“Perfectly divey, so set your expectations accordingly. My running group stopped in here to "rehydrate" on a warm winter afternoon. The television had sportsball on, and the bartender was friendly. There is a smoking patio if that's your thing. The bathrooms were being worked on, so I i can't comment on them.“
“Man ; I was looking everywhere for some fries to share with my bf so we could eat before we watched the stars on the beach . Everywhere on the beach , the cooks were out , I'm like damn . I finally go to this place and they only have nachos , I'm like dang , I really want fries . And the hostess named Cat or Kat , she was like try the slip , and I was like , " bro they didn't want to serve me ." She was like , " ??? Why ?" I was like , " right ?". Dude she was like , " holdup , I'll give you fries ." I'm thinking , " ????" She goes to her in n out bag and gave me a little portion of fries bro . I was shook because there are so many people who just don't care to be nice like that . Dude, I should had paid her at least a five or something but I had my card only . Because of her hospitality and her random act of kindness , I will always now advertise this place for free from now on . She really made my day , I really won't forget that kind gesture . I know it may not mean much but everytime someone is nice to me like that , I never forget them . I can't drink and neither am I fan of bars but this is one bar I'm willing to go to with my friends who visit me from other states. Thank you so much C/Kat , you made my night ! Going to tell my ma and my friends about you and the menu you had made ! 10/10 vibes , you should definitely go here if you want nice atmosphere to vibe in !“
“This is the kind of bar that you can really settle into. It's the type of bar where you might see two grown men, deep into the night, crying at the end of the bar top as their friends point at them and shake their heads; NOT because what they are doing is wrong but because it's so very right, and they're strong enough to do it.It is a little too light inside, for my taste.“
“Went for lunch and sat outside. The outdoor tables were super comfortable and it’s a lovely area to sit. We got the lunch sandwiches with mac salad and the portion was huge!!! Sandwiches were great and for such a good price. Definitely could share one with two people. Only issue was it was a little confusing between ordering online and with the bartender, but service was good!“
“This is an awesome unpretentious Uber casual dive bar. A great place to relax, play pool, or table ice hockey, drink beer and eat some good bar food. I esp liked the wings. No draft beer, but the bottled options were ice cold!Good times if you come with good friends. During football season…it’s Go Cleveland Browns!VictorB“
“Nice little pub that I could walk to from the Holiday Inn Express and was able to watch football there. They don't serve food but I stepped next door to Domino's and grabbed a pizza and brought it back over to eat. All good and I will return.“
“I had good time Friday night with with family I kept a smile on my face all night and mingled with friendly people. I love being around an older crowd people enjoying their self that’s what it supposed to be about Black people coming together having fun without fighting all the time. Peace one love.“
“Been here a few times, usually to shoot pool. The cook there is really cool, he said " u hungry? How about some Ensenada style fish taco's?"The fish was fresh, and crispy. Huge portions. The salsa was bomb, spicy. Super legit tacos, and I'm a classicly french trained chef, 20 yrs in the best resorts and restaurants in Los Angeles/Orange County. Don't sleep on this cook and his dedication to putting out nothing but his best! Come check him out“
“Twas a nice an spacious setting for a good bash if old, the brews floweth the liquor poureth, many a maiden danced, games of skill an chance were played on green tables with balls an pockets. One may even throw tiny arrows at the wall if they please. Thyn must say... "Twas a night to remember" ( insert bilbo baggins quote) but for real I really like this place, bartenders are friendly an run a tight ship, they have pool tables darts and shuffle board. PS the pool scene can be competitive but that's why I go there, if you like pool, you'll find good competition there on Fridays“
“My first introduction to Bac Street was walking from my house to Thirsty Club and I was a regular until my last interaction... anyway, Bac Street is closer to me than Thirsty or Paddy's but it closed down for a long while due to pandemic. They're open now and just as neighborhood friendly as before. The only reason I'm giving 4 in lieu of 5 stars is because they don't have any snacks. No pretzels, chips or nuts. So come FULL.“
“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’s such a lovely dump LOL! Love going there on Wednesdays for the rib eye steak. I hope they don’t ever remodel or change a thing in there including the ripped up mish mash chairs, wobble tables… it’s our favorite happy little place. We donated some ping pong rackets because theirs were sooo bad but they probably don’t even notice it. Dive bars for the chill low maintenance people. : ) Xo“
“One of the best places to hang out in Hermosa Beach. We were here 2 weeks ago. I love the fish tacos here and some of there hamburger sliders. Nice drink specials and margueritas. Great bartenders and customer service. I wish i could come here more often.“
“This is a hybrid dive bar that has some amazing staff and jukebox play. It’s hybrid because it has a pizza shop next door that has really amazing pizza. They don’t have food but easily accessible. The Guinness is outstanding; clean lines and ice cold. They have jukebox you can DJ and Liz and Kanna were really gracious hosts for us. We stayed at the Best Western nearby and used this as our staging point before our cruise. It’s a really cool local with very nice people.“
“I love a good cocktail and find it very difficult to find one in this town (that's reasonably priced). I never thought that I'd be rating Alex's Bar as one of the best places to get a cocktail in Long Beach! They really know what they're doing and go the extra mile. I don't go to a lot of live shows anymore, so I don't frequent the place as much as I'd like to. Kudos to Alex and his staff for doing it right and not charging an arm and a leg. A lot of LB bars could learn something from this place.“
“Good long happy hour specials. Bartenders are friendly and good at their job. Locals can be easy to make conversations with. Wish a bit more variety of people, def a neighborhood joint. Never gets super busy in the times I've been. Glad to be close by.“
“"Shouldn't I realize (Shouldn't I realize)"-Maxwell High above the nesting place sits a lovely sign that reads: Crow's Nest Bar Cocktails.This bar was just on the edge of boogie glory when I strolled through. Everyone, & I mean, everyone in the bar was jamming & dancing. The pool players were two stepping, the bartender was twerking it out, and the people at the bar were on their feet swaying to the beats.The man supplying the rhythms this night was DJ Believethat. He mixed in all the late night heaters & floor fillers. I definitely remember the bar crowd switching on to full dance party mode when DJ Believethat dropped "Candy Rain." DJ Believethat even left the decks to share in the fancy footwork.I got around to having a beer. I must admit it tasted like a beer. It was cold. I found the beer added to the overall levity of the evening. Others were throwing down shots now & then. Anyone who sets foot in the Crow's Nest on a Thursday will definitely get lifted, but hey that's levitation, Holmes.“
“So I had a weird experience once, but ever since, this place has stepped up their game!! I come in just for Jess because she's awesome, and Mariah's customer service skills and bartending technique have vastly improved!! This place is exactly what you're looking for if you're into dive bars, like I am. Great sports on every tv, pool table with a bunch of regulars always happy to welcome you to the table, and an amazing sense of community. One off night shouldn't affect a Yelp score so I'm upping from a 3 to a 5! This place is great! Definitely stop in and say what's up to Jess and Mariah!!“
“Great music, Wednesday night jazz was awesome last night and pool games are fun. Staff are friendly and down to earth. Every once in a while there's a tasty snack from the back. Charles Bukowski would drink here and many bands have come through over the years. A classic spot for fun hangs and music.“
