Great view of the ocean and passing trains. Relaxed vibe. The food is interesting and great. I like the Spicy tuna Bites. The drinks are excellent. The 1945 Mai Tai is better than the ones I have had in Hawaii. Joey the bartender is great. It gets very busy, so it's best to go early for a relaxed time. read more

Great bar with beachside views. It's super casual with good vibes. The drinks are fantastic and the quesadilla was big enough for us to share for date night. Service was good but not super attentive. Personally, that's how I like it. They have TVs and billiards. I would definitely recommend. read more

*Fun bar with ocean views at DanaPoint *Well priced happy hour menu ( ps- all day happy hour on Wednesday) * solid cocktails and well presented *Didn't order food but noticed tables that did seem to enjoy and clean their plates more often then not * Pool table, darts, several tv screens... the stuff you would expect from a lively bar * parking is available but limited (also entrance is from the parking lot and not the street) *Friendly and attentive service * Will return when in the area read more

What a fun spot. Everyone is so friendly. It has a small town vibe (unless you go when there's a popular band) Park in the lot or underground, don't park and run across the street. The outdoor seating is really nice with the ocean across the street. read more

Right off the beach, Sunsets Bar offered a cozy place to grab a nice drink. The cocktails were solid, a tad pricey but you can always take advantage of Happy Hour. The burger and fries were good. The caramelized onion and special sauce on the burgers were great. The bartenders were all really personable and nice, especially Pedro/Johnny. read more

Servers amazing. Great views. Fun vibe (darts and pool). I lived in Hawaii, and reading the menu, looking at the ocean, and listening to the music playing brought me right back! Wednesday is all day happy hour! I had Baja tacos (delicious!) and I switched my side for Mac salad (for the real Hawaii throwback!). Everything was fresh and tasty. $5 maitai can't be beat and the wide range of happy hour drinks is truly notable!! read more

Chef David Romero has done it again! He just brought out these amazing smoked ahi tostadas that are exceptional. The fish was fresh and the Smokey flavor balance with Serrano chiles was on point. If you are a foodie you would appreciate this dish. I'm coming back every weekend here for bottomless mimosas, the amazing bartender Johnny and Chef David's delectable options. Come in tell him what you like and he just might get creative! See u on Sunday! A huge shout out to Joey and Pedro who run the spot meticulously and are warm/welcoming to everyone who walks in the room. Any owner would be thrilled and grateful to have them. read more

Sunsets Bar - Ahí smoked tostadas - American Near Me - Capistrano Beach, California

If I could it would be a 3.75 star review. My friend and I came here for dinner while staying down the street. It had good reviews so we gave it a shot. A wild card game was playing and the bar was about half full. We walked in from the street entrance and were told we could sit wherever we wanted. They had tvs in every direction so if you are here to watch the sport they are showing, you are in luck. We figured out our order pretty quickly: 1. Kalua pork taquitos (order of 6) - these were delicious! The pork was so well flavored. I didn't get much sauce on my taquitos as they were on the bottom but even without the sauce, they were really good. I added some tapatío which complimented it well. 2. Ahi Poke - This was a deconstructed bowl with rice, seaweed salad, poke, pickled ginger and a dab of wasabi. The amount of poke was somewhat disappointing. Considering it was $20, the fast food poke bowl places put this place to shame. The pieces of fish were tasty but I've had much better for less at other places 3. Angus beef sliders - you get 3 sliders that have avocado and a platter of fries. I added some chalula to the ketchup for the fries and some to the burger too. This was tasty as well. The crowd was very animated as their team had an incredible game so at times the place roared with excitement so my friend and I had to pause before speaking. They have outdoor seating that faces the ocean so on warmer nights I'm sure this place is packed. Overall solid experience. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We have lived here for two years and never came until the end of our time living here and we are so bummed! This place is amazing! The service is fantastic! Deals are incredible. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Outdoor seating is a must the inside gives heavy bar vibes. But the outside at sunset is where it's at. Love this place!! read more

1st time there today. Our waitress was awesome. We sat outside on the patio and had an ocean view. What could be better than that. This is a beautiful restaurant with many unique features. I love fish and chips so if it's on the menu that's what I'm ordering. I wasn't disappointed. It was so delicious. And the presentation was so nice. My friend had the teriyaki beef bowl. I had a taste and it was wonderful and it was a beautiful presentation. Might have to get that next time.. We will definitely be going back. read more

Sunsets really does live up to its name, the view at dusk is amazing. The food is actually pretty good as well and the 5 dollar MaiTai is well worth the trip! I've also tried the fried rice which was more of a Hawaiian style fried rice and that was also really tasty. The only draw back is parking can be a little tight, and prices have definitely gone up, happy hour here at sunset is definitely worth it. read more

Always a winner for their $5.00 MaiTias during happy hour-and loaded Tots. Great place with a great view. Patio seating in the summer is amazing for watching the sunset. Also the fish and chips are an excellent option as well. read more

Regarding Sunsets- Capo Beach! I'm a Chef of over 20 years and I have never had such bad service or take out food quality?! The attitude from the server was ridiculous?l I ordered two bottles of rose wine, then the check came without her visiting our table as I wanted to order food "to go"?! Then I ordered which took forever?! She was still rude?! Why?! Here's what I received from my "to go" order?! I received barely any poke and paid extra for won tons?! read more

Love this place in Dana point! It's best to visit after 4 PM then you can sit out in the patio and watch the sun setting over the water. It's a bit noisy out there, but you can do a lot of cars/people watching and you can take your dog. If you're camping at the state beach, you can almost walk here or it's a quick two minute drive. It's pretty busy on the weekend, but this is plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

This guy below me sat right behind me and was a proper d*ck. Waitress was not rude with anything. We had the same waitress and she was amazing! This is one of our first times to Sunsets and will definitely be back. Food was great, service was great and view is the best in the area. read more

Waitress with a bad attitude. When I pointed out that there was some leftover lip muck on the glass of my drink instead of apologizing and replacing the drink, she said, "where" with a negative tone in her voice as if she didn't believe me. I hadn't even taken a sip out of the drink. Long time visitor, won't be coming back. Oh well. **UPDATE** The manager on shift read our review in real time and apologized and made things right. I was caught off guard by him coming to our table to talk about the review but he made things good and covered the drinks and meal we had. It was appreciated. read more

Sunset Bar has become one of my go-to visits for an oceanside view in all of southern California. The food is tasty and, especially at Happy Hour, reasonably priced. The waitresses are attentive and pleasant. There is ample outdoor seating, except during rush hour, where the place can get packed. But that's only because its so popular, and deservedly so! read more

Sunsets Bar - Steak Taco Plate (3 Tacos) Happy Hour Sunsets Mai Tai - American Near Me - Capistrano Beach, California

No bs this cozy beach side front spot offers exactly that with a dive bar vibe at the inside bar. Two waitresses constantly not knowing where orders are going was one strike. The food itself is two more strikes combined: from the "local favorites" menu we ordered the fish and chips & battered fish tacos; the fish itself very mushy a sign of frozen fish not fresh considering we're right by the ocean does not equate. One of my girlfriends tacos was not just mushy but also had some tough firm parts of fish as well, not good brothas and sistas. 2/5 stars read more

Sunsets never fails to disappoint! Great place to grab a drink and food while watching the sunset. Nice outdoor patio, and nice indoor space with a pool table and darts. Definitely order the Spam fried rice. read more

The Bloody Marys are delicious because they are spicy. They have good flavor; they don't taste like tomato juice straight. The coconut shrimp is my go-to. The shrimp is fully cooked and crispy, covered in coconut. The sauce that comes with it is fire. I love the view. The service is great. read more

Heard they had $5 Mai tais and the view was nice. Looks like Mai tais are $5 all day Monday. I had two since they are pretty small. For dinner, I had the seared Ahi sandwich and Zucchini fries. Both were delicious. The zucchini fries were crispy, but yet soft. They were seasoned well. The ahi sandwich was big and it came with fries. They do put a sauce in the sandwich that is sweet and can get messy since it also has slaw. I just used a fork. We sat outside and had the best view of the sunset over the ocean. I felt like I was in a tropical island. Our waitress was nice and checked on us often. Parking is available in the back. read more

As the Saturday night progressed, the wait time got much longer HOWEVER, the taquitos alone were worth the wait! We considered getting another order to go to enjoy later as a late night snack. They are home made and hand rolled to literal perfection. The grilled tacos were also phenomenal, and together with the taquitos, harmonious. The dessert really wasn't worth the long wait, but they were good. Emily was a very sweet server and the bathrooms were large and clean. Overall 5 stars. The taquitos are a must. read more

Pool tables here and three bathrooms. I would definitely come back with friends for happy hour and sunset. Tables along patio self seat. People talked to us too- we must look nice or friendly.

Fun drinks, good service, good food with options for sports bar and ocean vibe. Want to hear the waves? Sit outside (heaters available) to catch some ocean views with your cocktail. Rather watch the game? Several TVs throughout the interior. We were watching an NFL playoff game while relaxing after a long day. Cocktails were refreshing. We walked from one of the neighboring hotels. I'd come again. read more

The food here was amazing and food was as well. They had a nice array of options and anything can be added to anything you order. I went on a Friday night around 7 for the sunset. It was packed and service was horrible. There's no hostess so you just sit down and they will get to you when they see you. I saw only two waitresses. The waitress I had was forgetting everything even to refill my drink. You could tell she just had a lot on her plate. I definitely enjoyed the food though. I ordered the angus beef sliders, very good! Oceanfront views and got to see the sunset while having a nice dinner. Calamari for appetizer, was tasty. Not the best, but it was good and they have a great tarter sauce to pair it with. My food was 10 and my friend also voted hers a 10. read more

Total local spot, everyone was soooo friendly. Is this divey? Idk, but I love it. Beach views are incredible. Had to move inside because it was cold. But did I mention locals? We were having conversations with several tables, and I'm not like that. So fun. Service is casual and quick! The food was surprisingly good. I love bar bites so I will be back. And the drinks hit. Helloooo! Parking is atrocious. Keep looking. Cheers! read more

So I always come here for happy hour and today I decided to come on a Sunday for dinner. My hubby and I had the salad with salmon and the quesadillas with pork and I couldn't believe the salmon dish was such a deal ... better than most high end restaurants in the area fresh salmon and perfection at its finest for under $20 a deal. We had constant refills without asking on our iced teas and our waitress was top notch .... Now this is going to be my go to restaurant on a weekly basis. read more

After a long day of travel, we walked into this fun place on PCH. We watched the sunset on the Pacific Ocean, while enjoying very reasonably priced drinks and delicious food. We were lucky to find this perfect place to decompress. I enjoyed the Banh Mi Sliders, but have to go back to try other things on the unique menu. Josh the bartender was extremely friendly and personable. The manager Scott and server Carla also made our visit very fun. We had a nice time and some fun chit chat with the attentive staff and clientele. Thanks from Rich and Brenda. We will be back. read more

I went here the first time today with a friend of mine. We stopped in and had lunch. I have to say it was a very pleasant experience. The service was great and timely! Sitting outside and looking at the ocean, obviously is hard to beat! I love the little add-on touch that they did with the plating and garnishing with flowers. It had a great summer vibe to it, and I will definitely be checking this out again! By the way, the sushi looked amazing! I didn't have it, but I'm definitely going to next time! read more

I was really craving seafood with an ocean view. I ordered the shrimp aguachiles that did not disappoint. There was a great amount of cucumbers, avocado and shrimp. I would go back to order that! The zucchini fries were good and flavorful, but I wish there was less breading and more zucchini. We enjoyed the ambiance of being outside. There needs to be better signage of the entrance to the restaurant. It was towards the back parking lot area behind the restaurant. Our server was sweet, but we had to ask for the check a couple times. Street parking read more

We were vacationing along this road and while we were biking down the coast we noticed this bar. It had such a cute deck facing the ocean we HAD to check it out. And surely enough it had a GORGEOUS view of the ocean! We can for happy hour around 4 and were dining till past the sunset. It was amazing because it wasn't very crowded and happy hour food was great! We ordered: -chicken quesadillas -teriyaki chicken bowls (HH) -bahn mi sliders -kalua pork tacos (HH) -choco lava bites Everything was yummy!!! I would say the teriyaki chicken wasn't the most amazing I've ever had but it was still good and a great value for the price. Satisfied my teriyaki craving. The quesadillas were really yummy and the coco lava bites are a MUST! Service was great too. There was only one lady waiting on tables and we were surprised that she could remember our large order without writing anything down! So skilled! read more

I think all ratings should be in the context of what you are reviewing. As far as bar food / bar experience goes, this place is 5 stars. This rating is based on two visits. - can't beat the view (hence the name), but you are elevated above PCH, so it can be noisy. We sat on the patio. - service can be very slow when crowded, but still friendly -$5 Mai Tai during happy hour. Good flavor, good amount of alcohol - Sharkbait gin drink - fantastically tropical - Spicy Tuna bites: these were absolutely shockingly flavorful. Light won tons, fresh tuna. I will get these on every visit. - Banh Mi Sliders: the mix of coconut, spice, cucumbers and chicken was awesome - Chicken tacos: chipotle cream kept the chicken moist. Very good. - Chicken Nachos: These were fine. Good for kids or with beers, but nowhere near the unique flavors and preparations of the other items we ate read more
