Cool dance venue in Huntington Beach. Not as spacious as a typical club like in Vegas or Times Newport, but it's a dope spot in that area to hang out and drink. Sometimes the floor can be a bit sticky because people be spilling alcohol. The vibe, state of the art sound and visuals, and the outside patio are reasons why I like this spot. Theres also an upstairs too with another bar. Sometimes, they be giving out free champagne. Reserving a table is affordable and it comes with a complimentary bottle. I'll be ordering a couple Tequila Sunrise on the side to keep the party going. On that buzzed night, we saw Yultron and Red E or Knot, both who are popular EDM djs. I'm not much of an EDM listener, but they played Miss the Rage remix song which was lit and fun. At the end of the night, make sure to UBER home alright! read more

Inqusitive is hosting today at this club the production organizer Ham Choi was not honest about the tickets. Me and my friends bought tickets cause it was 18 plus and than on the app it changed to 21 plus after a couple of weeks. There contact method sucks and not truthful. read more

Too hot inside & smells too awful. Fairly dirty & unsafe feel to come off. Small dance floor to have with low value. Didn't offer free water, which was a huge down. read more

Christopher Lawerence was everything tonight! I never got bored of his music and he played for 2 hours! Danced the whole time, great light show. I wore earplugs but they did not protect my ears as much as they should have. My hearing was a bit muffled when I got out. We got a table and it was the best one in the house! Christopher was so engaging and we all had such a good time!!! The staff at the club was great as well from the security to bottle service. The places had great decor and lighting. The only thing missing was cushions for the hanging chairs outside. read more

My favorite place to be every weekend! The best vibes. Management and security are thes best especially "phantom security!" I feel safe when they are working on a daily night! They have late food appetizers at a good price and affordable. read more

My favorite dancing spot in Orange County for house music. Always room to dance and great sound system. They bring in some old school DJs so there are some great events for an older crowd. Great outside area, I wish the fire pits worked. Overall a great alternative to driving to LA. I will not go to the Observatory or to Time nightclub they are awful. This is my go to. read more

It's alright. Came here for an event recently, the bouncer was super strict about coming in and out which isn't unusual but made my life a whole lot harder when I just needed to put my sweater down, haha. Also, you can't sit on the couch in the entryway. It's a bit barebones, but the patio is nice as an escape from the noise. Small club, with two rave areas. I had simple drink. Not much fancy here, but that might have been because of the event. read more

Been coming here for a year now once in a while to rave when they throw the right events I came for techno night and was sober the music was good and danced from 9-12. When some girls hair flew into my nose and I gagged and threw up into the trash can. One of the chill bouncers asked if I was good and I gave him a thumbs up but was disappointed that the other security ended my night so quickly and told me I had to leave for the night. When I explained what happened outside at least they gave me some water "so the alcohol would absorb quickly" ? The tall bouncer quickly remarked and went back inside. I made no further argument and promptly left still had a great night next time but why not ask questions I didn't cause a disturbance just had an accident I paid extra for an expedited ticket too and was planning to stay the whole night. read more

This review is about their sound, lighting, and atmosphere. Been here multiple times for techno/electronic music events and I wish they did better with the production quality. If you truly want to experience techno, you should be going to LA and attend a warehouse rave but if this all you got, it's an extremely reduced quality of what techno and other genres of electronic music can be. The lighting/atmosphere is boring. They have a giant LED screen on the back and some basic lights which rarely creates an immersive experience. No fog or anything fancy because they probably installed everything a long time ago and never considered upgrading or adding better equipment. The sound quality is "okay" but you're never going to experience the power of bass that techno music demands. read more

Well what could be improved about the circle id say all the above. I went on a Saturday last month. I walked to the gate and the guy thought I was drinking I have a disability which I was ok with I mean not everyone is going to catch on to that then as I was inside the place was practically empty no one was really dancing I mean I think I've seen more people dancing at a funeral than this place. As I'm walking around the place exploring the club I have some kids(this was a 21+ up night) make fun of my disability to my face. Now I think the venue is nice but this atmosphere sucks I mean the very first time I go to your club on a Saturday I get roasted by the bouncer and bullied by some broccoli haired boys I mean just childish stuff not a club to spend your money in if you want to meet nice people and actually have a fun night read more

Orange County's #1 club and dance spot! A total vibe; very professionally run and a spacious dynamic party floor with endless drink and food combos. Basement level is amazing and fully dimensional. DJ's are god tier, and the staff operates like a well oiled machine. Highly recommended! read more

Honestly really terrible venue. We went on 1/25 and the show was completely oversold, there was nowhere to go, even the patio was packed. We were literally just standing there packed in like sardines. This has to be a fire hazard! We ended up standing in the back by the bar, stage completely blocked by the huge room/wall and we could barely even hear the music from back there. I won't be coming back to this venue for any artist which sucks because I had been looking forward to the show. read more

Had a great time. They know how to put on a show. The place is big enough & well ventilated with a big dance floor. Great memories! read more

The Circle - Hope giving bottle service, awesome! - Music Venues Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Worst club experience, ever. I went yesterday for Lil Texas' show & did not have fun. The security is so unorganized, rude & unprofessional. I went to the restroom, the venue had only been open for 30min-1hr, and there was a girl black out drunk on the restroom floor. The security guards were trying to drag her out by pulling her up by her forearms and dangling her. The venue is so small & shitty. Save your time and go to a club in hollywood or an afters! It's so small we tried to get a spot in the middle and security moved us became it was a "pathway " in the middle of the dance floor.. shitty af. read more

Worst venue ever while showing my ticket on my phone security scrolled my pictures on their own Place is small and dingy at best rather go to an afters @djisaac you can do better !!!! read more

I've been here in the past like years ago and it was a vibe downstairs but ever since this place has gone a bit downhill to say the least.. When my gf and I first got here earlier there was a chick in the restroom that was head in the toilet.. it wasn't even 10:30 yet. Mind you no one asked her to leave - the next two times we visited the restroom she was there. Her friends were leaving her in there and just coming back to check on her. Sounds like a case waiting to happen. Knowingly having under 21 year olds wasted sick in your restroom- yikes. It is more like a place for 18-20 year olds to rave - it's over priced a f. I bought one corona and it was $10. Lol not a vibe.. All the other shit I can deal with but this is why I decided to write this review... This place also charges $9.75 for a bottle of water. Has no water fountain and doesn't give out glasses of water. This place will however will give you a cup of ice. Someone tell me how this makes sense? I'm not a cheap ass I'll buy a water for $10.. but my point is you have 18 year olds running around wasted and you don't have any public water fountain or even offer glasses of water. - speaking of the bathroom there was one toilet not working one girl passed out with her head on the other and the last one the seat was sliding off-- One mixed drink is $22. Like why? Plus- Lasers are nice but the strobes are a bit much to say the least. AC is cool which is always nice but hot bathrooms... Downstairs has been closed for a long while. read more

The Circle - Bartenders offering ice but no water. Makes no sense- just saying y'all - Music Venues Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

--LOCATION-- in a plaza, pretty conveniently located near the freeway, off Warner. --PARKING-- parking lot, huzzah! --EXPERIENCE-- so I got tickets for Space Yacht and had to get in by 10:30 PM per my ticket requirements. I made it in barely on time. My friends were a little behind/late and still got in. Can't be mad about that. There is an outdoor area with fire! This was nice since its November and it is a chilly night. Inside is very air-conditioned which is great if you're going ham. Speakers were loud; I guess that's to be expected. Drinks were fine to me. Water bottles were the pH bottles and big, so I like that. Water is neeeeeded. Staff were roaming around picking up trash and stuff, so I really appreciate that. My one major thing was that the bathrooms only had like 3 stalls. If there's a way to ever expand... kiiiiindaaa need more stalls pleaseeee. Otherwise it seemed clean and well kept. Maybe I just had a really good night, but I wasn't mad about it. I had a good experience basically. And, I mean, you can't beat a parking lot LOL Always a win. read more

Spent 15$ for a un-refundable event ticket with a clearly loose dress code of "costume or casual" but was denied entry at the front due to wearing open toed shoes. Nowhere on the event ticket or website does it say any rules about shoes. Bouncers were completely unforgiving and rude when i asked about the rule, zero hospitality all business. This was the last time this specific event was playing, and having spent 30$ on Ubers going there and back i will not be returning to this club. 0/10 I have been to many festivals in these same shoes this place is lame. read more

I was here last Saturday with some friends from college and we had the best time. Security was amazing and the bartender, Hope, made the best tequila sunrises. Definitely try the 1942 shots as well, Hope got us hooked! read more

I really couldn't be sure what to expect when I was first rolling up to The Circle. In fact, I was thinking I may very well have been walking into a total let down. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Delta Heavy decided to play here last night, and I knew I couldn't miss out on the absolute legend at a smaller venue. "When will an opportunity like this roll around again?" I thought to myself. He shook the entire universe with his set, and it was the venue itself that made the entire experience that much better. The smaller venue may not seem as inviting as a massive, but no matter where you are on the first floor, you feel like you are front and center with the entertainer. Whether it be from the raised VIP seating area, or from the ground floor right in front of the stage, the owners have tailored the experience to be top notch! I was so engrossed by the positive energy and exuberant spectacle, I totally forgot to take some good pictures--and I don't regret a thing! If you're on the fence about this place, just go. The service, ambiance, and demographic are all more than favorable. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for the local EDM shows for a couple years now it never disappoints. The venue is set up nicely with a main floor and a lower room, both have bars. The sound is great and the lights/lasers are high quality. The staff there adds to the experience as well. There's Alyssa working the floor, Rachel at the bar, and then the security guys: Carlos, Dallas, and Gunner. Big shoutout to Carlos. Last time I was there I misplaced my flannel and at the end of the night I was was looking for it as they were getting people out the door. Carlos was nice enough to take a second look for me, found it, and made sure I left with all my things. Excellent customer service to everyone there. read more

Great club in Orange County if you like EDM. If you're looking for a place with great music dance music & an outdoor area with fire pits. You'll love it. They even have great visuals & lights. Parking is super easy. When I've ordered food here it's been great. OC techno fans, if you want to experience good techno music without the hassle of going to LA, Techno Tuesday is where it's at. So far all the employees I've met have been so kind as well. They keep the club super clean too! The bathrooms are never gross! Lots of great vibes at this club! read more

Event Anime rave Dress code: doesn't matter, people wearing shorts, dress, skirts, pants, running shoes, did not see a jersey but most like good to go. Security: patted down, did check for shoes not being open toed Had vendors inside, weird because should never see that Upstairs and downstairs bar and so area Parking: very small, of it's big event get there decently early. We encountered a fucked up person after the event who tried to get into our car. Would be good to have patrol cars. Downstairs doesn't have the best air, so if it's musty it stays musty Mixed drinks are expensive, stick to beers or seltzers Also sell food, did not try Overall vibes were alright, definitely more of a club then rave read more

I absolutely love this place! I used to be against going to night clubs because of the crowds, aggressive atmosphere, and over priced drinks but my friend took me to the Circle for the first time a few months ago and I had a blast! The venue is really cool despite being on the smaller side and the lines at the bar are short which I like very much haha. My favorite part though is how well the staff take care of their patrons. As a former bartender in orange county (at the copper door bar in Santa ana) I can say with confidence that The Circle has phenomenal customer service. Shout out to my girl Leah for making every bottle service experience the best one I've ever had and Brian at the bar for always taking care of me. You guys are the best! Thanks for having me read more

The Circle - This is the place to go for dub step shows! - Music Venues Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Went this pass weekend and was surprised with how spacious it was.The events that weekend were EDM which the DJ's put on great performances. The transition into the venue was smooth and security was on point and helpful. Bartender knew their drinks and were efficient. It has two different rooms if need to host two different events. They do have food but I didn't try it. If you ever in the area go check it out one night. Big Thanks to Carlos and the staff for being a great host definitely will come back. read more

Stay away unless you want your stuff stolen. Fiancé had her phone stolen out of her purse while she was wearing it. Security didn't give a shit, and 5 other girls had their phones stolen as well. After calling the police, the very kind and understanding officer said they come here almost every single night for reports of stolen phones and purses. If you're interested in having your most important items stolen then this is the place for you read more

I can't help but think The Circle is like the Pure Nightclub of Huntington Beach (Sunnyvale, CA residents know what the hell I'm talking about) given its random existence in the middle of a suburban area. Except it's not even a club and it's actually an event venue. Regardless, my point still stands because both places are definitely EDM venues. Some thoughts: 1. There's a lot of space both on the floor and on the right side raised level and plenty of AC. But if it gets full? Eesh. 2. Sound system is whatever. 3. There's only one bar in the back. Not really a problem when it's not at capacity, but when it is? Yeah, that's an issue. 4. Because of its location in a run-of-the-mill strip mall, there's free parking right next to the venue. Odd, I know. Overall, it's not the best but it certainly doesn't suck. As long as tickets are cheap and they bring good acts, I'm cool with the venue. read more

Sick venue with sick artists! I've been to a few shows here when insomniac took over, but lately I've been going to a lot of Dubstep shows with Wasted Presents lately (who's a headbanger?) I mention that because there's a lot of different groups who throw events at this venue each night. The staff here are super chill and serves you quickkk. When we feel like getting lit lit -- Leah always got us!! Shoutout to Leah with the exceptional table service! Ask for her! When we're just trying to chill and get a lil drunk -- Brian and Brandon always got us on drinks with their quickness! Overall, I've never had a bad time here. read more

Place is nice and fun. Though BEWARE of these bartenders!! They steal the tips from your credit card so make sure you check your credit charges the next day!! Last night, This Latina girl gave me 1/3 of actual shot literally! She charged 60$ for supposedly 3shots but she split one shot into three shots. This totally ruined our night. I really wish she gets fired asap. It's such a black eyes for such a fun place. read more

My sister had an expired ID and asked for money to let her in but let another person in for money to drink at 19. The drinks were $20 and service was horrible... there was no room to sit the security told us there was no where to sit even though I said I couldn't stand anymore they were rude about it when I said I couldn't stand feeling sick I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I asked for a manager and they asked what my problem was and couldn't help me out to sit anywhere. They also rushed me and my husband out after the club was closed and I said I was waiting on an Uber 10 minutes away. The guards were talking about sexist jokes about my sisters outfit and I talked to a manager and they said sorry I won't happen again doing nothing about it. They charged me $50 for tickets and the place was horrible to go to. I would go to any other place than here read more

Hands down the best Night club in Orange County this is where you want to be at! The Vibes / Music / Bartenders / Vip Service/ Laser effects they have it all! Every staff member at the Circle is very genuine on taking care of the people making sure you have the best experience there. I definitely recommend hitting the Vip service and split the cost amongst your friends totally worth it! The bottle and drinks are affordable compared to other places and you get your own spot as well. Ask for Leah she always takes great care of us and gives the best Vip bottle service! If you are looking to not go all out on vip service they have bartending areas definitely look for Brian he is the man! Thank you OC Circle for having me and my friends and giving us the best experience. read more
