Another fun night was had catching up with friend. It's like the good old days when we would meet up for coffee or a late night meal and then end up here. 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. read more

Nice bar, definitely an upgrade from the bars in the Gayborhood on Broadway with a nice patio! The drinks were very good especially the espresso martini's. We went on a Saturday night and they had a good DJ who played videos that actually matched the music, good vibe nice crowd. read more

Great place to watch drag race! The drinks are good and reasonably priced, the back patio is beautiful and overall loved the chill vibes.

I had a few decent times here - I always went during non busy hours - I wish people were more social with me - but anyway I'd go quite early as I had a curfew at the place I was living - they always gave me free soda chaser which was super nice - though one night I think I got spiked and some guy seduced me and stole my phone - so I haven't returned since. read more

Very fun gay bar with karaoke, gogo boys, and lovely patio. Bartenders make classic cocktails, like the Sidecar

I went here for more than 15 years, used to be good. However, beware of malice from bartenders. If you complaint know that management doesn't care probably because they have received so many complaints that think people are lying. read more

Had a great time here. Huge outdoor patio area with ambient lighting. I'd consider this spot to be more of a chill and hang with ur friends vibe. On Tuesdays tho they have a bomb drink special $5 you call ur drink! They also have karaoke on other nights Deff would recommend if ur in the area. read more

A bartender said I had to buy my own drinks; the bar would not allow others to buy them for me. There was no sign stating any such rule. He insisted I immediately purchase another drink for myself, before I finished the drink my friend bought for me. So I chugged it down and left; the bar lost a sale and a customer. Bizarre. Jimmy the doorman is great though. read more

First time here on my birthday yesterday I had a great time! Drinks were good, music selection was great & it was nice & clean. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

My friend got roofied here. PLEASE BEWARE!!!! She only had 2 drinks and was absolutely out of it. Please please please be aware and cautious this is not a safe place read more

My very first gay bar and I think I chose the best one to start!!! The bartenders were such sweethearts when they found out it was my first time! A dancer I tipped was also so sweet he made me blush! All around great vibes, will definitely be going back! It's certainly more of a club feel than a dive bar! read more

This was a cute hole in the wall! I was on the hunt for some silver. Fox cox but unfortunately I didn't find a big one. Staff was nice and the crowd was very colorful. One crowd def made it clear there is always time for dick. read more

100% the Best Drinks, that their awesome bartender served! Also, great crowd, and it's very clean inside and out. Give them a shot!

Silver Fox may refer to the original owner who was probably in his 50's with an impressive, silvery grey mane of hair. As I recall, he was said to have owned The Pacesetter Shop, a chic gift shop, catering to the carriage trade at the South Coast Plaza so some of the features found at Silver Fox may be due to his "good taste". Enter through a streamlined Art Deco foyer. Bar starts immediately to the right w/ liquor bottles tastfully mounted on gleaming glass shelves properly lighted. To the left are tables & chairs for drinking & viewing the large screen TV which was showing the Oscars to a large, loud crowd, SRO. SF looks & feels like a "gentlemen's" bar for a more mature, perhaps more well established clientele. This is the classiest Gay bar in all of Long Beach if not all of greater LA at least in terms of appearance now that we have entered the dark ages in terms of lack of aesthetics & comfortable space in the first quarter of the 21st century. 3+Yelp stars. read more

Great ambiance, great drinks, great staff, amazing music. This a true gem for the community.

Great food, drinks, service, ambience is warm and cozy. Great DJ and sometimes with live band.

We had such an amazing time there! Such a beautiful place! So much potential to be a local favorite! Cutest outdoor area! We loved it! read more

Best bar ever, would highly recommend. Danny is ok. Sometimes his attitude gets the best of him. But, he's nice to look at. The rest of the staff is incredible- especially Johnny. He will take care of you with no questions asked. Karaoke on Monday nights are the best thing eve! Here every Monday for it. David is also the best (: read more

No effin *'s the way I was treated by my own peeps after being a client for many many effin years.... Got cut-off only bc I asked them for limes after my friend and I tipped them very well on every round. Trust me this is not the first time staff here get upset at me for asking them for limes, they just effin lazy to cut them limes. Their attitude towards people is the worst, they think their caca don't stink and they only give you good service and smile at you after they see the damn money. read more

Been going here forever and obeying Covid rules and The door man came up to me but none of the other women standing at the disgusting bathroom without masks on. Only me and said he would kick me out. I choose to spend my next $50 at a straight bar. Liked the bartenders but HORRIBLE SERVICE. If you want to discriminate against straight people, Then do it right. Don't hide behind covid. read more

Great drinks Friendly staff. Always a Good time. Better Uber or Lyft or cab. Parking is Tight

Stopped caring my favorite. Woodford Kentucky straight bouben whiskey. Not cool. Will drink soda I guess.

The Silver Fox was the first Gay bar I visited as soon as I was of legal age. Why? It stood out to me. I remember walking past it when I was 18. I always wanted to go in. WELL, I went in! Here's what I had been missing out on all those years: As soon as you pull those glass doors beneath the shiny words SILVER FOX, you enter a totally different world. Totally different time zone too. After one drink here (they're strong!!!) you're not only lost in the music, you lose total track of time. I guess it happens when you're having a good time, right? You'll never catch a seat at the bar. Perhaps on a Monday between 5-7pm, if you're lucky. Majority of the time bar seats are taken and there isn't too much seating out in the lounge area. So feel free to bring a beach or patio chair! (Just kidding, please don't do that) There's a patio out back but unfortunately there's a 'no drinks out in patio' policy. Used as more of a smokers mingle zone. The lounge itself is a quite small with a few tables for pairs of 2, and 2 larger tables big enough for 4-10, but plenty of space to dance if you're feeling brave. There's a projector playing Billboard charts top 100 music videos in the center of the lounge, also on 2 flat screen tvs on opposite corners. I believe the genre of music changes depending on the day of the week. The sound system is terrific, as it's loud enough to get anyone lit even if it's Justin Bieber or The Wiggles, but not excessively loud where you have to shout to have a conversation. The bartenders are marvelous! They are very friendly, engaging, and fast. I've had the pleasure of having my drinks made by Johnathan on several occasions. Even when there's a massive line, he's fast but efficient. Never handing me a drink without ensuring I am pleased with the taste first. He's also turned some shots into drinks for me. He's so personable and wonderful. Every drink I've been handed here has been strong! Ay-O! The bathroom is an unfortunate situation though. Not only is there only one bathroom, it is quite small and reeks of urine. I'd recommend for females to hold it in, or walk up to 7th and Redondo's Starbucks if they're open. Although this is a Gay bar, the crowd ranges. Ultimately, everyone is really friendly and there to have a good time. Gay, Straight, 21, 46... Silver fox is a great bar that provides strong drinks that are adequately priced, a welcoming environment, and a Jell-O shot waiter in a thong after 10 PM. read more

The Silver Fox - Gummy bear shot cocktail, thanks Johnathan! - Gay Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Thank you, John!! Great time, great bartender, great drinks!!! Loved our time at Silver Fox! Thank you, boys for making these lesbians feel welcome!! read more

Sadly I must say it was weak... As a straight man coming out with my multi sexual group of colleagues it was awkward.. First treated with two "bouncers" who have no shame asking if we knew where we were. Us being innocent of the idea, of where we were but knowing of the atmosphere it was uncomfortable.. The drinks were as if I was trying to be drunk for weeks to cum... I want to have fun here cause everyone is amazing! But yeah! Way to strong on the drinks. read more

I started going there in the early 90's. Amazing to see John is still there!! Used to be so much more classier in the 90's. Maybe social media has changed everything. Drinks no bargin anymore. I was there for Halloween. Guys were having fun read more

this place will change your life! go! you won't regret it! tip your bartenders and dancers!

Everyone tells me this place is packed on a few nights for Karaoke (wednesdays and some other day), but every time I'm there, it's pretty empty. The outside is impresive, suggesting something off the Vegas strip. The inside suggests Chuck E. Cheese. The dissonance is overwhelming. The people here are friendly enough. And the bartenders will serve you a stiff one (drink, that is! ;-) ) A few suggested improvements: Lightiing: I've been to grocery stores with better atmosphere. Dim it down a little, please. Carpets: Yeah yeah yeah, rainbows show your pride. But yeesh! read more

My gay friend and I love this place always great drinks, friendly Bartenders, cool Djs and ambience pretty nice in general

I was hesitant to check out this bar because I like staying in my bubble, where I live, where I can easily walk to the Brit, Mineshaft, Falcon, and Sweet Water. One evening, after work, my friend invited me to go for 2 for 1 on a Tuesday night and I'm so glad I took him up on his offer because it allowed me to finally try out this long beach institution. Drinks are cheap and strong, the decor is in need of an update in the best way possible, and the bartenders are very nice. My favorite part about this bar is the patio. It's spacious and a little tranquil and that surprised me a lot. I definitely want to check this bar out when it's busy because the few times I've been it was a little slow. The bar being more crowded may influence me to think it's more fun and change this from a 3 star rating to a 4 star rating. Also, I love the the exterior was used for American Crime Story!!! read more

I go there every year for the toys for tots toy drive. They usually have a good spread for the dinner but this time whoever thought Indian food was a good idea needs to be removed from the Christmas toys for tots steering committee. Indian food for a holiday meal is not appropriate. Nonetheless, it is a very nice opportunity for the bar to get back to the community and engage our partners like the fire department to carry out this charity. read more

Mixed crowd, neat layout and good stocked bar, patio in the back has new sunshades put up and some seating/tables. Inside has a few bar height tables and stools, a small-mid size open area for dance floor space, and two larger tables that double as go-go-dancer space, complete with stools to sit in also. Carpeting and dim lighting throughout. Video DJ with the MVs shown throughout the inside, music flows through the outside. Friendly staff and food provided on sundays around 3pm, so that's really cool. :) drinks are decently strong but you could, jello shots are sold for local sports/lgbt organizations on the occasion. 2 gender neutral restrooms surround the DJ booth. read more

I don't usually frequent gay bars, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My roommate invited me down for his birthday/kickball kick-off party. Surprisingly, I had a really amazing time. Everyone was friendly, dancing, and having a great time. The whole atmosphere was lively and inviting, and it was really infectious. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again. Plus, there's karaoke and, believe me, it's fabulous. read more

Started coming to this place many years ago , more attitude from the local WeHo reflects. Over priced drinks , bathrooms always a nasty mess, and the staff over rated by recent reviews. Another Covid shut down and this place will be just like Ripples, done. read more

Well, just stopped by the Silver Fox. Great place, good drink. John the bartender was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. Good conversation; nice folks! read more

This the gay Cheer"s bar. No place more friendly! Great manager - John Barnes. Expert bartenders who pour really welll....John Paul, Danny, Scott etc. they all do a lot for the community fundraisers, Christmas parties, etc. We have had a number of parties there in which we brought food and the staff provided warmers etc. so you can see I'm totally biased but for good reasons! read more

I went to a birthday party this past weekend, the staff is very rude, I would not recommend this place to anyone. The only good thing here were the reasonably priced drinks read more

By far the best bar that has the kindest, respectful, and safest staff. Outstanding customer service. I'm so glad your guys are open once again! read more
