Let me tell you guys something. Under the definition of happy hour, there should a picture of Dave and Busters because the one in Irvine Spectrum has got some sexy deals.

As a college student with not a whole lot to spend but a whole lot of desire to have fun, Dave and Busters has hooked it up! Drinks range from 3$ to about 6$ for mixed drinks and 4$ dollars for shots. (Get to know the bartenders and the prices will get even nicer!) Along with these great prices they've got games and practically half of orange county's college students to mingle with. The food is okay but a little overpriced and HH doesn't apply to food there. If you're really hungry I'd recommend the mini burgers and fries =)

Me and my friends usually go to the Irvine Spectrum's Dave and Busters on a Thursday night and have the best time.  (Come before 10 and get in for free but after there is a 3$ cover charge)

 Cactus Coolers!!

Drink recommendations (HH is M-F 4 - 7 p.m. and late night HH from 10-closing):
1.) Cactus coolers!! It's one of the best shooters and D&Bs makes it right and cheap. (Beware they put red bull in it)
2.) Ask the bartender to make a signature drink because they will hook it up with the prices (if they're nice) and they'll make it strong too =)
3.) Shots are a great deal too. About 4 to 6 dollars (compared to club prices that is a sick deal) and they are generous.
4.) For those of you who don't like to drink too much I recommend the grasshopper. It tastes like a mint pistachio smoothie with whip cream on top. YUM!

Sex on the Beach, Grass hopper, Adios and my crazy sister =)

Game Recommendation:
1.) Deal or No Deal (you can get a bunch of tickets!)
2.) Basketball game (competitive fun!)
3.) Initial D ( Also competitive)


Just on the warning note...kids can come in if they are with someone 25 or older which can make for an awkward night (I don't like drinking in front of little ones)...but this almost is never the case Thursday nights so come then and we can all hang out =)!

Okay, so I've never been to a real opera before.  But surely, it's nothing like this. Surrounded by other hotspots but slightly hidden in a small street on Schrader in Hollywood, I was surprised to find a daunting line at 9:45. I chatted excitedly amongst my friends and readied my camera for the doors to open. The girls were looking pretty and the boys were looking handsome and I was ready for a good time.

Two hours later..

I entered the club and hit a patio where dedicated smokers came to relax. I opted to explore further in to see what I would find. I got a red bull and vodka at the full bar not far from the entrance and grabbed my girls to hit the dance floor. Two go-go dancers on the far left and right were showing the patrons how to shake it. But it was way too crowded. I decided to go to the 2nd dance floor where it was less crowded but as some would say, it was less "crackin."

I danced and chatted with the many people there that night and had some fun.

All in all I ended the night with some ghetto dogs and some useful facts and set opinions about Opera. 


-- There are so many random placed couches everywhere it makes it difficult to maneuver around. (Seems  like total capacity is 700 but there were about 900 people) 
-- Friday nights are packed so get there super early (i.e. before 10)
-- Beware there are a lot of cigarette bummers
-- Music was mediocre (you know... where you're getting your groove on but then the song changes and you're just standing around trying to figure out why they are playing dumb songs...)
-- Apparently boys aren't allowed to dance on the go-go polls
-- There are one bathroom (three stalls) for girls and one bathroom for guys too (I think...if there's more let me know cause I couldn't find it =(

--Really dig the dim lights and chic atmosphere.

--Vegas type club that provides a fun and exclusive atmosphere

-- Average alcohol drinks are about 12 dollars (that's including shots)
-- Voss water drink 5$ 
--Cup of ice water is free

All in all on a fun scale of 1-10 I would give it a 6 or 7.
