The dranks be drankin'! But let's start at the beginning. Only discovered this place because I was eating next door. Before going in I drank a drink at the liquor store next door trying to save money in expensive bar drinks. While waiting outside I saw several of the drunkest people of my life walk into the bar. Usually I see people walk out of bars like this never multiple walking in. It was also just passed 9:30pm at this time. Nice inside I ordered two Green Tea shots. Trying to keep it healthy. It is cash only so I pulled out two twenty dollar bills expecting it to be around $30+ dollars. It was $10 for the two drinks. I was shocked. And the drinks were very strong at that. You know they are going to be strong when while the bartender is pouring the drinks she is looking around not really paying attention to the amount leaving the bottle. It's also the type of place where everyone is friendly and probably can easily have a conversation with anyone. But also the place where I don't personally feel inspired to have a conversation with most of them. The few conversations I was pulled in to were a bit beyond uncouth for me. But no judgement. Anyway just for the price of the drinks and friendly atmosphere I give the place the full rating. It's noisy inside and has two pull tables. But definitely the type of place you can make what you will out of. And I heard from a reliable source Conan O'Brien has hung out there which I would never have expected. Though you didn't hear it from me! read more

When you think of dive bars, 3636 is the spot you always imagine. The beers are cheap, the service is friendly, and the pool is great. The vibe is classic dive - everyone is enjoying their own moment and no one judges. It's the easiest place to be yourself on broadway. AND - Now they take card, which is a wild change from the cash-only dive everyone cherishes. If you come on the right night, Ricky's street tacos are one of the best late night pick-me-ups you can find on broadway (burger is solid too). I wish they had a dart board, but the pros out weigh the cons. Great for quick beers and cocktails. read more

Man, I have loved this joint FOREVER, but... the staff lately. The Tuesday night bartender is the JAM. He plays 80's/90's hip hop. Always has good vibes. But, whoever the Gal they have working Saturday nights. FORGET ABOUT IT. DONT GO. SAVE YOUR MONEY. I ordered 6 tacos, $14, I put a $20 on the bar. the taco guy then came about 10mins after we ate and demanded payment. ..... UM DID THE BAR NOT PAY YOU? we left you a $6 tip on 6 tacos. We also ordered 4 modelos and tipped a solid $20 on that. The bartender girl, not only gave the taco guy shit about getting his money, but gave us more shade than an umbrella for being in the building, Other patrons were asking her why she was being so salty. id think twice. The tacos are nice at 1am, Tuesdays tunes are fire, but the staff otherwise is SHIT. Trash. 0 stars, If they didn't have pool I'd def not recommended. read more

Great place for some pool shooting and alcoholic beverages . We played for a few hours and had some good drinks.

This place is super divey but great if you want to play pool and just drink. Great tacos and great music. It's a cool hangout!

This was my kinda bar. It's basically your local hole-in-the-wall bar. I loved it. I didn't stay for long 'cause I had to be somewhere else, but I didn't feel or get any of the negativity that I saw in some of the reviews. Having said that, yes, this bar is probably not for everybody. It's dark and dingy, it's cash-only, and it's seen some stuff. So, there. If you just wanna chill, and you got nowhere to go for the next 2 hours, swing on by. read more

I went Tuesday night and there was a man bartending of extraordinary stature. He was very friendly and extremely charismatic, came to my beaconing call with his luxurious red mane flowing behind him. WOW WOW WOW. Drinks were on point, conversation spoke directly to my soul in ways I couldn't even imagine. He gets me... read more

We were helping a friend move and waiting for him to sign his lease, so we stopped into this bar to kill time. What a fun dive bar! I'd probably spend wayyy too much time here if I lived close by. - Cash only - Drinks are cheap AF. Two well drinks cost us $13. - No draft beer, just bottles, but coldest bottle of Stella I've ever held in my hand! - Bartender was super nice and offered us little styrofoam bowls of potato chips - Some patrons brought their dog, who slept under the barstools - Pool tables and jukebox - They don't serve food, but you can bring in any food you'd like. The men next to me at the bar had a pizza, and another group ordered from the Thai restaurant next door and the server delivered it directly to them at the bar. I don't know how this place is at night, but it was a fun, friendly crowd during the day on a Sunday. I hope to come back! read more

Sarah is a great bartender! Also the bartender who works on Fridays is really friendly! Love this dive style bar... if you are in Long Beach come here read more

Came to play pool on a friday night, our bartender Sara was awesome! Cheap drinks, cheap tacos, and a great crowd.

The bartender Katie, don't get me started....i ordered 2 Coors lights, she was stumbling to begin with and it took her FOREVER. I felt like I didn't need to tip but then she told the door man we had to leave bc we didn't tip. This girl was belligerent drunk and disrespectful. Hope they get rid of her. Bottom line. read more

Love love love 36!!! Great bar, great drinks, great bartenders, good people and great times.

Friday night bartender Sarah is rad ! Good vibes and great music will be back again everyone was super kind and generous

Sickest bar on broadway, great place to play pool and crack em. Staff is great and Ricky's tacos late night are fire

*cash only bar* Exactly what you expect a dive bar to be. Dimly lit, touch tunes, pool tables (1$ in quarters per game) cheap drinks and a good time. Stopped by for a bit but if I lived near by I'd be a regular for sure read more

Went to this bar for the first time and a "person" (using term loosely) was very friendly to the young lady checking IDs at the front . however once she entered the bar this same person asked me if I wanted to buy a g*n. mind you I never spoke nor do i know this person. which doesn't matter the statement was obscured. The statement felt targeted, let's note that plenty of people walking both in and out the bar yet he never asked this same question to them this Made me feel uncomfortable and the safety of this bar is little to none. Suggesting that if you are a person of color there is plenty of other places in long beach one could select from. read more

Yes I love this place I will be back again.first time for everything I love how nice an chill it is

strong drinks. cheap prices. good bartenders, especially during the day. great spot for locals or people looking for a local vibe. more of a neighborhood bar than a dive read more

Your mom comes here a lot. Don't show up unless you want to see your mom coming her. She comes often. She comes and I see her spill squirt on the tables. It's okay tho, I'm glad she comes read more

Was yelled at cussed out, and had beer thrown on me by the male bartender. exactly at last call before I could even finish my beer, proceeded by screaming get the fuck out. I am not even a drinker or problem causer, so I was in shock. My friend was trying to find her phone and was met with get the fuck out in and threats of violence by the male staff to my female friends just trying to leave . I'm in absolute shock. read more

This place is amazing! Stunning bartender, cool people, great drinks, ... You need to be here!

My husband and I had some time to kill while waiting for his car to be serviced. We decided to stop in for a drink. There are 2 pool tables available for their customers. We ordered our drinks from the bartender who was VERY nice. There was even pizza that someone ordered for the bar patrons which was very kind. We played a few games of pool and had a great time here. thanks! read more

This place reminds me of my local neighborhood bar... just situated in Long Beach. We came here for a birthday party last Saturday and had a blast! It was busy but not too crowded, they had a taco vendor (it was 3 for $5 and we got al pastor, carnitas, and pollo), and they have a Touch Tunes juke box that you can control from an app on your phone. The average drink price was $6 and compared to LA or other places in Long Beach, that's a steal. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM and a change machine for quarters. The two pool tables are 4x quarters each and they seem to have just bought new cues for their customers. It's a medium sized sports-neighborhood-dive bar. The bartender Missy was amazing and took care of everyone there. They don't really have a parking lot to accommodate their customers and it's mainly street parking, but we didn't have any trouble finding parking in the residential area a couple streets over. read more

Fun little dive bar. Everyone super friendly, bartender was great. Great vibe all around. One of the better dive bars in Long Beach

It was my first time at one of these dive bars and definitely not my last. After dinner, we wanted to get a drink close by and found this little one right down the street. It was nearly the end of the Super Bowl game so it was definitely crowded. Although it was hard to flag down a bartender, with the help of some locals, we were able to get drinks. I got a bottle of 805 and she got some Jameson mixed with Ginger Ale. The total came out to be around $13, which wasn't too bad. You have the little bar area on one side, along with a couple of TVs and then you have the other side that has two pool tables, a couple arcade games, and bar stools that cover up the little table around the edge of the bar, with another TV in the back corner of the bar. Definitely a spot if you're a local. I would check this place out on a slower night. It's definitely an intimate setting with plenty of seats. Be sure to note that this is a CASH ONLY bar. Bartenders are very friendly as well, so make sure to tip well. read more

Once in a while, I like to play Pool. The Thirty Six Thirty Six Club has good Pool tables. In my experience, customer service is friendly, and good. I don't drink alcohol so I can't tell you about the club's drinks, and I've yet to even look at the menu for food options so I can't tell you about the club's food. Still, it seems like management makes sure to take real good care of the Pool areas and equipment. Each Pool game costs a dollar. You must wear a mask to enter. read more

One of the worst customer experiences I've ever had at a bar. My wife and I walked into the bar and we were treated with absolute disrespect. We felt uncomfortable and the atmosphere was awful. I'm not sure if the older lady at the bar was racist or if she was just having a bad day. The crowd is older not diverse and the service was terrible. Will never return. Honestly don't know how they are still even in business. We walked out to the bartender saying "good choice." Don't waste your time at this low scale ba. read more

Dope local bar Pours are heavy and drinks are cheap! The Samoan Security guard Geaux is cool as heck! read more

This is a hidden divey gem of a bar! The bar is basically one large room with two sections--one with the bar and the other with the pool tables. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there were maybe 15 people there just lounging, drinking and watching TV, which is a nice mellow spot to get a buzz on and hang with some friends. As a beer drinker, I didn't think they had the best selection, (mostly american brews and hey, I'm a beer snob), but Stella hit the spot. My boyfriend ordered a vodka cocktail which was strong and cheap! This is definitely a nice and quaint local bar. I would recommend this as a good day-drinking spot. There is only street parking, so evening parking maybe problematic. read more

3636 !!! I usually don't write a bad review especially in my city but I'm absolutely disgusted I'm having a cocktail (pun intended) because i just almost swallowed a damn roach I'm completely mortified and the lack of concern from the bartender was even more disturbing Ether way maybe they should keep the lights on for patrons if they are gonna be serving unwanted protean w/ your drinks F****gross plz do better !!!!!! Clean it up 3636 read more

My Cuban husband and I have been coming to this bar for years, since it's two blocks away from our home. Unfortunately, yesterday my husband had a disgraceful incident with the bartender with short, brown hair and a rude patron. They told my husband and his Latino friends "immigrants are not allowed here". So please avoid this racist, anti-immigration bar. Many better bars with a better vibe on Broadway. read more

The bartenders make strong drinks. My favorite drinks are Lemon Drops and Bloody Mary's. The prices of most drinks are average for comparable bars on West Broadway. Some patrons are quite rude so it's best to come with friends to avoid the hostile environment created by truculent regulars who like to insult single, middle- aged women. I have been frequenting this bar for many years because I like the ambience and can ignore some of the alcoholics who mainly show up at night. read more

Drinks were weak and the regulars bully you via the music playlist. We put in $10 into the iTunes player and only heard $3 worth of music due to trash 80's club music the regulars were priority plaing. We didn't even bother to get a refund for the music we just left. The pool play was decent so you get one star for that but me and my sister will never be coming back. Happy 35th Birthday Jess read more

The tall guy bartender is always really nice and attentive. It's really the people that come in here late. A dredge of Long Beach.

This place ROCKS! - Walked in on a sleepy Sunday afternoon- every one in the bar turned around and said "Hey'"! Two regulars scooted down to make space for my husband and I so that we could squeeze in. Very friendly vibe. Not sure where the dive bar review came in. I would LOVE to live in this gorgeous neighborhood! As for the bar itself - it is pristine! Duh it is intentionally old style! This is place is in a word - awesome. It is not some milianale wannabe- wish I COULD drink. This is a serious- get down and DRINK honest to God - no apology B-a-r. I loved it! read more
