Great cocktails, iconic venue and top staff, fabulous
The drinks at this bar were really good but the servers weren't the greatest. Despite the sub part customer service my girlfriend and I still enjoy our drinks.
The best for a cocktail, and cold beer! 🍺

The Observation Bar on the Queen Mary is a charming venue that features beautiful art deco decoration and offers stunning views of Downtown Long Beach. The ambiance is lively and elegant, with friendly staff and efficient service. Guests can enjoy great cocktails while listening to live music, especially on Thursdays when a jazz trio performs. Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. Monday to Thursday provides a beautiful sunset view, making it a popular choice for many. Although prices can be high, especially during this time, the atmosphere, including the large ballroom dance scene painted above the bar, draws visitors for an enjoyable evening out.
While the food menu is limited, the drinks are delicious, though some cocktails can be on the sugary side. Recommendations like the grinch margarita are a hit among guests. The bar is small, which can lead to slower service during busy times, but the staff works hard to provide good service. Free parking on Tuesdays adds to the convenience. Overall, this venue is perfect for a date night, a classy group outing, or a special occasion, with good drinks, good service, and a memorable experience. Guests are encouraged to reserve tickets online in advance, even though they are often free. The unique charm of the Queen Mary and its historic ambiance make this an ideal spot to relax and soak in the sights.
