Malibu Farm
3420 Via Oporto, Suite 101 & 3416 Via Oporto, Suite 104
Like Malibu, the farm-to-table haven exudes casual elegance on the water, a confluence of unfettered simplicity and oh-so-very-cool. Craft cocktails at Malibu Farm are wildly inventive as well as seasonal; the menu (subject to change) includes: Jalapeño (tequila, jalapeño agave, fresh lime juice); Strawberry (vodka, strawberry lemon basil agave, fresh lemon juice and Prosecco); Smoke (Mescal, shishito chili agave, fresh lime juice); Mango (dill and mango-inflused pisco, mango Cuban tea agave, fresh lime juice, egg whites); and more.

Mayor’s Table Pacific Pub + Kitchen
3300 Newport Blvd., Newport Beach, CA 92663
The signature restaurant at Lido House sits exactly on the site of the old Newport Beach City Hall, which explains both the monochromatic sea of mayors’ portraits and the name, Mayor’s Table. And just before the main dining room entrance, you’ll find a circular, swoon-worthy wooden bar with tenders ready to mix and pour. The cocktail program is robust, so expect to be surprised and delighted. For example: A citrus delight featured in-house candied kumquats with NOLET’S Gin, rosemary syrup and a flaming rosemary garnish.
