    Every year we try to make an adventure out of trying Long beaches holiday bar menus. Our first adventure for this year was the Stache. I've always seen this place but was hesitant to try it because it's so hard to find parking. Luckily, I'm off on Mondays so we were able to come early enough to snag a front spot. We were met with a friendly hello as soon as we walked in. I felt so at ease. Ordered our drinks and some fried pickles from next-door. I really love that their partnered with the burger joint next-door so that you can actually get some real food while you're having a drink. The drinks were amazing. I love their Christmas menu. It had so many options and different variety of liquors for their drinks. Right now, they are very spruced out for the holidays, which is really fun. Again the bartender was amazing super friendly super nice very welcoming. My boyfriend who doesn't really care for bars love the place and love the vibe and definitely wants to come back when we haven't eaten so that we can enjoy a drink and a burger. Don't miss out worth the trouble of trying to find parking (the reason why I didn't give him five stars)

    Glad I wandered into this spot! The bartender was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the patrons were very nice also. The drinks are strong, well-crafted, and there are also creative and interesting seasonal options. I enjoyed the happy hour, which offers both food and drink specials. I ordered the chili cheese tots, and they were very enjoyable for a bar meal. The tots had actual seasoning, melty cheese, and banana peppers that added a nice kick.

    A dive bar vibe with amazing food and drinks! Bartenders were knowledgeable and super friendly. We happened to come the week they launched their new menu, so they were excited to explain all the drinks to us. Only complaint is the DJ was ridiculously loud starting at 9pm so we left to go somewhere less loud. BUT - we will absolutely be back!

    Let me start by saying I'm giving this place 5 because as far as dive bars go, this one covers all the bases! Decent food menu and the Impossible. Smashburger I got was pretty good and a happy hour special. About 6 craft beers on tap, assorted bottled, cans and full bar. I happened upon this place after dropping someone off nearby and thought I'd hangout before I had to pick them up. Prices were very affordable and they had a good mix of music set in a dark bar setting with red lights here and there. Bartenders were all friendly and my drink was good. I will make it a point to come back the next time I am in area. Oh and move the bathroom! Haha

    Went to another bar in the area that was closed for maintenance and my son's friend suggested we come here for a Smashburger. The Stache is attached to the Sideburns which makes some great burgers. This place looks like your typical bar and was very nice. The bar tender was the same girl that took our order next door and when asked, she allowed us to come over and have our food and beers here. Not a lot of people at 1 PM but that is probably a good thing :) They are very dark and the bathroom was clean. Definitely worth coming back.

    Omg! So good! The fries, the curds, the sauce, the nuggets! Wow! Just wow!

    I can't believe I haven't written a review here yet! (Thought I did!) Anyway, first came here last year for my sister's friend/band member's birthday party! (Jordan) And some of his art work was displayed for sale. It was pretty fun! The DJ booth looks cool! The giant screen allowed them to play their new music video for their band called Wamdingis! (Check them out!) That night was lit! Thank you to the bar tenders & chef! The fried cheese curds were unforgettable! Came back here another time with a girlfriend because she was sad about her guy. Anyway, we ordered the tater tots (yummy!) & some seltzer drinks. I sang a song for Karaoke night on Sunday. We also ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and added bacon! Omg! So glad we split it! That was too good! Then we bar hopped a little before going home. Tonight, I was supposed to help my sister's band with merch at the Santa Ana art walk but they finished before I got there so I turned around and went home and Lyfted here. Ordered the garlic lemon pepper wings & cheese curds! Mmmm! So good! Highly recommended! The kitchen is open until 1 or 2am! Woohoo! So this is def a 2-in-1 spot! Parking sucks on the streets so just Lyft here! Maybe I'll see you guys around!

    S*u** me O** in the shower.

    You can get food from Sideburns, which is the restaurant Nextdoor. Same owner, the drinks are epic for this year's special holiday menu. " the Naughty Lodge" the bar staff have gone all out and if you need to visit to help get in the spirit(s) of the season, the decor ready for you.

    Oh vegan chili cheese fries, how do I love thee, let me count the ways...
    Steph H.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Going strong and better than ever. The Stache has improved itself in my eyes over the past 10 years and many 4th Street Bar Crawls later. It's now become a reliable place for decent drinks, but more importantly, for their delicious vegan food, courtesy of Sideburns next door! Their vegan chili cheese fries is a must-order for me whenever I visit, and I think it's actually improved over the past few years, probably with the improvement in vegan cheese technology. I am bummed that their frosé machine seems permanently broken and I don't think they have the jukebox anymore, but it's still a fun place to hang and nosh with friends.

    Smash Burger w/ Jalapeños
    Michael H.

    I found this place after checking for a food place that opened late and had drinks! This bar is a good spot to relax and have a drink with friends. It has the local dive bar feeling and that was awesome. I ordered the Smash Burger and added jalapeños to the burger. The burger came out and the bread was soft and the burger was juicy and delicious. The burger had the fresh jalapeños which gave the burger a great spicy kick. The service was good, and we were always checked on. I believe our bartender's name was Joaquin. I would definitely come by when I am back in the area.

    Went here in a whim.. it whimsical it was!! We all watched the wizard of Oz on a lot of monitors linked together as one giant daily. This was cool ! The food was so yummy and the DRINKS! Yasss!! Bring yourself and a friend to this fun ,prompt lively space! Service was fast and jolly. I'm grateful I gave it a try I will return! Follow their IG for a heads up on what's the event of the night ! Super fun time

    Came for the food, but they had a great beer selection on draft. Got a freezing cold IPA that bit the spot. Ordered the Don Honcho burger because I was craving jalepenos. It was unique for sure. Added onion rings as well. Came out to $27 for everything. The onion rings were fire, but I literally only got 5 of them $7.50? They are a standalone item but came served with the burger, felt like I got the short end of the deal there. Also didn't come with any of the sauce it said they come with, had to ask for that. Cute little fun spot with good music too, I'll be back to give them another chance on the food :)

    No frill, easy-going bar. Crowd ranges from first-stoppers to last-rounders. Holiday set up this year is cute! No wait to get in or order drinks. Friendly bartenders and great service. Food from Sideburns NEVER disappoints. Wins all around. Except maybe parking?

    So refreshing to have late night vegan options that taste delicious There is a separate restaurant area and then the bar

    I really wanted to love this place. The vibe was fantastic...great music, a stylish ambiance, and…read morean impressive selection of specialty craft cocktails. 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.

    This is definitely a place with a very Long Beach vibe (so it really depends on what you think…read moreabout Long Beach in general). The seating is a little funky, but the drinks are solid. The food is definitely bar food that's ideal for late night eats while buzzed, and the service is fast! Food: 3.5/5 Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Overall: 4/5

    THE BLIND DONKEY IS NOT SAFE FOR TRANS PEOPLE…read more Last night (6/28) between 10-11pm, my trans boyfriend was followed into the men's bathroom by a security guard who started aggressively yelling at them for using the "wrong" bathroom. The security guard asked extremely inappropriate questions like "aren't you a lady?" and "what bathroom do you usually use?". Anytime my boyfriend responded, he yelled more and threatened to kick him out. This was a deeply upsetting situation. We were there for a friend's birthday and we left immediately after the incident. We definitely will NOT be returning to the Blind Donkey. We also suggest our queer and trans friends and community avoid this place too! The Blind Donkey needs to do better with educating and welcoming people of all genders. For good karaoke in a queer & trans friendly place, we recommend Silver Fox!

    I came here with my sister in law and one of our girlfriends on Friday night (April 10th). When we…read moregot there it was a bit crowded but hey that is the nature of the game sometimes when going out to bars. So that didn't bother me too much. Me and my girls were able to get 3 seats at the bar. Like much of the other reviews. Service was slow and it took a long time to get a drink. However, as the night went on the crowd grew bigger and there were only 2 servers so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. That alone is not why I gave this place 1 star. I have came to this bar a few times in the past. It has been a couple of years since I have been back but my past experiences had been pleasant. At first everything was cool. Even with service being slow me and my girls were just talking and vibing with each other and those around us. We met some pretty cool people there. They have a small dance floor and we had a few drinks in us so went dancing. It was a great time. We ended up getting warm from the dancing and wanted to get a breather outside. We saw the door to the patio was open and people were outside. So we walked out and were just talking. One of my crew was smoking a cigarette. Then 2 of the staff members came out furious completely bypassing the other tables of people sitting outside and came directly to us. They started screaming and cussing at us saying we weren't supposed to be outside. One of them said "isn't it obvious can't you read?!" One of my friends said "no wasn't obvious" and my sister in law was telling them to calm down and that we would go inside. She told them that they were being incredibly rude because they were people outside and we thought it was open. As we went inside they still berated us. Two grown men yelling and cussing at us now from inside the bar. So we had hand enough and talked back because we were not going to be verbally attacked at a place that we spent money and our time at. We ended up deciding to leave and as we decided to leave, they followed us out and slammed the door on us and said that we weren't allowed in. Still yelling and cussing at us through the gated door. I started filming shortly around this time because I felt unsafe. Then they started mocking us saying "now look they are going to leave us a bad review." and I said yes we are because this experience was horrifying. I asked was because of our race? (because we were a diverse group of women). It went from two grown men yelling at us to silence. I want to make this clear. Though there were other people sitting outside that night. Lighter skinned people. We were the only ones targeted. No other individual outside was treated this way and no other staff intervened. If you are a woman. If you are of color, do not come here. We are not welcome.

We did NOTHING to bother this man but he was giving the vibes that he was done with us. It could be that we were there for like the last couple of minutes or so but yeah just not good vibes. Honestly ruined the experience but the drink he made was good. I ordered the Lovefool which was yummy and the best drink that we ordered there. It wasn't too strong and had a good balance if you don't like tasting the alcohol. Despite all of that would definitely come again at the right time but mama...DO NOT GO IF ITS YOUR FIRST TIME ON A WEEKDAY
