I booked my husbands surprise bday gathering here, Felecia was really nice and deff accommodating. We reserved bottle service and they allowing us to use another table so our guests could sit, we were only able to use it until customers came in and purchased it. She made sure to try to sell that section last so we would be able to use it. She also brought out a complimentary desert so we can sing happy birthday! The vibe was great and service too!

I definitely don’t understand why people have to low rate this club based on their own insecurity. I went last night(on Friday night), and the place was so cool, nice people, amazing music, and somewhat good drinks. I was welcomed from the moment I arrived at the valet to the moment I walked in at the bar. I’m NOT on my 40s, I’m actually in my 20s and I know exactly how to have fun, independently on the crowd I’m surrounded by. So, yes, the place is fun if you are fun. Now, if you are not confident on your own skin, and get intimidated by presentable people, this place is not for you.

Worst club of my life. Over rated and they are so boring and pretended to be fun. But if anyone shows Personality they frown upon it. Don’t ever go there

A place to waste your time and money. Nice atmosphere, however this establishment hates fun people. The security doesn’t have a sense of character; they let people wait in line when there is an empty bar inside to be pretentious; give everyone a cover charge. They can suck it. You have to have a flat personality to be accepted in this establishment. Why do they hire these clown security workers? Let people have fun. Not kick them out for having a kick ass time

The worst Saturday night in my life, untrained and impolite staff A personal conversation for 30 minutes between bar tenders in front of guests Not recommended for all ages

Great ambience, décor, service, and music! The DJ got great music to move your body. It’s going to be a fun night to shake it off!

I must have gone on a good night because I had a blast! I prefer going to LA, I’m more of a city gal, and OC generally sucks when it comes to good places. But decided to stay local and check this place out last night, despite the bad reviews. Valet is free so that’s a plus. Went with 2 gfs around 10, the place was busy and no line. the bouncers were nice. The dj was SO good! I guess he’s just there Saturday’s. A great mix of new stuff and old school. Definitely upscale and dressy. There’s no dance floor but people just dance in front of the Dj, and despite it being busy there was enough room to dance! The music wasn’t super loud so able to still hear each other. Overall had a great time! Definitely will come back.

GREATBAR… SILLYPRICES(On some drinks) A wonderful bar, good bartenders… careful, some drinks can be steep. Extreme case: Jonny Walker Blue — single neat: $ 91 including tax. Double the normal price — avoid that one! Otherwise enjoy the ambiance, they have great valet parking, it’s a very nice place to hang out. I hear they are normalizing prices a bit, fingers crossed, go and enjoy.

They certainly try to come across as a cool and happening place, but are far from it. Tip #1, Valet is free! eventhough they really don’t like you know that Tip #2, feel free to sit on so called«reserved $ 500 booths». We didn’t, however many others did with no problem. Tip #3 They start charging $ 20 cover at around 9:30−10 pm so get there a little earlier and beat them at their own game. All together, MEH

there is some seriously shady stuff going on in this place! If you’re looking to connect with a great hooker or maybe need some variety of a controlled substance this is the place. We were there celebrating my sister-in-laws’ birthday. Most of us found the humor of what was taking place in this establishment. It was all good until some joker started in with my wife. When I confronted him, he didn’t want to have a conversation, instead he decided to punch me in the face. The security was less than helpful. Just for the record — this d bag is about 6’1, 260lbs & hits like a sissy!

This Saturday my date & I decided to try something new, having heard many positive things about Island Hotel we decided to give it a chance. Upon arrival we were greeted by their very polite & professional employees security & hotel staff.(Special thanks to Josh, Adan, Patty, Will & Brandon for making us feel very welcome). Dinner by fireside was excellent thanks to their speedy service & delicious food.

$ 120 for 10 shots. No thanks. We were a group of 10 late 20s-early 30s girls… and this bar is CLEARLY for the 40+ and plastic crowd. Y’know the type. The ones who aren’t comfortable in their own skin, who stand around staring at you, judging you from head to toe, smirking at the way someone was wearing Toms with a dress — GODFORBID. We took our shot and left. Thanks for the 10 minutes«Real Housewives of OC».

A cool place with nice ambiance. I liked the open layout and the décor; it’s definitely a classy joint. I came during happy hour and drinks were half off but still quite expensive. Husband got a bloody Mary for $ 11, which isn’t bad — but that means the regular price presumably is $ 22. I got a virgin bloody Mary and it was $ 10, which I find to be a bit excessive. Come now, really? $ 10 for a virgin drink? That being said, it was damn good. It was extremely spicy and salty, which was just what I needed. We ordered a flatbread which was also really good. Thin, crispy, good ingredients. Overall, I’m glad I came because it’s a neat place, but probably a bit overpriced for what it is.

The hottest place in Newport Beach located in a hotel lobby with excellent amazing views to the street on the south side and to the bathrooms in the other. The treatment at the door it’s the best in town with two Mexican guys treating you like a piece of garbage making you feel like you don’t belong in this hi-end place filled with plastic surgeons and all their clients. But wait that’s not all! Tables are $ 500 and you get in by reservation only, this place is happening from 10 to 12 and 12:30 you are going home because they close the bar. Amazing, it’s the best!!! I guess that when you don’t have anything hot around you get forced to lower your standards. Newport Beach deserves better than this. Security guys at the door are very rude and around this area you can’t treat people like if you are in the ghetto.

This place is very nice and fancy. I would say this place is for a wealthy people cause there is a $ 500 dollar table minimum. The prices are fair i guess, thats if i am comparing them to a club. I might come back if i come with my not so stingy friends.

This is located at the Island Hotel, which is across the street from the Neiman Marcus side of Fashion Island. The place can be spotted by the blueish bar in the middle where all the alcohol is located. There is an inside section as well as a small patio area outside. My friends and I went during happy hour, which I believe is from 3 – 6 everyday, and items are 50% off. It was pretty empty when we went, and we decided to sit outside. I had the Newport Sunset and tried a variety of their appetizers. The Newport Sunset was interesting, but it didn’t really stand out for me. We also had the fried spuds, some sort of flatbread, and short rib beignets. The fried spuds were just french fries with what tasted like truffle oil and parmesan, and it was just okay. I liked the short rib beignets best, there was an interesting flavor and texture that was surprised between the crunchy outside, and the meaty inside of the balls. The horseradish sauce on the outside gave wrapped the whole appetizer up well. The flatbread just tasted like a mediocre pizza for me.

My friends and I went to Aqua Lounge on Valentine’s Day. We wanted to go somewhere where there wasn’t a line or waiting for food and ended up I. Aqua Lounge. All the seating areas were reserved but we were lucky to be able to sit in one of the booth before the next reservations came. Obviously I don’t have any high expectations for the food since we were at a lounge, but it really wasn’t good. It was either too salty, stale, or undercooked. However, people watching was fun and the music was nice. All my friends and I don’t drink but the bar area looks pretty cool. If you don’t mind the smell of smoking, go outside to the bonfire area. It’s really nice sitting near the fire on a cold night.
