Happy Hours in Newport Beach

Newport Beach happy hour comes in two very different flavors, fifteen minutes apart. On the peninsula, Mutt Lynch's and Woody's Wharf do cheap beer with an ocean or harbor view, in flip-flops. Inland, near the airport on MacArthur, Bosscat Kitchen & Libations is the after-work version: a whiskey list in the hundreds, serious cocktails, and food substantial enough to count as dinner. Both run on weekday afternoons; exact times are on each listing.
