    My favorite pic!
    Amy B.

    This place is the absolute best!! Willy welcomes you as soon as you walk in the door. Not fancy, more like a place you could go to each and every day! This was my Dad's favorite bar & I can see why!

    Ice cold beer and FOX News!

    Love this place. Real people and cold beer. Don't let the exterior scare you, it's all American.

    This has become one of my favorite bars. They have good selection of cold beers on tap. Great atmosphere, friendly people, attentive staff. What more could one ask for. Weekend bartender is amazing, she makes everyone feel welcomed and at home.

    Best. Dive. Bar. Ever. Courtney and Brian are the reason I keep coming back for some of the coldest beer in Long Beach. Well played!!!

    What a cozy, warm and friendly hole in the wall with super duper bartenders like Courtney who is just the friendliest person you will ever meet. The place has a great internet jukebox, huge shuffle board table. Plenty of intimate seating. Nice selection of taps. Plenty of parking across the street. Plenty of Outdoor seating. And free food for special events and football nights like Monday, Thursday and Sunday. What's not to like? Come join us and just relax and leave all your issues outside.

    Courtney is quite possibly thee bombest bartender out there. Not to say she's out there... but we were. Such a pleasant time at the Annex I can't really describe it other than unparalleled. If you ask her to play 311 she will.

    Great atmosphere, friendly folks and good brews on tap. Enjoy shuffle board and local news? CHECK. Like comfy seats and good conversation? CHECK. Courtney fucking rules, listen to 311 with her. Have a good time.

    It's fun because it doesn't get real crowded all the time. Hidden gem though as long as you like shuffle board and beer.

    When my life is in shambles, I love coming to V Room…read more It's a small, dark place with a jukebox to match. During one drinking session, I think I heard Sonic Reducer three times; that adds an extra star. Before we get off track, let's get back to my opening line; when my life is in shambles, I come to V Room. It's fun, it has great music and things just don't feel as bad here. My last venture to ye olde V, my roommate broke up a fight in the girls room, my friends and I drunkenly sang along to Iggy Pop, and a hipster girl was hoisted out by the straps of her 90s era child's backpack. So, all things considered, my life may be in shambles, but at least I'm not brawling in the girls room. The drinks rule and the bartenders are the BEST.

    The little red head behind the bar should not be a bartender. Her attitude is the definition of an…read moreentitled little brat. Acts as if you're the issue for coming to have a drink at "A BAR" . Eye rolls whenever anything was asked for. Went to pay & when the " tip" wasn't up to her par , she made the comment under her breath " why even **** come out cheap f**k?" Why even be a bartender if you're not going to provide a service. You don't get a tip for being terrible at your job. That's not how this works. Management will probably read this & brush it off because she'll have a lame excuse like we were the problem or needy. Nope. She is the problem. Even the regulars mentioned they can't stand when she bartends because her attitude is so terrible. Fix your system please. Get better people.
