    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.

    Lyn Lapid concert!

    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

    Crimson Apple Band. Amazing btw!!!
    Nicole R.

    Had an amazing time at the Constellation Room in Santa Ana this last Tuesday 8/31. Got to go see Crimson Apple and it was my first Concert ever. I definitely enjoyed everything. It was truly a wonderful experience. I definitely recommend coming here if a band you enjoy is playing. My only recommendation is get food before hand cause I believe they only sell drinks, and make sure you have your passes ready to get in quickly.

    Run River North!

    My first time here, but definitely not my last!…read more The Observatory is a fabulous venue in Santa Ana. Parking was easy for us as we'd purchased a pass and we arrived pretty early. The entrance process was licketty split - we carried everything in our pockets. Upon entering, there's a photo spot, merch off to the right, as well as a bar and outdoor seating. To the left of the entrance is a smaller room, this time used for vendors,, but I suspect could be a multi-use space as needed. Bathrooms - clean and well stocked throughout the night - are also this way. Up along a poster covered hallway, and into the concert area you go! There's the stage in the front and a bar in the back. It's GA here folks, but there's a balcony with seats above. We chose the first tier behind the dance floor as there's a standing bar/shelf that spans the railing which is great to lean on and space to put drinks down. The location was perfect for us - up high enough to see everything going on onstage, great view of the folks dancing, and again, offered a space for our drinks and a restful lean. The sound system and lighting effects were fantastic! The lighting perfectly fit the dark, moody, goth atmosphere while the music was as clean and powerful as you'd want. No muddy, echoy, indistinct sound here. And extra wonderful? A pumping AC that kept the packed house cool and fresh as everyone danced all night. Such a great concert and really, the perfect venue for it: intimate yet spacious enough for comfort. Really great venue!

    I went to The Observatory to hear & to see Gimme Gimme Disco in The Constellation Room. This event…read morewas put on by events producer Burwoodland (aka Ethan Maccoby & Alex Badanes). Mark Cuban recently gave a bunch of money to Burwoodland, so I thought this event would be decent. I was wrong. Gimme Gimme Disco was a hot mess. I did not at all have a good time. A ticket to this event cost $27-$31 depending on time of purchase, & parking cost an additional $15. The price & location led me to believe Gimme Gimme would be a well organized event with a properly prepared DJ who prepared a professional level DJ set. Not so, & not at all. Random disco music played before the DJ started, & then when the DJ started, I cannot say the mixing or transitions from one song to another were much better than simply letting songs play out on Spotify or Pandora or cutting to commercial on the radio. I wanted to give the Gimme Gimme DJ (Julimuah?) the benefit of the doubt, so I stayed for awhile to listen to see if the mixing got any better. The Gimme Gimme DJ did no real mixing. Songs were blended in at random points. A song with a tempo of 100 was played immediately after a song with a tempo of 115. Songs were regularly cut mid vocal etc. The quality of DJing/music was not good enough to expect people to pay money to buy tickets. I'm incredulous that The Obseratory would book such a mediocre event/DJ/etc. Because the Observatory is a venue where professional musicians often play, there was a sound guy or engineer on the sound board. I asked him what was going on with the DJ. I mentioned she was not doing any mixing at all. He agreed, & then he added: "Yeah. DJ culture has changed so much though." I do not know whether this was an apologetic statement. It is hard not to read/construe the statement like a subpar excuse. After speaking with the sound guy, I opted to request a refund, & to leave immediately. I asked a security/door staff to connect me with a manager. The security personnel referred me to management. Here is the gist of my dialog with the manager: Self: The DJ for Gimme Gimme Disco is not mixing at all. Songs are simply being played end to end with little mixing, beatmatching, etc. The dancefloor stops between tracks. It is just really bad. Sorry. Management: I hear you. Unfortunately, the Observatory cannot refund your ticket. Gimme Gimme Disco rented The Constellation Room so it is their event; not ours. They rented the room for the night. Self: Okay. I understand. Could you please put me in touch with the people from Gimme Disco who booked The Constellation Room & planned the event? Management: They (Gimme Disco) have a website, etc. [The manager then proceeded to show me the contact us page of the Gimme Disco site]. I realize the manager might not have legitimately known who from Gimme Disco coordinated the event. However, the Observatory staff did not make much of an effort to connect me with anyone who might actually issue a refund. A contact us form on a website is usually a dead end. So the rental format of some events, such as the Gimme Disco event I briefly attended, allows The Observatory to make money without much, if any, responsibility/accountability, & getting in touch with anyone representing an event results in being forwarded to a FAQ or Contact Us page. Seems like a pretty ideal business structure for The Observatory & any themed event planners booking events. The Observatory makes money renting space; the event makes money too. Anyone who feels or was cheated out of their money is left with no one to direct their complaint to--unless a website Contact Us page counts as a person. I obviously did not risk eating any food or drinking anything at The Observatory. I feared the drinks might be as bad as the music, so I walked back to my car sober, & happy to no longer be inside such an indifferent, disappointing, unprofessional, & impersonal venue. I am legitimately stunned that an event put on by Burwoodland & all the deep pockets behind it could be so utterly lamentable. I want a full refund. An apology from The Observatory &/or The Gimme Disco people would not hurt either. People should not have to pay concert level prices for crappy DJing, & a dismal ambience. I reached out to Alex Badanes for a refund. He initially suggested that I would be issued or given a refund. I never ended up receiving a refund. Neither Alex nor anyone representing Burwoodland followed through after the first hollow mention of a refund. Fake talent, mediocre event, & false gestures are the norm for Burwoodland & its reps.

If you're in Orange County, this is a must-visit spot--you really should treat yourself at least once.

People are actively moving therefore they breathe that disgusting stuff twice as much. And don't let me start on breathing that while eating! For me personally...I already ended up in the hospital, because of second hand smoking, once. And I really don't want to do it again. Also what would be handy...is another LIVE bartender. Whoever is there so far looks like he's there as a punishment. Wanted to order a drink at the bar and the guy totally overlooked me. and that's not the first time. So yes...if the place can fix these two things, it would be a way more pleasant experience for, as I believe, many. Thank you.

    I honestly had no idea this place was here (I guess I'm not cultured lol)…read more This place did not disappoint. It's in a really nice area of Costa Mesa close to a bunch of hotels, south coast plaza and some of the best restaurants. (So many options for you to pick from and have dinner before your show) The architecture of the building itself is really beautiful. I would say it's a little tucked in, because I am always in this area and have never seen it before. The ambiance inside is nice as well. It's extremely clean This place has a parking garage and valet. Unfortunately, we had no idea they had valet. So we just automatically parked in the parking garage. But they do have a little walk way that is extremely easy to get to the building from the garage The lines went extremely fast for getting into the building. There was no restrictions on handbag size. ( or at least they didn't say anything to me about it / could differ from show to show and who is performing) All I had to do was open my purse and walk through a metal detector. Everyone was so friendly Once we entered the building, there are tons of staff directing you where to go if you need help finding your section They do have stairs when you walk in, but they have elevators. I chose to walk up a few stairs and then take the elevator to get to our seats We had second floor box circle level seating. It was extremely easy to get to the seats and the lady who took us to our seats was extremely kind and helpful She also gave us the rules - No placing your handbag on the railing, no video or flash photography I can't stress enough, the importance of elevators and it being accessible. So 5 stars for that The bathrooms were very clean and had a great amount of bathroom stalls. So there was no line I only saw one very tiny stand where you could get refreshments.
