I had a private party at the MOR and it went extremely well. Thank you Amy, Rusty and the rest of the crew. It was easy to organize and they all helped make it fun.
I had never been to Harvelles before and this event was a pleasant surprise. Harvelles is an exclusive Speak Easy. It is for 21+ and a 2 drink minimum. Jazmin Ghent was the Saxophonist that performed today and it was a cozy way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The website is a great way to see what events are scheduled and to purchase tickets well in advance. The reason I did not give it 5 stars was the incident with my food order, but it was fixed once the General Manager Lisa was informed of the missing order. It was comped and she personally came and apologized. The customer service was admirable. Enjoy.
It gets pretty crowded so seating can be tough, but we werent complaining. A server came pretty quickly as we stood around at the bar looking desperate for a drink. Unfortunately the wine was a huge let down. $24-$25 for a 4 wine flight (2 oz pours, but theyre generous on the pours).
Been coming here for a few months with my friends and boyfriend, at least once a month to see the Seduction show they have. I have always felt it was a little weird and never felt quite like a show to me. Didnt care for most of the acts and a lot of the same girls just werent impressive. Always felt like it wasnt worth the money. Finally I had been invited to a huge birthday celebration for my girl Jessica last weekend and we saw the Dirty Secrets Disney burlesque show and it completely blew my mind. NOW THIS was a show. I could not believe how many dancers they had and they did Disney proud! The host was a funny guy with a beard and the door people were super quick to get us in and seated. (Probably because we were a huge party, but either way I felt well taken care of)We had really good seats because we had a huge group of over 20 people and I felt like the waitress with the cool hair was the best! She really took great care of us and made the whole experience so much better. Food was good but a little slow. Drinks were amazing as always. They have a good bar staff.I didnt realize they had different shows at Harvelles, not just the same Seduction one so now I am going to be looking for the Dirty Secrets show from now on because truthfully it was the best show I had ever seen as far as burlesque is concerned. I liked it better than anything I had seen in LA as well. Its a shame they arent every night because it actually felt like a show.Great job Harvelles! I will be a costumer for life now!
I took my husband here on a special date night. This was absolutely amazing, all the performers did an astounding job. I saw the Circus of Sin and Im definitely going to be back.
Went here for anniversary to try something new. We went for the 11pm show but arrived early. They let us in with no hassle while they prepared for the show. The earlier show crowd was still there,the seats were full so we waited by the bar. When the show started we were taken to our seats and it was a much smaller crowd than before. The MC was cool but since the crowd was smaller they were kinda dead. Each act had a special talent. My favorite was the opening act. She sang while doing a strip tease. One lady was really flexible she used a hanging prop and then there were 2 special performers. It was a variety show and over all it was different not like the boot popping strip clubs. I would go back but to the earlier show because the crowd makes a difference.
All I have to say is wow what a carefully curated show tonight specifically it was a hip hop show and it was a lot of fun I like the vibe it had Several artist from different States and different parts of California so is a very makes show the drinks are moderately prized and it had that like basement vibe that you get a New York City in the middle of Long Beach so I really support this place 5 stars well deserved
Show was entertaining and the food was excellent. Had the turkey burger. The sauce makes the burger.
A wonderful hidden gem in Long Beach, and always a fun night out if burlesque is your scene. Dont forget to tip your lovely dancers!
This sort of underground feeling you get like if you were in a speakeasy gives good vibes and the show was really great
Excellent spot for a venue. Intimate area. Nice bar and food. Located in downtown long beach area. Cozy...
I pretty much come here thanks to the Dirty Little Secrets Burlesque. Been coming here for years as long as they have been performing at this venue, and whether its sitting at a table or just standing and hanging out, they do a great job with their service.For the food, They have a small selection of food, but its a small bit of the appetizers from the Cngregation Ale House on the upper level. I usually get the tots and the artichoke dip (with actual artichoke).aParking is pretty tough on most nights, but If i get lucky, im able to get a spot at the street. If you park at the Pine apartments structure, they do have a flat rate during the weekends to park there, but if you intend to stay there for an extended amount of time, its worth the safety and the rate.
This is one of the best places for Jazz music Ive been to.
This might be one of my new favorite venues in downtown long beach area; although the worst thing about it might be that it got pretty hot in there during a show, but theres not much you can do about that, and Im sure the fact that the bar is located underground doesnt help much.The staff were all super friendly, the show was awesome and we even got free tickets to get in; there was a two drink minimum when I went, but thats not too bad considering the fact that their prices arent the worst. I dont know if I would call them cheap, but they were affordable enough.Atmosphere is really what makes this place, that and their great staff who always seemed friendly and ready to help.
My #1 to go nightclub! Staff is nice, especially Ryan! He would always make sure my friends and I get in when the line is long.
The place was amazing! Mia and her band was top notch!
I loved this place! I attended a burlesque show for the first time ever and enjoyed it immensely! Friendly staff as well as the other guest I interacted with.
Decent space. Bar staff mix good drinks. Best part are the shows. Plan a date night or guys night out for The Dirty Little Secrets Burlesque. Fun and witty, great production and sexy, not raunchy. Best show at Harvelles.
Awesome underground bar, with a sick vibe.
Great ambiance and amazing entertainment with the Dirty Little Secrets Burlesque troupe.
Interesting place to see shows and hang with friends.
Had an amazing time!! I would definitely go again
The host & waitresses were cool, the burlesque show was better than I expected.
Great music good food excellent service
The burlesque was very entertaining. The stand up just interrupted the show.
Great prices on drinks, and the cost to get on wasnt bad either. I did ga and sat at the bar and had a great time. We went the last Saturday of the month for the circus of sin show. It was a fun show, Ive been to other burlesque shows and this was a little different. They all are dancing in different spots and with different things, live singer thats not the girls. All around glad I went! Might go back for another themed night
A bit too raunchy.. Could be done with more class
I had a blast at this place! There was a cheesy mediocre burlesque show but it was entertaining none the less. The food was great and they had vegan options! The drinks were extremely good and gave you just the right buzz. I would definitely recommend this spot for just a good night out with friends!
We had a great time, nice atmosphere
Great place to party had a great time,but keep an eye on your tab, can. Get a bit shady!
Amazing show. Cannot recommend it more for a night out.
I love Harvelles! Great atmosphere, the staff is extremely personable, and the lovely ladies ALWAYS put on their best show, everytime. Ginger is hilarious and they interact with the attendees like family. I always have a great time
The Dirty Little Secrets show was incredible! Love the venue, feels like an old vaudevillian night club
Cool spot for Sunday jazz. Nice atmosphere and vibe. (They could have used more staff to handle the crowd, though.)
Great place to see live music.
Best place to put on shows for sure
Take an evening and get transported back in time to an old fashioned burlesque show. Classy and provocative at the same time, the show includes live musicians with serious talent along with dancers who truly know the art. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The crowd is a big mix, but it was about equal male and female. Couples, groups, convention attendees, and possibly a bachelor party or or birthday celebration were included. This doesnt have a red light district sort of feel. Everyone is there to enjoy the show. Nothing sleazy. Most of the performance takes place towards the middle of the seating area, but the show moves around and includes even the bar as dancers perform on the bar itself. Concerning the bar, the bar tenders know how to mix a true cocktail. The selection is pretty impressive, not like you would normally expect at a place that centers on a show (like the 2 drink minimum at comedy shows or whatever). The manager, Lisa Williams, is very involved in making sure things run smoothly as i saw her assisting servers, the door, and even behind the bar. The door is manned by a very polite bouncer. This is a great way to change things up rather than the typical bar hopping. NOTE: there are different shows. Each theme is a little different. I suggest Circus of Sin. The singer is incredible as an added bonus. Amazing show
We went to Bobbie burlesque tribute to Tim Burton. I know some people have had mixed experiences but mine was first rate. It was a Christmas present for my boyfriend. Service and seats were just perfect. Show was so good! Bobbie keeps it moving! The girls simply beautiful!
First time and really enjoyed it.
Great place for whatever music you enjoy. Great ambiance, great service and extremely nice staff! Enjoy!!
The Little Miss Nasty Ladies were so skilled...beautifully erotic without being tacky it was super tastefull and there energy was unbelievable.Miss Sophi was our favorite shes BEAUTIFULHOTSEXY GORGEOUSJAW DROPPINGwe loved her.Thank u Little Miss Nasty Ladies and Harvelles LB for an amazing show.
L.O.V.E. I.T. went there on comedy night with my boyfriend we both had amazing time. Aaaaaandd drinks have normal prices
Had our cousins bachelorette night out, burlesque show was awesome. we had a great time!!!
Excellent go see the Corcus of Sin last Sat of the month
Great shows. Great drinks!!
Fun and quirky bar. Good atmosphere. Strong drinks. Surly bartenders. Will visit again when back
Live band music was great, but dance performance was ok. Table service and drinks was not up to expectations. Youre better off drinking beer than their mixed drinks (which didnt taste like they had any alcohol). We had lemon drop shots and they tasted nothing like lemon drop shots whatsoever (which, by the way, were $10 each). For a first timer, this place was ok, but most likely wont be going back.
Always a great time. Gotta get the good seats though because the venue is small.
The food is decent... but the shows are awesome
What a wonderfully weird spot. My girlfriend and I sort of stumbled into the place just in time was a pretty awesome late-night burlesque show. We had a delightfully strange night.
Very chill, awesome burlesque shows.
Brought my husband to celebrate his birthday at Harvelles. I was a little apprehensive about coming since I hadnt been there before. We had a great time! The ladies are beautiful and quite talented with their art of tease & dance. It is a nice place for a couples night out. Show up early to get good seats. Tip the ladies while they perform or give your cash to the tip collector ( the girls come out to the crowd but make their way back to the stage, no lap dances ). They occasionally call people up to the stage. You are welcomed to take photos, no touching. Ambiance is sexy of course, chill, nice people out to party. Its not a club so dont expect to dance all night. I would definitely come back.
Great intimate venue for some incredible jazz.
I went to hear The conscious Rebels play jazz music, it was amazing They are the new age mo betta blues I call Josh Thompson The saxophone player : Shadow lol
Their drinks are good, shows are amusing, only downside is if you get seated on the left side you might have a hard time seeing the stage
They have a fabulous show
Jazz on Sunday afternoon.. smooth atmosphere..RSVP for party...salad Greek..yes
Great place to catch a burlesque show. Cocktails arent priced too expensively, but I felt that they were watered down. Food was delicious.
Loved the winehouse experience
Great cozy venue.
Watched a Great Burlesque Show based Tim Burtons movies... Had a great time... Good food and drinks, cant wait to go back!
Great venue, great sound. Only minor details, the VIP section is now packed in with no moving space and the A.C. has a hard time keeping all the extra bodies cool and comfortable.
Harvelles is an underground club a lot like you’d imagine the original speakeasys wouldve been back in the 1920’s. It’s a FUN place to take your date, group, or even your girlfriends! It’s a live burlesque show - Sexy. Funny and very entertaining. Great place to have a good time.Drinks and food overpriced.But overall a great time
Loved the atmosphere, Vandell Andre was excellent, the music was great, drinks could of been better, but I really enjoyed it, will go again.
This is the 3rd time Ive been to Harvelles & each time has been a unique experience. We had a great time.
Awesome venue for live music, nice ambient lighting to set the mood. Parking is $5 until 4am. Drinks are priced accordingly.
The burlesque show was eehh.
Amazing shows, great drinks and food! Love this place!
Jazz concerts live! So good
Great show! Good service and drinks. Will go again!
Awesome place under the congregation
This is not a venue you want to book a show at. I would suggest considering another venue completely. Unless you would like your guests to be overcharged for poorly served drinks, be shoved out of the way, flash lights shown in thier faces, all while being extremely aggressive and rude to guests so that they could squeeze another show in for the night.. One guest was severely injured while trying to leave. She was blocked in by all the booths that had been pushed back blocking any possible exit.. It was the most chaotic, unprofessional venue I have been in. Not to mention a HUGE fire hazard!!
Even though some of the food is Bar Food, The Food was very tasty ... Taste buds exploded with flavor. I had to go back the next day for more.
The first time weve been there ever and had the best experience of life and we enjoyed ourselves and will be going again soon
Love the ambiance of the place. Always have a blast with the burlesque shows, just seen Dirty Little Secrets perform there for Zombiewood Burlesque and they were amazing. Always have the best time.
Dark and Sultry great place for a date night. Staff/Servers are all on point. We went for the The Winehouse Experience and it was excellent!
Truly enjoyed that 3pm show with G Mack and the band. JazzKat Entertainment ️
Love this place. Always a great show!
This is a cute underground bar in Long Beach. A little backstory, Ive been there three times now, for various shows. I went Thursday, 2/7/19, for a comedy headliner that my husband is a fan of. Its not real roomy in there but is ventilated well enough. The ticket process is insane and every time I tried to buy tickets for their reserved area, on the website it turned out to be just general admisssion. I bought 2 $10 tickets ($20), which was the most expensive ticket they had on their website. (Long story, the website wasnt working properly) So I upgraded another $20 when I got there. We were seated in the middle of the room, and then shortly after was asked to move, which I did not mind, because of the lighting in my eyes, but the table was not better, stage was blocked by someone (more important? Bc I asked to sit in the booth they had, when we were asked to move and was told no, at least 15 mins before anyone sat there).My most upsetting issue was last night I had a vasovagal episode. I passed out due to several triggers in the room, ( including one lady who was vapping) So I put my head down on the table, trying not to make a scene. Now I dont remember the wait staff asking if I was okay, but my husband told them I just needed some time. (Not our first pass out). And you could see I was in physical distress. (Sweating profusely, I couldnt hear or see due to tunnel vision, laying my head down on the table) I tried to sit up several times because I was told I couldnt sleep. I wasnt asleep and that was verbalized to them. You see if I sit up too fast, Ill just pass out again. Well, the bouncer came over and told me I would have to leave if I couldnt sit up. I have not paid $40 to sit in an obstructed view and be told I may have to leave. ( Which would have not been physically able for me to do.) I did sit up, because my husband wanted to see the headliner, and passed out two more times.So as my review ends, the acts were okay, the drinks are good, the tater tots are AWESOME. They shows I have been to did not start on time. Last night started 30-45 mins late. But their management is lacking. Does this establishment not cater to those with disabilities? (i am a disabled military veteran) I think maybe a little more customer service and compassion would go a long way. Especially on a night when Mr. Harvell was there himself (sitting at the table we were moved from).
Great music and atmosphere.
Came here for comedy night along with Berlequse dancing. So much fun with my guy. He liked the dancers.
A great place indeee
