Jenny and Esmeralda were such sweet server. We will definitely be back!! 10/10 I loved this bar !!! read more

Zoe was so helpful and she made our experience amazing! I will definitely come back and ask for her

If you're doing the Mandala Cantina Sunday brunch, do yourself a favor and wander through the corridor into Beso afterward. Trust me... it's the after-party you didn't know you needed. We had brunch at Mandala and accidentally discovered Beso when we followed the music through the hallway. Suddenly we were in a full R&B dance floor situation and it was so much fun. The transition from brunch vibes to day-party energy was seamless and honestly the perfect way to keep the celebration going. Apparently you can also reserve tables inside Beso as part of the R&B brunch experience, which we didn't realize at the time but now that we know, that might be the move next time. The vibes were great, the crowd was fun, and people were definitely ready to dance. My only small note: I wish they had leaned a little harder into classic R&B. Whenever the DJ dropped the throwbacks, the dance floor lit up immediately which makes sense since most of the crowd looked very millennial. Give us the classics! Overall, we had an absolute blast and loved the combo of brunch at Mandala followed by dancing at Beso. It turned a regular brunch into a full Sunday day-party experience. Can't wait to come back and do it again. read more

We had a bottle service table for 4 at Beso yesterday. we didn't all arrive together so we were told to come outside when the last friend arrived to grab her & so she can get a wristband. when she arrived & I went outside to get her, it was a problem. Firstly, the lounge was dangerously overcrowded--an actual fire hazard if there were any emergency. It was difficult to get back outside. When I approached security to explain I had a table and just needed to grab my friend as they had told me to do, they made me get back I get in line despite already having been upstairs. When we made it to the front of the line, we were told the venue was at max capacity & we had to wait to go back inside --even though we already had a reserved table, active bottle service, and were actively dining and drinking upstairs, with half of our group up there. The staff couldn't seem to separate existing table guests from new arrivals. & the worst part was that right after being told it was max capacity & we had to wait, they allowed the people behind us to go ahead of us and let them in, because they had a table. We already had a table we had been sitting at for an hour, make it make sense. When I questioned this inconsistency, no one answered but Michelle made faces as if annoyed so she said just let them in. When they let us in we walked up to Michelle as she's the promoter providing the wristbands since we were told the last friend that arrived needed one. We walk to her & she looks at us with a wtf do you want, type of look & said "can I help you?" With an atrocious attitude. We said, we have a table & before I can finish saying my friend need a wrist band she said "who are you?" When I said she needs a wristband? She said "I can't read your minds" again, with a bad attitude. She then said I have 5 people talking in my ear at once --as if that justified her rudeness. Her attitude was completely unprofessional given the confusion was entirely their organizational failure, not ours. And then she has the audacity to say "and don't come back outside" as we wereWalking in. Then why would they tell us we needed to go back outside to grab our last guest???? On the bright side, our server was exceptional and made the best of a frustrating situation. However, Michelle's demeanor, body language, & attitude were so disrespectful that it overshadowed everything else. I hate to leave bad reviews, but when someone is that rude and disrespectful, I speak up. She should not be in a customer-facing role. Unfortunately, her behavior has made me not want to return to Beso. She behaved like she owned the place however even an owner should never act in such way with customers. You guys need to have better organizational management, specially during big events. read more

GHETTO! is what I'd use to describe this establishment. They favor people that they know, security guards were not doing their job properly We went to this bar to watch the Mexico vs. Korea game and left extremely disappointed. The atmosphere was okay, but the service was terrible from start to finish. The place was so overcrowded that it was nearly impossible to walk around, and it honestly felt like a fire hazard. What was even more concerning was the security. It appeared that certain people were allowed to bypass the rules if they knew the security staff, and we even witnessed people seemingly paying security guards to let things slide. The worst part was that a hoodlem looking fella from another group picked a fight with someone from our group and repeatedly threatened one of our friends, saying he was armed and wasn't afraid to use it. Security was made aware of the situation, but instead of removing him from the premises, they allowed him back inside because they knew him. Dabbed him up and everything. GHETTO!! Overall, the lack of crowd control, poor service, and unsafe handling of a serious situation made for a very negative experience. Food was ok for what it was. We will not be returning. All Downey locals stay away from this place! read more

First time experiencing the venue & I would like to recognize the outstanding service and hospitality provided by Mischelle, the promoter. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring everyone had a great experience. Her professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail created an enjoyable atmosphere for me and my guests. We are definitely going back for the service, atmosphere, food, and. speciality drinks. Plus the music is top tier. Mischelle and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made us feel valued and appreciated. Their commitment to excellent customer service truly stands out and reflects positively on the entire club. Thank you for making our visit memorable. I highly recommend this club and look forward to returning. Don't forget to book your VIP section with Mischelle for the best experience. read more

Beso - Dance Clubs Near Me - Downey, California

This club has potential to be better but the setup isn't good. All of the free space is taken up for space around the vip sections to the point where the dancefloor is made so tiny and awkwardly shaped. They put ropes up to cave it in as much as possible to where I wasn't even sure if it was a dancing area until more people came. Half of the vip was empty in the first place. The upstairs is nice but doesn't have a dancefloor upstairs, which would make more sense. Again most of the real estate up there was also for vip tables. Security was really horrible. The women working here I talked to were so pleasant, so this isn't towards them. Specifically one security guard constantly went out of his way to bother me & my friend. It was really weird and creepy. This is all after I asked him one simple question and he gave me the worst attitude for no reason. He really hates his life and it shows. Every chance he got to flash his little flash light on me & try to tell me to move, he took it. Like sir there is quite literally nowhere else to stand. Move where? Even when we got away from the bar to go in the "dancefloor" they still got annoyed with people walking through the literal walkway to get there and told us to go around, in which we had to squeeze in between vip tables. This literally makes no sense. You're creating your own problems allowing too many people in and nowhere to stand and then getting mad at the customers. Besides the spacing & security the music and ambiance was on point. Bartenders were nice. Parking was available. I would unfortunately not come back nor recommend this place due to the security and horribly small dance floor. It seems they only care about selling tables but honestly nobody is going to want to come back a second time when you have these kinds of issues. read more

I enjoyed Beso because they had great Reggaeton music! The great part is if you get there before 10 PM there is no cover charge. The setup is great because there is a dance floor plus there are vip tables if you would like to get a table. I was really fun and I would go back, but I would go back on the salsa night. read more

Jessica is great! Great service and amazing ambiance. Great drinks. Highly recommend!

Security and staff suck. Clearly there's poor management and organizational structure at this establishment. If you're gonna be hosting for the World Cup then plan accordingly, lots of people complained about not being aware you had to buy seats for the game, leaving no options but standing by the bar clearly causing a safety hazard. The bitch ass security guard was out here pushing girl into the bar and continued complaining about how we weren't moving. Moving where? Want us to sit on the bar? Meanwhile his homies were standing in the middle of the aisle and he just dabbed them up and allowed them to take up all the room. It was so fucking hectic in there. I understand that the servers were stressed out but to say "the customers don't matter, push them because I have orders" is crazy. Also blaming the customers for being in there? Maybe get your managers in check at the amount of individuals being allowed inside such a tiny ass place. Get a better team, re-evaluate your team, ESPECIALLY this p.o.s security. read more

Love going here to party and unwind. Mishelle the promoter is always so nice and makes me and my friends feel welcomed.

Beso is a cool spot in Downey, there's a lounge in the second floor. We have gone twice with my wife and usually get some small bites and drinks. Music is mixed up between reggaeton, house, hip hop and rock en español. The crowd is mostly Latino, but there is a mix of everything. They offer bottle service with the waitress bringing drinks and a sign with lights. read more

Hey guys Esmeralda and Alexis are the greatest bar tenders . I really appreciate their service and they have much love thank you much your service meant appreciate your hard work will come in handy read more

It gets hella packed, only a small center stage to dance in. Walk ways are so crowded and "security" walking down them with strobe flashlights every few minutes. Have to constantly move so they could get past. Don't even get me started on false advertising, it stated free admission before 11, and charged us 25 a person each. when I showed them if it meant nothing, he just shook his head. I love one of the bartenders tho! She was so sweet, wish I got her name. It was so loud so I couldn't hear her that well. read more

I honestly don't understand the hype around Beso. They try very hard to create an upscale Hollywood-type atmosphere, but the energy and customer service just don't match it at all. What stood out most was how uncomfortable and unwelcome we felt the entire time. The bartenders were rude, dismissive, and gave off the impression that they were judging people based on appearance and race. As Black customers, it genuinely felt like we were being racially profiled while spending money in the establishment. What makes it even more ironic is that they heavily play African American music and benefit from Black culture, but the treatment we experienced felt completely opposite of appreciation or respect. There are plenty of places in Hollywood and LA where people of all backgrounds are welcomed, respected, and treated equally regardless of what staff assumes about their income or status. Unfortunately, this was not one of those places. I would not recommend spending your money here if you expect professionalism, inclusiveness, or quality service. read more

I'm giving this place a one star. First and last time going. I went here last night to see a singer perform. My party and I reserve a table. We still had to wait in line. VIP line was so long, security was cool no problem. Once we got to our table, they gave us the menu. I guess in order to stay in the table, we had to order a bottle, when we want to mixed drinks instead, but there were tables around us that had no bottles and they were casually just sitting there. We got kicked out of our table and to top it off they charge like $66 per person, when on the website, it said free before 11 or pay $20 on the web, and after 11 it'll be $30. But since they are a different company because we sat upstairs, that was their cover charge. Overall, we did end up getting a great view so I'm happy we didn't stay at the table. But I won't be returning here for false information. read more

Giselle was amazing! I don't really go out much, so I was a little nervous at first, but she made me feel so comfortable and welcomed right away. She had such a friendly attitude, checked in on us, and made the whole night feel fun and easy. You can tell she really cares about making sure guests have a good experience. She definitely made the night better, and I would 100% recommend asking for Giselle and book a table if you go to Beso! read more

My husband and I absolutely love coming to Beso. It has become our go-to spot for our date nights and little escapes from mom and dad life with our four boys. Every time we come, the energy is amazing, the music is always right, and the vibes are exactly what we need. We have easily done around 18 tables here and hands down the service is the best we have ever experienced at any club. Michelle is seriously the best promoter. She always gets us right, takes care of us, and makes us feel special every single time we walk in. She is consistent, professional, and truly makes sure we are having the best experience possible. And Denise... she is THAT girl. The absolute best bottle service girl ever. She is so attentive, fun, and genuinely makes sure we are having a great time all night long. She brings the best energy and really knows how to turn a good night into an unforgettable one. We love her. There is also a guy on the team who helps out and he is awesome too. The whole crew works together to make sure everything runs smoothly and that you feel taken care of. Beso is where we come to reconnect, dance, laugh, and enjoy our time together, and it never disappoints. We always recommend this place to everyone. If you want amazing service and great music this is the spot. Five stars every time. read more

Beso - View from the top of the - Dance Clubs Near Me - Downey, California

The city of Downey has come a long way. Beso certainly is attracting crowds. It's a new spot to have a cocktail and dance the night away. No food served here. I'm confused though; you share the building with Kuduowl Lounge, and same bathrooms, too. Kuduowl is in the second floor above you and everyone enjoys the same music but your bars are ran by different companies and charge different prices for the same exact drinks!? This just seem odd. Last night was good. It could have been great but..... You need to play more than just Latin music all night loooooong. I love Latin music. I think you need to mix it up a lot more, Beso. The cocktails are expensive for the quality. You don't even serve Tito's vodka. Don't get me wrong; Beefeater London Dry gin is an old classic but cmon. Your cover charge is ridiculous! You're not in Las Vegas and certainly not Hollywood. I don't know that I will be back. Doubtful..... DTLA has so many more options and so close to everyone else. Beso, got you outta my system. I came, saw and conquered. I will say; something's gotta give because at this rate you will not withstand the competition in the long haul. Happy March everyone! read more

beso was lit yesterday!! for bottle service, my girl Valentina is always there with great service, very attentive and fun! going back again real soon! thank you Valentina and your team! read more

The party is going on at this spot at 1:45 pm! It's honestly too much fun, the energy is celestial.

The environment and atmosphere are wonderful; however, the quality of the food was disappointing in both taste and aroma. We attended during a special Lotería night and truly wished the food had matched the excellence of the overall experience. Service is also not well at all. Waiter is too overwhelmed and she projects it. read more

Jenny and Esmeralda were amazing server ! I would highly recommend to ask for them! I loved them !!

Everything about this place was amazing. Good food, good service and great music and vibe!

I went to this nightclub with a group of friends. Melissa helped us get a table for our group. We had fun for and were taken care of by our waitress Vanessa. The place is very spacious with two levels of entertainment. The music was great at one point they had, dancers, a live bongo player, and a DJ (who was great. I did notice a couple of fights going on in the dance floor, but security was very fast with getting to the point and determining who needed to go. They don't mess around. The only issue was that at approximately 12:45am-1:00am we were approached to buy another bottle or we will lose our table. After a quick conversation with our waitress and management they were ok with us staying for the night. Be prepared if the club is busy, you may be asked to buy another bottle or lose the table which is standard practice. The place got busy and extremely hot too! read more

I went to this place on a Friday night because Anarchy Library was closed unfortunately, and let me just say it absolutely sucked!! $30 for cover fee?? If the music was good it would've been worth it but all they played was reggaeton and corridos tumbados like how am i even supposed to dance to that, so so lame. Drinks were pricer upstairs for some reason too. Never coming back again. read more

Went there for lotería game night! Place was small but nice decor. Staff were friendly. Drinks were ok. I didn't try the food but it did look delicious! Dj was playing great music. Parking is limited so get there early. read more

Valentines Day Burlesque Show This review is for the Valentines Day Burlesque Show they promoted, offered and could not pull off. I will start by saying the club is beautiful, outside and inside. The server we had was very friendly, apologetic and courteous. The show consisted of 3 female burlesque dancers. Each dancer performed for 5 minutes each. There was no host, no mc or no one to introduce the performers. The first and last performer were terrible, the second one did an amazing job for the 5 minutes she was on stage. The food service was HORRIBLE. Food came out at random times, not in sync with the performance taking place on stage. They were almost 2 hours behind on bringing out the main course. Our steak and dessert arrived when 90% of the audience had already left and the staff was disassembling the tables and chairs. We asked for it to go as the environment became very awkward as the staff was looking at us to get up and get going. My date and I ended up eating our food in the car which is NOT the way a Valentine's Day Date was supposed to go. The idea behind this event was fantastic, unfortunately this company was not set up for it. They lacked organization from the moment you waited in line to the moments we left. The price I paid was 100 dollars per person for a mediocre show. It had me apologizing to my date for something that wasn't my fault. I felt embarrassed and felt taken advantage of. As a business owner myself, this is not acceptable and I will be submitting a request to eBrite Events for a full refund. What was supposed to be a a night of love and romance turned into a night of aggravation, and making my partner and I upset. This was not an isolated event, as we were NOT the only ones who felt this way. EVERYONES food arrived 1-2 hours late and everyone bared witnessed to the mediocre show that was labeled as a Burlesque Show. Total failure and I do NOT recommended anyone attend any event at this place. read more
