“"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!"“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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.“

“🍺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.“

“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.“

“I swear this place is an absolute must-go! The food is incredible, the atmosphere is clean and stylish, and the service is top-notch. All of our plates came out fresh and full of flavor, and the staff made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing drinks or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I went to Patty's Place for our anniversary. We were thinking it was just your basic steak house. We were wrong. Nothing about Patty's is basic.I was shocked when we walked in. It has just enough elegance to enhance a cozy, and comfortable experience. The service was excellent and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was magnificent. I've never had side dishes be as delicious as the main meal. The potatoes and veggies were out of this world. ~ I can honestly say, " it was the best food I've ever eaten." This restaurant gets a 10 in my book.“

“Service is great.
Bartenders and other staff are chill&welcoming. They also make an effort to create a comfortable, fun environment. Super appreciate Brianna, and other bartenders in the past years, for consistently making newcomers feel welcomed and maintain vigilance.
Drinks left behind are taken care of efficiently.
They keep a clean, uncluttered bar.

Been going here for a few years. First hangout spot I checked out when I moved here. Definitely a good vibe wether you go on weekday or weekend.“

“Bartender on Sundays is chill“

“Cole was our server, and we had a couple more people tag along front house was happy to combine a table for the extra guests.

Cole was attentive, and happy to help and give us recommendations. Great service, and delicious food. Well executed dinner experience for a larger group.“

“We gave Viahe a try. It's service is fantastic. The vibe is there. The food is almost there. It's just lacking some flavors, some quality some care, just slightly.
We had a great time, the food was good it just wasnt wow. And for these prices I want wow. Probably won't be back. But you should try it.“

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

“Best bartenders! Tiki vibes, great happy hours with well drinks @ $5.50, domestic beer $5.00 & imports $6.00 M-F 12-6pm! Pool tables, TouchTunes & outdoor patio!“

“Good times, good drinks, a fun group of people that make it a party!“

“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 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“

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

“I come here in the early morning to just hangout and the bartender Mike is really nice. This is a great place to shoot pool I love their back patio but the only issue I have is that it closes at 9 and the signs say you can't have drinks outside. I'm not sure why they do this but the patio is really comfy they have lounge chairs and high tables. Its such a nice environment. Other than that I really like the vibe of this bar. All the bartenders I met here so far are nice too. Kevin is kind as well. I will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“A very unique menu of drinks I wouldn’t see often. If you are someone who is willing to push your own boundaries of flavor and music profile- this is the place for you. The live music was fantastic- if I was a local I would be here more often. The band was great and the drinks made the place even better. Clean bathrooms, good priced highball drinks, good food.“

“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.“

“Professional, fun staff great at connecting with guests and offering them a superior experience whether you’re coming in for a cocktail or having a meal. High quality cocktails and cuisine. As Best part - it’s three concepts in one! Check this place out. You’ll love it.“

“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“

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

“Love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly people.“

“Last min and just in time for last call both times. Margarita rocks then a shot of Patron to end the night right.. If i had more time i would like to try out their pool table or pinball. Cozy local corner bar. Not too busy for a Sat night. I know just who I'm brining NEXT TIME... ?“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Today was the first time for me to go because Im learning how to play pooltable and they have one it was great time and the atmosphere is great people are very nice and I played with so many people with different strategy . I love it . The karaoke 🎤 was amazing with the talented people 😍 I really love it , and I can't wait to go back again.“

“Always a good time at Roxanne’s!!“

“We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding day at Olive & Rose, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As longtime fans of their food, we already knew that we and our guests were going to enjoy an amazing meal, but they went far beyond our expectations in every other aspect of our special day.

One of the highlights was their bartender, who went above and beyond to create personalized cocktails inspired by our love story. It was such a thoughtful and unique touch that made our wedding feel even more personal and special.

Throughout the entire evening, every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, attentive, and on the ball. They worked incredibly hard to keep the food and drinks flowing while making sure our guests were taken care of.

We were able to relax, dance the night away, enjoy incredible food, and truly soak in the moment. We left at the end of the night completely satisfied and with memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Thank you to the entire Olive & Rose team for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!“

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

“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends“

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

“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!!!“

“Rare I give 5 stars in all sections but well deserved. Panama joes next door was over crowded so I tried this spot. It was a World Cup game. Service was kind all the way through and they followed up. The chefs really care about the food. Presentation and taste was on point. Had the salmon and a taco. Atmosphere in the outside space was immaculate. Will definitely come back.“

“Amazing fior, great service, can't say enough positive stuff about this place!“

“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!“

“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!!“
