50 Best Bars in Long Beach

“WOWWWWW THIS IS THE TASTIEST STEEZIEST SWEETEST BAR IVE EVER BEEN TO. Most unique drinks. Vibes immaculate. Service impeccable. Will be back regularly. Baby for dayssssss

Vegetarian options: Focaccia with naughty tomatoes is sultry and irresistible“

“The food was super delicious. We got the spicy chicken sandwich, the French dip, the burger, and the cherry-huckleberry pie. All were exceptionally delicious. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. They charge for refills on drinks (cokes and diet cokes) and the waiter took forever to do anything. For reference, there were three groups seated in the restaurant at the time we went. We thought he might have been new, which is understandable, but it was crazy slow even for a newbie.“

“Everyone happy with meal. Large party next to us made it more noisy than usual, but still a great time. Service as always was excellent!! Happy Holidays“

“Est. 1924 Great for local and everyone as one of a kind unique place.“

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

“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 amazing staff! Food is so good! I’ll recommend the Musubi great place to chill with a large group of friends!!!“

“I'm glad this new location opened closer to home, as I've been to other places and enjoyed the experience. However, it might be dangerously close. Teleferic faces the street along E. Marina Dr. in the 2nd and PCH Mall. It might be a good sunset dining spot. As pricey as it is, Teleferic Barcelona is a perfect place to treat yourself or celebrate a special occasion.

FOOD
As I've been to other locations, I knew what to expect. We ordered a few favorites and some items we had yet to try. Overall, we enjoyed the tapas and entrées we ordered. The dinner highlights were the Lobster Paella with crispy rice bottom, Empanadas, Crab Croquetas with tuna sashimi, Pulpo, Patatas Bravas, and Prime Wellington. The Paella Negra is also a delicious option I've enjoyed in the past.

For dessert, we shared the Trío Selection and La Cookie. The Trio was a great option for trying a few popular items. Our server also recommended La Cookie. The cookie with nuts and vanilla ice cream was delicious, and the half-baked cookie dough and chocolate filling were decadent and rich.

The drink menu showcases crafted cocktails and sangrias, and a full bar will satisfy all your libation needs. Our table enjoyed the Teleferic Sangias and the Virgin Gothic Mojito.

ATMOSPHERE
We made reservations for a 7 p.m. dinner and were seated within a few minutes after checking in. The atmosphere is modern, with proper lighting in the main dining area and more moody near the windows. The noise level was moderately loud, so our conversations and hearing the server were challenging initially, but we managed.

OVERALL
We had a fantastic dining experience. Our excellent server (Edy?) and staff were kind and attentive throughout our meal. We were satisfied with all the food we ordered and didn't feel overly stuffed or needed a nap after.“

“We love Marlena and try to support it every chance we get! Everything - from the ambiance to the service to the food - is such a treat. We could not love the cheesecake and gelato more (oh man, the salted caramel flavor just slayed us). I also had the best duck of my life there a while back (please bring back the duck!). We also love all the salads and options for enjoying plants/veggies along with high quality proteins. Also great wine and cocktails. Just such a gem that is sorely needed in LB! I still need to try their coffee but hoping for a gluten free pastry / breakfast option (I would def eat the cheesecake for breakfast - just saying!).

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“First time here. Excellent service. Wonderful food and fantastic view. I will be back.“

“The Best Thai Food in Long Beach 🏖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is a great place to hang out and watch a jazz trio on thursdays. The bar looks out on the bay and long beach. you can step outside to the observation deck of the ship. It is very art deco, lots of wood, a big ballroom dance scene is painted above the bar. Service is slow when it gets busy though, the bar is small and the servers have to use the same bar as everyone else. The drinks are mixed well though. Great atmosphere! You want to reserve a ticket on the website in advance even though they are usually free.“

“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!!“

“This place has the best sandwiches in DTLB. I recently had the Spicy Mo, Yo (turkey, salami, cheese & veggies) on a baguette and it was delicious. Crunchy, tasty and full of flavor - you will not be disappointed. I only wish the sandwich was bigger.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“On an unpredicted rainy Wednesday night found myself in the cozy Wrigley Tavern. A locals hangout with the ambiance of the type of joint my dad might have frequented. Great service and a good selection of spirits and beer. The flatbread I tried, well, maybe not next time. I’ll come back on a weekend night for certain.“

“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“

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

“I don't drink anymore, but when I did, this place had a great selection and still does. I mostly come for the music now, which is great because the shows start early and end early. I can walk here, but if you're driving, I would get there early as parking can be difficult as it is all over Long Beach. The bartenders here are great as well. Paul is one of the best.“

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

“The location and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I will be back 💯“

“Great live music. Cool outdoor area.“

“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.“

“A very nice classy place“

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

“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 ambiance! Great drinks! Great staff! Great food! This place is perfect!!!“

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

“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.“

“Clean, convenient location, serving cold beer and wine by happy people. Flatscreens on every wall. Smoking patio partially covered, partially uncovered. What more do you need in a local bar?! Thanks Al. You’ve done great! Oh and I love the Karaoke machine! Fun fun fun!“

“Great service! We had a great time considering it was my first time in a bar in a very long time.“

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

“the bartenders are amazing always good vibes and great peaple“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) It was nice, I had never visited one of those places, but it was nice there I met the father of my 2 babies 4 years ago!!!!(Original)Fue lindo, nunca había visitado un lugar de esos, pero fue lindo ahí conocí al papá de mis 2 bebés hace 4 años!!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Really good prices for Happy Hour, Carpaccio with the lemon on top game changer.
Gnocchi bolognese really big portion for 14
Service was friendly and polite
Bread was so good also comes with breadsticks & pesto, no charge for it.
Im stuffed and happy
Hh is 4:00-5:30“

“Soo it took me waaaayyy too long to post this review, but when we left this bar lol I didn’t remember a damn thing!! This place is ? ?? the bartender, I think Ashley, was too legit and the guy, I think Richard, were soo fun to talk too and be around! I can’t wait to visit Long Beach again because this is the place I’m going!! Best drinks I’ve honestly had since I’ve been in CA!!! ?? ??“

“Gay women goes to gay man’s bar, so take it with a grain of salt. My own fault for wasting a buck in the jukebox while music videos were playing, assumed it would override. Bartender super cool and nice, watched him cut someone off and give them water. I don’t think they have food, not certain. Low key in the day, not sure what night crowd is like.“

“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.“

“There were enough people there for a good atmosphere, yet it wasn't crowded. When they played the live music it was a bit too loud for us to be able to hear each other, but I had a lot of fun! The bartenders were friendly, pretty, and easy to get along with. I would absolutely go back next time I have the chance!“

“Nice place to enjoy with friends & family . Too bad it closed down in LB“

“(Translated by Google) Fun place, great friends, nice girls, pool table in good condition and fresh air in the back? I recommend it. Very safe ?(Original)Lugar divertido, grandes amistades, chicas agradables, mesa de billar en buenas condiciones y en la parte de atrás aire fresco? lo recomiendo. Muy seguro ?“
