An anonymous OCThen reader asks if anyone remembers The Basement, a dance club in the Orange Circle...
Does anyone remember a dance/disco place called The Basement? It was located in the Orange Circle? I can remember my sisters getting dressed up in either their satin pants or chemin de fer jeans and satin jackets and going down there. Hilarious!

  • I wonder if that is the same place that we used to dance at around 83-85? I thought it was called 'The Circle' I remember having the best times there as a 16 year old.

  • I remember that it was called Circle City! It was on the second floor, so definitely not the basement. We also used to go to Cloud Nine & Studio K at Knotts Berry Farm and Nightscape, a club where Main Place is now.

  • I had the best times at Circle City. I also remember Nightscape. Dang that was a long time ago. What about Club Post Nuclear in Laguna Beach? The building still stands, I think it is a restaurant now?

  • I so remember the basement - saw Martha Davis (Motels) there...wish it was still there so others could enjoy.

  • Yes, I remember "The Basement"! I remember always seeing the sign down at the Orange Circle. Wasn't the sign in black with red letters? I never did go there.

  • Every Friday & Saturday night was spent at Circle City from 1980-82. Also, does anyone remember Ichabods in Fullerton, or Noah's Ark in Long Beach. A great club for the under 21 crowd. I also went to Cloud Nine at Knotts Berry Farm. I met my husband there and we've now been married 25 years.(Boy, now I feel old.)

  • Yes! Another Circle City, Nightscape, Cloud 9/Fiesta Village, The Kingdom alumni member here... Then when we turned 21 it was off to L.A & Hollywood clubs; Ariel, Dirtbox, Alice's House, Scream, Ground Zero...

  • Circle City rocked... there were the mods, the Teds (rockabilly) and the New Romantics.. It was the coolest all ages club in OC. We also went to "The Kingdon" in Buena Park and would go up for some LA fun at the 321 Club, Florentine Gardens... fun times
