Visited the place for a friend's birthday party and it was quite fun: good sized club with good music. We had a table and I noticed that the staff kept on checking how many used glasses we have and replacing them without us asking them.  The downside: the floor was sticky all over the club. We got there around 10 pm and from the moment we stepped into the club, our shoes kept on sticking to every square foot of the club: entrance, dance floor, at the table, near the table.  Not sure why, because I've seen staff wash all the slipped spots right away read more

Nice space for dancing, but unfortunately the cocktails weren't good. There was also no sign or notice at the entrance about what type of event was happening. After paying the entrance fee, we realized it was a special celebration for a national holiday from another country, with music in a language we didn't understand. We didn't feel like it was the right event for us, so we left the club after about an hour. read more

I luckily won a bottle service for Opal Social Club giveaway on Instagram! I recommend checking their Instagram for events and giveaways that are happening. They have a few deals like the $5 Cazadores shot deals on Fridays and alcoholic boba happy hour from 9-10 PM! Besides Cazadores shots and champagne, I tried the Bootea Me Down SIP Alcoholic Boba (Mango Green Tea + Tequila) and it was pretty good! You can't really taste the alcohol in the drink, but it is very sugary/sweet. I think I would've liked this as a regular mixed drink and take out the boba! The honey boba was chewy, and surprisingly well for it being at a nightclub. My first thought after leaving the club was that the service here is amazing! All the workers were very attentive and made my girl group feel safe! This would be a great spot for those who want to go out but not go into a super crowded club. My only concern about this place is that the bathrooms are pretty nasty. Like "I'll wait to go home and use the restroom" or worse than a gas station nasty. It made me wonder what the cleanliness maintenance is for the nightclub. read more

Came with some friends to see their favorite DJ and we were really disappointed with some of the lack of clarity surrounding the event. I had bought VIP tickets along with them for the event which was supposed to allow you to skip the line. We got there around 11pm during the event and were caught off guard by the 20$ cover fee. This was really surprising for us since on the event site where we bought tickets, the other ticket types specifically mentioned this cover fee (or rather mentioned that it was free before 10pm or so), while the vip tickets did not. Because of when we showed up, there was no line anyways, so we ended up paying about 250$ collectively for pretty much nothing, which at that point if my 30$ ticket is wasted, at least don't also include the cover fee. Not to mention, drinks took forever and the bartenders weren't super attentive, especially the back bar - which was surprising since there was less people compared to the circular bar up in front. Pretty standard drinks and a little on the smaller side for the price. read more

Summary: overpriced drinks and bad crowd. Sad to report that this is NOT the same Opal nightclub that I used to remember & used to love. Way different post-pandemic. I understand they are under different management. The crowd is SO young. And drinks are way overpriced! I went on their grand re-opening weekend (last Saturday night) and it was not that much fun. I was disappointed. Music was way too loud & lacked variety. I arrived early before 9:00 pm to avoid the cover charge. The crowd was way too causally dressed. Saw some people even in sweats (what happened to the dress code?) I admit I was more casual than usual that evening (black jeans, black heels, & a cute tank top) -- it was cold. In the past, I would definitely wear a mini dress with high heels or whatever. But back to the review... So I go to the bar to order a shot for my friend & I (we like kamikaze shots because they're more light than say, a tequila shot) and the bartender is like, "we don't make those here." She did not offer to make me something similar- like a lemondrop or something? So I order two vodka cranberrys instead... it was like $17 each! Or maybe $18? - trying to remember my credit card charge. That is way overpriced! After tipping that comes out to almost $20 for a drink? No thanks. I will definitely NOT be returning here. read more

Love the event space and how convenient it is. Parking is great and ambiance is trendy! The head of security (Ramon) and staff really helped our group have a great night. read more

Only giving a couple stars because the bottle service girls were so kind and had amazing customer service and took care of us! Saturday night 8/6 my friends went to opal and booked 2 VIP tables. We wanted to try the alcoholic boba and ordered our drinks during the stated happy hour period. When showing the male bar tender working the boba bar our e-mail showing happy hour is $5 drinks his response to our group was "oh those emails are retarded. And the drinks are $7" We weren't stressed about the price but his response was disrespectful and rude. We do not condone the use of the R word and my group didn't spend over $700 on tables to get treated that way. this was around 10PM Saturday 8/6 the only Male bar tender at the boba bar. Please train your staff how to speak to customers appropriately. Thank you read more

I frequent here just because it's so close to my house. it can get pretty lively and the crowd is always fun. Music is always great and bottle service is worth it if you feel like spending. My friend DJs occasionally and shes awesome! read more

Opal has so much potential as a newer club but I'd rather wait until management makes some changes before I come back. Not sure if my experience was a one-off thing, but the club was dead despite being a Saturday night. The DJs... needed some practice. A+ decor and A++ security though! My lovely lovely friend was hosting at Opal and brought 13-14 ish girls and maybe 5 guys. The requirement to host was to bring minimum 12 girls to get a free table and free bottle. The only problem is that each table is incredibly small and the tables are placed close together. There was barely enough room for 5 people at the table, let alone accommodate the size of the party we brought. The size of the table would not have been as much of an issue if the dance floor was more inviting. Around midnight, the club was still pretty much empty :( A handful of people were scattered on the dance floor, with most people gathering around the bars. It felt awkward to dance when the club was quiet and the dance floor even more quiet. The opening DJ also didn't help as he kept skipping songs in the middle and not blending songs together. The main DJ was less choppy but still repetitive. Highlight of my night was the security! I had to leave the club early (to rest for some Sunday errands) and like an idiot, tried leaving the club alone. One of the security guards walked me to my car to make sure I was safe. I was not drinking since I knew I had to drive myself home, but I still appreciated the guards making sure I was sober and could walk properly. I've never felt so safe leaving a club before :) Security was amazing. read more

Iantha had approached me and asked if I like to celebrate my birthday here. She definitely help me a lot with all the questions I had on how to select the drinks I wanted and how to add my friends onto the list so we wouldn't have trouble getting into. Iantha was such a huge help into playing the special night for my birthday, I don't think I wouldn't had a fun night if it wasn't for her. On the night of the event, everything went so smooth. My friends and I had got checked in and got escorted to our table. My table was definitely taken care of by Iantha! The vibes and music were great. My friends and I had a lot of fun for my birthday. I had so much fun! I would definitely come back and plan another event with Itsiantha. She took care of my friends and I on my event. If you would like to book an event or a table here, hit up Iantha on Instagram @itsiantha. read more

Went there for opening night for Y2K Friday and came back a few weeks ago. Opening night was crowded and so much fun. My friends and I had a good time and the music selection was pretty good. Staff at Opal are awesome and super friendly especially the gorgeous bottle service girls. Will be coming back in the future! read more

Great atmosphere drinks are small and a bit of a rip off. $13-14 for a shot size drink is ridiculous plus the $10 dollar fee to get in. Just keep that in mind. Other places surrounding are cheaper for drinks. read more

For a Saturday night, it wasn't the most crowded. I haven't been to the downtown Mountain View scene for several years.l, and it has definitely changed. The bartenders were great, but the club scene was almost embarrassing. The dj was good at times but really needs to learn how to read crowds. The music selection was ok at best. Knowing that the club is only open for 4 hours, the music selection should have been better. As a former dj, I mixed up my music, playing everything at my disposal. Now, it is easier to get some popular mash up music which would still incorporate new and old music. In my dj years, mashup music was done live, now you just have to subscribe to a good music pool. read more

I went there for New Year's party theme Great Gatsby. The cover was $25 for Eventbrite presale, which is pretty standard. We had fun and the drinks were really strong. Apparently they sell alcoholic boba, but they stop serving it earlier in the day. The venue was small and crowded due to a lot of empty VIP sofa reservations. The coat check was $5. The DJ and music we're okay, and the demographic was a mix. read more

Came on a Saturday. Drinks/ Cover are really overpriced. My bf and I left by 12. They remodeled and it looks okayy but it was still pretty empty. Pretty much the same thing just with new lights, wouldn't recommend. read more

This place was pretty dead for a Friday night. Music was hit or miss, usually miss. And drinks were okay - kinda expensive. As the only nightclub in Mountain View, you'd expect more! But it's Mountain View, so you shouldn't have expected more :P read more

Came to visit a friend in the Bay and she mentioned that Arena recently bought this club and it was grand opening weekend. I was excited since I already love all their venues in SoCal. There was a pretty long line that night but our host, Snappy, was able to put our group of girls on the guest list which was super awesome because we didn't need to wait too long to finally get in! Atmosphere was great! The interior & decorations give this place a classy vibe. 10/10 would go again the next time I visit :-) Make sure you hit up Snappy (@ratchetsnappy on IG) for all your groups & table needs! She's the best & most attentive host you could ask for! read more

Most stupid place to spend you time. The only thing the host tells you is to meet you at the back door so that he can get u in with commission. Waited in line for more than 4 hours with ticket but no entry. read more

Love the atmosphere Opal gives. It's so leisurely but also lively at the same time and typically brings in a mature crowd. It's a great place to chill and dance the night away read more

bottle service manager Gabe i think is his name, he does a terrible job at managing his team. I had a bad experience coming here due to uninformed employees. it also lacks bodies, you're better off partying outside with the hot dog sellers. maybe if they hired prettier/nicer people others would feel more inclined to spend money. never coming back read more

We're from out of town, read the reviews, it stated it was a dress code enforced and more mature crowd. Decided to get a 800$ + table end with.. as you can see in the picture, everyone was allow in with sandals, sneakers. Thought this place had more class for a more mature crowd. More for freshmen college crowd.. read more

$20 for a redbull vodka is insane LOL and I've gone out in SF it's never been that much. I also heard they're undergoing new management by Jackson and that it has been a shitshow. Definitely not worth the money or time to check out. read more

We reserved a table for a 21st birthday paid $923 that was supposed to be for up to 12 people , VIP and express lane. For starter there is no line , our table couldn't even sit 9 . The drinks are a scam our bartender told us himself! The bottle girls look like they're are forced to their job because they weren't even nice , attentive ect . Avoid this place! Also if your under 21 this would probably be your place because they did not check any of our ID's read more

ZERO STARS TO THIS PEOPLE. The bartender was drunk and wanted to fight me. AVOIVD THIS PLACE, besides that they don't check id at the front. The vip service is trash. ZERO STARS FOR THE SERVICE, drinks and security. read more

I just got back from Opal tonight and I wasn't impressed; the dance floor was dead, the music wasn't euphoric and the people were lazy to dance, all of them were just sitting down. Like come on, it's a Saturday night and get your groove on! I think I have to give this place a chance though because this is thanksgiving weekend, so maybe people were away. Also note the men's bathroom is downstairs and the women's bathroom is upstairs (club has two floors). The upstairs has a lounge area, but it was closed off. There are two bars downstairs and a little outside patio where people can smoke. read more

I used to come here regularly. Everything has changed about this club since the new management took over. The music is no longer what it used to be. They dont being good DJs anymore. The drinks are pricey and not good at all. The worst thing is, they don't let us come back even if we decide to step out briefly. The only thing improved so far is the security. Somehow the old club, the crowd was better so really the security was enough to begin with. Anyways, took some guests over with us last night, and I embarrassed myself for not doing my homework and should have taken them elsewhere. Never going back anymore. Very sad, that such a great club ended up like this. read more

my go to place to go clubbing to be honest. i've been going back to back weekends. music's great, the vibes are great. i've never had an issue with the service or anyone there. after the renovations, the place looks great read more

Their alcoholic boba was so good! The club is really nice and has a good size dance floor. Was overall a good New Year's party.

Horrible!!! Run for the hills, everyone knows I go city to city informing you of the hottest spots, well this not somewhere people are welcome. I was denied entry for having a neck tattoo and they consider it part of the dress code but dress code pertains to clothing not SKIN! Leave this place for the birds!!! Look at the photo attached, by the way it is not me but I want to know if he is in the correct dress code read more

This review is for this past Friday's game night. I am new in town and very shy, but I saw a post about game night and thought I'd come. For starters, OPAL is a beautiful space that isn't incredibly intimidating. Drinks were strong and tasty. However, the best part was the staff and crowd. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I didn't feel like an outsider at all and I'm grateful for that. I hope to come back to OPAL more frequently while I'm here! read more

Interesting crowd but fun nonetheless! Good music and yummy drinks :) & they have alcoholic boba which is SO yummy. They will also give you free VIP if you call in advance for your birthday! read more

My husband and I came back to this club since I had a great time there the first time I went there with a friend. We also went there last year and it was better back then. It looks like a few things changed there. The first time I was there, there were huge flat screen monitors with images from horror movies on it. The place was decorated more elaborately too. Most of all, we were able to sit on what few chairs were there the first time my friend and I went to the club. No one asked us to get up and move back then. There are two V.I.P areas in the club. The area we were in did not state that it was V.I.P. It was near the entrance. There were no signs there at all. A guy there told us it was for reserved and for V.I.P's only. That was so annoying. Also, I suspect that one of the employees who work for the club used to dress up in some elaborate costume. Check out the pics that I posted to see what I mean. I didn't see anyone that dressed up there this year. Maybe it was just some random guy, but if it really was an employee who dressed up to attract a bigger crowd, then please bring that back to the club! Stuff like that does attract people. As for the club owner Micheal, he's great. He responds quickly to emails and texts regarding the club. This year the tickets only cost $10 for general admission. The wait in line wasn't long at all. We arrived there before 10 p.m. I don't understand if their policy regarding seating has changed or not. They need to add a lot more seats there and NOT make it a V.I.P area IMHO. I've been to lots of clubs before and not to many clubs have this issue that I've been to. What if someone needs to sit down because their feet are hurting or they just want to sit down and rest? There is nowhere to sit except for the patio outside. And there are no seats there unless you count the concrete part of the patio as seating. There were probably 100 people or more inside the club at that time and lots more outside the club. And the majority of the seats are for V.I.P and reserved seating downstairs and upstairs. There should be a non V.I.P area to sit in IMHO. I hope that Michael can make Opal a better place again. read more

This place is trash. DJs seem like they have no idea what they are doing. The connect 4 board game they have inside is way more entertaining. Go to mollys a couple doors down, youll have a lot more fun. Response to owner: Thats awkward. Im not who you think I am. I was allowed in and I wore a dress shirt and slacks (no hat no grill). And even if I did I wouldn't wait until Wednesday to write a review. Oh by the way its not very professional to slander your competition, very distasteful. Mollys has a great vibe and an actual dance floor. Opal is more of a makeshift club with furniture from the flea market. read more
