35 Best Cocktail 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.“

“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!“

“Everything was delicious! From the simple and clean decor, the wonderful and extremely helpful wait staff, the tasty cocktails, to the beautiful and wonderful appetizers and entries. The ceviche, flautas de barbacoa, salmon al pastor, vegetables -YES - and tres leches cake with the Tamarindo cocktail are amazing. The wait staff was attentive, always taking a moment to make sure you enjoyed your meal....always comfortable, never rushed. A a great place to go, relax, and enjoy really good Mexican cuisine.“

“The FOOD is a party on a plate!!!“

“It's my favorite food, very delicious“

“This establishment has a unique twist on cultural Mexican cuisine. The chef prepares the food, quite exquisitely and authentically at the same time. I highly recommend it if you like Latin cuisine.“

“Food is pretty standard breakfast brunch fare. Good good but nothing extra special.The atmosphere is really really cute. Decor is fun and chic. Came here with a large group for a bridal brunch and everyone was late but the staff was super accommodating.“

“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“

“The bartenders are super friendly!!! such a fun place.“

“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!!“

“EASILY my favorite bar in Long Beach!! Amazing cocktails, incredibly unique aesthetic, and the friendliest staff and owner. I feel so lucky that I only live a few blocks away and can come here whenever I want! Get the Fairy Fizz. You won’t be disappointed! ?“

“Great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. My family had a great time celebrating at 555!“

“Excellent lunch spot. Was pleasantly surprised by this lunch spot. The food to price to service is excellent. The prices are reasonable. The portion sizes are reasonable. The quality of the ingredients is great. And the service staff is on point. I highly recommend this place. Parking is convenient. Note this is not a stand alone restaurant. The restaurant is located within a business plaza. They also offer a half sandwich and soup combo. My friend got the mushroom soup and half a sandwich and said the soup was excellent. Another friend got the Cobb salad and said it was great. I got the club sandwich and was very pleased with my order. We also got an order of the hummus to share which I highly recommend. Will be back. Thank you!!“

“Great service. Great food“

“Good food and friendly service. Appreciated the entire page of vegan options.“

“Sooooooo good omg. It's been a while since me & my boyfriend found a good new restaurant where everything from service, location, price and (of course) the food is awesome. The service was super quick and on point, we didn't have to wait for anything or flag anyone down. We got the house burger and a breakfast sandwhich and it was great- I am also a sucker for brioche bread omg. Will def be coming back!“

“Fabulous restaurant in an elegant old style European decor. really miss it now that I no longer live in Long Beach“

“Wish I had taken photos. This is in the top 3 of Thai restaurants I have ever eaten. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. The flavors were perfect. Would go back!“

“Delicious food and great service.“

“Came here from L. A. JUST for the Kabocha squash bisque, which I literally CRAVE! Heart skipped a beat when I learned it's not usually served until dinner- but It WAS READY! Yeeeaah me! Eating one serving here, and taking a few home for a few days during the week! It's worth the long drive!!!“

“Came here on a recommendation. We wanted a place to eat and have a few cocktails. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio has heaters. There were also several large groups. Our waitress was incredibly helpful. We had Brussel sprouts to start. Ordered the halibut and the seabass. The pistachio tiramisu wasn’t quite what we expected and didn’t finish it.“

“Before heading to visit 'Eclipsed Emporium' I was suggested by my wife to come and check out this place. She had seen it a few times driving by before.We came in for dinner and to our surprise they had pretty good Mexican food. Chips & salsas were homemade and delicious.She & I both had their Molé Burritos and our daughter had their Chicken Burrito.Drinks to accompany were Mango Margarita, Iced Tea, and Horchata.To end the meal we had their Churros & Horchata ice cream for dessert.Restaurant was clean, organized, their service was friendly & professional.Our waitress was above & beyond.Didn't remember her name,however she was very cute & bubbly.We would come back for their excellent service.“

“Good people and good times“

“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.)“

“First Timer to a Ramen restaurant and as one should asked about the menu and customer favorites. Service was very helpful, very busy and staff were pleasant. I chose customer favorite and enjoyed it with warm sake. Entree was sufficient but many other tables had starters. I believe I would return to try another dish. 5pm is before the rush, we sat at 6pm and inside sitting was packed.“

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

“Love this place. Its very cute and the energy is always super welcoming. I have been here many time with friends, and I actually brought my mom here for her birthday and our favorite bartender Ricardo made us all his special drinks. Highly reccommend!“

“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.“

“My husband and I ate breakfast at Alder & Sage this morning. We had the breakfast sandwiches and an order of the Lox. Everything was delicious. I definitely recommend this place for its food, ambiance and the great service. Great parking too. Can’t wait to go back.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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