Great lunch at Altar! Staff was unfazed by a large group. The sliders were excellent and I haven't had such well-prepared tater tots in a very long time. Great atmosphere, very welcoming. read more

I visited the cafe part of Altar Society and had such yummy drinks and food! I got an iced Horchata Latte which was good, but the winner was definitely the Queen Mary (mocha with orange zest) which I got hot and with oatmilk. I could literally smell the orange zest so strongly through the lid which I loved because usually when I get espresso/darker flavored drinks with another fruity favor, the espresso/darker flavor tends to overpower the fruity flavor. But not with this drink! It was so delicious and I highly recommend! I also got the LBC Breakfast Sando which came with a generous side of tater tots. Not only did the food come out fast, the food was so yummy as well! The sando was full of flavor and big enough that I took part of it togo. The tater tots were so crispy and hot, just the way I like it! The service was amazing as well. The barista (Haley) and a young tall gentleman kindly greeted us and gave us big smiles as we walked through the door. Another server with blonde hair and glasses was also very friendly and lovely to chat with! However, while I was there chatting with friends, there were two male employees in the cafe area who were having a loud conversation about work-related topics that may not have been appropriate to discuss near customers. One of them was also behind the cafe counter when the other barista (Haley) was helping another customer out, and he didn't even acknowledge us with a greeting or even a smile or nod like Haley did. I've worked in the food service industry as a barista and line cook before so I'm aware of satisfactory customer service, but I can't say I was a fan of his. This is why I took a star of the rating. Overall, I highly recommend the cafe and the Queen Mary drink will definitely rock your boat :) read more

The inside vibe is super cool! We really liked the Pine st IPA. Also, the food is really good. We had the Chicken Zingers and the Alter single sliders -- upgraded to tots. The Zingers are def made in house and were delicious! The sliders were also very good and do yourself a favor and get those tots! The only reason it's not a 5 is because the guy behind the bar (slick back blonde hair and mustache (sort of)) was an ass. He acted like he was doing us a favor to even get us a beer. The other guy, who might be the manager or owner who was running food, was awesome and made up for it. But seriously need to get rid of the other guy because he sucks!!! read more

I parked at the lot on 3rd and Pine, so this location was a bit hidden while crossing the street. That entrance is for the coffee shop, but if you enter across from Marathon Burger, that's directly into the brewery. The service was great and the interior was kind of dead in a peaceful way. No one loud or obnoxious. I ordered a slice of pepperoni & sausage, Pine Ave IPA, and the small 8 piece wings with Lemon Pepper and Thai Chili sauce on the side. Everything was delicious and the wings were large & crispy. I would definitely return and hit the coffee shop also. read more

I actually came here to work on a Tuesday night and it was perfect! It's a huge brewery, so you can head to a corner where you're more secluded from the crowds. There's a large variety of good beers, yummy bar foods, and a game on the TVs. There is free, fast wifi, and a coffee shop open in the mornings. This just might be the most underrated spot for all times of day in Long Beach. read more

Made a last minute pivot to Altar as the original place that we wanted to go to was packed with an approx 1 hour wait. Family in the area recommended that I pay a visit. Service: Came in around 9pm with a party of 5. Place is self seating and we were fortunate to find a spot just in front of the taps. Advised staff that we were first time visitors and requested recommendation. Staff member assisting was helpful and pleasant. Our drinks came out approximately 2-3 minutes while our food took around 5 minutes. Very fast turnaround. 5 of 5 stars. Food/Offering: Our group got the Tropical Golden and POG seltzers. Didn't really deviate from my drink as we were kinda pressed for time. The Tropical Golden is a very light, tropical tasting ale. I enjoyed this pour a lot (had 3). I'm not surprised if this is one of their top 3 beers on tap. The POG, according to the fam, it's just like your normal seltzer however the tropical flavors do stand out versus your usual commercial stuff. We also sliders and pretzel bites to share. Bites were very good. Also, I purchased a 4 pack of Tropical Golden to go =) 5 of 5 stars. Overall: As a first time visitor, I enjoyed my experience and highly recommend. Look forward to the next visit when in the area. read more

Came here yesterday with a friend to do some work in the back at the cafe, but it was closed. The waiter was great though, she grabbed me one of the herbal teas from the cafe and we grabbed a couple slices for lunch. My friend and I worked here for several hours on a Friday afternoon. They waiter was awesome and checked in with us throughout our time, filling our waters, removing things from the table and letting us work away for a few hours. They also have WiFi if needed. I've been here many times before to watch a game, even to do yoga upstairs a couple times. Each time I appreciate how versatile this space is. It's really a gem and the service is always appreciated. read more

Went here for a wedding reception. It's a decent reception space - open floors and no obvious hazards. Parking is in a nearby structure and wasn't bad by long beach standards. Everything plumbing wise was clean and worked. Same with elevator. People associated with venue seemed nice and helpful. The food was good, but not sure how much of that was on them. (If you've been around a while you might remember this space as an eclectic furniture place back in the day.) read more

Altar Society Brewing - A wedding in a semi goth vibe was striking here ... - Brewpubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

This review is for the venue upstairs. I have had a couple of slices of pizza at Altar Society Brewing which were good, but I have frequented the beautiful venue many times for events, mostly by Secret Service LBC. It was originally a Masonic temple built in 1903 with a really high wooden ceiling, which has been well preserved with ornate paintings. At the end of the building, there's a cool geometric wood design that serves as a focal point, especially when the disco ball in the center of it reflects light throughout the room. Multiple chandeliers are hung throughout and the walls are lined with brick. There is even a third level with a smaller room, restrooms and a bar. The third level also has a lovely bridal suite that remains locked for privacy. The bartenders have all been awesome, especially Casey, who took good care of my friends and I who performed on Halloween. I love this venue and will continue to go as long as there are events here! It would be a great place for a wedding too. Street parking is available in the area as well as a structure on 3rd between Pine and LB Blvd that is free for the first 2 hours. read more

My friend and I wanted some pizza and went to another restaurant but it was full. We walked further along the blvd and saw this restaurant and tried it out. We found parking a few blocks away and it was not a far walk. Once we got in, we sat and I walked to the bar to order. It is a seat yourself environment. We decided to go with the veggie pizza but did not notice the pesto drizzle on the menu. When we received the pizza it was super hot and the bread was a little stiff, cant find the right word but it wasn't hard. The pizza lacked cheese and had more veggie and pesto drizzle then anything. We decided to add a salad just for some greenery with the bread. I ordered an IPA which was not bad but the other options were OK. We visited between 5p-6p , it was quiet with some families in the place. Pretty chill read more

My friend, sister, and I went to Altar Society this past Saturday morning for some coffee. We were pleasantly greeted by the barista and another employee when we entered. My sister was in a wheelchair so I was worried about her being able to navigate inside, but to my surprise it was so big! The layout was spacious enough to where she could move around on her own without us having to move tables or chairs for her. The tables were also the perfect height for her to be able to pull up to and actually use. I first tried the horchata iced latte with oat milk which I enjoyed. It had lots of cinnamon and a strong espresso profile. The barista, I think her name is Haley, had great suggestions for drinks and was so nice and helpful the whole time. I also ordered the Retro Row breakfast burrito which was so good! It came out so fast, you could tell it was super freshly made because it was so hot and tasted so good. The house-made salsas it came with were both super great, my favorite was the verde. We were able to find a nice little corner to do some studying in which was great. I also tried the Queen Mary latte which was by far my favorite item of the day. It was the absolute perfect balance of mocha, orange, and espresso. I got it hot with oat milk and it was just so creamy and not too sweet and delicious. It was topped with fresh orange zest which just was the cherry on top. I would come back just for that alone. The only reason I am not giving this experience 5 stars (because otherwise it definitely would be) is because of two things. One, when we first got to the cafe portion of the restaurant, the barista was busy helping another customer (which no problem, that's how this works) but there was another man behind the counter as well. He did not say anything, no greeting, no "hey we will be right with you," nothing. He seemed to get in the barista's way quite a bit so I don't know if he was even another barista or what. Just an awkward start but it was quickly made better by Haley who again, so helpful and lovely. Second, while enjoying my lovely coffee and chatting with my friend, I overheard a conversation between two staff members that definitely should not have been happening in the public space. One of the people talking was the same man from earlier who did not say anything or help us and I think the other may have been a manager (he asked us how everything was a few minutes before this conversation). I could hear them loudly talking about another employee in a negative way which is just so discouraging to hear (again, especially because I think one of them was a manager). It was also in the cafe area where other customers could walk in at any time and the barista was also a few feet away. Just really soured the experience unfortunately. Again, overall very good experience. The coffee and breakfast burritos were so so so good. Highly recommend the Queen Mary hot (I did it with oat milk and I think it was truly perfect). Shoutout to Haley the barista and Xandra (who served us our food and was also a sweet heart), y'all made the whole experience! read more

Came here with a few friends for food and drinks. The service was great, staff was friendly, and the food came out fast and was delicious! The two bartenders Bailey and Noah were fun to talk to and made our drinks quickly. Just wish this place had the UFC fight on and it would have been a perfect experience. read more

A large brewery setting offering a great selection on tap, awesome pizza and community events upstairs. I was able to catch the game here and meet friends plenty of time. The pizza is a bit pricey but when they make it well, its mind blowing. Seasonal beers are fun but tastings are offered to ensure you choose the right one. Staff is helpful but its such a large place and you can be lost in the crowd when its busy. Stop by for a drink or bite, you won't regret it. read more

Beer & Drinks -- Todos Los Dias, Tropical Golden, Blue Berry Lemon Lavender Seltzer would get them all again. The bartender was hella nice and let me sample the beers before getting them. Answered all my questions & was really kind. It does get busy tho. They have a full bar too so hard liquor drinks as well Food -- decent pizza with a good crust. Not the most amazing but I would totally get again. The buffalo sauce on the wings was fire. The pretzel bites was definitely solid, a thicker cheese that went well with the very bready pretzel. A vibe for sure. Great for date night, friend outing or to take yourself on a solo date. Does get busy! Parking lots available nearby with 2 hours free. read more

One of my favorite southbay breweries - and as Im sure you know, we have a lot of breweries to choose from!!! I absolutely love the vibe of Altar Society - exposed brick, tall ceilings, and cozy. Love their pizza by the slice too! Food here is great and they have a solid selection of beers. Been here three times and it is part of our regular rotation now. Plenty of garage parking nearby too. read more

This place had been on my list for a while especially after Congregation Ale House closed. We ventured into the DTLB area last night with no real destination in mind, but stumbled upon their door as we were making our way down Pine. It's self-seating and family friendly. Order at the bar or sit and someone will come around to take your order. It wasn't really crowded on a Saturday evening, and the vibes were great! The music was serving classic 90s joints and there were tvs all around playing various college games. We ordered the meat lovers pizza and half/half wings (lemon pepper and buffalo) and a couple of drinks. Not only was the food SOLID, we couldn't finish the pizza and it made for great lunch leftovers today! I think we found our new spot!! We'll be back for sure! read more

A spacious brewery with catchy décor and plenty of seating. The service was on point. Their Altar Single was delicious, and I loved the homemade chips--crunchy and seasoned just right!

Anytime I visit somewhere new, I like to find local breweries with their own goods for sale. I walked past the place on my way to the harbor after lunch earlier, and it really stands out from the street as an inviting place. I decided to pop in on my return trip to my AirBnB, and I am so glad I did. This place is set up with tons of wood seating and a small bar. The kettles are on full display adding to the striking and handsome interior. I situated myself at one of the tables since it wasn't very busy and the bar stools were pretty full. The barkeep came over quickly to let me know about the happy hour special from 3-6 on weekdays and how to access the alcohol menu using a QR code. They were also displayed on a scrolling screen by the bar. The food menus were already on the table making it convenient. I chose to get a basket of tots and a Three Pillars Pilsner all on the happy hour special. The tots came out in a huge paper basket and were way too many for just me. They were perfectly crisp and came with a side of ketchup for dipping. The pils had excellent notes of caramel and was an easy drinker. I did check out the menu, and it looked more than ample for a brewery. This place seems to be a pretty awesome place to hang out, enjoy some good food and beer, and have excellent customer service. Check it out anytime you're in Long Beach! I know I'll be back to try more local brews and their menu when in town. read more

Been here a handful of times now so figured it's finally time for a review. The tenders here do not miss. Great balance of breading to chicken and the chicken itself is juicy and not dry. Great variety of beers as well. Ambiance is vibey and music that plays is very millennial coded (which I love). Service is very fast as well. read more

Hi been here a couple times before, Pizza was great/best pizza on pine. Bartender service was great Loved having dogs in building However the new Manager kicked me out with my dog when I have been here plenty of times before the same way. I understand he's new but this is massive change for guests who are here regularly like me. Chase / Mike (and the team at the time) used to take care of us, since then everything feels just a bit off? Something needs to change, I miss the old charm read more

Everything was perfect! So delicious! We got sliders, fries, margarita pizza, and chicken tenders. Perfect 10/10 I couldn't get enough.

Stopped by after taking a break from an event at the convention center and thus hit the spot. Two slices and a beer for 9$ was a solid deal! If I still was local I'd definitely be coming back. The servers were in the best spirits too, good times! read more

Visited twice this week - first time was a Tuesday when they were slower. We learned they have a special menu on Monday and Tuesdays that is much smaller than full food menu (which is important to pay attention to if you are visiting on a Monday or Tuesday!) We had some Chicken zingers (tenders) on Tuesday that were really tender, crisp and fresh. Casey was awesome. On Wednesday we returned. Despite having the full menu now available, I was just looking for a quick lunch so, I ordered a couple slices of pizza. The Altar Sausage with jalapeños and mushrooms is delicious! The white slice with Artichokes was also tasty but, I would have preferred skipping the cooked peppers. The crust is really nice and crisp and holds up well to the toppings. Note that Pizzas are on the limited menu (Monday/Tuesday) as well as the full menu, and can be ordered whole or by the slice! The dining room is clean and open and not too loud. Service was a little less attentive and efficient on Wednesday but all in all it was a great experience and I would return again. read more
