“JR I good plce to duck into for refresher is the riots continue. Saved out coats this past weekend.“

“Wonderful people!“

“A hidden gem for the poetically inclined. I was among poetic legends last week. Caught a great performance and got to see some fellow spoken word artists. This place is the spot if you wanna get a drink alone or with a friend. Come check out some poetry or get a drink. You wont regret it.“

“I didn't even know this place existed until a neighbor took me here. Its very spacious it's super clean and it's definitely much better than most neighborhood bars. I actually thought this place was a liquor store in passing. Sally is a great bartender. Very personable and a joy to converse with. There's 3 pool tables and ample room for a crowd.“

“We spent a few hours here on New Year's Eve. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The owner greeted us and offered us snacks.
They have a live DJ spinning turntables, bumping music from the past to present. There's an outdoor patio in the back.
The drinks were tasty and affordable. Try the Adios MthrFckr. Bomb!“

“This place is a great place to hang out and watch a jazz trio on thursdays. The bar looks out on the bay and long beach. you can step outside to the observation deck of the ship. It is very art deco, lots of wood, a big ballroom dance scene is painted above the bar. Service is slow when it gets busy though, the bar is small and the servers have to use the same bar as everyone else. The drinks are mixed well though. Great atmosphere! You want to reserve a ticket on the website in advance even though they are usually free.“

“Wow! This is a hidden gem! Had a few hours until our flight out of Long Beach. Found this amazing spot for a coffee and was absolutely blown away by the owner(Shannon) and the menu! We ordered 2 coffees a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The coffees were amazing, the owner made me a custom coffee. I asked for 'Something Sweet' and the drink was so good we ordered a 2nd one. Cinnamon roll was hot, sweet, and cream cheese frosted. Licked the bowl clean! Breakfast Sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and was so tasty! We will plan our future trips to this Airport just to have this coffee and cinnamon roll again! 10/10! Oh and the reggae music jamming is the vibe!!“

“The Wrigley Tavern is an up and coming venue that promotes jazz music and a very hip vibe!“

“Should b called Lakewood’s Best kept secret!! Hahahaa those that kno...then ya kno!!“

“Amazing bar, Jose was very nice; an amazing and attentive bartender. He made us feel very welcomed and made sure everything was on point!

The place is very cozy with a nice terrace where you can smoke while having your drink. I had a great time!

A place I would highly recommend.“

“Overall it was good , female bartender very nice Taller gentlemen very nice JT, most everyone , very nice welcoming , bareback or guy behind bar gave off a uncomfortable vibe , his facial expressions told the story , if he treated any of my customers like that I would fire him , I didn't eat since my appetite was destroyed by guys horrible vibe , he was very nice to 2 women giving them drinks but when 1 of them offered me her shot , the look on the bartender guy was angry , my 1st time there so his actions where for nothing NOT GOOD SPOT I WOULDNT GO BACK“

“Everything great“

“🍺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.“

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.“

“This is the spot if you need a good, cold drink & a chill, old school vibe. I don’t like bars that have windows & Poor Denny’s is old school in that regard. Ever since Ember’s Lounge closed down, this has been my spot. It’s cash only, but there’s a ATM machine there. I love the digital jukebox that allows you to play all kinds of music. The bartenders are always nice & they have wonderful hands on the pours. ? Good vibes & mellow times here.“

“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 love this place. It's friendly, the bartender is an absolute sweetheart, the KJ is amazing, and they don't over serve and have overly drunk patrons there amd harassing other customers. Karaoke here is a blast and the KJ is very fair with the lineup. This is my new spot to hang after a long week. ❤️❤️❤️“

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

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

“Baby Gee is by far the best place in Long Beach to get cocktails! Not only is Giana an amazing owner, she has created an outstanding menu of cocktails and mocktails and also hired a crew that is knowledgeable, friendly and above all, makes great drinks!“

“The Exhibition Room is located inside Roxanne's. We often go to Roxx bc they have good food and drinks. The juice is freshly squeezed, which makes a great cocktail!
We always get the beef sliders and the herb fries (can't rmbr what they are called) plus a big pile of nachos.“

“"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!"“

“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.“

“I both love and loathe gentrification. In the case of this bar, I loathe gentrification, if only for the increased prices in drinks. Staff is great. However, the bar fights used to be entertaining, but those don't happen anymore. That's a bit depressing.“

“Awesome cocktails 🍹 and super friendly staff“

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

“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!!“

“Awesome bar, for all those that left bad reviews came in wasted.
Roberta and Lonnie are all about safety and care about their well being.
If you want local all good time I highly recommend this bar. Also music selection here is top tier
You all enjoy :)“

“great place! top to bottom“

“Came here with the boys on a Saturday night of debauchery. Always drive by, never went in. Decided to visit instead of the bikini bar across the street. Very pleased, excellent prices, awesome regulars(from what I could tell). Very chill and welcoming. They had karaoke going which was fun. Cash only though.“

“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“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“Second time here, sitting outside right now on a beautiful Thursday morning with my sister. Found this place on a FB reel. Beautifully decorated and you just feel like you ARE, WELCOMED here. It’s just wonderful.“

“If your into square dancing and finger samich's well your going to love this hidden jewel! Snug harbor is stashed away in a little corner AND the best bartender/sqaredancer/samich maker from the hidaway works there now.. So suit and boot in your best sqare suit and cha-cha on in and YOU WELL be welcomed as if it's a surprise party just for you.. go with God and I am outta here...“

“Karoeke night was Fun! They have a fancy way of scheduling their list to sing (screen recording included). The bar has a pool table, chill vibes, super friendly staff (cash only) and overall friendly patrons.Oh and Olga's Cocina food truck stopped by and their food is amazing! I didn't get a picture of the food I ate it too fast lol.“

“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“

“I had a memorable evening 🍷 & playing pool with all of the friendly, chill locals that wandered in. Hogged the pool table with a diverse group of male & female challengers.Neighborhood bar for all with the atmosphere y'all gravitate towards...dance, prance & romance if that's what you're after (or not!)
My one beef was wthe bartender at closing. I'm aware of his responsibilities to get us out when everyone's feeling no pain @2 am. Closing....not an easy job!
Perhaps one can attribute his fatigue & impatience trying to get us the hell out that resulted in my perceived rude encounter with El Jefe right at the end of a fun evening. Tone & attitude translate, my friend. Ya gotta be firm but not antagonistic.👹
I tipped 50% for 3 drinks at 11 per.
One would hope that might mollify a prickly attitude. Just take a deep breath next time,Sir, and EVERYONE will benefit...CHEERS!!🤗🤪💮🌟“

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

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“It’s cool to drink cold beer and mingle with locals“

“Great local bar, drinks are affordable service is friendly and tvs have local sports. Perfect day care for Dad’s. Ladies leave your husbands in good hands!“

“This place is great.. kind of hidden in plain sight. The bartender was great .. I ordered one drink and then when asked for suggestions I was pleasantly surprised at how great his suggestions were .. overall drinks were delicious and his service was great ?. Would definitely come back and price for drinks was great.“

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

“Solid lunch experience. The tostada was fresh delicious and new flavors that worked well together. Cheeseburger and fries were solid. Flat white delicious! The ambiance is very cute, Palm Springs motel vibe. The only hang up is that it is a little pricier than most lunch experiences in the area, but I feel like the price is justified with the quality of food and experience.“

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars for this place! Our server, Tu was amazing and very patient in helping us make a decision on drinks, apps and the main course. Drinks were very well made and the atmosphere is vibrant! Definitely making this a regular stop.“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

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

“Azabu in Whittier was 🔥! Food was fresh and delicious, service was amazing—shoutout to Yuli for taking such great care of us. The ube cheesecake was absolute gas. Only heartbreak? No chocolate cake… guess I’ll have to come back for it. 😉“
