About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Bosscat Kitchen & Libations perfectly meshes upscale and casual dining with an expansive whiskey selection and unique offering of American comfort food. It offers high energy, open spaced concepts to promote a lively dining experience. With the rustic industrial aesthetic, brick metal and barrels are prevalent in the space. One of its most coveted attractions is the famous whiskey room, that houses hundreds of whiskies from several countries. From high end whiskies like Pappy Van Winkle, to a shot of Jameson with a Coors Light, there is something here for everyone's taste; and Bosscat prides itself on being this type of environment. Each season new flavors and recipes are brought into the kitchen. The culture and staff are encouraged to foster the fun and unique dining experience they so strongly emulate. Bosscat is open all week for lunch and dinner. Happy hour is available on weekdays, and a fun, boozy brunch menu is available on Saturdays and Sundays.

    In general pretty good service and location - reservation was taken fairly quickly over the phone and we (party of 5) didnt wait long at the door. The server was quick and courteous - most of us had the boscat burger - mine - the french fries were a little over cooked and not a big serving. The burger was a little off - the bacon (?) was a little burnt but all in all ok. It was also a little dark in the area where we sat. Its a quick nice place to take clients/friends to and they validate the parking so, i was ok for the overall experience.

    BC's servers are always super courteous and helpful. Marry that up with great food and atmosphere, and it's a great place to be.

    I’m in Irvine for business a few times each year. I always make a stop at Bosscat Kitchen. The pork chop is fantastic!

    Great service. Good bourbons, the house specialty. Fair prices for the area. Loved the French dip. Bignets with lemons are divine

    Great menu with some creative items. A bit too noisy for a nice conversation. Server spoke too softly to hear. He was tall and his voice just got lost. We just guessed at the specials and the answers to questions about menu.

    We saw this incredible place on TV, sitting in a restaurant in Chicago… so when in town we made it a plan to stop in… AMAZING! Service, food, and drinks were incredible, as was the atmosphere and attitudes of the entire staff. We will be back again and again!
