Stopped in here after the first night of Warped Tour and left pretty disappointed with the service,…read moreeven though the food itself was solid. The location is great -- right in downtown, easy to find. The space is huge, with a downstairs, an upstairs, and a full restaurant on the opposite side from the bar area where we sat. Cool setup overall. The service is where it fell apart. We walked in and told the hostess there were two of us; she just said "sit anywhere" without showing us to a table or explaining how things worked. We sat in a booth for a while -- no menus, no server, nothing. My friend was very drunk and badly needed water, so eventually I went up to the bar myself to ask how it worked. Turns out you order everything at the bar -- but nobody tells you that up front. I had to go up three separate times: once to figure out the system and get waters, once to place our food order, and again later just to get a water refill. That last refill was the most frustrating part. The bartender who'd helped us earlier saw me standing at the end of the bar and just walked away. I waited and waited, didn't want to be that person yelling over other customers, and eventually another bartender helped me out. It really wasn't busy that night either, especially for a night with a whole festival happening nearby, so there wasn't a good excuse for it. On the plus side: my hamburger was genuinely really good, and the whole meal for two came out to about $30 -- the cheapest we ate the entire trip. My friend got a tomato pesto cheese sandwich, though he was too far gone to give me a real opinion on it. Food gets a thumbs up, but the lack of any real table service and being ignored at the bar soured the whole experience. Probably won't be back unless I hear the service has improved.

I want to start with I've come to this bar over 30 times and spent money almost every time not only on drinks, but pool and the juke box. My partner and I took a long bike this morning and decided to stop in for some free pool. The man at the bar followed with you have to spend money to play pool for free. I am recently sober and just wanted to play pool. I've never been greeted this way at this establishment. He told us to leave or buy a drink. We kindly told him to fuck off and unfortunately I will never step foot in this bar ever again. Our close friend passed away recently and they are having a Remembrance Birthday but unfortunately I will not be attending because I'm appalled at the way we were treated. You've lost my partner, me, and our friends as neighborhood customers and I will continue to tell friends and family not to go to this bar. Never seen this bartender in all my time of going here and hope I never see him again in my life. Sorry to the bartenders I've built good relationships with but do yourself a favor find another bar that will treat you like a community because this will never be the one.

It's also a LBGTQ+ friendly leather bar and happens to be one of the favorite spots of beloved Yelp SFV AMB Quintin. I stopped here on a whim with some friends on our way home from a night out. We didn't want the fun to end, so one last night cap was in order. Parking is a bit difficult, but we managed to snag a spot. There is a big bar in the center if the room and a smaller bar out on the patio. There are also two pool tables and a stage for various events. My friends ordered beer and I kept it simple with a vodka soda. They don't serve food but the bartender said outside eats are welcomed. The DJ was bouncing and the staff & patrons were friendly and welcoming. I like the vibe here and would come back. They host nightly events such as: RuPaul's Drag Race Viewing Party on Fridays. $5 Domestic drafts on Sundays, drink specials and free pool on Mondays, $6 Wells on Wednesday and various contests monthly.

The Lagoon is one of three "experiences" located at Midnight Oil in Long Beach. It is described a…read moreCreature from the Black Lagoon inspired room, but it also has some tiki décor so we stopped by to check it out after visiting another nearby tiki bar. The Lagoon has a speakeasy style entrance. Once you enter Midnight Oil, walk towards the end of the bar and look for a wooden mask on the door. Push on the left side of the door, and you will enter The Lagoon. This is definitely a small room with eight seats at the bar, three seats against each wall, and a long narrow table in the middle. Creature from the Black Lagoon décor includes some artwork and figures, and lots of greenery on the walls. Tiki décor includes various lamps, puffer fish, ropes, netting, and coconuts. There is also some leftover décor from the "Roadkill" pop-up they had in the room last year. We stopped by at 8pm on a Wednesday night, and we were the only ones in the room for our 30 minute visit which is always a little strange. We sat at the bar and scanned the QR code to look at the menu. The cocktail menu is very small with only seven cocktails, three frozen cocktails, and one mocktail. There are also around a dozen food items and a dim sum menu. I had the Monkey Delight cocktail (Hamilton 86 rum, Amontillado Sherry, Kin-a-Peel banana, lemon, $14). It was very boozy with a very light banana flavor. She had the Mexican Pharmacy cocktail (Tequila 1800 Coconut, Tequila 1800 Blanco, Pineapple, Coconut, Orange, $14). This was really good with a nice mix of coconut and pineapple flavor. I wouldn't have guessed it was a tequila cocktail. The drinks are reasonably priced at $13 to $15 with only the Old Fashioned costing $17. The food items are also reasonably priced, but we ate earlier in the evening. I didn't catch her name, but our bartender who was going back and forth between The Lagoon and The Apothecary was friendly and checked on us often. It was cool to stop by and check it out, but the room and drink menu are very small, so I don't see us coming back.

I drive through five or six zip codes of Long Beach daily and pass a lot of Mexican bars, and I've always wondered if a gringo like me would be welcomed in. After all, a wise man once said that "the only color a business should see is green" it was-- Frederick Douglas or Kermit? Anyway... If I had bothered to read the reviews, I may have been discouraged to enter. Half of the reviews mention "stabbing" and half mention "hookers", which would lead me to believe that El Paraiso is Spanish for "the knife-wielding prostitute". Instead I read the reviews while checking in, where I wrote the tip, "This place is only scary to people who get scared. Show respect to others and you"ll get it back. We're all brothers and sisters just trying to drown out or celebrate our meaningless lives." I was drunk when I wrote that-- so drunk that I might have had, in fact, a knife in me at the time-- but I'll stand by it. Not too crowded at 11pm on a Friday night, a DJ blasting music in Spanish, we slid up to the comfortable bar and met Emilia, a sweet lady who offered a shot of Patron for the birthday boy. We got a few looks from the locals, so I did feel a little like an elephant at a donkey park (weird analogy, I know, but "black guy eating pho" seemed racist). Like any new dive, I just avoided looking too long at a girl so I didn't get the ol' "qué estás mirando?" with an upside down question mark from some hombre. Or chick with an ombre. My six vodka and cranberry drinks were bright red, usually a sign of a weak drink, but the drink was served in a tall glass instead of a lowball, so I'm assuming it had the right pour but with more juice. ( I guess I could have asked for "less juice" in Spanish, but I probably would have said "games hands" or "little ghost" instead and THAT, mi amigos, is what gets you stabbed.) I ordered six grey goose and crans (I learned "OTRO!" at my first Mexican party- my friend told me "OTRO!" meant "CHEERS" so I kept trying to explain to the hostess that I didn't want another shot as she kept pouring them because I kept shouting "OTRO!" followed by "No, no, no, I didn't want another...oh fine".) They were only $7.50 which is cheap. That leaves quite enough money for gauze for all the stab wounds. So, anyway, how was the crowd? The only trouble we saw was a small fight that broke out at the end, but that could be anywhere (Emilia kicked him out). I mean 36/36 has more shady people. Met some nice, friendly, funny regulars (Ivan and Blanca). One guy stared at me. I didn't feel like I could totally be my silly self, like handing a wrapped stick of gum to the birthday boy with my mouth. That move seems pretty stab worthy. El Paraiso. A cut above the rest. And your ribs.

As we waited for our friends , we thought why don't we split among the 4 couple and pay $150 per couple =$600. Then our waiter says "oh we sold out of that package deal ". Parking was $5 and guys don't forget to tip the parking valet personnel. Holy Mother!!! as we step foot in the door , the hallway reeks of foul sewer stench . The wall behind the hallway is the restroom. . ( Management need to look into the stinky smell ) as we sat down we saw one of the bouncer spray some Lysol to masks the odor in the hallway. I've been coming here since the old owner, owned this place the sewer smelled then , but now it has gotten so bad. Now that we are talking about the bathroom, some of the bathroom does not have working sink water or soap dispenser. You need to come out of the stall and use the main sinks / soap dispenser. As we peruse through the menu we did notice prices were not listed on the menu . I asked our waiter she mentioned that they are making adjustments to the price. She would gladly print out how much each dish costs once we make our selections. Food hasn't changed much , we ordered the fried quail with salt / pepper lime dip , the quail was over fried that's it was too crispy for our taste . The Tom yum soup were delicious, we all liked the steak and anchovies dip , steak cooked perfectly. Message to the new owners : please have a plumber come out to fix the bathroom issues . Other then that we enjoyed the foods, the entertainment that night was amazing and the entire wait staff were superb .
