RC’s Watering Hole
RC’s Watering Hole is a bar and grill in the Foothill Ranch Towne Centre in Lake Forest. It serves as a neighborhood sports bar by day, with pool tables in a recently remodeled room, and books live bands on many evenings.
Bookings lean on cover and tribute bands. Its fall 2026 lineup included Radio Riot, a band playing hits from the 1970s onward, the Linkin Park and Incubus tribute Linkubus, and the 80s cover band New Wave Kids, along with acoustic sets by Anesha Rose. Listings from The Scene: South OC showed several shows a week, usually 7 to 10 p.m.
The bar opens at 11 a.m. daily, and groups larger than ten should call ahead. On football Sundays the bar does not take reservations, so arrive early on game days.
