Aria Sky Terrace & Lounge

Nice place... it's trying to be a big city bar, which it succeeds at when it comes to decor.  There are two stories plus a nice little rooftop area. There are no lines like the hottest clubs in LA or Vegas and the dress code keeps the patrons mostly classy. However,  the dance floor had a noticeable lack of energy on the Friday night that I went. What's really nice is the you can move freely from Aria to MUSICBAR SUSHI next door, which has a sushi bar, drink bar and the DJ spins mostly 90's hip-hop.

Aria is my uber favorite club when I'm visiting my hometown. It's a gorgeous modern place where you have to dress nicely to get in, act classy to stay in, and patronize their bartenders to get out. Great mix of music to dance to, delis drinks, and gorgeous people!

The first floor is a dance and meeting space. The second floor is a lounge that overlooks some of the dance floor downstairs. The rooftop lets you take in a bit of the Corpus bay and downtown. There is a smoking/cigar area behind the dance space on the first floor.

The problems that exists there are: pricey drinks (which is why I took down a star), and it doesn't get crowded until 11 p.m. or even midnight (which is not something I entirely blame on Aria). Come on people! Let's go dancing!!!

I agree with the other reviews of this place. You do get that Miami/Vegas vibe when you come here but for me, only the roof top gave me that vibe. This place has 3 party sections: The Dance floor which is the first floor, 2nd floor had more of a bar/lounge vibe, and my favorite, the roof top. You have a great view of downtown Corpus Christi, another DJ set, two bars, and tables if you plan to do bottle service. I do however give a 3 STAR on drink prices. A bit too pricey for me. If you want to save a little money on drinks I suggest go back downstairs and head to stereo bar which is next door and get drinks at that bar.

I was in a t-shirt, khaki shorts and loafers so was a bit skeptical about being up to dress code but the door guy let me in. However I did feel a bit underdressed because all the guys were wearing nice jeans and a button up.
