A Modern Day Speakeasy Comes to Long Beach

If you thought the speakeasy died out as soon as prohibition was over, you might be surprised to find that one of the newest amd exciting places to head out to on a Friday or Saturday night is a place called Speakeasy Art Gallery.

Speakeasy Art Gallery is bringing back all the fun of a speakeasy, without the  worry of breaking the law. Every Friday and Saturday night, there is live music, art exhibitions and much more according to the Gallery's Facebook page. This weekend there will be performances by a couple bands, including local Santa Ana band, Time and Energy, as the headliner for both nights. The two opening bands are Itchy Palms and Concrete Shiva.

Not only is this a good place to hear new, local musicians, it is also a great place to view new artwork. There will be seven artists displaying new artwork at the gallery this weekend.

The admission to the festivities is $5, and unlike many other venues, is all ages, so those who haven't reached the elusive 21 just yet can still come out and have fun. To keep the energy exciting, the Speakeasy has resident DJs, Psychedelic Partners playing before and after the bands, as well as a photo booth to capture the fun with your friends.

Speakeasy Art Gallery is located at 1679 West 9th Street in Long Beach. The doors for this weekends events open at 8pm, with the live music starting at 8:30. It goes to midnight both nights, so be sure to drop by and check out the live music and artwork.
