From Fairmont Newport Beach Best Nearby Nightlife (10 Overall Closest) Metro: Newport Beach, CA Muldoon's Dublin Pub & Celtic Bar (Nightlife - Bars) 202 Newport Center Dr, Newport Beach  CA  92660 • 949-640-4110 Distance: ~3.79 mi         Description: NEWPORT BEACH. Seven TVs (including two flat-screens and a large-screen plasma) ensure that sports fans crowd into Muldoon's to cheer on their favorite teams. Although the TVs are a nice perk, what makes the pub truly special is its authenticity – after all, it was founded by two brothers from the Emerald Isle. Indeed, it's as cozy as can be, from atmospheric red-brick walls and dark-stained woods to an imported bar (it, too, is a product of Ireland!). Traditional pub grub adds to the place's character, as does the ever-so-important Guinness draught. Live music is featured Friday through Sunday.

If all you need to make you happy is a cold brew and a laid-back, friendly place to watch the game on TV, give Rudy's a try.

TVs of all shapes and sizes (30 plasma screens!) surround the main seating area, promising clear sight lines no matter how packed the place is. A retractable roof and a patio bar are great when the weather's particularly nice.

A classy yet casual place to gather and watch games on the tube, NBBC is located in what was once Delaney's Seafood Market in historic Cannery Village. The spacious brewpub delivers consistently great beer (a fact backed up by numerous awards) while also serving unforgettable bar eats (brick oven pizzas and Guinness-marinated hot dogs alone are well worth the trip). As for must-try brews, the Newport Beach Blonde is a light, crisp choice, and the Balboa Brown is a sweet, dark English ale.

Indeed, folks have nothing but praise for the kitchen's tasty grub, whether it's a breakfast omelet or a tasty, late-in-the-day pizza. Of course, Mutt's appeal reaches much further – the waterside joint also serves some of Orange County's coldest brews, which are great for toasting incredible views of the bay.
