Awesome time! Benefiting children and gift giving. Always good to bring a gift and make someone happy! Blessings to all and stay Merry!

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.

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!

Gummy bear shot cocktail, thanks Johnathan!

First of the night for St Paddy Day. Which started off as just a drink lead to a night of bar…read morehopping. It's been years since I was last here with friends. A small dive bars right on the corner of Broadway and of course Falcon. There used to be an Italian restaurant next door but it's closed now. It's in a residential neighborhood so be courteous when you're outside. We thought it would have been quite busy as it a drinking holiday but when we walked in, there were maybe 8 people or so. The place isn't big. Bar counter on one side and a couple of hi tops table along the other wall. Doubt there's room for dancing when it's packed but I'm sure they'll make it work. The bartender working St Paddy's night was the sweetest. Very friendly which is always a major plus. We sat along the bar which was nice. Who ever was in charge of the music that night was great. A fun selection of upbeat music which the videos were also showing. You don't want to show up somewhere and the music sucks. Overall, it a fun little neighborhood dive bar. It seemed more like it was utilized with regulars as everyone seemed to know each other. I'm sure it picked up later on from when we arrived. But a fun little place for a drink. It's street parking if you're visiting.

I walk up to the security guard who is sitting on a stool outside of the bar playing on his phone. I ask him, "which bar is this?" - he barks at me saying "ITS A BAR". - I ask again, "which bar is it?" He barks back - "IT's THE FALCON - I need to see your ID." I say thanks, and keep walking. If the bar can't hire security guards who can be nice and welcome patrons to the bar, they must not really want my business.

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.

Went here a little after midnight last night, most of the waiters there seemed friendly and the…read moreatmosphere seemed pretty interesting. My partner went to go use the restroom before we were going to leave but the only one open was the one that doesn't have a lock. It's got one toilet with no stall and some urinals in there, my partner and I are both trans so he asked me if I could just wait by the door to make sure no one walked in. One of the waiters came up so I just told him someone was in there. He literally gave me a dirty look before asking if it was a girl in there. He then shouted over the door asking if they were done. My partner said "Almost" but he reached for the handle opening the door into me to shuffle me out of the way anyways while saying "Well I work here." he barged into the bathroom while my partner was still inside but he at least wasn't indecent by this point. I was so mad, we left right after and I'm never going back. No part of that was okay he mentioned something about his shift almost being over to my partner while he was in the bathroom but that's no excuse to be so unbelievably rude in a place that's supposed to be inclusive. I will not be back and I hope no one else ever feels that disregarded by this waiter again. I don't really write negative reviews because all jobs come with their stress but this bothered me on a bare basic human decency level.

If you're looking for a low key, quiet meal... this is not your spot, lol. This was my first time…read moreat Hamburger Mary's, I went with friends for the Saturday brunch show. It is so much fun. It feels like a full blown party. Loud, chaotic, and definitely not PG rated. I was super impressed with the performers. I was immediately drawn in and cheering the whole time. The Queens are hilarious and clearly having a blast. They also do a great job of giving every table plenty of attention. I went for the show and wasn't expecting much from the food, and I was totally fine with that. But the burger and fries were actually really good. Also, get the stripper boot cup with the bottomless mimosa. Just commit to the experience. Go for a birthday, a bachelorette, a team outing, a Friday night, or just to celebrate being alive. You won't regret it. I can't wait to go back!

My friends and I visited Hamburger Mary's to celebrate our 49-year friendship, and unfortunately,…read morethe experience didn't match the occasion. For a venue that clearly draws large crowds and sells tickets in advance, we expected a more organized and professional level of service. There were only two bartenders handling a packed bar, making drinks one at a time while also trying to support wait staff. The result was long waits and visible strain on the team. It also seemed like there weren't enough servers or kitchen staff to keep up with the volume. It took quite a while just to have our order taken--and significantly longer for the food to arrive. When it finally did, two of our four meals were incorrect, and one didn't come out until the rest of us were nearly finished eating. While we understand that busy shows can be challenging, advance ticket sales should give management a clear idea of how to properly staff each show. We also felt it was inappropriate for our server to attribute order mistakes to hearing difficulties, especially when it impacted accuracy and the overall experience. We came to celebrate a meaningful milestone together, and it was disappointing that service issues overshadowed what should have been a special brunch. Its a good thing the music was great and the girls were entertaining
