45 Best Bars in Long Beach

“Nice chilled bar with cool vibe. I got the Awaiting Persephone Cocktail. The taste of the cocktail with the delicious note of Pistachio did not disappoint. However, I found there was way too much ice in the drink which quickly diluted it and also diminished the intensity of it.“

“Everyone happy with meal. Large party next to us made it more noisy than usual, but still a great time. Service as always was excellent!! Happy Holidays“

“We were looking for a nice brunch spot, and we came across The Ordinarie. With a 2hr free parking right nearby, we were off to a great start even before arriving at the restaurant. There was no one manning the front, so, we just seated ourselves, and a server approached us soon after. My wife got the Spicy Fried Chicken and Waffles and I indulged on Short Rib Hash. The fried chicken was not so spicy, but it was fried up really well. The crunch from the coating was absolutely crack. And the waffles were made from rye batter that gave it a very unique nutty flavor. The short rib on the hash was melt in your mouth tender and the red wine sauce was deep and flavorful. The crispy onions and fried potatoes paired really nicely with the meat and sauce. Overall, the food was bomb, and I have to give extra points for refilling our drinks without asking. The service was just right; not too much, not too little. All in all, we walked away full and very satisfied. Highly recommended!“

“I've passed by this place for two years and never wanted to go in , because it look like a dive bar with a bunch of old guys in it ! But WOW WAS I WRONG what a great place and the staff took me back to when customer was king era !!!! The service and food was AWESOME, get the egg salad sandwich WOW what a treat!!! I can't say enough great things about this place , and u know me I can never say enough bad things if you're business sucks !!!! HERE IS A DIAMOND IN THE RUFF DON'T WALK FN RUN TO JOES!!!!!!! Badass“

“Good and friendly service. Good food. The best craft beer“

“I have been going here for many years but it's been a while since I was there. I had the golden Curry and pineapple rice. It was great! And, the service was good as usual. I really like the Upscale Interior and experience of eating there. And the prices seemed reasonable compared to what prices have been doing at restaurants all over.“

“Keep coming back to this spot, for many reasons. The food, service, ambiance, location, novelty. I've been during the daytime for a latte in the sun, and I've been at night for an incredible dinner service. I would say I prefer the nighttime experience, just because the coffee is pretty over priced, and they haven't nailed the daytime-cafe-vibe yet. Needless to say, they have certainly nailed the nighttime vibe. Wonderful small plates, super yummy pizzas, creative and beautiful dishes. Recently, my group of four and I shared a pizza and a few small dishes as well as entrees. Out of all of the dishes, my Alaskan halibut was agreed upon as the best, which was surprising! The creamed leeks beneath the fish were unlike anything I've ever had. We also REALLY enjoyed the snap pea salad. Such unique flavor combinations! The burnt basque cheesecake and marscapone gelato were wonderful treats to end our meal. I will continue to come back!“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“We went for Happy Hour on a Tuesday. The bar was crowded and prices were steep for HH, but the ambiance was nice. We had to pay $20 for parking. There was live music. The drinks were decent. The food menu is very limited. The views of DTLB are amazing.“

“Rosemallows is definitely a vibe and I'm so happy I came across it!While hubby and I were wrapping up an event, we wanted to grab a drink. We came across Rosemallows in Long Beach. The name really intrigued me and the photos on their website and on Yelp lured us in. While walking up to enter, we heard music bumping and people dancing. I was a bit confused because it honestly was giving me club vibes. But we walked in and people were just living their best lives dancing along to the best of the music. I was for it! Hubby and I made our way to the bar and parked ourselves there. They had drink specials going on so I started off with a basic tequila pineapple. After I chugged that down, I decided to get fancy with it. I ordered a Melona Colada. Let me tell you, it was soooooo delicious!! It was just perfection in a glass.Rosemallows is a restaurant, however, on Sunday evenings they have Sunday Sessions. No food is served during this time and it's just good music playing, good drinks being sipped, and just good vibes flowing around. I was all for it. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.Hubby and I are already planning our next visit.“

“I absolutely Love Love LB Unified Bar & Lounge. If your looking for an amazing time with great music, great people, delicious food - a place to meet and network with entrepreneurs, business owners and the like- this is the place to be!!! The owner Chuckie Miller knows how to make sure everyone has the Best time!! Drinks/ Sports/ Music/ Conversation!!“

“100% recommend! It was such an incredible dining experience. Our family made reservations to spend Mother's Day lunch here and we were given a private room downstairs. The restaurant is beautiful and elegant. There's also a valet parking option so you don't have to deal with the hassle of downtown Long Beach parking. There was a preset menu and every dish was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Our waiter was so attentive. Everyone had such an amazing time, especially knowing that dining out on a holiday weekend such as Mother's Day tends to bring on stress and subpar service. This definitely was not the case. The lamb chops were so good, the meatballs were tender and moist. they also accommodated a children's menu option by offering plain pasta with a red sauce on the side and grilled chicken. The kids loved it. An additional treat was an assortment of desserts that we were able to choose from at the end of our meal. Thank you for an amazing experience!“

“Great local place that has a cute store next door with a variety of beer/wine choices and some upscale snacks.Food, drinks and vibe of the bar are always amazing. Every one always seems to be having a good time whenever I’m there. The staff is super nice and helpful with any questions I have had.“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“Excellent service. Excellent food. Definitely returning. Thanks!“

“Today was our first time here...and OMGosh...it did not disappoint! Friends & family have recommended Los Compadres and finally got to try this place! Food was sooo DELICIOUS, friendly atmosphere, customer service was EXCELLENT! We definitely will be going back...we cant wait to try other food on the menu...totally recommend it!“

“The BEST happy hour! Some of the best and most popular dishes are half off and they have great deals on drinks too. I'm not really a beer drinker, but you better believe when I come here, I'm ordering a beer! Huge selection and our waitress was so kind and let us try a few that she thought I liked based on what I expressed I liked. Ambience is fun times and vibes... we'll be coming here in the summer! I know some may not like the hours of happy hour because most people are still at work, but I appreciate the 3-6pm. Poke Nachos... TO DIE FOR.“

“My husband and I were looking for a “locals” restaurant/bar every Friday. The pike and it’s bands provide great entertainment.“

“The tiramisu was amazing. The wait staff brought one for my cousins birthday.“

“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“

“Grilled Chicken pesto sammie was yummy....everything was!! Terrific service too...Thx Ryan...good fun!“

“I've been here a bunch, just realized I've still never written them a review, so fixing that finally. They are definitely a "neighborhood bar" first, cocktail bar second - it's a great chill vibe, the sort of place that's never too busy (at least when I've been there) and where the music is never too loud to be able to talk. Their bartenders are all great, and they have quality spirits and reasonably priced drinks. And they do *have* a cocktail list - but compared to, for instance, Wicked Wolf nearby, for similar prices, cocktails that aren't quite as complex or as exciting, necessarily, but they have all been great cocktails. I also particularly like that they have, at least at the moment, Buffalo Trace on hand, so I can put that in any whiskey cocktail for about the same price. On their current menu, I particularly liked the "Cameoi" (bourbon, basil, lemon, blueberry, hibiscus cider) and the "Conquistador" (corn vodka, frangelico, romepope custard liqueur - as-is, it's basically a drinkable dessert, which is great if you're looking for dessert, but it's also an easy drink to swap different spirits in - I've also tried off-menu versions with mezcal and with Buffalo Trace that were also great.) I have only actually gotten food here once, and it was a couple years ago - their flatbread was nothing I'd go out of my way for specifically, but it's definitely also something I'd be happy to order if I were hungry and I was here. That said, the *real* draw that keeps getting me to stop in here, is the live jazz they have every Saturday at 8 PM. The jazz trio that plays here is fantastic, so whenever I'm out that direction on Saturday in the evening (most likely because something's going on at Wicked Wolf), I also try to arrange to pop in here during the live jazz. Cocktails go great with live jazz, and they're a super talented jazz trio. (But it wouldn't be such a draw if they didn't *also* make great cocktails.)“

“Gay women goes to gay man’s bar, so take it with a grain of salt. My own fault for wasting a buck in the jukebox while music videos were playing, assumed it would override. Bartender super cool and nice, watched him cut someone off and give them water. I don’t think they have food, not certain. Low key in the day, not sure what night crowd is like.“

“Amazing drinks!!! I went about 5 times during the Christmas holiday set up. Definitely go early before the rush. You can chit chat with bartender and sip on your drinks. When busy, there is a huge line to order. Not the best. I was sipping in my drink while boyfriend waited in line. I was finished with one before he brought out our second round. Will say, this happens when they book the back or side for private party's. This place is a staple for us. We have gone back after holidays and will continue going.“

“This is a very good seafood restaurant. I like the food. The environment is also very good and the service is very good.“

“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.“

“Great place , strong drinks , dive bar atmosphere, very clean restrooms, this place had it all and I’m glad I found it .“

“We had our class reunion at Malainey's and the staff was incredible. So patient, professional, and such great light positive energy! Shout out to Priscilla! She was phenomenal phenomenal phenomenal. AND THE FOOD WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Thank you so Malainey's Grill“

“Came to Rosa's bar for a Thursday night with friends and it was amazing! The owners are so sweet and the beer was nice and cold. There are pool tables and a karaoke machine. I will definitely be back and I am happy they are open again. I would definitely recommend coming with friends, playing pool, and singing karaoke.“

“Casual bar that offers two bands usually per night, starting around 8:00pm and finishing by 10:00pm; Everyone out by 10:30ish. Small offering of natural wines and beers offered in cans, bottles and four taps. Large back patio with tables and chairs. Upstart local bands and upstart touring bands play here most nights. Several beers offered for $4.00!Vegetarian options: Only food offered here is either regular hot dogs or a vegan hot dog served up by the bartender and two flavors of individual sized potato chips. They may sell small packages of beef jerky from a local vendor.Parking: Paid lot offered at corner of 4th and Cherry streets. I think paid street parking stops requiring payment at 7:00 p.m.“

“I had good time Friday night with with family I kept a smile on my face all night and mingled with friendly people. I love being around an older crowd people enjoying their self that’s what it supposed to be about Black people coming together having fun without fighting all the time. Peace one love.“

“it has been many years since I have been there but it was a great place with their three or four times when I was stationed on the USA USS New Jersey“

“Love it here!! Great bartenders and always great music. I also enjoy the large patio.“

“I go here every now and then to meet with co workers and I don't know the bartender's name but it was on 5/16. I left my wallet and I was able to retrieve it the following day with everything in tact. Not to mention drinks come by quick also :)“

“Friendly bar, inexpensive beer, and cider. Lovely staff“

“Frozen take home Pina Coladas are amazing! Creative Whiskey and gin drinks are like nothing I’ve tasted, In a good way! They are full of flavor, refreshing and keep you wanting more with every sip. Such new inventive cocktails that are delicious and fun!“

“Every time I’ve been at Black bar a very enjoyable experience, it has a wonderful selection of whiskey which I drink. They have wonderful, creative cocktails that I’ve tried and never been disappointed. The pizza is wonderful as well. Please try it. The ladies who run it are very hospitable And will bend over backwards to make your time there something to talk about. Very talented and charismatic bartenders as well.“

“Maybe the best bar in Long Beach because of Macara the bartender. So fun it feels like family.“

“Great spot to see live music in Long Beach, love this place!!“

“(Translated by Google) It was nice, I had never visited one of those places, but it was nice there I met the father of my 2 babies 4 years ago!!!!(Original)Fue lindo, nunca había visitado un lugar de esos, pero fue lindo ahí conocí al papá de mis 2 bebés hace 4 años!!!!“

“Nice place to enjoy with friends & family . Too bad it closed down in LB“

“We have been to Gaslamp about five times now to see our favorite Rage Against the Machine tribute band, Renegades of Rage. They never disappoint. This time there were two other tribute bands opening for them. Tribute band for Nirvana, Nirvanish was better than I remember from seeing them once before. The lead singer must have been a trance medium. Because all I seen and heard was Kurt Cobain. They also sang a Filter song, Hey Man, Nice Shot, that is in my favorites playlist. The owner of Gaslamp came out on stage to preform in a tribute band for Smashing Pumpkins called The Great Pumpkin! What an extremely pleasant surprise! We've watched them before and I don't remember being this impressed. We sounded so much like Billy Corrigan! Their drummer flew in from I'm not sure where but I'm sure glad that he did. Awesome drummer! Renegades! We love you guys! Johnny, Diego, Jeff and Mike...I'll never get tired of hearing you guys and watching your shows. If I can't get RATM, I'll take Renegades any day, any time, always! We were there with our son and daughter in law celebrating my hubby's 51st bday. The band made him feel special by giving a shout out for his bday! If you haven't seen Renegades before, I can't stress enough that you should find their next show and watch out for the mosh pit! We did not eat here, but Renegades lead singer Johnny did recommend them. Hubby wanted Tamales from Angie's in Norwalk instead. The drinks are comparably priced. Good wait staff. Bathrooms were clean and we'll stocked when we got there. The dance floor was not sticky, just a pet peeve for me.“

“Great place to get great mimosas. The waffles here are fantastic and service is even better! Generous portions and reasonable prices. They have great music (80's-90's) that isn't too loud, which makes this a good place to study, meet, and work on your laptop.“

“The personal Margherita pizza that I ordered was phenomenal. Raven our waitress was very kind, she made sure we were all the way satisfied. They have monitors for the games that come on and we got half off our draft beer. The mozzarella it's top notch and the pizza dough was the perfect textures of soft and crispy at the same time I will definitely come back here with friends oh and the taps on the beers are perfectly clean and they are dog friendly“

“A very nice classy place“
