Pubs Of Orange County: Our Mission
This Guide entry is designed to provide information on good pubs in and around Orange County, CA. This editor and editing staff defines a good pub as a place to meet people, to have a good drink and relax in an interesting and unconventional atmosphere. The intention is to create a directory which weeds out sports bars and dives, and focuses especially on true "Irish" and "English" pubs, which can be hard to find in the Orange Country, CA area. This entry will explore the atmosphere, friendliness, and "feel" of various locations, but will not be a discourse on the quality of their beer.
Orange County; The Weirdest Place On Earth
Orange County, CA, is perhaps one of the weirdest places to live on earth. "OC" is a bizaare conglomeration of the extraordinarily wealthy, the insanely freakish and the most militant conservatives. To really understand how Orange County works, you must live there; I do not, however, recommend doing this. The nearest you should get is reading this article, which I believe is a fairly accurate brief description.
The Quest For The Holy Ale (to be researched)
Muldoon's Irish Pub (no web site) 202 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA USA
Hennessey's Tavern This location is very large and open and has a large variety of liquors and beers. While not a full bar, Hennessey's serves items which are, in Orange County, considered a novelty, such as Tullamore Dew, Irish coffee, and Irish menu items which are not limited to the typical not-so-Irish cabbage and corned beef. Their food is excellent for the price and the menu is large and available until the bar closes at ---.
