We almost didn't go because of all the bad reviews I read online but I'm glad we did. We went to go see the Linkin Park tribute band yesterday & it was awesome. I had so much fun. We got there at around 6 & our reservation wasn't until 7:30 but they allowed us to sit down early. The server was super attentive & brought us our drinks & food pretty quickly. The food was delicious! Definitely recommend the buffalo cauliflower We will definitely be returning. read more

PURE CRAP!!! I don't like to pile on or kick a dead horse but the traveshamockery that unfolded Saturday night would drive anyone to desecrate a corpse. So, doors 'open' at 6... for who? Show starts at 7:30, yet at 7:00, 7:15, and even 7:30, still hundred(s) of people in line outside. Paid customers, people on 'lists', interested fans, and I swear a guy that just had walked up to see what the line was about and just stuck around...all in the same line that moved no more than a few feet every 10 minutes. So, after waiting in line for over 90 minutes and being certain we are missing the show(s) AND the fire department showing up, the line moved... because people, paying customers and otherwise, started to leave. Good luck with getting a refund for those who try. Thanks for the robbery, Gaslamp. With all the cover bands, You're a cover for thieves. If the food is 50 times better than their organization and management, it would only qualify as subpar. And worse yet, they didn't and don't give a rat's ass. Again, thanks Gaslamp for saving people from enjoying a Saturday night and me from ever spending a penny in an establishment (if you want to call yourself that) deserving of all the negative word of mouth and reviews. read more

We went just recently on a Sat nite and there was over several hundred people waiting in line that stretched around the block for a depche mode tribute. One sorry guy checking will call tickets the wait took hours. What a joke. Never got in. Please someone turn them over to the fire dept and health and safety. There is no way this number of people in this tiny place could even of been legal if they actually eventually let everyone in. This was a disaster waiting to happen. read more

I like going here to see bands play they have a good diverse mix of bands that play there.

Two stars for customer service, but 3 to 4 stars for our server, food and drinks. We reserved a VIP Area for the DMP Halloween Event. Kayla was our server. She was awesome! Their burgers are delicious. My main issue is receiving my $150 deposit that was required when reserving the VIP Area. You are required to spend a minimum of $500, and the $150 should be deducted from your bill. Our group was a party of 11, so between all of us we more than covered the $500. Unfortunately, I was not around when my husband paid and did not ask him about the deposit, which should have been used against our bill. I have since called and tried to get my deposit refunded, but it has not gone through yet. I have called several times and was told that it was processed, but still nothing. Twelve days later and still waiting... My last message/call has yet to be returned. read more

We went for the Blues fest, especially to see Canned Heat, who were definitely the stars of the night. I've never been to this venue, having driven by it for years. We usually go to the Coach House. I called to see if they were offering a dinner menu as this was not one of their house events. The lively girl who answered the phone was so nice and pleasant! We arrived at 6, greeted so nicely the guy at the door and ushered to our table. The waitress came promptly, took drink orders and explained a few things on the menu. We both had the Gaslamp burger & fries. Incredible!!reasonably priced and probably the best burger I've had out in ages! I looked at the food the other guests were ordering and it all looked great! And the service was top notch! I can't wait to come back! The Coach House will never get my business again! read more

The Gaslamp is one of my favorite places in Long Beach. I have been here many times over the years. The food and service has always been great. They provide a variety of music shows here for different tastes. We like to go on Sunday for the Blues & brunch. read more

The food is just okay but they have a good line up of cover bands and it's one of the only places in LA to go dancing if you're over 30. It's a sh*t show most busy nights but that's to be expected anywhere in LA Co. Fun cover bands gets the three stars and the giant parking lot and ability to reserve tables gets the fourth. read more

one of the best places for food poisoning and maybe a side of music. one visit was more than enough for me.

Came here a couple weekends ago to watch No Duh and a few other tribute bands for Weezer, STP and Oasis. My cousin and I ordered dinner. He got a burger and fries and I ordered the salmon. It did look like a pre-cooked or maybe pre-frozen piece of fish, but it was cooked nicely and flavored perfectly. Not overcooked and not overly seasoned. I was quite surprised and would order it again. Bathrooms were nicely stocked and sufficiently clean. That was nice. The place overall was clean and the service was nice. We hadn't made reservations beforehand, but we scored a pretty good spot at a big shared table and all the staff from the door guy, hostess and server were all friendly and welcoming. I hadn't come here in over 15 years. I really like how they spruced up the place. Lots of seating, which was nice. The sound was nice too. Great stage with just enough space on the floor to enjoy the music. I will definitely be going back to check out live music again soon! read more

Can this place be anymore gross!!! Filthy location, dirty bathrooms and food is super nasty !!! Need to search for another place!!! Ugh

Great vide, KNYGHT RYDER are a great group, vibe is hip, drinks are good, food is not michellin star but good(best tater tores I had). Nothing not to like, really. read more

Live band was pretty good .. food was ok .. servers at the big party we had on a Sunday afternoon were quite good.. friendly and professional .. nice parking area .. finally recognized this the place and it was the old Bentley's Nightclub in the 90s .. read more

Fun place. Live music on Sunday afternoons. A bit crowded like all venues on Friday and Saturday nights. Also, food is terrific read more

The cajun chicken sandwich was gas, 10/10 if you're ok with spicy. Love gaslamp Country Thursdays, shoutout Cindi & DJ Coral!

My friend and I were there for Depeche tribute. We didn't purchase tickets and decided to take our chances. Wrong idea! We gor there at 6:15 and waited in line for an hour and a half. Not until I asked if there would even be any tickets did they separate the line for people with tickets versus people that didn't. We still waited and they couldn't tell us if there were going to be any tickets still. The owner comes out and hands out water bottles. Big deal! we finally left only to dind out that 2 cars had blocked me in and illegally parked. I barely got out. The line was wrapped all the way around the building. Obviously over sold tickets! Everyone was so pissed off. We ended up at Marnis in Seal Beach. Btw. its free and they have great bands!!! Gaslamp really needs to get a computer or a scanner for quicker entry. I'm sure they are making enough money for those. I am just glad that I only wasted my time and not my time and money. I would have been hot. Good luck to those trying to get their money back read more

This is a great place to see a live show in a small bar/restaurant. Large stage with a great sound system. Come for the show, but the food is better than you would expect. Limited menu but very good. I can definitely recommend the short rib and salmon. Calimari is not deep fried - absolutely delicious. Service was excellent. Drinks very good too. read more

We have been to Gaslamp about five times now to see our favorite Rage Against the Machine tribute band, Renegades of Rage. They never disappoint. This time there were two other tribute bands opening for them. Tribute band for Nirvana, Nirvanish was better than I remember from seeing them once before. The lead singer must have been a trance medium. Because all I seen and heard was Kurt Cobain. They also sang a Filter song, Hey Man, Nice Shot, that is in my favorites playlist. The owner of Gaslamp came out on stage to preform in a tribute band for Smashing Pumpkins called The Great Pumpkin! What an extremely pleasant surprise! We've watched them before and I don't remember being this impressed. We sounded so much like Billy Corrigan! Their drummer flew in from I'm not sure where but I'm sure glad that he did. Awesome drummer! Renegades! We love you guys! Johnny, Diego, Jeff and Mike...I'll never get tired of hearing you guys and watching your shows. If I can't get RATM, I'll take Renegades any day, any time, always! We were there with our son and daughter in law celebrating my hubby's 51st bday. The band made him feel special by giving a shout out for his bday! If you haven't seen Renegades before, I can't stress enough that you should find their next show and watch out for the mosh pit! We did not eat here, but Renegades lead singer Johnny did recommend them. Hubby wanted Tamales from Angie's in Norwalk instead. The drinks are comparably priced. Good wait staff. Bathrooms were clean and we'll stocked when we got there. The dance floor was not sticky, just a pet peeve for me. read more

Good food, food drinks, good music which makes for an awesome night! I could totally eat two of the BBQ chicken flatbreads they were YUM. The brussel sprouts were phenomenal. We ate them all before I could get a photo lol. The nachos are ginormous which is good while you drink. The Malbec on the menu is delish. The band and DJ AMAZING! Don't remember the last time I danced that much. Shout out to our server, Loli, she took such good care of us! Cannot wait to back again. read more

I was excited to hear the original songs that I enjoyed growing up in the 70's and 80's during Vinyl DJs brunch on Sunday...but that excitement faded when jazzy, elevator music continued to be heard. I get it, since the typical tribute band at the Gaslamp is 70's and 80's, I made the wrong assumption on the type of music that would be played, so no fault but my own. But there are some of us that like to hear the music from the original groups (not covered), so I hope more DJs are used, but playing 70's/80's on certain days. By the way, the Gaslamp people / service was great !... the rating is down because of the event. read more

$30 per person to get in to see a cover band? No thanks. Security was cool though. I guess second street is way better

We loved the food and the live 80s music band that played (knight Ryder) The DJ played awesome music and the floor was filled with happy people dancing their cares away on a Friday Night Will definitely visit again read more

Bartenders were amazing as well as for the Ambiance was amazing for going for the first time .... read more

Came here for my cousins birthday. Annette was the best server, she was really on top of things and our table of 25. Plus the other tables she was bussing. Food was mid, but we came here to party for my cousin. Drinks were strong, the band was good it's an 80s cover band on Fridays with a DJ in between which was dope. Had a great time, I'd never come here for dinner but to party yessss. read more

Birthday Review: I had a good time there because I was with the best, most fun family and the music of the 80s band Night Ryder was super fun. However , the reservation and the food order was a disaster from the start and created a lot of disappointment. I was dealing with unanswered emails and voicemails. My food ordered from catering for the party was not filled when we showed up. And we were overcharged when we were there. Make sure you double check your receipt before you leave !! With all that said I would not write it off completely. The music was good. Was a fun atmosphere and if you go in there with no expectations you will have a great time. I do plan on going back one day but I will never organize a birthday again. I can recommend for a good time and fun music. read more

We love line dancing here on Thursdays and 80's night on Fridays. It's always very busy, but the service is excellent. The crowd is all ages. Lots of regulars. Food is delicious! Bartender, Jesse, makes the best espresso martini. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Be careful leaving debit cards with bartenders. My card was used next day at five different bars in Norco. I had to cancel my card.

This is a fun place to come dance but the cover charges have gotten out of control. The drinks are overpriced but the staff is mostly friendly. It's way overcrowded but some people prefer that. Food is mid. Fun atmosphere but could be so much better. read more

Went for Birthday party was Excellent really enjoyed the bands. Food was really good. The slider sandwiches were my favorite. read more

Please do not bring the Beatnik DJs in again! They clash with the classic rock hits, from our MTV days, shown on your TV screens. We were looking for that type of atmosphere when we saw your record album DJ brunch advertised. Our group from the 70s 80s would have rather had your TVs blasting out tunes from our era. We didnt even know what to call the genre coming from the turntables! Food was good and music was lousy! read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I haven't had food this good in I don't know how long (no shade to the other places)! I had the best time of my life and I can't wait to go back. I went for country night and it was only a $5 cover charge. The whole staff was polite and friendly. Even a women who wasn't our waitress waited on us and was attentive. It is Halloween time so wear your best costumes! I loved the music and the vibes. They have someone teaching you dance moves so that you don't feel out of the loop. But again the food was beyond what I expected and for the price! The drinks were strong as well. The parking lot is big and spacious so don't worry about coming later. They also have an outdoor patio and take reservations for big parties. Thank you guys so much! My fiancé loves country music so we will be back about once a month to practice our moves! Appreciate you all! read more

Came to listen to band while enjoying dinner. We ate burgers and chicken while enjoying a few cocktail. Food was mid range- . A little while post meal - no waters served. When I asked for water- I was told sorry "no" you must purchase a bottle and f water. Excuse me! We just spent 200 on food and drinks & no water. None. Suspect! Concerning! Makes zero sense. Owner- rethink water policy! read more

Tyler was our server she is very friendly attentive and caring and has a big heart makes you feel welcome . We love coming here . Great place . Great environment and great atmosphere. She's awesome! read more

Went to see Amy Winehouse tribute band, supposed to start at 8 o'clock, didn't start until 9:30. Couldn't really give a honest review as I got tired of waiting for them to play and had to leave. read more

If you want to see some rock band, this is a place to go. Crowd I would say more of early 40's and 50's. Good for office party such as department party. It's crowded on Fridays. read more

Decent food although overpriced, good strong drinks and a cool looking venue. Basically, a very large room. The outdoor patio is more of a smokers' lounge. Came here to see two tributes, Queen and Pat Benatar, both excellent by the way. Most interesting to first-timers like myself and a local Long Beach friend whom had never been here, go figure... is the diverse crowd ranging from post-collegiate to Baby Boomers. Fun but too crowded. The vantage point if you actually reserved a table by booking early isn't great as long as you don't mind that. Acoustics are good. Standing room area gets packed and we hung back by the bar. Definitely worth checking out. Parking lot is large but can fill up quickly. read more

Gaslamp - Crab mac n cheese. Yum. - Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

I came here for the live music on a Friday night and the band did not disappoint. Knight Ryders rocks!!!

was here this past Saturday with my party of 4 for the 7th Annual Bob Marley Festival. The food was great and I must say the homemade Clam Chowder was delicious. Our waitress was the best and had to really give this review. Ambiance was great and great and reminds me much of what the "White House" (Laguna Beach) and the "Belly Up Tavern" (Solana Beach).. Overall the place is great to kick back and relax and have a good meal and especially if there is a live band that day. The only thing was the parking why the 4 stars. read more

Gaslamp did a fantastic job hosting LB Wilson High's 30th reunion. We took over the patio and had heavy appetizers that were so yummy. Mike and his team went above and beyond to welcome our over 100 attendees and created a space that allowed us to take a great group pic that we will cherish forever. Thank you Gaslamp for creating a wonderful memory! read more
