I'm not sure why they let so many people in, if theres ever hardly any space to walk in and out or to even get to the bathroom.
Womens bathroom - near the pool table and the men can see inside (since bathroom is so small) - no privacy.

A little crowded but found out there's a speakeasy close by, so it was probably due to that

Imagine sitting at the bar patiently waiting for 15 minutes trying to get the bartender's attention and when you finally do (which an inebriated regular who calls him by name had to flag him down for us) he looks at his watch as if you ran out of time to order and you're bothering him. Well that's exactly what happened to me and my friends. And Jose was quick to let us know he was bothered by the look of disdain on his face and when I called him out about his disrespectful gesture and look of disgust his exact words were "because I'm trying to get out here and go home" Well now my question was answered. Jose didn't care about giving us great service he didn't want to give us service at all because he simply wanted to leave work or hates his job. Which I tell everyone in the service industry or customer service "if you hate your job do us all a favor and quit so someone who enjoys working gets the opportunity" Me being a bartender myself I told Jose you should treat every guest that comes to that door as an opportunity to build rapport and ultimately a reoccurring guest who can potentially help build the growth of the business by word of mouth. It helps your pockets as well being in the service industry it becomes more money for yourself when you have regulars who come in and spend with you. Jose clearly didn't like being called out and his ego let me know that. He became extremely confrontational and aggressive. Not only did he say he doesn't need my money he told me to calm down in an attempt to manipulate the situation to be a victim. I told him I was completely calm and making constructive criticism from a customer's point of view. He then told me "I hear a lot of talking and you running your mouth" then went on to make suggestions of me to shut up. I then was kicked out for zero reason. I guess you could say the reason was me wanting a drink but encountering a rude employee who wanted to get home so he decided he was going to give bad customer service and instead of being apologetic he became extremely disrespectful. As a hardworking adult I choose very wisely where I decide to spend my hard earned money especially in this economy and I like to go to places where I feel welcomed. A quick night out after work trying to snag a couple of drinks and enjoy some time with friends turned into an egomaniac abusing his authority because he didn't like constructive criticism. The smug look on his face as I was being escorted out is enough for me to never want to come back to Shannon's where I frequent both location every so often. Me being a local in Long Beach working near the location downtown and also my daytime office job in Orange County it's been a place I like to suggest to colleagues as a place to get great drinks and usually great service. This only happened a few hours ago but I felt compelled to share my experience because a great day turned sour based off one person's actions. I can say it was nice to see my dollar still posted on the wall which reads "TIME" in the back end the bar. But sadly after this experience I will not be returning as there are others places in the area I can spend my "time" and money with. And in Jose words who represents this business I'm sure they "don't need my money" (The bouncer outside gave me his name and hoping it's accurate)

The atmosphere was fun, typical dive bar. BUT the service was terrible. I’ve never been discriminated so bad. The bartender, ZACH, was so rude. He told me, as an Indian American women, to “go back to where I came from” and I can’t understand how any situation that is acceptable to say. How incredibly rude. ZACH NEEDS TO BE FIRED. And to add on add to that, he was drinking all night, taking shots. He threw glass at the wall and it broke a bottle or glass which flew everywhere which also a health and safety hazard. I didn’t feel safe. I’m 5’2, woman of color and this is the last thing I would expect at a dive bar. He was rude and out of line. I’ve never been so insulted and felt so discriminated against. It was an unprofessional and he should be removed from the establishment. Is this really the type of people you want to work for your establishment???

The bartender Zach was rude, drunk, taking multiple shots, made racial comments and asked for a $20 tip on a $30 tab. When we asked him why there was a need for a larger tip, he got us kicked out.
