The Wayfarer

Fun place to go too see live bands.

Red Strat first performance.Tim Taber lead singer.

What a weird night. I’ve never gone to a bar where they interrupt your evening, demanding that you pay money to stay. We got to the bar around 8:45. No cover at the door (it’s early, understandable). Bought a couple rounds of drinks and were talking with other customers when two of the bar staff walk up with a clipboard and let us know that if we plan on staying, we have to pay a cover. Otherwise we will be kicked out at 9:30. In what world do you demand money from people already within your bar? Every bar/club/venue in OC would start charging a cover for new arrivals around 10pm. Even if they charged a cover at the door from the very beginning, we would have paid. Making the rounds to the already-paying customers inside your bar is weird, and kills whatever environment you were hoping to have. We won’t be back and will be telling everyone to do the same. It’s a shame too, the ambience and people are great.

Great local club to catch live Music! The staff are really friendly and their burgers are excellent. The sound system is amazing! Support local music!!

Had a great time, the service was excellent at the bar and the venue was nice too!

Came here on a Saturday night. Literally nobody there. It was empty. Bartender (Zack, literally spoke 3 words to him) kicked me and my friends out for no reason despite the fact that we were totally respectful and calm. I was totally respectful of their requests to talk to me and they wouldn’t talk to me. The bouncer had no idea why we got kicked out yet called me a “f**” when i asked to discuss the problem. DO NOT COME HERE. Edit: hilarious that I can write this while “drunk” but the bartender can’t explain why he kicked me out. Ridiculous.

Came on a Wednesday, had the special of the day (rib platter). Was delicious. Service was great. 2 pool tables and live band.

expensive sometimes for the entrance fee but super fun and good drinks

Did not expect them to turn me away, especially since nowhere on their website did they say they require ID to enter(let alone physical ID). Drive 40 minutes to support a friend in a band, wasn’t even planning on drinking. Disappointing to say the least. I was able to go next door and buy beer without an ID though! Needless to say I won’t be coming back here nor will I recommend this place.
