Let’s be honest – sometimes, brunch is all about the bottomless drink options. And when you have the whole day to spend with friends and family, who wants the fun to end?
The Alley Restaurant & Bar

The Cannery Seafood of the Pacific
How about a seafood spin on brunch? At the Cannery, the bayfront location is enhanced by entrees like crab cakes, lobster rolls, and ceviche. $15 bottomless champagne and blackberry lemonade seltzers are simply the cherry on top. The kids menu and the option to dock and dine are nice perks, too.

Mama’s Comfort Food and Cocktails
At Mama’s, you find an extensive menu of comforting and festive foods. Try the pulled pork nachos, or burgers with bottomless fries. Want a more traditional breakfast? They’ve got that too! And if brunching can’t happen on the weekend, Mama’s has you covered with bottomless “mamosas” offered 7 days a week until 3:00. Top it off with a scoop or two or classic Thrifty’s ice cream and you’ve got yourself a perfect lazy afternoon. 2601 W Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA 92663 | WEBSITE

Newport Beach is more water than land, so it’s easy to find a brunch spot with views of the harbor. And trust us: pancakes taste even better while watching the sailboats drift lazily by.
