Alex's Bar

Karaoke Night every Single Taco Tuesday!!!!! I must say that I have become a Regular to the Long Beach "Much Love Vibes". The Alex's Bar Stage is Historic from many So-cal Punk Bands Raging the Place for decades. The Dance Floor is big Enough to Fit a Backyard Pool Party. An outside Bar Patio made during the Shutdown makes a Real nice Park Bench Scene with the size of a High School Quad Area. And the Dope Hospitality of the Waitresses and Karaoke Jockey makes you feel like you never left a Positive Vibe. I have been Rocking out the Karaoke Nights for over a Year there and I plan on Having more Fun at Alex's Bar in the Future. P.S. Sign up Early to pick a song, it gets Packed.

The drinks were OK, the inside (sound set up, overall vibe, etc.) were OK, the bands were GREAT. But man, the bouncer that was at the door (middle-aged, black), his attitude STUNK. Like in the 2 minute interaction we had, so much sass, attitude, and rudeness that you would’ve thought he was a 13 year-old girl who just got her first period. I get that this is a punk bar, but you don’t let your employees treat paying customers like that! Another thing is that the show/door prices are very confusing. For example, there is an upcoming show that’s advertised to be $20 in advance and $25 the day of. If you look on DICE (the app the tickets are sold on) it’s $25 (and the show is in 2 months). If it is DICE fees, then those fees must be inconsistent because the price differentials are ALL over the place when you look at the various shows. It’s not just DICE either, when me and my wife went, we were expecting to pay $25 (because it was the day of). It was $32, which wouldn’t be so odd if they would just be honest on the poster. Overall, everything was O.K. with the exception of the bands (f****** fantastic), the service from that one dude with a stick up his butt (not fantastic), and the inconsistent prices!

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.
