These other review are pretty accurate. I had an older friend tell me to call him if I ever wanted to hang out here because it wasn’t a safe place. lol. Saturdays are packed as hell but the DJ’s selection is on point if you want to dance. super cheap drinks, the margaritas are great, and fast service. can’t escape the fact that the crowd that parties here is not the best, hence the wanding for the guys when you enter. not highly recommended but also not the worst place to drink.

Inexpensive drinks that are made correctly by friendly people behind the bar. Good music, and a nice little dance floor. I always ride my bike and lock it to the fence, would be nice to have a rail or something to lock it to.

It’s my fault. I exposed Karen N to this place because of my teeny girl-sized bladder. In the midst of a crawl, I just had to make a pit stop. This place is truly the Twilight Zone. Next to La Tuna, it felt like I was in Laredo. The guy with us got wanded, but it never went off(although it should have) and we were allowed in looking like the hot mess express. They let us in carrying a backpack. Isn’t that a hazard everywhere? Granted, we were on bikes, but still. If you’re gonna wand a man’s junk, shouldn’t you at least check the backpack on his back? Yeah, it was $ 8.25 for 3 well drinks. No, my G&T wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some pretty awful well G&T. The well bourbon and whiskey was pretty rank, though. If cheap drink prices are all you care about, then sure, this is the bar for you. I’ll just say that this is not exactly my scene. There comes a time when a bar that requires a wand isn’t the one I want to be in.

WTF just happened? I am still in the two mile radius of hippie zone… so where are the skinny jeans, non prescription black rimmed glasses and pedal bicycles? Nowhere to be found. That’s where. We were doing an awesome crawl that wouldn’t end and needed a poddy break. The smelly one here did the trick. This place is interesting. It plays music in a language that I took for three years in high school. Which is cool. My hips dont lie but some of those girls on the dance floor were lying to themselves about what dress size they really are. No worries, entertaining for us while we watch you grind on eachother like stuffed sausages. I know I’m giving you one or two stars«the Beach» not Tabasco sauce whatever you’re listed as but I’d come back. You’re just as entertaining as Chula’s in Htown. And $ 8.25 for three drinks with a call out of $ 1.50 wells 7 – 11 on Sat night? Your crowd is like a movie. Just missing the popcorn. P. S. If you’re a dude, you’re going to get the metal detector wand down. Sorry bro.

GURL!!! I would love to say that this was enough said, but it isn’t if you cant see my body language. So after a lovely dinner at La Tuna just two blocks away my friends wanted to grab some liquor on a Friday night! No crime in that! So some one mentioned«The Beach»! We walked up, a decently dressed group of 5, and were quickly asked for our I. D’s and then to lift our arms so they could Wand all my no no spots. I told the door man«I usually ask for a guy to buy me dinner ‘fore he gets this close»; there was no laughter. Once allowed in to this establishment I ordered around of drinks and was pleased to find that a round of 5 shots was only 7.50! Mind you we got there early but this happy hour went till 11. So I knocked a few back with friends. The clientele was«diverse», mainly a Chankla aka Flip Flop and«I can’t believe she is wearing that» kinda group. At one point I dropped a dollar and when my friend Charlie went to pick it up for me, this lady, in an electric blue sequence cow boy jersey, got up out of her seat and snatched it and said«oh that was mine»! We let her have it… When I told my Mother I went there the next day she gasped and said that her and my father and been the year before and a drunk man blind sided my dad and beat the day lights out of him, it wasn’t till my mom screamed so loudly that the bouncers came in. So in short, have health insurance prior to going and tell your friends and family you love them first… I mean if you really need the 1.50 wells you gonna have to compromise something. Oh but the DJ was good!

Attention Unilocal,it’s called The Beach now. Get it right please. I had low expectations about this place because I’ve heard bad things like people getting stabbed, shot and whatnot. However a good friend of mine from high school invited me to go with him so I went. I was expecting it to be a real ghetto hangout. Before me and my friend walked in a security guard searched us using a metal detector(no invasive pat downs like at B&N, thank goodness these guys at The Beach are caught up in the technological age!) and we walked right in. I was expecting to hear nothing but Tejano/norteno/cumbia music but the soundtrack was somewhat diverse. Top 40/pop, R&B and hip hop was blasting and then the Tejano/norteno/cumbia music started blasting. Most of it was old school Tejano though, which still sucks. The dance floor was tiny. I was amazed how many people fit on the floor without anybody getting bumped off. lol The crowd was 99% Hispanic, most of them were in their late 20s-mid to late 30s. There were some lookers in the place. There wasn’t many scary folks as I expected.
