The Mineshaft

Cash only.Drinks are strong and bartenders are fast and attentive. So far, no coverage at the door. I've been a few times and always have the time of my life dancing. They have great music and ambiance is amazing! Very well air conditioned because it gets so hot dancing. They have an outdoor patio where people smoke and stuff too. Love this place. Great vibes, great people, great times.

Nice little neighborhood bar, along Broadway in Long Beach. Cash only, the occasional go-go dancers, some jello shots at times. Weekends tend to be packed. Nice air conditioned atmosphere.

Would be nice if the bartender spent more time serving the customers than talking to his friends. Treating all customers as revenue based would be nice. Does he not understand where the money comes from? Much of the bartending staff leaves a lot to be desired! Would it hurt to get a pleasant pleasing bartender for a change? What happened to Johnny?

I came here on a Sunday for a night out with my best friend. We were only here for a few hours but I really enjoyed my time and the vibes at this bar. There was a lot of eye candy, but of course, typical me didn't approach anyone. Drinks were fairly decently priced compared to other bars that I am used to in Los Angeles. I believe each drink was around $7 when I was there. The bartenders and staff were really nice. The music was good. The drinks were good. The crowd was good. This place met all of my expectations in a bar. They also have outside seating. Can't wait to come back!

Bar person was totally incompetent, weak social skills and long waits for drinks , friends got drinks before customers. This bar needs 2 bar personnel. Not impressed.

I have really enjoyed my last visit, drinks were great! John who was bartending that night, was just the best! John makes his own syrup from scratch, and really makes a huge difference in the quality of the taste! Wasn't to crowded, nice vibe! Keep up the great work!

It's 2024. Start taking F-ing credit cards! It's ridiculous that a bar would still be cash only, not to mention the horrible service. I went with a friend tonight. We were waiting on the bartender who took forever even though the bar was practically empty, but whatever. We waited patiently. Then when we ordered and my friend was going to pay, the bartender said "it's cash only. There's an atm over there. Come back to me when you have cash." Then he quickly snatched away the drinks and walked away. I'm not going to pay a fee just to withdraw money, then pay for an overpriced drink, and give a tip on top of that to a rude bartender. We left and went to other local bars for drinks. We won't bother spending any money here going forward

I did not feel welcomed at the door. I couldn't make this up. My other half and I (we are both men of a certain age. I am black, my husband is white.) approached the front door, and were greeted by the door person who was talking to an intoxicated person. He told us to go right in, cool. This is where it gets a little dodgy. The intoxicated person says directly to me, "I want to see your identification." I laughed it off, but then they said "No, really show me." It started to get very uncomfortable. That's when the door person tells me that the intoxicated person was one of the owners of the bar. I was surprised and stunned, but I showed them my identification. They could see that I was surprised at their behavior and then this is what they said to me, "You're a good looking black man. I just wanted to flatter you." They never asked for my white (equally handsome) husband's id. Still a bit stunned at their behavior, we went into the bar. Something just didn't sit right with both of us, so we left after one drink. So, this is one of two things: either it's an intoxicated bar owner so out of it they are inconsistently enforcing id checks, or it is an intoxicated bar owner exhibiting racist behavior. In either case, it was an uncomfortable situation and we won't be back.

White guy reported me and without asking me about my side they told me to leave even though his was th hostel person.

Bad service tonight, there was a short line at the bar and the bartender served the person at the front of the line then went and talked to his friends then eventually came back (didn't serve his friends). I was taken back, were we invisible? Was the goal to make everyone wait? Certainly communicated we are not valued customers.
