I had the pleasure of venturing out FOCUS Tuesdays to catch friend, producer, Alex Kenji. and the venue was small and intimate, but the evening ROCKED. If you LOVE your house music, if you love music PERIOD. This is the place to catch some of the most incredible DJs/Producers, and they're past track sheet is much to be talked about. If you haven't been go -- and a special shout out to Josh Billings and Non-Fiction Jose for their incredible hospitality and the very cool I LOVE HOUSE MUSIC tshirts!!!! now that's LOVE right there!!!!! read more

Unprofessional and unorganized. Nothing but excuses for an error that was done on their part. Long story short, the website crashed for a brief period of time. Once it was back up, the site was reloaded with HTML and the link to purchase tickets changed without notifying anyone. If you had access to a computer and knew a thing or two about web development, you would have been able to access the html and discover the actual link. That said link was discovered and shared amongst others on Facebook while the rest of us who were stuck with phones or who don't have a Facebook account continued to refresh a page that would waste an hour of our time. Their tweet defended themselves saying that they never changed the link on anyone, but then on their Facebook post, they apologized stating that they overwrote the link after they brought the site back up. Not sure why they kept changing their story, but are you really going to give your business to a club that called its customers liars when they were called out on Twitter? I'm not upset that I wasn't able to buy tickets for a sold out show. I've been doing this electronic music thing for 10 years and sometimes it's just the way it goes, but it's another thing to mislead customers and waste their time and not be given a fair chance. Who knows? Maybe the correct link was shared amongst friends and people who work in the industry. It would appear that way, given some of these electronic music Twitter accounts made smug little comments about how they were able purchase tickets and how they sent the link to others. read more

After 14 years in Costa Mesa, Focus has moved to The Circle venue in Huntington Beach. Same great vibes, better venue. The Circle is rather large, has a semi-elevated upper level, an LED screen behind the DJ, 2 bars, and nicer bathrooms. It also has AC although it does still get hot with all the body heat. The dance floor extends out from the stage vertically so its a little harder to get close to the DJ but once you make your way to the front there is plenty of room. Focus books both big and small name DJs. They keep it affordable: you can sign up for guest list online which is either free or discounted, or purchase tickets which are usually around $10. This is a steal since you don't usually find clubs so inexpensive that bring such great talent. The club is 18+ and the crowd seems to skew toward the 18-23 range. Drink Specials before 10:30 are $2 Domestics, $3 Imports, and $4 well drinks. Dress code is super casual, no need to get dressed up. Just come and enjoy this club that is all about house music, good vibes, and run by 2 dudes who truly care about both. read more

So this is what they mean when they say the club is goin' up...on a Tuesday! This is an awesome weekly event to get your dance on for cheap. I got presale tickets for $5, although it can vary depending on the artists playing. The production and sound is very good! No dinky stages or sad speakers for you. Bring your earplugs. It was surprisingly crowded for a weekday, but it became clear why it was so popular...the music is a MOOD! It's only house music, so if you're not into that stay away. Just when you think it can't get any better, Circle is located in a plaza that has tons of parking that's f r e e. read more

FOCUS! Nonfiction and Josh Billings have been keeping this place going for almost 2 decades. The talent and the overall atmosphere of this Tuesday-only house music club keep it going strong, and it's only getting better than ever! The sound quality is amazing and the hearing loss is real, so bring some earplugs if you can. Drinks are somewhat overpriced, and they'll really give you a hard time if you want a glass of water (bottles only *eyeroll*) but other than that, always good times here! read more

This place is pretty awesome. My friends and I came here for Kaskade's special appearance last night and I wish I had heard about this place sooner. We got there around 10:30 pm and there was still parking left. Since this venue was small, they only sold tickets in advance to a limited number of people. I really liked how they regulated the area. To park in the parking lot you had to show your ticket. It definitely warded off any people trying to sneak in or park in the area to dine at the restaurants close by. We got inside pretty quick (I'd say within 5-10 min) and I really liked the layout of the place. By the entrance there is a lounge of couches where people could just sit down and chill, then there is the dance floor, pretty small sized but it was never suffocatingly packed like how Sutra gets. Then there is a pretty long bar and an outside patio that sells tacos for $1. I tried them and they were delicious! The bathrooms were okay. There were only two stalls for the ladies restroom and around 11-12 before Kaskade came on it was crowded and I probably had to wait about 10 minutes. However after that, there was no line. The only reason why I am giving this place four stars is because the bartender wouldn't give us cups of water. We had been purchasing drinks all night and he would only sell us bottled water $4 each. How hard is it to get some tap water? :( read more

Yay. A place that plays electronic music in the OC that isn't Sutra. Free before 10:30/$7 after with RSVP ($10 w/out). Drink specials before 10:30, but only opens at 9:30 so really only an hour of drink specials. Still cool music, cool vibe, and not the regular OC crowd. Outdoor patio and $1 tacos all night (although I've never tried them). O...18 and over, but I wasn't bothered by drunk youngins' read more

Focus Tuesday is basically my local dive bar where I go to visit all my friends. But, the venue is far from being dingy and dirty like a dive. I have had nights where I spent $0 on glist not drinking, and other nights when I ball outta control and spend over $100 on a bar tab buying everything they have to offer. I haven't had a bad time at this new location. The staff from Emily scanning my tickets, the security guy that reminds me of Carl Cox and the bathroom guy are the nicest. They recognize me every time I show up. Production, DJ line up and friend line up are all always on point. Much props to Billings, Non-Fiction and the crew for all the hard work they put in to make this the best spot to be on Tuesdays for all these years! read more

I need to chime in here because they got a lot of negative flack recently due to website overload from Kaskade ticket sales. Focus was able to book Kaskade due to a long time history with him. We are lucky that they were able to bring Kaskade to OC for a redux show. It's sad that not all of us will be able to attend, but that's the reality of it. We should be happy and supportive of a small-time local nightclub focuses on the MUSIC! We have a wonderful place to come, dance, and enjoy our Tuesday nights. How many nightclubs come and go? Let's support Focus so that we have a place to come and celebrate house music. Come to dance, have fun, and enjoy. Check your toxicity at the door. read more

All these people angry and giving low reviews was because they couldn't get tickets to an artist that used to play at focus before they even knew who he was. For kaskade to come back and pay respects to his roots mean that there is more to this place than the people who never been and only complaining about a site crash they overloaded. Focus has been a safe haven for 14 years. Catering to the house and tech heads. Josh has been true to the music and what the focus culture is all about. He has brought so many artists who have paved the way for house in Southern California and the rest of the world. So don't listen to these triggered sore losers. been a part of the focus community since its first year and If you are into house music, love to dance, and be a part of a something that's been bringing house music and culture to the Oc for 14+ years, this is the place to be. read more

BEST HOUSE MUSIC SPOT IN OC!!! Every Tuesday! HUGE thank you to Josh Billings. Every week is a amazing show! read more

Been a fan of Focus Tuesdays ever since I got into House Music a couple years ago, and started grooving it out with my friends. I started coming to this event when they were originally in Newport Beach. Always loved the music...however the crowds are a hit or miss depending on what you like to do when you're at events like this. I came to their new venue, The Circle in Huntington Beach, for the first time to see Billy Kenny's Extended Set 2017 hosted by Focus OC. In terms of parking, it wraps around the whole building, so if you are unable to find parking in the lots, be prepared to go zig-zag around for a while. The line we waited in was approximately 30 min (with tickets purchased). The actual venue was pretty interesting, the main bar is somewhat right by the entrance as soon as you walk in. The main stage was crowded and small. Forget that. But they had a second level that you take stairs towards that had a bar, and some wall seats that lined the wall and the back corner. Now that area was pretty nice, since there was a good amount of room to move around. They had a outside seating area where there were a couple selling Mexican food to attendees. Overall, the new venue is alright, looking forward to the new DJs that come through though! read more

Focus OC in HB is just as good and obviously better than before. Tuesdays are always my favorite day of the week thanks to y'all at FOCUS. Keep on playin and dancin! read more

Focus Tuesdays - This was clocking in with Billy Kenny - Dance Clubs Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

New location in Huntington Beach (as of August 1st, 2017) which is HUGE with many sections including a large outdoor patio; which is now for all ages (not just 21+ like at the old location). The patio also has comfy chairs, tables, & my favorite feature of the patio by far is fire pits. The patio is also quiet enough to have conversations in which is nice. The new HB location has 3 bars inside so there never is a long wait for alcohol. The bar downstairs as the shortest wait time. The bathrooms are super classy & clean (especially compared to the old location in Newport Beach). Security is super easygoing & some are pretty hilarious too. The music on Tuesdays at Focus is primarily EDM or house music. Josh Billings who usually DJ's at every Focus event also hosts Focus; so If you go, be sure to meet him because he's super cool. My favorite part about Focus by far is the drink specials they have from when doors open at 9pm to 10:30pm. For example, a Bud Light is just $4! After that a Bud Light goes up to $6 so be sure to hammer down your alcohol before 10:30pm! If you RSVP online before the event, you save a few bucks on entry. Also, the entry price increases after 10:30pm. Over all, Tuesday's at Focus are super fun & totally worth it. read more

i give kaskade 5-stars for sure!! this venue is shit. the bartenders were rude, drinks over priced and the so-called "full bar" wasnt full at all. NO WINE AVAILABLE and a shit ton of snarky attitude when asked.. "we serve more club-like drinks here" said the bitchy bartenders. majority of so cal clubs ive been to have had wine lol this is orange county, you better have some white wine at the very least! at least half of the speakers were blown out, smoke machine was excessive, people were lighting up cigarettes in the venue and security did nothing about it. stopped going to focus YEARS ago and was hoping to have a reason to come back. Nupe. read more

I can't believe a place like this exists right in my backyard! Back in the days of yore, we used to rent this venue for Greek events at UCI, and although it was small, we always managed to have a great time here. Fast forward to now, light years later. Focus OC manages to pull some deep/funky/disco house talent that just totally blows my mind. Miguel Migs, Dusky, Miguel Cambell to just mention the last few months. Absolutely sick. Add this amazing lineup of DJs to the fact that this venue is intimate, the sound system is well matched to the size, and it's never packed to the rafters. Parking is free, there is food served all evening, and the crowd is seriously amazing. I think I'd come here for that last reason alone. I am so sick of attending events where most of the folks there have no idea that there is actually a DJ spinning, and although I know this is a reality of the scene, I like to consider Focus a little oasis in a desert of douchebaggery. With Josh Billings spinning most Tuesdays, you're pretty much guaranteed a fantastic night. AND, the price is always right. Easy 5 stars here. read more

This club is the best deep house on Tuesday your ever gonna find. Ladies wear your Chuck Taylor's cause we gonna dance and sweat. No high heels. DANCE I SAID DANCE! They been doin it for over a decade!best club in OC Ever! read more

Came here last night for: Focus OC 10 Year Anniversary with Kaskade! It was awesome! By the far...the cheapest Kaskade tickets...by far I mean...$10 for a KASKADE SHOW??! -NO BRAINER- & Congrats to Mr. Josh Billings to having this wondering event and for going 10 years strong! Heres my review of last night: -The venue is small, but not everything small is considered bad right? Since it was small and wasn't too overpacked...the night/event was set up to be a very INTIMATE night. -Theres only one full bar here...with two mini-bars (I think?) outside in the patio. This venue also has great happy hour specials on drinks and food. Happy Hour yesterday ended at 10:30? But no worries...even without the happy hour...drinks are still pretty cheap! -TACO MAN...outside on the patio on Tuesdays! a majority of the menu was only $1! Perfect choice of food...especially when your slightly intoxicated! -one bathroom -easy parking -one smoking patio -...and HOUSE MUSIC! Nothing to complain about this place! Overall guud vibe and guud people. This is a great place to go with your friends to grab a few drinks and to hang out. No fancy theatricals like SUTRA...just a place to lounge, sit back and relax. P.S. the asian chick working the front desk/entrance is hot UNTIL THEN!! ^-^ read more

While the cougars may be dominant in the bar and grill territory, us silverback gorillas will always have the 18 and over teenie boppers at Focus. At my seasoned age walking into an establishment filled with college coeds, a silverback can easily finds its prey in close proximity. Oh yes...that's a paper wristband I'm wearing, but I'm beyond the virginal youth established by the legal drinking age. Don't be fooled by my Hurley Hat and DC skate shoes. I'm old. If you think you're a geezer like me, there's a few things you need to know about becoming a silverback gorilla. To complete the facade, remember that... *You work at a skateboard shop, not in an office. *You drive a rice rocket or lifted truck, not a European model. *Wear tight trendy jeans with a zipper hoodie, nothing Banana Republic *Learn to breakdance. Period. There are more things to learn, but these four should get you started on the right foot. If things go wrong and you've alerted your prey, their much younger and stronger alpha male gets defensive. Take refuge in the 21 and over smoking patio. Regain composure and try again, killer. On the real tip, Focus plays some good House music for your Tuesday night craving. Resident DJs such as Wobs and Josh Billings know how to set it off. On bigger nights, Andy Caldwell and Chuck Love have been known to grace the turntables at Focus. Be sure to check out their live mixes available for download at www.liveatfocus.com. Take a listen and become addicted. The dance floor is where you'll actually find me. After a few beers, I dance like nobody's business flinging my sweat in multiple directions. Practically everyone is dancing in their own little world appreciating the music at their own level. Leave your inhibitions and the running man dance move at the door. Just groove. This is house music. You can get in cover free if you RSVP on the guestlist and they sell some cool "I heart House Music" shirts. Unfortunately, the drink specials end too early and sometimes their dance floor gets congested with the circles forming for the peacocking breakdancers. Either way, it's still a cool place to beat your chest at the whippersnappers and get your groove on. read more

If you like: -House -Dancing by yourself -Casual dress (T-shirts, hats, tank tops, jeans, shorts, sneakers) -A chill atmosphere and mixed crowd -The dive-barish restaurant-turned-into-club setting -Waiting a long time to order drinks at a jammed-packed bar (the only one) -$1 tacos -18+ peeps You will probably like Focus Tuesdays at Tapas. If you like: -Pop, Mainstream EDM, Rap, Hip-hop, Old school -Dancing with other people -Dressing up to feel bougie -The grown and sexy crowd (i.e. 21 and over) -The LA/Hollywood foo foo exclusive upscale club feel -Somewhere to show off your newly purchased "red bottoms" aka C. Loubutins to someone who might actually care You will probably not like Focus Tuesdays at Tapas. read more

I say hands down the only great dance club in Orange County. The people are unpretentious, the DJ's are unsurpassed and the staff is magnificent (no, I don't work there or know anyone who does). I like to dance to good house music and often travel out of town to see the DJ's that I like. I discovered this place about 3 years ago when I saw that my beloved DJ Heather was spinning there. I went BY MYSELF which can be nerve wracking in a new place, but it couldn't have been more comfortable. Even the young girls (it's an 18 over spot) were friendly! Try to find that vibe from the girls at the 'beautiful people' clubs. Trust me, these are the truly beautiful people. I can't say enough about this place. If you're looking for some hookup type place go to Sutra, where dancing with someone may be mistaken as willingness to sleep with them. If you're looking to dance your butt off with other people who love house with GREAT music from all of the DJ's (not just the headliners) OC Focus is THE ONLY PLACE TO GO. read more

General: -no ins/outs -$5 entrance fee before 10:30 (if you rsvp by email), $3 water, $1 tacos -18+ -loud house music -attracts young, mostly hipster, crowd with a few people over 30 -casual dress code; girls tend to wear shorts, tank tops, and sandals Pros: -clean (a drink was spilled on the dance floor and it was immediately cleaned up) -always room on the dance floor (enough people that no one is watching you dance, but not so many that you're touching someone you don't know) -cheap (drink specials before 10:30) -never had any problem with the staff -plenty of tables and chairs Cons: -two stall/one sink bathroom (girl's) that is often crowded -always that one creepy older guy who dances too close Go here if you're in the mood to dance to music with few words without being hassled. Don't go here if you want to dress up and show off. No one will be looking--they'll all be dancing. The club is pretty empty around 9:30 and begins to thin out around 12:30 (presumably when the under 21 crowd has to head home). read more

Really? Ghetto fightness! damn 26 year old gangster billionaire brawler wants to beat up a 20 year old kid for asking his age. wth?! kick the ghetto out and keep the fun in!!! Then girls started hitting each other and it was a mess. sigh...why can't we be friends? Went here with some friends to enjoy house music (apparently it's been a house venue for over 8 years). it's $15 with RSVP before 10:30pm to see Yolanda B Cool. We were able to get one person in for free! :) thank u erikitoes! The music was AWESOME. The people are AWESOME (except for billionaire brawler....cough cough). The $1 tacos are AWESOME ($4 for a burrito; u can get carne asada, pollo and al pastor! con sevoyas tambien. oye!). The drink specials before 10:30pm are AWESOME. I haven never had so much at Tapas before. You have definitely redeemed yourself. Josh Billings rocked ittttttttttttt! One of the best local sets I've heard yet!!! I want at FOCUS shirt! wah! I shall be back for some more great music and company and food and drinks and etc. read more

i was going to give it 4 stars, but for the simple fact that its somehow managed to do weekly tuesday night events for over a decade in orange county with legit House music talent. That earns its 5-star rating. Josh Billings does a great job of finding talent that is up & coming from across the globe & bringing them out to a small club, on a weeknight, to a welcoming & motivated crowd in suburban orange county. Thanks Josh. And not only bringing out the flavor of the day, you can also rely on Focus to have the local legends like Marques Wyatt & Doc Martin get slots behind the decks, as well as classic favorites of Chicago house like Colette & Farina. The Tacos on the smoking patio are a nice little feature & friendly on the budget. Focus isnt a stuffy bottle service focused place to be seen, its a place to groove & share the joys of house music. So while my friends and I are well past our 21st birthdays, its nice to bring out a young cousin, brother, or sister just past their 18th birthday & welcome them into a safe place where they can gain some appreciation for this wonderful music. The bar is priced right around most other OC bars/clubs, and while their service isnt impeccable, I dont have any major gripes with them. I do however have much praise for their security staff, they're super friendly & always keep an eye out for my guests & I. Thanks D! read more

Not a good time. I went last night (Tuesday) with my girls, and we were shocked. First off, the bathrooms are tiny, only 2 stalls. They have this woman in the bathroom who hands you paper towels. That's awkward. After talking to some people, we were told that the crowd is kinda hipster. We were wearing denim shorts and nice tops, and we were waaaay overdressed. If you want to grind, or even dance, with a guy, this is not the place to go. It was like awkward dancing. People were mainly standing around or kinda shuffling. And the music...it is straight house music. Hence, really heavy bass beats and nothing to really sing or dance to. A guy was on the mic rapping this poetry stuff to the beat, and that was okay. The crowd was young, even for an 18+ place. There were a lot of groups, and no one was really mixing. Overall, if you really love house music, come here. If you want to dance by yourself, come here. Oh, and free parking in the lot. And last night was free before 10:30 if you RSVP. read more

After further consideration I have decided to up the rating to 5 stars. Here's why. The bloke that started the night is a great DJ and I happen to like his style. He also works VERY hard getting in real talent. Plus, the crew that he has assembled as residents are truly talented. I rock their sets all day long at work. Getting back to the talent that he brings in, they are some of the biggest names in the business. For example, Mark Farina, Donald Glaude, Derrick Carter, and JT Donaldson just to name a few. I feel that the producer deserves a pat on the back for bring great music to the area without having to deal with thousands of people rolling their asses off. Thanks Mr. Billings read more

Love it! Keep seeing these reviews complaining about house music being played in a house club. I think this is odd and unfair to leave a poor review of you didn't look up the venue before going. I've been here several times and love it. Most the time the resident Dj's are good and guest artists are always kick it up a notch. Drinks are not too expensive, most around $8. I think people expect too much for a place that only does Tuesday nights. It's a small quaint venue, nothing fancy, all about the music. read more

Focus is absolutely amazing. If you love house music, good vibes and awesome people, this is your spot. Josh Billings and his team have gone strong for ten years week in and week out. If that doesn't say something I don't know what will. I had the opportunity to see Kaskade for their ten year anniversary not too long ago and it was one for the books. The energy was palpable and there were die hard fans everywhere dancing and grooving all night. I was so honored and excited to be part of such a special evening. Make sure to check it out every Tuesday! And don't forget about the dollar tacos on the patio. :) read more

I accidentally opened a new Yelp account, because I had forgotten about my old one. So I'm reposting this review about Focus Tuesday under my "old" account. I've frequented many clubs/bars in Hollywood, Downtown, & Newport Beach & I'm very picky. But I can't say enough nice things about Focus Tuesdays!! I've never had so much fun on a weeknight! A 10-year staple in the SoCal dance music scene, it is by far superior to any club I've been to in O.C. It's 18+, but I would have never even guessed that because all of the patrons are super-chill. It's the kind of place with the rock-your-body/Orange Show sound system & you can go wild, but everyone is only there to dance, so no one will try to talk to you and harass you like at the other clubs!! So I drive 40 miles one-way & there's plenty of free-parking. The arched entryway is all "Spanish-Castle magic" & alludes to a great evening. Upon dancing around the club, I'm delighted that there's no smokey smell/sticky floors (which is always the case at other dance clubs.) I am already all danced-up after Focus' resident dj's open the place & to top that off there's is always a featured world-famous dj to finish the evening (James Zabiela one time, Harvard Bass, Dj Colette, Kaskade, & Miguel Migs to name a few?!:) I am always curious to see who is coming to Focus, so I subscribed to their non-spammy email list. Focus Tuesday at Tapas is uber cool but unpretentious. Probably due to it's unassuming location (which definitely sustains its allure) & top-tier dj's. As always, I can't wait until next time!!! read more

Colette is always a crowd pleaser. Focus Tuesdays has lost its flair. Mostly locals...same ol same ol. Bunch of old wrinkled partiers holding onto there twenties mixed in with a bunch of younger crowds there to see the big name djs. Creeper ville galor! It is really hot in there are too dark. Has an underground la club vibe to it. They need to upgrade the A/C. read more

I'm updating my review because I am such a Josh Billings fan girl. I went there several times last month and yesterday and I couldn't stop screaming "I LOVE JOSH BILLINGS". Billings plays house music with some latinish tunes and old school hip hop. Love his remixes :) Good music by Josh Billings, 3$ Vodka Enery, $3.50 Cosmos, Juicy $1 tacos on the patio, and my really hott roomie. Can't get any better! Perfect venue to dance off your mid-week blues. Cons? My feet are so sore from dancing so much. My roomie and I got there at 9:45 and left at 12:30 because Josh Billings made us dance so hard we had no energy left for the main DJ! Oh bring your dancing shoes! read more

Omg no more Taco guy on Tuesdays anymore, wow! It's Taco Tuesday really no Tacos fail! Lol... Also what happen to this place, not much people were there. read more

Quality music, quality people and quaity drink specials too! Focus offers big name talent in the perfect local venue. If you love to dance freely and fully self express your love for great music, then this is certainly the place to be on Tuesday nights. Everyone I have met there has been friendly and lots of fun too!! read more

Focus Tuesdays are a great place to shake your grove thing on a Tuesday night; and probably one of the only places in the OC that's poppin' off. They've been getting phenomenal DJs as of late and the resident DJs are equally good. The bar area can get pretty packed but there seems to always be room for more people on the dance floor; depending on who's playing that night the line can back up around the building so be prepared to wait a bit - but trust me, it'll be worth it! The sound system is kickin' and the hot dogs smell phenomenal. read more

I came here on a whim with my friend. Don't come in a mini dress and heels ready for a night out in a Vegas club lol but if you want a cool, sorta casual place to listen/groove to some underground-type edm music, grab a drink and chill with some friends, or people watch to deep house music, then yeah check this place out! It's not for everyone, but if you think you might enjoy it, I really suggest you come out! I think I'll be back again, the cover charge is pretty cheap ($5 or $10), and I enjoy the vibe of the music. read more

I went here on Tuesday Night and it was poppin? WHAAAT?! That's so crazy to me. Well mayb because DJ Colette was there and she was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I was so happy that my friends wanted to go here cause we all didn't know she was even spinning that night. Damn, she sings while she's spinning? GIRL IS AMAZING. Drinks are reasonably priced, there's dollar tacos in the back?! That's super smart to keep the crowd in if they have a bad ass case of the munchies! I was diggin how there were little dance battles between everyone. I've never witnessed it ever at a club that plays house/trance/electro etc. The clubs I've been to that spins that kind of music always have hoochie cooch girls that overly dress up and it's just not the same atmosphere here! I loved it here! They need to get on making a place like this in San Diego! read more

Okay I like great music Marques Wyatt in OC on a Tues!! I'm in!!!! I thought I have never been here even though this club has been here for years providing great dj's to a sh&&ty locale. I forgot, "wait I have been here" "I think it's 18 and over I hope not!!" What It isn't 18 and over some dud asks on the way in. Why, is that what you are into? No I'm 26 but my friends are under age... Well that sums up the age and mentality. I should have known if I forgot I have been there It couldn't be good. -- ie, He looks familiar. Did I sleep with him?-- NOT GOOD. Also a 26 yr old had under age friends. What He thinks he's cool because he took a high school chick to prom and scored alcohol for her friends mentality. But i went in anyways hoping Marques will pull a good crowd. No. He couldn't. The good + $5 b4 10:30 and discount drinks: beer , vodka energy, cosmo or midori sour about $3/3.50. Music was good but all the short Asian guys look like they were tone deaf and learned to dance by either the dance 360 show or the dance revolution game. Both bad. I am a great dancer but after watching them I lost my rhythm. I swore I will not be back!!!!! read more

Usually deep house on tuesdays, check out the dj listings. Pretty dope stuff. Lots of dancers come and cypher. Pretty cool stuff if you're into the whole dance scene. I house dance so its a rather good place to session and groove. Tacos are good too. Be aware they play underground house, so no pop edm here. read more

A deep house venue that books some seriously legit artists (Mark Farina, just move down here already!!) just off Macarthur?! Don't worry, I drove right by it the first time I tried visiting Focus too. The sound system is impressive, there can be some rad bar specials and the tacos outside are YUM!! Of course there's a cover, because everything in OC charges a cover - I'm pretty sure they asked me for $5 the last time I walked into an Arby's. But the crowd gets into it and it's a pretty fun Tuesday night spot that totally beats the mindnumbing Newport experience. read more

This place is great. By far my favorite club in OC. There's some great music, a good amount of space, and a fun vibe. Most nights there's a group of breakdancers who form a circle and that's entertaining to watch. One thing I really appreciate is that everyone isn't grinding each other to death. Some people dance solo, or in groups, or perform, and that's alright. It makes the entire place a lot more fun and open. People are really friendly there and I've met some interesting people. There's a lot less unwanted touching too- I guess the bouncers do their job pretty well. It's a good fun romp with genuinely great house music and delicious tacos. What more could you ask for? read more
