Definitely more dudes than girls, but there Nathan J. was plenty of goodlook!ng girls. Music was pretty good, drinks were okay, I didn't eat there but have San Juan heard okay reviews. I got in without cover, but Im will say I wouldnt have had as much fun if I had to Capistrano, CA pay to get in. The cover is more than its worth to party here.

Lang Beach, CA There was a decent line, not one we couldn't wait in. For principal reasons, I think everyone wanted to leave. It's not good business to pretend to hand out RSVP and use that to just get us there. Hello, like there aren't other places to go. What a joke! It's OC... not Hollywood!

Corona del Mar, CA Held us outside for 25 minutes when we were on the list, there was no one else in line, it was 9pm, and when we got inside, NOT ONE PERSON at the bar. I could understand if they wanted to create a buzz and what not, but again, we were on the list and ridiculously early. This started off the night terrible. Later, 3 friends were not able to get in, making things worse. 150 bucks later at the bar, I was pretty drunk. Too bad this was just for ME.

The manageriowners were helpful to a point at the end of the night - but not much. Crowd was pretty good - def. 25+ with quite a few cute girls and older rich (some quite creepy) guys. i Music -- DJ kept changing music styles all over the place and would switch songs way before they were over, making for a disjointed experience. In fact, aside from the attractiveness of the people at the place, there's nothing good about this place as a club - -- I can't comment on the sushi / food / dining experience.

The place is Chinese in concept and Japanese in cuisine and Hacienda Heights, ignorant in implication. For me, at least. CA The venue was a friend's choice. My bf and I got there very early in hopes of getting sushi and drinks at the bar. No such luck! By 9pm, there was already a stodgy fellow in a leather jacket and a dude in a suit with a clipboard at the door. At 9PMl AT A RESTAURANT! Apparently, feeding people is NOT on the agenda! Mind you, the place is in a commercial shopping center, so the whole "this place is so HOT, you have to be on the list" vibe seemed very strange and out of place. Then again, I have never gone clubbing in Orange County, I rarely venture into there for anything, even less so now that people actually refer to it as "the OC ", so this may just be standard procedure. t The place inside was very small, so the strict guest list routine made much more sense. It was small and crowded everywhere. And hot. Poor ventilation system. The decor is unbelievably tasteless. The getups those poor servers have to wear. Think traditional Chinese hooker Halloween costume: Short, tight red embroidered cheong sams that scream "chink ". Bartenders in pink and black lace up corsets and go go boots. Give them a frilly skirt and you've got slutty pirates! 1 The scene is very deliberate about the "cool" effect and it seems to work. People are so easy. Men come in droves to ogle at the ample cleavage spilling out from all directions, (seriously someone can lose an eye with all the exposure going on) and women deliver what they can in their push up bras, black shorts and black knee boots. The DJ.is amazing. AMAZING. This dude should go on tour. Non stop great music, unexpected mixes that only heighten the upbeat dance vibe. j Bookmark Send to a Friend Link to This Review 3 star rating 0110412008 1 4 Decor - Contemporary Asian fused. At First sight kind of likeable, striking with it's bright red decor. Rosalynn H. Then a half a second later slapped into reality of tackiness when greeted by the hostess in a hooch- Cerritos, CA a -fled Chinese traditional dress (in much need of some ironing by the way.) Untenslls and tabletops looked like it needed some hosing down. When the waiter came to fill our water glasses, the cups were stuck onto the table! Too many dragons everywhere. Dragon over kill. Food - Sushi menu was pretty limited. And it's a sushi restaurant how? Taste was so so, nowhere near spectacular. My martini was pretty awful as well. Music - Good mix People - Lots of dudes. Dudes in business attire (10 pm) with bluetooth in their ears rocking out on the dance floor (okay, made that last part up), about the dancing that is. There was only one girl on the dance floor. To be honest, I don't know if I like this place or not. Best to drink and dance (hopefully when there's more than one other girl dancing) but definitely not to eat. Obviously one's palate should not expect much from a dish called "sexy tuna handroll "..something of the sort. The "chocolate seduction cake" tasted more along the lines of a horny ding dong. No wait, that was my date.

I have to admit I am not a clubbling kind of girl Trish 0, though, and this is a clubbing type of place. Boys, if you want your ladies dressed to the tens with Rancho Santa everything hanging out and you don't mind if it is real or not—this is the place for you. Ladies, I wish I Margarita, CA could say the same about the guys. They were decent and dressed ... some of them, but with that comes the kind of guy who likes a stereotypical O.C. girl. I may have had a bad attitude from the start though. The waitress began by telling us everything on the menu was exceptional, which is never true. Service was poor over all, the food was ok, but nothing to brag about considering the cost. Drinks were $9 a pop, not something I was pleased about. However, the DJ was great and I had fun dancing with my friends. I would go back only for dancing and I would drink at the sports bar next door before going to Fury.

Really no way to get around this, even if you get there early. it's pretty reasonable for higher -end vodka, tons of mixers, shots, red bull, and impeccable service (seriously). expect to spend about 450 +tip on a Saturday night. For such a nice place, it's a steal. Oh, and the valet parking guys are insanely fast (although, if you're still burning off that last cherry bomb, probably better if they took their time.)

I went here on a saturday night for a friend's birthday and it was Irvine, CA decent. We got there before 9 to avoid the cover charge and line (there was none) and sat at the bar before they converted the club. It is the stereotypical OC crowd however more diversity than expected. Decor was cheesy (it's japanese but they had those chinese red lamp things hanging). The OC women bartenders were nice which is refreshing from some of the ones I've encountered in LA- drinks are $10 -1 had a martini which was decent (it didn't taste like fruit punch which I appreciated). We also tried the spicy tuna roll and edamame which was okay...not too pricey but okay—the best party was the edamame which was coated with salt and tasty. Once 10PM struck, there's a small area (kinda like a stage) that becomes the dance floor and the walls are plastered with the music videos. The music is LOUD since the speakers are nearby but the music was GOOD- not typical trance but diverse with mostly hip hop (i like). it was really crowded on the dance floow though. They have a small area for VIP lounges but it's a bit pricey ($35 /person approx which I guess isn't that bad compared to LA). Location is nearby Classic Q's. i Bookmark Send to a Friend Link to This Review People thought this was: Useful (1) Eiite'08 2 star rating 11/19/2007 32 327 After all my experiences at clubs and lounges I was quite surprised that Fury Lounge in Orange Tim L. County was not that bad as a venue. Its definitely a fun place to have fun with friends or celebrate a San Francisco, CA special occassion with some alcohol and music. My fatty ass has been clubbing all over and I have never seen super aggressive males until I came here. The lounge was mainly full of dudes standing around starring and hovering over everything with boobs. I told them I was taken. Bastards. The manatee and my buddy Tiger Wood's gf were with some random drunk chick the entire night. Her friends ditched her at this cock infested place. Since she couldn't call her friends because they were probably getting gang raped outside. The entire time they were watching drunk girl a dirty dude was starring at the drunk girl trying to get her to go with him somewhere. But Tiger Wood's and his gf took her home and made sure she got home safely.

Their record the tuesday set and then post it on itunes as a weekly podcast. It was $5 to get in and $15 after 10:30pm. It was 18 over but to my pleasant surprise most people were over 21 but still a young crowd. The crowd goes for the music. It had more of a bar vibe than a club feel. I would recommend it if you are into trance but if not slip it on Tuesdays.

I was about to ripped his balls off (actually I was gonna let him have her) but a fight broke out so we bounced. Where do these dirty dudes come from? I think they were all so horny they probably started fucking eachother after everyone left. I've never been to a club or lounge that had so many homy guys willing to fuck anything. Including eachother. Welcome to the OC. j Bookmark Send to a Friend link to This Review 4 star rating 07/27/2007 91 123 The Fury is now at what used to be Hamburger Marys. I went to the grand opening of the ECLIPSE Melody K. last night, which is what Fury is calling their Thursday nights. The atmosphere is upscale restaurant Irvine, CA with a giant bar in the middle. Fury is not that big and it seems even smaller with all the tables/ booths. Many of those tables were reserved for table service, although being the grand opening only half of them were occupied. When we first got there they were being pretentious and made everyone stand in line. Once they had let us in we joined all of the 5 people that were already inside. As it got later it was decently crowded, but no where near as crowded as I expected it to be. The DJ was playing allot of old school music which was fun but reminded me of junior high. The bartenders know how to make a stiff drink; they do not skimp out on the alcohol. Overall I think its a nice place, 1 will have to go back and check it out before I can give it a more accurate rating. During the day its as they say a Rock N Roll Sushi bar minus the sushi bar. I was not there for the sushi so I can't say how good it was, but I did see a couple roils on some one's table and they were huge!! Note: When going to the restroom know that you did not walk in to the wrong one. It was a little weird that the men's and women's restroom share the same foyer, sink, and mirrors. Only the restroom stalls were in separate rooms. k Bookmark Send to a Friend Link to This [Review People thought this was: Useful (1) -- ---- --- ._.. 4 star rating 0913012007 3 11 Good music!

Westminster, CA I was actually so annoyed by one guy tat I just pushed him off the dance floor...yeah, don't cross me if I am intoxicated! :p Overall we had fun ... drinking, sweating, and dancing ... also this is ur typical OC spot (beach blonde, surgically enhanced... flamboyant)!

My friends were already inside so I was one female and got in pretty almost immediately. I don't Orange, CA know if you had to pay cover, but I just walked in and found my friends who were seated right next to Dennis Rodham's table. That man is a GIANT, a true MONSTER, he's so big! I was kicking myself for not bringing out my camera. Other than that, I went on a Monday and surprisingly it was popping. Mondays are their SIN (for those in the service industry). My experience was mildly pleasant. The restrooms were separate minus the handwashing area which was joint. I think the guys were more excited about that than the women. Maybe because they Wt as if they're using a joint restroom with all the typical Orange County chickies- bleached blonde hair, fake tan, acrylic nails, and busty chests enhanced by the miracle of plastic surgery- enjoy!I Bookmark Send to a Frond Link to Thts Review http: / /www.yelp.com/biz/fii y -rok- and -rol- sushi - lounge - newport-beach 4n k, l 02/04/2008 ao,
