    Historic bar and eatery that offers a relaxed sports bar vibe with secret passageways and Hidden speakeasies. The food is above average, considering it is a bar mostly. There are multiple outdoor patios that can accommodate groups of people.

    We celebrated our Tia's Anna Birthday today at Roxanne's The food was delicious, we got the zucchini sticks and Sliders. The service was excellent, we got helped out by Jose. He did a great job for us, we were very needy lol but he was very helpful. The ambiance is very nice as well. We highly recommend Roxanne's.

    My boyfriend and I did the five-venue bar hop at Roxanne's and had such a great experience from start to finish. We were welcomed by our event host Meredith with a champagne toast to kick off the evening, which was such a fun touch. The experience includes one drink at each venue, and at the distillery you also get three small tasting samples that are 99 proof. We started at the distillery and it was a very cool experience. You get snack pairings along with the tasting samples, and Meredith was extremely knowledgeable about how everything is made. You can tell there is a lot of passion behind the experience. Next we went to the Exhibition Room speakeasy, which was honestly one of the coolest speakeasies I've been to. You enter through a phone booth with a password, and once inside it truly feels like stepping into the Prohibition era. The atmosphere was top notch. The bartender personally designed all of the drinks and took the time to explain each one to us. The drinks were incredible -- my cocktail there may have honestly been the best drink I've ever had, and I've had plenty over the years. After that we were taken to the tiki bar on the patio. I was amazed by the design and attention to detail. I've been to many tiki bars before, but this one really stood out. The bartender was so knowledgeable and even gave us a taste of a mezcal blend that completely changed my opinion of mezcal. It was smooth, balanced, and probably the best mezcal I've ever tasted. The custom tiki cocktails were amazing too. We finished back at the main bar where we each had another drink. On weekends they have a DJ, which made the atmosphere really fun and lively. The food is served until 10 PM and the fajitas were amazing. They also have a banquet hall, and there was a party going on while we were there, plus pool tables and plenty to do. Overall this was such a unique and memorable night out. Every venue had its own atmosphere and personality, the drinks were outstanding, and the staff made the whole experience feel special. Highly recommend for date night or anyone wanting a fun night in Long Beach.

    Cool dive bar with a twist. Came for a drink as we were meeting up with some friends. Place is quite big with a sections that's almost a dance floor. Plenty of outdoor seating both front and the back. Believe the back is a different establishment but could be affiliated. It's another bar, a tiki bar. This place does offer food which honestly we were quite surprised that what we had was nice. Drink wise, a full bar so whatever you're craving I'm sure they can make. They do have happy hour with both food and drink menu. We had the happy hour margaritas which was quick nice and did have a kick to it. One with salt and the other with tajin. Food, the zucchini stick which was really yummy. Perfect batter which gives it the right crunch and cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce. Also the chicken quesadillas were nice. Basic but full flavors. The loaded fries with fried chicken was a hit as well. Mixed with cheese, grilled onions and shoe strings fries, it was a hit. Food was really nice. There's also a pool table in the back. Didn't see anyone playing yet as it was still kind of early but I'm sure it'll get busy later on in the evening. It's a pretty cool neighborhood bar that had great bar eats. There's a small parking lot but also street parking available. Lots of outdoor picnic table seating as well.

    Came back for our clubs happy hour. Still really good place for drinks and food. Their fried zucchinis and crispy pork fries are bomb!! Really fun and cool space to hang. My only complaint was that they were short on staff that night. Waiting to get a drink made at the bar took 15 minutes. Only one bar tender handling the drinks. Hopefully will be better.

    Soyrizo Taquitos
    Isaac F.

    Welcoming staff, good food with quite a few vegetarian/vegan options, and a lot of live entertainment. What more could you want from a local bar? :) I ordered the soyrizo taquitos from the very friendly bartender. The plate came out promptly, about 15 minutes after I had ordered it and it tasted delicious. 4 soy chorizo taquitos with some pickled vegetables on top. I scarfed it down pretty quickly because it was so yummy. To be honest I wasn't even aware that Roxanne's had such a diverse menu, I assumed they had just the standard pub feed. But I was pleasantly surprised by how many options there were, especially for someone who is plant based like myself. I will definitely be back and try their mushroom fajitas. They also host several weekly open mics, and I think that's cool that they support their local artists. Tonight (Monday) they had comedy and most of the comedians were pretty funny. I've been to Roxanne's a few times before, but this was the first time I got food. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, considering most bars don't prioritize their food.

    Whatcha know about pickle beer?

    Tamarind wings are fire if you have not heard. The rumors are true. Tangy wings. Ordered a dozen just to have with my old fashioned. Theb only downside on this visit--the bar is out of cherries. Whhhhhhhhhhy.... !?!?!

    Stopped by for an event hosted here and it was a vibe! This place has lots of seating both inside and outside! Very cool decor and music too! It was pretty empty due to it being a Sunday afternoon when we went but service was very nice. Food came out pretty quickly too! What we ordered: -Nachos: I only had one bite but they were okay, kinda burnt. The steak on it was good though. Nothing special. 3/5 -Revuelta Pupusas: These were really good! The cortida added a great tang and crunch and the salsa was delicious. There was a good ratio of cheese, meat, and masa as well! I also enjoyed the bit of crispiness! 4/5 Overall, this is a pretty cool place to grab food and drinks! They've got a versatile menu and cool vibes. We also heard from one of the workers that there's 2 other bars and a distillery located within the venue as well so I'll definitely be checking those out next time!

Definitely worth it! The vibes are unmatched. It's a unique blend of "top notch cocktail crafting" and "beer and a hot pretzel after work." You can dress up, you can dress down, it's very 'just be yourself' which I love. I've literally had caviar AND hot dogs there in the same night at an event. They know how to blend high/low. Incredible knowledge and ingredients but not snooty patootie. Super inclusive and fun, with cool popups and events happening all the time. It's a full bar so you can get any cocktail you would normally order if you're keeping it simple, or beer, wine, boilermakers, etc. There's a span of offerings and price points, so something for everyone. (Also really good N/A cocktails!) The menu is super inventive and creative! And the cocktail menu changes out every so often so there are new things to try. This area is vintage vibes and Baby Gee speaks it fluently. Really cool decor, curated by the owners who design everything from the playlist to the cocktails to the invention of never-before-seen flavors and shapes of jello shots. Try the Baby Gee appletini while you're there. Mezcal, tequila, sake appletini you ask?? Yes. Trust. And get a hot dog. Do it.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

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. There's a dress code so be advised. What I found out was the entrance of the speakeasy was through a phone booth that next to the pool table of Roxanne's bar. 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. They're very strict with the time limits. Once it's reached they'll let you know.

We stopped by late Saturday night and were able to snag an immediate walk-in at the bar at Hao Peng You, which is the intimate speakeasy portion of Midnight Oil. The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

Drinks: * Hua Sheng (3/5): Nutty aftertaste, but the alcohol flavor was pretty strong. * Salty Plums (4/5): My favorite out of everything we ordered, super refreshing. * Jasmine Milk Tea Coma (3/5): My second favorite, but I wish the strawberry flavor came through more.

I was able to make a late dinner reservation for Saturday night about a week prior - reservations are definitely encouraged, as the bar was full the entire time we were there. Gaining access to the speakeasy was actually not that difficult, just ring the doorbell of the ornate floral door, beneath the lone lantern in the alley behind El Barrio Cantina. Parking though was a nightmare. I only realized when paying the bill that the two establishments are one and the same, and I could have very likely parked in the designated spots for El Barrio customers. The whole bar is a mood - lighting is dim and you don't get to see much beyond your table, which is good for those seeking privacy. One thing to note is that because the dining space is so small and intimate, it does get quite loud. The appetizers we tried were all good, with izakaya flare as promised. The charred edamame was extremely addicting, smothered in garlic soy and just the right amount of spicy from chili arbor. The Okonomi corn dog was a clever spin on okonomiyaki, bonito flakes and all. Finally, both the Yuzu and Wagyu rolls were fresh and perfect size bites of their respective fishes. I wish I could have sampled their entire cocktail menu! All the drinks sounded novel and unique, and featured their specially cut crystal clear ice. My Yuzu Strawberry blended the smokiness of the mezcal with the tangy sweetness from yuzu and strawberry perfectly. And the Peated Highball I ordered as my nightcap has to be my new favorite drink, adding a boldness to the Japanese cocktail staple. Only reason I took a star off my review was the abrupt service. Our waitress was not subtle about needing our table for the next reservation, asking to clear our plates when there was still food on it, and closing our check early to the point that the bartender had to come and charge us again for our last drink. Despite that, still strongly suggest checking out Tokyo Noir. Long Beach sadly doesn't have many speakeasies, but the ones that are here are at the top of their game.

It did look quite busy on the patio when we checked in with the hostess. We were informed that it would prob be about 20 minutes or so for a table and if we wanted to wait at the bar. Exactly what we did. Bar area had maybe 5/6 hi top chairs that look onto the bar. Gabriel and Francisco who were working was knocking the drinks out one by one. Sitting there and just watching them create magic for everyone, it was quite amusing. Seeing how it's made and presented with precise detail, it was an art. While waiting for the table we started off with the raspberry lychee martini and the spicy margaritas. Both were great. The right amount of kick with each sip. Gabriel was knocking them out one by one and man was he busy. Fransisco took are of us while we were eating which we ended up just having our dinner at the bar instead. The last time I remembered the chicken Parmesan which was excellent. So we started off with the grilled prawns as a starters. Five prawns in a skewers and grilled with a delicious sauce accompanied. It was tasty and quite delicious. Decent size and meaty for each bite. Entrees was a little mishap as our meal was mistakenly given to the party next to us which they enjoyed. Honesty mistake but we laughed it off. Kitchen was informed and a rushed was put on our order. We weren't in a rush so it was fine with us. They apologized and graciously offered us a dessert after dinner. Something simple but very graceful for the honest mistake. Entrees, the wild mushrooms pasta which was quite tasty and pretty decent in size. The cream sauce which wasn't too over powering the meal was great. Each bite was very tasty. Then there was the chicken Parmesan which why we were here and expecting. The last visit it was excellent with grilled broccolini, slices of tomatoes on top and mozzarella cheese and onto spaghetti pasta. It was great. Thinking it would be the same this time which it wasn't. This visit, it was just served with squash pasta and buffalo mozzarella on top. Honestly it wasn't what I expected, somewhat of a little disappointed. Chicken was good don't get me wrong. But the hot meat with sauce and then you have literally COLD squash pasta paired with it. It was a little underwhelming. Overall, we still had a nice experience. The place was pretty full and of course the lakers were on so it was fun seeing everyone cheering them on. Bar seating for a meal was great as we had fun conversations with both Gabriel and Francisco. Plus they were cranking them drinks out one by one. Excellent in what they do. The drinks were great, grilled prawns and wild mushrooms pastas were excellent. Chicken parm, this time was a miss. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and cocktails. Also the dessert, highly recommend the Cinnabon with vanilla ice cream. Wow, it went down very well. Hoping next time will outdo this.

    This is where all the cool kids go for drinks…read more You are - literally- at the top of a classic building in Long Beach. The vibe is upscale mellow. The drinks are crazy pricey. But , what the heck, it's very cool

    I would like to start off by saying this place has an amazing view and the hotel lobby is…read morebeautiful. The staff, however, was just okay. My cousins and I got there around 9 p.m. on a Friday. It was steady, but when we went up for our first drinks the bar itself wasn't very busy--there were maybe two people in front of us and two behind us. I mention this because it matters for context. My cousin ordered two drinks, one for him and one for his girlfriend. We were talking and at some point I looked at his girlfriend's drink, which was already about halfway empty, and noticed a fairly large crack running across one side of the glass, right above where the remainder of her drink was. I said, "Hey, your glass has a significant crack in it," and she laughed it off and said she noticed and was just drinking from the other side. I told her she absolutely should not do that because there was already a chip near the rim and there could potentially be tiny pieces of glass in the drink. I also told her we needed to bring it to the bartender's attention because that's a legitimate safety issue. Someone who isn't paying attention could cut their lip or potentially ingest glass. By the time we went back up to the bar, it had gotten quite a bit busier. We explained what happened to the bartender and he asked if we got the drink there. We said yes and pointed out the female bartender who had originally served us. He asked what the drink was, walked away, served a few other people, and eventually brought us a replacement. We were completely patient. We understood that the bar was busier at this point, we weren't rude, and we weren't upset about having to wait. What bothered me was when he handed us the replacement and said, "Next time you need to let us know when it happens." That response really rubbed me the wrong way. It's not the customer's responsibility to inspect a glass before drinking from it, and obviously we would have said something sooner if we had noticed it sooner. Considering the bar wasn't particularly busy when the drink was originally made, I was also surprised that a crack that significant wasn't noticed before the glass was served. I did take a photo of the bartender afterward because I wanted to make sure I could identify the person involved when I brought the interaction to management's attention. I spoke with the person who identified himself as the manager and explained what happened. He said he would speak with the bartender, but the response also felt somewhat dismissive given that my concern was ultimately about customer safety and how the situation was handled. Accidents happen and glasses crack. Had the drink simply been replaced and the concern acknowledged appropriately, I honestly probably wouldn't be writing this review. It was the combination of being served a visibly cracked glass, being told that we should have notified them sooner, and then feeling like the concern wasn't taken particularly seriously when I brought it to management that ultimately prompted me to leave an honest review. Beautiful property and amazing view, but the way this situation was handled definitely left a bad impression.
