The Basics: If you’re the artistic type or simply feel like relaxing con estilo, definitivamente you need to check out Kitsch Bar en Costa Mesa. El nombre lo dice todo. It’s pretty relaxing and very low key, ideal for a drink after work.
One thing that this place is known for it’s for its music. Although they have resident Dj’s spinning the best of Top 40, Alternative and Indie during the weekends, it gets more exciting on Mondays and Tuesdays, where amateur and up and coming Dj’s get a chance to practice their grooves.
Don’t be fooled by its location, since Kitsch Bar is tucked away in a strip mall. Once you’re past the door, you’ll find candlelit tables and black lounge chairs taking most of the room. Themed art installations like Atari games and accessories are on display in glass cabinets along the black wall. Even though there’s no stage, jazz bands regularly perform in a corner of this chic space. Music is kept relatively quiet, facilitating non-strained conversation. In contrast to its name, the bar remains sophisticated without being pretentious. Definitely a hip place for the twenty and thirty-something crowd.
Hours: Daily from 8pm til 2am
What to drink: If you’re tired of ordering the same old drink, don’t hesitate to ask the staff, they’re quick in offering drink suggestions.
