Arena Lounge

Terrible experience. I came here because I was invited for this girl’s birthday who was having bottle service and hookah. However, since we got there after 12, the lady at the front entrance of the club said we had to pay 20 $ for cover charge and $ 5 for coat check. Screw that. She had such a nasty attitude as well. Lady, you’re like 38 years old working the front entrance of a club. Get a career and a life. She just ruined my night. The birthday girl told me that Omar said we can get in for free because we were paying for bottle service and hookah. However, this lady was saying we still had to pay cover charge. On top of that, the valet parking was fucking $ 20 also. This place and rain should go out of business fucking gross. The area is gross and so are the clubs. They should go out of business. I rather listen to pandora at home.

A great lounge to get your tipico on! If your in the mood to get your groove on to some (Dominican/​Caribean Latin music) bachata, merengue, reggaeton, dembow, pico ripiao, and a splash of house music then this is the place for you. Like some of the other reviewers mentioned, there is no set dance floor. You dance where there is space. There is bottle service, and hookah available if that’s your thing. They typically have live bands perform past 12am, mostly tipico, pico ripiao, and merengue performers. I’ve seen Johnny Polanco here live before and it was super packed, hardly anyone could dance!
My biggest gripe with this place is there cover charge, 20+ every weekend. Because of this I’d never go there on a spontaneous whim, it always has to be planned out. Either get there super early before the cover begins (typically by 1130pm to be on the safe side), or start contacting the right people to get you on the list for the night to intended to visit.
Make sure to dress to the nines, when it comes to lounge/​club fashion; Dominicans don’t play ;P

Arena is the spot for «tipico» parties (Dominican style parties). I’m Colombian and I personally can’t get enough. So if you’re Dominican you will defiantly enjoy this place. The only thing I dislike about this place is the interior set up, they don’t have one specific area for a dance floor so to dance is literally in any spot you can find. Other than that I loveeee the bottle girls the hookah is good as well. Btw: do make reservations before hand and make sure u explain what kind you would like (VIP, table, couch). One time I made reservations without asking anything and they put me in a birthday package where I had to buy $ 300 worth of liquor and it was only me and 4 other people –_​-​. Fortunately there were three tables left where we could switch but it wasn’t how I planned the night to be.
