    Green tea Whiskey Sour
    Jenilyn D.

    Located inside the Pitfire Pizza. You can either go through the pizza place or the back door from the parking lot. Nothing fancy but hands down for best pizzas/finger foods and amazing service from the bartenders. Drinks are also on points!

    Came for the vibes stayed for the pizza. Service was quick, our server took our drink and pizza order right when we got in. The pizza took some time before it came out, but my god was it delicious. The pizza was unique and tasty. The crust had a nice texture when chewing and held together well.

    Had to take some back entrance to this speakeasy since it is behind a pizza shop. The drinks were good, but nothing amazing. The ambiance was pretty cool. Not a huge space, but was lucky to get a spot at the bar. I enjoyed my experience, but would probably go to other speakeasys since I wasn't in love with the drinks.

    Speakeasy located near the parking lot behind Pitfire Pizza. It's a dimly intimate space with a hustling/bustling atmosphere. Surprisingly loud for a speakeasy with limited seating inside and outside. When I think Speakeasy, I think crafted drinks. To my disappointment the cocktails were subpar. Perfect Paloma - I had high expectations of this because of the name "perfect". It was an average tasting Paloma with a very feint grapefruit flavor from the Fever Tree Grapefruit soda they use. Far from feeling like a crafted drink, and tasted a bit watered down. Green Tea Whisky Sour - Tasted sorta like a sherbet float because of the egg white texture and sweet/sour notes. I didn't taste the green tea at all. There's a lot of carb options to complement your drinking pleasure - pasta, pizzas, breads galore. We didn't try the food but will definitely try if we ever come back. Service was friendly and attentive enough despite the busy crowd.

    Such a fun place to go to! The drinks are well priced and delish. The pizza and wings are also pretty yummy.

    The chopped salad was delicious! The chicken pesto pizza was delicious! The crust was perfection! The bartender was really creative and my mezcal old fashioned was really good! The decor is mid-century modern, with retro signs, very cool dive bar. Definitely come here for the vibe. You won't be disappointed.

    First time trying pie society and it did not disappoint! It's right behind Pit Fire pizza building with a bright sign. The place is small but pretty roomy for small groups with a bar and has a cool eclectic vibe. The pizza was sooo good and tastes 100% fresh and authentic. Like the crust, cheese and that sauce, ugh, you just have to try for yourself! The cocktails are carefully crafted and also very good. Overall it's a nice little spot to check out and enjoy if you're ever in Costa Mesa and craving a delicious pizza and cocktail.

    Great bar comfort food with epic drinks. It's one of the better speak easy bars. The drinks are phenomenal and the service is exceptional. I love the sign "sip down and stay humble." The staff and vibe is mellow and humble. Love it.

    For a "speakeasy", it was more of a speak loudly...it was a busy and loud night. We went on a Saturday night around 9pm and it was CROWDED. Also sticky. They do not limit the amount of people coming in like other speakeasy's, so the crowd, noise and overall feel was very dive bar-like. Luckily we found a table with enough stools for a group of 4 and went up to the bar to order since it didn't seem like there was any table service... But it did take us a while to get situated in this space, as in -- find seating, figure out if theres a menu and where we can get one, if there is table service and so on. Drinks did not impress us either. No draft beers, only cans. But we do want to come back and try the pizza from the adjoining space since that did look good.....and they have beers on tap. If we could have ordered pizzas while at pie society,, we wouldn't have known since no staff informed us. Tldr: not great for big parties, there is a parking lot, and it gets busy since there is no limit to capacity or reservation. I would not categorize this as a speakeasy, only maybe on a day where capacity is at 10 and not 40 in a small space like here. If you just want a nice space for pizza and beers, skip this place and just make the stop at pit fire next door.

    I know I say this about a lot of places but THIS IS IT! A speakeasy with pizza?! Let me get a pizza that. It is so yummy. The pizza is delish and the drinks are great!!! I have been here on a few dates and it has such a fun and dark vibe. Very romantic! Don't love the high seats because I'm so short but the couches are fun. I wish there were games!!! Would be a fun addition. Service at the bar is good but if you're ordering pizza, it takes a minute. Worth it. I'll be back for sure !!!

    I absolutely love this little speakeasy. Just had my company Christmas party here and it was perfect. I used to be in the industry and I love the team's cocktail knowledge and execution. They are always so so nice. We always have a great experience here.

    Ask the Community - Pie Society

    Is it kids friendly?

    Absolutely! You can find our kids menu online- we do pizza making parties too!

    Is this place no longer in business? I was excited to go, but could not find it for the life of me. Then I called and the number was no longer operating?

    I just passed there last week and they were open! There's a speakeasy and the restaurant. Their number listed on google was in service for me but they don't open until 5 pm!

    How is the outdoor seating? I only see 5 pictures on here, is that how small the space is?

    Pie Society has a small patio on the side of the building, and Pitfire Pizza (the attached restaurant) has another patio in the front that's a lot bigger.

    Are reservations necessary and how do we book them?? I tried calling but I got a wrong answer.

    Nope.. just walk in.. and then sit down

    Do you have to be 21+ to enter?

    Yes, this is a 21+ establishment. However, you can be under 21 and enter the Pitfire Pizza that's attached to it.

    Does the food happy hour change daily? What are the specials or is there a menu you can post?

    Do they have happy hour and if so details?

    Hi! Yes we do, all night on Monday 5pm-Close and then Tuesday-Thursday 4-7pm.…

The ambiance was so cool with lots of Asian inspired decorations, total eye candy. The line for the drinks was a little long but went pretty fast and we were lucky to score 2 seats inside almost immediately. If not, you can stand around or sit on other little tables on their outside patio. You can view the drinks through a QR code, a wall menu or above the bar.

If you have some time while browsing The Lab during the day, I recommend stopping by for a drink! It's also nice to include in your barhopping itinerary in the evening since there are a number of breweries around too. I've had mixed experiences with the bartenders. Luckily, the gentleman manning the bar during my most recent visit was very friendly. Drinks are always great. I've tried a variety of drinks from the menu here, but my favorites are: -Love in Drunk, a lovely cocktail with cucumber and grapefruit flavors that create a fresh watermelon taste when mixed together -Bee's Knees, short but strong and sweet -London Mule, very herbal thanks to the gin and very refreshing

Tried out the Seoul Rider, which was so unique and savory but fresh. Key notes if flavor were kimchi and fish sauce, but honestly very well blend. Sounds a little intimidating, but honestly was great. I already love Miche's, Bloody Mary's, and dirty martinis. So if you are more of a savory esque person, this drink is fun to try if you adventurous. They garnished with a green onion which I frickn love. Oh So Jaded, a gin crafted drink with notes of kiwi and fresh cracked peppercorn. Ugh, so fresh and good. She Devil, such a great drink if you like Moscow Mules or ginger tasting drinks. Kiss My Hisbicus, such a pretty and fruit drink. Definitely on the sweet side an dangerous cause you don't taste the alcohol at all lol. Great bar to stop by with a friend or two to catch up.

It was still very easy to order at the bar, loved the unique cocktail menu, the drinks were yummy!

Overall not bad if you have time and want to try a more unique cocktail/bar experience.

It's a fun spot to grab a drink for the ambiance, but as a full meal, it leaves a lot to be desired. The food itself is okay--the quesa birria tacos have decent flavor and the carne asada comes with a nice char--but given the steep prices, you expect way better execution and more generous portions. Paying high-end money for pretty standard street food staples dressed up on nice plateware just feels overpriced. Service was fine enough, nothing to complain about, but the value just isn't there for what they're charging. On top of that, parking can be a bit challenging since it's tucked away in kind of a weird location. If you're going purely for photos, fancy cocktails, and a trendy date night backdrop, it fits the bill, but if you're looking for great food value, there are much better spot-on Mexican joints in OC.
