Main Street Bar & Cabaret

Found this place by accident! Wanted to karaōke on a Monday and there was nothing around. Passerby told us of this place and we decided to try it out. So much fun! Bartenders are super super nice. Karaōke guys were really helpful and friendly and let us sing all night! Good choice of songs. Kind of a small place, but had enough room to dance in front of stage. Definitely try this place out if you’re in the area!

Real cute bar with very friendly staff. Love Endura went on a Thursday night where they were playing bingo. It was not packed but staff were extremely welcoming. Will go hang out here again.

Their Tuesday night Karaōke is unbeatable! Peggy is a fabulous singer and full of bubbly wit and friendly energy. Ed makes fantastic drinks and sings wonderfully too! The crowd is constantly changing and yet carries several regulars that are talented and friendly. Definitely a gem of Laguna Beach nightlife and fun entertainment. A great time, week after week.

Hands down my favorite bar in Laguna. Thank god it’s still open. Leave sweaty.

A great watering hole and to sit and chat and make new friends. The last gay bar in Laguna Beach. A bit of transition going on, but the changes are welcome. I never fail to have fun here! Wednesday night is Endora’s Bingo and then a drag show – I’ll be there tonight to meet up with friends!
Drinks are well-​made and inexpensive!
«Little Michael» is the best bartender!

I have only come here twice. The first time was some years ago and the last time was about two weeks ago. A friend just moved back to the area and I was visiting from the east coast. We decided we both would go to the karaōke night.
Although we had fun and 99% percent of the patrons thanked us for our presence that evening… The host of the karaōke night was one of the most unhappiest and mean women I have ever met.
Peggy was not only condescending, but was insulting while we were singing as individuals and once when we sang together. We are much younger then Peggy is, which may have been the reason for her to feel so uncomfortable around us to the point where she made us feel bad about it.
My friend who lives in the area now complemented Peggy on her voice regarding being able to «growl» and have a rough sound when needed and Peggy replied:
«Well we CAN’T sing little pretty like you all the time».
That’s just one example of how she treated us. She also had what seemed to be a regular of the themed night standing next to her the whole time adding to our mockery. I believe his name was Nolan. He had long hair and looked like he hadn’t showered in some time. His voice was OK, though.
I am only writing this because, under the circumstances that we return to the bar I hope that if it’s on the karaōke night that Peggy will treat us like decent human beings/​customers.
it is very important to note that both the happy hour bartender and the late-​night bartender, Ed, we’re both very sweet and welcoming.

I love this bar. It full of locals of all walks of life. Try a «bear bite» it will get you there, but you must like bourbon!

Main St is always good people and fun– AND Friday nights with Endora’s one woman show with Tony on keyboard is over the top a great show! Not to be missed!

I’ve been here twice for my birthday — nightcap and dancing.
The bar is small but has pleny of seats and a roomy dancefloor. The DJ music is irresistible… «I could’ve danced all night» … that good. It’s a FUN stop and I can’t wait for my next visit!
Other details: no cover charge the 2 times I’ve been there (Sat & Friday nights.) Street parking is easy — pay the meter, if necessary.

Cool bar. But turn off the damn fog machine for the love of God! Shit show with twiggy D Warhol is amazing!

Just came here right after getting engaged, and everyone in the bar toasted us with a shot. An incredibly friendly, fun, «family» place with good people. P. S. By «family,» I definitely don’t mean bring your kids. :)

Definitely an overpriced bar, 6 dollars for a Corona and $ 10 for a mai tai, Employees are unfriendly and the place is filthy.

Last gay bar in the middle of Laguna Beach. Fun karaōke with the fabulous and talented Peggie Perkins Monday and Tuesday from 9 to 1 30 AM. With 5 dollar margaritas. And the drinks are mixed strong, so you get your monies worth.

The newly refurbished Main Street Cabaret was previously called Bounce, and it is one of my favorite karaōke spots in Laguna. Come on Monday or Tuesday nights (tuesdays they have a karaōke contest). The DJ, Peggy, is a hoot!
Michael makes great drinks, and the crowd is always very diverse, lively, and interesting.

It’s the last gay bar left in Laguna beach. From main to bounce to Main Street cabaret etc. It’s an amazing place. Great drinks. Best kj I have ever come across in my life and I’ve done some karaōke in my life lemme tell ya. Peggie is so awesome she will keep you coming back week after week with her love and humour and glorious voice of hers. Bartenders Eddie and little Michael make the best drinks ever. What’s not to like?!? Come on down (literally) and have a great time!

Pretty great service and atmosphere, nice to stopby for drinks after a night at the beach

I am always intrigued when I see a pub with bad reviews. I am of the opinion that u get out of the universe what u put into it. I think everyone’s comfort levels influence pub reviews cuz I don’t really know how being inside a busy watering hole can result in a bad experience, I dunno.
Anywho, I came to the bounce on a Wednesday nite to see a drag show. I had been here previously for naughty binge drinking and had a good time. This night was maybe a little special as the show was on its first night so I was there to support the performers.
The pub itself is very «divey» meaning it feels kinda dirty and dingy but it’s an older establishment so that is to be expected. But hey this place is right on the pch so if u step out front u can hear the waves of the ocean. And that is cool.
The bartender Christopher was super friendly and easy to chat with about whatever. He introduced us to several «mule» beverages served in copper mugs. Copper mugs = ultimate awesomeness.
The stock is liquors, wine and beers. The place is small which makes it kinda intimate, kinda feels like a «neighborhood» bar. It is also set into the hill in a basement type level so u have to be able to manage stairs to enter.
The bathroom is dungeon-​like so if u have twisted fantasies of being inside dirty bathrooms (like I may occasionally do… or not…) then this is the place for u.
Come see for urself and thanks for reading.

Would never go back after they allowed some people in the bar to act disgusting. I couldn’t even finish my drink. I was so disturbed by what I saw I was embarrassed I suggested this place. I guess u don’t know what to expect here. I simply asked for money back bec I had just ordered a drink. They told me no then tossed the rest of the money on the bar back at me and my friend. No wonder there was no one there! Horrible experience.

Randomly ended up here after wanting to go since moving back to Irvine. The bar itself is a bit like a bare bones crappy basement of a house but I kind of liked the underground dodgy urban feel. Pretty bare bones on the inside but they had lights and a fog machine going. We went on a Saturday around 11ish and they had a DJ spinning great EDM and House mixes. Loved it! You could hear the music blasting from across the street where we parked and knew «oh that’s it» and walked over haha. Decent crowd of late 20s to older gents and ladies. Decent mix of gay, lesbian, and trans. I’ve heard before it was all old creepy dudes but it was really well mixed last night and didn’t get any weird vibes from anyone. All very friendly.
I would stick to well drinks here. I wanted a dirty gin martini all night and decided to get one here and it wasn’t that great. But reasonable prices and strong drinks. I ordered a vodka soda w/​lime for my next few drinks and those we’re spot on ;)
Bartenders were really nice and friendly. That’s always great.
My only issue with this place was the high number of straight women. I’m not against the hags but I really hate when straight women go to gay bars for their bachelorette or wedding related events or even birthday parties. Leave the gay bars to the LGBT community. Geez. Unless you’re accompanied by your LGBT friend, go to another bar please. Harsh? Oh well, that’s my opinion.
I’ll definitely be back! Way better than Tin Lizzie mostly because it’s bigger and played great music.

Absolutely love love love this place!
Dancing is always fun and it’s very easy to make new friends who share your awesome version of dancing to bulletproof & other great songs. Everyone needs to check out this place ! Just make sure that you have a taxi ride home or DD cause cops in Laguna are definitely on the look out for DUIs.
It’s raining men hallelujah ! :)
