Came here to check it out and see the speakeasy. Will be coming back because of Oakley. So helpful and was so kind. Made sure we were happy with all of our drinks and just really made our experience. If you're there and see Oakley just know you're in good hands. read more

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming since it opened, back when it was smaller and in pacific city, so stoked they moved to a larger location on main st. Perfect for a date, guys/girls day out, and family friendly. Cherry on top is their kind service, this gentleman on the bar, Oakley, was very helpful and had such a positive attitude. Always recommend this place!! read more

Love this place! A well lit, open aired, coastal gem with a fabulous horseshoe bar with great views and most importantly.........pinball! We stay in Long Beach all the time and haunt the pubs with pinball there, but sadly they are all located in sketchy neighborhoods and at great distances, but we can get to Playground in about 20 minutes on the PCH with no traffic and amazing views. Its location is the bustling downtown HB makes for an amazing day trip and we just love the energy, ambiance, and relaxed atmosphere of the place. read more

This place is TRULY the best of EVERYTHING in the whole entire area by far. You walk in and every person is so nice to you. It feels like a community in a way. Everything has a touch and it feels like you're finding something new every second. For the food... The food was amazing. We started off with tater tots and WOW. Perfect crunch. Ranch on the side already. Next was the wings. I'd recommend the garlic parm ANY day. The cheese on the top... no words. Cooked perfectly. Amazing flavor. Wanted to meet the chef as soon as possible. I am so serious right now, i don't think i've had better fried pickles ever in my life. No one has ever done it like that. The smash burger was really well, i recommend having ketchup. overall, amazing place! read more

It was a hot day and I was on a mission to find something fun to do with my 12-year-old. We stumbled upon this spot, saw the playground, and decided to give the mini golf course a try--and I'm glad we did. The course itself is cute and has a charming, almost homemade feel to it. It's not overly polished, but that's part of the appeal. There were several creative obstacles and challenges that we hadn't seen at other mini golf spots, which kept things interesting and fun throughout the round. After golf, we checked out the arcade. There was a good variety of games, and my son was definitely entertained, which is always a win. It felt like a well-rounded spot for a casual outing. The restrooms were clean, and the staff was friendly enough--nothing over the top, but perfectly pleasant. One thing that did take away from the experience a bit was the number of very young kids running around unsupervised. I'm talking maybe 4 years old or so, and they kept interrupting our game. As a parent, I completely understand how challenging it can be to keep an eye on little ones, but I'm also a bit competitive, so it definitely threw off my groove. Not the venue's fault, just something to be aware of--there may be some tiny, energetic free spirits roaming around. Also, while it was a warm day, it wasn't quite as cool as I expected it to be, which made it a little less comfortable than ideal. Overall, though, it's a fun, family-friendly spot with a unique mini golf course and enough activities to keep kids entertained. I'd come back--just maybe with slightly lower expectations for personal space on the course. read more

Wow! We found Playground Mini Golf on Groupon and we could not be more excited to find this hidden gem! Came w a party of 5 for mini golf. Kids are allowed until 9pm. We're totally coming back, just the adults Oakley is THE BEST! Being total newbies, he walked us through all their amenities, bites & brews. And he can make a mean Arnold Palmer too. He made us feel like we were celebrities! We can hardly wait to come back for their speak easy! We only tried the pizza appetizer and drinks. But, based on that, I'm sure the rest of their food offerings will be delicious as well. They have comedy Thursday nights. They also validate if you use the parking structure directly below; don't park across the street! We will definitely be back highly recommend! Thanks Oakley! We'll see ya soon! read more

Definitely not what I expected.. Pictures are definitely deceiving lol.. but nevertheless a good time.. and lots to look at even though is smaller than it seems like based off the pictures online. Service was okay.. waited at the bar a while before bartender came up to us.. had a drink only.. and played some arcade games. The hallways towards the restroom was my fave.. lots to look at .. that bookshelf was really cool. read more

The owner was nice enough to reach out about my experience and to see if there was anything he can do to make it better. He even invited me back as a guest! It's honestly a great time, I just think mini golf is just not my thing. Who knows, maybe I'll give it another shot in the future. :) read more

My daughter and I recently visited this Playground Mini Golf on a Saturday night. It might be fairly new. We enjoyed it! We found a Groupon for miniature golf, half off drinks and an appetizer for $45, but somehow I still managed to pay $40 when we got there. Not sure what happened. I should have checked my check. Anyway, we made it a good time. It's a small place. They have a full bar, cocktails, and zero proof beer. They do ask for ID after 9 PM. 21 and over. Parking is across the way at the structure and I paid five dollars. The location is pretty small, and the golf course is nine holes. And they are very tiny and you can get through it in less than 15 minutes. The good thing is that they have a miniature arcade area and a pretty cool back room of memorabilia to look at. It's a nice area to take pictures, but could be a little dark. The restrooms were super cute! I love the feminine touches and pink trash cans. The employees were all very friendly. Our bartender was super sweet and other workers that brought out our food were also very attentive and nice. Music was great and they have TVs and sports on. The food is mediocre. It's pretty much bar food. We ordered flatbread and wings. I wouldn't get the flatbread again. There was no flavor. The wings were OK. Probably need to try something different next time. Cool little spot for a date night or a night out with the kids! We had a great time! read more

So happy to have found this place. Such a fun experience with so many activities to do as an adult. There was a mini arcade area , mini golf of course ; and so many board and card games . The full bar was really nice drinks were reasonably priced and there is a happy hour which I love. Let's jump into the food sooooo good. I order one of everything from the happy hour menu ; fried pickles , cheese curds and mini corn dogs . The food was good the sauces on the side were even better. The drinks my boyfriend and I got was really good and strong which I love . I wish I got the names of everyone who helped us cause the customer service was phenomenal. The energy was really good ; such a fun chill environment. Definitely a gem I'd come back to forsure. read more

Amazing!!! 10 out of 10 for creativity! This is something that you've never done before. The facts that it's small & quick are totally irrelevant. Add this minigolf to your vacation/road trip/date/anytime calendar! Unusually friendly staff, great for families during the day. Don't miss it!!! PS: They're trinket traders t! IYKYK read more

Playground mini golf is the place where it's happening! Love the vibe, indoor games, miniature golf and a speak easy. We had a holiday party in the speakeasy. Cute space with virtual golf station along with your own bartender. It was so nice to have a private area to talk and have a white elephant exchange. We ordered off the menu, unfortunately the meals were not served all at the same time. The food was good though. The only hitch was booking the speak easy, it didn't show it as booked after a deposit was paid. Adam straightened it out and Stephanie was helpful with an explanation. I definitely recommend this as a great gathering place with a fun vibe. read more

The Backswing is such a fun hidden gem in Huntington Beach! Located inside Playground Mini Golf, this speakeasy combines great food, craft cocktails, and an incredibly creative atmosphere. A quick tip because it was a little tricky to find the first time: park in the main Pacific City parking garage and take the elevator up. When you get out, head to the side of the building opposite the beach. The entire venue is golf-themed, and they truly thought of everything. The decor is adorable, and every detail feels intentional--even the bathrooms are super cute. There are so many great photo opportunities throughout the space, plus arcade games and indoor mini golf that make the experience even more fun. The speakeasy itself has a great vibe with creative craft cocktails and delicious food. I highly recommend ordering the Steak Frites--the steak was absolutely phenomenal and one of the highlights of our visit. I ate it before I got a pic. But trust me it's bomb! The drinks were equally impressive and perfectly crafted. Definitely go check it out!!! read more

Came here to do a round of mini golf and it was so fun!! It's a short 9-hole course but they are interesting courses that I have never done before. They also have food, drinks, and a hidden speakeasy in the back with live music. read more

Oakley is the best!!! He knew the menu so thoroughly and was super quick!! Had the best time here and would come back again.

Nice little place for the locals to come enjoy a different take on the fun bar experience. There's a small indoor mini-golf course to play that starts from the front and ends in the back. Short and sweet. Video games, limited outdoor seating but just enough. Friendly staff. We did not get to try the food, but Happy hour is M-F 2pm-6pm, $5 mini golf, well drinks, domestic beer. Came with my wife and kid and it's nice to know the bathroom stall has a changing table. I didn't get to play any games but will do next time. They could use more variety on their happy hour beers list. I know there's not much of a price difference when u add imports, but all good. read more

My time at Playground Mini Golf was very pleasant. You can tell a lot of care goes into what they do, from the ambiance of the restaurant itself, and the welcoming experience and service that our server Daisy provided. Last night, I experienced something unexpectedly great from a very unexpected source. The chef Octavio, was outstanding, thoughtful, skilled, and clearly passionate about what he does. There was intention in everything he provided and he made sure to check in on us throughout the experience. I would highly recommend Playground Mini Golf if you're genuinely looking for a great experience, welcoming ambiance, and incredible food. I will returning to Playground Mini Golf, hungry for more. read more

My husband and I wanted to go to the beach for a chill day walking around and we stumbled across this spot! It's a cool spot with a bar inside, a small arcade, super cool decor, and unique themed mini golf. We played mini golf which is about 9 holes. There were others at the table tops drinking cocktails and playing board games but there weren't too many others playing mini golf so we got to go as many times as we wanted. I recommend it for a chill day with a group of friends, small group of kids, or a day date activity. Service is good, bartenders were polite. It's affordable and there's a cool speakeasy in the back too just past the arcade but before you hit the bathrooms - which are also very decorated!! I recommend you check this spot out. read more

Walked in for a little date night. The staff that was there was very sweet. $10 a person and my husband ended up winning a free game for next time. Small space but very affordable and fun still. The best part, there was a party in the back and only one other group leaving as we were coming in so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. read more

Really wanted to love this adult mini golf spot, but unfortunately, it fell a bit short for me. I've been seeing a lot of social media hype about this spot, but unfortunately, this was one of the cases where it is much better online than in person. My main gripe is the fact that this isn't exactly adult exclusive - there were quite a bit of toddlers and children running around and playing at the mini golf and arcade (some without parental or employee supervision), while this is clearly a bar where quite a few adults are drinking. The 9 hole course itself was also extremely cramped, with no place to stand comfortably or set down your drinks as you waited for your turn. The balls would often easily fly off one station and into another, since all the holes were right next to each other and there were several holes that had props or slopes that the ball had to pass. Booking was also another issue - there's no reservation system set up yet, so everyone just queues up when they arrive, and it's hard to figure out the wait and how crowded the bar will be. The speakeasy that was advertised all over social media was also not operational, and the simulator inside the room needed a private booking, which also isn't clearly advertised. Overall, drinks were strong and had creative golf references for their names, but this wouldn't be a spot that I would come back to, considering the poor course design and difficult parking (there is free 90 min parking with no validation needed in the parking garage across the street if it isn't full). read more

This place is located off Main Street. Address will take you to the correct spot, don't be confused by the pacific city photos! I came here with my family on a random Monday night for happy hour and we had a great time! Only $5 pp to play mini golf during happy hour. Our six year old and two year old were both entertained and there was beer for dad. Service was great, but it was pretty empty. Food was fine, just average. read more

My first time here . Services at the bar was great . Daisy was extremely attentive and super sweet.

I came here on a Monday and the bartender Oakley was really nice and delivered exceptional customer service. He was knowledgeable about what Non-Alcoholic beers they carried. I ordered a Heinken Zero, not my favorite non-alcoholic but it does the job. I got to play a race car game that was really fun. I came in 5th place. I highly recommend this spot for drinks and games. I love bars that have activities to do besides just sit and drink. Come check this place out if you like having fun! read more
