The bartenders forcefully removed us from public sidewalk as well as the Hispanic street vendors outside.i called the police which determined the venue in the wrong for using physical force on its patrons and told them to keep their boundaries. Falcon is much more welcoming. Would not recommend for colored community members.

Had a Birthday party for my partner at the Mine Shaft tonight. Was beyond smooth! Had a really great time! The staff was so very accommodating! Jose, Ricky, Emily and Richard, as well as the doorman, were beyond awesome! Thank you all for making this night so special. You all rock!

Thank you!

My favorite place to meet, greet, and mingle. I rarely ended up going home alone at the end of the night! Great place to unwind and be yourself. They hookup up strong drinks at low prices! Come out and play!

I’ve passed through a few times now but every time I have come Douglas, the bartender, has served me drinks and every time without a doubt has made me feel so special. The last 2 times I have come here, honestly to grab a drink and go to the next bar, Douglas has literally made my whole day my asking me how I was doing simply because he remembered my face. If it wasn’t for Douglas, I probably would have not stopped by for a drink… or even stayed to dance to Whitney Houston’s “Dance with somebody”

There's a lot to say about this restaurant. It's huge, they have an extensive menu, a bar, and an arcade. They do offer daily specials on their menu. They have hands down the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had in my entire life!!! They also carry Sprecher's root beer which is a big thing up there and it's delicious. They have redone the bathroom since I was there last and that makes things better. I think the restaurant itself is very loud. The wooden booths, or table and chairs aren't very comfy. The waitstaff is average. I'm not sure the food is worth what you pay. If you're going with a group everybody can find something to eat on the menu whether it's steak, Pizza, salads or the fish fry.
I always feel like I'm eating in a cave. Next time - cheese sticks to go!

This was my first gay bar experience and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Being surrounded by so many humans who share an unspoken bond was a memory I want to hold on to forever! This bar in particular was my favorite of the bunch. There are so many bars on this strip and I circled back for more because I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and service.

My friends and I came from LA and we have never seen such rude customer service, lousy venue, and a boring crowd. It was 1:45am and they closed their restroom and facility when their GMB and Yelp listings mention 2am. That is clearly non compliant to OSHA regulations. When we kindly asked to use their restroom before we left, they refused. Completely unacceptable, unprofessional with lack of proper etiquette in customer service. Certainly gave us a bad perception of Long Beach.

The Bar has two pool tables, live DJ's. I use to live across Broadway from the Mineshaft. I met two Partner's at this Bar. It's dark and exciting for me. Always knew the Bartender's by name. I sure miss Robert and the late Ricky (Coconuts) as he was known. Very crazy Bar. When single and younger, I always found company at the Mineshaft. Lots of fun. I will have to go back and check out the newer generation now. I hope to see some old friend's. DJ's where always spinning awesome music. Drinks where just perfect. If you want to know some good Bartender's, strike up a conversation. Remember they are usually busy, so, be patient. A good place to frequent. Parking is on the street. Get there early to secure parking.

Mindshaft is our go to bar. It has everything I want! I just love all of the people that make this bar so successful. I run an Airbnb, and I bring my guests here and always have a blast. Well not a blast when I lose at pool. Tip tip tip and you won't regret it! The prices are great and bartenders knows you. They have go go Dancers on Friday and Satrday. The crowd gets pretty large without getting super uncomfortable. They have a smoking patio chill area to get to know someone. It's close to their other bar The Brit, and it's nice to bar hop like this to change the scene. The guys are fun, outgoing beach people. The music will bring you back to the good ol'days! Great combo!
