Sad to say that this place has closed. It was an art gallery/restaurant. When the current administration slashed the National Endowment for the Arts, it's places like this that suffer. We'll miss you Compound! read more

We were only here for a nightcap and desserts. Both could be skipped/not impressive and hence, didn't justify the LA prices. It's an art museum with abstract pieces and on the day we visited there was psychedelic disturbing sort of video playing on loop. It's also not located in a central well lit spot. Overall, didn't like our visit. read more

Such a vibe! You could walk right past this space and never know the beauty that exists inside of it. In fact, I have passed it on my way to Good Time coffee or Urbana a few times and haven't noticed it. This is an event and art space with a lovely sculpture exhibition right now throughout the exterior and interior. Their gift shop is also worth stopping in and their back bar as well. They have beautiful libations for the sober curious and the not curious. I'd love to pop in with a notebook or laptop and do some writing outdoors one day-- your artist will be inspired after visiting-- take her/him/them now! read more

Compound is such a unique community space. I've gone there to check out art exhibits, free community activities, and to have a meal at Union. I appreciate their intentional and thoughtful programming for the community. I'm sure I'll be visiting many more times in the future. read more

Beautiful venue. Part museum, part restaurant. Love the venue. They work with non-profits and private parties to put on events. Highly recommend it. I would seriously get married here. Union (restaurant) is brand new. Only 3 dishes and the gelatos are vegan. They opened ab a month ago and the food was fresh but needed some work. I thought the cauliflower and broccoli were too hard. My friend thought 2 of their non-vegan dishes needed salt. Looking forward to the chef dialing in everything as time goes by read more

Wow - what a space. I toured Compound before a dinner at Union and wish I had a reason to host an event here, it is incredible. Compound feels spacious and airy while also being cozy and inviting... the designers did a fantastic job in the layout and art piece placements. One of the current exhibits called Puerperal showcases postpartum aesthetic which I found very unique and thought-provoking. The entire art sanctuary is dedicated to art, community and wellness. Whether you're more into art or want to explore wellness, you should definitely explore what Compound has to offer. A few days after my visit, I was telling a friend about the incredible space and he told me that he'd actually hosted a private company event there! The food was provided by Union and he said the entire experience was top notch. The icing on the cake: private event revenue goes back toward their nonprofit programming. Their 2025 programming includes food equity and art programs that educate and inspire local children, youth, and families. Many of their exhibitions and activities are free including art workshops for all, community markets, breathing and sound bath workshops, wellness workshops, artist talks, and others listed on their website. Overall an incredible space, vibe and mission. We need more of these in the world. read more

Just had an event here for a group and the people there are so nice and efficient. The compound itself is in a little bit of a sketch area and the parking isn't all that close to it but once you get past that, the actual compound is quite nice inside. The food is pretty decent. It was Asian inspired but then we had the compound catering food so I'm not sure about the regular menu. The art gallery was pretty small but I spent most of my time at the bar. The drinks were great and their coconut fat infused drink that looks like an old fashion was pretty amazing. Overall, I do recommend this place as a great place to have an event. read more

Been here several times- most recently last night! Wednesdays are half off bottles of wine so we had a really nice sparkling rose! The food was overall really good! I think our favorite was the burrata and pea tendril salad, although the short ribs and quarter friend chicken were also delicious! The shrimp toast was a miss in my mind- wouldn't order again! We also had the mango dessert which was amazing! Service was good also- Joy was attentive but didn't hover! I love the garden setting! This is one is my new favorites in Long Beach! read more

This is quite an amazing place. Art exhibits and a great restaurant. The parking garage access could be improved. But it didn't detract from enjoying our visit. read more

The Compound is back and will now offer a dining experience called Union with food by Baryo! The experience overall is 10/10. The first thing that stands out is the team. Everyone is so friendly and takes pride in their work. They make me want to go back to be part of their community. The ambiance is beautiful and you don't feel like you're right off Anaheim. The vibe is super chill with a sick DJ. The food is delicious and the cocktails are my favorite. Each one has a unique flavor. It's easy to get carried away and spend $$$ if you aren't careful. Don't miss out! read more

Very cool spot with something for everyone. There's art installations, a community market, design space, novelty gift-shop, yoga, guided meditation, event venue....It's a hidden gem. I wanted a quiet, cozy space to catch up and get a high quality cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The drinks were excellent and the staff was warm and attentive. I especially liked the wildflower cocktail which was a spectacular combination of passionfruit and basil. The menu had some enticing vegetarian / vegan / plant-based options but we went the opposite direction with the chuck and galbi. The chuck was tender and juicy. The galbi was chargrilled and very flavorful. The food was high quality and the portions were substantial. The atmosphere was upscale but the prices were incredibly reasonable. I look forward to trying more menu items! read more

We had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah party here and it was the perfect venue for the event. Having multiple spaces--outside courtyard, inside dining, and separate dance room--allowed us maximum flexibility for our 100-person event. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff at the Compound worked with us to get the menu just right--they even added vegetarian sliders without us asking to the slider selection. They catered to our younger crowd with mocktails and an ice cream bar. We got to work with Julie, who helped us every step of the way, and made sure the night was flawless. read more

There's a cool new art space in Long Beach. Everyone here is friendly and welcoming. You can sit in the courtyard and order some drinks and snacks. They will expand soon with indoor dining. Tidepool exhibit by Glenn Kaino was interesting. It's an interactive exhibit where you will see cloud chambers (created in partnership with NASA designers), a wishing well, and there's a sound component. Step into the darkness and make a wish. My favorite was the wishing well that featured a sculptural tank filled with bioluminescent dinoflagellates. Magical experience. If you check out their website they've got free events such as yoga, soundbath, art making, etc. Excited to see what's coming next and what they do with this space. read more

Nothing was good - the food, the cocktails, the wine or the service. The price was somewhat offensive - $42 for a less than 1" thick, gray ribeye with no sear? I have no qualms about paying a lot for a good meal. This wasn't exorbitant - but it also wasn't a good meal. 2 stars is generous. The space was lovely. Hope the next restaurant does it better. read more

The Long Beach Walking club held our One Year Anniversary party at Compound and it was such an incredible event! The Compound staff was so accommodating at supporting our group of 100, and it was truly a perfect space for an event! They allowed us access to a large room perfect for having yoga and a sound bath, and went the extra step to ensure that we felt special. From coffee bar staff and waitstaff up to the events coordinator and hostess, all the staff were engaging, kind, and patient! Compound is truly a beautiful space and I can't wait to return for future events, and personal outings. read more

Great concept! Cozy landscape! Resort gallery feel! It think this place needs a pronoun... so does the food. Asian/Filipino fusion great idea but flavor's a bit diluted. What Filipino food needs is authentic taste with modern approach... this is why Japanese, Thai, Korean and of course Chinese food are a hit! It's original yet relatable! read more

Had a club 1 anniversary celebration here and the space was so amazing! The star was very friend and accommodating. Our group was able to set up activities and classes for our guests. They don't allow outside food or drinks, but they have a great menu to pick from and the events coordinator will work with you to come up with a great menu for your guests. The small bites we got were delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp toast! The drinks were also so delicious. There was plenty of space for over 100 guests! If you're looking for an event space, I would definitely use this place! read more

We had a delightful and delicious (and very reasonably priced) meal here! Would definitely recommend.

This space has so many offerings and dimensions. Every time I return here, its a new and beautiful experience for my eyes, heart, ears, belly and wellbeing. read more

Enjoyed my visit on a Sunday with an incredible sound bath, and then a delicious brunch with peaches and waffle. The contemporary art spaces are beautiful, and we sat and chatted in the sculpture garden. The current exhibit is called Chaos to Cosmos, and had some amazing pieces on display. Go online to sign up for classes! I have enjoyed them all! Thank you Compound! read more
