“OK once in awhile......”

Not as bad as the British guy. It's a bar for regulars, but after you meet the regulars, you may want to head to West Hollywood. The place feels stuck in the 80s, and unfortunately, its time has passed. A couple of bartenders are good. The others are just okay.

“Where is everyone at?”

During a visit to Long Beach a while back, this seemed to be the most popular bar in town, as it was very busy. However, we stopped in on a Monday and only the bartender was there, and on Wednesday just a few guys. It's very laid-back, drinks are fairly priced, and it could be fun with the right group.

“Great neighborhood bar.”

A wonderful neighborhood bar. It's relaxing with pleasant people. I enjoy playing pool here and it's conveniently located.
