Re-re-return to C-Frenz, a very spacious bar nightclub in the heart of Reseda in the San Fernando…read moreValley. I've only been a small handful of times since 2021, but was nice to come back in again on a date night. This long-standing all inclusive lgbtq+ space is celebrating their 20th Anniversary this week as well as the birthday of one of it's awesome bartenders ChrisTopher, who served us up some great drinks tonight. This dive bar meets billiard bar meet karaoke lounge (two nights a week - Sunday and Thursday) meets double patio areas and more is a neighborhood favorite. When I lived down the street it was one of my favorite places to go whether walking along Reseda Blvd up to the street entrance or down Hart St to Canby Avenue through the patio and back door/main entrance via it's shared parking lot with neighboring businesses including a large music studio in an industrial-esque neighborhood block. There's plenty of parking between the lot and along Canby without restrictions, but also metered parking on Hart St and Reseda Blvd. It's a little more than a mile up from the Metro G - Orange Line and also rideshare friendly (back entrance drop off and pick up is often best as the front door is typically closed and/or locked at times. They have restrooms for all genders, remodeled and upgraded. Tall tables inside with seating as well as bar seating on all ends of their double sided bar. Drinks are a little more than your dive club prices, but loaded and generous portions. One downside is the AC system which is not powerful at all, and with the back doors generally open letting out in contained cool air it can be humid and muggy inside. It definitely cools off at night and in cooler months. They've made a lot of updates and small renovations, but the AC not so much. They have so cool themed nights like goth night via Club Caelum, drag events, drag race viewing Fridays, go-go dancing nights, competitions, Sunday BBQ and more. Come to the West Valley's only gay bar to make new friends and of course "C" frenz.

C Frenz has ended. Been going there since the late 80's when it was Incognito, then Bananas in the…read more90's & finally C Frenz since (aprox.) 2005. There were good times for sure but the bar, especially prior to covid was always dominated by cliques which did not make it an inclusive atmosphere for all...& many people stopped going. At one point it was very high school with a mean girl vibe. It's sad that with karaoke & the VR room (that was shut down) the vibe seemed way more inclusive in the last 3 years. I wish there could be another West Valley bar that is inclusive for EVERYBODY & not dominated by cliques that seem to think they can take over. Just my thoughts. M.

I was pleasantly surprised that they have not followed the other establishments I frequent with super high prices! Some places now charge over $2.00 a wing, this place finally raised the price bi $1.00 for their wings lunch special, Awesome, thanks for keeping your prices down, rare these days. That's 10 wings and the assorted carrot and celery sides for $11! Unreal. The staff is always friendly and ready to take your order. Plenty of parking in back and a nice pool table. The place looks great and the ceiling tiles are all in great shape now.

I've been here quite a few times and each visit we always had a blast. Saturday afternoon without…read moreany plans, we ended up here. Just after lunch and looking for something to do, this place sounded good. Plus we were in the neighborhood. The other times I've been it was alway fun so today we were hopping to continue the fun. Well it did just that. First off, it was quite mellow when we walked in at the bar area. There were a few people while we were ordering. Bartenders was quite sweet. Remembered us from the last time which was nice. To our surprise, it happened to be Bingo that afternoon. Clearly none of us knew anything about it but hey, let's play bingo. The best part, it was free. Everything was supplied for you. Grab your games and dabber and go to town. The hostess with the mostess was amazing. She made the game more interesting. Maybe half an hour to it, the place picked up a lot. Pretty much people kept joining in with the games. Our group did win some rounds which was pretty cool. Prizes were a bit all over the place. A table which you choose what you want. Things rang from pillows, candies, sweets, to some intimate pieces...Lol.... It was hilarious. There was a few intermission for a little performance from the hostess. Lip sync for your life with some tips in hand. It was a fun afternoon not expecting anything. I think there's something that happens every now and then. Not sure what the schedule is like but we happened to stop by on a fun afternoon. Cheap drinks, free bingo and friendly crowd. What more can you ask for. Definitely will be back.

I feel like the only time I pop into here for a drink tends to be after dinner nearby. And this…read morevisit, it was literally that. We did pop in when it was still early so the place was pretty mellow. Even at 9pm, there was a security guard out front checking people's Id. Inside, it's a dark vibe but nice. Lots of plush comfy sofas for seating. The layout can be a tight squeeze in the seating area at the front as the sofas are pretty big and close together. Then add in the guest, it could get tight but a fun vibe. Main floor area has the bar to one side and the dance floor at the other end. The whole place does turn into a dance floor when it's fully packed. What's nice about this place, they have a nice outdoor patio. Not a lot of bars along this strip offer that which is nice. Bar area is along one side but getting a drink when it's packed can be a challenge. They always have a decent amount of bartenders on deck so that does help but with people coming from all ends trying to order, it can get a bit tricky. Dj is along the side where the dance floor is. As for our visit, Friday which around 9 was still early. The good thing about that, getting a drink was a cinch. Majority of the people were either on the patio or the front lounge. It was pretty full in the front which I think it was a group that were all together. We were there long enough for a drink give or take half an hour the most and by then, the place was pretty empty. I feel like most people tends to come around 10:30 or 11:00. Not sure if they have an entrance fee or not but certain night when they have events, the place is very lively. Then I believe you would need to purchase tickets for that. Parking situation is a major bitch as street parking is pretty sparse. Neighborhood parking is very limited as the locals know that if they move their car, say goodbye to your parking spot. So if you know the area, parking is tricky. It's a cool little bar that I used to go to when I lived down here many years ago which used to be called The Brit. Still a fun vibe.

Nice looking bar/club in the gay area of Long Beach, but it was pretty quiet for a Sunday Funday…read moreevening. I'm guessing it's because the bartender is not friendly and pretty arrogant. The cocktails were good and served in glasses, not plastic cups. We went to four different bars this evening, two bad and two great; this was the worst because of the bartender. We're probably never coming back here unless there's a friendlier bartender. Just saying.

Luckily, we didn't come all the way from Simi Valley just to go here, and went to dinner and a movie prior to this. Otherwise, that would have been a total waste of time. My friend said it wasn't her scene, and no interest in coming back. I might try it again with another friend, if/when the a/c gets fixed. I asked the security guard if it's always that hot inside, and they said since the a/c has been broken, and why they chose to stand outside where people enter. Hopefully, it gets fixed sooner rather than later. I sadly, had another bad experience with a place in Agoura Hills with bad reviews, because their a/c was broken. Called to make sure it was fixed before purchasing tickets. They said it was. Showed up and it wasn't, and had to leave because got to easily overheated.
