Speakeasy
2948 Randolph Avenue, Costa Mesa
Good ol' country fun
This one is one hell of a vibe, It's got a lot to love.
Cowboys and Poodles looks like a kitschy, casual, western-themed storefront, and inside is a small front establishment for the speakeasy itself.
They lead you through a hidden door, and wow. They've worked really hard to build an almost playhouse-like, western, 'home-on-the-range' aesthetic.
They nailed it, I loved it, and there are so many fun photo opportunities.
A confessional booth, a bar under a wagon-cover - it's awesome.
And, speaking relatively, it's not too popular yet. It's a small place, so it will fill up if you don't arrive on time, but if you plan properly you should get in quick without much of a hitch.
And to top it all off, I don't think I've ever seen a western style speakeasy before. This might be the only one. I'll report back here if I find another.
Highly recommend, go have fun. :)
