In Short – This 22,000-square-foot megaclub is the sister venue to Circus Disco. Arena's warehouse-like interior offers a flurry of laser lights and a back-breaking sound system that rivals its nightclub neighbor. The upstairs is split into two smaller rooms, which feature hip-hop and salsa. Local legends like Christopher Lawrence and DJ Irene supply house and techno beats. Once a notorious underground scene for young gay men and their straight girlfriends, it's now primarily a pickup spot. –   –

Editor's Tips

Parking:
The parking lot fills up quickly, but there's another one on Las Palmas in the $5-$7 range.
Know Before You Go:
Noche de Bandas on Sunday nights has a strictly enforced cowboy dress code--no sneakers or caps--and welcomes families, provided that anyone under 18 is accompanied by an adult.
The Extras:
Arena holds special events, from private parties to club nights. Call (323) 462-1291 for further information.
Fun Fact:
The club used to be a two-level ice factory.

THIS PLACE SUCKS.

by Justinx

It is run by shady ass people especially the owner, music sucks they play the same thing over and over again. In a bad area with a lot of hobos wondering and hollering at people. Don't waste your time. Go to somewhere nicer. TRUST ME.
