Winter Vegan Pizza: roasted broccoli, garlic, beets, kalamata olives, sprouted peas & pumpkin sunflower cream- party in my mouth!
Lynn O.

When a biochemist and a classically trained French pastry chef couple opened shop, we got Long Beach Beer Lab. Together they combine science, fermentation, and local quality ingredients to create some awesome craft beers and baked goods. The brewery specializes in sours but they also make IPAs, lagers, and stouts. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I appreciate that they have a sparkling Moscow mule cocktail, a house Chardonnay and a house Cabernet Sauvignon. LB Beer Lab is on my top 5 list of pizzas in this city and it's all because of my love for the Mushrooms Wild pizza. All of their pizzas are made with a beer malt sourdough crust and I recommend dipping the crust in their very garlicky marinara sauce! The Mushrooms Wild pizza has a creamy ricotta base, Local Long Beach mushrooms, caramelized onions, confit garlic, mozzarella, and topped with spring greens, fresh cherry tomatoes, and a lemony, parsley dressing. Yes, it's like a salad pizza and I love the zesty dressing! Their Margherita is quite popular with its star shaped crust and the Spicy Summer with Worthington Meatless pepperoni is good too. In fact, all of their items are vegetarian here. The garlic knots and beignets are bite-sized with a mochi-doughnut-like chewy texture. Both are great for sharing. Order at the register and they'll pour your drink and serve your food when it's ready. Food comes out pretty quickly. Plenty of indoor seating and family friendly with board games and lots of pin ball machines! Free parking lot in the back too! Check their schedule as they have different hours of operation and are closed on Thursdays. Happy to see they have expanded and opened a couple of other locations in Long Beach too!

Margarita Pizza & Traditional Cheese Pizza
Kandyce B.

Today we celebrated my Ninos birthday. It was our first time here & I must say, we had a very good time with our kiddos, family & friends. They had an isle of pinball machines & a separate little table with other games. They also had a guitarist playing live music. The staff were very nice! Even though the food was vegan, it was tasty. The Margarita pizza was amazing! We also ordered a grilled cheese & a side of fries for the kids. Now for the drinks.... I ordered a spike berry lemonade slush. That was right up my alley, delicious! My husband ordered the Sublime Beer & the Dad Beer. We would definitely come back!

My entire family loves this place! The pizza is good, the selection of beers is great, the ambiance is very chill and the staff is always friendly. You can enjoy sports on the tvs, pinball/arcade games and board games in the main room, and cozier and more intimate vibes upstairs.

If you're ever around the area you need to stop by!! The pizzas here are so good, you won't be disappointed! The service is exceptional and they let you try beers before purchasing them which is amazing. They are super attentive and they allow for you to bring your dogs and of course I took my puppy with me! We went on a Friday night and the music was perfect, the crowd was super cool and everyone seemed like they were enjoying their time!! The pinball machines are super fun and the place is filled with lots of locals!

Highly recommend the Rib Crusher 50000, a triple hazy IPA collab with ambitious ales. 12oz is $9 and 6oz is $6. Super smooth, not too hoppy for a triple, and has a slightly fruity sweetness to it. Nice brew while enjoying the NBA game on TV.

Seasonal pizza
Jimmy S.

This brewery is pretty awesome. They make their own bread and therefore their own pizza and other sides. We got the seasonal pizza, garlic knots and fries. All were excellent, especially the pizza. The beer is also great. It looks to be seasonal as their tap seems to rotate with many different beers ranging from lagers to stouts to sours and ipas. The space has opened up to a new larger area where there's also pinball machines and games. Overall this vibe and upstairs is also very cool.

The excellent May The Schwartz Be With You Schwarzbier from Long Beach Beer Lab!
Alden C.

Steve and I recently had some beer frombLong Beach Beer Lab and I have to say we were both highly impressed with what we had. It was a beer type we don't often get but usually enjoy, a Schwarzbier, a kind of dark lager called May The Schwartz Be With You which is a reference to Spaceballs movie. We really liked this beer a lot! We enjoyed the flavors of maltiness, smokiness and hoppiness. The beer is nice and dark in appearance and in body it goes down nice and smooth. An excellent Schwarzbier, that much is for certain!

Brandye K.

A solid OK. Fun building, cool to see inside of the beer lab. They have trivia and things. Would not come here specifically for dining. Very limited menu. Ordered the margarita pizza which was said to be the best, it wasn't bad. Lots of crust. I order a side of basil oil, so much crust you need 2 sauces. Service was Eh- just sufficient. You have to order at the counter, you have to go back to the counter to get your items, there are signs to bus your table and they still have a tip prompt when paying.

Most ridiculous French fry portion for $9
Marini V.

This was the portion for fries and it was NINE DOLLARS LOL. Wondered why this place was alway empty, and now I know. Such a bummer as I literally live walking distance but will never come back because they're so overpriced.

Oh I am SUPER bummed that LB Beer Lab has decided not to bake bread or desserts anymore except perhaps at seasonal times! I loved to pop in and get a pizza, beer, and a loaf of olive bread to take home and slather with butter. So sad. But we broke traditional from ordering a full size Margherita Pizza getting a personal size one along with a personal size Mushroom Pizza. I have to say that while I think it's a great idea to have personal size pizza, they never seem to have the same gusto as a full size one. Perhaps it's just too much of the edge taking over the pie and thus less dough and toppings. While the Margherita was up to par we were woefully disappointed with the Mushroom Pizza which the staff said was an improvement over previous versions. While the super thin slices of potato didn't disrupt the pie nor do the ricotta (I love white pizzas), my question is: WHERE WERE THE MUSHROOMS! Were they chopped up? Bummed. While I loved this place, the change of dropping bread and a shortened menu list, make me wonder if it's just turning into a complete brewhouse. Bummer.

The person who helped us the most was, Soky. He was absolutely great They are on the water with a nice view of the marina and you can sit here and do some boat watching (it's gorgeous if you come here during sunset) the outdoor seating is very spacious. They even have a second level for a rooftop outdoor view. I'd say more people like to eat outside here vs inside. -this place is used for a lot of private events. parking can get extremely crowded Also, this place can be extremely loud It's open seating and we ended up ordering outside for their bbq special they were having (we had to order the BBQ outside) and then you go to their serve your own water stations if you are just drinking water, like we were We got -pastrami fries 5/5 -pepperoni pizza 3/5 -BBQ special 5/5 -brownie caramel sundae 5/5 I'm not a beer person, but their beer menu is impressive. They have limited options when it comes to other alcohol. When it comes to the food menu, they have a bit of everything. They have a big selection of - small bites / appetizers. Which makes it perfect to share with friends. They have pizzas Burgers Seafood options Pastrami burgers and pastrami fries (their pastrami is a favorite here) Vegetarian options And, weekday specials I like the atmosphere. Just be prepared, it does get pretty noisy in here during the weekend at peak hours. They have TVs and just from the amount of people packed in here. The atmosphere inside also has a view of the water. It's just one big glass window. So you can see the outside view from inside They offer a military discount And WiFi

Horrible experience that ballast point tried to scrub this review. So Cliff notes:…read more Went for a beautiful lunch along the water one day with a friend. Upon walking in the host said we could sit anywhere but on this day, half of the restaurant was closed off for a party which was fine. We sat on the beautiful deck. The tables have QR codes which is fine but it does tie you to that table making it hard to change tables mid order (will get to this point in a minute). 10 minutes into sitting down, a patron walks by us and as he is next to our table he buckles over and throws up. It's like 1pm on a Wednesday mind you...this bro was being a messy ass queen and getting that drunk at 1pm on a Wednesday? Bro get yourself a wife. Anyways. By this point we had already ordered and since the QR code is attached to the table and since that's how we ordered, we had to wait for our food before being able to move tables. 10 minutes then 20 minutes go by and not a single employee has come by to clean up the vomit and it's right next to our table and in main walk way... After we got our food, we moved tables and ate. The food was just okay at best. Way too expensive for that's ballast point for you.

On the day that I went, they had a mariscos vendor that sold delicious ceviches. Note that during peak dinner hours, the wait times for pizza from Thunderbolt can be close to 30 minutes. I went with Ambitious Ale's Central Perk, which was a blonde ale with madagascar vanilla and guatemalan coffee notes, and these flavors were surprisingly present and not subtle. They had tons of unique flavor options here and I definitely would love to come back to try some cold ones with some pizza. Their fruity options were pretty popular with my work group. Their Jollibeer (inspired by the Peach and Mango pies at Jollibee) was a lager with mango and peach puree. The beers I had were crisp, full flavored, and ice cold. Perfect at the end of a work week! It's really nice that they have a nice space in the back to host a group of two or a group of twenty. This is a great pillar in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood.

We came back to order a drink and because we didn't say the drink name Correctly she screamed at my husband and friend and said " That not what it's called I already told your cousin or brother whoever it is ." Then proceeded to raise her hand and make hand gestures because she was annoyed. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! She needs to learn customer service, and it clearly shows in your reviews that she continues to give bad customer service. Please do better!

Mid week when we arrived which wasn't too crazy. There was no one on the patio which was nice as it gave us first choice for a seat...lol... Everyone was seating inside. The place itself isn't that big. You have the bar area with some bar seating. Then there's a couple of tables inside and of course the patio which is along the sidewalk. Personally I prefer sitting outside for the people watching. The staff were all amazing and very friendly. Places like that make the experiences more enjoyable. You want someone who is friendly and respectful. As we were there early, we grabbed one of the beer which they have quite a good selection on tap. There's also wine if you're not into beer. When it came time to grab some food, we were able to get a table inside. Majority of the breweries tends to serve pretty much the same things, pizza sandwiches and salads. No complaints here. Simple food goes a long way. There were a couple of us so we grabbed a few things to share. Started off with the pretzel balls with cheese dip and honey mustard and the chips with queso cheese dip. Pretzel was tasty and outdid the queso dip. Pizzas of course which were pretty big in sizes. A couple of the pizzas and a salad did four of us with leftovers. Their Hawaiian pizza was quite tasty and was finished. We also ordered one of the mushroom pizzas with an egg. It was tasty but a little on the salty side. The arugula salad was delicious. Simple but tasty. And then there was ham pizza I believe with onions and peppercini. That was also a favorite of the night. Overall, the place was quite fun. Not a big brewery and more intimate. The crowd was great and as most places are very kid and family friendly. There was couple of kids when we arrived. Service was great. Food and drinks were enjoyed and the service and staff were excellent. Street parking available along the front but also along the neighborhood.
