“Ricardo took care of us so great! His cocktails were divine and from another universe. He is sincerely a beautiful soul! And you guys are blessed and lucky to have such a great Barman working for your establishment!! Give this man a raise !!!“

“"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!"“

“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 swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“First time here and what a sweet spot! The vibe was easygoing, welcoming, and respectful from the moment I walked in. Two pool tables, a hidden gem of a back patio, and exactly the kind of chill, no-frills gay bar you want when you just need to unwind. The crowd was kind and sociable without being overwhelming. Definitely coming back.“

“🍺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.“

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

“Meet Me at the Mary.

Most Tuesdays the Queen Mary has an event called Meet Me at the Mary. You must make reservations online. 4-8 pm. Gives you free access to the whole ship, parking is discounted to $10. (you must validate at the bar).

You cannot beat the atmosphere and view. 1930's decor. Live band with singer, playing big band music.

You can self-tour the ship before or after. (Engine room closes at 6pm).

They discontinued happy hour prices November 2025.

Food was great. We had a Flatbread (Queen Mary 3 Stacks, sorry we ate half in the picture) and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Bistro Chips.

A bit pricey but well worth it.“

“Service is great.
Bartenders and other staff are chill&welcoming. They also make an effort to create a comfortable, fun environment. Super appreciate Brianna, and other bartenders in the past years, for consistently making newcomers feel welcomed and maintain vigilance.
Drinks left behind are taken care of efficiently.
They keep a clean, uncluttered bar.

Been going here for a few years. First hangout spot I checked out when I moved here. Definitely a good vibe wether you go on weekday or weekend.“

“We gave Viahe a try. It's service is fantastic. The vibe is there. The food is almost there. It's just lacking some flavors, some quality some care, just slightly.
We had a great time, the food was good it just wasnt wow. And for these prices I want wow. Probably won't be back. But you should try it.“

“My buddies and I stumbled upon this little bar by chance. We were the only “gringos” there, but we were welcomed as if by old friends. They women who tended bar and served us were gracious hosts. It was very clean and well appointed. We had a blast, bought a shirt, and would recommend to others looking for a cold cerveza.“

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

“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 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“

“A very unique menu of drinks I wouldn’t see often. If you are someone who is willing to push your own boundaries of flavor and music profile- this is the place for you. The live music was fantastic- if I was a local I would be here more often. The band was great and the drinks made the place even better. Clean bathrooms, good priced highball drinks, good food.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing 10/10 but the outdoor patio dinning is awful. You cannot have a conversation because the sound echos so loudly and when the staff moves tables around they drag it along the tile and all of the tables have to stop and wait till they are done to be able to speak again with your table.“

“Professional, fun staff great at connecting with guests and offering them a superior experience whether you’re coming in for a cocktail or having a meal. High quality cocktails and cuisine. As Best part - it’s three concepts in one! Check this place out. You’ll love it.“

“A wonderful speak easy for a cozy date or a solo wanderlust night out. From the red lanterns to the nook style row of chairs by the bar, the entire ambiance mimics the hole in the wall Japanese bars of shinjiku and shibuya. Almost every nostalgic Japanese whiskey and gin is available in well curated cocktails. The paid vacation was my choice“

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

“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“

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

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding day at Olive & Rose, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As longtime fans of their food, we already knew that we and our guests were going to enjoy an amazing meal, but they went far beyond our expectations in every other aspect of our special day.

One of the highlights was their bartender, who went above and beyond to create personalized cocktails inspired by our love story. It was such a thoughtful and unique touch that made our wedding feel even more personal and special.

Throughout the entire evening, every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, attentive, and on the ball. They worked incredibly hard to keep the food and drinks flowing while making sure our guests were taken care of.

We were able to relax, dance the night away, enjoy incredible food, and truly soak in the moment. We left at the end of the night completely satisfied and with memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Thank you to the entire Olive & Rose team for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!“

“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!“

“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!!!“

“Rare I give 5 stars in all sections but well deserved. Panama joes next door was over crowded so I tried this spot. It was a World Cup game. Service was kind all the way through and they followed up. The chefs really care about the food. Presentation and taste was on point. Had the salmon and a taco. Atmosphere in the outside space was immaculate. Will definitely come back.“

“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!!“

“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza. Beer list is thoughtful. Wife REALLY enjoyed her Anderson Valley Rose wine with the Lamb dish Bottom line: this cafe is worth supporting. Thanks for setting up shop in Coastal Long Beach- Naples“

“wonderful staff & great food“

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

“First timer here. The wait was relatively short for a Saturday morning, as we were greeted with a big, friendly welcome. The service is excellent. Had the chicken & waffle. Delish! The other’s in my party enjoyed their meals, as well. The decor was just nostalgic enough to took me back to memories of my own Abuela. This is a great little gem. We look forward to returning.“

“wonderful staff & great food“

“great place! top to bottom“

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

“The food and prices were great but the service was exceptional. I do not remember their names but two women both with red hair were very attentive. The bar was absolute packed but they frequently checked in on us and were very accommodating. Would love to come here again.“

“Just wanted to mention the experience I had with the pancake and chicken dish, the chicken was way over cooked so much so that it was very tough. Unfortunately the pancake recipe has changed and it was thick and doughy!. Not like the ones I had a few years ago.“

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

“Amazing lunch specials and received amazing service from Chris“

“Komo Cocina is such a gem in Long Beach! The food was delicious, the cocktails were amazing, and the staff was absolutely wonderful. Danny and Morgan were especially amazing and made the experience even better! ❤

Unfortunately, during our visit, there was a family being extremely loud, with kids running up and down the restaurant, which made it a little difficult to fully enjoy the atmosphere. That said, I know that’s not something the restaurant can necessarily control.

Overall, Komo Cocina is an amazing spot with great food, drinks, and incredible staff. I would absolutely recommend it, and I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌮🍹✨“

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

“Nicest spot on 4th street, to have great food with friends, excellent wine & drinks and maybe a coffee or two to start the day! Can’t wait for the tapas menu to start 😊❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow! My bf and I checked out La Sala even though we weren’t staying at the Fairmont and were blown away by our breakfast. We split the Fairmont Breakfast and I’m not joking when we say it was one of the best prepared breakfasts we’ve had. The eggs and bacon were phenomenal but the potatoes? Literally some of the best breakfast potatoes I’ve ever had even though they don’t look that impressive. My bf was a chef for 20 years and he had major accolades for this kitchen. The coffee was delicious, too.

We strolled into the restaurant in very casual wear and were immediately welcomed by staff, but a shout-out to Eddie who made us feel like royalty with his service.

Truly a phenomenal experience and we intend to stay at the Fairmont next time I’m in town because of it.“

“Fabulous restaurant in an elegant old style European decor. really miss it now that I no longer live in Long Beach“

“There's never a bad night at this restaurant. The food is good, not amazing, but I don't want that to come through as a complaint; it's not.
The atmosphere & service are always on point, and the patio was the perfect setting to watch the share with my girl last night.“

“Fast pace restaurant! Eager waiter took our order and within minutes delivered piping hot, steaming delicious Thai dishes. Tasty, spicy, steamy, crunchy succulent morsels on every bite. Pomegranate margaritas and Sangria complimented the savory entries to the last bite. Very friendly staff, eager to please each customer. Mom & Pop shops are always the best. Plan to return in the near future with an even bigger appetite.“
