Balboa Saloon Sports Bar ·$$

Balboa Saloon has established itself as one of the most popular watering holes in Orange County with plenty of beer, music and friendly faces to talk to. You can pair your spirit with a tasty sider like a sandwich or a pizza. The interiors are rather fascinating but if you are squeamish about huge sea animals that have paid a trip to the friendly neighborhood taxidermist, you might not like all the stuffed sharks adorning the walls. However, it adds a touch of the nautical to this Balboa Island bar. Cheer on your favorite team whilst you watch them play on television, or indulge in a fun game of darts if you so please.

Don't be fooled as I was. This is not a Niner Bar. Dive, yes. Locals, yes. Niner fans, no.
