Songwriter's Showcase

hosted by Christina Dietz

Price: free

A less snooty alternative to nightlife in Downtown Newport Beach, the Blue Laguna is the only venue in the area that doesn't have a cover charge after 10pm. Simultaneously cozy and modern, the atmosphere is versatile enough so that anyone can be comfortable without losing you in a clutter of eclectic nautical-themed swag. Hosting everything from acoustic showcases to electronic club nights, Blue Laguna provides its patrons with an ever-expanding roster of musical entertainment. The bar is vast and the specials are many; including their famous taco Tuesdays where you can get your grub on for a price that won't break the bank and in a place that won't make you feel cheap.
