Photo: Richard Grant/Q Voice News Long Beach queer spaces The Crest and Executive Suite have GoFundMe campaigns to help them pay down the massive debt they have accumulated while being forced to stay closed during COVID-19.
Because they have a restaurant license, the Executive Suite was allowed to re-open this week only for outdoor dining under a tent in their parking lot in front of the club.
The Crest, located in North Long Beach on Cherry Avenue just north of South Street, is a dive bar with a patio that turned 25 years old last year during the lock down.
