Reviews for The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa, CA
Decent place. It?s a low key bar with authentic themes. Last time I went it was very hot and too loud for the ears. It wasn?t... enjoyable. Read more
What a weird night. I?ve never gone to a bar where they interrupt your evening, demanding that you pay money to stay. We got to... the bar around 8:45. No cover at the door (it?s early, understandable). Bought a couple rounds of drinks and were talking withother customers when two of the bar staff walk up with a clipboard and let us know that if we plan on staying, we have to pay acover. Otherwise we will be kicked out at 9:30. In what world do you demand money from people already within your bar? Everybar/club/venue in OC would start charging a cover for new arrivals around 10pm. Even if they charged a cover at the door fromthe very beginning, we would have paid. Making the rounds to the already-paying customers inside your bar is weird, and killswhatever environment you were hoping to have. We won?t be back and will be telling everyone to do the same. It?s a shame too,the ambience and people are great. Read more
Came here on a Saturday night. Literally nobody there. It was empty. Bartender (Zack, literally spoke 3 words to him) kicked me... and my friends out for no reason despite the fact that we were totally respectful and calm. I was totally respectful of theirrequests to talk to me and they wouldn?t talk to me. The bouncer had no idea why we got kicked out yet called me a ?f**? when iasked to discuss the problem. DO NOT COME HERE. Edit: hilarious that I can write this while ?drunk? but the bartender can?texplain why he kicked me out. Ridiculous. Read more
Did not expect them to turn me away, especially since nowhere on their website did they say they require ID to enter(let alone... physical ID). Drive 40 minutes to support a friend in a band, wasn?t even planning on drinking. Disappointing to say the least.I was able to go next door and buy beer without an ID though! Needless to say I won?t be coming back here nor will I recommendthis place. Read more
Went here for the VANS US Open concert. It was a good venue. Very relaxed vibes.
Absolutely love 90s night at the Wayfarer. The band is great! So energetic the whole time they are up there. The crowd is... amazing too. I haven't been any other night but Friday nights this is one of my favorite places to go to sing and dance withfriends. Highly recommend for a bit of weekend nostalgia. Read more
This place was a lot of fun. Went there with some friends to check it out. The K.J. on Sunday Nights is awesome. Too bad the... wait to sing is so long. But that's a testament to how good Bobby Vegas is at his job! Read more
Came on a Wednesday, had the special of the day (rib platter). Was delicious. Service was great. 2 pool tables and live band.
