“"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!"“

“🍺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 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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“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!!“

“The food is amazing 10/10 but the outdoor patio dinning is awful. You cannot have a conversation because the sound echos so loudly and when the staff moves tables around they drag it along the tile and all of the tables have to stop and wait till they are done to be able to speak again with your table.“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“I’ve been here a couple of times now and every experience has been amazing. Birds and the entire staff truly know how to make people feel welcomed and special from the moment you walk in. The cocktails are not only delicious, but I also love that each bartender has their own signature cocktail on the menu. It made the experience feel personal and gave us a chance to try something different every time.

One of my favorite parts was hearing the bartenders explain the inspiration behind their cocktail and why they chose certain ingredients. You can really tell there’s creativity, passion, and intention behind what they do. The energy, hospitality, and attention to detail keep me coming back. They are truly amazing and I can’t wait to visit again.“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“A very unique menu of drinks I wouldn’t see often. If you are someone who is willing to push your own boundaries of flavor and music profile- this is the place for you. The live music was fantastic- if I was a local I would be here more often. The band was great and the drinks made the place even better. Clean bathrooms, good priced highball drinks, good food.“

“Meet Me at the Mary.

Most Tuesdays the Queen Mary has an event called Meet Me at the Mary. You must make reservations online. 4-8 pm. Gives you free access to the whole ship, parking is discounted to $10. (you must validate at the bar).

You cannot beat the atmosphere and view. 1930's decor. Live band with singer, playing big band music.

You can self-tour the ship before or after. (Engine room closes at 6pm).

They discontinued happy hour prices November 2025.

Food was great. We had a Flatbread (Queen Mary 3 Stacks, sorry we ate half in the picture) and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Bistro Chips.

A bit pricey but well worth it.“

“First time here and what a sweet spot! The vibe was easygoing, welcoming, and respectful from the moment I walked in. Two pool tables, a hidden gem of a back patio, and exactly the kind of chill, no-frills gay bar you want when you just need to unwind. The crowd was kind and sociable without being overwhelming. Definitely coming back.“

“We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding day at Olive & Rose, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As longtime fans of their food, we already knew that we and our guests were going to enjoy an amazing meal, but they went far beyond our expectations in every other aspect of our special day.

One of the highlights was their bartender, who went above and beyond to create personalized cocktails inspired by our love story. It was such a thoughtful and unique touch that made our wedding feel even more personal and special.

Throughout the entire evening, every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, attentive, and on the ball. They worked incredibly hard to keep the food and drinks flowing while making sure our guests were taken care of.

We were able to relax, dance the night away, enjoy incredible food, and truly soak in the moment. We left at the end of the night completely satisfied and with memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Thank you to the entire Olive & Rose team for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!“

“3 pool tables the coldest, cheapest beer/ drinks in Southgate & Los Angeles CA. The owner Fred is a great person. A little ruff around the edges but the best damm bar in Southgate. The people there are awesome 💯. I come from Pasadena to Southgate just to drink beer and play pool . Let That sink in...“

“My husband and I went to Patty's Place for our anniversary. We were thinking it was just your basic steak house. We were wrong. Nothing about Patty's is basic.I was shocked when we walked in. It has just enough elegance to enhance a cozy, and comfortable experience. The service was excellent and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was magnificent. I've never had side dishes be as delicious as the main meal. The potatoes and veggies were out of this world. ~ I can honestly say, " it was the best food I've ever eaten." This restaurant gets a 10 in my book.“

“Good times, good drinks, a fun group of people that make it a party!“

“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!!!“

“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly people.“

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

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.“

“great place! top to bottom“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“Just ate the most amazing chicken sandwich and the Best Onion Rings EVER! !!!!!“

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

“wonderful staff & great food“

“A wonderful speak easy for a cozy date or a solo wanderlust night out. From the red lanterns to the nook style row of chairs by the bar, the entire ambiance mimics the hole in the wall Japanese bars of shinjiku and shibuya. Almost every nostalgic Japanese whiskey and gin is available in well curated cocktails. The paid vacation was my choice“

“excelente customer service!! The food was amazing, not to say the portions were the best... A definitely must go and try.“

“My buddies and I stumbled upon this little bar by chance. We were the only “gringos” there, but we were welcomed as if by old friends. They women who tended bar and served us were gracious hosts. It was very clean and well appointed. We had a blast, bought a shirt, and would recommend to others looking for a cold cerveza.“

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

“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza. Beer list is thoughtful. Wife REALLY enjoyed her Anderson Valley Rose wine with the Lamb dish Bottom line: this cafe is worth supporting. Thanks for setting up shop in Coastal Long Beach- Naples“

“Professional, fun staff great at connecting with guests and offering them a superior experience whether you’re coming in for a cocktail or having a meal. High quality cocktails and cuisine. As Best part - it’s three concepts in one! Check this place out. You’ll love it.“

“wonderful staff & great food“

“Best bartenders! Tiki vibes, great happy hours with well drinks @ $5.50, domestic beer $5.00 & imports $6.00 M-F 12-6pm! Pool tables, TouchTunes & outdoor patio!“

“This is the spot if you need a good, cold drink & a chill, old school vibe. I don’t like bars that have windows & Poor Denny’s is old school in that regard. Ever since Ember’s Lounge closed down, this has been my spot. It’s cash only, but there’s a ATM machine there. I love the digital jukebox that allows you to play all kinds of music. The bartenders are always nice & they have wonderful hands on the pours. ? Good vibes & mellow times here.“

“Bartender on Sundays is chill“

“First timer here. The wait was relatively short for a Saturday morning, as we were greeted with a big, friendly welcome. The service is excellent. Had the chicken & waffle. Delish! The other’s in my party enjoyed their meals, as well. The decor was just nostalgic enough to took me back to memories of my own Abuela. This is a great little gem. We look forward to returning.“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“I don’t know if they serve food, don’t really care because it’s a bar so they have all the things I’m looking for. The bartenders are really nice, it’s a great crowd of people that u can feel at ease with and the drinks are delicious. I like the location because it’s by all business that close early so there’s plenty of parking at night. There’s a Mexican food taco stand on the corner if u get hungry. They have a clean and well lit outside area for smokers. I thought it was a great bar in Long Beach“

“Great place for a good time“

“Came here with the boys on a Saturday night of debauchery. Always drive by, never went in. Decided to visit instead of the bikini bar across the street. Very pleased, excellent prices, awesome regulars(from what I could tell). Very chill and welcoming. They had karaoke going which was fun. Cash only though.“
