    My favorite pic!
    Amy B.

    This place is the absolute best!! Willy welcomes you as soon as you walk in the door. Not fancy, more like a place you could go to each and every day! This was my Dad's favorite bar & I can see why!

    Ice cold beer and FOX News!

    Love this place. Real people and cold beer. Don't let the exterior scare you, it's all American.

    This has become one of my favorite bars. They have good selection of cold beers on tap. Great atmosphere, friendly people, attentive staff. What more could one ask for. Weekend bartender is amazing, she makes everyone feel welcomed and at home.

    Best. Dive. Bar. Ever. Courtney and Brian are the reason I keep coming back for some of the coldest beer in Long Beach. Well played!!!

    What a cozy, warm and friendly hole in the wall with super duper bartenders like Courtney who is just the friendliest person you will ever meet. The place has a great internet jukebox, huge shuffle board table. Plenty of intimate seating. Nice selection of taps. Plenty of parking across the street. Plenty of Outdoor seating. And free food for special events and football nights like Monday, Thursday and Sunday. What's not to like? Come join us and just relax and leave all your issues outside.

    Courtney is quite possibly thee bombest bartender out there. Not to say she's out there... but we were. Such a pleasant time at the Annex I can't really describe it other than unparalleled. If you ask her to play 311 she will.

    Great atmosphere, friendly folks and good brews on tap. Enjoy shuffle board and local news? CHECK. Like comfy seats and good conversation? CHECK. Courtney fucking rules, listen to 311 with her. Have a good time.

    The 311 was so loud and that was a good thing. Thanks to the Annex and Courtney for a fun night. See you soon. Cheers.

    I really like this place Everyone is cool no one is rude…read more The prices are on point. I love the fact that the music acts walk up those steps onto the small stage, they are like right there infront of you. Not behind some barricade and the stage is not so high up. It's the perfect venue/bar. A lot of room for dancing, skanking or moshing it up. They also have stools, tables and some couches to sit down. Get there early tho. To get one of the seats and parking in that lot

    My friends really liked this bar, and the karaoke was a lot of fun. A couple years ago, you could…read moreget there around 9, put your name on the list, and usually sing before the midnight list came out. Now you definitely have to get there early, which is understandable. The reason I'm giving this one star is because of the bouncer. There's a sign saying no leaving and reentry and that bags are subject to checks. I've been here multiple times and have never actually had my bag checked. My friend wanted to go to her car to get a pain reliever, and she and I were going to step outside because the bouncer has let her leave and come back in before. When we asked, he said he would let her go out and come back in, but he wouldn't let me go with her. I explained that I wanted to go because, in my opinion, this is not an area where I feel comfortable with two women walking outside alone late at night. His response was, "It's perfectly safe." I understand that he may have a different opinion, but sitting inside the gated entrance, he's not the one who would be walking to the car with us. Later, when a male friend from our group tried to go outside with her instead, the bouncer made him read the no-reentry sign multiple times. At that point, we all decided to leave. What bothered me most was the inconsistency. If the rules on the sign are going to be strictly enforced, then they should be consistently enforced--including the bag checks that are listed on the same sign. And if exceptions are going to be made, they should be applied consistently rather than depending on who is asking. I came here expecting to have a fun karaoke night, and unfortunately the way this was handled left such a bad taste in my mouth that we won't be coming back. If you're looking for a karaoke spot in Long Beach, just be aware that this was my experience with the security at this particular bar.
