46 Best Bars in Long Beach

“one of a kind for a scooner of beer, picked egg and the best special sandwich.“

“Good and friendly service. Good food. The best craft beer“

“this is hands down the best bar in the region. it’s not even close. i have worked at places with michelin guides, a dozen + james beard awards, and everything in between, so i like to think i know a good bar from an average one. baby gee is the real deal!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Lovely experience here, both the little grocer and bar/restaurant side were delightful with a warm atmosphere. All the staff members were friendly and informative on the menu. The sandwich itself was delish and I wish I lived here to try more of the menu. Appreciated the fact that this place feels like a true community center/3rd space, with regular stopping in to say hi and people coming during the day for a drink and work. They also host events, which i think is an important factor of any neighborhood bar.“

“Best venue in Long Beach! Kindly keeping the local music scene alive and taking great care of musicians while still maintaining respect for the neighborhood full of family’s. Free music 7 days a week. I really don’t know how they do it. Coined the “CBGB” of Long Beach. If you like good music and good people this is the place for you ❤️“

“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“

“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Grilled Chicken pesto sammie was yummy....everything was!! Terrific service too...Thx Ryan...good fun!“

“Nice place to hang and watch a band. We went Saturday night 11-9-2024 to see the tribute band Live Forever a tribute to Oasis and what a show so good the singer nails it it was like Liam was right there in the flesh. The bartenders are top notch very attentive always making sure you don't have an empty drink. And they know How to pour and me she drinks properly. The owner is a cool guy and old skate boarder he's not that old but he was telling me about the bad it's a family business very cool guy. Its a fun hang all the people in there were nice. The band that night WOW great tribute to Oasis. I hope the GOOD BAR has them back. Go and support this Bar our small business owners need us.“

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

“Amazing place. Highly recommend“

“We brought our food truck here on the 4th of July and it was fabulous. The owner Big Tod is the Boss and he's a gracious man. We appreciate this community-oriented dive bar. Change is good, drinks are strong, billiards are fun, and the audio system is tight AF.“

“It’s okay ! 😎😎😎 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🧐🧐🧐🧐❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“⭐ 5 Stars – Amazing Old Fashioneds and Outstanding Service at Alter Ego

After being treated poorly by another restaurant in the same building, Alter Ego completely saved my night. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind — a true example of what real hospitality should feel like.

Their Old Fashioneds are phenomenal — perfectly balanced, smooth, and crafted with care. You can tell the bartenders here take pride in what they do. Every cocktail I saw coming out of the bar looked stunning, but the Old Fashioned was easily one of top 10 I have had in California.

What truly stood out was the atmosphere and the people. The bartenders and servers made me feel comfortable and respected, turning an uncomfortable situation into an evening I’ll remember for all the right reasons.

If you’re looking for exceptional cocktails, great energy, and genuine hospitality, skip the place upstairs and go straight to Alter Ego. This bar sets the standard for high-class service and incredible drinks that are expected for the price.

“Located inside Whole Foods. Usually open daily but seems to have trouble with staffing. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plugs for you remote workers. Of course you can just purchase hot bar food or any groceries and sit here also.

Vegetarian options: Veggie burgers and sides

Parking: Parking structure is cheap but the free lot is across street by Marina

Kid-friendliness: Not a bar atmosphere, saw kids eating here

Wheelchair accessibility: Low tables“

“Best mix drinks EVER and service was great! Definitely going back 😉“

“Come, check out the street side bacon dogs outside of the Falcon bar Long Beach they are fired come get your hotdog. You will not regret 7$ Can’t get any cheaper than that for a fire hotdog with hot Cheetos come check us out thank you. Street side, bacon dogs“

“Always a good energy in here! Literally made my decision to move to Long Beach over a few cocktails with friends here and has since been my go to. The atmosphere is always welcoming for all genders and races since it has a little one thing for EVERYONE throughout the week. Day parties, sports viewing, karaoke, nightlife to dance the night away, skee-ball, pool table, lounge outdoor space, and lets not forget FOOD! The vegan chili is amazing and I am not even vegan. Check it out as part of your wander around Pine ave.“

“Khmer bar, lounge? Any how good Khmer music and good food. You can enjoy music and food and dance while eating. $5 cover charge per person and $3 per vehicle valet parking. If you don't have exact change they won't give change back.“

“Excellent bar experience, drinks well made and food was delicious.

Customer service was on-point; definitely will be coming back.

Really recommend this bar sitting area inside the hotel. Thanks Mike for the hospitality.“

“Exelente lugar para relajarse y jugar in poco De pool , el servicio es exellente y las damas son muy agradables y siempre con una Linda sonRiza, lo recomiendo muy altamente,.“

“This is me most amazing local spot. Great Music, Amazing Food, and the Staff is so friendly. I really like how it looks inside. I always feel safe there. Then its a quick ride home or ??? haha.“

“Only thing wrong with this place is the owner is diehard 49er fan. She’s definitely decent to look at but don’t let her fool you, she’s a degenerate 9er with no hope of recovery. Other than that, this is the best bar in Long Beach. Real people, make everyone feel right at home right away. I’ll be back soon. #RaiderNation4“
