Country Night at Alex's Bar, Long Beach (Free)

Midweek in Long Beach gets a boot-stomping upgrade on Wednesday, November 11. Alex's Bar is hosting Country Night, a free evening built around country DJs, live country bands, drink specials and a floor that is meant to be used for dancing. If you are making a list of things to do in Los Angeles County that cost nothing and do not require a plan, this one fits.

When: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 9:30 PM to 1:30 AM Where: Alex's Bar, 2913 E Anaheim St, Long Beach Price: Free (21+) Lineup: The Boys From County Hell, Blue Dream Players, DJ Cowboy Fresh

What to expect

The flyer promises four things: country DJs, drink specials, country bands and dancing. The live portion comes from The Boys From County Hell and Blue Dream Players, with DJ Cowboy Fresh covering the spaces between sets so the floor does not go quiet. The listing does not publish set times, so plan to arrive near the 9:30 PM start if you want to catch everything.

Alex's Bar is a neighborhood bar with a music room, and a country night suits that easygoing character. Expect a casual crowd rather than a dress code, though nobody will mind a hat or boots. It is a bar show first, so the vibe is loose and social, with plenty of people who came for the music and stayed for the dancing.

Getting there and practical info

Alex's Bar sits on East Anaheim Street on the east side of Long Beach,. Street parking in the area is the usual option, so leave a few extra minutes on a busy night. The event is 21 and over, so bring a valid ID.

Entry is listed as free on DICE, which is also where to check for any change to the details before you go. Free does not guarantee a spot once the room fills, so earlier is safer than later.

Why it works on a Wednesday

Most of the week's bigger shows land on Friday and Saturday. A free country night in the middle of the week is a low-pressure way to see two live acts and a DJ without paying a cover or fighting weekend crowds. For anyone tracking things happening in Los Angeles County outside the usual weekend rush, it is an easy yes.
