Great bar, salsa nights are great. Dance floor is very well cared for.Low review for refusing to provide tap water, you have to buy bottled water. I'll buy a drink, don't sell me water. Hopefully there'll be a law about this one day.Staff is actually super nice, just poor choice of policies (imo)

Went there on a Friday and what a mistake. To start parking is a mess and not that safe. Entry fee is ridiculous just like the promoter. Got over charged for my drink and when i got back to my table drink was gone. Not even sure how they got this establishment as a business since there are no ADA parking stalls, ADA restrooms, Ada Seating at counter and drinking table not up to code. Still shady about their exit fire exit life safety requirements. Luckily, they do not sell food. Floor and sound system is good that's all but not worth their entry fee. Overpriced and shady location. Customers be ware, safety first.

Great Venue for watching bands play live. But they have no website so the promotion for shows is limited.

Went to see a friend's band. Did not eat, drink, or even use the bathroom. It was fun watching drunk people having fun! ?

We went for " the oc blues festival" but the sound was all baseline, could barely hear the lead guitar or vocals. Service at the bar was good, the bbq catering truck outside was good. But other than one band the music was more jazz than blues. We won't be going

if you book this place on a Saturday make sure you ask to be provided with a sound engeneer and not the black security guy because he doesn't know s h I t! he will only give you sound to 2 speakers and the sound is wack!

Came in with the band I promote and project-manage social media to do a show and they made me get out for not wanting to pay my entrance fee when I'm clearly part of the band. Once I go out the door, as my band is playing, security "recommends" I go grab a bite or drink in the meantime. So cheap and greedy! I had never worked a show with this venue and well, I don't think we will ever again! what a true disappointment As a meter of fact, I had NEVER worked with a venue this avaricious!

Two stages, reasonably sized room. Audio is challenging to mix, but the sound engineer does the best possible given the venue. Stages alternate, allowing them virtually zero changover time, adding 1-2 more bands per night over a typical venue, while still closing earlier.Problem here is the parking, it's virtually non-existent. Staff, bands plus crew, add fans, and maybe 15 parking spaces, no curbside even. You're left parking in an adjacent business and hoping you're not towed. Interesting venue, bad location for the amount of people they want to move through.

Ok...The good. Place is nice and has good sound equipment.The Bad. Watch your money when you pay, theres a crook collecting the entrance charge of ten dollars. I had a fifty, and suddenly I saw him shift the bill placing it under neath his stack of bills. as I waited for my change. He then handed me a ten dollar bill and acted stupid And I just looked at him and said, hey I gave you a fifty. Acting more stupid, he checked the bills and he said, oh yeah. Yeah my a&&. I guess he wanted to pocket 40 dollars from me. That was not going to happen. So watch your money as you go in if u go Lastly, the beer fkg expensive...8 dollars for for a bottle of beer...for about four dollars more, one would get a six pack. First and last time going there.
I've been to stages a few times now for their metal nights. The sound quality is nice and the venue is roomy. The bartenders are quick, crowd seems chill - nobody getting thrown out or anything like that. There are two spacious stages indoors and plenty of room to move around. They also have more tables than most venues I've ever been to. Never saw an issue with cleanliness here, and the women's restrooms are always well-kept. Parking is also extremely easy to find here - there is a large lot as well as ample street parking. I'm excited to see Metallifornia on July 22nd! Glad you guys keep hosting quality metal shows here.

Stages is the best place to get out and enjoy live music with 2 stages. You have a band playing most of the time. Gina, the owner and bartender, is the best can't get better service or a more friendly smile. Highly recommended

Stellar establishment, Needs food and Patio to complete the Venue ????
