Agaves in Long Beach

Hey guys, looking for a fun place to get together with some friends, celebrate a birthday, or grab some food and drinks? Agaves in Long Beach is the place to go! This past weekend, a group of friends and I went to this Mexican themed spot to celebrate a birthday. We went around 7 when it was still a nice family restaurant, the lights dimmed, music mellow, and really a great environment to sit down, grab some drinks and appetizers, and catch up with good friends. As the night progressed we noticed the tables in the restaurant slowly clearing out. The music was beginning to get louder, there was an influx of younger to middle age people. Before we knew it, there was a live Dj, multicolor lights, a dance floor, and it was a fun filled night of dancing and fun! At around 10pm is when the restaurant gets transformed into a nightlife type of venue. The later in the night it gets the more likely there will be a cover charge to enter the venue, usually ranging from $5-$10 bucks. This specialty of this restaurant is its wide variety of different types of tequila from different parts of South America. The Menu has a wide variety of appetizers main course dishes, and desserts for vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well.

Agaves is def a must visit place if you are in or around the Los Angeles/Long Beach area!
