Description

Proof Bar offers a chic, lounge atmosphere befitting an establishment in the middle of Santa Ana's über-hip Artist Village. It hosts a variety of DJs who spin an eclectic array of tunes ranging between garage and funk. The full bar serves up tasty cocktails and offers a fine selection of brews including Delirium, Stella, Heineken, Arrogant Bastard Ale as well as standard domestics like Bud light. The lounge area features a dramatic vaulted ceiling hovering 25 feet above the floor. The bar is softly lit with colored lights for ambiance and is decorated by creeping vines twisting upward from the bedrock.

    Wreck the Hall 1 Year Anniversary

    By ERIN DEWITT | Thu, January 06, 2011

    Sunday nights in downtown Santa Ana have been rather rambunctious for a while now, with the area’s cluster of hipster bars and venues open late on school nights. Proof Bar’s weekly music get-down called Wreck Hall celebrates its one-year... More »

    Restaurants for Cheating Lovers

    Thu, February 08, 2007

    I've never cheated on a gal (mostly because of a lack of girlfriends), but if I was the Kobe Bryant type, I'd have one rule for dining out: eat in. Why risk a good thing for pasta and wine? But you can only enjoy so many dinners in a motel room,... More »

    Though this venue opened just last year, the place has already earned quite a reputation as one of most happening bars in the county. Located in the Artists Village of up-and-coming Santa Ana, Proof caters not only to the county's hipsters, but also to the plain ol' cats as well. Depending on the night, you can hear any of a variety of musical flavors being spun by featured DJs. While getting your groove on to those rockin' tunes and sipping your vodka tonic, you might as well ogle the bare-breasted artwork that adorns the otherwise-spare, industrial-looking walls. Don't fret, gals, there's something for you there, too—the ladies' room proudly displays pictures of male packages tightly wrapped in denim. Whew! Is it getting hot in here, or is it just us? Good thing you can head out to the brickwork back patio to chill out.

    Theres usually a nice sized crowd on the weekends of course. So if you have nothing to do on a weekend its usually a good place to go on a friday night.

  • 2007 | Best New Bar

    As the website says, Santa Ana's Proof "marks an evolution in the Artists Village into an increasingly urbane nighttime destination." Basically, they're trying to say this ain't no dive bar, which means you might actually want to put some pants on before you head in. But it's by no means Costa Mesa-fancy: The drinks are reasonably priced, the decor is crisp and clean without feeling too uncomfortably sterile, and the staff is friendly and professional. Best of all, Proof features an ecle... More »
