Alex's Bar

Since 2000, the stage here has booked touring and local bands almost nightly, with an early cover that stays cheap before 10 p.m. The tagline on its own site places it as music 'from where the sewer meets the sea in LBC,' and regulars are known to throw elbows in an occasional mosh pit near the stage. Trivia runs weekly, and happy hour goes Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m., with the bar open until 2 a.m. most nights.
