Focus Tuesdays

Unprofessional and unorganized. Nothing but excuses for an error that was done on their part.Long story short, the website crashed for a brief period of time. Once it was back up, the site was reloaded with HTML and the link to purchase tickets changed without notifying anyone.If you had access to a computer and knew a thing or two about web development, you would have been able to access the html and discover the actual link. That said link was discovered and shared amongst others on Facebook while the rest of us who were stuck with phones or who don't have a Facebook account continued to refresh a page that would waste an hour of our time.Their tweet defended themselves saying that they never changed the link on anyone, but then on their Facebook post, they apologized stating that they overwrote the link after they brought the site back up. Not sure why they kept changing their story, but are you really going to give your business to a club that called its customers liars when they were called out on Twitter?I'm not upset that I wasn't able to buy tickets for a sold out show. I've been doing this electronic music thing for 10 years and sometimes it's just the way it goes, but it's another thing to mislead customers and waste their time and not be given a fair chance.Who knows? Maybe the correct link was shared amongst friends and people who work in the industry. It would appear that way, given some of these electronic music Twitter accounts made smug little comments about how they were able purchase tickets and how they sent the link to others.

After 14 years in Costa Mesa, Focus has moved to The Circle venue in Huntington Beach. Same great vibes, better venue. The Circle is rather large, has a semi-elevated upper level, an LED screen behind the DJ, 2 bars, and nicer bathrooms. It also has AC although it does still get hot with all the body heat. The dance floor extends out from the stage vertically so its a little harder to get close to the DJ but once you make your way to the front there is plenty of room. Focus books both big and small name DJs. They keep it affordable: you can sign up for guest list online which is either free or discounted, or purchase tickets which are usually around $10. This is a steal since you don't usually find clubs so inexpensive that bring such great talent. The club is 18+ and the crowd seems to skew toward the 18-23 range. Drink Specials before 10:30 are $2 Domestics, $3 Imports, and $4 well drinks. Dress code is super casual, no need to get dressed up. Just come and enjoy this club that is all about house music, good vibes, and run by 2 dudes who truly care about both.

So this is what they mean when they say the club is goin' up...on a Tuesday!This is an awesome weekly event to get your dance on for cheap. I got presale tickets for $5, although it can vary depending on the artists playing. The production and sound is very good! No dinky stages or sad speakers for you. Bring your earplugs.It was surprisingly crowded for a weekday, but it became clear why it was so popular...the music is a MOOD! It's only house music, so if you're not into that stay away. Just when you think it can't get any better, Circle is located in a plaza that has tons of parking that's f r e e.

Don't judge a book by it's cover...At first we were.... and then it was.... WHOA.I had the pleasure of venturing out FOCUS Tuesdays to catch friend, producer, Alex Kenji.and the venue was small and intimate, but the evening ROCKED.If you LOVE your house music, if you love music PERIOD.This is the place to catch some of the most incredible DJs/Producers, and they're past track sheet is much to be talked about.If you haven't been go -- and a special shout out to Josh Billings and Non-Fiction Jose for their incredible hospitality and the very cool I LOVE HOUSE MUSIC tshirts!!!! now that's LOVE right there!!!!!

FOCUS! Nonfiction and Josh Billings have been keeping this place going for almost 2 decades. The talent and the overall atmosphere of this Tuesday-only house music club keep it going strong, and it's only getting better than ever! The sound quality is amazing and the hearing loss is real, so bring some earplugs if you can. Drinks are somewhat overpriced, and they'll really give you a hard time if you want a glass of water (bottles only *eyeroll*) but other than that, always good times here!

Focus Tuesday is basically my local dive bar where I go to visit all my friends. But, the venue is far from being dingy and dirty like a dive. I have had nights where I spent $0 on glist not drinking, and other nights when I ball outta control and spend over $100 on a bar tab buying everything they have to offer. I haven't had a bad time at this new location. The staff from Emily scanning my tickets, the security guy that reminds me of Carl Cox and the bathroom guy are the nicest. They recognize me every time I show up. Production, DJ line up and friend line up are all always on point. Much props to Billings, Non-Fiction and the crew for all the hard work they put in to make this the best spot to be on Tuesdays for all these years!

I need to chime in here because they got a lot of negative flack recently due to website overload from Kaskade ticket sales. Focus was able to book Kaskade due to a long time history with him. We are lucky that they were able to bring Kaskade to OC for a redux show. It's sad that not all of us will be able to attend, but that's the reality of it.We should be happy and supportive of a small-time local nightclub focuses on the MUSIC! We have a wonderful place to come, dance, and enjoy our Tuesday nights. How many nightclubs come and go? Let's support Focus so that we have a place to come and celebrate house music. Come to dance, have fun, and enjoy. Check your toxicity at the door.

All these people angry and giving low reviews was because they couldn't get tickets to an artist that used to play at focus before they even knew who he was. For kaskade to come back and pay respects to his roots mean that there is more to this place than the people who never been and only complaining about a site crash they overloaded.Focus has been a safe haven for 14 years. Catering to the house and tech heads. Josh has been true to the music and what the focus culture is all about.He has brought so many artists who have paved the way for house in Southern California and the rest of the world.So don't listen to these triggered sore losers.been a part of the focus community since its first year and If you are into house music, love to dance, and be a part of a something that's been bringing house music and culture to the Oc for 14+ years, this is the place to be.

Been a fan of Focus Tuesdays ever since I got into House Music a couple years ago, and started grooving it out with my friends. I started coming to this event when they were originally in Newport Beach. Always loved the music...however the crowds are a hit or miss depending on what you like to do when you're at events like this.I came to their new venue, The Circle in Huntington Beach, for the first time to see Billy Kenny's Extended Set 2017 hosted by Focus OC. In terms of parking, it wraps around the whole building, so if you are unable to find parking in the lots, be prepared to go zig-zag around for a while. The line we waited in was approximately 30 min (with tickets purchased).The actual venue was pretty interesting, the main bar is somewhat right by the entrance as soon as you walk in. The main stage was crowded and small. Forget that. But they had a second level that you take stairs towards that had a bar, and some wall seats that lined the wall and the back corner. Now that area was pretty nice, since there was a good amount of room to move around. They had a outside seating area where there were a couple selling Mexican food to attendees.Overall, the new venue is alright, looking forward to the new DJs that come through though!

Focus OC in HB is just as good and obviously better than before. Tuesdays are always my favorite day of the week thanks to y'all at FOCUS. Keep on playin and dancin!
