You definitely need to make a stop at the Quiet Woman if you're staying in Corona del Mar! The "Q-Dub", as locals call it, has been around for 50+ years and has a reputation of being one of the hottest spots for nightlife in Corona del Mar. Live music Tuesday thru Saturday and the food is great too!
