Reviews for Hive & Honey Rooftop Bar in Irvine, CA
I was staying at the Marriott Spectrum in Irvine, home of the Hive and Honey an amazing rooftop bar. The views were awesome,... prices reasonable for the Marriott. Great atmosphere to relax and unwind. Read more
Please please don’t wait weeks for your reservation! Bad bad bad! The tables aren’t even glued down… the $24 charcuterie... board is served with a side of turkey hill lunch meat. Seriously. It is lunch meat. FOUR CRACKERS!. No knives to spread my“cubed cheese”. It started to drizzle a little and no one even came over to check on us or offer some cover or a change intable. All of the draft beer was “not working”. Seriously disappointed. If it was something we could pop in for at half theprice I would be ok with it. But for waiting this long in advance for a reservation and receiving 3 confirmations I would notgo again. Read more
Amazingly beautiful place for a great time. Unfortunately they have a limit of two hrs. Not happy about it, we where having to... much fun. Enjoying the views and the amazing cocktails they serve. Read more
The views from this lounge are top notch as far as Irvine can provide, and the drinks are tasty too. Sliders were also on point.... Went during the afternoon and there was plenty of room it seemed. Those were the only positives though. The biggest negativewas the poor service. Our original waiter disappeared after placing our drinks, and it wasn't until we physically went to thebar to go check on them a solid 20 minutes later did we find they were sitting there on the counter waiting to be served. So, wegrabbed our own drinks from the bar and brought them back to our table. After that, we were assigned a different waiter who thenhalf-checked up on us every now and then. They weren't short staffed, as we could see 3-4 staff members at any given timechilling around the bar socializing. That was a bummer to see given the high-end image this place portrays and the prices theycharge. Another problem is that there was a multi family party next to us with random kids storming one of the corner couches.Not sure why kids are allowed up there when it's clearly an adult lounge / bar scene.

The ambience here is fun but kind of a bit much. We went on a Tuesday at 5pm for the sunset and they were already blasting... insane party music. We could barely hear each other talking. The service was really nice and the sweet potato fries were amazingbut the drinks were pretty meh. Super super sweet and everything was very honey or maple flavored (which I get, the restaurantis bee themed). They have heaters but it’s still really cold up there. Fun experience one time but wouldn’t ever go back. Read more
Went there last weekend, went to Hive rooftop restaurants and loved it! The view is super nice and the food is good also. We... had a hard time getting reservations so make sure to reserve early cause they get fill up pretty quickly. Would love to go backagain soon, nice hotel and good service. Read more
Was there for a private event on Saturday afternoon. The menu was decent, staff was friendly. I was the first to arrive, and... had to use the restroom after my long drive, the bathroom toilets appeared to have not been cleaned as there was dried pee onthem, used discarded masks were strewn about on the floor of the bar, and in their olive tree planters there were severaldiscarded limes from what I assume was from the night before. All in all it wasn't bad but, it could have been cleaner. Read more
The ambiance is great, beautiful at sunset. The food was just okay for how expensive it was. We only had beers so I cannot speak... to the cocktails. The staff was lovely and I would go back for just a drink, not the food necessarily. Read more
