Plenty of tunes, pool/billiards and great drinks inside. The service is spot on. Easy local street parking and local to other North Long Beach gay bars like Falcon North and Flux. We had a round of drinks with cigars on the patio and met up with some local friends. It was a pretty mellow night. Everyone was friendly. Definitely more of a locals spot, but all are welcome. Easy Juke Box. Free Wi-Fi. Cash bar. ATM available. Gender neutral restrooms as well as ADA compliant. Rustic around the edges, but more modern in select places both inside and out. The Crest does have some themed nights and drag shows on occasion. I hadn't been inside in a good eight years or so, definitely hope to stop in again and support them.

Normally on a Wednesday night or a Sunday as it was karaoke. The fun nights were had way back when. It's still the same fun old place but with a little revamp from the early 2000 when it was a frequent place with the college kids for drinks and karaoke. The crowd from the coffee shop down the street would end their nights here with cocktails and singing. A fun neighborhood dive bar. There's still security at the front checking ID's. Seems like regardless whatever your age is, they ask. Inside you have the retro fun vibe. Of course everyone is there for the same reason, a fun night. Bar is right when you walk in. Normally there's two bartenders on the busy nights but often you just see one. Inside has a good amount of seating but outside patio seating seemed to be alway lively. There's loads of seating out there. The fun twinkling lights and nice lush plants gives it a cool tropical feel hidden in Long Beach. I did notice a lot of people bringing food in especially pizza which was from across the street. Didn't know you could Uber Eats things here but clearly you can. Dinks is always good from my experience. Reasonable price which brings the crowd in. The only thing that sucks, the restroom situation. There's two on either side which does get pretty busy with a line as it's one per person and it's alway dirty. Don't know if anyone goes in there to clean during the nightly hours. Overall, the crowd is alway fun and lively. The last two times I've been I did noticed that it's still the college crew crowd as when I used to come in the early 2000. A more younger crowd, somewhat hipsters vibe. Depending on what day you visit, there's some kind of something going in. It's a fun dive bar that's alway fun for drink. Very casual.

Out of the other two bars that were visited, this place was the busiest. St Paddy's day for a drink…read morethat led to bar hopping along Broadway. Last time we stopped by it was mellow. This visit, it was a little more lively and a mixed crowd. The music sucked whoever was in charge as it kept skipping and changing constantly. Not consistent whatsoever. It could be coming from the jukebox right at the front. People were out for drinks which it was pretty lively. Of course as it's also a dive bar with a pool table, people were having fun. The place was chill as most bar in Long Beach are. Nothing stuck up here with pretentious people. Everyone is here for the same thing, a dive bar and drinks. There was actually more than one bartender this time. Normally it's one who was taking care of everyone. And a mixed crowd, people all having fun. It's bigger than the other one we just came from But did notice some other guest from the previous bar doing the same thing we were, bar hopping. There's a decent amount of seating along the bar counter. Hi top tables along the front and entrance. Some in the back area as well and the main seating area thats along the other wall with a built in seating. Great for people watching and viewing the game of pool that's right in front of you. I think there's two pool tables. It's a simple fun place where you guessed it, all the locals and regulars visit. They do have happy hour which we found out a while back. Same as all the other bars along the area, it's street parking. I don't know if it's a regular thing but out front was a taco stand getting ready for the night. Beer and tacos, match made in heaven.

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar. The manager, Matthew, was…read moreunbelievably aggressive and unprofessional. My female cousin was using one of the gender-neutral restrooms. None of the restroom doors had working locks, so my other cousin and our friend were simply holding the door closed to give her privacy. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Matthew stood outside the door yelling for her to hurry up. He yelled, "I'm gonna kill a bitch if I don't get in the restroom." When my cousin came out, he called her a "stupid bitch," said that "three men could have peed in the amount of time she took," and then said, "I'm gonna leave before I kill someone." When I confronted him about how inappropriate his behavior was, he identified himself as the manager and threatened to kick us out. No customer should ever be treated this way, especially by management. I won't be returning.

The bar was semi lonely and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing at the time of our visit. The service was great as our bartender was friendly. This bar also offers snacks for sale like chips, hotdogs and (complimentary) popcorn. A minor downside is that this bar is *CASH ONLY*. They do however have an ATM inside but I always find the cash only stance to be a bit of a hassle due to fees. Overall, this is a nice local dive bar that I'd possibly revisit in the future.
