Karma Fusion Lounge

Doesn’t even deserve a star! This place is dirty, ghetto and the caliber of people are people who like to fight! I paid 20 dollars to get in ??? It’s Dublin!!! Isnt this place supposed to be classy ?? DO NOT GO! The city should shut them down!

One word: RATCHET. No versatility in the music, they only play rap (some old school). The crowd is iffy, alot of creepers just standing around not even dancing. Cover charge is ridiculous, $ 20 really? Ladies are free before 11pm (or was it 10pm? I don’t even care enough to remember). Drinks are overpriced, ordered a disgusting adiós for $ 12 (served in a plastic cup, real classy), wasn’t even mixed well. Hoodrats twerking the night away pretty much. Went with some friends and we all had the same opinion, don’t waste your time or money. Steer clear of this dump.

Kinda expected more. wasn’t impressed and will not be back. The bar tenders really need to learn how to mix drinks. Stick to beer if you come here.

The venue is small but not bad. What killed it for me was the lack of professionalism that their security staff had. On more than one occasion, I was forcefully bumped out of the way, and when a fight broke out, there was a struggle between 2 guards and a guy, but the rest of them just stood there while I was pinned against the railing because of the scuffle! Mind you, I’m wearing a dress and heels.
The service was okay, bartenders okay, music cool, but the reason why I will never come again is because their security staff made me feel unsafe. They seemed more preoccupied with standing by in case they had to jump into the scuffle instead of securing the location, WHICH IS REALLY THEIR JOBS. Now I have to go nurse a huge bruise on my thigh. I’m glad I was on the guest list and didn’t pay to get wounded.

When I arrived inside this place a magical word came to mind: Dump!!! What a dump!!! The people here couldn’t be more of a dump themselves. The drinks are served smaller the beer is warm and the music style brought
Back memories of hight school dance. Then on top of that this place has a NO «lean on the bar» rule. Can you believe it that u can’t rest your hands on the bar??? Then I order a drink right and when u look at your drink the cup is filled with ice and its in the smallest plastic cup ever. Plus they have dancing rules here. If u are dancing to wildly security comes over and tell u to stop dancing. So when the DJ plays a song called «duggy» you can’t teach anyone how to do it. Please as if this place needs that much crowd control.
At least you can go outside with out having to worry about «in’s and Out’s»
I would only go here if my crew wanted to go again.

Headed over there for dinner during their normal business and there was no one there in sight. No staff! You could probably mix your own drinks!!! Seriously, I just walked in and it was like I was in the twilight zone being the last human on Earth. I just headed next door to the sports bar instead. Don’t waste your time going here.

I came here with my friends on a Friday night since we didn’t feel like heading out to the city.
Cover was free !!! (since it was the Friday after new years)
Since we got to the club so early, I didn’t expect that much people to be there, but I was hoping that more people would show up eventually.
The drinks were happy hour from 50% off all drinks, 10 — 11 so my friends and I took full advantage of that.
Shots of patron were only $ 6 !!! That is almost as cheap as buying a whole bottle for yourself hehe.
The bartender mesed up on a few of our drinks though, he completely forgot the coke in my friends jack n coke, and the long island that he made tasted like he forgot the triple sec /​lemon juice /​whatever else that makes the long island not taste like shit.
It was probably the worst long island I’ve tasted in my life.
The jack n coke comes to a close second because it was just whiskey on ice., and watered down whiskey is worse than having it straight.
The midori sours that he made us also tasted like he forgot the whiskey sour mlix or whatever alcohol that they use in midori sours.
The dj here played a good mix of music !!! We left around 12 because even by 12, there were still less than 20 people in the club :(This club is a really nice place though, I think it could be really fun if more people showed up.

(This review is directed towards the nightclub part for clarification.)
Worst nightclub by far. Their staff is rude and incompetent. Overpriced in general for a mediocre crowd.
I have never once been here without some sort of drama or fight breaking out, mainly blame this on the type of crowd that is present and the bouncers inability to handle situations professionally.
No ins and outs even if you need to grab something from your car because you know, you could be smuggling in a M-​16 just because.
At this rate of pissing off regulars with their Vegas-​Club Complex I wouldn’t be surprised if they went out of business soon. Or they become the Aura of Dublin and change their name every season in hopes of making a comeback. We all saw how well that worked out for Aura.
The 40 min drive to the city is definitely worth it or even Walnut Creek. I wouldn’t send my enemy here.

I went there on a last minute decision with a buddy. The cover was $ 20 but whatever. The thing that gets me is that if I am going to pay $ 20 cover, I don’t want to hear «Push It» by Salt and Peppa. I looked around and asked, «Is the DJ really playing this song?» I noticed a few other people with the same look on thier face.
The night was pretty lame and there were waaaay too many dudes.

I wish I could give this 0 stars. This place does make an attempt to be an alright night club but completely fails. I have been here multiple times and always manages to not make my night better. I usually have a good time even at bland night clubs but have never here. One, the bouncers are on a power trip and trip about anything clothing wise even if its not even out of code as a dude. Second, you night will suck as a dude especially cause you will be surrounded in tools. Third, drinks are a joke and the prices are out of control.
I came to see E40, they raised the prices and didn’t let anyone in time for free tickets on purpose. Then said he was coming on in 10 minutes for 3 hours. This place is almost a scam to be a night club.
I hope this review has an impact. All the times I have been here was not my choice and every time I give it a chance it disappoints

This club is actually nice compaired to the other ones in Pleasenton and Livermore. I’m more of a San Francisco club girl but this place was okay except for the DJ. He sucked. He kept talking and he was playing the same music more then once a couple of times. WHO PLAYS A SONG MORE THEN ONCE??? The DJ does play a mix of music. Hip Hop and then house and then back to hiphop so you get a mix back and forth
Other then that the staff was nice and the bathrooms are clean because that is important. I’m not using a dirty toilet full of crap and pee. The price for a table is good and the seating we had, had a dance floor above.
The club is located is a shopping area and you would never know there was a club there. Do watch out for the cops because at 1:30am there posting up around the area to make stops.
Guess this place serves food in the day so I’ll have to try that.

Looking for Unir — only to find out it was closed. So ended up having a quick bite here.
Place was empty… We were completely ignored by who was supposed to seat us because they were having a chat at a table for a few minutes.
The order:
Kettle&Cran — tastes fine
Generic raspberry ice tea — ok
Black truffle French fries topped with shaved Parmesan $ 6 — overwhelming truffle, you couldn’t taste the parmesan, the chef needs to not be so heavy handed with the truffle oil.
Karma dumplings — served crisp with spicy soy based dipping sauce filled with chicken and vegetables $ 7 — seemed like these were a frozen variety that they just fried, like you get at the food tasting counters at Costco.
Adobo chicken — 2 corn tortilla filled with shredded chicken, cabbage, cilantro, carrots, topped with a fire roasted vegetable wasabi salsa $ 6 — probably the worst tacos I’ve ever tasted, the cabbage was so bitter and there was nothing to balance the weird flavors this dish offered
Tilapia– 2 corn tortilla filled with beer battered tilapia, lettuce, tipped with a citrus cilantro sauce $ 6 — fish was soggy and not crispy.
They get 2 stars for the waitress who was super friendly and nice.
Not coming back here!

Hey Karma manager… spend the money and get a good resident DJ that plays current music that we want to hear.

If you’re looking for a place full of townies, bad music, and the average age is 40 you’ve come to the right place.
Needless to say, it was a lame night. And I did not enjoy my evening here.

I have a like-​hate relationship with Karma.
Likes: It’s in walking distance from my friend’s condo, the cute tall middle eastern bouncer, the music, how much fun I have with 30 of my friends
Hates:
The cheap cheap cheap alcohol they pour, I’m talkin Popov quality that you could only drink with a virgin liver as a teenager, and the outrageous prices they charge for any non-​well drinks.
The fact that I almost get kicked out of this place everytime I go, and mind you, I have only been kicked out of a club once in my life -(Vegas– nuffsaid).
The itty bitty cheapy plastic cups that my non-​hulklike hands crush while dancing with some fugly face.
The amount of trailor trash and lack of good looking guys.
How much fun I have with any number less than 30 of my friends.
The lack of organization and false promises from the owner in regards to cover.
In addition to all of the regular things that I just can’t stand about this place, they promoted a Bei Major performance that was literally half of a lip synched song. I’ll be back to avoid a DUI, but if there happens to be another club in Dublin that opens up, I’ll pay the cab fare when visiting!!!

Hit: crab dip, fried chicken, fries
Misses: dumplings, beef skewers
Great service for dinner. Complimentary champagne. Boxed up left overs. Dance floor spacious. Bartenders nice. Easy parking, nice décor, clean restrooms.
DJ? Mix of party music and R&B. Felt like I was at a rave.

A classy establishment that holds up their end of the bargain.
Decent priced drinks, professional staff and not brainless juice heads bouncin’ the doors and actin’ a fool when their supposed to be security.
I witnessed a minor altercation, and before it was able to escalate, security rushed them out the side doors before anyone had a chance to notice the meat heads causing trouble, and the crowd didn’t know a thing! I just happen to be standing in that moment to have noticed.
The bartenders were friendly and attentive.
Not sure of what cover would be, but they were very accommodating.
They don’t have any cheesy go-​go dancers — but lagit performers that keep the crowd hype.
Great DJ.
Downside? Small venue, and I noticed a long wait for the bathrooms.
Go Dublin! Love Karma! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town!

ICK, GROSS, NASTY… That pretty much sums up my opinion of this place.
I had heard a lot of my friends talk about coming to this place and having a good time. My friend’s birthday was last Friday, so I decided to show up for her birthday party.
After my first drink, I asked the bartender for a water (It helps me to not be hungover, it’s not like I was wasted after 1 drink.) He grabbed a DIRTY plastic cup that someone had left on the counter, filled it with water, and handed it to me. Uhh… Isn’t that against some sort of health code? He quickly moved on to the next customer and ignored my protests.
I left and will never come back.

So you’d wonder why anyone would drive out of their way to come to a place like this, out in the middle of nowhere. I thought the same thing, when meeting up with my friends who are from all over the bay area, and Dublin seems to be our middle meeting spot. And after coming to Karma, I can see us coming back many more times to come.
I’ve been here on two separate occasions… one for the lounge/​night club experience and another for evening drinks/​dinner. And let me tell you, both experiences were EXCEPTIONAL.
The first time, my girls and I were having a girls night out type of thing, for some good drinks, music, and a night of dancing. We all have boyfriends and hate when you get the creepy creepers who start grinding up on you from behind or do not leave you alone. Luckily, we didn’t get any of that, and everyone was just there to have a good time and was respectful to all the ladies. Also, the crowd is pretty diverse, none of that ALL Asian or ALL Mexican crowd, and people are dressed up a little nicer than what you’d see in ghetto San Jose (where I’m from). The best part of the night was getting to meet the owner, Tim, (through a friend’s friend), and having him hook us girls up with a VIP table and a bottle of champagne! Really great service and really nice owner!
The second time we were here, we actually intended on having a nice dinner/​drinks at Cellar 9 next door. Since one of our girls was running late, we decided to stop by Karma for some drinks while we waited for her. There, we got to meet Jeremy, the general manager, who introduced himself to us, and then served us very strong but delicious drinks! One lychee martini led to the next, and then to the next, and then to a couple extra shots. By this time he had trapped us and we ended up staying and having dinner there! We never made it to Cellar 9 like we had planned, but we had a great time drinking, eating, catching up, and meeting the fabulous staff of Karma. =)
My fave from the bar was the lychee martini, made with 3 types of liquor. It’s all alcohol so it’s SUPER STRONG! =P My faves from the dinner menu were the kobe beef sliders (comes with 3), and the white truffle oil fries. DELICIOUS!!!
Great drinks, food, music, and best of all, SERVICE. Thank you, Tim and Jeremy, for offering such wonderful experiences. I don’t know if we’ll ever get to check out Cellar 9 because we’ll probably just keep coming back to Karma! haha =)

I’m kind of biased about this place. It’s not a place that I would come because I wanted to. I’ve been here because I’ve known the DJ spinning, did a quick «hi-​how are you doing-​good-​okay, bye» sort of deal when coming to this place.
I went to this place a couple of weeks ago… before then, it was sometime last summer when I had visited. It was after 11PM, there was a cover. I haven’t paid a cover… in a very, very long time. I was standing in the doorway, with my friend, texting my friend (DJ) to tell him I wasn’t coming in because I wasn’t paying to get in. The bouncer at the door stamped both of our hands and didn’t make us pay.
Will I come here again willingly or because I want to? Probably not. But I did give the place two extra stars because of the bouncer at the door that didn’t make us pay. So thanks.
