High 5: O.C. party bars

Fager's Island

Busy restaurant by day, even busier bar by night, Fager's Island is one place you're going to want to stop while in town. With a monstrous deck and plenty of bar across it, Fager's is a hot spot around sunset (which is why you may want to avoid it until after dark). There's live music inside, DJs outside and pool tables everywhere; Fager's isn't too bad an island to be stuck on. Just a few words of warning: There is a strictly-enforced dress code here, so leave the cut-off shorts and T-shirts back at the room.
