Alex's Bar

Gotta love this place! Been seeing my favorite bands play here for many years. Nice stage and sound is great. Large covered outdoor area with plenty of seating. Casual comfortable friendly vibe.

Cool venue for punk rock bands. Large outdoor patio. Cocktails & beer a plenty. Nice bartenders and staff. Free parking on premises fills up fast and near the venue. Small restrooms a bit of a wait.

Good drinks Friendly staff, but security is really strict with last calls and yells a-lot. Wish he would approach more friendly asking individuals to leave before closing than yelling strictly. Overall bar tenders works really hard to meet the needs of customers Kudos to them Security Not so much :

Good live musical venue. Friendly staff and safe environment. Great selection on drinks, not too overpriced.

Cool place and all just one thing. As one of the other reviews said, security has the attitude of 13 year old girl that got her first period. This is coming from a woman in her 20s. 3 security guards, middle aged black dude, tall middle aged white dude, and a shorter younger black dude. These are the security guards to avoid. P.S girls, if you ever feel like you are being filmed in the restroom, it's because you are. Proceed with caution

Yes yes yes... killer little joint for chill vibes and also bands on weekends. No pretentious bs in this place. Leave attitude at the door:

It's a legendary venue, and a cornerstone of SoCal alternative music. Still going strong post? COVID and just a good place to be. The bar is for real.

Still the best spot for live music in LB and the friendliest bartenders.

Spacious,super cool red lighting, and awesome rock decorations make this just a great Long Beach dive bar. Been here for New Years Eve, to see specific bands, and just to drop in, and it's always been a good time, crowded or mellow. They have a very decent selection of draft beers, and though I haven't ordered one, the quality of their cocktails has impressed folks I know. Will continue to visit, and bring folks in.

This place is the best. I love the set up, the acoustics, the bands that play there, the history, etc. I highly recommend seeing a band in this small venue. I have seen The Dead Milkmen and Fishbone here. This is a Long Beach staple if you're a music lover or a True Blood fan.
