The bartender, Ricardo makes the most delicious drinks. Meredith is the most amazing host and everything went so smoothly because of her! Love this place!“

“"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!"“

“Meet Me at the Mary.

Most Tuesdays the Queen Mary has an event called Meet Me at the Mary. You must make reservations online. 4-8 pm. Gives you free access to the whole ship, parking is discounted to $10. (you must validate at the bar).

You cannot beat the atmosphere and view. 1930's decor. Live band with singer, playing big band music.

You can self-tour the ship before or after. (Engine room closes at 6pm).

They discontinued happy hour prices November 2025.

Food was great. We had a Flatbread (Queen Mary 3 Stacks, sorry we ate half in the picture) and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Bistro Chips.

A bit pricey but well worth it.“

“Been here a bunch of times. Great custom cocktails all their own plus all the classics. They probably have every type of liquor you can think of. Great service--they always hand you a menu as soon as you come in the door. Order your drinks at the bar--might have to work you way between people sitting at the bar. They don't take orders from the seating area, I've seen people leave thinking they are not getting served. Just order at the bar. Good drinks and good wine and beer options too. NOT a great place for large groups.“

“The food is amazing 10/10 but the outdoor patio dinning is awful. You cannot have a conversation because the sound echos so loudly and when the staff moves tables around they drag it along the tile and all of the tables have to stop and wait till they are done to be able to speak again with your table.“

“I absolutely Love Love LB Unified Bar & Lounge. If your looking for an amazing time with great music, great people, delicious food - a place to meet and network with entrepreneurs, business owners and the like- this is the place to be!!! The owner Chuckie Miller knows how to make sure everyone has the Best time!! Drinks/ Sports/ Music/ Conversation!!“

“10/10 The best friendly atmosphere Relaxing Great customer service Fresh food with in mins The Dodgers game was on I really enjoyed the restaurant I will recommend this to my friends and family please visit and enjoy The best in months“

“Had the best dinner Friday night. The food was amazing and fresh. They grow their own vegetables, The service was friendly and informative. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend for a night out. Get the food sampler for 2. Worth the price. Can’t wait to try brunch.“

“First time here and what a sweet spot! The vibe was easygoing, welcoming, and respectful from the moment I walked in. Two pool tables, a hidden gem of a back patio, and exactly the kind of chill, no-frills gay bar you want when you just need to unwind. The crowd was kind and sociable without being overwhelming. Definitely coming back.“

“We stopped here after biking the beach path for a couple of hours, wow it was so good!

Food was beyond expectations. We got the waygo cheeseburger, Cobb salad, and onion rings. All three were delicious, but especially the burger and salad.

Burger: thick, juicy, flavorful - best one I've had in the past year.

Salad: beautifully composed, perfectly ripe tomatoes and avacado, TONS of blue cheese and bacon, and they tossed the greens before. Excellent!

Adding a picture of the beach too, cuz, I love California!“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“

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

“My favorite restaurant in South Bay LA. Grass-fed beef. Organic produce from farmer's markets. Fabulous wine list featuring small, organic & biodynamic producers. Plus a great value! Gotta love PSP Steak!“

“great place! top to bottom“

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

“A wonderful speak easy for a cozy date or a solo wanderlust night out. From the red lanterns to the nook style row of chairs by the bar, the entire ambiance mimics the hole in the wall Japanese bars of shinjiku and shibuya. Almost every nostalgic Japanese whiskey and gin is available in well curated cocktails. The paid vacation was my choice“

“Don't let the unassuming neon glow of the strip mall fool you. Once inside you'll be transported to a dive bar tiki paradise full of welcoming locals, cheap beer and limited distractions.
A throw back to simpler time when you were not overwhelmed with menu options or craft beer choices.
This is truly a slice of island paradise in an urban jungle“

“wonderful staff & great food“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!“

“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.“

“🍺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.“

“Always a pleasure. Food is yummy, the drinks are tasty, and the service is consistently excellent. Kate, the owner, is gracious to everyone there.Have been there for many reasons -- casual hang out, business meetings, watching sports, Taco Tuesday, jazz brunch, big family events -- and it's always great. The patio and inside both are both awesome while providing different vibes depending on your mood. Thrilled to have Huddy's (formerly Hudson House) as part of the Redondo Beach community.“

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“I am a femme lesbian. I am quiet, tend to just enjoy my alone time and mind my own business. I stopped in here last night because I'm traveling solo and wanted a safe place to hang out around like-minded queer folks. Brought a notebook because I didn't feel like staring at my phone. Disappointingly, I was heckled by a patron who insisted I was straight, didn't belong, and was only there because I wanted attention. They weren't quiet about it. Appeared to be a regular.

The staff were otherwise kind and welcoming. I wish I could give this place 5 stars, but I do feel that general social atmosphere is a pretty major contributor to overall quality/safety, especially in queer-forward spaces.“

“wonderful staff & great food“

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

“Decadence is the place to come for great cocktails and food. They have excellent service and provide amazing music on the weekends. I brought my friends to decadence and had a great time! Did I mention the amazing ambiance! Great for a night out in Hermosa beach! Highly recommend!“

“Nicest spot on 4th street, to have great food with friends, excellent wine & drinks and maybe a coffee or two to start the day! Can’t wait for the tapas menu to start 😊❤️“

“I went last night for my BDay and I had such a great experience. The staff Amazing! Great Recommendations, The drinks and food good. The lobster roll needed a little seasoning but overall I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Hard to find parking and it’s not a big place(just the type of area). I’m going back for the New Orleans Oyster ALONE 😋!“

“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“

“Never had a bad meal or service!“

“Every cocktail they add to their menu is a true delicacy. I’ve been coming here since they opened in March 2024 and it’s been fascinating to watch as they evolve; from enhancing their space with more decor, to switching up their robust selection of seasonal cocktails, and building a community that values ohana. The Hula Hula Room is the perfect place for your date, meet up with friends or family. Food is not served here, but you’re welcome to bring in takeout if you like.

Drink favorites: The South Blue, Pain Killer, Zombie, the Oaxacan Grog (seasonal)“

“Came in for taco Tuesday to have the cod fish tacos, and they were amazing! Where can you get a taco for under 3 dollars that’s actually delicious, also had the michelada, first time and I’m hooked ~
Can’t wait till my next trip“

“Small bars usually offer a casual yet friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
• Staff Attitude: Most small bar staff are warm and welcoming. Unlike fine dining restaurants, they tend to be more engaging, often chatting with guests, recommending drinks, and even remembering regular customers’ preferences.
• Serving Speed: Since the main focus of a bar is alcoholic beverages, the food may take longer to be served compared to a regular restaurant. However, most bars offer quick-prep bar snacks to complement the drinks.
• Personalized Service: Some small bars provide customized cocktails based on customers’ tastes or offer hidden menu options to enhance the experience.“

“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.“
