Every year as the spring days stretch into summer, Father’s Day preludes the start of a new season. No matter how you choose to spend the day, whether you raise a glass to dads, stepdads, grandpas, husbands, those departed too soon, or any other heroes, it’s a special time to reflect and celebrate.

Spend the day (or the weekend) in Costa Mesa, your gateway to all of Southern California’s best adventures. Here are the best things to do and the best places to eat, from the classic steak dinner to some self-care that Dad would never book on his own.

Where to Take Dad on Father’s Day in Costa Mesa

Got a golfer dad? The Costa Mesa Country Club includes two municipal courses, Mesa Linda and Los Lagos. Both offer just the right amount of difficulty—Los Lagos with gentle, rolling fairways and Mesa Linda with doglegs and smaller sloping greens.

Tip: If you’re looking to level up your gift game, stop by Quiet Golf on Randolph. Their refined, minimalist gear and apparel will have Dad looking sharp on and off the course.

Jack Henry Studios

Wellness and self-care are for everyone, Dad included. Hook him up with a fresh cut, skincare, or wellness session at Jack Henry Studios. The studio stands out for their use of pure, organic, and sustainably harvested ingredients in all haircare and skincare services.

Golden Crown Barber Shop

Maybe he’s a little more old-school and shrinks away at the word wellness. Hit up OC cult-favorite barbershop, Golden Grown, at their newest location in Costa Mesa for a hot towel shave and a fresh look that he’ll like enough to tell his buddies about at the next poker night.

Looking for something cool to do with a group? Slashers Axe Throwing & Ales delivers. With horror movie memorabilia, a killer cocktail menu, and thrilling axe-throwing lanes, it’s an experience he won’t forget. We recommend sampling their craft beers with a Monster Mash flight or taking on the Scorpion Challenge— loser drinks a spicy beer topped with a real scorpion.

South Coast Plaza

This Father’s Day, treat him to something special at South Coast Plaza because his sneaker game (or watch game, or cologne game) deserves a refresh. From Collegium’s luxe sneakers to Hugo Boss’s sharp-meets-casual fits and Giorgio Armani’s timeless sophistication, there’s no shortage of ways to elevate his look.

Then, treat him to a memorable meal with special Father’s Day dining options at more than 40 restaurants throughout South Coast Plaza.

This Father’s Day, let Silver Trumpet handle the BBQ duties. Treat him to lakeside views, baby back ribs, brisket, and all the sides that hit just right. Dad relaxes, and you score bonus points.

The Country Club

The Country Club is serving up a Father’s Day celebration built around his favorite things: bourbon, putting, and a seriously good Prime Dip sandwich. Enjoy the restaurant’s all-day special while taking part in a golf-putting challenge designed to add a little friendly competition to the festivities.

Does Dad love seafood? If so, head to Water Grill across South Coast Plaza. The restaurant menu changes daily based on the fresh seafood available, but their iced shellfish platters are not to be missed.

Mastro’s Steakhouse

Perhaps the most classic Father’s Day restaurant in Costa Mesa. Mastro’s is the ultimate steakhouse offering some of the finest hand-cut prime steaks and fresh seafood. The restaurant also regularly hosts live music to match its sophisticated ambiance.

Descanso

Descanso Restaurant had us at Steak & Tequila Pairing! Whether you’re having their Huevos con Bistec for brunch or Plancha-style Ribeye for dinner, each dish is paired with premium tequila served neat. Cheers to that!

Turn Father’s Day into Father’s Weekend by booking a stay at one of Costa Mesa’s top hotels. It’s the perfect excuse to relax and rack up some quality time (and maybe a few extra rounds of dad jokes) with the man of the hour.
