50 Best Bars near Seal Beach

“Great atmosphere and great service. The Shuffle Board Table is really fun to challenge your friends.“

“We called in today early to try catch the football from the minute we sat down we was made to feel so welcome and that was both from biff behind the bar to all the locals that came in 😁 thank you for making our last morning in California so good Sean & Jo“

“These fish tacos shot straight into the top three I’ve ever had. They’re made with Ono (also called Wahoo) — a fish I had never tried before. It’s mild, slightly sweet, and just perfect in tacos. The tortilla was thin but firm, the kind that doesn’t fall apart but still tastes fresh. On top came a crunchy, flavorful salad and a green salsa that was simply amazing — bright, tangy, and the kind of sauce you’d want to put on everything. Honestly, every bite was a knockout.

When I walked in, Shawn immediately recommended the Ono, and I’m so glad I trusted him. Thanks, buddy — you nailed it with that suggestion. And Erika’s service was just as memorable: super friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The whole experience — the food, the service, the vibe — was fantastic. These tacos weren’t just good, they stood out in a big way. No question, I’ll be back soon to see what else is on the menu. If the tacos are this good, the rest is going to be a treat.“

“Truly the most disgusting linguine and clams I’ve ever had. The clams and pasta were over cooked. On top of it all your menu listed every ingredient except the cream. I hate any dairy in my seafood. As do ALL. Italians. Most dissatisfied and disappointed. What do you expect from a seafood joint named “Walt’s”. Never again.“

“It’s an American Institution“

“Good and friendly service. Good food. The best craft beer“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“Johnnys is hands down the best pizza. The dough is fermented for 3 days before being used and their ingredients are imported from Italy. You can literally taste the quality with every bite. I’m soo glad I discovered Johnnys because I explicitly remember thinking how complicated it felt to order and waiting an hour felt ridiculous. Now, I can’t even imagine eating another pizza it’s THAT good.“

“Wonderful barstaff . Lovely place to chill and sup a few G&T’s“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

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

“This place is a GEM. I feel like I’m in an indie film every time i visit this place. This place is so freaking cool. It has all the great classics for music and friendly locals and bartender/server. Very eclectic, warm and overall relaxing.

This is by far my favorite sandwich shop in Long Beach. It doesn’t get any better than this place. I’ve had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and they’re all bangers. I have brought multiple people here and they love it just as much! I just haven’t had their pizza and desserts here yet but i wouldn’t be surprised if that was good too. This place is ALL about the bread. Any sandwich you get, you’re going to be invited to the most delicious holding vessel your mouth has ever experienced. The quality of the meats are really good and the balance between them are spectacular. My favorite sandwich so far is the Track Suit. Warm, savory, cheesy, soft, crunchy deliciousness! And that pickled cherry pepper is EPIC. I want one right now! Can’t wait to come back and try more items.

Do yourself a favor and choose your own adventure here. From sitting inside or outside, it is always cool and nice ambiance; and you can always take it to go, the beach is down the street! They also have a deli shop where you can get cheap booze and cocktails in a can! I have also found new soft drinks that are now my favorite here.

Whatever you do here, you won’t be disappointed, thanks Anna’s Joint 🫶🏻“

“Tuesday chess night was fun. The patio is chill. Tons of local bands play here and they have $4 beers and craft drinks if you want to spend more. You can expect a show and crowd nearly any day of the week. You heard it through the grapevine…“

“Great to meet you Mike! Wonderful food & drinks! We will be back!“

“I only come here during the daily, karaoke nights and, soon, maybe you will too. Shanghai’d Room is a divebar thru and thru. But I can count on one hand how many bars I’ve been to where I felt welcomed on my first night. And this is the ONLY bar I ever made friends.

There’s usually one or two bartenders being very attentive — making sure glasses are full, singers are purchasing drinks, and new faces get a turn on the mic. each of them has their own charismatic charm and seductive appeal. I can’t help but call out MeowMeow as my fav tho because you cant help but get drawn to her personality (plus the music/mic balance is always on point all night). She was there my first night and the energy in the room was electric.

This is the only karaoke bar where you don’t have the pressure of singing in front of the crowd on stage because there isn’t one. If you’ve ever been in a private karaoke room with friends it’s like that but with 20+ people and ur own bar LOL. If ur flyin solo and like to sing with libations in hand: check em out, sing a song, compliment ur fav singers, and soon you’ll be makin plans to comeback and meetup.

Few tips and house rules to emphasize: no food served so you can byof, only one M & one F restroom, only patrons sing so if you don’t drink buy one for someone else (lol), try the WATER OF LIFE, respect every singer and ask them for permission before you grab the second mic, and FTLoveOG don’t pick multiple songs back to back. Even when a group changes singers with duets, singing 4+ songs looks like ur group is hogging the mic. Lets spread the love and elevate the vibes.“

“Fun Karaoke with a cash only bar, great drinks -friendly bartenders.“

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

“Great live music. Cool outdoor area.“

“Would recommend getting food elsewhere like Mike's but I've been coming here since 2014, it's my number one bar to chill and enjoy a couple rounds of billiards. Love the owners and the bartenders, shout out to Cass, Eric, Tess, and Monique. Will continue to be a patron for as long as they stay open.“

“Every time I’ve been at Black bar a very enjoyable experience, it has a wonderful selection of whiskey which I drink. They have wonderful, creative cocktails that I’ve tried and never been disappointed. The pizza is wonderful as well. Please try it. The ladies who run it are very hospitable And will bend over backwards to make your time there something to talk about. Very talented and charismatic bartenders as well.“

“it has been many years since I have been there but it was a great place with their three or four times when I was stationed on the USA USS New Jersey“

“Always a good time at Campus!“

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“

“Hands down, Smog City is the best beer and customer service in Bixby. A great chill spot to hang out. All their beer tenders are amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly. They take care of their customers, the other vendors, and treat everyone like their family. They have a large rotating selection of beer, with year round favs and seasonals.“

“Fun place bartenders are nice, They host Pool league and a Dart league several nights a week dart players are older folks who can be slightly rude but otherwise fun place for any night of the week they have TouchTunes jukebox that has an app you can pick almost any song you can think of it's fun“

“Great options of Pizza and amazing gothic/ horror atmosphere“

“I had a good time Met someone I used to work with And it seem like you had a conversation with everybody in there“

“A diamond in the rough! The very best dive bar in S. Ca. It's just a fun place.“

“Great place , strong drinks , dive bar atmosphere, very clean restrooms, this place had it all and I’m glad I found it .“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

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

“Great little place it's kind of small though wish it had a bigger dance floor, and they need to serve food other than that great bartenders great drinks great prices in the heart of Naples near Belmont shore I like to go here after I go to the beach in the summer. Great jukebox and you can hear people talk in there.“

“Home of the best bartenders in Long Beach!!“

“This is my favorite place! So friendly and drama-free. 🤩 The drinks are amazing, and the staff are the best! Shout out to Rocky and Macy! They even have a pool table with seriously competitive players. 🎱 If you're ever in the area, stop by for a drink (or two!) and a game. 🍻 #PoolHall #Drinks #GoodTimes #Friends #“

“Just went to blondies yesterday! Saturday night around 9:30 pm. It's a nice bar! More standing space than seating. There is outside seating but it was taken up when we arrived there and it didn't seem to free up by the time we left.Age range is millennials, maybe some college students.Music is a bit loud if you are trying to have a conversation, but overall its fun! They got games playing and I think you can have lil birthday gatherings there? There was a small birthday hang out when we were there which was really cute.Overall, good bar, would come back.“

“Been a nice place for many years to sit have a beer, catch a game or sip some wine with a date. My favorite is shooting the breeze or some pool. Serving staff always cordial and with a smile. Pretty decent selection of Taps, bottle and canned beers. Lots of Big Screens to boot“

“(Translated by Google) It was nice, I had never visited one of those places, but it was nice there I met the father of my 2 babies 4 years ago!!!!(Original)Fue lindo, nunca había visitado un lugar de esos, pero fue lindo ahí conocí al papá de mis 2 bebés hace 4 años!!!!“

“Very nice place. Friendly staff and good service.“

“Love this place. It's a "jewel of the nile" dive bar when it comes to Beach Blvd. Gorgeous women and great service go hand in hand at the Green Girl! Mark this location on your map and stop by! I would recommend checking this place out if you like dive bars. I haven't tried any food from here so I can't rate it.

Parking: Big parking lot across the street plus street parking too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking is available“

“Grilled Chicken pesto sammie was yummy....everything was!! Terrific service too...Thx Ryan...good fun!“

“Great service! We had a great time considering it was my first time in a bar in a very long time.“

“Nice place to hang and watch a band. We went Saturday night 11-9-2024 to see the tribute band Live Forever a tribute to Oasis and what a show so good the singer nails it it was like Liam was right there in the flesh. The bartenders are top notch very attentive always making sure you don't have an empty drink. And they know How to pour and me she drinks properly. The owner is a cool guy and old skate boarder he's not that old but he was telling me about the bad it's a family business very cool guy. Its a fun hang all the people in there were nice. The band that night WOW great tribute to Oasis. I hope the GOOD BAR has them back. Go and support this Bar our small business owners need us.“

“the bartenders are amazing always good vibes and great peaple“

“Great food my new favorite place...“

“Nice place to enjoy with friends & family . Too bad it closed down in LB“

“Clean, convenient location, serving cold beer and wine by happy people. Flatscreens on every wall. Smoking patio partially covered, partially uncovered. What more do you need in a local bar?! Thanks Al. You’ve done great! Oh and I love the Karaoke machine! Fun fun fun!“

“Cool place to play pool. I’ve never seen it crowded here and the pool table has always been free when I have come in. The service can be a little rough, bartenders aren’t super efficient so it might take a second for them to acknowledge you and serve you a beer“
