“Love this spot! Bartender was great and atmosphere is upscale, classy and sophisticated-great when you wanna stay in Hermosa but get away from the Pier!“

“Wonderful food! I got the salmon with my salad and it was delicious! Get the June salad for lunch!“

“I love spending time at high tea! I wanted to take my daughters somewhere different, and the Wicked Wolf Cocktail Bar had popped up on my Facebook page. I explored their website and the eclectic offerings were just what I was looking for...plus they received 4.8 stars on Google! Don't let the exterior fool you...when you walk inside it's magical. The tea sandwiches and scones were mouth-watering and each individual pot of tea was just what we wanted. But the best of all was our fantastic waiter Ishmael...he was attentive, interesting, and friendly. He even took us on tour of the rooftop seating. I cannot wait to return!!!“

“I swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

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

“I love this place. It's friendly, the bartender is an absolute sweetheart, the KJ is amazing, and they don't over serve and have overly drunk patrons there amd harassing other customers. Karaoke here is a blast and the KJ is very fair with the lineup. This is my new spot to hang after a long week. ❤️❤️❤️“

“It is worth it to come here for the HH (4-7 p.m. Monday to Thursday) and enjoy the beautiful sunset view. If you are visiting (not an overnight guest), there is an additional admission fee to enter the cruise (discounted to $15 at 6 p.m.). The cocktails were exactly what you’d expect at a touristy bar - so I wouldn’t come here for any culinary innovation. But the cruise is worth checking out if you are a fan of the art deco designs.“

“Good food in casual friendly local restaurant & nice bar hangout ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“killer blues this saturday night w/ BLUE SHADOWS“

“Amazing bar, Jose was very nice; an amazing and attentive bartender. He made us feel very welcomed and made sure everything was on point!

The place is very cozy with a nice terrace where you can smoke while having your drink. I had a great time!

A place I would highly recommend.“

“🍺Not only everything you could ask for in a bar from Great staff and one if not the best bar owner to excellent Security you'll find, But the best bartenders in all of Long Beach. It might look like your average bar but nowhere else will you find the creative drinks that you'll find here on to the free pool on Monday's and the verity of different DJ's spinning everything from old school to Jazz to Goth to Punk rock on to Heavy Metal and more. Each weekend is a different vibe. You're just going to have to come on in and check it out.“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“Should b called Lakewood’s Best kept secret!! Hahahaa those that kno...then ya kno!!“

“Amazing place, great music, great environment. Three pool tables with plenty of space to get a good shot. Local favorite, definitely a place that make memories. Cash only so be ready. Plenty of rooms for parties and tvs all around. And my favorite of all they have A PARKING LOT!! Amazing people love Cindy, amazing times she’ll definitely make you feel at home.“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“The Wrigley Tavern is an up and coming venue that promotes jazz music and a very hip vibe!“

“Beautiful little restaraunt by Manhattan Beach Pier. I’m there every year end of Aug.“

“I had a memorable evening 🍷 & playing pool with all of the friendly, chill locals that wandered in. Hogged the pool table with a diverse group of male & female challengers.Neighborhood bar for all with the atmosphere y'all gravitate towards...dance, prance & romance if that's what you're after (or not!)
My one beef was wthe bartender at closing. I'm aware of his responsibilities to get us out when everyone's feeling no pain @2 am. Closing....not an easy job!
Perhaps one can attribute his fatigue & impatience trying to get us the hell out that resulted in my perceived rude encounter with El Jefe right at the end of a fun evening. Tone & attitude translate, my friend. Ya gotta be firm but not antagonistic.👹
I tipped 50% for 3 drinks at 11 per.
One would hope that might mollify a prickly attitude. Just take a deep breath next time,Sir, and EVERYONE will benefit...CHEERS!!🤗🤪💮🌟“

“The Exhibition Room is located inside Roxanne's. We often go to Roxx bc they have good food and drinks. The juice is freshly squeezed, which makes a great cocktail!
We always get the beef sliders and the herb fries (can't rmbr what they are called) plus a big pile of nachos.“

“Lynn and Laurel would not stop talking about Angel’s Share, and the FOMO was real!!! So I grabbed my boyfriend and rushed over to check out their Christmas theme and cocktails. We had a reservation but arrived a little early and asked the hostess if we could just sit at the bar instead. She said no problem at all. We came in around 6:30pm, which might be an odd sweet-spot time, because we were able to snag a couple of bar seats right away! The entire place is fully decked out for the holidays, super cozy, festive, and so cute. They’re currently running a special holiday cocktail menu, so we ordered from that. Rachel was behind the bar and took great care of us despite how busy it was.

I started with a Classic Old Fashioned and followed it up with a Smoked Old Fashioned both great choices. My boyfriend ordered the Old Fashioned and Making Christmas, and I have to say, his drink was actually really good!

Angel’s Share is small and gets very busy, so I highly recommend making a reservation. If you’re planning to eat here, just know the food menu is limited and food can take a while. We had already eaten and came mainly for drinks, but my boyfriend ordered onion rings to snack on. I tried them, but they were falling apart and not really my thing. For me, Angel’s Share is perfect for a festive, post-dinner cocktail or a quick drink with friends but not necessarily a spot I’d choose to dine at. Great atmosphere, fun seasonal cocktails, and definitely worth a visit during the holidays.“

“Had a lovely lunch with out-of-town guests. Food was better than i remembered and the service was excellent. Had a great table next to the window at the end which was quieter to accommodate on member of the party who was hearing impaired and it was perfect.“

“Don't let the unassuming neon glow of the strip mall fool you. Once inside you'll be transported to a dive bar tiki paradise full of welcoming locals, cheap beer and limited distractions.
A throw back to simpler time when you were not overwhelmed with menu options or craft beer choices.
This is truly a slice of island paradise in an urban jungle“

“It's not a bad place. It's a good stop for a cold beer. Especially for me because I am in a Handiman scooter when I am running out of power. They always let me charge up myt scooter while I have a beer. Otherwise I will not make it home. And some days it's not a laughing matter. It's that close of a call. The bartender seems nice. But she is busy with other people. And that is good for business.“

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“"Thai District is a culinary gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported us to Thailand. Scott, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Not only did he provide impeccable service, but he also shared interesting tidbits about the area, like the length of the actual “Long Beach” in Long Beach, adding a delightful personal touch to our evening. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all around for Thai District!"“

“I both love and loathe gentrification. In the case of this bar, I loathe gentrification, if only for the increased prices in drinks. Staff is great. However, the bar fights used to be entertaining, but those don't happen anymore. That's a bit depressing.“

“The service is amazing but the food is okay and the drinks are strong but basic.

Parking: Huge commercial and hotel parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Totally accessible“

“Love this place!! They always have live music and the vibe is amazing! They also have the best bartender around Priscilla! She always gets me nice and toasty! Cheers girl Merry Christmas! I’ll be in there later! Love the lighthouse it’s a Hermosa Beach staple! I can’t comment on the food cuz I’ve never eaten there lol“

“It’s cool to drink cold beer and mingle with locals“

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.“

“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!!“

“Small bars usually offer a casual yet friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
• Staff Attitude: Most small bar staff are warm and welcoming. Unlike fine dining restaurants, they tend to be more engaging, often chatting with guests, recommending drinks, and even remembering regular customers’ preferences.
• Serving Speed: Since the main focus of a bar is alcoholic beverages, the food may take longer to be served compared to a regular restaurant. However, most bars offer quick-prep bar snacks to complement the drinks.
• Personalized Service: Some small bars provide customized cocktails based on customers’ tastes or offer hidden menu options to enhance the experience.“

“Personable little hole in the wall bar! Drinks were cheap and service was great!“

“Everything about Olive and Rose is thoughtful, well designed, and delicious. My new favorite cocktail is their Pear Pressure. Service is top notch. I appreciate that they always have at least a couple amazing vegetable based dishes on the menu. I seriously wish I could afford to eat here more often-to be clear, the food and drinks are well worth the cost.“

“My favorite restaurant in South Bay LA. Grass-fed beef. Organic produce from farmer's markets. Fabulous wine list featuring small, organic & biodynamic producers. Plus a great value! Gotta love PSP Steak!“

“Baby Gee is by far the best place in Long Beach to get cocktails! Not only is Giana an amazing owner, she has created an outstanding menu of cocktails and mocktails and also hired a crew that is knowledgeable, friendly and above all, makes great drinks!“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“

“3636 club is the best place in Long Beach! Amanda Hernandez and misty and the crew are the best. This is hometown bar with all you friends“

“great place! top to bottom“

“I had booked the One Bedroom King Suite for 3 nights months ago in anticipation of attending a concert at Sofi. It was recommended to splurge and go for the King Suite. Glad I did. I was very pleased with the suite and the whole Hyatt House experience. Since parking seems to be an issue for many, we pulled into the garage behind the Hyatt and paid $26 for one night of parking. They also charge hourly. I am not sure how some people are paying $45 with the hotel. I didn't mention it when I checked in and just used the in and out access of the garage. Shuttle was great. We used it both arriving and departing. Breakfast was fine too. I have no complaints.“

“My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday and the evening was wonderful. We had a Caesar salad to start and it was delicious. I had to order the Wagyu filet and we added several sides- perfectly cooked and a great pairing. My husband enjoyed the seasonal Cajun pappardelle pasta very much. The manager Ricky was attentive and truly elevated the experience. We are lucky to have such an incredible restaurant in El Segundo.“

“I had the warmest experience at The Arthur J, from the hostess at the front door, the wait staff and the manager. I had recently lost my husband prior to my reservation and was determined to enjoy our anniversary dinner. Not only was a the food delicious, but the overall experience was beyond memorable. Thank you…. thank you. Can’t wait until I return for his birthday.“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“

“Awesome cocktails 🍹 and super friendly staff“

“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!“

“This is a great karaoke bar, fun vibe, cute bartender!“
