48 Best Cocktail Bars near Lomita

“Noisy dark bar with people having a blast.Yes good quality and quantity of food.I had fish and chips. The single piece I ordered was more than twice as thick as most places have. Partner had pork chops and mash and was satisfied.10 screens to watch, but blink and you will miss the plain door to enter the place.“

“There's definitely a reason this place keeps coming up everywhere as number ones bartenders are nice with a touch of sass like you'd like at a dive bar, but it's elevated. The prices are pretty pricey, but for the love ingredients and originality of the cocktails I guess it's alright, but I'm not staying for more than two lol. We ordered 4 cocktails and two mocktails and it was about $100 so time to go home lol. They have yummy little snacks and overall we were happy with this new Long Beach spot.“

“Good food. We ordered the chicken Cesar salad, pepperoni pizza and truffle pizza.The first two were very delicious. The brie-truffle pizza was simply alright.But lets talk about that homemade giant cinnamon roll though …. I’d drive all the way there to satisfy that craving any day!The cappuccino was good too. First time in LA I found a decent capp, I usually order cappuccinos and end up with lattés !The location is perfect, overlooking the water. Would absolutely recommend.“

“Our waiter was friendly and fantastic. The venue itself is very cool. But cool in temperature too. The whole front of the place is open with no wall and we had to keep our jackets on the whole time. The food was very tasty and we loved the trio of guacamole. The filet tacos were too smokey flavored. We finished with the flan and it was amazing. Big enough to share!“

“My son and I popped in for dinner because we were staying close by. We're not vegan, but I am gluten free and we do enjoy vegan options from time to time. We ordered a gluten free pizza to share and I was afraid to eat it because the crust was unlike any gluten free crust I've ever had. I didn't believe it was gluten free. I double checked with the waiter. He assured me it was gluten free. I ate it, but still had my doubts. Haha It was THAT good. I wish we were local so I could have it more often. Their basil lemonade is really good too. We're hoping to visit the area again in the future and will definitely hit up this spot for lunch or dinner.“

“Incredible facility & excellent service. I visited just to look around & spectate, then ended up having a delicious burger for lunch at the Restaurant 917. Our host Jesus even seated us at the window without a reservation. I'll definitely be back here, what a wonderful experience.“

“I'm looking forward to my next stop at MB Post. I had a reservation for 3 at 7:15 on a Saturday night. We arrived a little early, checked in and waited at the bar for our table. The bar was crowded and the staff busy but our drink order was taken quickly. Cocktails were delicious, #Blessed will be my go-to here. It took a bit longer to get our drinks than we had anticipated. We waited for our table about 20 minutes beyond the time of our reservation and we had to circle back to the host to inquire how much longer before we would be seated. Our table was in the corner next to the kitchen and a service nook, loud and busy; next time I'll make a note to request a table away from the kitchen. It's a boisterous restaurant and the corner amplified the energy. We ordered the carrots, gnocchi, green beans and biscuits---all were incredibly delicious with the green beans being our favorite. Our server was prompt, courteous, food arrived without a long delay. We enjoyed Lola cab sauv with dinner. I gave the 4 stars for the service at the bar our need to check on our table. Overall a great experience and I will certainly be back.“

“Love this very fun themed long beach bar! The special drinks are all very tasty and not simply variations on the standards. The bartenders know their stuff. And a great list of mocktails to include everyone in the fun! Live music is a plus!“

“The three of us shared the brussels sprout salad, which was absolutely delicious the lobster lollipop appetizer the robins Island steak, the scallop, potatoes, country bread, and for dessert we decided to top it off with the milk chocolate crème brûlée service was great as was the presentation. Nice wine list, I'll be back again and may order the same thing!“

“We happened to stumble upon The Ordinarie Tavern in Long Beach and we’re glad we did! The service was first rate and the food was really good! I highly recommend the chicken pot pie bites as an appetizer. They were fantastic. We also tried the half chicken entree and the short rib French dip, both of which were also good. Happy Hour is offered from 3-6pm, with specials on beers, drinks and food.“

“Fantastic bar. Doesn’t even feel like a South Bay spot. The cocktails are amazing and these bartenders are true mixologists and clearly love what they do. Hako (hope I spelled that right) is absolutely awesome. He took time to teach us about how our drinks were made and made a few “dealers choice” cocktails that were out of this world. Definitely coming back!“

“This restaurant is fabulous, from the stunning decor to the amazing food. We went for a birthday dinner and sat in the back dining room near the fire. Our server, Makayla, was top notch. We ordered food for the table including an incredible filet, ribeye, and the sea bass was over the top amazing. The owner, Alex, even came over and wished me happy birthday. The entire experience was a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!“

“I've been coming here a few years and food is good, but yesterday it was great. Came out hot n fresh. The star of this visit was ERICA she was best waitress hands down. She made the whole experience. Loved her customer service. She a 100 out of 10. Ask for Erica she's the best.“

“Steak dinner, solid drinks, accommodating and friendly staff, great dessert. This place has it all and really lived up to the hype. The steak here is amazing. I would recommend this steakhouse for anyone looking for a great date spot or someone who just simply loves a great steak dinner!“

“An old fashioned diner without the old fashioned prices and greasiness but you get what you pay for here at Nordstrom Bazille and that includes quality service and well executed dishes that satisfy those old fashioned cravings like the Tomato Basil Soup, Turkey/Bacon/Avocado Club and Fried Chicken Sandwich.......Yum!!'“

“Very beautiful and cozy place! The audience is made up of more experienced people. On the day we visited there was a duo playing really cool folk music. The atmosphere was good, but it took a while for us to be served and pay the bill on the way out.“

“This was a most delightful late lunch here today in great part due to the exceptionally hospitable and knowledgeable staff. The restaurant's interior is traditionally regal and cozy however we opted to eat in their spacious outside eating area on this beautiful afternoon. No regality was lost by being outside for we were in the care of Gilberto, our wonderful principle waiter. He understood our every need and pampered us like one seldom encounters in Long Beach. We began with an Old Sicilian cocktail. It's probably fortunate the photo didn't come out else I'd be shamelessly punning the caption, but most importantly it was delicious with quite a punch. The crab cake appetizer, also delicious, was followed by the best hamburger that I've ever had and that includes any produced from my kitchen (I consider that to be the highest praise). Bf gave me a taste and there is no question that I will be ordering this next time. For a special treat, Gilberto presented us with a beautiful crème brûlée. When requiring a flawless dining experience, this is perfection, They are Masters of their craft.“

“Very nice elegant restaurant I really loved the vibe and how once you enter you go up the stairs to a totally chill vibe with a view ! very discreet . The service was fast and the food was tasty and well cooked I came after walking out of Coastal up the street.The server at Radici was great and focused.“

“Loved this place when I lived in the Southbay and it continues to serve great food. We had an amazing meal. The steak was perfectly cooked. The fries were crispy and delicious. Can't go wrong with their pizzas, too. Can't wait to have an excuse to come back!“

“Tapizon Restaurant offers a delicious fusion of flavors, combining traditional dishes with innovative touches. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff are attentive. From the signature tapas to the mouth-watering main courses, each dish is expertly crafted and delicious. The menu caters to a range of dietary preferences, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. The wine selection perfectly complements the menu, enhancing the gastronomic experience. Chef Leo is truly exceptional, showing his talent and creativity in each dish. Whether you are looking for a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends, the Tapizon Restaurant, led by Chef Leo, will certainly impress.“

“My partner and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries and the buffalo cauliflower which were both very good!We originally stopped in for the margarita’s. We heard they have some of the best in the area. We ordered the original lime margarita and the mango. Both were served fast and both were 10/10. We sat at the bar and was served by a really nice bartender who recommended a few bars for us to hop around to on a Sunday night.Bathrooms were squeaky clean, the back patio was super cute for a nice summer night.“

“Reminded me of the old days The old fashion TV which was still working with old cartoons,push button phone, couch covers and appliances. Blast from the past. I can not wait to go back and try other food choices. Fresh squeezed orange juice Umm.“

“Definitely a 5/5 experience overall.My wife and I ordered:- Mushroom Choriqueso: the chips it came with were freshly delicious. The size of the bowl the dip came in was just right. The dip was not too oily. Also came with a small salsa, though it needed something more solid in it.- Dos Gringas (al pastor tacos): the highlight were the tortillas - perfection! Lots of meat. Lots of delicious sauce though a bit too much- Mexican Kale Salad: I’d say this salad is more American than Mexican. For my wife this dish was perfect though for me it was too subtle, though still very good- El Verde mocktail - perfection & refreshing. Try it- Chef Jose’s flan with rompope - seriously the best flan ever. You can taste the alcohol from the rompope, which complements the flan. A serious must try!Our server was great, though they overall were grabbing our old dishes too quickly. The place has nice private booths.“

“Great ambiance, food, and service. Love the live music, and the bartenders are engaging and attentive. Also doesn’t hurt that they’re hot ;)Highly recommend their Espresso Martini - best I’ve had in LA -and that’s saying something.Parking: Parking across the street at lot.“

“This location has gone under numerous names and owners over the years but this incarnation is the best so far. Great beer options, well stocked bar, and a very good kitchen are all available to the visitor. I came by for lunch and ordered the cheese steak sandwich. It was AMAZING. They use truffle cheese, great bread, and the whole thing was delicious. Small pickle slice and pickled veggie garnish was a great touch. Service is solid and the place was not very crowded at noontime. Lots of live music and other stuff going on at night too.“

“This place . AMAZING. I absolutely recommend the iced Thai tea. This inside is gorgeous ! If you're looking for best entrée, GET THE GARLIC NOODLE SHRIMP. The drunken noodles is also great! For appetizers, we've gotten the crab rangoon and chicken wings. Let me just say .. GET THE CRAB RANGOON!! it's so delicious. Will come back again and bring more people. The service is nice. LOVE.“

“Absolutely excellent food. I ordered the TD Brussel sprouts and the soft shell crab curry. Brussel sprouts are ever bit as delicious as others here have noted. The curry was superb - Probably the best I’ve ever had. The crab was tempura fried, which wasn’t what I was expecting but it stood on its own. Will definitely be back.“

“The food here is fantastic!This is fine dining. Sophisticated dishes. Full bar. This is not a place to if you want a quick bite.This is a dining experience.Great place for birthdays.Perfect for entertaining out of town guests. Every dish is exceptional. The waiters are professional and attentive.I recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Staff lost track of us after seating but it was busy and not for too long. They more than made up for it with fantastic food, drinks and recommendations. Used to go to nicks on 2nd when we lived in long Beach. This fills the void and exceeds it.“

“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.)“

“This place was awesome. We were visiting the area and decided to stop in for lunch. We had tried to stop in on Saturday but it was packed. So, we on Monday afternoon to take a break from checking out used bookstores. There was only one other table occupied. Our waiter was being trained by another server and they were both great. The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was fantastic. My son said he wished we had one where we're from. I agreed. Definitely glad we stopped in.Dietary restrictions: They are gluten friendly. Be careful if you're gluten sensitive and can handle small amounts of cross contamination. I'm gluten sensitive due to auto-immune disease but I am generally okay with things in a shared fryer. I ordered the fries. Thankfully, our server informed us they toss their fries in flour before frying. That I cannot do. Burgers and sandwiches can be served on gluten free buns.“

“I can't believe I haven't written a review here yet! (Thought I did!) Anyway, first came here last year for my sister's friend/band member's birthday party! (Jordan) And some of his art work was displayed for sale. It was pretty fun! The DJ booth looks cool! The giant screen allowed them to play their new music video for their band called Wamdingis! (Check them out!) That night was lit! Thank you to the bar tenders & chef! The fried cheese curds were unforgettable! Came back here another time with a girlfriend because she was sad about her guy. Anyway, we ordered the tater tots (yummy!) & some seltzer drinks. I sang a song for Karaoke night on Sunday. We also ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and added bacon! Omg! So glad we split it! That was too good! Then we bar hopped a little before going home. Tonight, I was supposed to help my sister's band with merch at the Santa Ana art walk but they finished before I got there so I turned around and went home and Lyfted here. Ordered the garlic lemon pepper wings & cheese curds! Mmmm! So good! Highly recommended! The kitchen is open until 1 or 2am! Woohoo! So this is def a 2-in-1 spot! Parking sucks on the streets so just Lyft here! Maybe I'll see you guys around!“

“Nice little pub that I could walk to from the Holiday Inn Express and was able to watch football there. They don't serve food but I stepped next door to Domino's and grabbed a pizza and brought it back over to eat. All good and I will return.“

“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“

“It is a good bar, they have live music on the weekends, a pool table, there are three bars, a bar where you can watch sports, play billiards, and there are other games and popcorn, and in the other room, there are bands and another bar, and you can dance outside. They have some tables for those who want to go out say I like it because I can't stand the smell of ?Parking: There is always space“

“What can we say.... the interior is beautiful.If you have never had Mole why not try various with the Enchiladas that come with 4 variations. The Dessert - try the cookie thar pairs with the Guava Ice cream.... or the creamy flan. First Date type of place. Parking below is free. The Queso fundido with mushrooms with Handmaid Tortilla ?Not a bad place.“

“An absolute gem nestled in Hermosa Beach! The seafood at Playa Hermosa is beyond compare – from the succulent oysters to the perfectly seared scallops and the delectable fish and chips, every dish was a culinary delight. The Albacore Sashimi was a personal favorite, bursting with freshness and flavor. But what truly elevated the experience was the breathtaking view of the pier from their patio. As we indulged in our meal, we were treated to the mesmerizing sight and the vibrant energy of people strolling by. A perfect harmony of delectable cuisine and scenic beauty, making every moment an unforgettable one. Can't wait to return!“

“This is one of oldest bars in the South Bay and it is a true dive, with lots of character. The walls are covered in old photos and memorabilia, and the vibe is fantastic. Our bartender had heavy pourer, so you're sure to get your money's worth. She recommended some nice drinks and shots. If you're looking for a laid-back place to have a drink and relax, this is a place to check out.“

“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.“

“I am prefacing this review by stating the I just stopped by here for a quick drink (no food) as I was checking out the The Point, the shopping a mall that contains Lil' Simmzy's.I at first did not realize they actually serve some of their own beers, but once I saw that I went with their Hazy IPA option. Along with that I also got a cocktail, the Paloma. The beer was pretty good, standard along with most the other Hazy IPA's that I've had. I'll say that this one was a little less hoppy than others I've had. The Paloma was one of the better ones I have tasted. It's made with mezcal instead of the usual tequila, so you can taste that "smokey" difference which I find people either enjoy or don't. I like the ancho salt rim on the drink, both for taste & look.Service was pretty good and the place has a relaxed beachy vibe and nice overall feel. I think it's all outside seating which is fitting for the overall vibe and works well for being in the The Point. Ordered at the counter and self seated. I'd come here again to sip on a drink while I take a break from shopping.The only one, somewhat larger, somewhat understandable downfall was the amount of dust at the table. When I grabbed a napkin, I noticed how dirty my hands got just from touching it due to the amount of dust/dirt in general at the table since it's outside seating.Cheers!“

“Went on a Saturday night for the first time. There was a DJ that had the music and dance floor on point. One pool table but everyone seemed good in coordinating next games. Friendly atmosphere. TV’s around that showed videos of the music being played. Drinks are on point-try the Blueberry Muffin.Parking: There’s a parking lot adjacent to the bar.“

“The service is amazing! The staff was very kind and helpful. The food was good, definitely a great selection for a karaoke place. We were there for longer than we expected and they still accommodated us. Me and my friends had a blast! If I'm ever in this area again, I will come back.“

“Love the vintage Photo Booth and the cocktail menu! Bartenders are always so nice and they have two pool tables in the back (.50 each round). Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but order the Grace Kelly!!!! I seriously only order this when I go because it's so good.“

“Found this little cute place after reading the review. My family and I just finished our lunch at a nearby ramen place but decided to grab something small to try. (Meaning we weren't fully satisfied with the ramen portions! ?) The owner only knows minimum English but she was super friendly. We ordered 2 of the combo of 3 carne asada tacos with a soda for only $4.99! Where can you find this great deal nowadays?! The food was delicious and even though we just had lunch, we couldn't wait to try it. The meat was nicely cooked and juicy and I loved the pickled vegetables!! The service was fast, but we went there around 2pm on Sat and not sure about how it goes during lunch time. Will definitely visit again with an empty stomach and try different food there.“

“Food and drinks were all great! Only opportunity that was a bit annoying was our server who went on break in the middle of serving our table, and the covering server couldn't care less about checking in with us. Also, the server reminding us at the end of our meal how his tip was split and if we could leave more was beyond annoying! We tip generously to begin with so being reminded with a guilt trip was not appreciated.“

“Started coming here a while ago and it grew on me. Met the owner and he was nothing short of gracious. Humble guy that will sit with you. If you see him get him a red headed slut. Bartenders are cool. Tracey stands out though. Vulgar sometimes but always fun and treats you well. Met Mac and she is a bubble of fun. I'd recommend this place anytime.“

“This is a local bar. Expectations should be set appropriately. When I walked in, three locals we're having a discussion about women drivers and the design of American cars. However, the Scorpion was Awesome. Set your expectations low and experience the local to tiki bar. I will be back. ??“
