This 22,000-square-foot megaclub is the sister venue to Circus Disco. Arena's warehouse-like interior offers a flurry of laser lights and a back-breaking sound system that rivals its nightclub neighbor. The upstairs is split into two smaller rooms, which feature hip-hop and salsa. Local legends like Christopher Lawrence and DJ Irene supply house and techno beats. Once a notorious underground scene for young gay men and their straight girlfriends, it's now primarily a pickup spot.
