love sweetwater so much, my home away from home. crystal and ree are the best; they always take such good care of me :)
riahna & crystal- best bartenders in long beach. my absolute favorite spot to get a drink. always nice, talkative, inclusive. great energy & vibes at sweetwater. i always tell my friends and people i meet at my own work to hit up this spot!
Great bar for lesbians. Staff gets a bit inattentive on free pool days (Wednesdays) due to the rush and the Long Island Iced Tea is disappointing, but the staff is great at making almost every other standard cocktail, and the atmosphere and community is wonderful.

Sweetwater Saloon is a welcoming spot that offers a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The quaint setting features friendly staff and well-maintained pool tables, creating an inviting ambiance. While the cash-only bar may pose a challenge for some, the staff's great service makes up for it. The jukebox provides a variety of music, attracting locals who often stop by to socialize or enjoy a game. Although parking can be limited, the bar's metal head-friendly vibe and chill local crowd make it a popular destination.
The reviews praise the bar's atmosphere, with one customer describing a memorable evening playing pool with friendly, diverse locals. The bartender, Terry, is commended for prompt and friendly service. However, one reviewer had a less positive experience with the bartender at closing time, noting the need for a more considerate approach.
Despite a few minor issues, the Sweetwater Saloon is widely regarded as a wonderful bar with good drinks and good bartenders. The Wednesday drink deal, free pool, and the on-site taco truck are among the highlights mentioned by customers. Overall, the Sweetwater Saloon offers a welcoming and lively environment for both the local LGBTQ community and those seeking a casual, dive bar experience.
