    The Best Burger in Town!  Great burger!
    Brett M.

    Pass by this location all the time. Had to check to see if it's in fact "The Best Burger in Town! Very simple, great tasting burger and bun, good potato salad and a pickle! Perfect for a Tavern burger!

    Bar area

    49rs Tavern is hands-down one of the best dive bars in Long Beach. It has that classic, laid-back neighborhood vibe, but with a full menu and easily the best burgers in the city. The pool tables are well maintained, the crowd is always fun, and the happy hours and food specials running all week make it an unbeatable spot whether you're stopping in after work or settling in for the night. I also hosted a holiday party here, and it was an amazing experience. The owner, Liz, went above and beyond helping with catering, decorations, and overall event planning, all at a very reasonable price, which made everything stress-free. There's a full-size shuffleboard table (free to play), $1 pool games, and plenty of space to keep a group entertained. If you're looking for a great place to host an event or just want an awesome neighborhood bar with great food and vibes, 49rs Tavern is hard to beat.

    Came into the bar with a friend and Cal State Long Beach alum who recalls coming here many times while in school. The bar looks very nice with some fancy graphite bar counter and a couple of pool tables. Would love to come in and try the food but that will be for another day! I did notice that we had tried to call 2-3 times to see if it was open and decided to come and see physically; of course they were but they were not busy yet they never answered the phone?

    Parking lot it a little tight. Better to uber and not have to worry about dui

    Cool dive bar. Watched games here when I visit my cousin. Staff is super chill Typically I watch football and baseball bit I've seen soccer and other events posted.

    Never been to the 49er and not been satisfied. Cold beers, great personalities behind the bar, and a late night menu that delivers. Come into to see a constant classic on the tv. Good old Baywatch. The 49er has transformed into a lowkey late night hotspot in eastern Long Beach. Kelsey and Baylee are both powerhouses behind the bar!

    Try the burger, do yourself the favor. Get a couple beers, you won't regret the good times here. Service is great, Shelly is awesome!

    Specials

    Amazing food, staff and atmosphere! They have tons of beer options for the ladies including champagne by the split and full bottle.

This place has no staffing since budget cuts are in place. It is only staffed on Sat because of major sporting events. The good thing about a BWW.. Cheap drinks supersedes the bad service. They are cheap! You can get a draft beer for $4 all night! Usually at this location, the bartender acts as a waitress or waiter. We had a cool dude by the name of Forrest that served us. He is friendly and outgoing going. He needs a raise for his positivity! The place can raise the bar when they feel like it. They just need up their staffing in peak times. I usually go here before watching a movie next door. Happy Hour is the best time to go. Plenty of parking. This place is not ghetto!

Clean bathroom, gender & family friendly, changing table, essential oils, hands-free flush. Lots of memorabilia showing women in all sports. Food: Ordered a BIGYAY drink by Leisha Hailey & Kate Moenig from the original series "The L Word". And a BLT. Sandwich delicious! Crispy bacon, nervous about lettuce but I trust God lol. Diversity score 1-5: 1.5 Need pics of women's Negro Baseball team and other Black women athletes. Excluding the efforts, successes, and accomplishments of Black Women in sports negates all effort to be diverse. Environment: nice, chill, great sports bar vibe! Needs more marketing to really bring in the women as the place is a bit male heavy (although not suggesting to exclude them) but if it's owned by women, meant for lgbtq+ women, they need to do more leg work to draw in that population, especially Black women, especially the Black lgbtq+ diaspora of women, femmes, masc etc. Unless it's intentionally not meant for us. In that case, keep doing what you're doing. Message me for consultating if you'd like to tap into that market. Go again score 1-5: 2.75 When I walk into a space I want to see me reflected in the space and staffing. With those updates I'd definitely come again...especially during a beautiful day with major sports events happening. Just hope to see some of my people there! There is no culture or inclusivity w/o Black People!
