Interlude — Restaurant in Long Beach

The Bar: Considered the diviest bar in Long Beach, this little hole in the wall sits on Clark Ave. between PCH and Los Coyotes Diagonal. This is the bar that the locals come to when the Annex and Blondie's close early, at least that's what I did when I lived in Long Beach. Everything about this place screams dive bar, no windows, a door leading into the unknown, and the smell of stale beer from the night before, feels like home. The Crowd: For a Saturday night, not much happening in here. Got your standard retirees, couple of drunk middle aged fellows, and a few in their 20's. Everyone seemed nice enough. Service: Quick and delivered with a smile. Prices: $4.25 16oz Coors Light, $5 shots of Fireball (heavy pour) Entertainment: 2 pool tables (50 cents), TouchTunes, 2 dart boards, Lottery ticket machine. Complementary hotdogs and popcorn on weekends. Restroom: One of the filthiest we've ever been in. It was hot & humid, with the smell of old urine. Perhaps a 99 cent air freshener could fix this issue. Closing statement: We use to frequent this place on the regular. Not a terrible spot if you are looking for a relaxed environment. The restrooms could certainly use a facelift. We were told that Friday nights are the best and that we should return then, we shall try. In the meantime, stop on by and let us know what...

I don’t know if they serve food, don’t really care because it’s a bar so they have all the things I’m looking for. The bartenders are really nice, it’s a great crowd of people that u can feel at ease with and the drinks are delicious. I like the location because it’s by all business that close early so there’s plenty of parking at night. There’s a Mexican food taco stand on the corner if u get hungry. They have a clean and well lit outside area for smokers. I thought it was a great bar...

Neat place! I came here with some friends and we all enjoyed it. No checker at the front but the bartender yelled at us to show ID which was interesting lol Crowd was mostly older folks in their 40s and 50s but found some millennials there. Drinks were fine and the music was loud but is expected at any bar. There were some tables and chairs so you could find a place to sit and chat and the space was pretty big which I appreciated. Overall, a good place...
