I never write reviews, but after last night I am compelled to do so. I am giving a one star rating for the bartender Eve and the server Jordan. I placed my food order, specifically asked Eve if the short rib sandwich or the ribeye would be a better option, she said the short rib, so l went with the sandwich. I was served a Pork Shoulder. If it was anything else I would have accepted the mistake, but I don’t eat pork unless it’s crispy bacon. As Jordan was taking the food back, Eve took it upon herself to make me feel as if I made the mistake and questioned again what I would like. I reiterated our conversation, she smiled and went to the kitchen. I too got up to use the restroom and once I turned the corner, Eve and Jordan were again talking about me as if I made the mistake, Eve turned around, had a shocked look on her face and that’s when I asked her to close me out. She of course, was embarrassed and then offered to buy my beer. It was completely unprofessional. I don’t know if she’s new, but there weren’t that many people when I placed my order, she looked flustered. As I was leaving Jordan decided to insult me when I told her I am in business and that’s not how l or our employees would service anyone, she laughed and said
“I’m sure you wouldn’t be here if you owned anything” that was shocking. Jordan would not be working for me anymore if that’s how she felt about my business or viewed my customers. I usually do enjoy this place. The food is great, which is why I would’ve accepted anything else, but if they are working, I won’t be in.

I can only say it again and again, this bar is the place in Santa Ana. We come here once a year for a convention and usually spend some nights at Mission Bar. The beer selection is unmatched. The bartender is a sweetheart who always makes sure you‘re happy and is always down for a chat. Also pool and good music. Nice people all around, even if you come here as a foreigner, everyone‘s welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Walked here and it wasn’t clear that this was the place. Signage could be bigger and better. Beer selection was very good. They had all types of beer. Neighborhood is not a place i would go at night. Bar staff was very nice and friendly.

The bartenders are always awesome here! Such an amazing environment, never seen any fights break out while I was here. I now live in the high desert and will drive down here to enjoy a night out with friends

I had always wanted to visit this place because it seemed really cool. Yesterday, Sunday 1/19, I finally got the chance to go with my boyfriend around 2 PM. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t great due to the chubby bartender that was there at that time. When my boyfriend asked if they had any shots, the bartender responded rudely, saying they didn’t and sarcastically offering a shot of wine instead. He also seemed to ignore us most of the time and took a long time to check back to see if we wanted another beer. It’s disappointing because I’d been looking forward to trying this bar, but our visit was ruined by poor service.

Great Place, but the Vibe Has Changed

Oh my God, I used to love this place, and honestly, I still feel a connection to it, but it’s definitely changed over the years. When I first came here, the vibe was different, and it had this underground Santa Ana subculture that I really enjoyed. The bar, which was run by Vanessa, felt like a underground haven–slightly rundown with the shoddiest restrooms, but it had that authentic, gritty charm. The pool tables were usually in decent shape, and the bar always had cool, unique brews, including microbrews. The place felt cozy despite being so small, and when it got packed, you were basically sardined into the whole space. They had an adjacent outdoor section that was rarely utilized, but you could tell it had potential.

I’ve lived here for a long time, and I’ve always appreciated the diversity in Santa Ana. But this bar used to be about that punkish unique underground micro brew vibe culture(my opinion)–it was never overly focused on any one particular ethnicity. It felt like the space catered to a mix of people, but recently, I’ve noticed it’s shifted. The atmosphere has leaned more toward a hyper-Mexican, Banda-style vibe. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about that, but it’s definitely a change. In talking to locals, there’s been a sense that just because you’re from a certain country doesn’t mean you want everything around you to be about that. As a Hispanic American, I get that–we don’t always want the place we hang out to feel like it’s only representing our cultural background.

I’m not sure when this shift happened, but it’s possible the pandemic played a role in it. Before that, the bar had more of a microbrew, underground beer culture, and now it feels like it’s become part of the Santa Ana “Banda” norm. Whether it was the owner’s vision or just the pressures of what sells, it’s hard to say. But the place has definitely moved away from the punkish / alternative Santa Ana night scene and embraced something new. Now, if you’re into Banda music, tacos, and a lot of Mexican-American influence, you’ll love it. Again, no hate on that–just pointing out that it’s not the underground, microbrew culture that originally drew people in. It’s now a whole different vibe.
