47 Best Cocktail Bars near Lakewood

“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.“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Showed up here because my brother J-Rod swore it was the place for pool and beer. Obviously, I assumed he was exaggerating… but nope. Perfect tables, cold drinks, and somehow my pool game improved after two beers. It must be something in the water. Thanks, J-Rod. If you’re looking for the gold standard of pool bars, you’ve found it.“

“Great local bar, drinks are affordable service is friendly and tvs have local sports. Perfect day care for Dad’s. Ladies leave your husbands in good hands!“

“Fun Karaoke with a cash only bar, great drinks -friendly bartenders.“

“Austin and Roby are the best at what they do! 30000000000 stars to the whole crew. Went to poetry night and EVERYONE was so welcoming. Will be coming back and advertising as much as I can. Hands down best bar and bartenders I've ever met.“

“I recently stopped by The Cauldron for drinks and appetizers, and it did not disappoint! The highlight of the evening was definitely the French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, truly stealing the show. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. The charcuterie board was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, and the inclusion of black cheese added a fun Halloween touch. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend I enjoyed it all on the patio.“

“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.“

“Wow! This is a hidden gem! Had a few hours until our flight out of Long Beach. Found this amazing spot for a coffee and was absolutely blown away by the owner(Shannon) and the menu! We ordered 2 coffees a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The coffees were amazing, the owner made me a custom coffee. I asked for 'Something Sweet' and the drink was so good we ordered a 2nd one. Cinnamon roll was hot, sweet, and cream cheese frosted. Licked the bowl clean! Breakfast Sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and was so tasty! We will plan our future trips to this Airport just to have this coffee and cinnamon roll again! 10/10! Oh and the reggae music jamming is the vibe!!“

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

“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.“

“Great place for a good time“

“Wow, just wow... what a great experience. Not your average Mexican cuisine, more like Mexico City gourmet... not that I don't love me a good street taco. Came for my birthday and everything was damn near to perfect... even the suggested Mexican wine turned out to be amazing. Watch out California...“

“Great venue to see British Steal on their monthly appearance heavy metal foundry“

“🍺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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“"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!"“

“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.“

“Great new management! Good priced stiff drinks and great service!!! I’ll be there once I find more days off!!! Thank you George for turning this place around and all your hard work!!“

“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.“

“Awesomeness love this bar“

“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!“

“I’ve been coming here for special occasions and date nights for a few years and it’s an amazing place! I usually make a reservation but when I haven’t the wait wasn’t too long. I always get the Spanish Octopus, the agnolotti (which changes with the season, the sweet corn is my favorite), the halibut, and the pork chop (which is also changes throughout the year). I had the duck here which was also amazing. I also highly recommend the burnt basque cheese cake for dessert. I really like how their menu will change throughout the year too so there’s always something new to try each time I come here.“

“no food just regular little snacks. If you wanna eat something eat something before you go, but Roberta is an absolute Saint. She may seem kind of direct to you, but she’s very kind and a very wonderful person and a great bar Owner. It’s a really nice cool chill atmosphere to be out. There is one of my favorite places to be at without stupid people being around. Roberta makes it happen.“

“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“

“Love to play pool at this spot. Glad to be back and by the sea, this crowd is an excellent crowd to be around and this place flocks in some very interesting people.??The pool tournaments are organized and the drinks are to die for. Mixed to perfection and not to mention are well worth the money. The food is worth the money as well. Compliments to the chef! ?I had a really great time for the hour I was there, and unfortunately had to leave because of work in the morning. ?“

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

“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“

“Karoeke night was Fun! They have a fancy way of scheduling their list to sing (screen recording included). The bar has a pool table, chill vibes, super friendly staff (cash only) and overall friendly patrons.Oh and Olga's Cocina food truck stopped by and their food is amazing! I didn't get a picture of the food I ate it too fast lol.“

“great place! top to bottom“

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

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

“Last min and just in time for last call both times. Margarita rocks then a shot of Patron to end the night right.. If i had more time i would like to try out their pool table or pinball. Cozy local corner bar. Not too busy for a Sat night. I know just who I'm brining NEXT TIME... ?“

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“Awesome cocktails 🍹 and super friendly staff“

“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!!🤗🤪💮🌟“

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars for this place! Our server, Tu was amazing and very patient in helping us make a decision on drinks, apps and the main course. Drinks were very well made and the atmosphere is vibrant! Definitely making this a regular stop.“
