StillWater Spirits & Sounds is a vibrant dining destination located in Dana Point, California, offering patrons a lively atmosphere paired with excellent food and live music. Customers rave about the relaxing yet energetic vibe, especially on weekends when the restaurant fills with the rhythm of talented bands that encourage dancing. Arturo Revelo emphasized the fun atmosphere but noted his experience was focused on the music rather than the menu.

Just a stone's throw from the beach, the outdoor patio is a favored spot for sports fans, where refreshing drinks like the spicy Bloody Marys shine. Kay G highlights this alongside delicious specials, such as the hearty fried chicken on Wednesdays, and encourages trying the popular burger or the Doheny salad for a taste that won't disappoint.

Michael Guymon shared an exceptional dining experience, praising the service and unique flavors of the dishes, while others like kitkatticktack123 mentioned mixed results regarding their drink service but still found the food compelling, especially the legendary burrito. Overall, StillWater Spirits & Sounds promises a delightful blend of culinary and musical experiences, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a festive night out.

We didn’t get any food, so I can’t see if it was good or bad. But the service was fine and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. The live band they had was so good that almost everybody was dancing. I think if you’re in the area on a Friday or Saturday, and you just wanna let your footloose, stop in here. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.

Relaxed sports and music bar. Outdoor patio is nice and the bar caters to whatever game is on. Their bloody Mary’s are killer- fresh and super spicy. They have a fried chicken special on Wednesday nights which is delicious and a great deal. Otherwise the burger or Doheny salad is the way to go. Inside often has live music and is a totally different vibe/scene than the patio but I prefer dining al fresco, so I’ve never sat in.

The food was really good. The burrito was legendary. Went on a Sunday and it was super busy for the school of rock concert. The ice water was a little sus, several of our drinks had weird black sand like grains at the bottom of the cup. Maybe check/clean ice filter?? Not sure what the issue was with that but otherwise it’s a fun place with great food.

The service was some of the best I've ever had, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the entire evening. The food was absolutely amazing, with every dish declaring its own unique flavor and quality. Along with the food, the live music made the atmosphere of the place just perfect. The restaurant and bar itself was a comfortable and luxurious spot that delivered a great experience. Overall, I highly recommend StillWater to anyone looking for a great night out with excellent food, drinks, service, and music. Five stars!

Came here for their highly rated patio and good ratings and was extremely impressed with everything. Very clean, delicious drinks and huge selection to go off of. Fish and chips were the best my wife and I have ever ate and our server was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable with drinks and the menu and gave good advice on what to try. Would definitely return here and recommend visiting for anyone who is thinking about it! I didn’t get to see the inside as I only stayed at the outside patio/bar area and the only thing that would make this better is location (there wasn’t much of a view outside).

StillWater in Dana Point is hands down one of my favorite spots in town! They have the **best Taco Tuesday** around—fresh, flavorful tacos at great prices, making it a must-visit every week. On weekends, their **live music is epic**, creating the perfect high-energy atmosphere. And let’s talk about the **steaks**—fantastic quality, cooked to perfection, and well-priced, making it a standout on the menu. What truly sets StillWater apart is the heart behind the business. I was beyond impressed by the **owner’s personal involvement** in helping LA fire victims, turning their special events room into a **donation hub for drop-offs, sorting, and distribution** for weeks. That kind of leadership and care for the community is rare, and I’m proud to support a business with such integrity. Amazing food, great vibes, and a place that truly gives back—StillWater is the real deal!
