Those in search of Harvelle's Long Beach location must descend through a musty staircase leading to a space underneath Congregation Ale House. Here, guests are greeted by a dark room with hardwood floors, and plush red booths accented by moody red lighting. The full bar features a respectable offering of beers on tap including Smithwicks, Alagash Ale, Heineken and Sierra Nevada. Nightly distractions come in the way of music and burlesque events featuring an eclectic mix of top-shelf artists from indie band the Vespertines to hillbilly band Jeff & His Musical Chumbuckets.
Although it is supposedly a "Blues" oriented MUSIC venue, in this area and one other, Harvelle's disappoints. The music that this landmark nightclub DOES offer, with little exception is awesome. The Tuesday night "Jam" although more of a showcase for the many talents of James Garrison, is possibly the best night, musically, of them all.... or quite possibly as Harvelle's themselves put it..."The best night of Music in Long Beach" Wednesday nights is one of the few disappointments on the calendar so I won't mention the artist(s)..
On the weekend, Harvelle's has decided to mix music (loosely applied) with burlesque and the crowds are around the block to get a seat, showing just how much the general public is drawn to sensation over stimulation. All in all, I give the joint a top rating. They are perpetuating decent to sensational live entertainment at a high risk in today's social climate.
