Ember Cafe and Music Club

I have been to clubs all across the United States and several other countries. I was so excited to see there was a club opening just a mile from my home in Anaheim. However, what I experienced was perhaps the worst club ever ran. I say ran because the club is built and decorated nicely and has nice looking latina women. Unfortunaetly, that's all this place has going on. To start this club has the worst parking situation and security. The security guards all look like a bunch of hoodlums, seriously ghetto'd out dudes. All have bad attitudes. Anyways, these hoods surround the club and streets that surround it and force you to park in the valet. Even on public streets 3 away from the club. I even saw a man getting harrassed across Anaheim Blvd who was just parking at his house and the security guard was telling him he couldn't park there. You have to tuck your shirt in, even though everyone un tucks the shirt once inside. The cover is $20 which is ridiculous for a place like this. Sutr... Read more

ok ok i've been here twice and it's not that bad as you ppl say. If you're going to a club, you might go and expect to spend money.....otherwise, just turn on your radio and dance in your room. :) bout the valet parking, i think it's convenience......you don't have to go looking for your car!!! Another thing, if you are complaining bout no place to sit.......if you're going to a club to dance, you don't need a place to sit.

This place is small parking is horrible and everyone that works here are rude dont ever go to this place you will regret it!!!

On top of the forced valet service that has you walk 2 blocks just to get to the club, the dance floor is incredibly crowded and to sit down anywhere besides the toilet you have to get bottle service, So ladies wear very comfortable shoes! The overcrowding makes it super hot and sticky especially upstairs. The music is mainly hip hop top 40s with some salsa upstairs.....not much variation. To top it off.....and although i hate to say this....the people going there are trying way too hard to be cool. At one point i felt as if I was in a sea of short 21 year olds who felt cool for finally being able to buy a drink Overall, people just didn't fit the building

This location has countless of Bad reviews on the latimes, club planet, yelp, and citysearch. I wish I would have read them before going. Not listed on the Yellow Pages. Mapquest and my navigating system could not find the place. A recorded message claims them to be "? at the corner of Anaheim Blvd. and Lincoln Ave." They are actually between Lincoln and Sycamore St. on Sycamore St.?s block. Bouncers on every side and corner of the clubs perimeter.YOU HAVE TO PARK VALET otherwise you will NOT get in. I felt like I was surrounded by the Men In Black... lol. Reservations are NOT GUARANTEED even with a confirmation call. Preference is given to those who PAID for bottle service. If you don't buy, forget it... unless you flash your money you are not getting attended. Moreover, bottle service requires you to purchase 1 bottle per group of 6. My boyfriends? friend had to pay a total of $150 which included entrance. So, if your party is not a multiple of 6 you?re screwed..... Read more

Starts with a valet hustle of how you have to valet to get in, the parking lot across the street is a business complex as well as the Auto zone next door. They say the Anaheim police require them to park your car. Liar! Scam/ Hustle. I have been there before but always valet my car but this time had stuff I did not want stolen or have to pack up in the trunk. I parked next door after hours and was hassled by Tom the valet Manager what a Loser! I also noticed that if you knew Tom that the rules did not apply to everyone. Because some of us had to pay to park some were ok'd by Tom. Not to mention these fools want you to just about park your won car 60 feet from the entrance! The place has no where to sit and enjoy your drink unless you rent a sofa for the evening called bottle service never mind the 9 bucks for a drink chugg it and dance or stand. I have been there 3 times and the last two I was uncertain if it was me or just a bad night. But after this 3rd time I am not going bac... Read more

FYI, Im just a bartender at Ember, but Id like to respond to the parking situation. The city of Anaheim did not really want a new bar/nightclub in the devoloping downtown area where Ember was finally built. With this, they allowed us to open, dependant on our ability to enhance the neighborhood, and not become another bar/nightclub that acts irresposibly and irritates the neighborhood by adding to drinking related crimes, and noise which a lot of bars/nightclubs do. We respect families, neighborhoods, and our city. Part of us controlling that is by having a HUGE (300 car capacity) parking lot, and requiring all customers to valet. It is for the quality of the neighborhood, and City of Anaheim (which is doing a great job of creating a vibrant "work, eat, play" downtown). Considering valet is only $6.00 (quite cheap for valet), and that we sub-contract a valet company where none of their employees are on our payroll, Ember is NOT making hardly any money, if any, on each car that is park...

Parking is lousy at this place either you park a block away or you have to wait in line to valet. The line to get in takes for ever even when the club is empty, even the line for bottle service took too long, The place inside looked amazing, very trendy, and it had good DJs. The drinks were moderately priced. What I did like was that you could go upstairs to another dance floor with different music. The bouncers were nice but the bartenders and other employees seemed ticked-off.

Literally, as soon as I parked my can on the street I noticed that an "a hole" not gentlemen radioed someone and as soon as I approached the Club I was told that it was a NO parking zone. Sorry but I?m not an idiot and I know Anaheim?s city parking regulations. It?s more of a money scheme. I would have had it parked valet but the line was too long and what $6 dollars isn?t going to hurt. To be sincere after this incident I didn?t want to look back and give this Club any of my and my party?s money. Too bad our intentions were to get Bottle service but after this incident I truly don?t recommend this club at all. More than anything, Music and drinks are good at most of the clubs in the area. NEVER AGAIN on a SAT. Night!!!!! These lady?s are going elsewhere. Do the math.... where do you get more profit? At the bar or Valet?

Would have had a better review if I had the opportunity to go in. You are basically forced to valet park. They have employees guarding adjacent public street parking and telling people that they have an agreement with neighbors to not let club goers park on the street. We did not see any signs requiring special parking permits and saw their valet employees parking cars on the very streets we were told not to park. We left very disappointed.

We came here and got in for free because we got there before 1030. They made us pay for the valet parking ($5) which was actually a little a...

I came here with couple of my buddies. The atmosphere is so so and there is wi-fi. The seats are average and so are the tables. The coffee...

this was a fun place to go and eat, very inspriational and very insightful. i loved the food and cant wait to go back.

This place was great, we went for my cousins b-day and had a blast. The servise was great except the girl that charges at the door, that won't brake a smile, she was not nice at all. Love the fact that they care about what people wear, it makes it upscale so that getto people don't get in and start trouble. If you're out of town this place is for you. Just try to get there at 9:30 and you don't have to pay the full price($20). Great music and great drinks=0)

Place is awesome!! Hottest crew in town! Bottle service suggested and you'll be the popular table all night! trick to get in with no wait is mention you want to go to the cafe half an hour before the club opens. The food is great something you wouldn't expect from a nightclub and presentation is very gourmet esk. Friendly servers and staff makes you feel like a highroller!! Dress to impress!!!

Yo, Club was tight. Hot women, great atmosphere and good music. The service was helpful and the drinks were good. This is a a coo club in the OC. Check it out.
