    I've been here plenty of times for beer and pizza but haven't been in for coffee yet. If you walk through all the way to the back they have a coffee shop if ykyk. Decided to give it a try today after a walk and it was They have traditional drinks as well as seasonal long beach inspired drinks which I recommend you try if you have the opportunity to do so. I ordered a seasonal drink I forgot the name I'm sorry but it was earl grey tea with cream and something else very refreshing. I also ordered the pistachio croissant, Altar Society breakfast burrito and a couple pup cups for my boys. Burrito 10/10 definitely would be back to try their other burritos and they are decently sized as well. The vibe is cool I've been before but if you haven't it's an old masonic temple I believe. Original wood flooring, kept a lot of the old character of the building which I personally appreciate with every other business making everything new and flashy. Service was friendly could have been a little quicker but not terrible. Would I be back.. Yes, and not just for beer and pizza I'll come back to the coffee shop, nice and peaceful mornings, quiet, good food and drinks and the pups enjoyed their items as well.

    We came early in morning had there breakfast burrito it was tasty a nice size. Also had their vanilla lattes with house vanilla syrup and brown sugar. It was smooth. Service was great barista/ bartender was sweet and efficient. The environment was relaxing. We came back to try out their brewery. The bartenders were great! We love that you can see them brewing. We even tried out their pizza slice amazing flavor. A must try place.

    I was walking in downtown Long Beach and stumbled across this coffee bar. It was the afternoon so it was pretty quiet and not much of a wait. The barista was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered 2 vanilla lattes with whole milk and half sweet. It was quality all the way around and something I really enjoyed. This is a great spot if you are in the area.

    I parked at the lot on 3rd and Pine, so this location was a bit hidden while crossing the street. That entrance is for the coffee shop, but if you enter across from Marathon Burger, that's directly into the brewery. The service was great and the interior was kind of dead in a peaceful way. No one loud or obnoxious. I ordered a slice of pepperoni & sausage, Pine Ave IPA, and the small 8 piece wings with Lemon Pepper and Thai Chili sauce on the side. Everything was delicious and the wings were large & crispy. I would definitely return and hit the coffee shop also.

    Ambiance: this brewery is located in an interesting repurposed building, high ceiling and spacious inside, they serve coffee during the day and beer at night Service: you place the order and grab the drink at the bar, and then servers will bring the food to your table, mostly self served place for water and seating Food & Drink: classic bar restaurant food with variety choice of draft beers ALTAR SAUSAGE Pizza - *** red sauce base, shredded mozzarella, spicy Italian sausage, jalapeno, mushroom, parmesan cheese, spicy and tasted old Fuzzy Lighthouse - **** New England Hazy IPA, bold taste, recommend Price: decent quality and affordable prices, expect $20 per person for a quick bite

    Made a last minute pivot to Altar as the original place that we wanted to go to was packed with an approx 1 hour wait. Family in the area recommended that I pay a visit. Service: Came in around 9pm with a party of 5. Place is self seating and we were fortunate to find a spot just in front of the taps. Advised staff that we were first time visitors and requested recommendation. Staff member assisting was helpful and pleasant. Our drinks came out approximately 2-3 minutes while our food took around 5 minutes. Very fast turnaround. 5 of 5 stars. Food/Offering: Our group got the Tropical Golden and POG seltzers. Didn't really deviate from my drink as we were kinda pressed for time. The Tropical Golden is a very light, tropical tasting ale. I enjoyed this pour a lot (had 3). I'm not surprised if this is one of their top 3 beers on tap. The POG, according to the fam, it's just like your normal seltzer however the tropical flavors do stand out versus your usual commercial stuff. We also sliders and pretzel bites to share. Bites were very good. Also, I purchased a 4 pack of Tropical Golden to go =) 5 of 5 stars. Overall: As a first time visitor, I enjoyed my experience and highly recommend. Look forward to the next visit when in the area.

    I actually came here to work on a Tuesday night and it was perfect! It's a huge brewery, so you can head to a corner where you're more secluded from the crowds. There's a large variety of good beers, yummy bar foods, and a game on the TVs. There is free, fast wifi, and a coffee shop open in the mornings. This just might be the most underrated spot for all times of day in Long Beach.

    They have WiFi at the cafe

    Came here yesterday with a friend to do some work in the back at the cafe, but it was closed. The waiter was great though, she grabbed me one of the herbal teas from the cafe and we grabbed a couple slices for lunch. My friend and I worked here for several hours on a Friday afternoon. They waiter was awesome and checked in with us throughout our time, filling our waters, removing things from the table and letting us work away for a few hours. They also have WiFi if needed. I've been here many times before to watch a game, even to do yoga upstairs a couple times. Each time I appreciate how versatile this space is. It's really a gem and the service is always appreciated.

    This review is for the venue upstairs. I have had a couple of slices of pizza at Altar Society Brewing which were good, but I have frequented the beautiful venue many times for events, mostly by Secret Service LBC. It was originally a Masonic temple built in 1903 with a really high wooden ceiling, which has been well preserved with ornate paintings. At the end of the building, there's a cool geometric wood design that serves as a focal point, especially when the disco ball in the center of it reflects light throughout the room. Multiple chandeliers are hung throughout and the walls are lined with brick. There is even a third level with a smaller room, restrooms and a bar. The third level also has a lovely bridal suite that remains locked for privacy. The bartenders have all been awesome, especially Casey, who took good care of my friends and I who performed on Halloween. I love this venue and will continue to go as long as there are events here! It would be a great place for a wedding too. Street parking is available in the area as well as a structure on 3rd between Pine and LB Blvd that is free for the first 2 hours.

    A wedding in a semi goth vibe was striking here ...
    Mark B.

    Went here for a wedding reception. It's a decent reception space - open floors and no obvious hazards. Parking is in a nearby structure and wasn't bad by long beach standards. Everything plumbing wise was clean and worked. Same with elevator. People associated with venue seemed nice and helpful. The food was good, but not sure how much of that was on them. (If you've been around a while you might remember this space as an eclectic furniture place back in the day.)

    Chicken Zingers
    Karen L.

    The inside vibe is super cool! We really liked the Pine st IPA. Also, the food is really good. We had the Chicken Zingers and the Alter single sliders -- upgraded to tots. The Zingers are def made in house and were delicious! The sliders were also very good and do yourself a favor and get those tots! The only reason it's not a 5 is because the guy behind the bar (slick back blonde hair and mustache (sort of)) was an ass. He acted like he was doing us a favor to even get us a beer. The other guy, who might be the manager or owner who was running food, was awesome and made up for it. But seriously need to get rid of the other guy because he sucks!!!

    My friend and I wanted some pizza and went to another restaurant but it was full. We walked further along the blvd and saw this restaurant and tried it out. We found parking a few blocks away and it was not a far walk. Once we got in, we sat and I walked to the bar to order. It is a seat yourself environment. We decided to go with the veggie pizza but did not notice the pesto drizzle on the menu. When we received the pizza it was super hot and the bread was a little stiff, cant find the right word but it wasn't hard. The pizza lacked cheese and had more veggie and pesto drizzle then anything. We decided to add a salad just for some greenery with the bread. I ordered an IPA which was not bad but the other options were OK. We visited between 5p-6p , it was quiet with some families in the place. Pretty chill

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!

However, it didnt start off too great, which makes me hesitant to return, especially seeing the low star rating now. The host working around this time, was very rude, & has very poor customer service skills. We walked up, she didnt acknowledge us for abut 1-2 minutes, she kept doing whatever she was doing with the menus, tapping her screen, checked her cell phone twice, THEN looked up at us & says "how many".. ok. So we sit outside, were taken to our table by JEN, who was a lovely soul, after receiving standoffish treatment from the host. ( btw host has long pink acrylics with flowers and curly hair) So we get to our table, we are assigned Isabell as our server, but we moved tables so someone else became out server. fine. She comes by and drops off coasters, then says she will be back to take our order...? whyyy not get our drinks In now? We had already been there about 10 minutes. Then 20 minutes g by, she never came back to get our order in. I had to ask a bus boy to grab a server for us, we was very sweet and helpful, he's the only one who desired a tip that night from me. She comes to our table, doesn't apologize, just starts with what are wee getting. I said well first we would like som water , then she walks away!! I was over it at this point and haven't even placed the food order yet. She comes back 10 min later with water, so I said we're ready to order. We put the entire order in and asked for the check after the food was delivered, because I was done waiting on her. She didn't check on us not once. I work in the service industry in management, & I would hope my servers never treated our guests this way, so unwelcoming. Might return, but honestly, not in a rush, & would not want her as my server. Do better

This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love.
