Editorial Review for House of Blues Anaheim – by Patrick Green
The Scene
A key aspect of the HOB's popularity has been its ability to capture the irresistible charm and eclectic, down-home look of its Southern roots. This version is no different, with a jambalaya mix of innate artwork and a realistic down-on-the-Delta configuration that's part saloon, playhouse and church. It's a smaller, more intimate version than the L.A. HOB, offering a decent-sized dance floor, numerous full bars, a restaurant serving soul-food classics, an outdoor lounge upstairs and an outdoor patio downstairs. Although the picturesque spot is a treat, the best thing HOB has to offer is its amazing sound system that draws the best in all music genres.
The Draw
It's behind the Orange curtain and on Disney's land so don't expect the vibe to be as funky and slick as its Sunset Strip sibling. But the crowd should be somewhat hip and stylish in an O.C.-super-casual kind of way.

Insider Tips
When to GoHOB offers up special events like Sunday Gospel Brunch, special club nights (SIN on random Sundays; Club Crasher on Mondays).
Save TimeIf you're having a hard time getting tickets for a show at the Sunset Strip HOB, try Anaheim. Most artists play both L.A. and the O.C. and the drive is only 45 minutes.
Where to SitSmokers have a choice here: light up on the downstairs outdoor patio or the upstairs outdoor lounge.

Went to see Foreigner. Paid $52.00 and left early. Security very rude upon entry; Supervisor told me he must be "Having a bad day." Yeah right Went upstairs and the only available seating was round wooden barstools. View of band was completely blocked . The big screens used to show the band playing need to be replaced. Color bad, picture fuzzy. Total nightmare. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Pros: none
Cons: are you kidding? Too much to list

We had a horrible time at this restaurant. The hosts had bad attitude, they were unfriendly and were very unprofessional toward guests. We were told that the wait would be an hour long but it ended up over an hour an a half. Then when it was finally our turn, they made us stand on the side and kept on saying they were getting our table ready, so we waited for like 15 more minutes then they told us they made a mistake and said there was no table ready for us. Finally after a two hours wait we finally got a table. The food was only ok. I didn't think the food was worthed for the price. I will definitely not going back to this restaurant, and I will never recommend this place to anyone!
