Oh did they turn things around! Jack, Ryan (making the drinks and providing recommendations, the whole crew was amazing and assisting everyone). Very seldomly do you have a business owner care about their brand, open to constructive feedback with the willingness to implement change that leads to a positive outcome. Angel's Share will be introducing a soft launch of new appetizers and I believe drinks! Not too busy of a night until deep into the evening where the crowd picked up and dishes were flowing out the kitchen. Cajun shrimp was extremely flavorful with the spinach in the middle. I suggest adding a hint more of garlic to wake up the spinach melody. Keep in mind we had no clue that the spinach was to added on top of the Shrimp similar to a one biter. Either way... it was Fire! The garlic bread was pretty good. Needed a pinch more of garlic salt and a minute longer in the salamander oven! The Cajun pasta needed a hint more of Cajun seasoning. If it's in the cards you could even elevate the dish by adding 1 Cajun shrimp on the top or spoon full of crawfish tossed in Cajun seasonings and butter! Also wake up your base with heavy cream to make the sauce dance on all the noodles. Now keep in mind there's a lot of of us who think that we're top chefs or we all like things a certain way but what I do know is that the pasta once it gets perfected I know for sure it will be a hit. I'll be back for the soft launch of the new menu and appetizers. Again, thank you for extending the invite Jack. read more

Angel's Share - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Great local hang. Like the old school whiskey bar feel. Whisky sampler is fun, also the vodka tonic and Pino Noir very good. Bartenders are super friendly and good poor. Table service w smash burgers, wings, and avacado toast is yummy. Like to sit in leather chairs in front window peeking out open windows. Lots of outside tables. Local hang. Panama joes next door is just too crazy and this is much quieter and has all the Big TVs w sports but not crazy loud. Great happy hour. Regular hang go-to bar for us. read more

Definitely one the BEST Happy Hours on 2nd Street! Food, drink, and service. Heavenly Burger (Smash Burger) for $5.55! Bites are amazing! Brussel Sprouts, Fries and Tater Tots. House Margarita for $9. Old Fashions for $12. Truly great deals and high quality! We loved our drinks. Margaritas were perfect and you can tell not made from an acidic mix! House made! Old Fashions made just right! Our Bartender/Server was Ryan. So friendly and helpful. Our friend wanted a seasonal drink they offered last Spring and he did his best to reprise it! We love their comfy booths and atmosphere! Every visit has been a great experience. We went a few times when they were serving Tomahawk Steaks! Some of the best ones we have had! We will be back! read more

An overlooked restaurant/ bar off 2nd street. If you enjoy whisky, Angel's Share has plenty of whisky cocktails, flights & straight whisky to sit and enjoy. Their Heavenly burger is a good quality burger that surpasses many bar like burgers. Simply because it's made with fresh ingredients and not greasy at all. Staff are friendly and provide excellent service! read more

Decent whiskey bar with okay food. We went for Happy Hour which is from 3-6 pm daily. I had the $6 whiskey shots, which were decent. We tried the Goat Cheese Balls and Onion rings. Our bartender Rachel was friendly and helpful. Decor is simple but decent with comfortable seats. They offer a decent membership program with 2 free tastings every month and 1 bottle of whiskey. I am thinking of joining. Overall it's a decent bar with a new concept and a worthwhile addition to 2nd St. read more

Angel's Share - The best whiskey. - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Wow, I definitely thought I left my review for Angel's Share and JUST realized I didn't. I visited in December when they had all the cute holiday decor. My friend and I actually stopped here after a pretty Long Beach walk/walk in the area and conveniently arrived during happy hour. The waiter was incredibly kind (sad I forgot her name!) and attentive, and of course during this time of year, the lights and decorations were super inviting and fun. We enjoyed a couple of their seasonal cocktails based on the waiter's recommendations and enjoyed both. The food was decent. We did not like the Mac and cheese, but the burger, while simple, was great! Visiting was outside of our plans that day, but we were happy spontaneity lead us there. read more

TL;DR: We were overcharged by a lot. Make sure you get an itemized bill and don't trust the total that the credit card machine shows you. After my first attempt to visit Angel's Share went poorly, management reached out and invited me to give them another try. I appreciate when restaurants take constructive feedback seriously so I got a group of friends together and went back on a weekday afternoon to check out their special holiday decor/menu. We arrived at 3 pm and the restaurant wasn't opened. We ended up waiting 30 minutes past opening time before the restaurant finally opened. The bartender/server (there was only one scheduled) explained there had been a personal issue which caused the delay. Things happen, no worries, we sat down and were excited to order. They have a small space and most of the seating is curved booths or bar seating, so they aren't really equipped to handle groups. Our group of six just about fit in one of the curved booths very cozily. I wouldn't recommend trying to visit with a larger group. The place filled up pretty quickly and it was obvious they were understaffed. It took a long time for the one bartender, who was also the only server, to get around to all of the tables to take orders and even longer to make drinks. This wasn't her fault, management should have hired more staff, especially while they were in the middle of the busy holiday season. The kitchen also appeared to be staffed by one person who was both cooking and bringing out the finished dishes. Our drinks, when we got them, were good. They have those big square ice cubes and even stamp them with their logo, which was a fun touch. Some of our food orders came out wrong the first time, and the kitchen person argued with us a little at first when we mentioned it, then later came back with the corrected items and acquiesced that we had been right about the orders. Even with the late opening, slow service, and wrong food I'd have given this visit a generous four stars, but multiple people in my party were overcharged, so I've dropped it down to two stars. Happy hour items weren't rung up at happy hour prices, and because we were a group of six (although we had separate bills) a gratuity was automatically added to each bill. The gratuity would have been fine if anyone had told us. However, since Angel's Share uses those electronic payment machines, we only saw our total, we never received an itemized bill so four of the six of us paid the wrong price for HH items PLUS tipped on top of a bill that already included gratuity. I an one other person stuck around after most of the party left and so were the last people to check out. When it came my turn to pay, the total seemed high so I asked out server and that's when she realized the HH price mix-up and told us that gratuity was included in the total. She fixed the issue for our two bills, but did not offer to do anything for the people who had already paid and left. After two disappointing experiences, I won't be back. read more

Lynn and Laurel would not stop talking about Angel's Share, and the FOMO was real!!! So I grabbed my boyfriend and rushed over to check out their Christmas theme and cocktails. We had a reservation but arrived a little early and asked the hostess if we could just sit at the bar instead. She said no problem at all. We came in around 6:30pm, which might be an odd sweet-spot time, because we were able to snag a couple of bar seats right away! The entire place is fully decked out for the holidays, super cozy, festive, and so cute. They're currently running a special holiday cocktail menu, so we ordered from that. Rachel was behind the bar and took great care of us despite how busy it was. I started with a Classic Old Fashioned and followed it up with a Smoked Old Fashioned both great choices. My boyfriend also ordered the Old Fashioned and Making Christmas, and I have to say, his drink was actually really good! Angel's Share is small and gets very busy, so I highly recommend making a reservation. If you're planning to eat here, just know the food menu is limited and food can take a while. We had already eaten and came mainly for drinks, but my boyfriend ordered onion rings to snack on. I tried them, but they were falling apart and not really my thing. For me, Angel's Share is perfect for a festive, post-dinner cocktail or a quick drink with friends but not necessarily a spot I'd choose to dine at. Great atmosphere, fun seasonal cocktails, and definitely worth a visit during the holidays. read more

I revisited Angel's Share during the Christmas pop-up, and the vibes inside were super cute and festive! The cocktail napkins were themed, and the holiday drinks had cute Christmas tree and gingerbread man toothpicks to tie everything together. The server who took care of my group gave good drink recommendations and checked in on us regularly to refill our water cups, which was nice. As for the food, one of the highlights were the brussels sprouts, which were perfectly crispy and balsamic glazed up. I ordered the patty melt sandwich, which initially arrived at my table without the caramelized onions advertised on the menu. I just let my server know and she took it back to the kitchen to add the caramelized onion. It tasted MUCH better with the caramelized onions included. My friend ordered the heavenly burger for $5.55 during happy hour, which is a great deal. She enjoyed the burger, however upon picking it up, the bottom burger bun split in half, which was inconvenient to eat. Overall the food was tasty, just some minor hiccups listed above. Our group enjoyed our experience at Angel's Share. read more

This place is very cute and definitely worth trying. We came on a Saturday afternoon, not very busy. The staff were all very welcoming and attentive. They greeted us and sat us down immediately. I think our servers name was Billy and he was great. We only ate appetizers but what we ate was delicious. The cauliflower was cooked very well. The Goat cheese balls were very good, and paired perfectly with the apple and honey that came with it. Fries were also great. We got wings which were alright but honestly my least favorite of the night. The drinks here are a very good, a lot of whiskey of course but they have other speciality drinks that are vodka, gin, tequila based. Drinks came out pretty fast and tasted very well made. The restaurant is on the smaller end, but the decorations are cute and pretty. They have a small seating area outside in the front as well. Parking could be difficult, just street parking is available. read more

I came here with family to celebrate our annual Christmas white elephant gift exchange. The food was good. I ordered the house salad with bacon and shared the mussels with my sister. Those mussels with the sourdough bread paired so well and was prepared perfectly. My sister also ordered the snowman cocktail which I took sips from and it was strong but still good. Our server and staff were kind and friendly enough to take our picture. The establishment was decorated with holiday vibes and we sat outside since the booths inside were a little small to accommodate 6 of us. We parked on the street and made reservations so we were seated right away. Come check this place out for a bite to eat and a refreshing beverage. read more

Drinks Only- We were looking for a cocktail bar after lunch, so we decided to grab a drink at Angel's Share. As we entered the bar on a Saturday afternoon, we were offered a coupon for a free cocktail- bonus, although later found out that it was to be used for the next visit, but the bar honored the coupon. The bar has a lengthy bar along one side that you can curl up. Otherwise, there are some seats and table among the other side. Plus, there is seating outside for nice days. We sat at the bar- and all of us felt better seating was needed as the cushions were shot- we all sunk into our seat cushions. The bar is known for their large assortments of Whiskeys. The cocktail menu had some interesting drinks on the list as well. We ordered four different cocktails among us, we were satisfied with our drinks but not overly impressed that we wanted another drink. read more

Angel's Share - Blackberry Mule but minus the blackberry and mint and instead it's raspberry flavored! - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Angel's Share Whiskey Lounge completely surprised me, in the best way. The vibe is lowkey luxe, perfect for a chill date night or a laid-back brunch with friends. I tried the steak & eggs, the chicken piccata, and the roasted cauliflower with whiskey sauce and pistachios, and wow. That cauliflower alone is worth the trip! Their cocktail menu is creative and whiskey-forward (as it should be). Bonus: $5 happy hour is a stea, Whiskey Wednesdays & Thirsty Thursdays.

I'll start by saying we came here for lunch...on a Saturday...party of 10. That said, they were not prepared for us. (I'm thinking most likely they have more staff at night and can better accommodate larger parties.) The server was very nice and upfront about how long our food order would take. (A verrry long time) I appreciated her honesty. So we adjusted our order to get things that wouldn't take long-tater tots, fries and wings. Okay-it is a whiskey place...Sooo maybe ordering a beer wasn't the right thing to do on my part...but they didn't have any if the 3 beers that were on their menu-so I gave up.. Hopefully they are more prepared at night. Side notes: *Located in Belmont Shore-so parking isn't the easiest. *They don't have physical menus-you have the QR code / website for your options. . read more

I'm very confused by the theme for this bar, it looks dark and upscale but the AI food menu looks funko pop and the drink menu is back to the original theme. Then I got a drink in a Collin's glass and my straw wasn't tall enough and kept sinking into the bottom and I had to fish it out. Managers I would also revise the blurry burger happy hour image. read more

Solid restaurant that is an amazing whiskey lovers haven. They also have a good happy hour and friendly very knowledgeable staff.

Impressive selection of whiskeys though they offer other stuff as well. I originally got a take on a gin vesper though was disappointed it was a pre-batched drink. I usually don't complain about drinks but this was too sweet for me and I couldn't taste any alcohol. The bartender was so nice about it and got me a different drink which was so much better. She also tasted the pre-batch mix and agreed it was on the sweet side for some reason. I ended up going with a whiskey cocktail since it was a whiskey bar, way better than the gin drink I tried. read more

On our progressive food-&-drink outing in Long Beach, we stopped into Angel's Share for a cocktail. Our bartender was friendly-&-welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive, creating beautiful drinks for us to enjoy at the bar top. We're always impressed when a bar uses large, clear ice cubes -- and bonus that these were attractively stamped, as well (it's those little details that elevate our experience)! The "Angel's Kiss" ($19) was quite a show, presented in a tall glass dome, which once the dome was lifted, I enjoyed the delightful waft of smoke in the air; however, I wouldn't necessarily order it, again. The bar was brightly-lit mid-afternoon; our thoughts are having the lighting dimmer would be more intimate and add to the whiskey/cocktail bar atmosphere. Glad to have experienced it. read more

Yay! My first review of the year The drinks were drinking and the food was fooding Came here for a celebration feast with two friends of mine The question is, what didn't we have?? The parking does suck, it is street parking in a busy part of town. But, I can't hold it against the place. Just beware if you can't walk far / aren't lucky enough to get an up close spot The menu really surprised me. They had a bit of everything. We ordered a couple things from the brunch menu Crab scramble with caviar Brunch burger Delicious garlic fries Korean smoked pork belly sandwich Fried buratta (sooo good and came with delicious pieces of grilled bread) Whiskey Cheesecake (Drink time now, some drinks were on their holiday menu) Churchills box- came with bubblegum cigars Angels club Angels 75 Little toy soldier Naughty and nice Espresso martini Honestly, everything blew me away. We came at 1 pm on a Sunday and it wasn't crowded at all. With how good the food and drinks are I'm shocked there wasn't a huge line. (I did make a reservation though which was super easy) Our waitress, Erin said it's mostly busy at night and when people are watching the games ( they did have a few TVs going. Even though this place didn't give me a sports bar / place to watch the game vibe) I also liked the chandeliers and the color scheme And let me tell you, the bacon on the brunch burger was some of the best I've ever had I'll 100000000 percent come back. Sign up for emails. I keep getting notifications for their specials of the day (such as happy hour and even karaoke nights) Since my first time eating here I've already came back again and my girlfriend who came with me has already been a repeat customer as well read more

My friend and I went here for happy hour and got there about 15 minutes before it ended. Server asked for our drinks (only) and walked off before we could add in the food for happy hour so our drinks were HH but the food was put in at 6:02 so no happy hour. What the actual heck! I get that she was the only server and had two other tables outside and two inside but this felt deliberate. Especially as she asked the table next to us for drinks only then walked off quickly and another table outside shouted to request another drink order to her before she went inside as she was beelining back in. Not only that but the bathroom was nasty and smelled like pee, it took forever to get wine and a margarita, and the food was mid for me (hamburger) and subpar for my friend (Mac n cheese). We went because the HH deals looked great and we hadn't been before, but after that experience we have no need to ever go back. 6:02. I still can't believe it! read more

Visit for the first time the bar service is horrible. The bartender Rachel forgot her order and then tried to overcharge us and then they charged us a tip as we put zero on it for no knowledge of anything we had to wait over a half hour for two drinks then we did the whiskey tasting. We had to ask for the second and third shot of his whiskey tasting and then also the people of four roses didn't know anything about their whiskey that they were promoting. This was the worst place I've ever been to I would never recommend anyone to go to this place. If you want to keep your money and not get ripped off go somewhere else there's so many other great restaurants on 2nd Street. I would rate this place a -10 do not go read more
