    Always cheers to Judy

    Special shoutout to everyone here for putting on some excellent service for Long Beach Pride. Free hot dogs, killer drink specials, and a banger-after-banger playlist as usual. Even got to see the management here today and got a shot of fruity-loop-infused vodka straight to the dome. Happy Pride!

    Been here a couple times now and it's been solid all the time. Drinks are very unique and tasty. My personal favorite is the mezcal sour. Inside is a chill vibe and service from the bartenders is on point. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

    Parking is definitely difficult, make sure to make time to find parking. Service is excellent. I loved our servers & even the bouncer was super friendly. Absolutely loved the free popcorn, please don't ever stop doing that. Thank you for all the refills (: we had the dream boat (loved) & freaky little potation. So many different unique well made cocktails. Will definitely be back. Also loved the decor & lighting. Cute bar, not fancy but not a typical dive bar either! A good middle

    It's so pretty here for Christmas! They have a fake snow machine out for the holidays, which is just so wonderfully festive. I can't recommend enough their hot dogs for Happy Hour, which are $5 and come loaded with the works (ketchup, mustard, onions, and relish).

    Best Christmas Bar in LBC! We stumbled upon this bar one day and it definitely met our expectations. To start off: the drinks are DELICIOUS, not only are they creative but they also taste delightful. They currently have a Christmas menu with tons of unique flavors including a coquito. We bought some hot dogs and they were also pretty good, make sure to hit happy hour for $4 hot dogs. Service was extraordinary, from the individuals at the door to the bartenders everyone is very welcoming and helpful. Very narrow but has lots of seating and even on a very busy day it doesn't feel cramped Music is perfect volume but the amount of people in the bar make it for a very noisy place if that's something you care about. Great place to go with friends or on a date. 10/10 hoping to visit soon

    Santa Panties!

    Oh em Baby Gee. It's oh so perfect! Drinks are on point!! Bartender was the sweetest and most talented. Ambience A+ and all Decked out for the holidays.

    We visited this bar for the first time yesterday and had such a great experience! First, the gentleman working the door was incredibly handsome, kind, and surprisingly insightful--we couldn't believe he was the "security." He immediately set a warm, welcoming tone. Inside, everyone was friendly and attentive. We ordered beers and cocktails, then noticed a sign for a "pumpkin ___ jello shot" on the wall and were instantly intrigued. Huge shoutout to Noah, our amazing bartender, who surprised us with two of those plus an espresso martini jello shot. They were out of this world--such a creative twist on a classic bar concept. I've been to plenty of cocktail bars, but this spot stood out thanks to the atmosphere, the staff, and the unique drinks. Overall, an unexpectedly wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Who knew quality local dive + quality cocktails would make for such a happy marriage and have a baby Gee? The cocktail menu is tiki inspired, and so some of the drinks waxed a tad too sweet for my curmudgeon palate. But the menu is so impressive and changes seasonally! Barkeeps are super friendly, and the super kool LBC vibe was probably my favorite part!

    Hemmingway Colada and Terry's Margarita from Last Call $10 menu. Soooo good!

    I'm mad at myself for taking so long to get to Baby Gees. I've been missing out on some of the best cocktails I've had in Long Beach! Not only do they have fun names, but they combine ingredients like nowhere else, creating adventurous libations to stimulate your senses. What finally brought me here was the enticing Last Call Week menu offered during the first week of March. $10 drinks! Terry's Margarita involved tequila, Seville orange aperitif, tamarind, dark chocolate and lime. It was almost like a spiked Oaxacan molé in a glass, rich and complex. Hemingway Colada consisted of Belizian rum, Jamaican rum, Maraschino, coconut, grapefruit and pink peppercorn. I usually avoid piña coladas because they tend to be too sweet, but this was definitely not. Creamy and the grapefruit cut through the rum. The peppercorn gave it a nice kick too! On their regular cocktail menu, we tried the Cracker Jack Ol' Fash and The Honorable Miss Moonlight, both $18. Cracker Jack Ol' Fash is made up of bourbon, Cynar, amontillado sherry, Coca Cola reduction, cherry, peanut oil and topped with a cool temporary tattoo as the Cracker Jack prize. I initially thought this would be a bit sweet as well, but it wasn't! It was definitely one of the best variations of an old fashioned I've ever tasted. The Honorable Miss Moonlight was my favorite cocktail here of all! Gin, Suze, sake, togarashi (Japanese pepper), plum, nori and pine. Also not too sweet yet reminds me of a Japanese umeboshi candy with a nice balance of gin, sake and aperitif. They have snacks such as mixed nuts, olives, and chips as well as small pizzas. I tried the Burrata & Olive with Calabrian chili for $22. It was more like a flatbread than a pizza. I missed the old Red Room memories, but happy to see what they've done here! Service was quick and friendly, retro vibe, parking around here is horrible though.

    One of my favorite bars to go to in Long Beach! I remember being influenced to visit from seeing either a TikTok video or Instagram reel. It is a fairly average size for a bar and has seating all around. I absolutely love the ambiance here. Not to mention, is it a LGBTQIA+ friendly bar! The aesthetic and decorations make it feel positive, fun, and almost homey. I personally wouldn't come here with more than a party of 4 just due to the size of it. It could be hard to sit all together if they are already busy. My favorite part is that they offer non alcoholic drinks. No judgment or questions asked. It might sound funny, hey, lets go to a bar for something non-alcoholic... defeats the purpose right? Haha but not here! I love that they do this to include everyone's tastes and preferences. I personally tag along with my friends but don't prefer alcohol so I really do appreciate this as a consumer. I tried a belly wash and my belly was HAPPY. happy belly happy life. they added some cherries, I don't know what kind they were, but It was a newfound love. If you've seen ratatouille where Anton Ego is transferred to a childhood memory then devours the ratatouille... yeah that was me with the cherries. Customer service was also great! Overall, it's a great bar to go to and try some fun cocktails or something simple! Parking is limited to the street, so be wary because all the blocks around fill up.

    Came here since they were doing special drinks for the holidays. Easy finding parking. We parked in front of the building next door. They check IDs at the door and at the bar. Not a ton of holiday drinks, but we tried a couple things off the menu, one of which had a blinking light at the bottom of the glass. A lot of their usual drinks looked pretty good though. It's a divey ish space. Most tables were taken so we sat at the bar. Looked like you can bring your own food here as we saw one group having a potluck. I did like all the Christmas decor. Tons of vintage stuff too. Staff was nice. Friendly too. Good vibes!

    We stumbled into Baby Gee's this past rainy weekend after missing our Symphony reservation, and honestly, I'm so glad we did. A friend had gone the week before and said it was worth checking out--and they were absolutely right. From the moment we walked up, the experience was already better than most places. The bouncer at the door was incredibly polite, helpful, and well-mannered. Such a refreshing change and it set the tone for the rest of the night. Inside, the ambience is spectacular--warm lighting, great vibe, and everyone just seemed to be having a genuinely good time. Before we could even settle on seats at the bar, the bartenders were already asking what they could get us. No frantic waving or flagging anyone down, which was honestly impressive. The drink menu is fantastic with tons of creative options. I even tried their pickled beer--sounds wild, tastes amazing. Huge shoutout to our bartender, Noah, originally from NYC. As a fellow New Yorker (Queens!), chatting with him made the whole experience feel like home. He went out of his way to offer recommendations, made sure we were taken care of the entire night, and kept the vibe fun. His service was truly top-tier. Every drink we had was delicious and clearly crafted with care. They mentioned they're dropping a new Winter drink menu this week, so I'd definitely recommend stopping in soon. If our night was any indication, you won't be disappointed!

    LOVED! From out of town and always want to try new places ~ believe the great reviews for this place! The cocktails are INSANE! Fun ambiance! There was a tad of a wait for the cocktails as it was busy and only one bartender...BUT they were worth the wait and made with pure heart. She is magician! So good! We had the burrata and olive pizza - 5/5 Warm pretzel ~ 5/5 People Eater Sour ~ OMG! a must! 10/5 Soda Shoppe ~ 5/5 Glutton for Punishment ~ 5/5 Highly recommend! Will definitely be back when in town!

Meaning, we were spending time together and just moving through the interaction, like clothes in a spin cycle. But going here made our time together mean something more because we had arrived at a space that elevated our mood and spirits. So we were now feeling the suds and splashes of the movement not just in the monotony of the spin. As we entered, I felt like the place was a Chinese Market but indoors. I have never bene to China (I have yet to die so maybe one day my feet will have the chance to step the Great Wall) but I feel like their street vendors would have stands like the seating motif within the main room of this joint. The place was not packed but there was no space within the wooden booths for Conrad and I. I asked for options, and they showed me two different rooms. The first room was the Hao Pen You room which was heavilty yet beautifully decorated with varying red lanterns in the ceiling. Additionally, there was a paper dragon hanging in the ceiling, swimming in the air amidst the lanterns. The host ushered me in, and milaseconds after I felt a quick sense of awe. Not like the one I felt one I saw the Sisteen Chappel, but one that compelled me to snap quick photos of the aerial view. The host understood. She stopped her explanation to give me the space to feel my wow that was delivered in a red envelope. I eventually decided to sit in this room, so there is more detail that I can deliver, but before I do, I did request to see the other room of the house. So we crossed the room with the wooden booths and stepped into an immersive Tiki Bar that gave shipwreck vibes. Like the survivors of shipwreck took what they could from the boat's carcass, and made a great bar in the beach that glowed with the light of jellyfish and had seaweed on the ceiling as decoration that was not stale like mistletoe on a doorway. When Conrad and I sat in the Hao Pen You room, we learned that it was a quasi speak easy. According to history, in the 1800's it was common for Chinese immigrants to visit gambling and opium dens behind laundry rooms to find a space that they could call their own and escape discrimination. I am sure that dens of the past did not have the blazing style of the room I was sitting in, but I did appreciate learning about the history that inspired the room. Only because the pain of the past was reshaped to honor a culture in theatrical and edgy red. Plus, as one of my pictures show, the dragon's face and laser lit eyes, made it seem like a real creature born to this earth, not one simply reserved for myth and Game of Throne episodes. I appreciated the immersive trip to Chinese's lore and history. The reason why I did not give this place 5 stars, was the food. The food in general was (maybe tragically) basic. Conrad did not confirm this fact until we were outside the restaurant. I asked him why did he not share his feelings with our server when she asked? He explained why would he, she did not cook the food, and she could not do anything? And I am from the camp, where honesty matters but I guess it might only matter to me? He might be right what does honest feedback do for a server? Conrad might have been practicing "restaurant politeness" like keep the situation civil because if one becomes a demanding patron or eater then one breaks the social contract and becomes rude. Specifically, Conrad and I had the Vegan Dumplings, the pork buns, and rice wrapped in leaves. And even though we had different bites, and each one had their own flavor profile at the end I can only describe each bite as basic. That is my opinion, and I stand by it, as I should, as every one should. Perhaps this restaurant owns this identity. This might be a place that offers theatrical atmosphere, great drinks, vibes that make a Tuesday special, but their food might be the area that remains standard, and in the final score card the servers of the joint might be ok with that.

Honestly thought it was the bar that we came inside. First impression, why did we need reservations.... Since we didn't know the hidden entrance. Well, it's a cool concept once we entered.

Once reservations is made, you'll received an email with a password to enter. Enter phone booth and to connect to the inside and they'll open the door for you. We had the first reservations I believe they opened at 7pm. We were the first group to arrive. As it was my first time, we had ordered bar food and were waiting for it inside the main bar. So half an hour was used from our time limit. The speakeasy, dark and moody but perfect for the place. Special crafted cocktails by the bartenders which were great. They also have food as well, found out later. We did try the meat pie, which it was just ok. Basically an empanadas, the pickle veggies accompanied it was my favorite. It was good but nothing major to rave about. The drinks were quite nice and tasty. What they offered on the menu did have a load of good choices. Tables scattered throughout as well as bar seating. There's a piano which maybe used for live music. Overall, the moody speakeasy vibe was great. Friendly staff and bartender made some great drinks. What we had to snack on, the meat pie was just ok.

The garlic noodles exceeded my expectations - shrimp were huge, seasoned well, and just cooked through, the noodles were broad, float, tender, and had a slight chewiness to it. The scampi shrimp were huge, tasty, succulent, and cooked perfectly (not surprised since the shrimp with the garlic noodles were so good). NOTHING WAS OVERCOOKED OR MADE ME GO.... "MEH...." and I've been to many Thai restaurants even the highly stylized kitschy ones like Farmhouse Thai in SF. The waiters were very attentive. They made their rounds to make sure waters were filled and all guests were taken care of. It helps they were also handsome too! LOL. I generally find many places nice in the competitive LA, but not nice enough for me to travel from the SGV. However, I will go out of my way to visit KL again to try the rest of their menu (drunken noodles, pork jerky, crab fried rice, papaya salad, etc.) because they left a good impression with me. Prices are reasonable and the quality of food, cocktails, clean restrooms, ambiance was coastal modern, has its own designated parking lot, and service was lovely.

    My family and I were heading to the Aquarium of the Pacific and wanted to find a good dinner spot…read morenearby afterward. I came across this place on TikTok because of their famous Thai tea popsicle, so naturally I had high hopes. First off, we got incredibly lucky with parking. I can definitely see how parking could be a nightmare since the lot is tiny, so consider finding a spot part of the dining experience. When we arrived, the inside was cute and seemed clean. We were seated outside, which also looked nice at first glance, but I noticed quite a few spider webs around the windows. My boyfriend even felt webs brushing against his arm while we were sitting there, which wasn't exactly the extra ambiance we were expecting. We ordered quite a bit: spicy Pad Thai, Bang Bang Shrimp, Pad See Ew, mango sticky rice, and of course the Thai tea with the popsicle. I'll give credit where it's due. The Bang Bang Shrimp was easily the best thing we ordered and was absolutely delicious. The Thai tea popsicle also lived up to the TikTok hype, although the actual Thai tea itself was on the sweeter side. If you love sugar, you'll probably enjoy it. My biggest complaint with the food was the spicy Pad Thai. The flavor was great, but it came with what felt like a whole chicken farm and a cameo appearance from the noodles. I ordered Pad Thai, not chicken with noodle garnish. The Pad See Ew was also noticeably salty. Now you're probably wondering why I'm giving this place a low rating if most of the food was decent. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the meal. When it was time to pay, my aunt was figuring out how much everyone needed to Zelle her since the restaurant only allows a maximum of two cards for split payments. While we were trying to do the math, our waiter stood over us watching the payment screen like he was supervising a final exam. He was clearly waiting to make sure a tip was entered. My aunt politely asked him to give us a minute, and thankfully he walked away. Maybe when you see a family actively calculating a bill, that's your cue to...actually give them a minute. Keep in mind we also tipped 20% despite all this. Throughout the meal, he did stop by our table, but it rarely felt like he was checking in to make sure everything was okay. If anything I felt rushed. He also gave off that "customer service smile" that disappears the moment you stop looking. The cherry on top for me happened as we were leaving. We had been sitting on the outdoor patio talking for a bit after paying, which is pretty normal for my family. Before leaving, I went inside to ask where the restroom was. The guy and girl behind the bar looked at each other, laughed, and then asked if I was a paying customer. Keep in mind, I was literally holding a to-go bag with leftovers from the restaurant. I responded, "Yeah, I just finished eating," while holding up the bag that made it painfully obvious. Only then did they tell me where the restroom was. Nothing says "valued customer" quite like being interrogated about whether you actually ate there while carrying your leftovers. It's unfortunate because the food had some highlights, and the restaurant itself has a cute atmosphere. But the service made it feel like customers are viewed more as transactions than guests. Between hovering over us during payment and questioning whether I even belonged there after spending money, I left feeling more unwelcomed than satisfied. I'll happily support a restaurant that appreciates my business instead of making me feel like I have to prove I earned the right to use the restroom after paying for dinner.
