I went this past Sunday, 8-2-26. It was cool. No problems. It was a lot of people. A mixed crowd. We were all upstairs for a day party. There was also an event going on down stairs. We took the elevator to go upstairs. The Dj was playing some good music from 90s to 2000s R&B. And also some rap hits. From the looks of it, everyone had a good time. I didn't hear any complaints from anyone. I ran into about of handful of people I knew. The drinks are cool and average prices at a club or lounge, in my opinion lol. But I would return again. read more

This is an update I ended up coming back here after deciding on some reggaeton fun. Long story short, this place is way overcrowded, very pricey cover ($35), and watered down drinks. I asked if they could make an old fashioned and it was literally the worst I have ever had. It was loaded with ice and had little alcohol in it. If you are drinking, don't order any cocktails. The place is still very small and extremely tight and crowded. You can't really dance, and there's probably a 65/35 split of men to women here. The only upside is the DJs/music. Not coming back read more

The party scene has amped up due to the different venues that are hosting watch parties. Beso was one of them, and thus I decided to visit this spot for a good time. And a good time I did have. But before getting here I had to experience its line. Colombia was playing another team, I cannot remember who their opponent were. After this game, Argetina was playing another team, I cannot remember who the other team was, either. I was in line to enter the club while the Colombia game raged. The entrance was suppose to be free. Yet the line was not moving. Which gave me an opportunity to view the dynamics of the line, and quite frankly, also endure them. In front of me were four guys. They were roughhousing, or should I say roughlining. One of the guys made another guy drop his cellphone and glass case. The guy who dropped his items called the instigator colorful names laced with expletives but with a smile and jovial energy. To each their own I thought, but I did not see how this kind of engagement was fun. Then I discovered that the instigator had been kicked out of the club earlier. He was asked to leave anew, to depart not only from the club but from its line. He had tried to insert himself with an existing group and thus enter cloaked by a pack. The three guys did not disengage with the instigator and followed his shenanigans with a grin and bare it approach. I am not sure how they felt when the bloke left but I think they might have felt an internal sense of relief that they did not show in their body language. Soon after it was my turn to feel the lash of the line. There was this security guard or bouncer that spoke to the three dudes in front of me. He explained that the cost to enter was 10 dollars because now that the Colombia game had finished, the after party began, and to enter it would be 10 dollars. I heard three guys behind me discuss the entry free and decided to not enter. I heard them rationalize how 10 dollars was too much to spend for Beso. Their reasons mostly surrounded around the statement one made: "I've been here before and there were not many girls". So they decided to "step out later that night."The biggest take away for me is that they did not want to shell 10 dollars after waiting and being there. They were not cheap, they were responsible with their fun spending, and made choices that were best for them. They reflected what one should do when navigating a nearly suffocating inflation atmosphere. The three guys in front of me entered and so did I. However, the security or bounce that I discussed above tried to block my good time. When he informed the three guys of the cost, he only looked at them and not me. WhenI was paying, he told the casher, "you wanna let him in, he was wearing a tshirt." The cashier nodded yes, and the bouncer said, "are you sure." In my attempt to party, he was the villain of my tale. I was showered, clean, dressed in what I felt comfortable in, and made me feel good, and he deemed it unworthy attire. To him, I say relax, my outfit in no way disrupted the integrity of Beso. But he made me feel like I should not enter despite other people wearing Jersey and t-shirts. I felt singled out, and for what reason I am not sure. The partying was so much. And I did meet a bartender who helped the cause. His name was Marcel. I got three margaritas. When I went for the third one, he was helping another customer, and as she was closing her tab he looked at me and raised his finger to signal one, and I said yes. He had gathered that I was there for my usual, and instinctively shortened my wait. He acted in a respectful and seasoned matter. These actions seem small but they help me feel like the party belongs to me too! The game played in screens in front of us and above us, while the dance floor blazed. I lost myself in the moment, in the good time, which is the highest praise I can offer a club. I had fun, and I was glad I came. At one point, I looked at the lasers of Beso, and my mind was quietly hypnotized because the videos seem to have a vapor flowing within them. I tried to capture a video of it, but I am not sure if I was successful in capture the vapor inside the lights. But I never had seen taht before, and I am not sure where it came from, the vapor within the light. I will go here again, I will just make sure to take the right type of shirt. And maybe have one in the car as backup in case my taste does not meet the quality measure of this place. read more

This place suck!s. You make reservation in which they don't honor it!! Plus security is rude if u accidentally step on the wrong side they start yelling at you!!! It's not worth being in this place!!! Plus they don't have draft beer only can it's suck!! read more

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

Food tasted great! Music was fantastic! Vibe was lit! Drinks were good too. Service was quick and friendly!

Beso - Dance Clubs Near Me - Downey, California

Best club in like a 20 mile radius. 2 floors, state of the art audio/visuals, fast drinks

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

Worst experience ever!!! do not attend to this place they harass and over charge. Its a small place, cant even dance, they'll have you pack in there like sardines. also all there security are un professional they don't know how to communicate or explain anything just push you around! WE try talking to the boss/ supervisor/ manager whatever that lil guy was I think his name is ELMER but yea he couldnt even help us out or find a solution so yea just never going back to this place but would love if they get investigated. DESERVES NO STARS! read more

Came here for Reggeton brunch, and Jenny was super nice and gave us free samples! Had so much fun, food was delicious and drinks were strong

I was really excited to visit this place after seeing all the TikTok videos of people watching the FIFA World Cup and playing soccer-themed games. It looked like such a fun atmosphere, so my group decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing from the moment we arrived. We were immediately asked whether we had General Admission or VIP tickets. We had already purchased tickets but had no idea there were different admission levels because that information wasn't made clear beforehand. After our tickets were scanned, a server asked how much we planned to spend. We were then told that unless we were spending at least $400, we would have to stand in the back with no seating. Spending hundreds of dollars just to get a chair is unreasonable, especially when this policy isn't clearly stated on their website or social media. Another disappointment was the false advertising. Their TikTok and Instagram make it seem like both the upstairs and downstairs areas are open during the event. However, when we asked about the upstairs seating, we were told it was only available for the after-party. That was completely different from what was advertised online. Overall, this place is much smaller than it appears in the videos, and the prices don't match the experience. If you're planning to visit based on what you've seen on TikTok or Instagram, I recommend saving your time and money and going somewhere else. They should be much more transparent about their seating policies, minimum spending requirements, and which areas are actually accessible during events. read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch with the ladies. Food was amazing!! Service was excellent! And the music was poppin! Highly recommend!!

We had fun celebrating our girlfriend! Great drinks and the pozole was amazing!!! The servers were also very nice!

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

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

Beso has the best vibes. Great food and great music. The DJ Ralph is phenomenal. I give five stars to Ashley for being so sweet and so kind. Excellent customer service. Beso really knows how to do their thing to keep the customer happy!!! read more

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

This is honestly the worst experience I ever had at the establishment. I was literally in line for almost 30 minutes got to the front and they told me I'm 86 never been there once had a ticket and everything to get in. They told me I can't come in. I spoke to the managers. They were very rude disrespectful. I don't know if they're races or what exactly going on but this is a horrible experience I did not recommend you guys to come here at all read more

HORRIBLE for Watch parties. Scammers. I've been to a million soccer/football watch parties and this by far the worst place. They say it's free with RSVP but what they don't tell you is if you want to sit, that's $150 for 1 seat! or more if it's a big game like Mexico) a couch for you and your party of 4? $700!!! Want to eat? Well cough up the $150 first cause unless you spent $$$ on a seat, you're not allowed to order food. Your completely ignored by staff, you can open a tab so you to back and forth to the bar risking your standing spot, and they're just all around unorganized. A lot of us didn't know it was minimum $150 a seat and we're all very disappointed with many leave elsewhere. They rip you off. Listen to the reviews. 0/10! Photo is me asking for a time to get a good seat and being told a time but NEVER people told it would cost me $150. If I knew, I wouldn't have bothered. EDIT: they claim to strive to be transparent but nooooo where did they say or mention you have to pay 150+ for just one seat to eat. They're scamming people and they know it. Read the previous reviews to see. read more

Beso - Me asking for a good seating and NOT being told it would cost $150 to sit down. Waited 1.5 hours just to stand. - Dance Clubs Near Me - Downey, California

The guy who has his venue there on Sunday is redue as f.. I was sitting at a table that did not have a reservation sing on it and was told I had to move. Not please remember I'm here on a Sunday afternoon trying to have a good time have having brunch with my wife. We were felling the vibes. And security comes over and tells me I need to move because these seats are reserved. There are no signs saying they are reserved so I let them know I want to talk to a manager. Here comes Mr. Martinez telling me the same thing. I told him there is no sign saying it's reserved. Now mind you in order to sit you game to pay $300 for bottle service. No bottle of alcohol is $300 . I told him I would move when the people who reserved the seats come. But he wanted to be a bully about it and tell me to move or leave. Then he told me I don't need your money. He was very rude. I do not recommend going on a Sunday afternoon even through the vibes were cool. The management needs some schooling on custom services. I don't care who's venue it is you don't treat customers that was. 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

As a person that has been working in the service industry for almost 7 years and a bartender myself, this is the worst experience I've ever had. We waited in line to get in and it was going good but when we got to the front there was a $25 cover for each person. Which is wild and way too much money to charge for a cover. We decided to pay and we got in and immediately when we got in it was so packed, which is normal but the bar and the dance floor was so close together it felt like a hallway and it was so hard to walk. We got some amazing drinks and the bartender was on top of it, excellent service, probably the only good part of our experience. After that we wanted to dance, but when we tried the security guard told us to go a different way, then we discovered that the whole dance floor was only for VIP. Which is in-fucken-sane, i get it having a vip section but for the WHOLE dance floor ???? I've personally never heard of this concept, and to me it's insane to charge people $25 to get into a club and then have to pay more money just to be able to go on the dance floor and dance. Like that's the whole point of a club Also the information of having to be vip to be on the dance floor was never disclosed prior to entering, atleast if that is going to be your tactic of your club, that information should be shared with the customers before entering. I believe they know that this is wrong, and they don't want people to know before going in because then most people won't want to go inside, rightfully so. Also false/ misleading advertising, on tiktok the videos of this place make it look much bigger that it actually is and they show that there is 2 levels, and you probably have to be vip to get up there too. Honestly just so insane way of running a club, they are definitely trying to be like a hyped fancy club like in Hollywood, but this club is in a regular town, if your going to treat people this way atleast have the ambience to do so. I was really hyped to go here based off the videos I saw, and it just didn't hit. I have never written a review ever in my life, but the lack of respect for guests and customers that are going to YOUR bar to give your business money is insane, and pushed me to write this review. Do better. 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

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

Had a birthday dinner next door at Mandala cantina then decided to try Beso nightclub. Opted to get a table right next to the dj and it was a really fun experience. Great atmosphere and plenty of dancing. The service was just right. It was a Vegas style experience in Downey. We had no issues and will definitely be coming back. 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

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

Shoutout to Evil bouncer at the front! Super cool and good food!! Ambiance is awesome!

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

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

Great place for brunch and great music. The DJ Ralphy has the best jams. Always a vibe. Definitely recommend this place for Sunday Funday.

If I could give negative stars I would. Extremely overcrowded, the dance floor is literally the smallest I've ever seen and looks like a UFC fight ring. Be prepared to have sloppy sweaty people touching you the whole time. The securities were extremely unprofessional and were making inappropriate comments. It smelled gross in there was extremely hot and looked dirty as well. Definitely wouldn't come back save your time and money literally anywhere else would be better. read more

If I can put 0 stars I would... Very small & very over crowded dance floor just picture yourself dancing around a small boxing ring... Security looked inexperienced & unprofessional & also were on an extreme power trip by the dance floor the whole night.... Overall horrible experience.. read more

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
