Sometimes you need an anti-WeHo. Maybe you're not feeling the $10 parking and $10 drinks. Maybe you don't wanna get dressed up. Maybe you don't wanna deal with the noise or the attitude. Enter C Frenz- real, relaxed, a little rough around the edges, and, because God Loves Valley Girls and Boys, in Reseda. RESEDA! Who knew, right? Don't expect to find the love of your life here. Sometimes there's just a few people, and when there are people, there are hot messes among them- the dude who somehow spills every single drink on your table with his booty, the dude who tells you he's HIV positive before he tells you his name. But you'll probably find a friend- this is a friendly bar, a homey bar. Inside there's cheap drinks, couches, free popcorn, a couple pool tables, a little stage for karaoke singers and go-go dancers, and most importantly, really bad homoerotic art. Like, really bad. Outside there is a huge patio with tables, twinkle lights, and a food truck that sells heavenly $2 tacos into the wee hours of the night. It's a sparkly little gem worth diving for. read more

This is a great local neighborhood club. Steve, the owner is really cool. I promote a Trangender/Alt club event there named Syren!, which happens the 2nd Saturday of each month. For more info, please go to http://www.syrenclub.com. Syren! has been doing events at C. Frenz since September 2009. It's a nice roomy club, with 200+ capacity, two-sided bar, great lighting and sound system, an elevated stage, nice open-air outdoor patio that's covered, and separate lounge area. The staff is super friendly (thanks Chris and Matt) and it's a very welcoming atmosphere. I'm quite pleased having Syren! events there and encourage people to patronize this club/bar. It has a very chill attitude and you'll like it. read more

Chris has been there for years. I haven't been in a while but I have the best memories here. It's a great day dive bar. Everyone is very friendly and I really used to enjoy Sunday drag night. Absolute pure fun! I want to go back one day. This place make for a wonderful time. Only thing bad I could say is they could use a bit more parking but that is it. read more

Sammy is a chill bartender without the WeHo attitude. Goth kids are fun to look at, just don't make eye contact. Locals hang out on the back yard style patio. Cheap drinks are cool. Cover charges are not. C Frenz when WeHo feels too far for a beer buzz. read more

Great place. Friendly staff. Very fresh food. I love this place. Highly recommended C Frenz.

So imagine this, I live in the San Fernando Valley and I don't want to drive out far to West Hollywood so I find this nifty hidden Gay bar in Reseda *shrugs* I'll try it. Went on a Friday night, boy was it dead. Friendly bartender named Matt, he's down to earth, really fun to talk to. Moderate I suppose with prices for alcohol but I know what you're really looking for is, HOW ARE THE MEN HERE?? Well, if you're seeking to find the older dudes from adam4adam and grindr you avoid on the internet do not come here. This place I've come to realize has an older based community. I've come twice & once there were some pretty good looking gogo dancers who were entertaining basically themselves since the floor was dead (this was a Saturday night) & friday there were no dancers. I do like the information available on taking care of yourself sex wise & the condoms, its comforting to know they're there even though I wouldn't spot a single person to use one with there. Its usually pretty dead & not to mention the pool table that is coin operated, only dispensed 4 balls not including the Cue ball. Smh. Not a place for young folk unless you're into daddies, otherwise you'll love this place LOL. read more

Good chill spot. The drinks are good at a reasonable price and the bartenders are nice. It's a good place in the valley. A mom and pops type of place where mom would not approve of ;) I'd go back! Satisfied valley boy. read more

I'm really torn about how many stars to give here, my first time in the bartender was great. Super friendly. It was a late Monday night in March. So freaking cold inside, and basically empty. It's no wonder, they had one small space heater in the whole place.. Keeping in mind it's a gay bar, if it's a choice between fixing the heat or the A/C you should choose the heat...if it gets too hot guys can take their shirts off, it's not as much fun wearing a parka. I've now been on every night but a Wednesday. And although it's not terrible it's not great either. Drinks are a bit pricey, and the drag show is a turn off. I can live with the drink prices. But the drag not so much. Here's the deal. The gurls mostly look good, they deserve kudos for makeup and dresses. The lip syncing and dancing is hit or miss based on talent, nothing wrong with that.. The biggest turnoff is the fowl mouth and degradation of the gurls by the MC. I'm not a prud, but not impressed by how many times you drop the f bomb or call someone a slut.. Also I get that these gurls are syncing for tips, but one reminder is fine, pretty soon it's like panhandlers on the street, "Give me money. Give me money". It makes customers who are not really there for the show, feel like they should leave if they don't want to tip....bad for business. also the way the show is set up, it causes people sitting at and blocking the bar to stop buying drinks, and if you want a drink you have to walk in front of people and maybe get in the way of the drag queen making her rounds for tips. just a suggestion. Then there is the patio. Huge plus, but where are the fire pits or patio heaters? Would really add to the experience to be able to sit near a fire while drinking with friends. The couches are a plus as well I would recommend a couple more, making it more loungy and comfortable, but lose the massage chair, I find it hard to believe it makes you any money, and it's not comfortable to just sit in. Finally the gogo dancers, I'm not sure what the normal schedule is but I was there on Saturday 1030 to a little after 11 and here come both a male and female gogo dancer, why are they on the same schedule or even breaks, split them so there is at least one on at all times, it seems really late if they were just starting and strange that the stage was empty for so long of they were just on a break. Also separate them maybe one closer to each door so they draw me in. Overall cool place, but not my first choice. Sorry read more

This place is perfect for what it is. A great little gay bar in the valley. No drama no stuck up attitude just a chill place to grab a drink. The cocktail waitress is always super attentive and polite and sweet and music choice is usually enjoyable. read more

I LOVE C Frenz!!! The drinks are cheap and STRONG which is a rarity at most bars I've gone to, the people that go are super nice and friendly, and you can watch gay guy porn on the TV!!! Is there a better place for a little straight girl to lose her soul? Probably. But not this close to CSUN. ;) My friend Jesus and I usually go there on Tuesday nights for karaoke and have a good drunken fun time. :) read more

I way prefer Micah's review of this place. The smell really says it all. I ordered a vodka soda w lime and it was hardly drinkable- with a twang of whatever they're spraying to keep alway the bugs. The crowd here is hardly attractive- instead middle age nasty guys who barely graduated high school. Im editing the last part, that tallied the entire description but lets just say they play some very graphic (but funny) porn. read more

Easy FREE parking, Not many pretentious wannabes here. I really like this place. they have cheap drinks, good vibes, good mini tacos, and hot bartenders. My favorite bartender there is Matt! He is awesome and makes the best drinks. This place is pretty diverse, you never know who you are going to see or meet here. Its truly a hidden bar/lounge bar in the valley. The only reason why i gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because there are alot of older guys here AND its not the nicest place as far as new bar tables and chairs. (its either a hit or a miss on Tuesday nights for karaoke) BUT i like it here and i make a trip there like once a month! read more

Honestly everytime ive been its been a blast, the music is always good, the dancers have been attractive, the bartenders are delicious and the wait staff are so friendly. Drinks not pricy and they aren't so strong you choke. Plenty of parking in the back or on Reseda Blvd in front. I've been here with different friends over the years and everyone's enjoyed it. Even been here during their earlier hours when the sun is still up and they're cool in there. I don't see why this place couldn't be a usual for me and my buddies read more

This is a gem, for Reseda this is like a tiny gay oasis. It's totally adorable. The admission is free, the crowd albeit is like a back of strange marbles, each one more different and strangely shaped than the next, but very friendly and welcoming. The drink are good, the bartenders are friendly and will make you what you want if you just tell them how. The drag show on Sunday nights is entertaining to say the least. So many different characters, so much imaginary estrogen! If you're going to the drag show, don't forget your 1's, cos i felt toally uncomfortable and off-gaurd when I had nothing to tip. Sorry Ladies! Excited to see more! read more

Pretty amazing place I had a great bartender named Michael he actually remembered my name and my drinks and he made sure I had drinks all night I never had to look around for him And he gave me advice He was such an amazing I can't wait to come again I will bring more friends and recommend more if my friends Thank you Michael your amazing and kind and helpful read more

Great friendly place wit great people !! And some pretty good looking bartenders to!!

Gawd I came here back in the day of it being called Incognito and having just 1/2 the space. I used to go a lot back in the day when I was an 818er and didn't want to go to weho... now living in Hollywood and going to 818 is like just wrong haha Been here on a few occasions over the past few years..nothing too much to remember other than it is a neighborhood bar with good drinks and cheap prices.. I'd only go back if i was lost with a friend in the 818 and needed to cure the parched mouth ahha read more

Great simple gay bar for the valley. It's spacious but still a dive bar style. The crowd is a lot of regulars and everyone is very nice. Drinks are simple and drinks are cheap. There are special nights, like Tuesday Karaoke, that keep the place a little different sometimes. But it's still a very low-key bar. If you want something that will give you stories to tell your friends, this is not the place. This is where you can go to relax, drink, talk to friends, and play pool. read more

Came on a Wednesday night. We thought there was going to be an amateur strip show, but we hear that has been moved to Sunday. Oh well. The place is pretty cool mellow. It is not super trendy or run down. Just an inviting feeling. Mixed crowd from young to old. 2 pool tables, darts, and a cool out door patio. A lot less pretentious than WeHo. We are planning on coming back on a Friday or Saturday when we hear the good nights are! read more

Been here once, then work ordered tests done weekly for sobriety checks, so I had to stop from returning. Nice little dive bar. No meals served here. read more

Very cute and small bar that you could pass up and miss out on its wonders! The performances were great! The atmosphere was welcoming! The drinks, well let's just say they weren't stingy on using the liquor!! I'm glad my partner bring me! I'm sure we'll be back! read more

I came here with my brother to get a drink and Its a really small lowkey bar with friendly people and good drinks. I loved the music they played and the videos on the tv. The bartenders were pretty friendly too. I had a good time and my brother loves it there. read more

The reviews on this bar have to be coming from the owner and staff. There is no way to rate this place any more than a bad dive bar. Where is Bar Rescue when you need it?!?!? John Taffaer please help this dump! Saturday night. Maybe 35 people. Most tired older crowd. Mood is depressing, people are drunk. Sad that this is what the San Fernando valley has to offer! read more

I've been to this bar on special event and it's been awesome! Everything was going good until on Thursday night on 11/7/16... The bartender was so rude! He was getting pissy because we didnt tip him at all even though my tab was still open and the night wasn't over! He started arguing with my friend because of the tips and to top it off he called us losers when we were leaving!!! Never again! I can't believe what happened that night .. read more

this place is AWESOME!! friends told me about it and not only is it great the people are really friendly ! drinks karayoke sweet bartenders and great company read more

This place is such a disappointment!!! The only gay bar in the valley is literally a hole in the wall-- if we can even call it that. The main source of music is a jukebox which costs 1$ a song. Half of the time we go it's metal music or outdated 80's tracks on blast... seriously what establishment lets their clientele choose their own music?! No one EVER dances. Half the guys are elderly, sitting at the bar on a4a. We did go on one night with a drag queen who was surprisingly entertaining. We've had some solid experiences there but mainly due to the random people we've met by surprise. This place needs a revamp!! It could be doing so well!! I've really tried to believe in this place... but sigh... read more

My friends and I stopped by this place after looking for a good bar in Reseda. We stopped by and it was a pretty cozy place and it had a great outdoor patio. The crowd was a little on the older side and there weren't too many people. I can't remember if we went on a weekend or a weekday. I bought Long Island Iced Teas for my friends and every single one of them them was incredibly strong. Neither one of us could finish the drink. The music they play is typical gay club music: Gwen Stefani and the likes. Wasn't too into it. The dance floor is a little small and has a huge mirror on one side. I can possibly imagine myself stopping by in the future, but that is a big maybe. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! My girlfriend and I went here tonight for the first time ever and absolutely loved it! The bartender, Matthew, was really nice as well as all the people hanging out singing karaoke. We were instant friends with everyone in the bar and will definitely be returning next Tuesday! read more

This is the only place to go dancing in the Valley, and every time I go there on a Fri or Sat night, no one is there and no one is dancing. And it is 100% male centered. If you go to their website, you can see that every poster for every night that they are open shows a shirtless guy. Ew. Isn't a gay bar supposed to appear friendly to all gay people? At least have ONE day a week where women feel welcome. Also, I can't check their live stream to see if someday people actually dance, because their link doesn't work on any mac browsers; firefox, chrome or safari. Waaaaah! read more

C Frenz is a great place to go with friends when you wanna hang out...talk and have some cheap drinks. I like th play darts and they have two electronic dart boards. So thats cool! If ur lookin for Weho...it aint that...which is why it is located in Reseda. But if you wanna just get a drink and feel at home with the boys...its a cool place. read more

C. Frenz is an awesome bar/nightclub! It's a great place to relax and chill out in the Valley. The drinks are cheap, the place is spacious, it's easy to park, the people have NO attitude and the bartenders are sexy and nice! If you're there on the weekend (Friday or Saturday) and see a bartender named Sammy (tall, slim, olive-skinned, cute guy), ask for a "Sammy". It's an awesome drink that is a variation on a Long Island Iced Tea and gets you started on some fun! They play hip-hop, R&B, pop, and Latin on the weekends. It's a really friendly crowd and you meet all sorts of people who are fun and interesting! They are just cool, whether they are gay, lesbian, bi, or straight. It's not just a gay bar, it's a place that everyone can feel comfortable in! Pool table, darts, a smoking patio, and a roomy dance floor to get your groove on! Also on Wednesday nights there is a male revue with a cover. It's a fun show, worth the price to check it out and have some fun! But for the most part, I go on the weekends as a good way to unwind from the week and just have some good old F-U-N! So come on by and check it out and like I said, look for Sammy and try the drink! read more

C Frenz - C. Frenz - Gay Bars Near Me - Reseda, California

Gays love two things: strong drinks and sassy gal pals. Go to C Frenz for both. I went the other Thursday night and there weren't too many people in the place, until about 9 when this girl walked in and said she was hosting trivia. All of a sudden, people were coming in and forming teams to play for prizes and best of all... FREE DRINKS! So serious. There's a round where they give away free drinks to the team that wins it. On top of that, there are prizes for the teams with top 3 scores at the end of the game. And okay, so me and my friend didn't win a prize, but we still had a blast. The girl was so funny on the microphone and everyone was having such a good time. This might also be because the bartender was pouring some mean drinks. But the trivia was definitely unique. You don't find that at too many gay bars. Oh and Steve the owner was getting in on the action too. I am soooo coming back here on Thursdays for trivia. Think it starts at 9. read more

Divey or not... a great place to come, meet up with friends and make new ones. The building is old, but Steve can not help that. Older gentleman here, just wishing to speak with intelligent folks, lively conversation and good times. Gotta love Traci. Hey folks, get another patio heater and have back up tanks. Ten people can not crowd under one patio heater. BTW, this older gentleman is a tad over sixty and married 41 years. Not into cruising other folks. Have seen many changes here, all for the good. read more

Cool place Great performance and nice people. Very recommended. Love the darts machine And the pool table. read more

drunken cycling! so the mister and i decided upon biking as our mode of transportation to the woodland hills amc yesterday. despite the weary grunting and temporary nausea that set in on route, the entire excursion was an unequivocal success, in large part because, as we wended our way back, we found ourselves at the intersection of sherman way and reseda, with the rainbow flag of c frenz beckoning us forth. nothing brings a smile and a perk up to my spirits like the promise of a cool, dark interior with steady pours, and when the mister indicated our locale and its possibilities, i knew i could make it all the way home. twas about 2:30 friday afternoon, and the bar was relatively empty save for a handful of patrons who were rehearsing for the sunday night free for all, where you can evidently perform any number of routines. lip sync? check. dance routine? check. karaoke? check. the gasian guy dancing to korean techno/pop was enthralling, and the guys and dolls lip sync routine also had its charms. perhaps most noteworthy though, was eric, an elderly gent in his late 60s or so, who came up to me whilst the mister was in the little boys' room (perhaps i ought not call it that, all things considered?) to tell me i reminded of a woman named hannah, with whom he had been terribly in love many years ago. eric then proceeded to serenade/show off his singing prowess via a charlie daniel song. thus, some four drinks later, we cycled most drunkenly toward home, where my jello-y legs promptly refused to hold my weight. i just don't get why our 4 drinks, from 2:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon, came to $30.00, which is why i'd prefer to issue forth 3.5 stars instead of 4. read more

The only gay bar in the West Valley area. If you're looking for a WeHo type bar this isn't it. This is a friendly neighborhood type bar with a dance floor, pool tables and a back patio for the smokers. Very cheap happy hour prices too! read more

so much fun to be had. Best hangout in the valley as far as i'm concerned. Seriously gay or straight or anything great can come here and party for cheeeeaaaaaaaappppppppppppppppppppppppppppp strong, strong, strong, strong drinks read more

Good music, good drinks, and small and cozy. Great place for a chill night out with friends. Parking lot in the back with lots of parking.

C Frenze has a great Happy Hour. Also, a new restaurant opened up in the drive way area. They have the best burgers. It's that little shack that has been there for years! Ask for Liz. Tell her Marina sent you. read more

Went just to try out new places me and my friends are very open minded, so gay bars don't bother us just an adventure. Drinks were strong, bar tenders and waitress were nice. My gf and I liked dancing in front of the wall mirror. Fun music, has a patio outside. Obviously you need to open to the crowd... Cute guy dancers getting it like on the pole/stage. It was pretty fun for a spontaneous trying out something new kinda night. read more
