Hole in the wall low cost drinks bars in downtown longbeach, ca?!

Downtown LB has been built up too much in the past 20 years. Too many high end spots. Stay off Pine Ave., too pricey. Actually, anywhere between Ocean Blvd. and Anaheim to the North and the 710 frwy and Alamitos to the East and west is pretty much out of the question.

There are alot of bars and restaurants on Broadway East of Alamitos Ave. all the way to Junipero

The Reno Room on Broadway and Redondo has a GREAT Happy Hour. Free finger food. Last time i was there they had dollar bottled beer with the food.

Long Beach specializes in dives.
There are lots of dives along 4th Street and in the East Village Arts District. They all have websites or list their happy hour specials on yelp.com

In addition to the Reno Room check these places out:

V Room
Ashley's
House of Hayden
Shannon's on Pine
Red Room
O'Connell's
Clancy's
Fern's Cocktails
Congregation Ale House
Puka Bar (Willow St.)
Alex's Bar (punk club)
The Pike Bar & Fish Grill is not a dive, per se, but they have good food. It's easy if you bar hop along 4th to eat at the Pike.

I used to go out 4-6 nights a week before the recession
