G'Ducks opened in August of 2004 in the location formerly occupied by Cactus Kelly's, the first bar to open in the Mission Viejo/Meadow Wood area. Kelley's had been closed about a year and a half when George and Dee Settelmeyer came along. Having been involved in the bar business before, they wanted to open a new neighborhood bar where everyone would feel comfortable. The space was completely gutted and remodeled. Cactus Kelly's was no more and G'Ducks was born. Neighbors and friends came back and an Aurora "Cheers" emerged. We have evolved over the years and most recently added 4 dart boards for general use and league play. Sadly, George passed away in March of 2014 but his neighborly spirit lives on. Current owners Dee Settelmeyer and Missi Doyle are committed to maintaining the open, friendly, welcoming atmosphere that was the original goal.
