    Nice small standing room only. Went here for disco night...and it was fun. Well managed from outside security & to inside. Plenty of outdoor seating area (benches) and bars throughout the venue. VIP parking right infront or their regular parking lot is across the street about 5-7mins walk. Staff are nice and friendly overall. Really enjoy this place & felt safe.

    I've been to 4 shows in the Constellation room now and I'm kind of figuring that this is a space for many things, but one of them being a place to start your tour and work out all the kinks. The Constellation Room is located inside of the Observatory concert venue. It's a smaller room with a medium sized stage and a more intimate setting. If it's packed in there, I feel like you still have room to breathe a bit and can exit out the way you entered and I believe it's just a curtain on the west wall of the venue so it should feel less trapped. Parking varies. I've been here and tried to park for free in front and even showed up after the opener and someone in the parking lot was charging $10. I recently showed up during the first song of the headliner and got free V.I.P parking in front. Depends on the time you arrive and if they have a parking attendant at that time. Of the 4 shows I've been to, only one had projections and a little fancier set-up, but basically it's the band or artist and it's a stripped down performance. I think because it's a smaller venue and not Los Angeles, the artist performance can either be like another rehearsal with band members looking at each other and mouthing stuff OR it can be a vibe because it seems to be less pressure and the artist/band can go full out OR it can be intimidating because you're in a small room with your audience in close quarters and can hear a pin drop if the audience is quiet. Haven't seen a show I've hated here and would highly recommend it, especially if it's a band or artist that's just starting out.

    $15 for parking! We double dated for the Kiffness Vote for Pets tour yesterday 6/5/25 and it was horrible! We love the Kiffness but this venue is garbage. It was STANDING ROOM ONLY with way too many people crammed in your personal space. This tiny room they call the Constellation room reeked of sweat and was suffocating with no ventilation. For a room so tiny, the music/sound level was sickeningly deafening and deafeningly sickening. My husband and I, and the couple we double dated with had to leave mid show because our backs were killing us! How disappointing! We were looking so forward to this event. P. S. Even a day after, we're still struggling with back pains (all of us) and back spasms from standing for an hour! Terrible! Avoid this place at all costs. We will never return.

    We came here for the Lyn Lapid concert here in Santa Ana. The concert was great, but the venue was a bit packed with the show being sold out and all. People didn't really fit inside the whole room, including us. We were basically clinging to the curtain that separated the room from the rest of the establishment. The maximum capacity for the room should be adjusted, if it hasn't been already. The event should have been more organized; there was another show going on and I believe that a few people from the other audience poured into Lyn's audience when their show had ended. It was still a good concert experience, made good by the performance that Lyn put on for her fans, but the venue could have been organized better.

    Visited this venue for the first time the other day and was pleasantly surprised, especially with the low rating. I'd been to the Observatory once before, which is also cool, while this is a much smaller venue, located between the Observatory concert hall and the restaurant. This is a nice, intimate space with great acoustics, which allows you to be up close and personal with the artists. I had the pleasure of seeing William Ryan Key here, formerly of Yellowcard, my all-time favorite band. While waiting for the show, we also had some drinks and a build-your-own poutine at the restaurant, which was pretty good! I would definitely come back here again for another show.

    First time seeing a show at the Constellation Room on January 13, 2023. Saw Tunnel Vision. What a great venue. Small room so it had a nightclub feel. There is even a bar in the room so you don't have to leave the show to grab a drink. Ample bars in the common areas of the venue too. Looking forward to seeing more shows here. @tunnelvisionsc

    spacious with good air conditioning, just pay the $10 fee for parking...it's about a 3 minute walk from the building but it's worth it.

    It depends on the concert. Look on the website to see the age limit.

I'm not in the venue yet. I prepaid $10 for parking. The attendant at the lot on sight said this lot is VIP $30 parking. He directed me where to park; following the signs. I ended snaking through a industrial/commercial building area, passing several empty parking lots. Finally found where I'm allowed to park. It's a third of a mile walk. Not a problem for me but ridiculous. Let's hope the venues sound is good. This place has been in business a long time and from reading other people's opinion on parking, management still doesn't have a clue. edit: security would not allow a sealed plastic water bottle to be brought inside.

What we love about this place is they have happy hour everyday from open to I believe 7, you can't beat that! The food and drinks: we got a tamarindo margarita and we liked it a lot. Good flavor although it could have used a bit more alcohol. For tapas we got: croquetas de queso y jamon (we loved them, they were probably our favorite), calamari (it was so good!), empanadas (my boyfriend said they were good), short rib tacos (they were okay but not the greatest), patatas bravas (only thing I wasn't a fan of).

We started with bacon wrapped dates and blue cheese. They were excellent. Our paella was so much food, it fed three people, and we took some home for one more meal. This was half priced on Sunday, a great deal. I wish they had a quieter place to really enjoy the meal in peace. Maybe it is just me, but it was too much like a nightclub and not like a restaurant. Overall, we will return for a Sunday meal for paella. This is a real cultural restaurant.

Our seats were in section one, row J. And if you're further up there's two screens beside the stage. The seats could use some WD40 though. Had a hard time putting it down. Workers are all helpful if you need assistance on where to be seated. And it helps their mood when it's Island music playing too. At one point there were cops next to us watching the crowd, making sure everything and everyone was alright. As for food & beverages, you can bring a water bottle in or food from the fair (if it closed). There's snack options (popcorn, cotton candy and more) available as well and beverages (beer, soda, water) available inside the venue. Bathrooms are located behind the stage or right when you enter the venue. I'd watch more concerts here. It's better than the Greek theater in LA. Easy in and out whether you are coming from the OC Fair or just to attend the concert. Shout out to the peeps in will call, they were able to seat us together with my two separate orders.

That's the dream to do what you love till you're dying day. I'm down for that. I'm definitely that girl. I'll go see you No matter what age if I love you! I love this outdoor amphitheater. The tickets were very reasonably priced, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt like the perfect starter concert to set the summer off right. I'm already planning my return for Sugar Ray and English Beat on July 23.A little tip: if you drink, the venue advertises cocktails, but it's mostly canned beverages. I'm sober so it didn't matter to me, but good to know ahead of time. Also bring cozy clothes because it definitely got chilly once the sun went down.Overall, such a great summer vibe and an easy five stars from me.
