Cassidy's Bar & Grill
Inside Cassidy's Bar & Grill
Cassidy's Bar & Grill sits on Newport Boulevard with a reputation that’s more dive bar than polished beachside lounge—an unpretentious spot where locals gather to unwind and catch up. If you’re looking to avoid the usual Newport Beach crowds and high-end menus, Cassidy’s offers a grounded neighborhood vibe that’s both familiar and welcoming.
The bar leans heavily into its laid-back identity with sturdy, comforting fare and strong drinks. The Patty Melt stands out as a crowd favorite, often paired with a splash of their distinctive PepperPlant sauce, making it a go-to for those craving a hearty, no-fuss meal. Alongside it, classic options like the BLT hold their own, loaded with crispy bacon and simple flavors done well.
Inside, the atmosphere is far from formal. You’ll find plenty of regulars who appreciate the combination of billiards, TV screens, and a sound system tuned just right for background music. The bartenders here are known for keeping drinks flowing strong and orders accurate, often building a rapport that turns casual stops into regular evenings out.
While the location is conveniently close to the heart of Newport Beach, it doesn’t attract the upscale crowd you might see at nearby hotspots. Instead, Cassidy’s fills the niche of a local watering hole—a place where people stop in for stiff drinks, good company, and enough space to relax without pretense. It’s especially suited for weekday evenings or weekends when you want to catch a game, shoot pool, or share a round with friends without burning a hole in your wallet.
If you’re into dive bar energy combined with reliably solid bar food and a friendly atmosphere, Cassidy’s Bar & Grill serves that up without fuss—anchoring a piece of the Newport Beach community that’s tough to find elsewhere.
