1 Best Nightlife in Orange County and Catalina Island, California

Swallow's Inn

Across the way from Mission San Juan Capistrano you may spot a line of Harleys in front of the down-home and downright funky Swallow's Inn. Despite a somewhat tough look, it attracts all kinds—bikers, surfers, modern-day cowboys, and grandparents—for a drink, a casual bite, and live entertainment. Happy hour is all day on Monday, and the rest of the week from 4 to 7 pm.
