Strut Bar & Club

The venue is small with low ceilings making the environment sweaty and humid. They demanded a $10 cover for a DJ playing the same song/type-beats with no change or variation. The part that upset me the most is when staff wouldn't let me go take my anti-seizure medication without having to pay the $10 to get back in. This happened within the first 10 minutes arriving. Keep in mind this is a tiny Strip Mall location my car was directly in front of the "clubs" sidewalk. I've been to huge venues where even they were cool about leaving if you let security search you again on re-entry.Basically I was told to have a seizure on the dance floor or get out and repay to walk 2feet back in the door. The Abbey in West Hollywood is now completely worth the drive from Newport Beach if this is what coastal OC has to offer. *An update, just spoke with Manager outside and the security to confirm that it is the case and it wasn't just one person who told me a wrong answer about me getting my epileptic medication, even though they can literally watch me. It's sad and it makes me sick that the LGBT community is turning more and more hostile within itself (especially here)...

Fun bar to come check out to see one of their Drag shows.We decided to come check this place out for a friends birthday. She had never been to a drag show and we have never been to this location so we figured we would come check it out.We got a reservation for 3 people and ended up sitting at the bar on the side of the stage. It was perfect for ordering drinks and getting a good view. And yes the drinks are made strong but still have good flavor.As for the show it was very fun and entertaining. They walk around and perform and make everyone feel involved even if you are in the back.After the show they have music playing and you can stick around and party the night away. We stayed to get some pictures in the photo booth and dance for a few songs.Overall it was a fun night and we would come here again for another show.

I came here for a night out with friends, expecting to have a great time, but instead, we witnessed something deeply disturbing. A man in the bar got aggressive and actually hit a woman. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but what shocked me even more was the staff and management's complete lack of action. They did absolutely nothing to resolve the situation, didn't ask the assailant to leave, and acted as though nothing happened. This place clearly doesn't care about the safety of its patrons, which is unacceptable. It's the bar's responsibility to ensure everyone feels secure, and they failed horribly. I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're looking for a safe, respectful environment.

My friends brought me here for the Mariah Carey and friends drag queen extravaganza. We celebrated my 50th birthday and had the best time ever. The service was great. Our server actually held our cake and brought it out and served a slices at the end of the show. The show was so much fun and really well produced. The drinks were strong and on point. Can't wait to come back.

The space is fun, with mirror rooms for pics, and the employees are friendly. However, we went on Halloween night and the DJ was so bad we had to leave. Cool vibe but unfortunately music prevented it from being as fun as it could have been.

Strut Bar & Club provided an amazing experience for my boyfriend's birthday and we will definitely be returning! The team that served our table was diligent in ensuring all were having a remarkable experience - a true job well done!

The workers and the people that goes here are super nice and welcoming! The only problem I would say is that they need to fix their left speaker . Other than that , the decor and the club set us is so nice !

The staff is friendly would go again. What is nice about going to this club is that you don't feel pressured to get a drink or dance just have a good time. Drinks are about $15-$17 if anyone was wondering.

Welcoming staff, beautiful decor, good drinks! Finding open & welcoming spaces like this in Orange County is rare. They do so many great events as well!! Perfect playlist mix -- could not stop dancing!Thank you Strut & Birdcage! Happy Pride Month!

The vibe of this place is great , the staff is phenomenal, and the drinks are great !If you're in the Orange county area and looking for a great time- check this place out!
