This theater-turned-club is a decent place to spend a night if you’re looking for a night out. I came here for their Independence Day weekend and had a good time with the music, but some of the staff are downright rude. Don’t get me wrong, some (most?) of the staff are very kind and are more than happy to help you with a smile, but a rotten apple can spoil the bunch. One of the bartenders I interacted with refused to give me a cup of just ice because my friend was breaking out in hives for fear that we were going to pour our own liquor from a flask. We had been buying drinks all night so there was no reason to suspect this. Another bartender was happy to help my friend out. The security staff are almost all rude. I get it, they have a job to do and have to play a persona. However, they really kill the mood when they walk around with a grumpy face pushing patrons out of their way. Additionally, when it was 1:45am (scheduled to end at 2:00am) they basically told the DJs to shut off their music very promptly without warning to give them time to wrap it up. Just cut the music and then they started telling people “get out.” And then when we left the building and were on public property and sidewalks, they kept telling people to go home like they had any right to tell us what we could and could not do on public property. Get off your power trip. Even the cops were just standing by and didn’t tell people to move like they did. Would I come back? Sure, but I can imagine their staff putting off patrons from returning with a sour taste.

WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE !! I went to the yost theatre for the first time & definitely my LAST !! Ok first of all me and my friend were so excited to see BORGORE .. It was a girls night out for us .. Weve had a pretty stressful month so this way our night to have "Fun". We were completely caught off guard when the female security looks at us as were standing in line and said. "You need to be wearing pants" I looked around and seen plenty of girls wearing short shorts ! So I literally pointed at the girl she was about to search and said "you just let her in & she has shorts on?" I guess mine were too "short" for her liking .. Im thinking "omg is this foreal?" I felt like something from high school .. Dress code for girls at a night club ?? How lame !!! They let us in because i made a huge deal which was really annoying to me !! My last complaint would be , they literally dont care about packed it is .. Theyll keep letting ppl inside for their benefit .. It was so packed nobody could even DANCE everyone was PRETTTY much elbowing each other it looked like something crazy was going to happen .. like a fight , we left early and never going back

One thing I like about The Yoast Theater is that you can actually take your drinks outside and chill if it gets too hot inside. And trust, you will want to get some air outside since it gets so stuffy inside. The drinks here are strong. Not gonna lie, on my first visit here when I went to go watch John OCallohan perfom, I dont remember anything. Seriously. I think I remember jumping up and down singing along to one song and the rest is pretty much a blank. And Im a tank too. The drinks are a bit pricey though, so thats a bummer. The bartenders are awesome though. Get on a guestlist so you dont have to pay before 10:30. Its $20 after that.

The Yost Theater is by far one of the best edm spots in oc right now! Lights are so amazing here!! sound is def thumping!! both combined make for an epic night!... however, it can get over crowded & when it does - it becomes difficult to have a good time. i think they have been working on this tho bc last time i was there for nye it was pretty decent, but maybe thats bc i stayed away from the main dance floor? i think if they learn to manage capacity well then this spot will be a favorite for a long time. Ive already spread the word to my friends to come check out the place. finally a club to be proud of in the oc.

Kicked out my budies in less then 5 min, refused to give me my money back. Place was dirty everywhere it smelt like piss and I saw soo many kids with vodca in water bottles, and the place reaked of weed one of the security people where smoking in side ran from me to some back room when I asked for a hit, all in all the worst place I been, this not a club this a wanna be club, sound system sucked too sounded blown and fuzzy... Ironically the women in the club where lame to, we partied at the taco truck out front saw hotter women, got smoked. Id say save your self $20 and party out front the club

It a very good place to go have ever fun with your friend music is good place is not to bad but the securities are a little up tight they seem to kick people out for very little reason for the price of admission sometimes is a little high for just to be asked to leave. I Havent been asked to leave personally but Ive seen it happen to often to my friends. So if your planning to go there just try to ovoid any contact with security.

I see a lot of bad reviews for this spot, but my experience the night of 6/23/16 was nothing short of excellent. I got there around 9:15 and it only took 5 minutes to get through the line. The staff (security & bartenders) were great. The sound system was on par, and overall cleanliness of the joint was fine.. And if you get hungry, try the burger : ). All-in-all would return gladly. Good job, Yost!

This place was dead on a Saturday night! On top of that I had to pay $20 just to go in there and see nobody else. Do yourself a favor and dont go to there, go to a club in Hollywood or something and actually have a good time but hey if youre looking for a place to be by yourself and think about why Im wasting my life and my money here then please go to the yost

Went to see hard core punk band from Mexico. Long wait time to get in. Expected to be crowded inside. However it was just perfect amount of people. Lay out of the floor is great for people who want to go in the pit and those who just want to observe from a near area. Has a lounge for people to enjoy some snacks and relax. Great place

Thought Id give this venue a second try some years later, dont think Ill go to any shows here unless some major reconfiguration goes on. Same issues: awful floor plan, sub par audio quality, filled past capacity. Floor plan wouldnt be as bad if they didnt over sale the shows. Security and staff we stearn, but polite.

I like their line ups BUT i hate how its friggin crowded in there! Getting in takes forever unless youre vip. The main entrance to the dance floor is dumb because you have to walk all the way toward the front of the stage to get in (which is an issue if the DJ is already there). Drinks took forever to get.... ugh
