Taxidermy Moose looks best in a pink light.

Located on the Pacific Coast Highway in the heart of Seal Beach, Dave's Other Place is a comfortable neighborhood bar that can't quite decide what it wants to be. Equal parts Biker Bar, Sports Bar, and Dive, every breed and creed of human is welcomed into Dave's flourescently lit arms.

Primarily a beer bar, Dave's Other Place is stocked with the standard domestics (Budweiser, Bud Lite, Coors, Coors Light, Amber Bock) and the usual imports (Heineken, Stella Artois, Guinness, Corona, Pacifico, Newcastle). Prices are superb, with a Stella and a Newcastle running $5 total.

Don't forget to bring plenty of your hard earned, worldly respected, good ol' American greenbacks. Dave's Other Place is CASH ONLY and unforgiving about it (thankfully there are, or at least there were, several banks right down the street).

Added pluses include Monday Night Football, stuffed bell peppers, shuffleboard, ample bar and table seating, a music selection that could put Jack FM to shame, and a Taxidermy Moose.

The bathrooms are one-hole affairs and cleaner than most other dives can advertise. Perhaps it is the unflinchingly stern gaze of Clint Eastwood that makes you want to tidy up the restroom all the while making it difficult for you to pee, or the patrons of Dave's Other Place truly do love this bar enough to be sure the bathrooms are spotless after every use.

With friendly regulars,  and walls shellacked with everything from boobs to bikers, locals to celebrities; Dave's Other Place is a typical beach bum dive bar. Stop on by, ask "Pickle" for a few recommendations and make yourself at home.

Dave's Other Place closes at midnight on weekdays, with standard bar hours through the weekend. Ample parking can be found during the off-season in the surrounding neighborhoods, but be courteous. The wealthy are trying to sleep.
