Think of the Fling as a small slice of vintage Vegas during the glory days of the Rat Pack when Sinatra, Sammy and Dino ruled the town. With its velvety burgundy-colored wallpaper, intimate booths and sexy boudoir oil paintings, the Fling revels in its cheesy ode to classy bars from the mid-'60s. Sure, some of the crowd is a bit older (mostly retired types from the neighborhood), but show up late on the weekends and you'll find young scenesters dressed in their Urban Outfitters finery knocking back hi-balls right alongside the older set. The main draw for both crowds is the kitschy musical acts (like Phil Shane, who still makes the rare appearance) and the cheap, stiff drinks. Get there early enough, and you can even enjoy dinner courtesy of the mom-and-pop diner next door (the food is imported straight to your table in minutes). The Fling is hardly flashy or modern, but it gets high marks for its ironic sense of style and decor. This is the kind of bar that the Continental Room in Fullerton desperately wants to be, and everyone knows you can't duplicate the real thing.

    This place puts the "old" back in "old school". Eclectic as hell, with cheap drinks, young and old patrons, danceable tunes from all eras, smoke filled friendly atmosphere. Wait, I think I just saw Dean and Sammy! Fun!

    Seriously, yeah the place tends to fill up with old people, but go there around midnight and its awesome. The place gets mixed with the young hot orange county crowd looking for a place to smoke and drink and also listen to fun classic rock! i love it
