    Beach Fossils
    Ronda N.

    Watched the Beach Fossils band at this hip spot. Perfect place to watch bands perform or to listen to dj spun tunes. The acoustics are well placed for fantastic sound when bands perform. There are pool tables and seating throughout for customers to chill and hang out with friends. The full service bar is perfectly located near the back for quick access. Loving Touch (LT) is a great addition to Ferndale. It is easy to get to with a parking lot in back or tons of nearby parking on the street.

    Electric Six show during Pig and Whiskey

    The Loving Touch is seriously cool. The Loving Touch, once an infamous massage parlor, thus the name, was shut down and turned into a dive bar, and concert venue. They have a large bar when you first walk in, some pool tables, and a stage for bands and live music. They host lots of events...concerts, themed nights like a Wes Anderson night, Radiohead night, Grunge coverbands night, and $1 beer night. I came for one of the $1 beer nights before and they had some decent craft beers for $1. It was really crowded and the crowd was getting a little drunk and rowdy but it was still fun and a good time. Mostly hipster and rocker crowd. I'd definitely suggest coming here for live music. I was just here over the weekend for the Pig and Whiskey Festival. It started to downpour and was a complete wash out so they called the rest of the fest on Sunday but they moved the live music down to the Loving Touch. We were there specifically to see Electric Six, so we were so pumped that they still performed. The stage is near the back of the venue and we were right near the front. The stage isn't very elevated, so you can get really close and it's a smaller venue anyways so perfect for intimate shows. They put on an amazing show!! Lights were good, sound was really loud! Partially deaf in one ear when we left, but so worth it. I'll definitely be back to check out more live music. One of my friends said Grunge Night is a blast. Also great place to grab a beer at the end of the night. WAB and The Emory are right next door so great places to eat and pregame before a show. You can buy fee free tickets at WAB or The Loving Touch during business hours. There's a parking lot right behind the Loving Touch, and it's 50 cents an hour for parking through the week, free after 9 pm and on Sundays. Awesome bar. I'll definitely return.

    To be fair, the wonderful staff and manager made this a good review. I have hypermobility issues so I needed a chair, and they accommodated. The workers and the manager didn't make me feel awkward about it and that made my night. The show was great, acoustically the building sounded pretty good. Constructive criticism, redo your bathrooms because the stalls don't lock (2/3) and maybe elevate seating somehow? More high top booths would do you guys well. Btw this is not a slam on the loving touch, I had a good experience but these changes would of made it amazing.

    For a cheap Sunday night out we stopped at the WAB for 2 dollar pints and then walked next door to The Loving Touch to play pool.

Walking in, the black and gold nuances strike you immediately and sitting at the bar, watching each drink being made is really quite fun. Their cocktail menu is absolutely spectacular. What a wide range of choices with all the major types of liquor available in one form or another. My bartender developed the program and she was super knowledgeable about it. I didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment on that, but for a pre or post dinner cocktail, I can definitely say this was an awesome spot to come out to.

Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.
