Been here a couple of times and I noticed things are a little different here. Beers are great, however the vibe seems a little low. Music is boring and the service is great amongst the usual people who help me out. I don't know who the new manager is but i noticed that he doesn't allow the employees to be themselves like usual with us. I hope things go back to normal. read more

Our experience here has always been great. We come for good beer and relaxed environment before our cruises and we were remembered and greeted with a huge cheerful smile from Melzer The pizza today was really great (our first time trying) and the wine is actually good for a primarily beer spot. Fun place full of great vibes. read more

Altar Society Brewing - Menu 6/2026 - Brewpubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Service was really great. They were out of a lot of beer due to the World Cup going on and people buying pitchers. But I was still able to order one I liked. Fries were good. Plenty of tvs and seating area. What I wasn't crazy about: - menu viewing online for beers doesn't tell you what kind of beer it is. It just states the name. You'd have to go up to the bar and read it or ask the waitress every question you have bc you wouldn't know why type of beer something was just by looking at a mobile device. - Pizza was very standard or just below par. We were looking forward to NY style pizza and the crust and undercarriage just didn't really work. Bottom didn't hold well and the crust just lacked freshness in my opinion. Either way, glad we came here. Kid friendly, friendly staff, food options, and good beers. read more

I've been here plenty of times for beer and pizza but haven't been in for coffee yet. If you walk through all the way to the back they have a coffee shop if ykyk. Decided to give it a try today after a walk and it was They have traditional drinks as well as seasonal long beach inspired drinks which I recommend you try if you have the opportunity to do so. I ordered a seasonal drink I forgot the name I'm sorry but it was earl grey tea with cream and something else very refreshing. I also ordered the pistachio croissant, Altar Society breakfast burrito and a couple pup cups for my boys. Burrito 10/10 definitely would be back to try their other burritos and they are decently sized as well. The vibe is cool I've been before but if you haven't it's an old masonic temple I believe. Original wood flooring, kept a lot of the old character of the building which I personally appreciate with every other business making everything new and flashy. Service was friendly could have been a little quicker but not terrible. Would I be back.. Yes, and not just for beer and pizza I'll come back to the coffee shop, nice and peaceful mornings, quiet, good food and drinks and the pups enjoyed their items as well. read more

I was walking in downtown Long Beach and stumbled across this coffee bar. It was the afternoon so it was pretty quiet and not much of a wait. The barista was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered 2 vanilla lattes with whole milk and half sweet. It was quality all the way around and something I really enjoyed. This is a great spot if you are in the area. 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

Living downtown has its perks and this brewery is definitely one of them. I own a business and decided to have a company anniversary party here on a whim and the pizza and brews and service were so professional and accommodating for our budget and time! Highly recommend for a quick bite or a corporate Friday party to unwind! 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

Came in the other day and grabbed a coffee that was absolutely delicious. I asked the barista to surprise me and she delivered with this delicious drink. She made me a brown sugar vanilla latte with salted cold foam! And she explained how she made all the syrups herself! 10/10 The music was a bit lack luster; a bit of a mood killer. When I asked about it, she explained that they were limited to the restaurant's set playlist. They definitely should adjust the music to stuff that's from this decade! 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

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

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

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

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Altar Brewing Society. The venue was amazing and the vibe was exactly what we wanted for our day. It felt so unique, warm, and fun, and everything came together beautifully. We got so many compliments from our guests about the venue all night long and even after the wedding. Everyone kept saying how cool and beautiful the space was. It really made our wedding feel special and memorable. Drinks were great, we are happy with the bar options Altar provided. We're so happy we chose Altar Brewing Society and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a venue with an amazing atmosphere and great overall experience. 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

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

We're locals who just live down the block, but the security crew around the World Cup is totally nuts. Terrible attitude and power trip. Once you step outside for a bit they won't let you back in claiming that the place was full even though I was just standing outside the front door. Don't know how they can survive with just the World Cup or the Olympics every 4 years. But as locals we're done with this place and never coming back. Good luck surviving on Pine St when much better places have struggled. Edit: What's worse is I had a group of 8 still inside and still can't back in. Even though many people was walking out at half time and security still didn't let people in. Unfortunately, some people in my group just ordered food and drinks so they had to pound it, and we went across the street to Shannon's. Most of the group live in a 3-4 condos and apartment buildings nearby so it's too bad there's one less place we can bring our neighbors to. 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

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

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

There was a sign to order at the bar, so we got some pizza& wings. Service was slow but it was busy. They were out of a lot of items. we got pepperoni, pepperoni & sausage and a Hawaiian slice.

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
