    I had a great time here celebrating cinco de mayo! Food & drinks were good & the bartender was nice. If you come here it's best to bring cash.

    I came here on a Sunday night and it was very laid back. The bartender working that night, Billy was very welcoming and greeted us as soon as we entered. He was very sweet and charming. The cocktails were very good and reasonably priced. I would def come again.

    I've lived in Long Beach for years and always frequent the Broadway Bars and the Silver Fox and on occasion make it out Hamburger Mary's. Yet somehow only visited the Crest for the first time last week. I'm glad I finally made it. This is the epitome of your neighborhood bar. Feels super local, with a good number of regular patrons, yet still inviting to first timers like myself. Bartenders are great, it's decorated super well, and has a patio for when you need some air and if you're a smoker. Can't wait to add this spot to my Long Beach bar rotation and support them more.

    See all

    They sell drinks to minors knowingly and don't care. And the owner is really rude and doesn't know how to treat customers

    All the bartenders there are nice, but if I had to have my favorite one I would say it's Jose.

    Falcon North is really a great time. Some nights more than others, but I think this is more like a…read morehidden gem. There is a huge dance floor when you first walk and a DJ that is typically out there on the weekends. The KJ is awesome and funny. Karaoke is always a great time! The bartenders are always so nice and sexy!!! I like the shows they put on. A good time, would recommend!

    Feeling good at the Falcon North…read more This all inclusive divey queer meets gear bar is hosting some of the coolest and newest events including Power a EDM Dark techno Kink & Gear friendly night, Kub Kamp (bear centric night), Primal (pup enthusiast), vinyl/disco nights, cigar socials, karaoke nights, killer happy hours and so many other happenings from their upcoming Tainted Love Shack aka 80's dance party night to their weekly Sunday Funday beer bust. I haven't set foot in this building since it was the Eagle 562 aka Eagle Long Beach and Pistons before that. It's nice to see it finding it's full life as the sibling bar to The Falcon, infamous video bar with a full assortment of nightly events including Gaymer and movie nights. Being the first day of the week they open it was nice to see a good group of guys gathered for their Cigar Social via the SoCal Embers Brotherhood club, every last Thursday of the month. Also great to see a big crowd come in for karaoke at 9pm, a group of awesome dodgeballers + their usual suspects. They have a nice pool table, limited but spacious seating, great bar and bartenders, a vending machine full of various snacks and the patio is even more spacious and open that the inside. Drinks were reasonable, but as they use disposable plastic cups and portions can be a touch small with more than plenty of ice. I made sure to hang onto my cup to reduce reuse recycle. Parking is street and alley way and you can usually get something close if you arrive early as mentioned by others, but might have a bit of a journey if you arrive later, which I do remember being a big issue during pride time and other major weekends in their past lives as Eagle and Pistons. Restrooms are easy and clean. The bar itself is well kept and the patio area has a lot of rustic charm that keeps it divey enough. Music, DJs and KJs are all great. Card or cash is accepted for both the bar and vending machine. Open four nights a week, Thursday through Sunday. Highly recommend checking out their Instagram and/or Facebook, though their website does have a lot of the current upcoming event where you can see events for Falcon North as well as The Falcon. Enter from the alley through the patio. I have a few friends who frequent here, perform and/or host events here on occasions and definitely hope to come out and support more #SupportQueerSpaces #SupportSafeSpaces #SupportFalconNorth
