Review of an event:…read more Event parking was $9 all night. There was plenty of parking in the structure. Go to level 4 for event parking. Box office opens one hour prior to show and closed at midnight. Event space was not that big. Restrooms are available in the mall by the escalators. There are also restrooms inside event venue.

With doors opening about an hour before the concert, the GA line tends to be longer than expected, and most of the venue is standing-room-only unless you opt for "premium" price for seats. Even so, the "standing only" crowd is usually respectful, and despite the tight space, the atmosphere stays fun. But, for short folks like myself, can be a major disadvantage as crowds beginning to move toward the front and blocking the view. From a concert going perspective, wear comfortable shoes is best as you're standing through the two+ hours. The ventilation is okay so you could get warm fairly quickly. Plus, there's four bar stations throughout the venue so there's no shortage of drinks for purchase (snacks are available, too). Overall, I like that the parking garage is attached to the HOB along with many other shops. HOB representatives also offered discounts parking -- so you pay $8 for unlimited parking (rather than $4/hour).

The Foundation Room is a VIP lounge at the House of Blues Anaheim. A friend of mine is a member,…read moreand I've had the pleasure of visiting several times in recent months. It has its own "fast lane" entrance where there is rarely a wait to gain entry. You walk through the private entrance and take an elevator upstairs. To reach the lounge entrance, you walk across a Persian rug covered walkway overlooking the restaurant below. You also pass by private liquor storage for members. The entrance area is decorated beautifully. It is dimly lit with red backlit Buddha statues and a beautiful chandelier overhead. Once you check-in and get your show tickets, you are offered complimentary champagne and guided into the main lounge area. It is also dimly lit, and there is definitely a wow factor when you walk in. The orange and pink ceiling really sets a vibe. There are various couches, lounge chairs, and tables around the room. The bar looks elegant and has nice looking lit columns. There are also large semi-private booths along the wall. The restrooms are upscale and there is usually an attendant. We were going to eat and have a drink before the show, so we had a booth reserved. The booths are U-shaped and are very large. They can easily accommodate ten or more people comfortably. I had the unami double burger ($22), and it was delicious and filling. The Mediterranean salad with salmon ($24) and chili crisp wings ($18) were also enjoyed at the table. We all also enjoyed an old fashioned. Our server was very friendly and took excellent care of us. The lounge also has a small stage. Half way through our meal, a band setup and started playing. The band was great and their music style fit the room well. A perk of membership is box/suite seating upstairs with a great view of most shows. The latest show I attended was for a number of tribute bands and upstairs seating was closed. Members still get VIP seating at the back of the floor with elevated seating that overlooks the general admission crowd. Both VIP areas include food and cocktail service. This experience blows away standing on the floor in a packed general admission crowd for hours. I look forward to returning again soon.

Mosh for Youth is one of my favorite music fests around. You get to see tons of great bands and…read moreprofits go towards scholarships for less fortunate students. This year we got the usual great lineup but instead of the DIY style show in a parking lot, Professor Vic moved it to the Cathedral. Located right off Garey, The Cathedral is tough to miss. There's plenty of street parking on Center St and there's also a small parking lot across the street. This used to be a YMCA but it looks like an old church with dark wood flooring, high ceilings and stained glass windows. A very cool venue. How did it sound? Loud. Extremely loud. They also had a huge video board which gave each band a little extra hot sauce. There were a couple of bars in the back and you could also order food. It's air conditioned in there but between the heat (100+ outside at the time) and the amount of bodies inside, it was at least bearable. Mosh for Youth was great as always and while I loved the DIY ethos in the past this felt like a leap forward. The sound, look and venue made this feel big time. I hope future MFY shows take place here...until they maybe outgrow this place too, which would mean more scholarships for the kids. Highly recommended!

What we love about this place is they have happy hour everyday from open to I believe 7, you can't beat that! The food and drinks: we got a tamarindo margarita and we liked it a lot. Good flavor although it could have used a bit more alcohol. For tapas we got: croquetas de queso y jamon (we loved them, they were probably our favorite), calamari (it was so good!), empanadas (my boyfriend said they were good), short rib tacos (they were okay but not the greatest), patatas bravas (only thing I wasn't a fan of). Overall, really great food, service and ambiance. We will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a place with dancing, lights, and a festival atmosphere? Then you have found it here. If you looking for a quiet, romantic spot for having a private dinner? This is not a great place for that. The Spanish culture is alive and well. They like music and dance, all night long. We came for the paella and the tapas. We started with bacon wrapped dates and blue cheese. They were excellent. Our paella was so much food, it fed three people, and we took some home for one more meal. This was half priced on Sunday, a great deal. I wish they had a quieter place to really enjoy the meal in peace. Maybe it is just me, but it was too much like a nightclub and not like a restaurant. Overall, we will return for a Sunday meal for paella. This is a real cultural restaurant.

We have also been there for seated dinner style events with Chef's and it has been amazing as well. Last night my Mom and I attended the 40th anniversary screening of the movie Clue and it was amazing! There were rows of seats and I felt we had a good amount of leg room and the seats were not the most comfortable but they worked well for the amount of time we were seated. It was so much fun, the audience was involved and we had a Q&A beforehand which was neat to learn some background of the movie. The venue has plenty of seating out in the happy hour area where you can grab a drink and snacks. Prices were reasonable, popcorn, pretzels, movie snacks, as well as more sufficient foods like pizza, flatbreads, and burgers. Parking is fairly easy in and out. We were coming in just as Angel Stadium was getting out (and it was packed Angel's vs. Dodgers) but entry was still seemless. Great venue, awesome people, and an overall amazing event last night!!!

It bums me out to write this review for a few different reasons. The first being that Chain…read moreReaction is closed and that sucks. The second being that I only made it out to this place once since I only lived in the area for a brief time before it's closing. Growing up on the East Coast I always remember seeing Chain Reaction listed on upcoming tours and when I moved out to LA the venue cut down on hardcore shows and started primarily having metal shows that I didn't really care enough to travel to Anaheim for. In early November I saw that King 810 were playing here so I jumped on the opportunity to come and check this legendary venue out. Now, this venue does have a small parking lot and I got lucky snagging a spot up front even though I showed up fairly late. The venue itself looks absolutely insane. The walls here were packed with t-shirts from bands who played here in the past and it was a truly unique look. I'll be honest, when King 810 took the stage the sound wasn't the best and they had some mic problems but who knows if that was the venue or just the band setup, so I'm just going to ignore that all together. Overall, I'm glad I got to at least check out Chain Reaction once before it's closure. I'm super bummed I missed out on tickets to the final shows here, but at least I got here. RIP Chain Reaction.

Parent perspective:…read more I'm not sure what this place is like the rest of the week, but on Sundays they host an event where local high school bands get to play, and I've been twice now for that. It's a small strip-mall venue tucked into the corner - little stage inside, a few spots to sit outside, and basically standing room only once you walk in (there's one small bench if you get lucky). There's also a small wall you can stand behind if the kids start getting a little rowdy with their teen energy, which is kind of the unofficial parent safe zone. Sound-wise: bring earplugs if you're a parent. It gets loud in there - drums, guitars, and teenage enthusiasm will do that. They've got beers (mostly cans) and sodas, with beer prices running about $7-$9. I didn't really see any real food options, maybe just chips or small snacks, so eat before you come if you're planning to hang out for a while. Cover was about $12 to get in, and there are no in-and-out privileges. There's a sign that says "no moshing," which they seem mostly serious about, but they're a bit lenient when the kids get excited as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Overall, it's a decent little venue doing something cool for the community. I'm just glad they give these kids a real stage and a crowd. I'm a big fan of live music, and it's fun to watch the next generation figure it out in real time.

I had to flag our assigned waitress to get some adult beverages. Ordered House wine and my wife ordered a sweet cocktail. We kept ordering drinks all night.

Overall the show was classy. Great choreography, vibing to some reggaeton music. No complaints about the show. We had fun! This place is the only Burlisque show that I know or aware of that is in the Long Beach area. Check the website to view the lineup. Category changes everytime. Great ambiance with clean restrooms.
