COMMISSARY 2.0

The friendly and attentive staff—from hosts to bartenders—contributes to a welcoming atmosphere, while the sound system and DJ selection deliver a mix of contemporary and nostalgic tracks, ensuring a dynamic dance experience. The venue’s clean, well-maintained layout and occasional arcade games add to its modern appeal, though parking can be tight.
While drink prices reflect the premium experience, the overall ambiance remains inviting, balanced by occasional quirks like rapid song transitions.

Came here for my brother’s 30th birthday and we bought bottle/table service. I’m an operations manager here for a Restaurant & ultra lounge here in Vegas and I really appreciate coming to a venue like this where the staff were so kind and friendly. From the girl door host at the front to the cocktail servers, bartenders, and the security guards… we had such a great experience because of the friendly Staff! The DJ played great music which I can actually dance too! I’m personally not a fan of EDM music but the DJ played all the right songs including the jams that I used to dance to back in the day lol. Thank you guys for a great time and keep up the great customer service!
The place is def a younger crowd, like 20s. Drinks are expensive lol, but the hip hop music is good and the dance floor is fairly big.
The layout of the club, sound system, drink pricing, and pretty much everything about this place is fantastic. the only reason I can't give it five stars is that they appear to be constantly burning an absurd amount of incense. I've burned plenty of incense over time for various reasons and I was choking most of the time I was there.
Nice venue! Bartenders were friendly and atmosphere was appropriate. Place was clean and well maintained. Parking was challenging. Drinks were expensive but the cost of running a business isn't cheap so I get it. There's a room with some outdated arcade games where a few pool tables would be a better fit.
Nothing memorable about this place and mostly a waste of time. Overall the club scene in Irvine leaves a lot to be desired. Commissary 2.0 is no different DJ is decent and not too bad but the music wasn't anything great either. DJ can't seem to read the crowd either. Security: Polite so maybe they changed their security policy recently cause I did not run into any rude military style security mentioned in some older reviews. Drinks are a bit over priced but also not too bad. Parking is literally non existent so just take an Uber The Crowd: 99% Asian (Chinese) 0% Asian (Other) 0% Hispanic / Latin 1% Other Dance clubbing in general around Irvine: 1) Check that there is a crowd outside before going in cause it might be dead inside but they charge you anyway. 2) Check the demographic composition of the crowd outside as a reflection of what's inside. If that's not your crowd then go somewhere else. 3) Listen to the DJ for a bit. If they can't even do a basic criss fade and match BPM don't bother going in. 4) Check that the music is your style too. It would appear that in Irvine Trance music mostly attracts an Asian (Chinese) crowd and almost no one else. On the other hand Latin / R&B Hip Hop attracts a more mixed crowd.
There’s a cocktail here that’s SO good, music is good, prices are fine. There’s a guy there, seems like an entitled manager because he ignores drink requests and walks away. 1. Why are you standing behind the bar doing literally nothing? 2. If you’re a manager you should lead by example and not think anything is beneath you ESPECIALLY when it comes to customer service 3. If you can’t take drink orders at least say your busy and get someone else to do it instead of just walking away or pretending you didn’t hear. The bar is full. You should know better than to just stand there.
This place is Awesome! The staff is so dope from managment, bartenders to security. They have reasonable prices for drinks! The atmosphere is Great the only issue is they plays a song for less than a min which is bothersome more so when it's a good song N it's barely starting and it gets changed and it gets done every time! Other than that the place is great for a good time!
