This Weekend in Laguna! (August 27-30, 2020)


The indoor live music venues remain closed but fortunately the weather is perfect for enjoying the multitude of outdoor patios with live entertainment. In case you haven’t heard, the Forest Avenue Promenade’s "Stage on Forest” for live music and art demonstrations is extended through January, 2021.

 The following venues allow you to enjoy live music while seated at a table.

New noteworthy addition is the gift of the public corridor the City of Laguna Beach loaned to Hennessey’s Tavern. It has been branded DUBLIN SQUARE. Look for the white picket fence and signage next to Toes on the Nose right across from Main Beach. 

The 7ft high 32ft. wide "happy scene" mural, donated in 2011 by Sandra Jones Campbell, pops with the surrounding freshly painted blue wall. The shaded, ocean front patio features solo or duo acoustic entertainment on: 

Thursdays 5pm-9pm, Fridays 5pm-9pm, Saturday 12pm-4pm, 5pm-9pm, Sundays 1pm-5pm.

The QR code on the table allows for contactless ordering and a Happy Hour menu is available everyday all day of $6 Small Bites. Happy Hour drink specials are 4pm-7pm Mon. to Fri. including rotating 16 Beers on tap, and a full service bar.

Summer on the Porch at The Ranch at Laguna Beach offers top notch musical talent with scenic views of the Aliso Canyon and Ben Brown's Golf Course. Since Harvest Restaurant is still outdoors, the music will be on the nearby Sage Patio. The California-inspired cuisine, craft brews, and cocktails on the affordable Patio menu enhances the experience.

The Stage on Forest: The Cultural Arts Department at City Hall has suspended announcing the live music lineup on The Promenade due to its popularity and subsequent crowd-drawing. However, they have booked a mellow solo or duo to perform on Thurs. 5:30pm-6:30pm, Friday 5:30pm-8:30pm, Saturday 2pm-5pm and 6pm-9pm and Sundays 3pm-6pm. They recently added a busker feature at the other end of The Promenade. There is public seating, where you can relax and enjoy food and beverages from a neighboring restaurant such as Harley or Broadway or Salerno. You may also dine on The Promenade at Alessa, 230 Forest Ave., Brussels Bistro, or Moulin Bakery.
