Alebrije Discotheque & Grill

My friends and I went on Thursday night which is designated as alternative (gay). You can get in for free before 11pm with a text message so I was glad I did not have to pay to enter this place. The layout was great a, dance floor surrounded by bar tables and booths. The only thing we were turned off by was the fact that to sit in the table/booth area you have to spend at least $125 on booze. I thought the rule was ridiculous considering the place was not full (I'd say about 100 or less and that's because someone was having a Bday there). The two male gogo dancers and one female gogo dancer were not bad looking at all. Buckets of beer were $25. DJ did a decent job with the music and the female impersonators did fine (although the show could have been more diverse). With better promotion for Thursday nights and less minimum drink rules this place could be a hit in the OC.

What to say about this place? It's a great spot to go on Friday nights! The women are beautiful and the drinks reasonably priced. This club is a Mexican club, with live a live Banda, Norteño, Sierreño, and the DJ playing all the top 40's. Make sure to be there before 10 to get special on the buckets of beer and the cover charge is less. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a good time, great music, and in love with the whole paisa scene. On a side note, the door only takes cash, so make sure to stop by an ATM before, other than that, the bar takes ATM.

My roommate and I were in the mood to drink and get freaky naughty under fog machines and disco lights. our hormones were yearning for public dry-humping sessions so we decided to go and explore Fullerton's nightlife, Alebrije is a 5 minute walk from where we live so 4 beers later we set off on our adventure.
Prior to this we had only passed by this "discotheque" and it always looked alive with drunken overweight girls wearing their little sister's skirts; hand-me-ups, I think the thought process behind this is the younger your sister is, the more cottage cheese you will strut on the dance floor, ladies: MEN LOVE THIS....0_o
Side note: According to Wikipedia,
Alebrije: are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures.
With that being said this club really only lives up to the "Mexican creatures" part of the definition.
Moving on:
We get to this place with our botas, rooster snap on long sleeves, and cap gun holsters; bouncer cards us, I'm sure he's trained to just look at the last name "Guzman, get in, Pirolito, get in, Juan Carlos De La Vera Cruz Santa Maria De Dioz En el Cielo...Come to the VIP lounge senor."
He looks at us in approval, gives us a wristband and we rage in.
I was ahead of my roommie and was pretty much in the dancefloor already motorboating my way through the crowd of Dora The Explorer Dresses when I look back and my amigo isn't there anymore, so I walk back to the entrance and I spot him talking to a REALLY old lady behind a podium...4 beers in and this guy is already going for the king cougar...I love it! So I walk up to them and he has a worrisome face, the kind you get after an ASCPA commercial.
Reason for this was that apparently this place cards you at the front and lets you in, making you feel like you have made it to the big time, then once you are actually IN the place you are greeted by my aunt who is charging you $20 to get in. My aunt was always a gold digger, and that's why she lives alone.
So we quickly decided to get out of there, it didn't seem like it was going to be worth it, I can only imagine how much the drinks were going to be, the music was Mexican banda music with Lil John and other top 40 artists thrown into the mix from time to time, but for the most part it was trumpets, accordions, 2 piece drum-sets and random farm animal sounds.
I'm sure there is fun to be had if you are into this sound, and tend to own a lot of clothes from 4th street in Santa Ana, but it just wasn't for me. Will I go back again?
Claro que NO!
