The Balboa Saloon in Newport Beach has been a cornerstone of local history for over a century. As the owner, I’m proud to carry on a legacy that’s part of the very fabric of this coastal community. When you walk through the doors, you’re stepping into a space that blends nostalgia with the vibrant energy of today’s crowd. We’ve kept the original charm, with its rustic wood interiors and vintage décor, while offering a laid-back atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Whether it’s a casual night out or a special occasion, the Balboa Saloon is about good drinks, great company, and a touch of local history. It’s a place where memories are made, and it feels like home to so many who walk through our doors.
Low-key hangout featuring brews & bar bites, plus TVs, billiards & darts in unfussy surrounds.

Great dive bar, if there is such a thing on Balboa Peninsula. If you’re from New Orleans you’ll definitely dig it. Good times.

Me and my hubby been docking boats or ferry-hopping our bikes to Balboa saloon since the seventies. Half the year we live in Newport, half Montana-where whiskey still hollers your name out there. This here’s our bar, our heartbeat. Fourth we light it up, holidays on lock, pool tables bruised from our elbows, salt and lager thick as perfume. Ensenada-Newport race? Honey, we command this place like pirates. The Owner finally did somethin’ right-floor don’t grab my flip-flops, somebody’s moppin’! Jeff’s still king behind the bar, new gals laugh real, pour cold, TVs sharp as knives. Only hitch-get Cruisers to wing it over so we quit dodgin’ Death Trap Balboa Boulevard. Five stars, fat tip, and girl-we’re bringin’ every neighbor, every sunburned neighbor’s dog, every salty soul we love down here to share the buzz we just crashed into.

Our first time there, but Jeff made it feel like back home. He filled us in on some of the local lore and the history of the bar itself with such warm energy. Lots of laughs were had as well.
May Jeff always be tipped well and never have to eat mayo– his mortal sandwich enemy.
It will def be an annual trip to visit a special place with such a special person. Tell him Hellcat sent ya.

Very disappointing experience. The older male bartender was extremely rude. As a visitor to the area, I found this treatment disheartening and unacceptable.

Just thought I’d hop on here to elaborate that yes, everything that these people that are giving one stars are saying is true. Most of the good ones are from the locals who seem to either not be aware or have the favor of the owner or something because that old lady is in no place to be running a business. I look forward to seeing the truth of the way she carries herself to come out, because it’s messed up how she’s treating people.
