business being in the industry. Any man that pushes a woman for no reason, deserves no respect. It's no wonder that you're in the situation that you are. I highly advise any woman that goes into this bar, to not deal with Matt. He's an egotistical asshole and male chauvinist pig. He will treat you like shit for no reason, no matter how long you have been a faithful customer. He doesn't give a crap about anybody. Avoid going into Perqs when he is working. Take it from a local who's been going there for 10 years. read more

We wanted to car watch the Main Street on Huntington Beach so we tried Perqs. It's just a bar, they don't serve food but the bartender was great. We snagged a table that looked outside but the bar had plenty of seating that was great. We ordered a draft beer and bloody Mary's. The beer was cold and the Bloody Mary's were very good. Pricing was a plus! Would definitely try again read more

Just DONT! We live 3 blocks from this dive bar and we wouldn't go here if it was the last place on earth. The bartender "Jay" is so so rude. She makes her $ trying to turn it into a bikini bar catering to 3 or 4 of her "regular" old men and dissing everyone else. ‍ Way overpriced, dead bar, horrible atmosphere. To be fair, this is not a review of the music venue. But I can give the bouncers that work here a 1 as they too have proved to be unfriendly a-holes. HB has so many great options to this s**t hole. Go to hurricanes or noka oi!! Xoxo FUI we LOVE LOVE LOVE DT Hb read more

If you're looking to people watch from the window... great spot! Maverick loved it too! read more

Perqs - My boy and his Mama chillin - Sports Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This is a really cool spot and if you are lucky enough, the front window seats are some of the best in town. That said, we had a bad experience with the touch tunes. We wanted to hear a little country, connected to the Touch tunes and paid for our music. Well the male bartender had other plans, lowered the music and eventually bypassed the music selections we made and paid for. What's the point of a touch tunes? I guess he said the music reminded him of his ex man. Bro get over it. read more

Love this place. Music is great. People watching is great. Generous pour. Everything you want out of a dive bar. Older crowd vs rest of Main Street which is nice. read more

Perqs - Beer Goggles rock the house 90s cover - Sports Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

We waited forever for a drink. There were less than 20 people there and it looked like the bartender was more interested in flirting with the regulars than pouring us a drink. We left without ordering food because it felt like we were an annoyance to the staff. read more

This guy fill your shots full by tequila! I like it. But pay attention they have no food. And also cool music!

The worst bar in Hunting Beach! Terrible food and even worse drinks. Had a great night last time, but whoever was there the next day was unbelievably rude. Will not go again even though we live 2 blocks away. Hard pass. read more
