Didn't enjoy our two stops there. It was difficult to get service. The website brags about the community garden with outdoor seating. My first visit it was overgrown, the next a yearish later it's barren. The garden was the only reason we visited, guess that was our mistake.

I've been here a bunch, just realized I've still never written them a review, so fixing that finally. They are definitely a "neighborhood bar" first, cocktail bar second - it's a great chill vibe, the sort of place that's never too busy (at least when I've been there) and where the music is never too loud to be able to talk. Their bartenders are all great, and they have quality spirits and reasonably priced drinks. And they do *have* a cocktail list - but compared to, for instance, Wicked Wolf nearby, for similar prices, cocktails that aren't quite as complex or as exciting, necessarily, but they have all been great cocktails. I also particularly like that they have, at least at the moment, Buffalo Trace on hand, so I can put that in any whiskey cocktail for about the same price. On their current menu, I particularly liked the "Cameoi" (bourbon, basil, lemon, blueberry, hibiscus cider) and the "Conquistador" (corn vodka, frangelico, romepope custard liqueur - as-is, it's basically a drinkable dessert, which is great if you're looking for dessert, but it's also an easy drink to swap different spirits in - I've also tried off-menu versions with mezcal and with Buffalo Trace that were also great.) I have only actually gotten food here once, and it was a couple years ago - their flatbread was nothing I'd go out of my way for specifically, but it's definitely also something I'd be happy to order if I were hungry and I was here. That said, the *real* draw that keeps getting me to stop in here, is the live jazz they have every Saturday at 8 PM. The jazz trio that plays here is fantastic, so whenever I'm out that direction on Saturday in the evening (most likely because something's going on at Wicked Wolf), I also try to arrange to pop in here during the live jazz. Cocktails go great with live jazz, and they're a super talented jazz trio. (But it wouldn't be such a draw if they didn't *also* make great cocktails.)

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.

Couldn't find parking. Didn't get a chance to try it . I was very impressed that the owner called me back even though I had never even left a message. That was a classy thing to do. I look forward to actually trying the place soon.

Our go-to spot for martinis and good conversation during a 4 week training trip for my fiance and I. Cameron made the best martinis in Long Beach! We love the fact that they played shows other than professional sports on the tvs and projector. This place is a nice change from a typical tavern. Great beer selection as well.

Enjoyed this little spot. My friend and I were looking for a low key spot to enjoy drinks and conversations. Went to another spot which was closed. Found this spot and decided to give it a try. It was a Thursday around 6:30 pm. There were no customers BUT the bartender was very cool. He recommended a flat bread for us and created a drink for me that was delicious. Music was loud. The bartender alone, was fun. We enjoyed ourselves and the bartender.

Wonderful retro spot- drinks are on point and creative house crafted specials. The flatbread pizza is insanely delicious! I mostly come for Saturday Jazz with Elliot Caine trio- you can't go wrong - just wish the city of Long Beach still allowed the garden space - it was magical-- Tommy and the community made it a lush paradise- now it's a mess again- only in America would that have happened- Europe would have kept that gorgeous place for extending the Tavern's space. Many keep hoping....

My favorite bar to come to & favorite flat bread to eat. The vibes here are amazing & the staff is incredible and super attentive. I'm so happy we discovered this place and are able to share this with our friends and family.
I usually don't write reviews but I must say I was pretty pleased at the Wrigley. My friend works not that far from the Wrigley and grabs a drink after work. He mentioned how amazing the owner Tommy and bartender Betty are, which they are! I tried their flat bread pizza and that's all my mom and I talk about! So bomb!I love the vibe and the music! The drinks are amazing! Did I mention the bar is doggy friendly, too! We go often and feel like we found out go to bar for amazing drinks and vibes.

My friends and I came here because it had such great Yelp reviews. We were all starving, saw they had flatbreads and were excited for the outside patio. I will say that the service was great. The bartender and what I'm assuming was the owner were extremely attentive and kind. Very good vibes from them. Why I feel it was necessary to even leave a review is because it felt like false advertisement. First of all, the outside patio they once had no longer exists. It's extremely overgrown and they have legit 2 very small tables that feel like you're just propped up behind the building. We were really looking forward to the patio. It was just so bizarre. As for food, it was just not it. The wedge salad wasn't bad. I mean it's kind of hard to mess up a wedge salad. But the flatbread was so hard to eat. The prosciutto was basically Canadian bacon though don't quote me on that. Just didn't taste like prosciutto from my experience. But the dough was not just sooo ultra thin... but it was so soft and mushy. None of it was cooked all the way or even slightly crispy. The flavors were beyond bizarre together. We were so starving so we kinda just were like, F it let's have some anyways. We all felt sick after we ate it. I hate leaving negative reviews as I've been in the restaurant industry for 15+ years but this was the weirdest experience ever and I wish the flatbread resembled the pictures on Yelp and that they had an actual patio.

Great local bar artisanal beers on tap flatbread is really good.

Your typical neighborhood tavern one of those places that feel like you have been going there all your life! Great bartender I think his name was Cameron, and they had a killer jazz band playing live!! If you even sorta like some amazing live jazz music you have to go check it out!
