All the negative reviews are from pretentious idiots, which should tell you something. It's a cheap dive bar with great beer, great food, and interesting people. If you're looking for some high class, fine dining experience, this ain't the place for you. If you want a cold beer, a great burger, and a chill atomsphere, this is your jam. I come here after I play hockey. It's awesome. read more

Worst place ever. Looks run down like if we were in a zombie apocalypse. So dark. The waitress was nice. We got our food. That after we stood at their food door while the man was there. We had to ask is this where we get our food. He said yes. We stood some more. Ok, can we order. That's when he took our order. Hot dogs and fries and their famous ice cold beer. Beer was good. Food not. I will accept the dogs but frys were raw. We asked well done. The food service was not good alway. The male had no personally what so ever. When we got the food we sent them back. He takes our fries to the waitress and said "I don't understand, they said well done but they're telling me they are not"she tried some fries and said" I think they are good but make them a new batch". Looking upset he did. He came back. Gave them and left. Still raw and looked burned. I know bad oil when I see it. Now I'm upset. I drank my beer. Part of my dog I ate and left the fries. I've been to many great places, great deals worth great beer and food with no lip on how we want our food. We paid for it! Over all the place matched that crappy food and service. I'd give a "D+"/"D". That's because of the beer. Other than that. Was a waste of time there. I don't do dive bars much. I'm not high maintenance but I'm not eating trash nor will I sit in it. read more

See all

Recently discovered this place and its awesome!! The schooners are the bomb! Coldest beers I've ever had! Two of those and youre done. Cash only!!! read more

This is my go-to bar with my guy friends. You can't go wrong with a ice cold schooner. Yes, I know the bar is dirty and divey. I don't mind it, where else can I go without being judged wearing my gym attire? read more

Scooners of sculpin. Its hard to go wrong with 36 ounces for less than $10. Always dark, always welcoming, it doesnt get much more divey than this. Eventually I will try the food but the beer is why Im here! read more

A friend brought me here for "the best hamburger in Long Beach" and it might have been. Cold beer, a wide variety and really nice people working there, especially Sara, our bar tender. Dive bar? Sure, but probably the best in town. read more

I recently came here again and didn't realize how kick-ass this place was until the last time. Mega-ICE COLD (beer has icy chunks) for CHEAP!!! Jukebox, inexpensive photo booth, and cool unpretentious beertenders. Cool ass place for sure! read more

BEST BAR FOOD, EVAAARRRR!!! Good cold schooners-this place only serves beer and wine. No hard liquor. However, if you are looking to wind down after a long day with an ice cold beer and amazing bar food-then this is the place for you! A little small hole in the wall but definitely worth a lunch break or casual after work get together. Everything is reasonably priced and wont break your wallet. While not the classiest place, staff is friendly and you will feel nothing but welcomed. Great jukebox, pool tables, and a shuffleboard table in the back. Of course, all LA teams are on the TV. Cash only-but there is (of course) a pricey ATM located inside! read more

i finally made it here after living in the LB for 7 years and i loved it! it is exactly what you'd expect! large, FREEZING cold cheap beers and some pretty delicious bar food! i can't wait to go back!! read more

Great dive bar, the best bar food you can get. The cook is one of the coolest guys. Makes a mean hot wing. The burgers, fries, and nachos are pretty good, too. There's always a schooner special for $6.50 or $7 (unless they run out of that beer). My only issue with this place is that one of the bartenders is the rudest I've ever come across. THE RUDEST. I can't emphasize that enough. Skip her. Also, cash only read more

Nothing like a big,fat schooner of ice-cold beer! Until the nice bartender brings that schooner to you and it tastes like the cheap dish soap that they use to "wash" said schooners. Not only does it ruin the taste, it flattens the beer. Service was great. People were nice,but the beer killed the experience. And it's a beer bar. Two thumbs down. read more

The Place to Be for a Cold Cheap Beer. The Monthly 32 Oz Beer of the Month Special they have is my Favorite, most of the time is great beer, and others is new beer I've tried, but for $6.50 or whatever it is, is perfect. Besides that they also have tons of awesome beers on tap. Food is great if you have the right cook. Tons of pool tables. The only thing bad about it, is the picnic tables and the small dirty smelly bathrooms, but you don't go to a place like TI's for the bathroom and the tables..... You go to enjoy a great Cold Brew. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try since we live close by and have read good reviews about it. We went there last night and it was true what I read - their beers are the coldest beer in town and pretty cheap for the amount they give you. I recommend their chili cheese fries; they we're by far one of the best chili cheese fries I've had. If you find yourself bored on a Thursday night and feel like having an icy cold beer or two, I highly recommend to give this place a try. I'm going back for sure. read more

32oz schooner of tecate (on tap?!) !! salted rim! delicious fries! delicious nachos! delicious guacamole! pool tables! across the street from the flite room! all great things, if you ask me. read more

Usually a great spot after a good ole LBCC win!!!! Cold cold booze and yummy appetizers!! The loaded fries are great unless, you're counting calories. read more

Awesome taps...coldest beer around. Huge 32oz drafts for 5 bucks! The place is a bit run-down, but the food is decent and the bartender is hot. read more

Friendly and helpful service from both the bartender and fry cook. Cold beer at great prices. Friendly crowd and very good juicy burgers cooked to order. Best of all its close enough so that I can walk to and from. read more

Feeling Thirsty? Long day putting up with BS? A nice cold 32oz always hits the spot well atleast for me. LoL and im not drinking to my poportions, thats when things get interesting pounding 2 schooners sitting on a bench listening to tunes waiting for a burger and fries to feed the bear mode. Yeah, the outside isnt too appealing but its got character, and the peeps are chill. You go outside in the back by the alley to smoke and look at all the rusty bikes that stocked piled next door. Pure scenary. But after 2 schooners everything looks different. Enjoy it and live it up. read more

This is THE dirtiest and filthiest bar in Long Beach. Kitchen makes lousy food and it's cash only. Use the bathroom at work or home before arriving cause they are nasty! read more

Really casual, cool environment, but must pay cash only. Their ATM wasn't working, so that was inconvenient. Pretty laid back bar.

Super chill dive bar, love the ice cold schooners and the yummy jalapeno poppers. Parking is okay but the restrooms are terrible.

Best cold beer ever! Yes, the bathrooms need work, but after drinking a few cold ones you seem to forget about that. What can I say about the food? ummm best food ever! The wings are so yummy the ranch dressing is a little runny, but its still good. Patty melts are to die for. If you haven't been to this place you should really try it you wont be disappointed. read more

Frosty cold beer in huge schooners, delicious $1 tacos every day, laid back vibe, lots of TV's, friendly bartenders. Don't come here looking for fancy anything. My kinda bar. read more

Great place to shoot pool, watch a game and unwind. Great beer selection and friendly bartenders.

I honestly come here for the food. Onion rings to burgers. Never disappoints. Then drowning all of it down with some Guinness. Always a good time. They also got a dispenser with funny looking condoms in the bathroom. Don't buy it for use pls. read more

I love this dive bar! Perfect combination of ICE Cold Beer and Great Bar Food! If you're looking for a place that a good selection of Draft beer, and your a bit hungry, give this place a try. read more

This is a good place to grab an ICE COLD beer and play some pool. Its beer and cash only but everyone has a good time. Staff is friendly. Dive bar feel. read more

Good pub, Sarah is really beautiful... Very pleasant as well, was offered VIP treatment. I will be coming back

Good local dive bar with GREAT burgers and fries. Beer is always frosty cold and the daytime vibe is mellow. Never been in the evening so I won't speak to that, but it's a great afternoon drinking hole. I've recommended it to friends many times and visited it just as often. Pastrami burger and fries with an ice cold brew hits the spot everytime. read more

Love this bar great place to hang out shoot some pool and enjoy a schooner. Love the juke box here u an find great music. Haven't tried there food but when I go back read more

ok .. . I am a beer fly so finding this lil place was a dream for me. It might help if the place bought a few stools that werent broken but once youve had a beer ya dont even notice. AWESOME selection of beer, great staff and cool people to chill with even if meeting them for the first time. read more

This place is great! I love going here during football season. Beer is at about 29 degrees and it goes down so smooth. Waitresses are friendly as well. 3 pool tables to play some drunk pool. About 6 or 7 lcd's. Food is pretty darn good as well. I've had their burgers. Their fries and onion rings are outstanding! Enjoy! read more

Wings, onion rings and burgers are delicious.... Ok pretty much everything is delicious. Their bathroom is gross and always flooded. Nice cold beer (my favorite) When I want a tasty cheat meal... This is my place!! read more

Best fucken wings and coldest beer. They only have one flavor of wings but come in different hotness. Get then hot. Beer is always at 28F. Get the schooner. read more

Terrible service. Unless you're a regular and are a male forget about even getting a refill here. Never coming back.

Awesome place I'm basically a regular there great food and cold beer the only thing I have to say that was a bit annoying was their security they had that night he needed to take a chill pill with his this is your second warning we didn't even get a first lol but for everything he had a complaint no leaning on the tables don't grab on the punching bag can't do this don't do that we where like bro take a chill pill .. read more

Coldest beer in town! So cold that even Bud Light tastes good. Huge schooners that require two hands to drink. Also a decent variety of beers on tap. They have what I believe to be the best nachos anywhere, carne asada, chili beans, jalapenos.... Great service behind the bar and in the kitchen. The only negative is that I think the Juke box only has two CDs in it, Guns & Roses and Mettalica, its all I've ever heard it spit out. But drink a schooner or two and it all starts to sound good. read more

Remember that dive you and your frat boy friends went in college, the one with the cheap ice cold beer, crappy tables and the stench of stale booze in the air? Thirsty Isle is that place. Despite being a block away from the local community college, T.I is not overrun with college kids. Think of it as a locals' hole-in-the-wall. Plenty of beer varieties on tap, and some light snack food you can order from a side door. Come on a Thursday night and get a $4 pitcher or a schooner, and stay for an extended game of shuffleboard. You'll be glad you did. read more

Six dollar schooner specials and it was New Castle Werewolf tonight, talk about a DEAL! Wasn't crowded when I went, fairly crappy pool tables with busted pool sticks but when you get the buzzin' who gives a toot! Missing easy shots and blaming it on the alcohol when you actually suck at pool is half the Fun! read more

My husband and I have been broke down with no idea where to go hang out while truck in shop for awhile 5 days that is. We were at the pub and met a guy luis who told us about this dive bar where he cooks. "Thirsty isle" We Loved the place and the food was great grub along with friendly staff. A great big hug to the cook luis for hanging with us and steering us to this place. Anytime you want to come visit us you are welcome even thou it's Arizona lol. If you own or work at this place please tell luis thank you it's never fun being broke down in a place you don't know. read more
