I went on Tuesday at 8pm for a Salsa, Bachata, and Zouk night, they had a 12$ cover. Free water (uncommon, so thanks!) and average drink prices for a club. I took 1 salsa class and 1 bachata class, but zouk lessons were at the same time so I couldn't learn all 3 this time. I went as a single guy and during the lesson I danced with over 20 women which was great practice and I danced with a few of them after the lessons were over. I highly recommend this place on Tuesday nights for beginners and the lessons are a must! Birthday boy (I didn't know him) had a great time because they did what I think they call a "bachata steal circle" where all the ladies walked around him in a circle and took turns dancing bachata with him, stealing him away from another girl then repeat. I only hope my birthday turns out as awesome as his when I come back for this experience!

Review for NYE special event. I was not paid nor am I receiving any form of compensation to leave this review, and I paid my own way into the event. Honestly - the reviews scared me. I'm an almost 30 something going into an Irvine club on NYE known for things getting stolen, bouncers being weird, and expensive drinks. I had LOW expectations. However, my experience was quite the opposite! Arriving: It was raining when we arrived around 10:15pm, and there was no line to get in. Bouncers were kind and efficient. I do wish they searched bags though - I was not asked to open my bag, which was concerning because bad people tend to do bad things on holidays. Atmosphere: It's a dark and medium/small sized nightclub. They had it dressed up a hint for NYE, but it seemed pretty standard to how I've seen it in photos. They had an outdoor area, but there was no music and it was pouring rain. While there was a tent outside, it was just too wet to even go out. Bathrooms: There are two small restrooms with appx 4-5 stalls each. There is a very sweet bathroom attendant who provides hand towels. The restrooms were clean and mostly smelled good. Drinks: I bought the all you can drink package, and I was scared that they'd pour light / not have what I wanted / have a limited menu / be too busy and ignore me / etc. This was NOT my experience. The tenders poured well, the drinks tasted good, and there was a good selection. I was always taken care of quickly with waits of less than 5 minutes. Noted, I tipped well for each drink. TIP YOUR BARTENDERS! Music: Very top 40 with a little EDM sprinkled in. As a millennial, I enjoyed the mix. Yeah it was loud, it's a nightclub. Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. The bouncers even pulled out a guy who was literally falling over drunk onto other dancers. I thought they cared for the situation well and with grace. NYE Festivities: Honestly, there weren't many. The club looked a slight bit decorated, and the party favors that were promised with our ticket we're SO limited. Yes, they said while supplies last... but I swear they handed out less than 20 noise makers for the whole club. They also promised champagne showers throughout the night as well as a complimentary champagne toast for the whole club at midnight. Neither champagne option was followed through on. I was also promised two dance floors, and there was clearly only one available. Other things: Seems like there may be some deferred maintenance in the building. The roof was HELLA leaky near the bathroom. They used cones to block it off, but the floor was soaked. Overall, I had a nice time. I removed the star for the lack of follow through on the NYE specific things that were promised to me on my ticket that were not delivered. I also removed the star due to the roof leaking heavily. Other than that, I thought it was a safe, fun, and enjoyable way to spend NYE.
