Fun vibe and concept with DJ on a Friday night. Range of casual dress to those wanting to impress. Creative cocktails, creative decor, perfect for Insta crowd seeking carriage photo fun. Super small venue. No designated dance floor, but shake that booty!

Cowboys and Poodles was our first stop on a bar hopping Wednesday night. We were wondering why the front door wouldn’t budge when a wooden panel at eye-level suddenly slid open with a bang! The bouncer checked our ID’s and let us inside. “Oh, it’s a speakeasy,” we chatted among ourselves. I thought it was just gonna be a regular bar. I also thought that speakeasies were supposed to be hidden.

The inside of the speakeasy was very Western themed and decorated. The bar was placed right in the center of the room, covered by what seemed to be the hood of a covered wagon. To the left, an old-timey carriage. To the left, a confession booth bathed in sinful red light. You can sit in either of these props, or saddle up on a horse’s behind next to the bar.

On this particular Wednesday night, there was a very nice man offering free spirit samples in the back corner of the bar. His name was Michael, and let us try several of the spirits from his brand, Tin City Distillery. I really liked the Fig Brandy and Chocolate Vodka, which he said won double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

The bartenders were very nice and efficient. I had the Cowboy Blues, which was a Paper Plane inspired cocktail with blueberry. The drink was well rounded, having the depth from the bourbon, but still light and refreshing from the blueberry and lemon. My favorite drink of the night, however, was the Sundance Kid, which was very light and easy to drink.

I had a great time at Cowboys and Poodles, but a minor incident with other guests did affect my night when I went to use the restroom. The restrooms are gender-neutral and single-occupancy. When I tried the door, it was locked, so I stepped aside and waited. A moment later, a woman briefly opened the door, saw me, glared, and shut it again. “Odd,” I thought as I continued to wait.

My friend later walked over to ask if it was still occupied. When he gently checked the handle — which was still locked — the same woman opened the door again, glared at us, and said, “Can you guys chill? There are women in here,” before leaving with her friend. It became clear that two people had been using the single-use restroom together for quite some time.

I don’t believe the restroom was being used for its intended purpose, and in a bar where many guests will naturally need to use the facilities, long waits caused by misuse can be frustrating. I also felt unfairly antagonized despite behaving exactly as any waiting guest would. While I understand the bar cannot control every guest’s behavior, this experience did highlight how easily the restrooms can become bottlenecked — especially since there is no indicator on the doors showing when they are occupied.

It may be helpful for the business to keep an eye on restroom usage, or consider adding an occupied/vacant indicator, to ensure all guests can access the facilities at a reasonable pace. For context, the second restroom was also in use, though by a single person who did not react negatively when someone checked the handle — which is understandable given that there is no way to tell from the outside whether the restroom is occupied.

Overall, I had a great time at Cowboys and Poodles. I really liked the free spirit sampling. I thought the decor was really cool. And I thought the drinks were yummy. I hope to have a better experience on my next visit.

This spot is a true speakeasy with a hidden entrance (tattoos, anyone?). Once inside, the vibe is both playful & immersive. The walls feature large digital screens looping cinematic scenes that make you feel transported..at one moment, you’re standing in a rain-soaked Wild West town with carriages rolling by, the next you’re peeking into moody, surreal landscapes.

Unique seating adds to the experience: we were cozy in the confessional box (perfect for 2), while another group fit comfortably in the carriage (seating 4). A disco ball throws playful reflections across the space, layering modern nightlife energy over the speakeasy’s quirky, vintage feel.

The bartenders were attentive & fun, & during our visit there was even a tattoo pop-up happening inside..complete with someone getting inked while sipping cocktails. It’s eclectic, memorable, & one-of-a-kind.

We will definitely be back!

Super sweet bar, with absolutely amazing cocktails. We had The Horse with no Name and Golden Hour and loved them. Eva, the owner is super sweet and plans to install a photo booth. 🙂

Cowboys and Poodles is a fun speakeasy that draws you in as soon as you walk through the door. The ambiance is unique and sets the mood without trying too hard.

The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. The live music adds a nice touch and brings the room to life without being too loud.

Whether you’re out with friends or looking for a relaxed place to enjoy a drink, Cowboys and Poodles is an easy choice. I’d happily recommend it.

If you’re ever in the area of The Camp in Costa Mesa, make sure you check this spot out. Enter through the front door. If the door is locked, knock and have your identification ready. Once verified, you walk through the main entrance and pass through a secondary door. The bar is western themed, with a flavor of poodles, hence the name. This is a craft cocktail spot, and fresh ingredients is prepared in-house. The bartenders here are steps above your average bartender, as drinks are well balanced. The bartenders do work off menu, but please refrain from a Captain and Coke or vodka cranberry, and of course, that dreaded Fireball. Step out of your comfort zone and taste the flavors! The staff is very personable and more than accommodating. The ambiance is very cool! Kick back and enjoy the moment! Cocktails only, so plan solid sustenance accordingly. Enjoy!

Wow — I had such a warm welcome from the door girl here. If your goal is to feel talked down to and judged before you even make it inside, this is absolutely the place to go! She must be running the entire operation, given how much authority she clearly thinks she has. It’s almost impressive how someone can turn “checking IDs” into a full-blown power trip. Management might want to remind her that hospitality usually involves being… you know, hospitable.

I was influenced by instagram to come here. The decor was odd. The drinks were a little too unique for me. The live music was good but loud so hard to hear each other talking. One of the bartenders was a little rude when asked to remove one of the ingredients from a drink she stated that it would not be enjoyable then two girls sat next to us in chairs and she told them that they couldn’t sit there with attitude. Also the bartenders kept slamming their drinks and shakers which was loud and obnoxious plus they kept splashing the drinks on my arms. Others seemed to be enjoying themselves but just wasn’t for me.

Had an amazing time last night (8/27) at Cowboys & Poodles! Both Mo & Chris were attentive and welcoming; making it feel like home and a place where I can be myself! Cocktails were delicious and perfectly crafted/balanced. There was a pop up cowboy show that happened out of nowhere, which caught me by surprise, it was so much fun and entertaining to be part of! Definitely something new and unique I’ve seen done at a cocktail bar. Needless to say I will definitely be back for the good vibes and amazing drinks!

The final stop in the Speakeasy Adventure was a blast. We waited a bit to get in (15-18 min) but it was totally worth it! They have a nice cocktail selection and tasty drinks. The music was pumping and we got to hang out in a carriage while we sipped.
