“The absolute best combination of dive bar and arcade you could ask for! It was the bartenders first day (sorry I forgot your name) but he was friendly, engaging and knew his stuff about the games. Cash only, which is honestly part of the charm. Highly recommended!“

Tailgate Bar Bar • $
2503 Santa Fe Ave, Long Beach - 9.74 miles

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“

Nicoise Salad

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.“

The Echo Dive Bar • $$
1822 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles - 10.08 miles

“This medium-small, former cool dive bar was bought out by a corporate entity that has changed the vibe of this place for the worse, I'm sorry to say. Real money isn't even good enough for this place--it's no cash allowed! How crazy is that? They must love paying those fees to the banks! Wait, WE'RE the ones paying those bank fees as it's included in the prices. I hate this policy. It's unAmerican not to accept our currency. Who do they think they are? Not everyone has a card with money on it. I guess if u don't, you're probably not welcome here. Metal detectors at the door, then they wand u again for entry. Purses get searched too. The security here seems excessive overall with security guys watching u everywhere. It's unnerving + a buzzkill.
On the positive side, the live music presentation of this club is well done. Nice stage size--not too big, waist high so everyone can get a good view of the bands. Smaller sized audience area so you feel up-close + personal. Excellent sound system + monitors, sound guy is quick + very good at his job, + lighting is nice. It IS undeniably a good place to see + hear a band.
What's crazy is there's nowhere to sit inside, not even a bench along the wall. How lame is that? Gen X says Thumbs Down + my disabled BF was not happy about it. Large outdoor patio is the only place with any seating.
Decent drink variety here but all come in a can, even the cocktails. Mix of craft beers + bubbly fruity drinks, mainstream beers + pre-mixed cocktails at standard bar prices. No cash allowed, remember.
Overall, if a band i want to see is playing here, I'll go again. But this place no longer has any warmth or personality so I'd never go there to just hang out. It's become just another corporate venue now. The Echo has no parking lot. Street parking is busy but possible plus there are 2 big paid parking lots around the corner. Next door is a pizza slice place + ice cream place too if u get hungry.“
