Places in Irvine, CA with bar boxes

[rons819]

I'll be travelling to the Irvine, CA area soon. I have a tournament coming up the weekend after I get back that will be played on bar boxes, so I need to get some practice in on them.

Can anyone suggest places in the Irvine or surrounding areas where I can play on bar boxes? Ideally, some place that's not too divey . Thanks.

Bar boxes in the Irvine area. That's a tough one. I'm sure there are plenty of them but having a good recommendation is another thing. Here are my picks -

Patricks Pub in Costa Mesa
Shooters in Mission Viejo
The Swinging Door in Tustin
Iron Mule in Lake Forest (not sure if it's still there)

They're not divey but they are a little rough around the edges.

Shooters in Huntington Beach has 4 new Diamond bar boxes.

Will you have a car??
As Abe said Shooters in HB has the best equipment. 4 Diamond 7' with pro-cut pockets. The Saturday tourney has some good competition.
Patrick's Pub is okay.
The Swinging door is definitely a dive. Newport 5 in the same area is just a touch better.
Garfs in Costa Mesa is okay with good food.
Actually the Huddle in Costa Mesa might offer the best undisturbed practice.
