    Very nice cozy venue. The entire process was smooth, Romina is such a pleasure to work with. During the event the entire staff was helpful and polite. Centered location with plenty of parking in the area. The day of the event you get full access to the venue and they make you feel very comfortable to do any additional decoration you want The food was yummy and the bartender was super nice.

    My wedding reception set up

    Overall, an amazing venue had my wedding here in October 2025 and I all I can say is amazing things about this venue. Romina, the venue manager went above and beyond for myself and my family to make my wedding beautiful and amazing. She was readily available when I had a question and always answered back promptly and also when I was having issues with a few vendors, she reached out to them for me. I've recommended this venue to so many of my friends who are nearly getting engaged all because of Romina.

    I recently had my daughters quince here at the 1912 and let's just say that I absolutely do not regret it whatsoever! From the staff to the bartenders to Romina answering the million and one questions I had. Romina was so great about answering the million questions to giving great advice and recommendations ! She even helped me the cake and help set up for the day! She also recommended our Dj and MC which they made sure we stayed on top of the schedule and kept the party going till the very last minute! What I truly loved about this venue a it's Corp that they make it easy for you to make payments at your own pace. We had our food tasting in Jan and they provided the different catering options and they also had different vendors that they work with them ! I would definitely recommend this place!! So much that we will be coming back as Guest for another family event in June !

    Wow. Did this venue check off everything on my list, oh yes. Not only is it a great location. They accommodate to a lot of things most venues would deny. Romina is one of the sweetest person I've met,responds right away and is extremely helpful.She even helped out the day of the wedding to make sure my dream valentine's wedding came to life. The staff is extremely helpful and so polite. The price is very reasonable for everything that comes included.I really can't recommend this service enough.

    I recently just had my wedding here and honestly it was nice and most of the workers were very nice but the venu coordinator Romina was very difficult to work with. I would text her to ask simple questions and she would never text me back. Also, the elevator was broken the week before and we were told it would be fixed by the day of the wedding but all my guest who used it informed me it was very scary and felt like they were going to get stuck. The cushions used for the ceremony seating were dirty, as well as many of the napkins they gave us to use for our dinner. That was just the day of complaint. Romina made our whole wedding planning a horrible experience. She lost our food tasting paper. Several times she continued to mention the incorrect date of our event, and I'm pretty sure she still doesn't even know mine and my husbands names. She seemed unorganized and unprepared. At one point, we regretted putting a down payment down for the terrible treatment we were experiencing. Also, the place allows you to stock the bar and I heard from my guests that someone at the end of the night was giving away our bottles that we had brought. Not cool! This place is nice but trust me there's better places! Just keep looking. Lastly, the parking situation for guests was not great, and the homelessness around the area is simply out of control.

    First and foremost, we would like to thank Romina for executing the perfect wedding celebration for us. She was amazing throughout our event. The venue was absolutely stunning. The staff and crew were friendly and helpful. We definitely would recommend this place. The food was on point, and the bar was excellent. The location was stunning. Romina, you're the best!! We had a great time and couldn't be happier with the results of our wedding. Thank you for the awesome memories we created with your help, Romina.

    Last week I coordinated a Poker Night & Social at The 1912 for a non-profit organization I'm a part of. We had about 180 people attending (80 in the Poker Tournament). Romina was so great to work with in planning the event. She was responsive and accommodating whenever I had changes. She was a great help in working out the best set up for tables to make the best use of the space. Since the venue did not have another event the day/night before ours, she even allowed us to come in and set up things the day before - that was such a huge help and made the day of the event so much less stressful. The staff was awesome during the event. I heard feedback from several guests about how attentive and helpful they all were. It's a small thing, but I loved that the security guy was dressed up in a black suit instead of a yellow windbreaker that says "SECURITY" like we have had in previous years when I've put on this event - it added a lot of class to the event. The bartender was friendly and fun. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The venue itself looked great - with that rustic feel. It was perfect for the fun/casual event we were having. My guests were so impressed with everything! Loved it so much that I'm planning to do next year's event there as well!

    We absolutely loved this venue from the moment we walked in and loved even more working with Romina. The venue itself has a phenomenal atmosphere, very modern, industrial and classic. The location, Downtown Santa Ana has so much personality and a great lively scene too. We compared a lot of different places and this was the most affordable without cutting back on quality or service. Their packages are very inclusive and transparent. They offer a full, friendly staff who were more than attentive. Romina was an absolute dream to work with, we had changes up until the day of the wedding and she was flexible and accommodating. She was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns making sure we were stress free and would love our wedding which we did. We were able to have live music, a boba bar, and a taco stand. She really made everything work so smoothly! 10/10 recommend having your wedding at the 1912!

    I visited this venue for a Weeknd tribute party and the production here was great! The interior was…read morenicely decorated, the atmosphere was curated well, and the staff had general organization down. The drinks here were great as well! They were sweet and tasted like juice. The bartender was also good at putting on a show while mixing the drinks. In the venue, there was a free photo booth for digital photos which was nice. The music played wasn't my style (not the biggest Weeknd fan), so there was an outdoor area to get fresh air and relax at. Overall, a solid night club and would come back here if there were events with music that I like.

    I've always enjoyed going to the Yost Theater, which is why this experience was so disappointing…read more My friends and I reserved tables this year for the Super Bowl and the Mexico vs. South Korea game, and we had such a great time at both events that we decided to come back for Mexico vs. England. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different. The venue was extremely overcrowded, people were constantly standing in front of our table, and we could barely see the screen even though we paid for reserved seating. Security did absolutely nothing to control the crowd. Several security guards were on their phones, vaping, and even blocking our view themselves. When we tried speaking to someone who appeared to be a manager or person in charge, he offered no solution. He then approached my boyfriend and randomly asked what he did for a living, which had absolutely nothing to do with the issue. After my boyfriend answered, the man said something along the lines of, "So you know you can't control everything." Instead of making unnecessary comments, he should have done his job and controlled the overcrowding and security issues inside the venue. We spent good money on a table and expected to actually be able to watch the game. The way the situation was handled was dismissive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. It's especially disappointing because our previous experiences were so good, but after this, we will seriously reconsider coming back.

    Nice, intimate venue. Really cool place to see a small concert. Looking forward to another visit.read more

    I saw my cousins Henri and Bill play in their band Starcrawler here a couple of weeks ago. I…read morebrought along with me the inimitable Dave Benitez. My sister and brother-in-law were there, as was my cousin Buddy, father of Henri and Bill. OK, enough name-dropping. I'll talk about the venue itself--I really will--but I have to focus on parking, because it's an utter joke. We knew we would be late because of when we left, but we did arrive at the parking lot in time to see at least part of the opening act--or we would have, if the place's parking lot hadn't been tiny. The attendant told us to make a left and right and then turn right on the first street and look for parking there. If there wasn't any, we were to proceed to the following street, in front of the Jack in the Box, and if there was no parking there, we could probably (!) park in the Jack in the Box parking lot without getting a ticket (!!). I followed his directions to a tee, and there were no spaces on either street in indicated, and I wasn't about to get my car towed two days before I had to drive it back to San Francisco. This part of Santa Ana is all commercial and industrial businesses in strip malls with parking lots, but for some reason, there's no street parking. I would understand a no-overnight-parking restriction to prevent people from living in their vehicles, but what purpose does the current restriction serve? None, other than to frustrate would-be spenders of sales tax in Santa Ana--stupid policy. Anyway, we spent the next twenty minutes driving up and down similarly long blocks, hoping for some legal parking. Then my brother-in-law saved the day by calling us and telling us to go to the Jack in the Box parking lot and look for the guy in the safety vest. We did so, and after we paid him $20, he directed us to one of those empty business parking lots. And we still had to walk like a half-mile to the venue. The Constellation Room is part of the Observatory, which was also hosting another band in a separate room at the same time. That explains the lack of parking, but why exactly is a venue booking more bands than it has parking for? Why don't they proactively reach out to their neighbor businesses and pay them (or have us pay them) to use their empty parking lots? It makes no sense. The Observatory looks pretty cool, but we only walked through it into the Constellation Room, which also looks very neat with the lights on. When we arrived, Buddy was right next to the door, and my sister was talking to Henri's girlfriend, who was manning the merch table in the back. I walked toward my sister and proceeded to fall flat on my stomach (I broke my fall with my hands, so I didn't hit my head). There's a single large step to get up onto the platform where the table is set up, but I couldn't see it even with the lights on, and there's no handrail. I didn't care at the time besides being embarrassed, but the following week, I had a some excruciatingly painful case of sciatica that lasted almost five days, and I'm still taking steroids for it. I don't know whether that fall caused the sciatica to flare up, but it couldn't have helped, and it's the only weird jarring-type of thing that I experienced a few days beforehand. The show itself was amazing. The sound quality is really good. I'm sure it helped that I was standing against the back wall. I think they allowed in more people than the official capacity, but I didn't have to worry about crowd churn where I was standing. It's always worth it to see and support my cousins, but this venue needs some serious nuts-and-bolts work. Parking is zero stars. Get more; don't encourage people to park illegally. Maybe spend less time on the glow tape and other nice details on the venue's interior signs and ripoff-price-drink menus and add some glow tape to the edge of that single stair. For the majority of the concert, the room was a sold four-and-a-half stars.

    Had a great experience at Twisted Tiki! The bartender was incredibly personable and made us feel…read morewelcome from the moment we sat down. I can't remember his name, but he mentioned he was from Virginia, and his friendly service really stood out. The tiki drinks were delicious and had a beautiful presentation--almost too pretty to drink! Their happy hour is a fantastic value, and we also tried the chicken skewers, which were very tasty. The tiki-themed decor is fun, colorful, and adds to the overall atmosphere. Between the great drinks, good food, and excellent service, we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend checking it out!

    This was my first time at Twisted Tiki, and I really wanted to like it because I love tiki bars…read more It's a fun little place, and we enjoyed the two drinks we ordered. They were both tasty. I ordered the Zombie, which was really good and came with a cool zombie hand. We also had a nice time talking with the bartenders. Unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't working that night, and it was really hot inside. We sat in the corner at the bar, and one of the bartenders was nice enough to turn the fan on the bar toward us. I appreciated the effort, but at that point it was basically just moving warm air around. We also ordered French fries, but they never came. We asked about them and were told the kitchen might be backed up. After we finished our drinks, we were ready to leave because of the heat, so we asked about the fries again. They went to check, but there still wasn't an answer as to when they'd arrive, so we canceled the order. I don't want to be too hard on the place because the drinks were good, the bartenders were friendly, and the broken AC may have just been an unfortunate situation that night. We actually went to Twisted Tiki because Mission Control wasn't quite what we remembered, so I'm not sure I would make a special trip just for Twisted Tiki based on this visit. That said, we're fans of tiki bars, so if we're in the area again, we'll definitely give it another try. Hopefully the AC is working and the French fries make it to the table next time!
