Pie Society - Costa Mesa

This is a really charming bar with skilled bartenders who are mid-career mixologists. The design is fantastic! My only concern is that the close quarters can lead to significant noise on busy nights, but that's typical for bars at this level. I would definitely recommend visiting!

This place is the ideal dark and atmospheric speakeasy, featuring great music, reliably good food, and laid-back service. Tonight, Kade was our server, and he was fantastic—relaxed yet attentive to everything we needed. We enjoyed chicken meatballs with roasted cauliflower and marinara, as well as cheesy garlic bread and chopped salad, which are all classic Italian-American comfort dishes. The brussels sprouts were a bit too raw for our taste, but the relaxed vibe made it easy to overlook. Honestly, it's not fine dining or a farm-to-table experience, but it has a cool atmosphere, solid offerings, and plenty of healthy choices if that's what you're after. I would definitely recommend it.

For a speakeasy , it was more of a speak loudly...it was a busy and loud night. We went on a Saturday night around 9pm and it was CROWDED. Also sticky. They do not limit the amount of people coming in like other speakeasy 's, so the crowd, noise and overall feel was very dive bar like. Luckily we found a table with enough stools for a group of 4 and went up to the bar to order since it didn 't seem like there was any table service... But it did take us a while to get situated in this space, as in find seating, figure out if theres a menu and where we can get one, if there is table service and so on. Drinks did not impress us either. No draft beers, only cans. But we do want to come back and try the pizza from the adjoining space since that did look good.....and they have beers on tap. If we could have ordered pizzas while at pie society,, we wouldn 't have known since no staff informed us. Tldr: not great for big parties, there is a parking lot, and it gets busy since there is no limit to capacity or reservation. I would not categorize this as a speakeasy, only maybe on a day where capacity is at 10 and not 40 in a small space like here. If you just want a nice space for pizza and beers, skip this place and just make the stop at pit fire next door.

First time trying pie society and it did not disappoint! It's right behind Pit Fire pizza building with a bright sign. The place is small but pretty roomy for small groups with a bar and has a cool eclectic vibe. The pizza was sooo good and tastes 100% fresh and authentic. Like the crust, cheese and that sauce, ugh, you just have to try for yourself! The cocktails are carefully crafted and also very good. Overall it's a nice little spot to check out and enjoy if you're ever in Costa Mesa and craving a delicious pizza and cocktail.

Always wanted to go to a speak easy and this was our first one. It was AMAZING! The experience of walking in to the secret door was so cool and the small, intimate bar was so fun. LOVED the clarified pins colada drink, pretty bird was okay. The PIZZA WOW! We got the IYKYK pizza and are hooked. Prices are reasonable as well. Such a great date night experience. Definitely will be back!
