"Vibrant and buzzy, Driftwood combines a restaurant, bar, and arcade where I enjoyed live music, house cocktails, and a broad beer selection alongside menu items like 'Lake Mac & Cheese,' 'The Lonesome Dove' burger, and Nebraskan steaks." - Angela Lian Angela Lian Angela Lian was the editorial intern at Travel + Leisure.

Great little neighborhood bar. Cold beer and 2 pool tables, jukebox. Many 55" TVs for sports.

Bartender on Mondays is great! Very attentive and does her job well. Pizza place next door is delicious, I highly recommend if you like pizza with a sweet pizza sauce and thick cheese. It was very yummy. Bar is clean, and has sports on the TVs. Gets a little loud during Monday night football but that makes it fun. I would recommend this place to a friend.

I can't believe I hadn't been inside here until last week, so I don't know how it looked before the remodel, but this is the best "locals" pub I've ever seen. They don't serve liquor but have amazing prices on wine, beer, and sparkling with daily specials and have prestine pool tables and cues to go with the beautiful paint and decor job. Looks brand new but has the feel of the favorite dive bar. Will definitely be coming back soon to try the next-door pizza, which they don't mind you bringing in (they don't have a kitchen)

Great place! Still alot of the old Gang, a bunch of newer people. I managed this place for 15yrs, much cleaner, great service, much nicer now. Kelly is only holdover- a great Gal! I no longer drink but still love to stop by! Good local Pub...

Good people, friendly, professional yet visually and even mentally stimulating helpful bartenders with an inviting clean dive bar atmosphere. Pool tables and cue sticks are perfect and kept always to a tee. 2 tables and some solid local players

Such a fun local bar and I always enjoy having Tria as my bartender. I love working out at the gym across the street and then going over for a little socialization. It feels like a second family.

Best neighborhood beer and wine bar in Hb. Candy is the great bartender. She is so sweet, very friendly. She has good memories, remember my name and what kind of wine I like . The price is very reasonable and clean place. I am so glad that this wine and beer bar is so close to my house, less than 5 mins walking. It is a hidden germ. They have game days here if you like to watch sports.

First time in this bar and we had an amazing time. Came to play some pool and met some really awesome people. I've been wanting to stop in for quite some time just haven't made the time since I don't live as close to the area anymore. The customer service was phenomenal and Candy the bartender was an absolute sweetheart and extremely welcoming. Will definitely be returning.

Our new favorite bar! (Beer & wine only) We heard about driftwood from several locals and finally stopped in while we waited for a pizza from next door. Tria the bartender was so sweet and KILLING it! The only bartender and the place was very crowded on a Friday afternoon during their awesome happy hour! *2-7 m-f Very friendly crowd. We came back the next day to have our rainy day brightened again by Tria Just go! You can bring food in and there's a mexi cafe as well as pizza in the complex.

This is a neighborhood bar full of locals, but they are welcoming to all. Charlie, the owner, appreciates his clientele and throws awesome holiday parties and events. They don't serve food, but you can bring in whatever you want.

Local bar is upgraded so it's nice. You can play pool ;it had a few tables! I like the ambiance for a dive bar! The bar is clean. The restrooms are clean. I like the beer selections . And they have specials on most nights. They have jukebox music. Seating inside at the bar or tabletops. It is open late It sometimes gets crowded but otherwise just right

This place is bitching. Great atmosphere, low cost. Great for watching sports there are so many TVs. No full bar alcohol, but that keeps out the unruly alcoholic fighting crowds that plague most other bars of Huntington Beach!

Great neighborhood joint. Fun to watch football here as they have all the games on and great drink specials. They don't have a menu but the 2x I've been here they've had free food.. Last time was great Asian food! Free! Just think about (and leave) a tip. I promise... You'll be shocked about how cheap your tab is! See you here on Sunday. Found my spot.

On April 1st my husband and I came to have a few drinks at Driftwood. Upon our arrival it was a little busy and there was only one server. We understood that she was under a lot of pressure but after 20 min of waiting I decided to get myself a drink. The young lady had a Burrito in her hand while the sauce was dripping down her hand she was serving alcohol. She wouldn't even put her food down but continued on serving alcohol to everyone. It' was very disgusting how she was chewing her food and serving my drinks. VERY UNSANITARY!

Loved going here. They have free pool and the brews are decently priced. The vibe is totally laid back and relaxing. They do not serve hard alcohol, but have a huge selection of beer and wine. The bathrooms were super clean too, which was unexpected for a bar. The bar staff was really friendly. We would love to go back next time we are in town!

Yelp
We loved this place! My girlfriend and I went in to have a beer and play a couple games of pool. Their server was playing the best music through the jukebox, her name was Chelsie. She made us feel at home right away. A few locals came and whipped up on us in pool and it was a ton of fun. If you want to go somewhere with cool people and great vibes go here!

This is a great little bar to watch the game or shoot some pool. I think it's only beer and wine but they have a cool deal where buy 4 beers the 5th one is free. I've been there several times and the servers and customers are very nice.

Recently moved back to HB and I was looking for my new watering hole. This place is it! Tracey/Tracy and Coral are both amazing, especially Coral (just because I have interacted with her more). They have amazing prices and everyone is super friendly. Even the locals. My old watering hole that I have been going to for 11+ years.... those locals still weren't THIS friendly with me. I am so happy to have found this place and I cannot wait to spend every Sunday here come football season. FYI - It is beer and wine only.

Best bar in Huntington Beach in my opinion. Everyone is friendly, they have more than fair prices, the jukebox is great, clean establishment with excellent owners and staff! They have great deals throughout the week and weekend which are definitely worth stopping in and checking out!

Stopped in to relax and enjoy a beer at a local digg. Definitely a local dive/sports bar. Location is great if you live near the beach in Huntington Beach. Very friendly bartender and other locals at the bar were open and inviting. Great place to go and watch a game/fight without the headache of the overcrowded beachside bars.

This is a great bar in HB! It's clean it doesn't smell everyone is friendly and you don't have to worry about getting into bar fights. They even had the UFC fight. Free Tacos on Tuesday and wine Wednesday for the ladies. Pool tables are new and the juke box has every song u can think of. Lots of fun! I highly recommend this place!

Local beer & wine watering hole. Awesome bartenders and Hb patrons. Beer is always cold and served with a smile and great conversation. Pool tables and great showing games etc. They also don't mind if you bring in outside food to eat at bar.

Beer and Wine Local Yokals spot. Cool bartenders, cheap drinks and you can bring in food. Most of the regulars live in walking or biking distance. Updated and facelifted. Cool place to watch a game. Coral is da home girl. Recommended if you have a good positive attitude. If not, check out Main St. lots of options for you there.

Great spot for playing pool. Bartenders are super friendly and attentive. Always your favorite game on tv and free ufc. Nice option if you want to stay away from Main Street.

Uh, this place is legit. Coming from the girl that barely tolerated the place that was here before, I'm SUPER happy with whomever took this place over and redid everything - nice work! It's nicely done, drink prices are good and you can play pool. Feels good to have this kind of place in HB for the locals.

Been driving by this place and don't know why we never stopped till Monday night. Very clean and what a difference from the Black Watch. The bartender was super friendly and helpful and the place had a good crowd for a week night. They have very reasonable prices. Will definitely be coming back to this place. It wasn't to loud and they have a lot of TVs with sports on. They say they have free UFC so if your into that that's huge as most places charge.

Brianna S.

Always a nice place to visit for a casual drink! The bartenders there are SO nice. The crowd is always interesting but filled with very nice people.

Great little local bar. Came here for a UFC fight. It was free which was nice. Country music til the fight started. There was 1 female bartender. She knew all the regulars and handled the bar well. I wish they had 3 behind a bar for a busy fight night. There were times I had to wait awhile for the next drink. Only beer n wine. No hard liquor or food. They do allow outside food. Overall a good experience. I prob won't go back cause i don't like leaving to get food and I do like cocktails at the end of night. To each his own...

Kelly N.

Yelp
Remodeled and looking fabulous! Local spot in the heart of Huntington Beach. They have a great selection of beers on tap and bottle. Their wine night is my favorite, Wine Wednesday!! They have 6-7 large flat screen tvs that the staff is always willing to put the game on I'm wanting to see, as long as it's available on tv. The reason I keep going back to this establishment is because of the service. The bartenders are always warm and welcoming to me and my friends. The owners make it a point to say hello if they are around. Coral, Trayce, Kelly and Tria thanks for being amazing!!!
