Anchor Bar

Pretty cool spot. It's more of a local bar so don't expect that much of a wilder crowd. Good for a beer with a buddy. Food is as good as you would expect from a dive bar....edible

The best comedy open mic in Orange County is Monday Nights at Anchor Bar. Great atmosphere and a perfect sized room for comedy.

I've been coming to the Anchor Bar now ( I'd say almost religiously ) for the past 3 months or so.  Tried out a few of the different nights there and found myself really loving the Monday Night open mic they got going on.

They have a great happy hour until 6pm and a decent beer selection (they carry a few great local craft brews) .. shots are about SoCal average priced so it makes for a good lil drinker's bar. The food isn't half bad either .. I've had some pretty tasty Buffalo wings and Pizza here.. topped off with a pitcher of beer makes for a great night watching the last realm of free speech in 'Merica!

I wish I had the guts to tell jokes here. The comedy on Monday night can range from some very lowbrow dick jokes to some the funniest upper echelon and most sophisticated dick jokes. :) It's all mostly really funny stuff and all the comedians are a fun bunch to watch (well, there was this rather slender and troubled asian fellow that ranted for a bit, but no one seemed to pay him much attention)

I've brought some online friends here from time to time and they've even had a real good time. At least that's what I've gathered from their response, I don't hear back  from them much after meeting them in person alot. I would have given this place 5 stars but the hot bartender Crystal still hasn't accepted my friend request on Facebook or returned any of my private messages. Which means I guess i just need to tip her more, she'll come around eventually.
