Got a drink, danced to the 80', and then suddenly, bam! A band started playing and it's definitely not 80's music. Super disappointed that I paid $15 cover to listen to no 80's. And to make things worse, it's super hot in here. There's one area where ac is blowing and everywhere else, hot and sweaty. I'm disappointed, but hoping they can fix things up. And if you're an 80's bar like you claim, please only have 80's cover bands. Or stick with the dj. He was good! I do love the decor here!! And love that they played the music videos while they played the 80's music.

The fries were crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. We shared a house salad with fantastic ranch dressing. I also enjoyed the Arnold Palmer drink. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather and atmosphere. It is a beautiful restaurant inside and out. Brendan was our waiter and was fantastic. Very personable and professional. He even brought ranch dressing for our fries before we asked. We will definitely be back.

I removed my platinum engagement/wedding ring the night before checkout because my finger was…read moreswollen after using the jacuzzi. I was wearing the ring that evening and still had it when I went to bed, but it was gone by morning when I began packing. The ring is approximately 3 carats total, including a 2 carat center stone. We searched the room thoroughly before leaving and rechecked all luggage again once we got home, with no success. My husband contacted the hotel and was told the morning staff would be asked. Given the value of this item, that response is not sufficient. A property at this level should have a clear, documented lost-and-found process with accountability, rather than relying on informal follow-up. We paid over $600 for a one-night stay. The level of urgency and communication so far does not reflect the seriousness of the situation. I am requesting that management conduct a formal review, including verification with housekeeping, review of lost-and-found records, and any applicable security procedures, and provide a direct, documented follow-up.

Ac is fixed, thankfully! No longer dancing in a sauna. I'm not increasing the stars though for a…read morefew reasons. (1) budget cuts to the line dance instructors. Last I posted, we regularly had specific instructors out to the venue. The budget for said instructors was cut and now they do not teach here anymore. (2) Food and drink are still mediocre. We usually eat elsewhere in old town if we do eat. (3) It's dirty. Hairballs roll by while dancing like tumbleweeds in the high desert. It is a dance floor and the floor should be taken care of. Instead, my husband and I are constantly kicking things off the floor so no one slips and falls. (Rhinestones, bandaids, fake nails) (4) Things are still broken. Electrical problems, plumbing issues, lockers, broken floor boards that have been broken for years and trip hazards in the cement. Stools and tables broken. The thing that keeps us coming back here are the people. We've seen a lot of turnover over the years but the ones who have stayed long enough (that we have gotten to know) are amazing. It would not be the same place without them. We adore them all and when someone leaves - whether to move on to another place or taking a LOA - we are always so sad to see them go. They make this place fun and inviting (and safe).

This place is awful. The security is way too aggressive and overbearing, I understand that they…read morehave jobs to keep people safe, however they treat you like children and assume EVERYONE is drunk out of their minds. Even the bathroom attendants are too aggressive if you're taking too long in the stall, it's just a buzzkill. Do NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT A STRESS FREE AND FUN NIGHT.

I came to visit & spend some time with my cousin who lives in the area and we decided to come here…read more Overall, it's really nice, inside and outside, and aesthetically pleasing. The drinks aren't too expensive, if you like beer. The music is okay, they play stuff that's fun to dance to for the most part. I like that they have an upstairs that plays different music, nice diversity. The biggest downside are the people. Everyone is so like, old, I'm not kidding. Also the guys will literally just grab you and won't even ask to dance or anything - they're just grimey. That sort of made the whole experience there meh. This place is definitely really different from DTLA & K-town (which is where I usually go near me). Overall, it's pretty okay and fun. It's also only a $5 cover fee but their ATM charges $3! Just watch out for all the creepers.

We came here on one of their new closed-event EDM nights to support a friend, and there are pros…read moreand cons (though I'd argue the pros do outweigh the cons). Pros: Intimate, nice screen visuals, staff are very nice, venue is very clean (especially compared to the og arena KTown), good music choice for target demographic (melodic/future bass), bar is quick and uncrowded. Cons: Rather small floor area, parking is insanely hard to find in front and you may have to find a paid lot or walk a bit more. Since they're in their "beta-testing" mode, there were not a lot of people there- but can't fault them for something out of their control. Overall, a lot of improvements in this iteration of arena over their OG location that is promising if they keep working on it. Reminds me a lot of Nova SD

If you were approached to host this club, please read this review and make an informed decision…read more I think Arena OC has potential, but upper management issues along with their systems and processes need attention to truly elevate the customer experience. I'm unsure but I feel like my party was robbed of our time and money... First, I want to highlight the excellent customer service provided by my bottle service attendant and the on-site manager. They genuinely went out of their way to accommodate my party, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. Their dedication truly stood out and was one of the highlights of the evening. Last month, I had the opportunity to host an event at this nightclub. While the contacts I worked with were friendly, responsive, and professional, I was disappointed by the limitations placed on the bottle service attendant and the on-site manager. My party requested water and chasers for our drinks, but these were overlooked, leaving us to purchase drinks at the bar despite having a table. This completely defeats the purpose of bottle service and suggests possible understaffing. Arena OC provided me with a complimentary champagne bottle and a complimentary table for hosting. My party reserved an additional table and purchased two bottles. We intended to purchase a third, but it was unavailable--how does a club run out of bottles so early in the night, especially when I had communicated this preference well in advance? This lack of preparation speaks to poor management and planning. If the goal is to maximize revenue, wouldn't it make sense to stock more $40 bottles that can be sold at $520 each (including tax and tip)? It feels like upper management is more focused on cutting corners than maximizing profits. To make matters worse, we paid part of our table tab in cash and were promised change, but it never came. On a positive note, I appreciate that Arena OC upgraded my party's table and placed it side by side with the promo table. This thoughtful gesture showed attention to our needs, and I'm grateful for that. But, as I mentioned earlier, on-site employees are making up for the lack of care for customer service on behalf of upper management. The staff is doing their best to compensate for the shortcomings in management's approach, but it's clear that the real issue lies with the decision-makers at the top. Adding to the frustration, I still have not received my commission check over a month later. I followed up and provided my email address as requested, but I have not received any response since. This lack of communication is both unprofessional and unacceptable. Furthermore, I was told that I hadn't checked any names off the guest list, which is simply untrue. It's clear that management needs a more reliable system for tracking guest lists and ensuring accuracy. Out of the 20 people on my list, 14 showed up before the 11pm cut-off time, including 7 women--but I was told that none of them had been checked in. This discrepancy highlights a serious issue with how guest lists are managed. Hosts rely on sales from tables and guest list entries, and for both systems to be disorganized, it gives the impression that Arena OC needs to revisit their business model because they are not operating efficiently. Customer service, while commendable, is severely limited by how much on-site employees can compensate for management's desire to cut corners. Last but not least, they have on-site photographers but the photos from the event still have not been uploaded to their website for us to download and share. While the on-site staff's dedication is commendable, the club's operational and management issues severely overshadow their hard work and detract from the overall customer experience. Arena OC has potential, but for now, it's far from my top choice for nightlife in Orange County. TLDR; have not received commission for hosting, did not get change from payment, understaffed, understocked, inaccurate account of guest list. Business model needs improvement.

The live R&B band and DJ were a highlight, and I loved that the crowd skewed a bit older--it made the atmosphere feel comfortable and welcoming. The only downside was the service. After getting our drinks, we waited quite a while to order, and there were long gaps before food arrived. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed, and my friend's order was even missed, which added more wait time. Aside from that, the music and overall vibe were really enjoyable, and I'd consider going back.
