“One of our go-to places when I'm in town. Decent selection of beers, food is decent, service is good.Parking: Depending on how busy it is, you might be searching for a while for a parking spot. That's about the only downside to this place.“
“Tawdry little dive bar. Place to go to get away from reality. Took my coworker there, got a little crazy, left with a great memory. Racism? Not. Food, only had the food once, carnitas and the barbacoa, great, and cheap. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Be happy you can go somewhere with a friend, or whatever, and enjoy the friend along with some great food, drink, music. And a happy staff that treats you with dignity, not a mark. Tip them good, they deserve it and they will remember.“
“Love ordering the spicy chicken wahoo's salad! It's so refreshing. I add extra pico de gallo and salsa i stead of dressing. Staff are always friendly and have my order ready on time. Just a bummer that they don't stay open that late, but I get it since that little shopping center doesn't get that much attention“
“There's definitely a reason this place keeps coming up everywhere as number ones bartenders are nice with a touch of sass like you'd like at a dive bar, but it's elevated. The prices are pretty pricey, but for the love ingredients and originality of the cocktails I guess it's alright, but I'm not staying for more than two lol. We ordered 4 cocktails and two mocktails and it was about $100 so time to go home lol. They have yummy little snacks and overall we were happy with this new Long Beach spot.“
“This place reminds me of the amazing restaurants in the city of Mexico (MCDC, something). The ambiance is clean, cool and collected. I love the lighting, the design of every corner. Exceptional vibe. The drinks are all carefully crafted and taste delicious. The food is unique and has its own twist on traditional can dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant for a fun date night or to take clients out.“
“Exquisite ambience, innovative food and nice service! Went there for the dinner on Valentine’s and it was worth every penny. The dishes are really innovative and still have that touch of Indian food. Apt and balanced spices. Loved the way they have put in so much efforts in improvising the dishes.I ordered butter chicken pot pie, garlic naan, dum biryani, death by chocolate.Dessert was a 3/5 though, it wasn’t really that tasty.“
“This was my 2nd time here. First time was for drinks and dessert which I loved so I decided to come back for a birthday dinner. We had no problems getting a table for 5 on a Saturday at 7pm. We were seated in the back room. The atmosphere was very Vegas lounge like. They even had a dj come in at 8pm to play. The service here was really nice. Food and drinks we loved too. Asian fusion style of menu. We tried 3 of the desserts and all 3 were soooo good. Definitely a place for date night or celebrating a special occasion. They even gave the birthday boy a little birthday gift. A must try for sure for all. =)“
“Love this very fun themed long beach bar! The special drinks are all very tasty and not simply variations on the standards. The bartenders know their stuff. And a great list of mocktails to include everyone in the fun! Live music is a plus!“
“I grew up in Long Beach so I know how hard it is to own & run a small business in our community, Chuckie Miller has provided a quaint n chill environment to enjoy a drink ? and enjoy a night out Where you can enjoy some music ? a great environment and they've also got some great food ? Damn Dizzle is whipping up some treats all can enjoy wether outback or at yhe LongBeachUnifried food truck!!! Been a few times and I'd recommend this spot to any and all that want to have a good time!! Bartender serves great drinks and staff is friendly as well!!Wheelchair accessibility: I'm in a chair & can't always get in or around places but This spots defined wheelchair friendly & accessible!!!“
“We. Are here for our friends birthday. Very nice vibe with an industrial plus natural ambiance as they use lots of metal and wood for decoration. We ordered the SS signature burger, some appetizers (truffle fries, Korean style pork belly with lettuce wrap, calamari), some drinks and a dessert (pistachio cake, which is all right). The food in general was tasty but not mind blowing. Probably above average. The waitress was super friendly. Recommend for friends and family gathering.“
“fantastic nook in long beach. great food (pretty classic bar fare but done very well), great bar, great service. some nights with live music, atmosphere spot on. i'll definitely be back to explore the menu a little more and have the bar teach me a drink or two.“
“Great quality of food. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. The handrolls are stuffed with chopped fish cubes rather than ground meat, which I love.Premium handrolls are worth trying. The A5 wagyu beef is so fatty and delicious. Uni is fresh and sweet with no weird taste.I also love that they have a wide selection of sides. And they are all delicious. Strongly recommend the edamame and furikake fries.Service is great except that the server forgot about some of our orders. But it’s understandable, we are party of 8 and ordered a bunch of different rolls not sets. They served the missing rolls right away after we mentioned it. Water is filled in time. Payments were settled smoothly(split b/w 4 cards).Parking is easier and right in front of the restaurant. They have outdoor and indoor seatings, which can accommodate a lot more people than the other locations.Overall a nice experience. Would recommend this place and come back when in the area.“
“Great cocktails, excellent creative dishes, beautiful space. Has free parking across the street. Would be packed if it were in a fancier neighborhood or in LA. Hope more people in LB discover it!Vegetarian options: Definitely enough vegetarian options to get by, all quality.Parking: Street parking is usually tight, but there is reserved off street parking in a lot across the street that I've never seen full.“
“What a hidden gem! Ample parking and a beautiful space. Who would've known there's a great spot in this business area? Service was awesome! And everyone was very friendlThe drink menu was so diverse and they even have large batch cocktails to go. The food menu has something for everyone. I liked that there was breakfast and pastries along with lunch items.We got two bloody Mary's, a cold brew, salad, soup, burger and sandwich. Which came out to about $80ish before tips. Everything was so good! I want to go back to try more.“
“Fabulous restaurant ran by fabulous people who creat wonderful food. We were looking for a steak place that was of good quality, but also down to earth. Plus we have been seeking restaurants that serve lamb, since it is my grandmother's favorite. We found Patty's Place and were extremely happy with everything! It's a quaint venue that is intimate and full of good people. The staff treats you like they've known you forever and they are so incredibly helpful.“
“This was a most delightful late lunch here today in great part due to the exceptionally hospitable and knowledgeable staff. The restaurant's interior is traditionally regal and cozy however we opted to eat in their spacious outside eating area on this beautiful afternoon. No regality was lost by being outside for we were in the care of Gilberto, our wonderful principle waiter. He understood our every need and pampered us like one seldom encounters in Long Beach. We began with an Old Sicilian cocktail. It's probably fortunate the photo didn't come out else I'd be shamelessly punning the caption, but most importantly it was delicious with quite a punch. The crab cake appetizer, also delicious, was followed by the best hamburger that I've ever had and that includes any produced from my kitchen (I consider that to be the highest praise). Bf gave me a taste and there is no question that I will be ordering this next time. For a special treat, Gilberto presented us with a beautiful crème brûlée. When requiring a flawless dining experience, this is perfection, They are Masters of their craft.“
“Food is pretty standard breakfast brunch fare. Good good but nothing extra special.The atmosphere is really really cute. Decor is fun and chic. Came here with a large group for a bridal brunch and everyone was late but the staff was super accommodating.“
“Visited Blvd Cocktails for the first time last night. My wife and I had a great time. The music was just right. The atmosphere was friendly and chill. They have weekly raffles. We bought $10 worth of tickets and won $50 at their 11:30 raffle drawing. Our bartender Alisa was awesome. She was welcoming, friendly, and made some great suggestions for our drinks. Alisa's friendly service is definitely a reason we will return for more drinks and to sample the menu.“
“Everything was great. Atmosphere was amazing. Drinks took awhile and my friend whose birthday it was never got her second drink. And when it was time to pay I wanted to leave a little early so I had the waiter split my bill plus the birthday girl's drink and he ended up charging me the remainder on my card which was $130 instead of the $68 eventually we put everything on my card and had two transactions on my card instead of voiding it and having that amount pinned on my bank account. For what it's worth if this happens to you especially if you go in a large party remember that it is best to just zelle each other then void the transaction and have multiple pending transactions on your bank account. I was a little disappointed that all the waiter wanted to offer was to void the whole thing because as a server myself I know that this causes multiple pending transactions. So from both the customers point of view and the servers to make your life easier and theirs remember that nobody's perfect and mistakes can be made and if you can take the initiative to lead your group so that the money isn't lost in cyberspace so that not only the bill gets paid but everybody feels like they put a fair amount in then your experience will be a good one even if it seems like it's going south. So in conclusion I ended up staying a little bit longer than I wanted to but I felt like this was an experience that had to be shared and I hope this is helpful for people in the future.“
“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.“
“Reminded me of the old days The old fashion TV which was still working with old cartoons,push button phone, couch covers and appliances. Blast from the past. I can not wait to go back and try other food choices. Fresh squeezed orange juice Umm.“
“We came here on a Tuesday afternoon at lunchtime. There is a taco special that is competitive for the level of service, quality, and ambiance. The staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean. I would recommend this to a friend and I would come back. The portions are perfect. The chips and salsa/dips are really delicious.“
“Came for my girl’s birthday and had a great time. Half of it was because of the food, the other half was from the service received by Hector. 10/10. Thank you, guys ?Parking: Big structure right next door. Came on a Friday evening and parked in 2 min.Wheelchair accessibility: Just wheel yourself in and have a nice meal. There are no stairs to heaven in this case.“
“One of my favorite karaoke joints! GREAT sound system. The owners are very kind and greet you upon arrival. Nice yard area to get away from the noise or have a smoke break. Love the lighting in this place. Always decorated festively. Attracts a nice crowd, I don’t come across many (if any) bro-ey frat boy people.“
“This place . AMAZING. I absolutely recommend the iced Thai tea. This inside is gorgeous ! If you're looking for best entrée, GET THE GARLIC NOODLE SHRIMP. The drunken noodles is also great! For appetizers, we've gotten the crab rangoon and chicken wings. Let me just say .. GET THE CRAB RANGOON!! it's so delicious. Will come back again and bring more people. The service is nice. LOVE.“
“Came here from L. A. JUST for the Kabocha squash bisque, which I literally CRAVE! Heart skipped a beat when I learned it's not usually served until dinner- but It WAS READY! Yeeeaah me! Eating one serving here, and taking a few home for a few days during the week! It's worth the long drive!!!“
“Beautiful on the inside. It’s a place where I feel like I could go on a date or with the guys for lunch. Prices are really good. Portions are large. I will be back here. I was here for lunch. I also appreciate the presentation of my plate.“
“Such a pretty spot! I came here with a group on our last day in LB. the food was great and the cocktails were spectacular. I would def go for the fried rice and they brought out the spice rack which made the food even better. Service was great and we were able to have a quiet dinner upstairs. My group got a range of different food items all were unique and delicious. My crab fried rice was very good. I recommend the Mai tai and you must leave room for dessert they have an entire dessert menu!“
“My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and he chose it because we were going to the Opera after to see La Traviata, so he wanted to make a theme night. The restaurant is small and quaint. They had live music. The decor is very simple, a bit rustic? But had some very pretty chandeliers. You must have reservations and must arrive on time. Our server was very polite and was quick at answering questions and making suggestions. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, and my husband had the Lasagna. Both were very delicious. We did not have any wine although it looked like they had a good selection and we opted for no dessert (good selection as well), as our meals were pretty good size. We both liked it and would go back. This restaurant has been open for 25 yrs.Parking: There is a public parking structure but it was a block away. Street parking is metered“
“I have just moved to OC and glad to have a great time at Isla. Food was yummy - the plantain chips, ceviche, sautéed garlic butter shrimps, oxtails, yuca fries, cocktails, etc. Ricardo was very helpful and gave us some great suggestions. Great service and atmosphere, would love to return soon!“
“They don't serve food here, but you are welcome to bring your own food Inside. You are also welcome to smoke your vapes inside. Bathrooms are kept very clean along with the whole bar and booth areas. Karaoke nights are always a good time with good vibes and friendly people.Parking: More than enough parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp about 20 ft. From entrance“
“Everything was delicious! Parking was a little rough but we found some street parking in the residential area behind the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend if you like seafood. We had the spicy steamers starters, the sea bass and the black squid ink linguine.“
“Our favorite neighborhood hang right now! Riley's never disappoints. I love the Watermelon Margarita. They have a decent beer selection. All the food is excellent! The Poke Wonton Tostadas and Ceviche are delicious and reliable appetizers. The Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad and the Steak Salad are two of my favorites. They serve very, very good pizzas and burgers. But my absolute all time favorite item on the Riley's menu is the Smash Burger. This burger is perfect in every way!!! If you haven't checked Riley's out yet, I recommend you do.“
“I drank, played pool, and played music. This establishment is very Veteran friendly. They treat Veterans VERY good and honored! I really enjoy hanging out with other Vets. Thank you, "Blue Door" and everyone! Signed: Lt. Robert Carr, Vietnam Veteran.Wheelchair accessibility: I sometimes have to use my walker (similar to a wheelchair) and this establishment has plenty of room to move around. Thank you.“
“Came here on a recommendation. We wanted a place to eat and have a few cocktails. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio has heaters. There were also several large groups. Our waitress was incredibly helpful. We had Brussel sprouts to start. Ordered the halibut and the seabass. The pistachio tiramisu wasn’t quite what we expected and didn’t finish it.“
“BARCODE WAS INSANSEE (IN A GOOD WAY) the owner is always on standby making sure the service is 10/10. He is AMAZING!!!!! I live the next street over and and he was SUPER accommodating and welcoming. He recommended me and my friends a good drinks and got us complimentary shots!! The shot was amazing but even without the shot it SHOULD NOT allow you from coming here. SOOO CHEAP SOOOO GOOD! I love it, AND YOU SHOULD TOOO!!!!“
“My name is Juan I was visiting California from winter garden Florida, I order food for delivery to my Quinta hotels near by and I highly recommend this RestaurantCustomer service was excellent, food was delivered fast and good quality please visit this restaurant 5 star all the way“
“Such a cute and comfy sports bar ! Came during happy hour and the food did not disappoint ? from the wings to the sliders everything was delicious. Servers and everyone working there is so nice and welcoming and make the atmosphere in there very cheerful. Will definitely come back for the ribs and more ??“
“Before heading to visit 'Eclipsed Emporium' I was suggested by my wife to come and check out this place. She had seen it a few times driving by before.We came in for dinner and to our surprise they had pretty good Mexican food. Chips & salsas were homemade and delicious.She & I both had their Molé Burritos and our daughter had their Chicken Burrito.Drinks to accompany were Mango Margarita, Iced Tea, and Horchata.To end the meal we had their Churros & Horchata ice cream for dessert.Restaurant was clean, organized, their service was friendly & professional.Our waitress was above & beyond.Didn't remember her name,however she was very cute & bubbly.We would come back for their excellent service.“

“Had my guilty pleasure, a fried chicken sandwich. Came on a 4 section King's bakery roll so it was like getting 4 sliders. Tender, juicy chicken with a light fried chicken coating. Wasn't overly greasy and it was easy to cut into the 4 sections so I shared one with my wife who also enjoyed it.“

“First Timer to a Ramen restaurant and as one should asked about the menu and customer favorites. Service was very helpful, very busy and staff were pleasant. I chose customer favorite and enjoyed it with warm sake. Entree was sufficient but many other tables had starters. I believe I would return to try another dish. 5pm is before the rush, we sat at 6pm and inside sitting was packed.“
“We discovered this place about a year ago when shopping at Lazy Acres. It was busy on our first visit but no surprise for a Sunday around noon. We don't eat burgers often, but my wife and I were both in the beef mood. Had their basic burger and it was nothing short of AMAZING. Went back there this past Wednesday and we both ordered their double burger Fuego style. Even more AMAZING! Excellent beef flavor, hot and spicy ghost pepper cheese and the "Familiar Sauce" has a great bite as well. The place was just as busy on a Wednesday night as it was at Sunday lunch. Obviously, a neighborhood favorite.Check it out next time you're in the area. You'll not be disappointed.“
“Exceptional Bartender, Unforgettable DrinksI recently had the pleasure of being served by Nate at Rodeo Bar. From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for a treat. Nate's expertise in mixology is truly impressive, and it's evident that he's passionate about his craft.The drinks he concocted were nothing short of amazing. Each one was a delightful work of art, perfectly balanced in both flavor and presentation. Nate's recommendations were spot-on, and he had a knack for understanding my taste preferences.Beyond the outstanding drinks, Nate also created a memorable experience. He was engaging, friendly, and attentive, making the evening all the more enjoyable. It's not often that you come across a bartender who not only knows how to make great drinks but also knows how to connect with customers.I highly recommend visiting Rodeo 39 and asking for Nate if you're looking for a top-notch bartender who can craft remarkable cocktails and provide an overall fantastic experience. I can't wait to return for another round of his incredible creations!“
“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.)“
“This bar reminds me of Cheers the sitcom. I go after work once a week but sometimes not every week. The bar tenders are super friendly and once you get to know them, their like a next door neighbor that you like. They will continue to get my business. They have all day happy hour specials on the board.Parking: Depending on what day and what time of day, parking will be difficult. Weekdays are plenty of parking.“
“Stopped at Lucky John's based on the reviews and we were blown away with how good the food was. The cheeseburgers, tacos, and pulled pork sliders were all worth coming back for. Megan the bartender/waitress was fantastic. Cool vibe, great food, will definitely return!“
“I can't believe I haven't written a review here yet! (Thought I did!) Anyway, first came here last year for my sister's friend/band member's birthday party! (Jordan) And some of his art work was displayed for sale. It was pretty fun! The DJ booth looks cool! The giant screen allowed them to play their new music video for their band called Wamdingis! (Check them out!) That night was lit! Thank you to the bar tenders & chef! The fried cheese curds were unforgettable! Came back here another time with a girlfriend because she was sad about her guy. Anyway, we ordered the tater tots (yummy!) & some seltzer drinks. I sang a song for Karaoke night on Sunday. We also ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and added bacon! Omg! So glad we split it! That was too good! Then we bar hopped a little before going home. Tonight, I was supposed to help my sister's band with merch at the Santa Ana art walk but they finished before I got there so I turned around and went home and Lyfted here. Ordered the garlic lemon pepper wings & cheese curds! Mmmm! So good! Highly recommended! The kitchen is open until 1 or 2am! Woohoo! So this is def a 2-in-1 spot! Parking sucks on the streets so just Lyft here! Maybe I'll see you guys around!“
“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“
“Went back to visit Alder & Sage this morning. I had the Classic Breakfast again. Super delicious and the Sangria beverage was very refreshing too. The vibe is always great here. The customer service by my waiter Jessica was excellent. She's probably one of the best hospitality people I've been privileged to serve in this Industry. I work in restaurants too so when I say she's the best I really mean it. This place always deserves 5 Stars. Thank-you again Alder & Sage.“
“I went there for lunch with three friends. It was sprinkling and cold so we went inside instead of the covered patio area. Inside was very noisy, we could barely hear ourselves speak. The area is small with a huge bar. Next time we come we will try the patio area. The food and service were great.“
