I was very sad to see this place closed. I loved coming here with my friend. I hate covid!!
Club lines can average 20 min unless you decide to pay for bottle service. Bottle service is pricey but if you are meeting a large group pitch in a get bottle service. Worth the price, you avoid bar lines. Excellent current and old school Hip hop music is what the DJ spins. The music will get you up on your feet and dancing sooner or later. Every employee seemed friendly and eager to help. Excellent customer service. Great spot to meet up with friends or just come to meet people.
Really enjoyed this place. The venue is gorgeous and I love the outside patio. The music is aaaaamaaaazing, I just wish there was a dance floor somewhere.
After taking forever to bring my food out, it was cold. So they brought another plate but forgot my fork. Finally get the fork, and its cold again. The bartender was also slow even though it wasnt even busy. However, the show and the DJ are amazing.
The ambiance was quite nice, the service was good, but the food was mediocre. I was surprised at the larger portion sizes at a rather upscale restaurant, but it was quantity over quality.
Patio chained closed, notice from Orange County Sheriff posted, Realtor posted that entire space for lease. This location is closed for Good.
Friendly staff, and Great drinks! place has a nice vibe to it
The place offers an awesome range of delicious food. I loved eating here. Employees are always super friendly, rates are reasonable and the place is always neat.
Just recently closed. Had many good times here but sadly no more
Had a wonderful time at Local Edition after a day of exploring the city. We lucked out with a big band playing on the night we went. Drinks were great and the bartenders a friendly, fast, and make excellent drinks.
My friends and I went here and they sat us in a place where we cant see anything, the show took and hour and half to start. The food was good but really small and not worth it and theres add on for the other food. My friend had shrimp it was 6$ and she got 3 pieces! The show was really good but there were phones in the way the whole time so we couldnt see anything. Would only come back if we have better seats, the staff however was excellent! Amazing management.
Came here with some girlfriends and the place cool and has a DJ playing music. Recommend this place if your looking for drinks and music.
Went with a group of friends to Drag Brunch. We had a great time and the food was good also. Bring your dollar bills.
Im not a huge fan of Rupauls Drag Race(think its just ok), came in here with low expectations, but had a great time. Much funnier than expected, entertaining, good crowd. Even an 88 year-old celebrating her birthday! Walked around a bit later, enjoyed the funky neighborhood and incredible vintage clothing market nearby. Will be back!
My friends and I went for a birthday celebration on Fathers Day for the brunch show. It was so much fun! The performers were awesome. I think I found heaven the combination of men, makeup, music, dancing, liquor, food, and friends just might be the definition of heaven. Go have a great time! I was sore the next day from dancing so much at this show.
Great food, staff and drinks
I absolutely love this place!!! I came here some weeks ago with my husband!!! And let me tell you the young lady (the host) was sweet and charming!! The bar tender (although a little full of himself) was well informed and made me a delicious pink drink, I cant remember what its called but all the staff seem to recommend it. My waiter was a young man, he explained the menu (I got the pork chop and my husband the stake) he was very attentive and so was the rest of the staff. I almost love the show. I was so blown away with how small the stage is but how big the show is!!! I had a wonderful time and I cant wait to come again!!!!
Nice people. Great drinks. Good entertainment indoors; outdoor patio to enjoy a Bloody Mary thats a meal. Very pleasant Sunday afternoon stop. Felt welcome and comfortable. Would like to go back to enjoy the entertainment, dressed a little less casually, out of respect for the performers.
They played good music, however there are a lot of “kids” here (young 20 somethings) that can’t handle their alcohol. I saw 2 people Carried out by security within 5 minutes of walking in. Definitely not the type of crowd that goes to places like WeHo.
If I could I’d rate this place 1,000,00 stars. Such an awesome place!
Security guards have No life, I pay to get in, I dance have a good time because Im a pro dancer, the security guard follows the person i was dancing w to bathroom, talks ish about me. R u kidding me ?? I feel like the other security r instigating as well,Not Pro at All,If u dont like ur job go work somewhere else. Im cool w Zack Moos the owner, Zack is a cool dude he knows me really well, but the security sucks, n the Manager needs to really check on this. N the second time I go there Im Banned for what ??????. Theres Cameras ther, check the cameras, maybe they dont wana make it a dance atmosphere, thats y it sucks now
Tip the staff BIG cause the owner isn’t paying them!!!
Enough space to dance with ya crew of friends, drinks are a bit pricy but not too too bad, DJ and music was jumpin. Crowd seemed 3 girls to 1 guy... Not a bad thing if you like girls. But I like dudes, so eh. Super friendly nonetheless.
Went with a group of friends to Drag Brunch. We had a great time and the food was good also. Bring your dollar bills.
Pretty small but cool space. Went there for a drag brunch fund raiser. The food was decent portions a little light but the mimosas were flowing!
I am only giving it two stars because the atmosphere is fun and the people you will meet here will probably make your night. Most of the staff are friendly, but if you have the displeasure of meeting management, well you will understand why I am giving this place 2 stars. It is a mystery how the staff can be more courteous than the management. Go figure. Expensive drinks, sub par food, but great shows, and a great environment to have a good time.
I attending a fund raiser last night. I had the best time. Sorry more people didnt attend, but it is their loss for not attending. The ladies that performed donated their time to this fund raiser. But besides all that, The bar tender was really nice. We went ahead and sat at a table before they actually were set up. The cover charge was only $6.00 which was all donated. Because I was in the dining area early they werent going to charge me the cover charge, but for the purpose I insisted. Our Waiter was very attentive. Food was great. I now want to go on a week end to enjoy the brunch and entertainment. I would for sure go again.
This is a place where I would celebrate any occasion. Birthday, divorce, anniversary, new job, lost job, need a drink, unbirthday, relationship status, and I can go on and on.
Had a great time with daughter and friends. Food was late being served because kitchen was backed up but order was correct and delicious. Mimosas were plentiful and often. Great show. Would do this again in a heartbeat
Drag brunch was incredible. Food was amazing. Show was so much fun.
They do not pay their staff. Avoid
Came here to have a great time with my friends. My friend ordered a drink, the bartender gave the wrong drink so my friend told him. All of the sudden management was called, we were kicked out as if we did something wrong. They didn’t even let us talk.We are still in shock:/ so wrong!
Love coming here! Gay friendly, great crowd, great music! But the, patio DJ Ion needs to play inside!! That guy is good! Type of sound and music this place needs :) better than the Dj inside
Yummy, very friendly,drinks and food were above average. The location, caters to the work force.The people are very congenial .I highly recommend this fun spot!Traveling from Idyllwild CA, to Long Beach, for business. I was welcomed warmly.Bravo, Stephen Whitcomb US NavyRetired.
I LOVE THIS SPOT BEEN COMING SINCE IT OPENED. STAFF IS GREAT, MUSIC ALWAYS UPBEAT, CROWD IS GREAT. WHEN EVER I WANNA GET AWAY THIS MY SPOT. LOVE IT HERE.
THE GREATEST PLACE EVER...THANKS TO VINNNY!!!
Decent place to blow off some steam after work. Decent Happy Hour. Nice patio to relax and enjoy the eye candy walking in. Love Taco Tuesday. Trying to make this my place to come on a regular basis. Worth giving it a shot. Not many choices in O.C.
This place is so great! They always have something fun going on. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. I always look forward to going there and I always have a good time. Im so happy to have this place in Santa Ana.
An honest attempt at a quality place for the gay crowd, with a good kitchen and menu and interesting drinks. Really impressive light and sound system, for some good dancing. However, if you can, bring cash. They tend to get a little fishy when it comes to credit card discrepancies.
The club is actually a great venue and even classy in an old town sort of way. If you go to have fun you probably will. ONE CAVEAT LECTOR if you have to interface with management (not the waiters), well, thats where the capricious nature of this club surfaces. Unfriendly, management keeps this club from being truly five star.
Great old fashioned drink, chill environment and friendly staff.
Best shows ever!!! The choreography, the costumes and the talented performers are AMAZING!Rusty Waters, the hostess makes everyone feel welcomed and special!!!! We truly enjoy every minute we spend there!
Great beers tons of ants, this was at the bar tho. Great dance floor free?
Very entertaining and unexpected. Food is great for a gay bar. Take friends the more the merrier!
MUST AVOID UNLESS YOU WANT FOOD POISONING AND RUINED CLOTHING! I have never seen such poor service in my life. My girlfriend and I visited the Velvet Lounge for the Drag Show through which we purchased on Groupon to find out you will still be responsible for a service charge on top of the Groupon which is about $24 for two people in addition to the $50-$60 Groupon. Fine, I can live with that.But then during the show they have bubbles shoot out that stained my expensive dress shirt. In addition, both my girlfriend and I ended up getting horrible food poisoning that we know for a fact came from this location as it was the only meal we had together around that time. I contacted management and what a joke they are. They claim to apologize by saying they will cover the dry cleaning cost if I go take it somewhere and then send them the receipt, but then with the food poisoning because no one else got sick they claim there is nothing they can do although even our doctor pinpointed us into the fact that their food got us sick.I would avoid at all costs unless you feel like having your clothes ruined and being sick the next day.
Fun nightclub, but its more that just that! They do drag brunches, karaoke nights, taco Tuesdays, and standup. Im sure theres more but thats all I can think of off the top of my head.
I love this place. Finally a gay bar near my house. Everyone is so friendly.
Went here on Sat. (5/14) and the show was A-MA-ZING!!!! The costumes, props, performers... everything!! Ordered a Groupon, called to book - super easy! When we arrived, we simply checked in with the hostess and that was it!Plenty of menu choices, even if you dont pay for any upgrades. Country fried pork chop was good; mashed potatoes yummy. Mixed veggies were a little cold by the time food arrived, but still good. Food took awhile to come out but our server was very attentive and routinely came to our table to check on us.One of the best shows Ive seen. Cinematic... Famous movies! Mary Poppins... Moulin Rouge.. Snow White... Hairspray... Hello Dolly... It was non-stop. And the comedic hostesses - love them & their raunchy humor! Great for all types as long as youre not easily offended. Mixed crowd...Gay, straight, single, married, young, old...Small intimate venue. Went to the later show and hung around for the club after. Great music and nice patio space to get some air when the dance floor gets hot.
Our entire party was laughing and enjoying themselves! Great night out. Would recommend!!!!
The service is disappointing, it has an okay vibe, but the bartenders are rude.. Im never visiting this place again. On my last visit i was given the wrong drink, i offered to pay for it [just so the bartender wouldnt have to deal with that] but at a cheaper price.. and he created a HUGE loud scene where he involved other costumers, he gave the drink On the house and offered to give two more free beers just to put me on blast and humiliated me in front of the whole bar area, calling me a low baller and other stuff i didnt stay to hear. This review sums up three visits. I dont recommend this place. Dont waste your time or money here. They dont care about good costumer service.
Place DOESNT OPEN until 9:30 PM......Every night its open.
Great show, love the food .went there for my birthday..had a blast!!!
Fun time, just know the shows are a tad high priced
Good food, friendly and efficient wait staff, AMAZING dinner show.
This is one of my favorite places, and I go to the dinner shows as often as I can. The shows are professionally produced and choreographed, with spectacular numbers, lots of glitz and glamour and beautiful Drag Queens. Its fun, funny, campy, and all kinds of eye candy!The pre-show hostess, Miss Rusty Waters, is fabulous! She greets everyone, will take pictures with anyone who asks, and makes us feel welcome and ready for fun! It would be great to see her do more numbers in the show! I love her Champagne Taste rendition!Shannel, the hostess, along with Big Dee, Dani Kay and Pandora Mystere, are gorgeous, jaw-dropping, uber-talented entertainers. And, the show would not be complete without the dancers, Michael and Zachary!Come have dinner and see the show. Youll be glad you did.
I am a huge fan of Rupauls Drag Race and was excited to see that there is Livingsocial deal that popped up that included two of my favorite things- BRUNCH, and a of course a live Drag Show!I gathered up a couple of my girlfriends and venture towards the OC..(one of them even came all the way from Santa Monica just for this event! ) So we were really looking forward to an excellent show!Much to our dismay, we had the 1pm show and apparently they had poor time management and the Drag show literally dragged on for an extra 40 minutes!! We had a group of HOT and bothered HANGRY ladies outside!When we finally got seated we were seated parallel to the stage and completely blocked off by a huge DJ tower( DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DJ NEEDS TO BE HELD UP ON A PEDESTAL? Couldnt they put her in the back and give more view space?) SO instead of watching the performers, half the time we were ducking our heads or just watched it from the television they had plastered on the walls. If i wanted to watch it on TV, i wouldnt have drove 40 minutes and spent $7 on parking just to get here!!!Food was not terrible, it was buffet style with a make your own pasta/omelets stations. Unlimited mimosas were offered as the servers would run back and forth to fill your cups..unfortunately there were a couple of times i wish our server would pay a bit more attention to us as he kept forgetting to fill our cups !We were also very lucky enough to experience a broken AC vent so that added to a natural disaster! HOt summery day, in a hot room of 50 people!!Regardless of my endless vent, I truly believe that the host did an excellent job..her jokes woke me up from falling asleep from the lip-syncs..not to mentioned her her amazing eye contact it was just worthy of a standing O!Management should probably look into fixing some of these situations, because had I pay $35, i would of scream and shout for my money back!
Too many drag shows. seems they are more focused on pleasing the desperate housewifes of south oc than its original crowd. dont open a tab. they will stiff you. if you are going to eat... dont expect good service. waiters will never refill your drinks and are not attentive. food was better before they switched cheffs. taco tuesday was nice untill they removed the sneeze guard from their condiment bar and no longer have perishables in ice.
Been coming here for a little over a year.. I have no complaints
*********This place is so disgusting management is horrible,restrooms are filthy, and to top it off I saw roaches at the bar .. I would definitely not recommend this place unless you want to get sick *******
Everything . The bartenders were extremely nice and courteous.
Agressive, homophobic security. My friends and I were shocked by their rude & threatening attitude. Would never go back. Avoid!!
Great drinks
Pricey, and Ive heard of ppls drinks being tampered with, good music and dancing though.
Love the environment
Check your bill.
Fun Drag show
Had the worst time of my life omg this place has no good service i had to pay for a drink that i did not want and the drink that i had was horrible if they had negative stars i give your services a -5☆☆☆☆
. This place is a great place to Dance
Never jad one
Love it!
My favorite night is Taco Tuesdays with karaoke after.
