I'm moving from Toronto Canada to Irvine OC in a couple of weeks. I'm wondering where the best indoor climbing locations are?

Rockreation in Costa Mesa is the best of a couple gyms in the general area.
Lots of stuff for the outdoors, but alas Williamson Rock (best local sport climbing) is closed at least until next season.

Is rock climbing popular in orange county? I'm going to try and get a friend down there into it. But if its not their thing... hopefully I'll be able to find a partner.

Believe it or not OC is closer to JT and Tahquitz than LA. Lucky me because I moved here 2 years ago from LA. Costa Mesa is the best gym, I went to a gym 6 blocks from my house in Lake Forest that shal remain nameless and it was full of kids, short walls and made for birthday parties, so my wife and I drive 20 minutes to get to Costa Mesa.
When are you moving here?

I'm so glad we have fellow Rockreation lovers here! Our gym rules and is full of REAL climbers.
As for Irvine...I'm sorry, I truly am. Let me be the first to welcome you to fascist Orange County...hope you like republicans! :?
