We had a large group of friends get together for someone's birthday this past Saturday night. About 25 of us were inside and at one point a few of us stepped outside to get fresh air (it gets really stuffy in there) and some to smoke. The bouncer gave us a nod as we stepped out - and he saw us do so.
When we went to go back in 10 minutes later, the bouncer stopped us and told us they weren't letting people in and that we had to wait in the long line that had now formed. We reminded him that we were part of the large birthday party and had already been inside for 2 hours. He said there was no way to prove that and refused to let us back in.
When our friend who was celebrating her birthday came over to the door to speak to the bouncer - he shrugged her off and refused to help. He then let a group of young girls parade in ahead of us. When we spoke to the manager/owner, he said "talk to the bouncer". When we replied "So you really don't care do you?" the manager laughed back "Nope! I really DON'T care!"
This might be service I'd expect at a pushy/crappy Hollywood bar - but not at a bar on 2nd street in Long Beach. It was sad how little the manager/owner cared.
Cons: BAD SERVICE
