Bars & Nightlife

First off you should know that *most* of the places around here cater to more of a 'middle-aged' crowd, so if you're looking for music get ready for a classic rock or hits of the 80's event. Most of these bars are also restaurants and serve food ranging from bar eats to fine dining but primarily these are drinking establishments.
24701 Del Prado Ave. Dana Point ★★★★ $$$ : Dance floor with live bands most nights. Good drink selection. Inside can be a bit loud but outside patio is comfortable with fireplaces.

Restaurant and bar on opposite sides of the pier. Can't beat the view - you're literally sitting over the breaking waves. Food is ok but nothing special. Drinks and view are what this is all about. Can be busy leading up to sundown - you'll know why if you go - but nothing to see after dark.
