Fries
Mario S.

This was my first time coming to Ballast Point, and I had a blast. I went with my wife to watch some of the World Cup games, and the vibe was amazing! TVs in every corner, great views, and tasty food. The ordering setup was very unique. The whole place is open seating, and once you find a table, you scan the QR code located on it to start ordering your food and drinks. Food and beverages arrived within minutes of ordering. Overall, we had an excellent time, and I will definitely be coming back soon.

It was my first time at Ballast and the beer was excellent but after a couple of beers, these fries and wings hit so different. They were crispy but not dry. Love this place!

This Ballast Point in Long Beach has a great view of the waters and great food. I came for a Saturday lunch and it was extremely packed. Although the parking lot is big, it was difficult finding a spot. Inside is huge. There's outdoor seating, upstairs, in doors in the first floor. However, because of how crowded it was, finding a good spot was also tricky. Patients is virtue! For food, I tried the pastrami fries, flatbread pizza, and Cobb salad. They did a great job on these items and the portions were notable. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience at Ballast Point. I hope they accept reservations for smaller parties in the future. I'd come back.

came here for a friend's birthday and they have plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, but parking can get scarce, especially in the evening! i have to say their patio is definitely a whole vibe though with the views of the water and fireplaces. they even had a dj playing on the top floor on saturday when we went. even with our large party, service was always nice and welcoming. drinks were good and they have a wide variety. the food we ordered were pretty good as well. everything came out fresh in about 15-20 minutes. it's a great, casual place to hang with friends.

Good views Sh*tty IPA Personally I didn't like the bitterness from the Pineapple IPA I approve of the watermelon Dorado...but just a tad bit

Ahi tuna poke, loaded pastrami fries (delicious)

Vibes: Chill, classy, great views Crowd: Surprisingly reasonable on a Friday evening Menu: lots of brew/bar food options Value for price: 5/5, good food flavors and nice beer prices Service: 5/5, friendly and quick Parking: plenty, private lot My friend and I met up at Ballast Point on a Friday afternoon for drinks/food. For such a lovely day, there was a surprisingly small crowd, and we had open pick of indoor seating (which has a view of the lake/sunset) and two levels of outdoor seating. We sat up top at a 2-person tall table with a spectacular sunset view. Lots of people were here on dates- great casual place to chat for extended periods of time. I had an IPA (I'm sorry I forgot which brew, but it was delicious) and my friend had a wine. Although there were water drops in her glass for some odd reason, both of us enjoyed our drinks. We shared the loaded pastrami fries (DELICIOUS, decadent treat with cubed flavorful pastrami), and each had the ahi poke bowl (generously portioned, lots of fish, sriracha mayo drizzle). They brought out heaters when it got cold. Highly recommend!

Hazy and a Black Marlin

Great place to watch the sunset. Wall of glass is great. Views are so relaxing. Fantastic beer selections my go to is always a Hazy IPA also love a Black Marlin. Food is decent we live the Cauliflower tacos always on point. When ever the craving hits this is our go to place QR codes on the table make ordering fast and simple. Staff is friendly and the vibe is pretty cool. Music is current and a mix of styles. Young old all types of folks here.

Such a beautiful sight to see while drinking. They offer an outside patio, inside seating, and it's two stories. The food and drinks are all ordered from a QR code taking a little away from the service opportunity however our time there was beautiful. They had tvs to watch games and the location was clean. The only sad part was that 75% of the drinks were sold out come mid week.

Steak Dinner Special on Weds don't miss out yummy

Stopped here on the way home from the tulip fields! I loved my lunch the soft bun (I don't usually eat) & my whole meal & cold beer was gobbled up by me, terrific!

Pastrami burger with side salad

Bring your out of town ppl here! The views are spectacular! We visited on a Friday around 5pm and it wasn't super crowded. Walk in, find a spot, scan the code, and start your order online and they bring your food to you. Hubby had the pastrami burger and I had the poke bowl. He had their beer on tap and I had a Hawaiian Mai tai. We were celebrating an early Mother's Day. I had such a great time! The servers were friendly and quick. I highly recommend!

Steak nachos, everything hard seltzer, buffalo chicken sandwich with garlic fries

Visited Ballast Point Brewing Long Beach on a Saturday afternoon with a party of 10 and had a really good experience overall. The view is beautiful and even with a larger group, finding self-seating was surprisingly easy. I also liked how simple it was to pay individually through the QR code system, which made splitting the bill hassle-free for everyone. I spent around $80 for 3 drinks, an appetizer, and an entree, which felt pretty reasonable for the location and atmosphere. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the food I ordered just wasn't really for my liking. I'd still come back though because the vibe, service setup, and scenery made it worth visiting, and I'd like to try different menu items next time.

Ballast Point Wings
Vincent P.

The waterfront view is spectacular and is honestly the main reason to come here. We took a short stroll on the dock after dining here to take it all in. You can seat yourself wherever. Of course, most people go to the outdoor area with the nice view of the marina, so it can fill up quickly. Ordering is done via QR code. They have a good variety of craft beer to try. I'm not a big beer drinker, but I thought they were all good for what it's worth. As for the food, don't expect too much other than munchies to compliment the drinks. We shared the Ballast Point Wings and I ordered the Ballast Point Burger. The wings weren't the best and it really needed the sauces for added flavor. The burger was decent, but nothing special to justify the price. Overall, it's a fun environment to hang out with friends and have some drinks. Come for the drinks and view, just don't expect much from the food.

Steak nacho
amy w.

Amazing view. We get to find a table ourselves and we chose oceanview of course. Would have loved to sit either rooftop or outdoor, but forgot to bring a jacket. BUMMER... next time for sure since it is totally happening outside. The food was very tasty. I loved the steak nacho, it was fully loaded with everything. The fish n chips was not shabby at all. The fries were one of the better fries i have had. Service was great. Super attentive, super friendly. Highly recommend.

Sicilian-style pepperoni and sausage slice with crisp edges, melty cheese, and a cold beer on the side.

They truly brought our vision to life and made the entire setup feel so special and personalized. The quality of the backdrop was amazing--beautifully designed, vibrant, and the perfect focal point for the party. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it made for the most memorable photos. We had many changes throughout out party planning process which I felt really bad for but Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with! They werepunctual, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event feel magical.

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

Very little parking and the back leads into an alley way. There was a lot of guests so we were told to park in the residential area which had sketchy surroundings when walking back towards the event space. When we entered the space, it felt like an open layout house. Fairly modern design. Useful space. Two restrooms for guests. There was a small connecting area with a fridge for storage. The next room over was perfect for a small play bouncer. No kitchen area. The catering company all had to set up outside in the already limited parking lot area. The pavement was in ruin. Needs to be replaced. The AC was very cold on a 67 degree day. Two stars docked for the limited parking. inconvenience and the odd location in a commercial/residential zoned area.

If I could give zero stars I would. Ben was hired for my daughters Quince. I didn't want to have to…read moreworry about anything on this special day. In Aug of 2017 I hired LUXE for my event the in July 2018. Below are a few of the issues * Ben said he had other events at this venue, so he would take care of the bartending, no issues. 3 days before the event he told me he couldn't get the license for the event to bartend. He thought he could get by without having the proper ABC license at a city community center? Really? We had to scramble and purchase the alcohol ourselves and then hire a separate bartender. The plan was to have a closed bar. So this caused a lot of issues and additions cost. *Ben was paid an extra fee for "special linens" for the cake,m gift and coffee tables. These were supposed to be above and beyond standard to make it look really nice. What I got instead was cheap white polyester linens. *Ben was also paid extra for a backdrop for the cake and main court table. He didn't supply the backdrop for the cake table at all, and the one he used for the main table looked awful. Bars and other items laying in the back showed up in all of our pictures, ruining them! * After going thru the venue details, Ben said he only needed an hour to prep everything before the start of the event. He then stated if he could get an extra 15 minutes it would help him out. So I paid for an extra 30 minutes to the hall. My event started at 5pm. Now after 6pm he still wasn't done setting up. It took him 2.5 hours to finish setting up. Family and friends starting helping putting linens, center pieces, and plates on the tables to help out. This was quite embarrassing. * After the event was over we had a few hours to get the facility cleaned up. If it was not done in time, I would lose my deposit. Of course this was no skin off of his back. I had to stay and have family and friends assist with the clean up otherwise this company never would have been done in time and I would be out even more money. * Some of my guest also commented that while he was setting up he was helping himself to alcohol! Very unprofessional. * When I spoke to Ben about these issues and let him know I felt I was entitled to some sort of a refund for all of these issues, as others have mentioned her became very defensive and refused and said sue me. He told me I was very ungrateful and was down right rude. He is definitely very unorganized and very unprofessional. Do not risk your precious event and day with this company, you will definitely regret it.

My fiance found Ben at a bridal show and was so surprised by his package options, we were certain…read morethat it was too good to be true. We decided to use his services for an intimate engagement party and we now have him booked for the big day. He was very polite and punctual.

I never once had to ask him get something done because he was always one step ahead. Looking forward to working with him again.
