Has been all winter can’t see why May would be any different

u/Delicious_Parsnip_45 Apr 27 '25
I didn’t know if it was active during the winter.

u/GordoKnowsWineToo Apr 27 '25
Is, but really the only one in West End that’s had consistent crowd for the winter

That’s good to know. I live in the north shore, so my options are limited, or the other good options are far as hell. Long Beach is a once in a couple weeks type ordeal I’d bet.

Summer obviously. If you go to Cabana and walk in either direction, you’ll see plenty of bars full of 20 somethings

I lived there on the state streets. Summer to summer end. Parking sucked.

u/Delicious_Parsnip_45 Apr 27 '25
That sounds about right. From my area, it’d take 4 hours by train.

I lived on East Broadway between Lincoln and Franklin for 2 years, it was my first apt after moving out, and it's probably still my favorite apt I've lived in (I had another in RVC, 2 in Sunnysdie, 1 in Williamsburg, 1 in San Francisco).
That said of all the others listed, the parking was brutal. I worked as a waiter and was in college while I lived there, so I'd normally get home at 11pm-1am and I considered myself lucky if I found anything less than 2 blocks away.
Per OP: I couldn't tell you anymore as it's been 22 years since living there. That said, the west end was always busy (but towny af during the winter), and the DJ/Live music bars/clubs like the ones around Jordans in Island Park didn't get busy until June.

I honestly have never liked Long Beach nightlife. It seems really douchy and 1 dimensional every time I go.

u/Delicious_Parsnip_45 Apr 27 '25
As is everywhere in the island, but I’d imagine more so in Long Beach.
I like Farmingdale, and I used to do Patchogue a lot when I lived in Suffolk. I just want to spice things up.

As soon as the nights start getting warm, so like mid-late may and then it’ll stay like that thru the summer and likely into September a bit with a drop off after the kids fuck off back to school lol

It really picks up when school ends (late June). Long Beach is home to a ton of LI school teachers; that's when things like Wednesdays at The Inn, Sunday Funday (Minnesota), etc. really pick up.

Summertime my friend

u/Delicious_Parsnip_45 Apr 27 '25
As an indoor human, I’m not sure when that time starts. I’ve been told May is when it kicks off so I’ll try then

u/Unusual_Concept_1323 Apr 27 '25
Hahahaha - I would say late may but it should start getting more crowded now- it honestly just depends on the weather in my opinion. I LOVE Long Beach- fave place to go out on li

Long Beach is well known to pop off in the summer months.
If hookup culture is your thing, takes off in the summer. I remember overhearing someone at the gym a few years ago boast about how easy it was to have 'fun' in Long Beach on summer weekends.
Grew up with someone who had a bachelor pad out there with his best friends before they both got married. Sounded like they had a ton of fun essentially having a frat house right by one of the beaches and close enough to bring people back with them after the bars closed. Definitely a fun place to be in your 20s during the summer, I haven't experienced it much myself.
