“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.

The owner Chuckie Miller knows how to make sure everyone has the Best time!! Drinks/ Sports/ Music/ Conversation!!“

“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!!!“

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

“Wonderful barstaff . Lovely place to chill and sup a few G&T’s“

“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.“

“This place is a GEM. I feel like I’m in an indie film every time i visit this place. This place is so freaking cool. It has all the great classics for music and friendly locals and bartender/server. Very eclectic, warm and overall relaxing.

This is by far my favorite sandwich shop in Long Beach. It doesn’t get any better than this place. I’ve had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and they’re all bangers. I have brought multiple people here and they love it just as much! I just haven’t had their pizza and desserts here yet but i wouldn’t be surprised if that was good too. This place is ALL about the bread. Any sandwich you get, you’re going to be invited to the most delicious holding vessel your mouth has ever experienced. The quality of the meats are really good and the balance between them are spectacular. My favorite sandwich so far is the Track Suit. Warm, savory, cheesy, soft, crunchy deliciousness! And that pickled cherry pepper is EPIC. I want one right now! Can’t wait to come back and try more items.

Do yourself a favor and choose your own adventure here. From sitting inside or outside, it is always cool and nice ambiance; and you can always take it to go, the beach is down the street! They also have a deli shop where you can get cheap booze and cocktails in a can! I have also found new soft drinks that are now my favorite here.

Whatever you do here, you won’t be disappointed, thanks Anna’s Joint 🫶🏻“

“Tuesday chess night was fun. The patio is chill. Tons of local bands play here and they have $4 beers and craft drinks if you want to spend more. You can expect a show and crowd nearly any day of the week. You heard it through the grapevine…“

“The is my favorite place in Uptown the beer is always amazing but most of all it's the staff. Jess, Lee, Chantel and especially Amber always make my experience exceptional. Whittier wouldn't be the same without this crew. Cheers!“

“JR I good plce to duck into for refresher is the riots continue. Saved out coats this past weekend.“

“Great live music. Cool outdoor area.“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“Great atmosphere and great service. The Shuffle Board Table is really fun to challenge your friends.“

“Would recommend getting food elsewhere like Mike's but I've been coming here since 2014, it's my number one bar to chill and enjoy a couple rounds of billiards. Love the owners and the bartenders, shout out to Cass, Eric, Tess, and Monique. Will continue to be a patron for as long as they stay open.“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“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.“

“Drinks are good and vibes are good. Gets packed on Fridays and Saturdays but still is a good bar for the area. Tee is a great bartender, very friendly and she makes good drinks and nice to talk to. The one thing I don’t like about this bar is that despite its cool heavy metal, goth Game of Thrones-esque design, there is not enough heavy metal playing. Still, pretty cool bar but please play more metal or at least classic Rock.“

“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“

“Always a good time at Campus!“

“Great options of Pizza and amazing gothic/ horror atmosphere“

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“

“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.“

“Hands down, Smog City is the best beer and customer service in Bixby. A great chill spot to hang out. All their beer tenders are amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly. They take care of their customers, the other vendors, and treat everyone like their family. They have a large rotating selection of beer, with year round favs and seasonals.“

“A diamond in the rough! The very best dive bar in S. Ca. It's just a fun place.“

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

“Fun, Great drinks, friendly bartenders, and Friday Night Karaoke!“

“Home of the best bartenders in Long Beach!!“

“Love neighborhood bars, and this one was no exception. I did not rate the food because we didn’t eat and I’m not sure if they have food or not. The drinks were great, the bar is lively and there was a DJ. Super fun vibes and great crowd. Reminds me of the pre Covid days. Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing“

“I had a good time Met someone I used to work with And it seem like you had a conversation with everybody in there“

“Love it! Happy hour house cocktails we're good and even after happy hour was over drink prices are very reasonable. The crowd was awesome the bartenders were super nice and fun. The karaoke guy and girl were superb at what they do. I learned they do karaoke 7 days a week. Yeah, I'll be there every Saturday for sure! ?“

“Love to dance at this place and I have for a couple years now !! Bartenders are the most awesome people here , sweet and and attentive to customers, drinks are over the top and delicious!! Come here on a Friday or Saturday when it’s super fun booming with people, my favorite bartender?? CELINE!!!❤️❤️“

“Great little place it's kind of small though wish it had a bigger dance floor, and they need to serve food other than that great bartenders great drinks great prices in the heart of Naples near Belmont shore I like to go here after I go to the beach in the summer. Great jukebox and you can hear people talk in there.“

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

“This is my favorite place! So friendly and drama-free. 🤩 The drinks are amazing, and the staff are the best! Shout out to Rocky and Macy! They even have a pool table with seriously competitive players. 🎱 If you're ever in the area, stop by for a drink (or two!) and a game. 🍻 #PoolHall #Drinks #GoodTimes #Friends #“

“Just went to blondies yesterday! Saturday night around 9:30 pm. It's a nice bar! More standing space than seating. There is outside seating but it was taken up when we arrived there and it didn't seem to free up by the time we left.Age range is millennials, maybe some college students.Music is a bit loud if you are trying to have a conversation, but overall its fun! They got games playing and I think you can have lil birthday gatherings there? There was a small birthday hang out when we were there which was really cute.Overall, good bar, would come back.“

“A new experience. Many wine & craft beer choices. Mellow adult atmosphere. Friendly bartender.“

“Very nice place. Friendly staff and good service.“

“Love this place. It's a "jewel of the nile" dive bar when it comes to Beach Blvd. Gorgeous women and great service go hand in hand at the Green Girl! Mark this location on your map and stop by! I would recommend checking this place out if you like dive bars. I haven't tried any food from here so I can't rate it.

Parking: Big parking lot across the street plus street parking too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking is available“
