The music was by far one of the best DJs we've ever experienced, which was just so perfect and made my birthday really special. I loved that our table was so close to the DJ and it was comfortable seating for a private party and I would come back and do my party here again. I didn't eat the food but my party said that it was incredibly good. The only negative is that we ordered two tomahawks and they brought the second one out so late that we really couldn't eat it anymore. We were already way past dinner. Thank you to the entire staff, including the women helping me make the reservation for my milestone birthday with 10 of my closest girlfriends.

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.

Review for NYE special event. I was not paid nor am I receiving any form of compensation to leave…read morethis review, and I paid my own way into the event. Honestly - the reviews scared me. I'm an almost 30 something going into an Irvine club on NYE known for things getting stolen, bouncers being weird, and expensive drinks. I had LOW expectations. However, my experience was quite the opposite! Arriving: It was raining when we arrived around 10:15pm, and there was no line to get in. Bouncers were kind and efficient. I do wish they searched bags though - I was not asked to open my bag, which was concerning because bad people tend to do bad things on holidays. Atmosphere: It's a dark and medium/small sized nightclub. They had it dressed up a hint for NYE, but it seemed pretty standard to how I've seen it in photos. They had an outdoor area, but there was no music and it was pouring rain. While there was a tent outside, it was just too wet to even go out. Bathrooms: There are two small restrooms with appx 4-5 stalls each. There is a very sweet bathroom attendant who provides hand towels. The restrooms were clean and mostly smelled good. Drinks: I bought the all you can drink package, and I was scared that they'd pour light / not have what I wanted / have a limited menu / be too busy and ignore me / etc. This was NOT my experience. The tenders poured well, the drinks tasted good, and there was a good selection. I was always taken care of quickly with waits of less than 5 minutes. Noted, I tipped well for each drink. TIP YOUR BARTENDERS! Music: Very top 40 with a little EDM sprinkled in. As a millennial, I enjoyed the mix. Yeah it was loud, it's a nightclub. Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. The bouncers even pulled out a guy who was literally falling over drunk onto other dancers. I thought they cared for the situation well and with grace. NYE Festivities: Honestly, there weren't many. The club looked a slight bit decorated, and the party favors that were promised with our ticket we're SO limited. Yes, they said while supplies last... but I swear they handed out less than 20 noise makers for the whole club. They also promised champagne showers throughout the night as well as a complimentary champagne toast for the whole club at midnight. Neither champagne option was followed through on. I was also promised two dance floors, and there was clearly only one available. Other things: Seems like there may be some deferred maintenance in the building. The roof was HELLA leaky near the bathroom. They used cones to block it off, but the floor was soaked. Overall, I had a nice time. I removed the star for the lack of follow through on the NYE specific things that were promised to me on my ticket that were not delivered. I also removed the star due to the roof leaking heavily. Other than that, I thought it was a safe, fun, and enjoyable way to spend NYE.

Solid 3.5 star. We came on a Friday night to see Dj Kim Lee (from Bling Empire). And no it was not…read moreinitially my idea to watch B.E. but my friend made me do so & he reallllly wanted to see her. Yeppp I ended up watching the entire season of B.E. Hence here we are! My friend booked online the day off the event for an Upper Level VIP Booth for $300 + tax/fees. We had a good time & of course with thanks to the alcohol too :) Music was not bad but I felt it was better towards the end of the night. Well, here's the quick run down --- Arrived by 10:45PM. No lines whatsoever & no hostess at the front. Just the security working out front & they walked us in to our VIP table. The main club room was at no more than 40% capacity but the smaller patio room was packed (more chill vibe, music was not my liking tho). We didn't get the Upper Level Booth cuz there were hardly anyone there that bought a VIP booth so they closed off all that section. So we were on the floor bout 3 tables away from the DJ booth. The choice of alcohol (priced at $300) we wanted was not available said our hostess. IMO - there was not a lot of bottle choices to begin with. So we had to pick something of a higher price & we ended up having to gett a decent bottle priced at $500. Otherwise if not, we all be having hangover the next day! Oh don't forgot that increase of bottle price doesn't include tax & gratuity, so will have to pay more than what was paid online. 3 lovely waitresses did come out with signs & bottle sparkles to our table. They were super sweet. We had water bottles & mixers. I forgot her name but our assigned waitress came to check on us through out the night & made our drinks as needed. Service was good. They also had 1 aerialist which seemed a bit outta place & unnecessary . DJ Kim Lee did not come on til 11:30PM and left by 12:30AM! Her set was a-ok but we made the best of it & enjoyed our time out. We almost stayed til the end but left around 1:30AM where there was practically no one on the dance floor. Few wore masks & most did not. So all I can stay there was plenty of room to dance all over the main room & no long lines waiting for drinks at the bar or even at the restroom!

She was getting something , she was asking to pay for the item and she already looked like the manager so I had said girllll because she had to pay for her items but I had said it in a jokingly matter. Unprofessionally, she looked up at me and said "did you just say girlll. I'm the manager." In such an aggressive rude tone. There was no reason to look up and approach me in that matter. She should've just smiled and left the room professionally. Most of these customers inside are under the influence due to alcohol. Be positive and have a great time. Clubs are meant to be an escape and a place to be at to have a great time! Going to a nightclub or any sort of event should require good customer service. This place is rated a 3.1 starts on yelp. This "manager" should be coached or removed from the property. It's disgusting how she had the confidence to approach a customer who was in a good mood and specify she was the manager in an angry rude tone of voice. I had spoken to one of the security guards and he listened and apologized, I appreciate his service and will try this place one more time! Had a great night but also security needs to be less aggressive. Security guard touched me and said I need to go inside. He was pushing me back. Very inappropriate and unexpected at a club.

Unsure about the food after reading mixed reviews on quality. Either the previous naysayers don't know food, or we hit on an unusual night. My thoughts are there were other issues that turned the night sour for them. Hubbie had the wedge salad with extra blue cheese dressing AND extra crumbles. Crisp iceberg lettuce, ripe tomato wedges, plenty of blue cheese to satisfy this cheese lover. He also ordered the 8oz. Filet. Perfect medium doneness with a yummy brandy cream type sauce. A house special he thoroughly enjoyed. Heard about the bread & Jax sauce dip. So glad I ordered the large. So the dip was a brothy slightly spicey dip. Reminiscent of spaghetti sauce flavors. Kind of like you're dipping into a saucy entree. Loved this. Had the Jambalaya with added shrimp. Adequate amount of chicken, thinly sliced andouille sausage. Which could have been sliced a bit thicker, but whatever. Tasted great, slight spice, proteins not overcooked. I'd order again. Ordered a dirty martini with an extra olive. Good and strong.

I've been to Sevilla Cafe before and have generally had good experiences, so I was disappointed…read morewith my visit Saturday night. I went with two friends for drinks before heading to the club to dance, and unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. We had a difficult time getting service throughout the night. One of my friends asked for a second drink three different times, and it never came. We eventually had to flag down other staff members who were kind enough to help us. At one point, the waiter assisting me with checking out made a comment about having 30 people waiting on him. I completely understand that restaurants and nightlife can get extremely busy, and I have patience for that. However, the stress of being busy shouldn't be something the customer feels is being taken out on them. At the end of the day, providing service to the guests is part of the job. I don't want to judge Sevilla Cafe solely on this one experience because my previous visits have been much better. This review is based specifically on Saturday night and the service we received from our particular waiter. I've already reached out to the company directly because I felt the experience warranted some feedback. Hopefully this was just an off night, because I have enjoyed Sevilla Cafe in the past and would like to have a better experience next time. Btw I ended up leaving fever stay for dancing, it was that bad.

There's a variety of pinball machines and classic old school arcade games to choose from (as well as some new machines which were recently added). You can exchange cash for tokens and all the games are reasonably priced, either 2 tokens (50¢) or 4 tokens ($1). They've got a DJ bumping live music to set the mood, a couple bartenders dishing out fun themed drinks, and there's even a dance floor with a disco ball if you feel like getting down. It's got a little something for everybody, even if you're bad at the games you can still have fun with friends, on a date, or even on your own! HIGHLY recommend you check this place out, it's a guaranteed good time that isn't expensive which is rare nowadays!!

I hadn't been to Mission Control in about two years, so I was really looking forward to going back…read more Unfortunately, it just wasn't the same experience I remembered. There used to be an area with around a dozen pinball machines, but that area was completely bare this time. There were still pinball machines along another wall, but I remember them being in both areas, so it felt like there were quite a few fewer machines overall. A few of the other games weren't working either, including the air hockey and basketball games. I also noticed there wasn't a DJ that night. That may have been something that simply wasn't scheduled for that evening, so I'm not going to hold that against the place. I'm just mentioning what I experienced. I did get to play Galaga, which was fun, but I was hoping to play Centipede and it wasn't there that night. I ended up playing only two games before heading downstairs to the tiki bar. Maybe it was just an off night, and I may have caught Mission Control at a bad time. I just remember it being a much more lively and fun arcade the last time I was there. I was disappointed because I had really been looking forward to coming back. I hope it was just an off night, because I'd like to see it get back to the place I remember.

Lets just say I made a yelp account just so I could right a review on this place. (Thats how you know it was that bad) The security staff treated us poorly with the exception of 2 or 3 guards. The main club promoter tried to make it up to us by giving us free entrance next time we came but why would we EVER want to come back to a place that gives you terrible service and is rude and disrespectful? I was accused for drinking alcohol inside my car (im 19 btw) and I was denied entrance into the club. I had not been drinking on the premises what so ever. And after I was OFFERED BOTTLE SERVICE AFTER ACCUSING ME OF UNDERAGE DRINKING. Im 19 they clearly knew this and STILL OFFERED it anyways. After treating us poorly, kicking us out, making us stand outside for almost 2 hours, they FINALLY let us meet the rest of our party inside. I only went in because i didnt want to ruin anyone else's night. If it was up to me I would've left. Point is I have never been treated so poorly by a business in my life untill this night. They ruined my BIRTHDAY and my entire clubbing experience. (This was my first time ever going to a club). If you are looking for a great time, and great service dont come to el parral. Save your time, money, and gas. Im not one to complain, I can usually put up with alot but this was just by far the worst service I have ever received. The one star is for those 2 security guards who tried to help me out. They were the best thing about this place. :)
