Opal By Arena

Literally there’s no one in the club on a Saturday night. Just few folks who came for birthday celebrations. On top of that they were charging a $10 cover fee for nothing. Bar tender said they do not have Jameson whiskey. Not a good experience at all.

Julie ann was the promoter that helped me with a fun experienced. Everything went smoothly. Thank you for this experience and the bottle service was 10/10.

Music was bad. The drink I had didn’t have much alc in it. $20 cover 👎

Great club atmosphere but expect those club prices $10 for a beer and $17 for cocktails. I got in before the cover fee, so I am not sure how much they charge for entry. The time I went it was an Arena pop up, but the music didnt seem to be fitting for that type of club.

Night club that doubles as a career fair by day. So this review is for the venue. Open space, circular bar in the from and restrooms in the back. Close to VTA and Caltrain

Free entry to get in until 10:30pm. I prefer going with the host who knows you better. The worse part is the floors that was sticky. In fact my shoes have gotten sticky because of alcohol spill. I hope you enjoy the night in your entire life.

Good place to have a night out with friends. On the downside just make sure you dont get overcharge for drinks you didnt get.

Just passing through for the weekend and let me say, nice decor and security was on point but that is where the positives end. The stairs had a line of used tissue paper coming from the womens bathroom that went all the way down to the dance floor where people had it stuck to their shoes unknowingly. A cover for any establishment in Mountain View is absurd. This is not LA, NYC, or Miami. The drinks were overpriced and extremely weak. Other feedback from this establishment will say they hold their bartenders to a high standard but that is rubbish. I expect at least a full oz. of whiskey in a fifteen dollar makers and coke. Clientele was good though. Young professionals in the tech industry mostly, even though they have no idea that they are being overcharged on everything. DJ was meh. Super old hip hop from the late 90s and early 00s. Wouldnt go back.

It wasnt over crowded and they had good music. The bar tenders werent the best but they tried. I asked for like 3 diffrent drinks and kept saying they didnt have it. We didnt have to pay the full price but they were charging $40 per person which seems way too high. The security is nice. And they have alcoholic boba which I thought was cool. But i think its just the Pearls that are infused cuz you cant really taste it. The bathrooms needed a touch up though the night but they did have toilet paper so I was happy.

Great place, great vibe. Went for a Halloween event, and bought tickets in advance. I would give them a better rating, but they opened almost an hour late, and the DJ could have been better (music and song choice was hit or miss). The venue looks amazing though. Reservations and bottle service is on point.

It was the best night. I went for my birthday last night. I put my name on the guest list and I won a free bottle and a free table. Our waitress was on point. All of the staff was great. The music was amazing. Hands down the best club Ive been to. Thanks Michael for the giveaway! :) I definitely will be coming back frequently!

1) Doesnt have ins and outs and its which is a turnoff. Even if people dont leave, the feeling and belief one can come and go is expected at least as a club standard.2) Drinks were mediocre and the bar tender had to keep asking people for help and they didnt help her that much3) We were told not to sit anywhere as everything was reserved even though no one was using the seats we sat on in the front.4) No shorts allowed and it was over 80 degrees outside. They made me change or I couldnt go in. I had to go back to the car and change and walk all the way back to the club making me tired.With those rules and problems, most places have it down pretty well, so I wont be coming back unless invited by the club.Just go next door or sf.

Saturday night boring DJ, Less options for drinks, entry fee, basic drinks expensive price.

Great venue but parking is limited.

It was my first time coming to this place and I went to see a friend DJ. I was told to stop recording him, because it made people uncomfortable. This is the first for me and it killed my vibe so I left. I dont think Ill be going back there ever again. I was disappointed.

Great nightclub, but if I pay for bottle service, why cant the server bring me drinks from the bar other than the bottle I bought? The whole point of bottle service is to have a table and a server. But if the server cant do anything but pour drinks out of the one bottle, then its kind of pointless. I would have given for stars if not for this dumb policy.Update: the management reached out to me and was very accommodating. Im happy to change their rating based on the great customer service.

One of the best club out there. Love the atmosphere and the vibe!!

I dont favor hip hop music, but the DJ was amazing and the people where really fun, cant wait for the next party

Garbage place. Have $5 shots on fridays but they’re tiny, like 1/3 the shot at a normal bar. You try to leave out the back some ugly Asian guy comes after you asking why you shoved him away from the exit door, looking for a fight. Yea buddy come to me and get a lead salad. Lucky he had friends to pull him back. Dummy

We went with a group of friends last night, we paid 20 each to go In and spent around 300 in just alcohol about an hour and half after we went in they pulled our whole group out the club and kicked us out, they said that someone in our group had done something at the bar. Before all that happened the bar tender which I didnt get his name but I know he is Hispanic was rude to us, he saw me standing there for 15 mi minutes and proceeded to help everyone else but me and my group. We asked for a refund because we found it unfair that they kicked us out without even getting the story from our friends. They said they couldnt issue a refund. Very bad customer service and honestly feels like we stuck out like a sore thumb because we didnt look like everyone else in the club.

Had an amazing time with my girls! Michael was really helpful made the whole bottle service process super easy and Nysia was amazing! very friendly took very good care of us. Definitely recommend it. ( Also forgot to mention bottle prices are really good compared to other clubs Ive been to)

This is a great place! The best nightlife spot in Mountain View and one of the top 3 in the bay area. We luv going here. Its an upscale place (they adhere to the dress code) with always a great friendly and diverse crowd. We always enjoy going here. Extra helpful bar staff and VIP staff, friendly security, all staff there are polite. Various DJs thruout the month. We wont hesitate to continue going back!

We reserved the private area upstairs at Opal on a Friday night and had a great time! Our group was able to relax and drink in our own space and then head downstairs to the dance floor. The music is hip hop and top 40s - right up my alley! Rachel Hart hosted us and did an amazing job! Ill definitely be back with my friends for a good time in downtown Mountain View!

I recently celebrated my birthday at Opal and it was beyond amazing. The whole staff and the beautiful girls helping us out all night went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. Definitely should get bottle service for any type of celebration. You won’t regret it!

1. Bartenders are unfamiliar with many common cocktails: midori sour missing midori and cherries, Adios missing blue Curaçao, Malibu sunset missing cherries and low rum to juice ratio. 2. Drinks cost between $9-18 each but very weak. 3. Music mostly old hip hop/odd transitions, no EDM. Overall, vibe of patrons: standoffish and unfriendly. Club decor OK, small crowd for a Sat night but that might be covid.

I had a bad experience here. Theres no seating if you havent reserved a table. Though the tables were empty, they kicked our group out because I needed to sit and they wouldnt let me sit anywhere. The drinks were also pretty average

The dj SUCKED, my first time going here, i was looking forward to dancing and the DJ sucked. Does not know how mix songs, does not know how to sustain a good dance flow. Thinking you are getting ready to let loose and dance and he switches the tempo. Very disappointed. No wonder every where else has a line to get this place doesnt.

This is a cool place for a night party, seems to be pretty safe and music is just about fine. Heard the music scene for better earlier but its very subjective but everything else is good. Right pricing, right ambience.

Have gotten bottle service a few times over the last 12 months, I go to the City a lot and also to Vegas, have to say the service Ive gotten at Opal surpasses them all!! Some of the friendliest hostesses in the Bay Area, and excellent music to boot!. Highly recommend to anyone trying to do something special for a special someone....or just looking for a girls or guys night out.

I loved their Saturday DJ, was playing all known pop number both old and new. Patio smoking was good as we didn’t had to walk out all the time, drinks are bit on pricy side.

TERRIBLE MUSIC! CANNOT DANCE TO Definitely a club for older crowd. Im 24 and did not have fun at all. DJ legit went from cardi Bs song to We will rock you to rockstar within 30 seconds...

If I could give this place a negative star, I would! My husband and I went to this club on a Saturday (10/1) and was treated with the most disrespect and not only the owner but by his security staff as well. My husband and I were turned away based on the fact that he had a tattoo on his neck and without out further explanation of just, the tattoo on his neck. I proceeded to ask the security why is that a problem and he couldnt give me a reason. They were very rude and disrespectful for no apparent reason. My husband had been racially profiled before we even got into the line. I heard the one security tell his counterpart, nope, not him. I asked the head of security to speak to the owner, and I was told that he was on there, which was a blatant lie. My husband then points out that there is the owner right there, a mere, 30 seconds after I was told a boldfaced lie that he was not there tonight. I immediately approached the owner and said excuse me, sir, can I speak to you for a second? My husband and I have been here before, and now we are being told we can not get in because of his tattoo. Is there any reason why he cant get into the club? He is in dress code and has been inside before. With that being said he vaguely respond in a dismissive way I dont know, ask my head of my security and turned his back to me to finish out his conversation. Which in my opinion was extremely rude. I approached this man in a very respectful way. They solely based the reason of not allowing my husband in because of his tattoo. We were both in dress code, looking very well and we are both two hard working people. He was racially profiled, humiliated and disrespected solely based on his looks and being an African American man in Mountain View! The treatment that we received was unwarranted. I then asked the security guard what does having a tattoo on your next equate to, troublemaker, drug dealer, the terrorist? What does it mean? It was not a tattoo of a gang sign or anything derogatory but a tattoo of our child! My thoughts were, so everyone in this club has ZERO tattoos. Meanwhile, someone comes to the door from inside of the club with tattoo up the front of his next (white male, might I add). I pointed him out, and then the security proceeded to ignore the blatantly evident that there is some on inside of the club with a tattoo on his neck. So I guess there was an exception to the rule (not being of color). Lastly, while we stood there to let our friends no that we would not be joining their party the security goes on to say this is Mountain View so they should know whats up That was a very racial and offensive comment to say to people of having visited your establishment before. My husband and I will not be returning to this club let alone the city of Mountain View since this is how they roll. Very disheartening experience based on all of the hate going on in America today! So if you were to ask us if we would recommend this club to any of your friends my response would be HELL NO!

Amazing DJs, staff is always super nice and the crowd cant be beat. Definitely an awesome place for a girls night since the crowd is clean and respectful and the bar tenders know how to make original drinks.

Nice event space that can hold a hundred or more. Can get a bit loud and host live music. Really appreciated this venue for a corporate event and get together. Nice options for standing or sitting.

I didnt love this place, mainly because they are not sure if they want to be a pub, club or a restaurant. Theres all three, and the crowd isnt great. Drinks are average - not great, not terrible. Nothing makes me want to go back.

Cover was $5.Overall club is OK, but loudspeakers definitely needs to be replaced, as sound was awful.DJ was bad, and the most annoying person was photographer, who used flashlight a lot.

Michael and his staff was super friendly, very attentive and made sure we were all taken care of. We booked the upstairs room and it was plenty of space for a party of 20-30 people.

First time going to a club in cali. It was a nice experience. Entrance fee was $5. The DJs played a mixture of music such as edm, top 40, r & b, and hip hop.

They were supposed to close at 2am, instead of that they closed at 1.15am and we came in at 1am. So they made us pay $20 for 15min. Awful experience and the music sucks.EDIT: To answer the owner reply (below), we paid $20 as a group, not $20 each. But its still high for the time we could stay inside.

We hired SF Mixology for a team building event that was hosted at Opal. The space was beautiful and very accommodating. They contracted out food that we absolutely delicious and my employees loved the experience.

They are not following any COVID protocols. The staff was not helpful at all in ensuring that COVID protocols are followed. I would highly suggest not going here anytime soon. Not helpful staff. They are neither checking for Vaccination cards nor ensuing masks

Pretty fun spot. There is an outdoor area. The music was good and there was a nice atmosphere. The drinks were also pretty reasonable.

Went for Diwali Celebration through eventbrite ticket, had really bad experience with the Lady who check the ticket in the entrance, she tries maximum to reject free ticket and collect money, she scold people in front of others to create scene, so people will pay immediately , she ill-treat desis so bad...

I feel like you can’t be the deadest club I’ve ever seen and still afford to enforce the gender binary (no shorts on guys??) but good luck I guess

No COVID protocol was followed. On top of that the security is very white centric for the majority of Mtn View I suggest going to Monte Carlo over this white centric spot. Good luck!!!

Amazing crowd, great people. Dance floor is not too crowded unlike the near by pubs. Music is decent

Came to celebrate a friends birthday and OPAL did not disappoint, the server was very friendly and attentive, sadly I dont remember her name but if I see her working I will stop by.

Its good ambience, good drinks, however its dead as anything on weekends, like you want to party but the vibe is dead. Its not packed like a club should be

Nice place, Attended Indian Independence day Celebration, music was little boring, but dance floor was good and had nice time with Friends

I did have an unfortunate experience at this club, but appreciate Michael’s swift and appropriate response to the situation, as well as the kind bartenders and management staff. For them, I am updating my review!

Great venue for good drinks good music and great service and a friendly staff. The offer free cover on the list, drink specials and a $1 Yelp check in drink.

Worst management!!We got the NYE tickets to enter at 10PM. Its already past 11 PM and we are still waiting in the line.Date and timeFri, Dec 31, 2021, 10:00 PM -Sat, Jan 1, 2022, 1:30 AM PSTLocationLocationOpal Event Center and Social Club251 Castro StreetMountain View, CA 94041

Disappointed that bought tickets in advance and still had to queue a long time to get in but its a great venue, I enjoyed there music and vibe

My favorite hangout spot! :) They do a great job of keeping the place safe and the music is always the best.

Very sparsely crowded on a Saturday. DJ wasnt so good. They dont charge cover fee between 9.30 and 10.30. Other than that nothing too good about it.

The perfect nightclub. Nothing is off about this place since new management. I highly suggest it for nightlife and even work parties. Good Private events too!

If you like dance this is definitely place for you. Great music. Great DJ. Great atmosphere.

It was a pretty great place to go with friends.Also the bottle service was great and the staff made it even better. 🍻

Met here as a part of a Meetup. Amazing music , great bar! Had a great time !

Fabulous nightclub.. drinks are bit expensive. Crowd was superb. Must go

Came in early and got in for free. Good music, drink prices are a bit high but was expecting as much.

Cool club feels like Arena, needs AC

Back bar and alley allow for intimate moments

Decent spot. Dancefloor isnt too huge. Womens bathroom is upstairs.

Good place for drinks and to hang out with friends, DJs are pretty good but nothing spectacular.

Very nice place my name is fnu sheharyar i start comming here from last 2 month very nice manager and this secuirty incharge billy faresi dont know his name but hes from san jose and very nice guy always smiling thanks

Stay away from this bar.. I ordered tequila but the bar tender gave me water And they charge me $50 for two shots tequila. I was complaining about that, and they kicked me out of the bar.. Never go back there

I like it , I will say was better months ago, but idk just my humble opinion.

The music is terrible, but the atmosphere is buzzing on weekend nights.

An excellent place to party amidst the busy Mountain view.

Best night club in mountain view, enjoyed a lot..

Doesnt have the same vibe you would find in similar clubs at Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.

A very nice event space. Had a great time.

Its nice club bt u guys should paly sm trans also..

It closed at 1:20, very bad bouncers, it ruined a great night

Its a nice place to hang on a Saturday night

Very nice barman :) friendly atmosphere :)

Good music but not many people

Little too crowded probably because it was Bollywood night yesterday.

An ok place to go dancing at

An average nightclub .Edit to the owners response: thats true actually. Changed the review to one star.

Great ambiance and super nice staff

The place is not bad but the staff is rude. Not cool.

They have a nice connect 4 set.

Music good but not the crowd...

Ok place. Didnt stay long. Mostly tech people.

The music is good but way too loud.

Excellent staff and great location in downtown Mountain View.

Prepare to wait outside if u want to get in...

I would give 4.5 stars but that is not an option :(

I would give 0 star if that was an option

Great music, great people, great place!

Love the Opal for our Ladies Night Out!

Literally all guys and some guy being hauled off by an ambulance outside. Gross.

I always have fun here!

Waste of time and security also very bad and worst behaviour

Great music amazing time
