Aqua Lounge - Newport Beach

Amazing staff , attentive and hospitable. Bartenders are great company to sit with for hours. Large TVs if you wanna watch the game. Nightclub get busy around 11 pm, they do close early around 1 so make this the first stop of the night not the last . Great atmosphere!!!

The valet was courteous and efficient. The environment was clean and friendly. Sat at the bar and was served promptly. Staff treated my wife well when leaving bar area(setting up for busy club night) they do take bar stools before the DJ starts but are nice about it. We will go back.

Nice lounge... turns into a bit of a look show, but cool vibes. Older crowd, but not overly; would say a 28 30 plus demo with spots of older and younger. Music is pretty much top 40 and drinks are priced for the area . I'd say an average three drink night would run 50 60 depending on how you tip. The plus is there is no cover and it's more a dressy casual. Worth a visit, not much of a date night as it is more girls or guys night out.

The drinks were tasty, but a bit overpriced. The bartender was friendly, but a waitress asked us to relocate to make room for another Christmas party, even though there was plenty of space available. We had enjoyed drinks there the night before with no issues, but this time the waitress left us with nowhere else to sit because the other party had taken our designated area. Since they were seated at the bar instead, we decided to leave as we didn't want to stand around in our holiday attire.

This is a great place with fantastic bartenders who can create custom cocktails for you. The atmosphere is friendly and overall very enjoyable. The only downside was the DJ. He seemed to struggle with reading the room and played a mix of music that lacked continuity. For example, after playing "Hypnotize" by Notorious B.I.G., he followed up with a 2019 dance hit. If you're reading this, consider changing the DJ as the previous one seemed to have a better understanding of the crowd.
