Short Review: 10/10. The District helped me host the best…read morebirthday brunch ever! Long Review: The District helped me host the best birthday brunch I could have asked for. Justyn was incredibly helpful in organizing everything beforehand and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We had a party of 30 people, which can easily get chaotic, but everything went perfectly. Originally we planned to sit on the patio, and they had it ready for us. Because of the unexpected winds, they also prepared an indoor space just in case--and thankfully they did, because the wind ended up being too strong. The transition inside was seamless and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff during the event were amazing. Alison made sure there was never an empty glass during bottomless, the food came out quickly and smoothly even with such a large group, and the overall atmosphere was incredible. The food itself was great American brunch classics, and for bottomless they brought multiple juice options and had the table set up with bottles, juices, and water evenly distributed so everything felt organized and easy. What I appreciated most was that I never once had to worry about my guests. I was able to actually enjoy my birthday brunch instead of managing things, which meant a lot. After brunch our party continued into the afternoon with pool and drinks, and that transition was just as smooth. The vibes were so good that honestly none of us wanted to leave. They were also kind enough to keep our cake in the fridge and even brought it out with the candles lit for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Absolutely no complaints. If I could host every brunch event here for the rest of my life, I would. Truly 10/10 for the staff, the location, the atmosphere, and the overall experience.

A true hidden gem! I came to The District Lounge for bottomless mimosas with the girls and honestly…read morehad such a wonderful time. It was packed so the general manager Justyn helped up set up tables outside which made us feel extremely welcomed. Our server even gave us face stickers! You can tell they genuinely care about their guests- positive energy and service all around. This spot is also so cute for date nights. It's cozy and fun. They even even have a pool table and a photo booth for five dollars. They also offer different events on different nights, so the place always feels new and exciting! Also, their bottomless mimosa deal is SO worth it. If you purchase an entrée, you could get bottomless mimosa for a deal. Chef Carlos is also incredible- honestly I'm not the biggest taco/nacho fan but these were fire. Parking is always easy since they're nearby structure is around a two minute walk. The place also stays open until 2AM even on Weekdays!! Its hard to find that, especially in Irvine. And with Friendsgiving coming up, this is great place to bring your group and hangout. This place is spacious and doesn't feel crowded like other bars. Huge shoutout again to Justyn, Steven, and Chef Carlos for making the visit great. Will be back soon!

And the crowd is very pleasantly a mix of everything! Brandon is a great bartender! Good drinks always! I LOVE the vintage art. And the live music after 9pm is a great time! During the week, seating is available. But weekends and when live music is playing it can get harder to find seats at the bar. Must check this place out! There is a del taco walking distance in the same shopping center, in case you need to sober up lol.

The staff is always friendly and service is usually pretty quick. Decent amount of space to sit or move around, not overly loud unless it's packed. They have a modern digital jukebox so you can play pretty much anything you want. Full bar with all the options you could want. Only marking it down one star because the floors are a but sticky and the men's restroom is tiny! Not as bad as Ohara's but pretty close (IYKYK)

Probably lost to Covid was the popcorn machine in the corner, the giant sack of pretzels. There was some money spent on the bar to give it a little more modern feel. There used to be a tamale guy that would come through and had memories of a dude that would sit at the bar with a machete. Staff was friendly and still appreciate the chill vibe inside.

We opted for a loveseat however this is actually a sofa for 4 so prepare to snuggle with another couple. The concert was supposed to be 'candle light' but the stage lights were super bright and not very ambient which kind of took away from the atmosphere. There is a bar inside and outside of the theater room which is convenient however the bar inside the theater room started their dishwasher half way through the show which was super distracting on top of people dropping keys and phones on the hardwood floor wood floor constantly which was upper loud. Lastly I really with there was a dress code for these types of events, watching a sting quarter with people in hoodies, sweaters and seats just takes away from the overall ambiance in my opinion but this is a personal preference.

Came here on a last minute Friday night plan and honestly, the vibes did not disappoint. Right from…read morethe start, we were welcomed by a friendly security guard at the entrance, which set the tone. Ladies, just a heads up, they do check your purses before entry, and there's a $10 cover per person. I highly recommend getting a table if you can. There's a minimum spend. For us, it was $125 for food and drinks, but it's worth it to have a spot to sit, relax, and actually enjoy the band and the view of the dance floor without hovering around. The live band was so much fun. Everyone was out there line dancing to both country and pop songs, and the energy was contagious. Even if you don't know the dances, it's still a blast to watch and soak in the positive high energy crowd. Next time, I'm definitely coming earlier to learn a few moves and fully join in. They have two food menus plus a drink menu. Food wise, it was decent. I ordered the ranch steak burger (cooked medium) with fries, and it was a good solid choice. The warm campfire chocolate cookie with vanilla ice cream was a nice sweet treat to end the night. Service is where this place really shines. From the security to the staff to even the guests, everyone was incredibly welcoming. You can tell there are a lot of regulars, and it creates this friendly, almost community like atmosphere. Our waitress (I didn't catch her name) was amazing. She was super attentive, constantly checking in, clearing the table, chatting with us, and just giving off the warmest energy while still being quick and efficient. Overall, the people truly make this place. Great music, fun crowd, and an all around good time. Already looking forward to coming back. Next time with better planning and maybe a few line dance moves ready

Best part is that you can request songs, so if you only know 5 songs so far like me, come early to write them on the list so that you're not just sitting on the sideline all night. The bar & food are pretty darn good. Solid nachos and french fries def good munchies while you're drinking and waiting for your next song! We reserved a table for a birthday on a Saturday, had to spend at least $350 for the booth. The food food was really good though, my favorites were the scallops. Cocktails and shots were served throughout the night, plus the booth had prime seating watching the dance floor. Overall a great place to celebrate!

PHYSICAL ABUSE. I…read morewalked in with 2 friends and asked to use the restroom, we were told by a polite woman that they we couldn't use their restroom so my friends started to head out. I asked if she knew where the nearest restroom would be - before I could finish my sentence a bouncer was aggressively shoving me and telling me to leave- enough so to where I almost fell, could've hit my head on the stairs behind me. I was shocked and I asked him to stop, I wasn't doing anything I was happy to leave. But again before I could finish he aggressively shoved me two more times. This isn't legal. I work at an establishment close by and we were just grabbing street tacos after work, and didn't mind leaving when asked but there was an abuse of force. I'm 5'2" and this man was definitely 6'2"+ and atleast 2 times the size of me. Another bouncer realized this man was being aggressive and stood in between us, and asked me to start heading out. I was in shock and started to do so, reminding them that I hadn't done anything wrong and there's no way it's ok to shove or push somebody who is complying. I hadn't been in the building longer than 5 minutes before all of this happened. Another bouncer came - he looked like he was the manager and it seemed like they knew they had done something wrong but said "it was their job". I was exhausted- I feel traumatized I am never going back and I would never recommend any person to ever step into this building ever again.

City National Grove of Anaheim was easy to get to - just a couple blocks down the 57 freeway on…read moreKatella. PARKING When I purchased concert tickets, I had the option to add prepaid parking. Check to make sure you have that option too because it was a quicker process. SECURITY I felt secure here. There is a size limit on bags/purses so be sure to follow the instructions. I used a mini clear bag to hold my phone and wallet. VENUE, SEATING & SOUND SYSTEM I liked the size of this venue. It was smaller so anywhere you sit is a good view. The seats were cushioned chairs held together by zip ties. And while the seating map appeared to be in sections, it is all on one floor with an incline. As a musician, I was really bothered by the sound system. I'm not sure if it's an in-house sound tech but they really didn't balance the instruments and singer's volume. Perhaps a more thorough sound check was needed IMO. FOOD, DRINKS & MERCH They sold food and drinks at the venue. What I saw people eating here were popcorn. Since I got to the venue early, I walked across the street to get something to eat. Across the street there are casual dining options like Panda Express, Carl's Jr, and Chipotle to name a few. I chose the latter. I picked up some merch before the show started to avoid any rush after the concert. I'm not sure what pay methods they take but I used my card and it was a quicker process transaction. RESTROOMS The restrooms were clean and well-maintained. I made sure to use the women's restroom before the show started and I'm glad I did because there was a long line after the show ended. Overall, the Grove of Anaheim is a smaller venue on a single floor plan with high ceilings, could-be-better sound system, cushioned chairs, and great lighting. I don't mind returning to watch another show here. It was very enjoyable.

The Grove is a decent indoor venue. It's on the smaller side, with video monitors on both sides of…read morethe stage. Sound is fine. The seats are the weakest aspect. If you're not seated in the first tier, the seats are banquet chairs that have been tied together. Restrooms were clean. The water coming out of the sink was surprisingly warm. You are not allowed to bring a bag in larger than 5"x9"x2" - they do enforce this limit, as I saw people returning to their cars with their bags. They do not accept cash for parking. You can either buy your parking ahead of time online (which I think is cheaper) or use a credit card when you get there. The theater is kind of generic inside, but you're there for whomever is on stage, not the decor. Overall, not a bad place to see a concert.

He took the time to curate a preferred playlist with me to cover the entire evening and looking back now that it's been a couple of weeks, I can easily say that having Vaughn there really tied together the ambiance I was going for and was among one of my favorite investments on my wedding day. I definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to add that magical feeling and touch of whimsy to their event. And one final reason why Vaughn is the type of professional that you want on your side during event planning, I had been scammed by a catering company who took our deposit and then went completely unreachable despite still being active on social media, and Vaughn was able to put me in contact with a trusted vendor he'd previously worked with and truly saved the day!
