really disappointed that i won't be coming to this bar anymore. i came for the friendly service and devoted bartenders but i refuse to give the owner any more of my money. he talks down to his employees in front of customers, prioritizes his circle of queens and prides himself on an accepting environment when thats not the reality. almost every conversation i had initiated by a regular usually led to me having to explain my gender, reinstate my pronouns and/or listen on to how good of an ally they are bc they "had a trans friend".. and this is after finding out there was talk amongst themselves over people like me invading "their" space. there's no use calling him out either without him accusing, deflecting or denying. i feel for the bartenders who could make this establishment expand as a fun, lively and inclusive safe space for the lgbtq+ community. there's a lot of great qualities about this bar and it shows so much potential but it seems like a missed opportunity..

Love this place. Its very cute and the energy is always super welcoming. I have been here many time with friends, and I actually brought my mom here for her birthday and our favorite bartender Ricardo made us all his special drinks. Highly reccommend!

It is a very chill, fun spot with friendly bartenders. Drinks never disappoint, and the music is usually great as well. Two separate restrooms, with one being a single for more privacy. A nice back patio with a fountain and some plants for a relaxed vibe. Cash only, but they can serve as an ATM if you don't have any. Just ask the bartender how.

Really chill place to catch up with friends. Never had a problem here. Chill and not rowdy place. Only beautiful souls come here. Bartenders are great and super nice. Only one private restroom for women/men. But I don't mind because no one ever takes long.

Held my class reunion here. Words can't explain how accommodating the owner and staff were. Everything was beyond my expectations, especially since I planned the event out of state. Michael (the owner) is very responsive and attentive to all of our requests. Not only that, he made sure that the bar was decorated with our school emblem and colors! Needless to say, we will be doing business with The Crest in 2024. The food was outstanding! Shout out to Glenn! And, the bar staff...friendly & superb!Parking: You can find suitable parking on the street

Fun Gay bar with great bartenders and interesting and friendly clientele. Even if you come on your own you’ll always find it easy to strike up a conversation with someone. Drinks and beer are not overly priced with certain nights having drink specials. They also host some fun events like Trivia Night, Drag Race Viewings and Loteria Night.

Fun, cozy, and nice environment. Friendly mixologist and water feature in the back is spectacular to hear on the background.

I stopped in The Crest mid afternoon on a weekday. It was slow so I can't give much comment. They did have a small late lunch crowd though I did not eat. The food looked good and the place had a local hangout vibe, which I like. I hope to hit at a more happening time on my next trip.

I've lived in Long Beach for years and always frequent the Broadway Bars and the Silver Fox and on occasion make it out Hamburger Mary's. Yet somehow only visited the Crest for the first time last week. I'm glad I finally made it. This is the epitome of your neighborhood bar. Feels super local, with a good number of regular patrons, yet still inviting to first timers like myself. Bartenders are great, it's decorated super well, and has a patio for when you need some air and if you're a smoker. Can't wait to add this spot to my Long Beach bar rotation and support them more.
