Proudly Stuck In The Past Since 1976.

Welcome to The Fling Cocktail Lounge, Santa Ana’s favorite neighborhood bar since 1976. A little bit dated, a little bit groovy, The Fling is a time capsule of proper drinks, local bands, and a no-nonsense vibe. We’ve been slinging stiff pours and serving up local legends for over 50 years.

Known for our red lighting, live music, and regulars who feel more like family, The Fling is where stories begin and good times never end. Whether you’re here for the band, the dancing, or just to escape the modern world for a while, there’s always room for one more at the Fling Cocktail Lounge.
