by Jorge H. on My friends and I have been to the Bubble Lounge on a couple of occasions and so far, I have to say I like the place. The first time we went, we didn't reserve a table so we stood around and drank some champagne until the music started downstairs at 10pm. The place is very nice, the decor definitely has a lounge feel to it and the crowd is usually pretty mellow and not stuck up like some other classy lounges. That night, the website said hip-hop and old school Rap would be played but for the first hour, we heard nothing but Coldplay and some techno. Not sure if that was just a warm up or if that is what they consider Hip Hop. Either way, the music got better but as the night went on, the crown got larger and larger! The dance floor is located down in the cellar and reminds me of the the point in the Universal Studios Tram ride when you get to the rock cave that spins. It's small and very narrow and if you stand close to the walls, you literally run out of head room as the ceiling is shaped like an arch. The music eventually gets better but if you are claustrophobic, this is not the place for you. It get's PACKED and when i mean packed I mean sardines in a can packed. You really can't dance or move around much and ladies, unfortunately this means that some of the jerks might cop a feel if you aren't careful. I'm not sure why they let so many people in to the dance floor but I guess if you are used to that musty, violation of space dance floor most clubs have, this won't matter to you. The last time we went, we reserved a table with couches and it ran us about $30 per person for 2 hours. Which was not bad except their champagne isn't that great and is very pricey . Their strawberry platter is AMAZING and their well drinks are mixed decently, but don't expect any of them to give you a nice buzz. Sitting at these couches are great for people watching and just sitting back and enjoying your evening with friends. I would suggest you get there before 9pm if you want to relax and sit down for a bit, otherwise you will get stuck in the long line that forms to get in later in the night. It's a very popular place so get here early! Overall, both experiences have been nice. Not great, but it does the trick if you are trying to just enjoy a nice evening in a classy place with a drink or two, or if you just want to get down and do some dancing.
by Hilario Muellner on Decent atmosphere, mixed with a diverse crowd, and bartenders who know how to make drinks fast. Two floors, upper deck is good for large private events it seems.
by Neville Galaviz on Non-restaurant-based review: Free entry, very lively crowd...and the drinks surely did the job. Not really my type of music, but others seemed to enjoy it. It was worth the experience, but I probably would not go back.
