This restroom lady let about 11 or 12 women in the Men's restroom. When I asked her why? She told the security to kick me out. We were waiting over half an hour for all of them to use it. I bounced to another spot on my own to use the restroom and enjoy my night. Please be careful coming here. If you complain about the smallest thing you will be kicked out. Sad that this place hires people like this. I hope this review helps future guest and management. read more

Got denied entry because I had my service dog. I have a fully trained service dog due to my disability and I was told I was not allowed entry. This is a violation of the ADA. I will be reporting. Staff was disrespectful and I knowledgeable about laws. read more

I came here to celebrate my cousin's college graduation. We came here on a Friday night around 8:30 pm and were seated at a table. At 10:00 they kicked us out because it turns into a nightclub and never told us! We were still eating and drinking and spent a lot of money. They did not let us stay nor did they ever warn us that we would have to leave by 10 even though the place is open until 2:00 am! The manager was unsympathetic and uncaring. That's horrible customer service. I would never go back and you should never give these people your business! read more

Alex with the ponytail is the best bartender !!! Must come . He is very kind and take care of everyone

Alex (bartender with the ponytail) makes amazing drinks I always give to him when I come to the club, if you want great drinks go to him 10/10 read more

A complete scam. They charge you 25+ dollars for nothing. They are advertised as an 18+ night but do not allow 18+ to go on the dance floor and are instead forced to stand by the bar for the entirety of the night. They will take your money. Don't give them your money and don't give them your time. Nothing more than a scam to make as much money as possible. Super shady and the bouncers were incredibly mean despite the fact that we had done nothing wrong. I wish I could give them zero stars. read more

Another wonderful meal at Allegria...The Solomillo steaks were cooked perfectly and my Whiskey Salmon was among the best I've had!...Also appreciated the nice flamenco music in the background...And you are lucky if you get Alfonso as your waiter...Top notch service!...Getting ready to take 2 more friends... Allegria will not let you down! read more

The service wasn't terrible. We were in a big group and when the bill came. The server split it 3 ways. But didn't ask us what we wanted on each bill. Our table had extra items on our bill from another table. Our table had an extra half craft of sangria on our bill that we never ordered or accepted... We tried to dispute the extra items and She said "Well, I brought out the extra wine for one of your tables." And we told her that we didnt have the 4th craft replaced she said "Well, I can't determine who drank it." My issue is that she had no issue splitting the bill three ways. But couldn't keep up with who ordered what and how to properly give the right items to the right table. And when it was brought to her attention, she deflected. The Brunch food was pretty good. But I probably wouldn't do brunch here in a large setting again. read more

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE! PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PLACE! My friends and I got WALKED out of an Uber and the "manager" claimed we were all overly drunk because we simply DANCED ALONG to the Dj. I guess we are NOT allowed to dance outside because we will be stereotyped into an "irresponsible and destructive" group. My friends and I were black and clearly being discriminated against. The place was also next to a dump and it smelt terrible anywhere near it. read more

Mediocre greasy food, great service, lousy management. Won't honor gift certificates that they sell online. Also the bathrooms don't have SOAP!!! FOOD SAFTEY ISSUE!!! Does the staff not wash their hands after using the bathroom? Wouldn't be surprised if I had food poisoning tomorrow... read more

This place sucks. The bouncer was a an ass having vip girls cut in the bathroom line, and the old lady that works near the restrooms was in on the bull too. The place looks alot bigger on social media, and nicer , its super small. it was way packed and if you werent in the vip sections you were getting pushed in every direction, also my friend had her phone stolen. Never again! read more

Amazing experience from start to finish. Upon our arrival we were greeted by William the hostess. He was very polite and asked us where we wanted to sit. He advised that we could sit anywhere that we wanted. Once finding our table my boyfriend and I were provided with menus and Sunday brunch specials. We asked William what the most popular dishes were, any vegetarian plates and what do most people like to eat at Alegria. He was awesome by answering all of our questions and made our experience a very pleasant one. With a Yelp check in you are able to try one of the appetizers under $10. So make sure to check in and let your waiter know. I had the Ropa vieja con huevo. This is shredded beef with Plaintain's and an egg on top along with black beans and rice with a small side of cucumber salad. This traditional Cuban dish with a twist of the egg was delicious. Highly recommend! My boyfriend had the Spanish dish of the Paella championes. The portion on this dish is big. You could share this plate between two people. It is a vegetarian dish. For desert we tried the Flan con Fresas, which is flan with strawberries. I would definitely come back to Alegria due to the exceptional service we were provide by our hostess and waiter William. read more

A vibrant lunch at a vibrant restaurant located on vibrant Pine Street of downtown Long Beach. On top of that it was also a beautiful SoCal summer day. So how could it be better? I was taken there for my B-Day! I had the Ropa vieja, luscious tender beef with rice and beans with fried plantains served with a side of salad. Next time? I'll try the Paella read more

Purchased the brunch with unlimited mimosas and sangria for two for $25 on Livingsocial which is a great deal and here's my feedback on my experience: Pro's - nice ambience inside and also has patio seating with heat lamps - our waiter was friendly, checked up on us every few minutes, made sure our sangrias were always filled, and also made some entree suggestions from the brunch menu - sangrias were good Con's - staff wasn't really clear to us on which table to sit at. When I asked to sit at a certain table I was told yes, then a few minutes later we were told to move to a different table due to a reservation. - they don't validate for garage parking, only valet parking Food: ordered the lomo Saltado, which is totally different from the lomo Saltado I usually have at Peruvian restaurants ...this one didn't have french fries and it was more saucy...but it was still good My overall experience was just ok ...The food wasn't as great as I hoped it would be. Would I come back again, probably not...but for the brunch deal I got, it was worth the try. read more

We used to love coming here for years, but this time was disappointing. When we arrived on Sunday, the loud club music ruined the experience. The restaurant no longer feels like a family-friendly place; it's turned into a loud club. It's a shame because even the restaurant next door is being affected by the obnoxious music. read more

Gotta love Yelp! Lunch crew couldn't decide where to go but Yelp came to the rescue and brought us to Alegria. Parking wasn't a big issue as there was a pay lot directly across the street OR a short walk to available street parking or in the nearby structures. Service was pretty good. Drinks were refilled and empty plates cleared. Food: I ordered the Alegria Pasta and initially, it was a little bland which surprised me considering all the visible ingredients in the dish. Added a little salt and it brought the flavors out - to the point I basically licked the plate clean. Note for both food and service: Our server came out with a quesadilla for me on the house because the kitchen made a mistake with my pasta dish. They didn't really have to because my dish came out about five minutes later but it was all good - shared my extra dish with the table. Our crew discussed coming back for their last Friday of the month buffet which is less than $15 per person. read more

I love Alegría but they need to keep on eye their restrooms , need to keep them clean !

We used the Groupon deal to check this place out on a whim. I thought a bit of Spanish dancing would rekindle my fond memories of traveling through Spain. But my dream was short lived when I saw the bill I Would have given this 1 star but the manager saw sense and discounted us somewhat. Tickets for the "show" was $40 each, which included a 3 course meal. Drinks were extra (we knew this prior). The meal was below par, I didn't expect much of course considering it was a deal, but i was actually pretty horrified and couldn't even eat more than bites -I'm British and military, the fact that I had a hard time eating it should tell you something, (we aren't exactly famed for our cuisine) If you are doing the Groupon deal, be VERY cautious and expect to pay a hell of a lot more than you expected read more

Delicioso! And the best part was not paying! Tom and I came here with some work friends (with an expense account) and had a great experience. The nice thing about coming here with a group is getting to try all the different appetizers - Calamares Al Fuego, Empanadas De Pollo, and much more! They were all good but my favorite was the Pa Amb Tomate Al Horno which was a bruschetta style bread with tomatoes and tasty roasted corn. I had the Madrid Style Caesar Salad which was a really good Caesar salad with spicy marinated tomatoes. For my entree, Paella Del Oceano, with mussels, fish, clams and calamari. But after all those appetizers and the salad, the Paella was going home to the fridge! I definitely want to come back for happy hour or for the $14.00 lunch buffet, and also get me some Sangria. read more

We were at this location 8/6/2022, we took 4 guys and girl and we're spending at least $300 on food and drinks. The waiters were harassing us to leave after we closed out the tab, we're still planning to continue drinking, but the security guy told us to leave. I will never come back to this place. They charge $20 bucks to come in the restaurant, is not club guys, it's a restaurant. The people pay, it's totally not okay to have cover charge for restaurant joint. I never pay to eat and Dance at Sharky's. Thanks but no thanks, the food was good but they lack customer service. They treat their patrons like crap. Not very welcoming. read more

We didn't eat here just came for the night club scene. Good music and vibe, we had a good time.

Don't come here at night, your phone will get stolen right out of your back pocket. Based on the reviews here, you would think the bar would do something about it at this point lmao. read more

Second time here and I was probably drunk the first time, to return. Drinks were good at a reasonable club price along with appetizers but the kicker is... we noticed on our receipt for the same exact 3 drinks (crown and coke) our bill was $10 more. So apparently their drinks go up by $3 after 10pm for their "DJ" according to the bartender who said so. HA! Not to mention the drink are watered down after 11pm. Just sayin... I won't be returning. read more

Sangria Happy Hour! They have some pretty spicy happy hour dishes also. I came on a weekday and it was empty :/ I assume the weekend is more crowded? Service was okay. Food was okay, nothing too special. If I had to chose a happy hour place to go to in the area (dtlbc), this would not be the place. read more

Was good food,drinks and a show. They did a wonderful job. Made me want to learn Flamenco dancer. Very entertaining.

I was there for NYE. Food was ok.. music was good.. definitely a younger crown. standing room only. restroom- they one have one restroom. Always a long line to use. And very dirty, no toilet paper or paper towels.. I told the guy at the bar and he said they would take care of it.. after about an hour I used it again and still no toilet paper or paper towels! I let them know again, All they said was ok.. they didn't seem care.. We left and went across the street to Sevilla's! Much better place with clean restrooms and more stalls! read more

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend. Make sure you get the free appetizer with Yelp check in!! William provided awesome customer service for us, he even gave us some Calamari to try. The sangria was simply amazing. Definitely worth the price, Best sangria I've ever had- I need some at home! Coming back for Returned as promised!! Luis and Steve were awesome. They let me try the white sangria, I had no idea that was a thing but it's delicious!! Happy hour- $5 drinks and cheap appetizers!! So yummy!!!!! read more

The food was amazing! If I was to dock a star, it would be for service which was SLOW. We sat on the patio, started with two watermelon margaritas!Moved onto a shredded beef appetizer, a shrimp "tamale"appetizer, their nachos and fajitas . Everything was yummy and we got a feee app while checking in at yelp. read more

*****this rating is for the night life only***** This is one of the smallest and most crowded bar I've ever been to. I came to celebrate my friend's birthday. When I first walked in I was pretty surprised at how small it is. As the night proceeded it got super duper crowded and hot in there. I'm not even sure if they had the AC on. They should definitely limit the amount of people that come in during the night. You cannot dance without bumping into someone. Also, the bathroom line is ridiculous. My friend was gone for about 40 min trying to make line for the bathroom. The bar itself also feels kind of dirty. As for the drinks, I liked my margarita but was shocked they did not have Jack Daniels. However, I did enjoy the music and the DJ. I just wish the televisions playing music videos actually matched the music the DJ was playing. Overall, this bar is a big no for me, at least for the nighttime. I will not be coming back here ever. I do not recommend this bar especially if you are coming with a big party of people. read more

Fantastic place for lunch, dinner, or just about anytime. Great service with some awesome Latin American flavor. Sangrias are the bomb and the recipe is a very guarded secret of the bartender. An absolute must try in downtown Long Beach read more

So disappointed with this place, first I couldn't keep an open tab, then just when we where enjoying ourselves, the lights come on at 11:45 and they say their closing at 12 when we looked it up on Yelp before we went & it said open into 2am! Reason why we went!!!!! The crowed was good looked busy but I guess not enough to stay open the bartender said never going there again on a Thursday or a day between Mon-thur cause they'll close if it's not busy they said before 2am so their advertisement is a lie!!!! read more

A good time, BUT, if you come on a Saturday night and stay till closing, you'll be herded like a cow toward one single exit. It's almost like going through TSA. read more

January 13, 2018 Getting off work, meeting my friends and siblings up to celebrate my brothers wifes birthday. Went to a bar before coming to this one. about to enter, then they hit you with a 15 dollar cover charge. You walk in there is no space to even walk, my brother and his group leave within 10 min. Our group were 10 or so. 15 bucks a head, do the math. I decided since i drove to LB from montebello, to stay with my sister and her boyfriend, we wait for service at the bar for 15 minutes before one of the 30 bartenders (sarcasm) tends to a guy who walks up next to us first. Super annoying already, all we wanted was three beers. This guy has a pair to point to the door signaling that we just leave. Come on man, you pouring a beer not writing a sonnet, horrible service. After that, the dj kept talking trying to get women to go up on stage and dance. I mean i get it trying ro start the party but after 5 or so minutes just stop and put the music we all paid 15 bucks to hear. Will never return here again. read more

What a DUMP of a nightclub!!!! We were charged $10 for the cover yet we were exposed to one of the HOTTEST club experiences I've ever encountered. They had a few A/C units & fans yet they were ALL OFF!!!! The floors were so Sticky my heels kept on getting stuck on the floor. The floor was full of trash & don't get me started on the restroom!!!!! Shame on the owner's who wanted to cause heat stroke to their patrons. #NEVERAGAIN!!!! read more
