Está pequeño pero acogedor, muy limpio y ordenado. El personal de barra al 100. Gracias por estos momentos de esparcimiento.

It is small but cosy, very clean and tidy. The bar staff at 100. Thank you for these moments of relaxation.

We were grotesquely discriminated against when we asked to sing at Kareoke in Spanish music by Juan Gabriel and Gloria Trevi. Even the person in charge of Kareoke HEATHER aggressively yelled at us to leave the place and not to come back....Unfortunate that in the 21st century there are still people with a superiority complex and they treat the customer as in the age of segregation....... We are already in contact with our lawyers and we have decided to sue, it is a matter of time. HEATHER needs to be taught a civics lesson in criminal court..... THERE ARE ENOUGH WITNESSES.

Fuimos grotezcamente descriminados cuando pedimos cantar en el Kareoke en Español musica de Juan Gabriel y Gloria Trevi. Incluso la encargada del Kareoke HEATHER, nos grito de forma agresiva que nos fueramos del lugar y que no volvieramos a llegar....Lamentable que en pleno siglo XXI existan todavia personas con complejo de superioridad y traten al cliente como en la epoca de la segregacion.......Ya estamos en contacto con nuestros abogados y hemos decidir demandar, es cosa de tiempo. Hay que darle una leccion civica a HEATHER en una corte penal.....HAY TESTIGOS SUFICIENTES.

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

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!!

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 ).
