    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!

    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!

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.

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.

What I really appreciate is that sometimes it's even kid-friendly, which makes it a great option if you're not just going out solo or with friends. I've been coming around since back when it was Iguana Kelly's, and it's been cool to see how the place has evolved while still keeping that local, neighborhood feel. The location is super easy to find, right next to a donut shop and a mechanic, and across the street you've got a 7-Eleven, Subway, and a few other small spots. Plus, Tommy's Burgers and an Arco are right nearby, so everything you might need is within reach. I tried both the cucumber mixed drink and the mango mixed drink, both were really good, but I personally preferred the cucumber one. It's less sweet and way more refreshing, especially if you're not into overly sugary drinks. We also had a BBQ chicken pizza that they cook in a fire oven (I think it's called a wood-fired pizza), and it was really good, definitely worth trying if you go. Service was good During the outdoor event, they had things set up really well, including a sign that read "21 and over beyond this point only," which helped keep things organized. They also had jumpers outside for the little ones to enjoy, along with tables and chairs so everyone could hang out comfortably. Parking can be a bit tight in their lot, but there's always street parking if you take a minute to read the signs. Overall, it's a great hangout spot with a welcoming atmosphere and something happening more often than not. Definitely worth checking out.
