The most neatest thing you could find at the Promenade ! A QR code Potty! It was new to me , I was actually hesitant to try it since it is a facility right on the side walk. Surprisingly you use your phone snap the QR Code and the door opens and to my surprise so clean . Everything is a wave of your hand and what a relief it is! This one was located at the Harvey Milk Promenade Park. Very convenient if you are at Gold Bahn The Promenade is Cool. Lots of stores and eating places . I recommend trying this when you see it. It's called "throne" . read more

This was a really interesting area of Long Beach. Somehow I have never been in this area and found it accidentally. I wanted to check out Broken Spirits which is right next to the 2 hour free parking garage. Parking is by Long Beach Blvd with entrances on 3rd and 4th street. The promenade itself is a 4 block pedestrian walkway full of gorgeous murals, pleasant landscaping, and an odd QR code enabled toilet. It's interesting and fun to walk. You can get some great views of historic architecture such as the Middough Building. Sad part is on a Saturday it felt like I was in an apocalypse movie. Nobody anywhere. Was a total ghost town. Restaurant we ate at was great but totally empty. Was odd. I assume night time might be busier? I will definitely be back for Broken Spirits and curious to see what else is around. read more

The promenade is very cute and cool. Great restaurants and walkable. Homelessness is the major issue. The last time I was there someone was having a mental episode. So, not safe at all. read more

The promenade is a gorgeous landscaped park with beautiful artistic paintings on the wall and filled with a great restaurants. It wasnt any event going on then it wasnt busy the way that it was used to be! No live music or crowded place! The near by parking was free for 2 hours! But make sure to read the signs before enter! We entered the wrong one first which it was $35! Its a great place to hangout after your dining experience! Beautifully decorated with a meaningful paintings that every piece make you think about it! Great experience! Ive never seen this place this much quiet but no matter what its busy or quiet The Promenade is one of my favorite place to hangout! read more

Lots of places on promenade. Nothing really stands out. Some expensive. Not impressed.

I love running along the Promenade. There's something peaceful about it, I don't know what it is, because occasionally you'll have to dodge a rogue skateboard, avoid a cat call, or watch your step for a multitude of reasons. That aside -- I find it pretty comforting to jog along here. If I'm out on a run, I usually find myself looping around and doing four runs along here. Convenient dining. Nice for a stroll too. 2022: 58/100 read more

I grew up in Long Beach and moved away from these area. As a kid, who doesn't realize what the world was like except fun, music, farmer market, and being safe. Went back seeing this area again, for Thursday Night Market. 1st impression was sad, homeless, smelly urine, empty..not impressed. Not many vendors maybe because it's a Thursday? Nice music thou Food truck smell good. Free 2 hr parking on 3rd street. Many improvement with apartment retail buildings so residents have plenty of options to shop and eat. Very convenient. However, while walking, mind was thinking I will not pay 3k rent here to smell the urine, unclean, and feeling unsafe. read more

The Promenade in Long Beach is definitely not the same as The Promenade in Temecula (which is an actual shopping mall) lol... I didn't get to walk around as I only came specifically for Loose Leaf Boba Co. to get boba!! Located on E. 3rd Street, this Promenade has a public parking garage right next to Loose Leaf (from the back side). There are EV charging stations and the first 2 hours are free, no validation needed. I came on a Sunday late afternoon and was able to find a spot right when I got in. I didn't pay attention much to what was there but I did see Ross, The Crab Shack and Loose Leaf Boba Co. There were tables set up on the street right outside Loose Leaf with string lights hanging above them. It looked like there were more shops and restaurants right across the street. Looks like a cool place to explore and chill if you happen to find yourself in the area. It was a short visit so I can't say much about it, except that it appeared well kept, and people were being respectful and social distancing. I will be coming back another day to see what else I can get myself into (fine dining perhaps? Or maybe shoe shopping...ha!!). Grab some boba while you're here! I'll be hitting up Loose Leaf again no doubt!! 4 stars for now, until I return and see what I missed this time around. read more

Love to go there there are so many things & places to eat there plus it's a beautiful site to see

Sitting inside, but next to the patio at Table 301, we had a pleasant view and interesting perspective of the mural at the north end of the Promenade. That and the angled stairway from the public create the illusion of museum within rather than garage. This from the Long Beach Press- This WPA mural was created between 1936 and 1938 by artists Albert Henry King, Stanton MacDonald-Wright and Henry Nord on the facade of the old Municipal Auditorium celebrating Long Beach's love of recreational living. In 1982, the mural was relocated to its current space at 3rd Street and Promenade, where it now caps off the north end of the popular strip and sits directly in the center of Harvey Milk Park. read more

This is an amazing fun place to adventure out! I like so many restaurants! I like to walk around and check out everything! You can eat and drink and see it all read more

The Promenade is a great connecting point for downtown Long Beach, it's visitors and it's residents. Note: Fellow Yelpa Dino D. Has already covered this one extensively and I just wanted to chime in and say this place is great and more city planners and city council members should visit for ideas because this is now a bustling downtown area used by lots of people. Residents can simply go downstairs to a whole bunch of restaurants, bars, nightlife, or just take a walk down the promenade. Big win for LBC ! read more

The promenade in Long Beach. Well this place has really changed since the 80's. I remember when I was a little boy I'd come threw here a lot I'd take bus to here to go to Long Beach mall with my friends. Then we would go there promenade to get to shoreline village. Now the place is more up to date. Looks really nice. read more

What a festive night for NYE. The Promenande closes a couple blocks off from the public so you have a walkway access of restaurants, bars and a club. For $40/person, it wasn't too bad considering how expensive NYE events are nowadays. The party started at 8pm. From 8-10 it was't too crowded yet, but as 10:15ish, 30ish comes, you suddenly get people here and there. This year, was definitely different than my usual rave NYE, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. There are three stages along the streets. Each stage with a different theme / audience vibe (Rock, House, and Pop). The stages were pretty far apart that the music didn't coincide with one another. Getting drinks was super easy as there was practically a booth every step you take. Bathrooms were a bit tricky. Of course there were portal potties, but who wants them anyways? Best chance of going to a bar and using their bathroom. Go early to prevent the rush. Overall, it didn't take long to walk the whole blocks. It was a bit dull as it wasn't super festive. As I had high expectations, I was assuming more grand. But, hey, for a moment, I felt as if I was in NYC or something. Biggest let down was the actual countdown. Very disorganized and not synchronized. Timing seemed off than what it was. Midnight hits. No confetti or fireworks :( I guess the fireworks was more towards the Bay which we couldn't even see from here. Lesson learned to take my NYE somewhere else. Lastly.... Happy 2016 :) read more

Who in Long Beach and can help me out here? We not remember back in the day when Long Beach still had a two-story mall? We used to have a tram that would bring you all the way from the mall down to the really cool glass elevator it would drop you off at Shoreline Village. Them was the days. read more

People choose the strangest things to hate on. The promenade is pedestrian and bike friendly, dotted with bars and restaurants, has poop bags for your pup, and is bookended between a parking lot that is free for 2 hours during off peak times and a bike parking structure. There is plenty of transportation including a free shuttle, a metro rail line, and every bus under the sun, and bustling Pine Ave is just a block away. There is also a small park, perfect for blanket lounging. What exactly do people want? This place is great. read more

Home to the excellent annual Promenade Beer and Wine Festival* (mid-fall), Congregation* (free trivia Sunday), Harvelle's* (one of Long Beach's best music venues, home to the Dirty Little Secrets burlesque group), Michael's Pizzeria* (Zagat voted best pizza in the country), beautiful Wokcano*, beer-friendly Beachwood* (*all of which I've reviewed) and more, it's a six block upscale strip of new condos, restaurants, and bars serving as an oasis in relatively ghetto downtown LBC, joining the Convention area of Ocean Blvd with City Place, the EBT card carrying, jaywalking phoenix that rose from Long Beach Plaza's ashes. read more

I haven't been out here in awhile now. I spent the 4th out here with a friend. We had a great time. Had a nice walk. Lots of people. Definitely will be back. Parking was crazy because of the holiday but other than that its all good. read more

A strip of several blocks covering an area of Dowtown long beach filled with condos, bars & restaurants with alfresco dining. Some notable restaurants and bars that line the promenade are Beachwood Brewery, Congregation Ale House, and The Stave. The area feels like a mini corridor from Ocean Blvd. into the heart of Downtown Long Beach. read more

This is a great place to walk down. It's not super long, about 3 blocks, but I love walking through it on my way to the gym or something. It's one of the nicer places of Long Beach! read more

This area has tons of potential. However, the lack of security, the crazy homeless people on every corner, or the loud obnoxious bus drivers and bar goers are a few of the reasons I would not recommend this area. As a resident, you can expect to be harassed by the homeless, belligerent, and police whom are more concerned with standing outsider bars and people watching than cleaning up the gang bangers in parks everyday of the week. Living in the condos off of the Promenade has it's perks but with the current mix of nuisances I can assure you that you will be pulling out your hair a couple days a week when trying to get to sleep. The property management companies in this area need to reconsider their priorities or else they will find property values starting to drop quickly. Safety first should be first priority. read more
