MORE BARS:
The Tropicana Bar and Grill, 610 Avenida Victoria (across from the San Clemente Municipal Pier), San Clemente. Open Sundays through Thursdays till 11, Fridays and Saturdays till midnight. (714) 498-TROP. A yuppie joint with charm. Sit leisurely under the thatched roof and sip tropical drinks while viewing the pier and surfers below. The most memorable feature, though, is found in the ladies room: a mural of Tarzan that lets out a yell in the bar when you pull down the Ape Man’s loincloth.
