You can go back to work and come back out for happy hour." "It's given us a little bit of runway to get up to speed on food, but we want to have a place where you can come during the day and have lunch and you don't necessarily have to have a cocktail. "The pandemic has been a silver lining so to speak, because it's given us an opportunity to tweak the food concepts," Giesecke said. The bar had intended to introduce food service at some point, but the pandemic accelerated those plans. "I'll be able to manage it easier than having little pop-up tents or the screens on the top, because the water is going to get on those people."Īcross the street, Chill Bar Palm Springs - with a nightclub atmosphere, male go-go dancers and various theme nights - has offered outdoor food and beverage service on its patio since August.Ĭreative director and owner Rob Giesecke said he spent $50,000 at the end of July to build the kitchen. Building it was easy because the previous tenant, the Rainbow Bar and Grill, was a restaurant and there was already a grease trap installed. "That will be able to protect and keep the rain off people," Miller said. Temperatures are expected to be in the 60s with a chance of rain, but having a tent will be an advantage. “I have the privilege of being the mother of a gay daughter so I get the opportunity - she’s in Vegas, so I’ve been to pride all over and they’re great no matter where we go - but she will tell you this and I can say this, there’s something special about Long Beach,” Allen told ABC.The weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday makes Miller nervous.
Long Beach Proud events this year included a nighttime bike parade, bar crawl and beach takeover, according to ABC. Let’s use it and lets making accessible to everybody,” Trimble said. “People just wanted to be together and what better place than the beach. Trimble said the fire was motivation for 2021’s May event to show people the LGBTQ+ is still in Long Beach, according to ABC.

Although the tower was replaced and repainted by lifeguards, the cause of the fire has not been determined, according to the Long Beach Fire Department. In 2021, a rainbow lifeguard tower was burned down, which inspired Trimble to create LB Living. It is the first time this year they moved it to July and over the last few weeks, I got emails, phone calls you know, messages saying, ‘Hey, are you doing anything for the original pride weekend,’ so that’s really what came about,” Trimble told ABC. “Originally, Long Beach Pride was the third weekend of May. To accommodate a higher than expected turnout from last year, LB Living joined forced with Long Beach Councilwoman Cindy Allen to create an official event called Long Beach Proud, which took place May 20-22. Sal Flores-Trimble, founder of LB Living, said when pride was canceled last year, he put together a few LGBTQ+ events in Long Beach, according to ABC 7 Los Angeles. A Pride event in Long Beach, historically held in May, was moved to July this year, but the Long Beach community still wanted to celebrate.
