About this place The Mineshaft

The Mineshaft is a low‑key leather bar on Long Beach’s Broadway strip, catering mostly to older denim‑clad regulars. At 1720 E Broadway, the venue sits amid the cluster of gay spots that line the street. Inside, the lighting is deliberately dim, a pool table sits against one wall, and the décor is stripped down to the essentials. Most of the patrons are men in leather or Levi’s, many of whom have been coming for years. If you walk in without the gear, you’ll still be fine; the crowd isn’t clingy about dress, just comfortable in its own skin. The bar opens at 14:00 on weekdays and at noon on weekends, staying open until 2:00 a.m. Drinks are cheap, which keeps the place lively after dark. Afternoons are almost empty, but evenings—especially on Saturdays—fill up quickly. A short walk brings you to the other Broadway bars, so you can hop next door without missing a beat.

I was there back in May and there was this African American gentleman playing disco and he had a unusual DJ name. I freaking loved his sound, he was playing disco I've never heard of before. All I remember was that he had a neon light of a CDU with his setup. What is his DJ name and are y'all gonna bring him back?

I've been going to local gay bars solo since April and this is my favorite! The vibe is great, dance floor is fun, and I meet new friends each time I go. People have a more chill vibe here than other bars in my experience.
