About the Artist
Alex’s Bar, nestled in the heart of Long Beach (yes, technically not LA proper, but close enough for your Uber driver to pretend), has been a celebrated dive since opening its doors in 2000. Known affectionately by locals as “the bar that inspired Merlotte’s in True Blood” (vampires sold separately), this venue prides itself on eclectic décor, an unpretentious atmosphere, and—most importantly—live performances that resonate through the bones of music fans. Hosting everything from punk legends to indie up-and-comers, Alex’s Bar is famed for its intimate gigs where the artists actually sweat on you, if you’re lucky—or unlucky, depending on hygiene preferences. Beyond music, patrons appreciate a diverse drink menu, approachable staff, and just enough gritty charm to remind visitors they’re in a real bar, not some sterile, neon-soaked imitation.
