$1–10 Awesome little LGBT dive in the South Bay. Fast service and super friendly barkeeps. Also can’t beat a pool table and an outside “smoking section” when you need a break! Themed/events nights are always fun. Drag queens, karaoke, local DJ’s, etc And the drinks are really reasonable. I’d be here every week if I wasn’t an hour away lol Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Parking space Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options Free of charge street parking, Paid street parking

Had my 21st here, everyone was super friendly! Dennis helped a whole lot and was very accommodating to my party! It was on a Thursday night, karaoke night, and the energy couldn’t have been better and everyone was having a great time (even my straight dude friends were up on the stage singing and having a blast!). Back patio is a perfect spot to sit and chat, since inside gets a bit loud, though it is open air so if it’s a cold night bring a jacket. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun but casual place and I will definitely be coming back soon!

The Artesia Bar is fun and festive. The mood is always cheerful and lively, and everyone is always having a good time. On Thursday evenings, there is Karaoke night, and lots of patrons get up on the small stage and sing their favorite tunes. There is also a really good smooth jazz sax player, who plays instrumentals but also backs up some of the singers on their tune selections. Only thing is that I wish there were fewer Top 40 tunes being picked to sing, and more of the fantastic hits from back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, because there was so much great music written then! The wine is good, and you always get a nice sized glass. Though it is considered a gay bar, you can go there if you're straight, too. Anyone can go there and relax. It's a fun place to hang out and unwind, so l recommend it!

This is a wonderful little tucked away establishment that's LGBT friendly and tolerant to all it's patrons. They serve good drinks at decent prices, are very safe, private, and well-received by the community. One of the few gay hangouts available in the South Bay Beach Cities area, outside of Long Beach, Hollywood and Downtown, that tend to be a lot more risque in every sense of the word. They've been closed indefinitely due to the coronavirus, but they're much missed by all their patrons, assuredly. OPEN SOON!!
