Perhaps you remember a bar named Mikey’s?
Does Homer’s ring a bell?
How about O’Flannigan’s?
All three bars occupied the same space in a corner of a nondescript strip mall along Yorba Linda Boulevard in Fullerton. At different times, of course.
Well, Mikey’s is gone. Homer’s is long gone. And O’Flannigan’s? It’s real gone.
In their place is The Bench, Orange County’s newest sports bar.
The bar, which opened only 10 days ago, is hard to see from the street because it’s wedged into a corner of the shopping center, but it’s worth a look.
It has been remodeled from one end to the other. In fact, owner Dave Guerra told me that the only piece of equipment that survived the change in ownership from Mikey’s to The Bench was the pizza oven.
The OC Fashion Week Runway Finale featured a graduate student design competition with new graduates from Orange County and Los Angeles-based design schools, an emerging designer showcase and more on Saturday night in Costa Mesa.

Every restaurant has a kitchen. Not many restaurants have a secret kitchen.
In fact, in an industry overrun with open kitchens, where diners can watch chefs perform their culinary wizardry, secret kitchens seem to buck the trend.
The House of An doesn’t really care about trends, and their customers are just fine with AnQi’s secret kitchen.
Click here for a photo slideshow of AnQi AfterWork.
We’re not kidding; the restaurant on the Bloomingdale’s end of South Coast Plaza has a secret kitchen that it is off-limits to patrons and employees alike. Only members of the An family are allowed in the secret kitchen, which has a window that is usually fogged over to prevent anyone from finding out how they make their legendary garlic noodles or their spectacular roasted crab dish.
