    Been here a couple times now and it's been solid all the time. Drinks are very unique and tasty. My personal favorite is the mezcal sour. Inside is a chill vibe and service from the bartenders is on point. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

    Parking is definitely difficult, make sure to make time to find parking. Service is excellent. I loved our servers & even the bouncer was super friendly. Absolutely loved the free popcorn, please don't ever stop doing that. Thank you for all the refills (: we had the dream boat (loved) & freaky little potation. So many different unique well made cocktails. Will definitely be back. Also loved the decor & lighting. Cute bar, not fancy but not a typical dive bar either! A good middle

    loose screw sour, with the cutest star everrrrrr

    It's so pretty here for Christmas! They have a fake snow machine out for the holidays, which is just so wonderfully festive. I can't recommend enough their hot dogs for Happy Hour, which are $5 and come loaded with the works (ketchup, mustard, onions, and relish).

    Oh em Baby Gee. It's oh so perfect! Drinks are on point!! Bartender was the sweetest and most talented. Ambience A+ and all Decked out for the holidays.

    We visited this bar for the first time yesterday and had such a great experience! First, the gentleman working the door was incredibly handsome, kind, and surprisingly insightful--we couldn't believe he was the "security." He immediately set a warm, welcoming tone. Inside, everyone was friendly and attentive. We ordered beers and cocktails, then noticed a sign for a "pumpkin ___ jello shot" on the wall and were instantly intrigued. Huge shoutout to Noah, our amazing bartender, who surprised us with two of those plus an espresso martini jello shot. They were out of this world--such a creative twist on a classic bar concept. I've been to plenty of cocktail bars, but this spot stood out thanks to the atmosphere, the staff, and the unique drinks. Overall, an unexpectedly wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Who knew quality local dive + quality cocktails would make for such a happy marriage and have a baby Gee? The cocktail menu is tiki inspired, and so some of the drinks waxed a tad too sweet for my curmudgeon palate. But the menu is so impressive and changes seasonally! Barkeeps are super friendly, and the super kool LBC vibe was probably my favorite part!

    Hemmingway Colada and Terry's Margarita from Last Call $10 menu. Soooo good!

    I'm mad at myself for taking so long to get to Baby Gees. I've been missing out on some of the best cocktails I've had in Long Beach! Not only do they have fun names, but they combine ingredients like nowhere else, creating adventurous libations to stimulate your senses. What finally brought me here was the enticing Last Call Week menu offered during the first week of March. $10 drinks! Terry's Margarita involved tequila, Seville orange aperitif, tamarind, dark chocolate and lime. It was almost like a spiked Oaxacan molé in a glass, rich and complex. Hemingway Colada consisted of Belizian rum, Jamaican rum, Maraschino, coconut, grapefruit and pink peppercorn. I usually avoid piña coladas because they tend to be too sweet, but this was definitely not. Creamy and the grapefruit cut through the rum. The peppercorn gave it a nice kick too! On their regular cocktail menu, we tried the Cracker Jack Ol' Fash and The Honorable Miss Moonlight, both $18. Cracker Jack Ol' Fash is made up of bourbon, Cynar, amontillado sherry, Coca Cola reduction, cherry, peanut oil and topped with a cool temporary tattoo as the Cracker Jack prize. I initially thought this would be a bit sweet as well, but it wasn't! It was definitely one of the best variations of an old fashioned I've ever tasted. The Honorable Miss Moonlight was my favorite cocktail here of all! Gin, Suze, sake, togarashi (Japanese pepper), plum, nori and pine. Also not too sweet yet reminds me of a Japanese umeboshi candy with a nice balance of gin, sake and aperitif. They have snacks such as mixed nuts, olives, and chips as well as small pizzas. I tried the Burrata & Olive with Calabrian chili for $22. It was more like a flatbread than a pizza. I missed the old Red Room memories, but happy to see what they've done here! Service was quick and friendly, retro vibe, parking around here is horrible though.

    One of my favorite bars to go to in Long Beach! I remember being influenced to visit from seeing either a TikTok video or Instagram reel. It is a fairly average size for a bar and has seating all around. I absolutely love the ambiance here. Not to mention, is it a LGBTQIA+ friendly bar! The aesthetic and decorations make it feel positive, fun, and almost homey. I personally wouldn't come here with more than a party of 4 just due to the size of it. It could be hard to sit all together if they are already busy. My favorite part is that they offer non alcoholic drinks. No judgment or questions asked. It might sound funny, hey, lets go to a bar for something non-alcoholic... defeats the purpose right? Haha but not here! I love that they do this to include everyone's tastes and preferences. I personally tag along with my friends but don't prefer alcohol so I really do appreciate this as a consumer. I tried a belly wash and my belly was HAPPY. happy belly happy life. they added some cherries, I don't know what kind they were, but It was a newfound love. If you've seen ratatouille where Anton Ego is transferred to a childhood memory then devours the ratatouille... yeah that was me with the cherries. Customer service was also great! Overall, it's a great bar to go to and try some fun cocktails or something simple! Parking is limited to the street, so be wary because all the blocks around fill up.

    Came here since they were doing special drinks for the holidays. Easy finding parking. We parked in front of the building next door. They check IDs at the door and at the bar. Not a ton of holiday drinks, but we tried a couple things off the menu, one of which had a blinking light at the bottom of the glass. A lot of their usual drinks looked pretty good though. It's a divey ish space. Most tables were taken so we sat at the bar. Looked like you can bring your own food here as we saw one group having a potluck. I did like all the Christmas decor. Tons of vintage stuff too. Staff was nice. Friendly too. Good vibes!

    We stumbled into Baby Gee's this past rainy weekend after missing our Symphony reservation, and honestly, I'm so glad we did. A friend had gone the week before and said it was worth checking out--and they were absolutely right. From the moment we walked up, the experience was already better than most places. The bouncer at the door was incredibly polite, helpful, and well-mannered. Such a refreshing change and it set the tone for the rest of the night. Inside, the ambience is spectacular--warm lighting, great vibe, and everyone just seemed to be having a genuinely good time. Before we could even settle on seats at the bar, the bartenders were already asking what they could get us. No frantic waving or flagging anyone down, which was honestly impressive. The drink menu is fantastic with tons of creative options. I even tried their pickled beer--sounds wild, tastes amazing. Huge shoutout to our bartender, Noah, originally from NYC. As a fellow New Yorker (Queens!), chatting with him made the whole experience feel like home. He went out of his way to offer recommendations, made sure we were taken care of the entire night, and kept the vibe fun. His service was truly top-tier. Every drink we had was delicious and clearly crafted with care. They mentioned they're dropping a new Winter drink menu this week, so I'd definitely recommend stopping in soon. If our night was any indication, you won't be disappointed!

    LOVED! From out of town and always want to try new places ~ believe the great reviews for this place! The cocktails are INSANE! Fun ambiance! There was a tad of a wait for the cocktails as it was busy and only one bartender...BUT they were worth the wait and made with pure heart. She is magician! So good! We had the burrata and olive pizza - 5/5 Warm pretzel ~ 5/5 People Eater Sour ~ OMG! a must! 10/5 Soda Shoppe ~ 5/5 Glutton for Punishment ~ 5/5 Highly recommend! Will definitely be back when in town!

    The cocktails are so good. I love a good fruity drink and the far far away drink was delicious. Came last night for the first time and I loved the vibes. Very retro and cool. Would come again. The bartender was very kind and helpful.

    I recently had a birthday (big ups my December brethren!) and told all my friends to find me at Baby Gee. It was pure magic. I loved the decor, the fake snow outside, the cozy ambiance. The drinks were tasty however they took a bit (like 15 minutes) to order. The people who work here are very friendly. I ordered some hot honey pepperoni pizza to share with friends. Super yummy! A bar with snacks?!? Yes, please! Parking in these parts of Long Beach is not easy. You have to understand this. It comes with the territory. We only looped around the area once and found parking a couple blocks away. Some of my friends were fortunate to find prime parking right in front. Some just got a ride service.

    The Wicked Wolf is a kind of place that offers the opportunity for whimsical mischief. For…read moreinstance, they have a rooftop area. And this one time I was there alone with another, no other patrons just staff members walking around from time to time. We stole the moment to dance under the Long Beach sky, just the two of us as a famous Christina Perrio song gently wafted in the night breeze. At another separate time, I was at the Los Angeles County Fair with another. We rode the ferris wheel at such a time where our gondola stopped at the top just as the sun set. The moment was nothing but beautiful and life affirming because the sinking of the sun's light was like a real life video of nature happening in front of us, unburdened by static or data stall. We witnessed nature resting, and I feel, that it was a kin to a beauty falling into a gentle sleep. These two instances have a common factor: momentary bliss arrived to bless an experience because the environment supported discovery of unplanned joy. That is what I associate with the Wicked Wolf, and this time the joy arrived eventually because when my Mom and I arrived to their high tea on Mother's Day the experienced seem like it would land nowhere good. Truth be told, my mom and I arrived 15 minutes early and there was no host in the stand and the place was empty except for a foursome. The energy felt lacked luster. One or two minutes after, the bartender informed us that we were early and the host would come soon. We sat in an available sofa for two, a loveseat persay. This gave us an opportunity to admire the decor that transported us to a storybook forest where good fairies reside, not like swamp creatures and trolls with malevolent fangs and dragon green eyes. I especially loved the large roses in the ceiling. To set the stage, the black ceiling had vines hanging from it, and the few roses were pops of crimson red displayed above.These were wonderful accents to the central mural of the joint that invited the viewer within deeper into the fairy forest where a light shone on an unseen meadow. The place had the decorations and general environment to be a lavender fairy's lounge, but, it did not fully work as a team room. For instance, my mom and I were sat in another lover's couch. Initially, I did not want to sit here because we were given circular tray sets. So imagine being told to sit in a couch, and each of us would get a tv tray. So I was left to wonder if we were going to be served tea in Belle's living room or if were going to watch a flick as we ate pollo loco bowl? But then as I settled into the tranquility of the moment, saw more people come and find their seat or couch, and as the serviced picked-up I realized that this was high tea in a place that had taken disjointed beauty and tackied it together for a patched tea experience that worked well. It was like the experienced was blessed and allowed by the same spirit that brought forth Raggedy Ann. For instance, the pictures show these pretty violet petaled tea cups and matching plates. This pairing was dainty and perfect for a tea party happening under pink veils. But then the sugar cubes came in a hedgehog shaped holder which was just as precious as seeing a piglet in a carriage built for one. Then the cream carrier was in the shape of a milk carton. I wondered where the missing child portrait was? The pastry plate was in the shape of a tropical flower like the ones scattered all over Hawaii. It belonged in a beautiful lei. Each of these elements was cute in its own delicate and whimsical way but together they made an eclectic hodgepodge, not a coherent tea set. And in this asymmetry laid the glitter of their error. The host also brought these clip on dainty hats that were perfect touches for make believe tea party. He carried them around in their original packing, including the box they came in. Not exactly the tailor of the queen, offering hats to the villagers as a gift from her to them, but still the effort magnified the moment. The tea food was the worst stumble that Red took as she was being chased by the Wicked Wolf. To begin with the end analysis, the tea offerings in general were standard, and not bites fit for a princess and her wedding court. For instance, the cream cheese and cucumber sandwich was just that---- a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich. I detected no effort to make it more than that. The blueberry scone was solid, nothing to skip through a meadow about. But once you added the jam of the table to the scone it was much easier to enjoy. I also had a madeline that was fluffy in the center but could have been purchased maybe at Costco. I had a Macaron and same thing, delicious but I have had something similar before and I suspected that it did not come from a place afloat with Parisian affairs. The best part of the tiers was this puff like thing that had like a Concha texture and design at the top. It was a sweet filled bite that was fit for a man made of muffin.

    I was really excited to visit this bar--I've always been a huge fan of fairy tales and thought the…read moretheme was such a fun concept for a bar. When we got there, I felt that the decorations and drinks felt a bit gimmicky, with random fairy tale-esque elements like a throne and massive red roses. I thought it would have been very cool to see Easter eggs and more intentionality bringing the atmosphere together. Since it was an hour before closing, we didn't plan to stay very long. The two people working at the bar were both unwelcoming and seemed upset that we were there (there were other people at the bar, including people who arrived later in the night than us). We paid for our drinks, which cost over $40 for 2 drinks with tip. My cocktail was $17 and came in a glass barely bigger than a shot glass. We left around the time they were calling for last call. I can understand not wanting stragglers who prevent the bartenders from closing late, but I would have much preferred being turned away at the door rather than paying and tipping for an overall unpleasant experience.

I was excited to see on the menu that they were serving Kinobi gin from Kyoto. I discovered this gin on a trip to Kyoto have since bought it regularly. To my surprise, when I saw the bartenders making the drinks they were using Gray Whale. Gray Whale is fine, but it's not in the same league at Kinobi. I realize Kinobi can be hard to find at times but If there's a substitution like that, the server should say something when you order the drink or if it's a recipe change, the menu should be updated. Speaking of service, that's what really brought me to write this re view. Before we even ordered we were told that we would only have 90 minutes. That honestly killed the vibe and made us feel rushed. Like the OpenTable confirmation even said we'd have two hours. And for tge rest of our time there our server pretty much ignored us. They forgot some of the food we ordered and shoved the check in our face when they wanted us to leave. I'm guessing they were stretched too thin? I think they need to hire another person to be a server or maybe get an extra bartender and have them wait on the people at the bar. At a bar like this service is everything. Being a Japanese themed bar you'd think they would try to copy the level of service you'd have in Japan. I just moved to the neighborhood and probably won't return after our experience.

This hidden gem lives inside the newly renovated Fairmont Breakers in Long Beach, and for all my Fairmont regulars: relax, you're in good hands, their world-renowned elegance remains intact. PARKING Valet is only $10, which in Southern California basically qualifies as a love language. (Note to Fairmont Breakers Management: Listen up, my friends! Please keep it that way, gas is $5.97/gallon and my wallet is already in therapy.) I handed the valet a $5 tip before I even stepped out of my car, just so I could glide into the lobby feeling like a full‑blown princess making her grand entrance. Before you leave, you simply pay the valet in cash or card and they'll have your car right there before you can even blink. AMBIANCE Walk in and boom!

Attentive, sharp memory, and smooth service all the way through. Zero notes. FOOD The menu is small, so if you show up ravenous, pace yourself or plan to Uber home after a cocktail‑heavy evening. I'm allergic to cheese, so I had to double‑check ingredients, but the Mushroom Flatbread was outstanding, flavor was superb and the best part was they did not skimp on the mushrooms! A+ for that. I also tried the Prosciutto di Parma with melon, which is a strange combo for a California girl... but hey, I never said I wasn't a weirdo. Drinks are not my thing since I enjoy company without alcohol's help, so I can't help you with that. DATE‑WORTHY OR NOT? Absolutely. Alter Ego gets a double thumbs‑up from me and a strong recommendation for your next Silver Singles date. It's easy to find, the seating is comfortable (even for those of us with backs that like to complain), and they even offer tube pillows for extra support. Tell me that's not romance.

The main bar is beautifully decorated and there are spacious booths to eat at as well. My favorite part was the two additional "secret" bar areas! While sitting in the main bar area you would have no idea there are additional rooms. Exploring the other rooms was a fun, unique part of the visit. The drinks were photo worthy as well as tasted great. The bar tender was attentive and adjusted my drink based on how much sweetness I like. The lychee margarita was my favorite because they light it up table side for a fun presentation! The food tasted great and was very affordable priced! Our group ordered multiple items and shared them family style, which seems to be a common approach here. The shrimp fried rice was delicious and my favorite food item. One order was plenty to share between 4 people. Per our server's request, we also tried the cucumber salad which was really refreshing and a great side. I tried the popcorn chicken but honestly they packed a kick and were too spicy for me, so be warned. In sum, the service, food, drinks, and ambiance were great and I will definitely be back!

    Absolutely delicious food at reasonable prices. Probably the best fried rice and edamame I've ever…read morehad. Service was decent, didn't get quite as much attention as I would have ordered more food had someone stopped by faster. It's a really small location so it's a little bizarre that service is a bit on the slow side. That said, everything else was fantastic so it's a small sin as such things go. Overwhelmingly recommend this place, just maybe order a lot up-front so you don't end up waiting around for more. It also has 2 speakeasys attached to the "main" restaraunt, but book early as those spots are even harder to get into.

    False Advertising and Total Failure of a "Speakeasy"…read more This place should not call itself a speakeasy. According to their website, they are strict about dress code, reservations, and no large parties. None of that was enforced. People arrived wearing sports clothes, tennis shoes, and flip-flops, and a group of more than 10 people was allowed in. That group was loud, drunk, and screaming, completely destroying any speakeasy ambiance. We had a reservation booked one week in advance for 2 tables of six, yet by 8:30 pm, we were told no food was available, despite the bar being almost empty. The water was already on the table when we arrived and tasted strongly of chlorine, with no ice. The waitress was clearly new, untrained, and unprepared. She did not know the menu, didn't know how to take an order properly, and provided no guidance whatsoever. There was one bartender Ricardo, who took over an hour to prepare cocktails and showed no sense of urgency or care. The dramatic cocktail descriptions sounded impressive, but the drinks did not match the descriptions at all. Because of the delays, we were never even able to properly toast or celebrate our friend. The charcuterie board took forever and arrived with an absurd amount of cheese and only six pieces of bread. To make things worse, part of the food we ordered never arrived at all. The live jazz band advertised and promised never showed up. When asked, the staff responded with: "I don't know, they were supposed to be here. I don't have their phone number." That level of disorganization is unacceptable. At the end of the night, we were shocked to receive a check close to $600 for two tables, despite each person only having one cocktail and shared food. The bartender, Ricardo, approached us and said: "Well, sorry, we really tried tonight! It wasn't the best, but we tried." Honestly, that comment made the experience even more frustrating. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if they hadn't "tried."That statement perfectly summarizes the problem -- trying is not enough when everything fails. I would not recommend this place for a speakeasy experience. This is not a speakeasy. It's a poorly run bar hiding behind a concept it does not deliver. Do not recommend.

    If you're looking for a solid Thai spot in Long Beach, this has become one of our family's feel…read moregood go to places. Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

    KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary
