Artesia Bar

A very fun bar with a chill crowd. They do karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays, always a good time. Strong drinks, unisex bathrooms with condom expensing machine, outdoor patio "inside" the building you can smoke in. No real food options nearby though. The Mexican place next door closes early and isn't open much

Great bar. V low-key but like not trashy low key. Bartenders have always been really cool (they put up with a lot), and most of the time it's my shenanigans. Great pour. Great prices (4/5$ well until 9 I think are the prices ).

I have not been out to a bar/ in awhile. Reason being is that I just wasn't having fun. Until the other night my sister and I wanted to find a simple place where we can get a drink and Dance (together). We found that place. The Artesia Bar. I started having fun as soon as I walked in. The people are great. They're friendly. I had the best time I had had in years... Definitely going back . I just might make this my "place to go"...

Ive never been here on a Monday. Tonight was amazing. Music, open mic...lgbt acceptance. Might be my go to night if they keep it up. Reagan the bartender kicked ot tonight. Dennis is amazing. Matthew and Andrew too. Pick a night and have fun....oh...theres Dakota too!

Love the atmosphere, the drinx were reasonably priced. Especially loved the cute bar tender Matt or Mike, he's the sexy one pedaling booze. :) I got the tap beer, verry fresh, cold, at demand. Had a fun time for my first time, especially, going loanly. Easy street parking. 5/5

About as perfect as a neighborhood gay bar can be!

Great little gay bar with drinks and overall a fun time regardless of the occasion

Nice bar, good music at a level you can still talk. Pool table and nice outdoor patio seating.

For the first time in Artesia bar I loved the atmosphere is fantastic, very cozy and with good music. The craft beers are delicious and the service, fast and friendly. Without a doubt, a place to go back.

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

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!!

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!

It's alright, went on Wend trivia night. Nice Halloween decoration. Small place and fyi it can get crowded.

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!

Cute small neighborhood GAY bar with karaoke, pool table , smoking patio and good looking bartenders. Dive bar feels, but not dirty or dark enough to truly be a dive. Its a gay bar but wont make you feel uncomfortable.

Great atmosphere. LGBT friendly. The karaoke night is cool.

I wish I got the name of the douche bag bartender with cheaply dyed white hair but he was literally yelling at the top of his lungs telling people to get the eff out and it hadn't even hit 2am. It's sad that this is only gay bar in the community and have douche bags working there. Would never go back nor would I recommend. Just go elsewhere
