For theater and local town activity seekers, Long Beach does not disappoint for entertainment. If you are stimulated by "Off Broadway and "Off-off Broadway" play productions, ballet recitals or sophisticated modern dance extravaganzas, Long beach will have something for you. Most performances take place in evenings but daytime matinees commonly occur on the weekend, especially on Sundays. L.B.'s performing arts scene is rich from downtown to sections Like East Village, Belmont Heights and Bixby Knolls. L.B. provides dozens of quaint and large theaters for it. See my major venue list below.

My neighbors talk about how legendary it was too :-)
But I remember it more as a bar in a strip mall with a lot of military. The strip mall is still there - Marina Pacifica Mall near the corner of 2nd St & PCH. There is a Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, CVS, and Ralphs there now. Bogart's was near the North end sort of where Ralphs is now.
