On Taco Tuesdays you get the best deal on great tacos and margaritas. Plus really good live music.
Really great place with nice ambiance. Phenomenal DJ and music. The waitresses really care and always available for drinks. Highly recommend this place.
Nice place, amazing bartenders who can make you a custom cocktail, friendly people, all in all the mood was great. The only thing that put a dent in all that was the DJ. This dude did not read the room - changing the beats like a 10yr old, without continuity - at one point, after he played "Hypnotize" by BIG, he went and put some 2019's dance hit ????
Aqua Lounge, if you're reading this, change the DJ - the guy before knew what he was doing.
Aqua Lounge is an upscale bar located inside the Fashion Island Hotel that offers a great selection of cocktails and some great music.
I came here with a couple of friends after a reception at the hotel and it did not disappoint. The lounge was very busy because of the reception and there was quite a range of people there, but it was definitely more of an older crowd when I went that night.
The bar itself holds about 4 bartenders so you can get your drinks quickly. Their menu has a wonderful selection but my boyfriend and I opted for a jack and coke ($12) and a red bull vodka ($12.40). Both of these were cheaper than their signature cocktails and still had about 2 oz or so per beverage.
Aqua Lounge has a very intimate space with lots of table seating. They have a small dance floor as well with a DJ playing hip hop. I found that the music became a bit repetitive towards the end of the night but I still had an enjoyable time.
Overall, I loved my experience here and prefer Aqua Lounge to Eats in Hotel Irvine. I would definitely consider returning for another event.
Pro tip: make sure to validate your ticket with the valet!
This is a beautiful venue and their "Taco Tuesdays" are great. Brian and Chris prepare the tacos and margaritas outside. Both Brian and Chris are professional yet extremely friendly and definitely create a fun atmosphere!
