Bayside, the critically acclaimed restaurant in Newport Beach, has announced its live music line-up offered nightly and during Sunday brunch.
“There aren’t many live music venues in Orange County and fewer that offer a stellar dining experience to go along with it,” said owner Marc Ghoukassian, a music lover himself. “In addition to serving petite portions of our entrees, we offer extensive offerings on our bar menu, a wide variety of hand-crafted cocktails, many wines by the glass and a number of domestic and import beers.”
