Great place to hear good music!

by dkimball22 at Citysearch

Great spot to see good music. Staff has been totally replaced. Almost like they wiped the canvas clean and started over. Beautiful decor. The sound in this place is great. BANDS you would love it here.

Look forward to coming back again and again.

• Pros: Great space, No expensive door cover, good non rowdy crowd.

Hello everyone. I'm part of the new managements staff that has taken over AURA since the end of December(08). I have personally taken the time to read all the past reviews of AURA. I'm pleased to inform you all that we have a new management team, security staff, bar staff, bottle service staff and a whole new lineup of Club Promotions beginning this April. I understand everyones view on our venue from the past and we have taken large steps to alter that view.

We want you all to enjoy your experience at AURA, not dread it. I want you to feel safe and secure with our new security staff, have your drinks properly and promptly made by our new bar staff, be well attended by our attractive bottle service staff, respected by management and Club Promotions that make you want to come back for more.

If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them for you.

Thank you and have a good evening,

Chris

• Pros: A new staff and club promotions

worst place ive ever been to in my entire life

by samw0426 at Citysearch

bartenders unfriendly, drinks expensive, bartenders jerks, bathrooms disgusting, bottle service rediculously overpriced for a club in the VALLEY, even on a night where the promotion was good and the place was packed, which is rare, AURA proved to be aweful.

• Pros: none
• Cons: alot

Phenomenally Bad

by CinnerJ at Citysearch

This was flat out the worst experience I have ever had at a bar or restaurant. Server got the following wrong: 3 drink orders (beers, not mixed drinks), 2 sandwich orders, and took 3 hours (from 7pm-10:15pm) to bring the order out. No managers to be found, obnoxiosly complacent employees, long lines, and incredibly overpriced menu items.

If you want a true taste of Hollywood transplanted up in the Valley, here it is. Save yourself the misery of this terrible establishment and find a local Irish pub or some other bar that isn't so obsessed with their image that they forgot how to simply please the customer.

• Pros: Trendy Hollywood Scene
• Cons: Just about everything else you could imagine; terrible all around!

NO WAY!!

by clubraters at Citysearch

This place does not even deserved a star. Long line to get in, rude bouncers, ganster mentality, way overpriced at $20.00 a head, expensive drinks, poor ventilation, expensive valet, and the crowd it attracts are kids waiting to pick a fight. I do not recommend this place whatsoever. Only good thing about this place was a DJ that belongs in a better club.

• Pros: DJ
• Cons: Everything else

trying too hard

by famousblueraincoat at Citysearch

only went here once b/c i felt like they were trying to hard to do the hollywood thing. c'mon! it's very cheesy. but they are using it for non dance nights now like singles events and concerts, which might have more potential since there are a dearth of new live music venues in the area.

Terriable!!

by belllaitalian at Citysearch

The WORST PLACE I have ever been. I read all the reviews before I went to this club last night and I should have known better than to stil go. A $20 dollar cover us way overpriced for this place, the first drinks we bought were vodka cran. $14 dollars for straight up cranberry juice. The bar manager made these drinks, after I complained about the drinks (Ive been in the resturant industry for four years) there was no compensation. The D.J. played the same five songs over for the two and half hours I was there., I think he only has one mix cd. This place was more than disappointing and MANAGMEMNT NEEDS to STEP IT UP!!! This is unacceptable to provide service like that. I understand this industry and my resturant/club prides itself on GREAT COCKTAILS, FOOD and SERVICE! Please save yourself the waste of time and money and go some where else. DO NOT GO TO AURA!!!!!

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: EVERYTHING!!!!

Great sound and strong drinks

by jackobi at Citysearch

Went to check out some bands at this place and I was blown away by the incredible sound. The bartender was hot and wasn't afraid to make my Jack and Coke nice and strong.

I look forward to jamming there again soon!

• Pros: Great sound
• Cons: Hard to find

Ok....

by nrq19 at Citysearch

Nice surroundings...Good music. But if you encounter the wicked witch of the West behind the bar....ASK for a new bartender!!!! She was so rude! I found out when I complained that I was one of hundreds! She is one of the "managers"...So nothing has come of the complaints yet. But I hope they fire her SOOOOON!

• Pros: The nice bouncers
• Cons: The beast behind the bar.....
