The after party, it's a nice bar. Good neighborhood. Very friendly staff. The food is good. Not sure where the pizza came from but I had some and it was good. Coolest thing has to be the free popcorn. Can't beat that. I'll definitely come back. read more

Blondie's - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Blondie's is a pretty cool dive bar in LB located near the traffic circle. Though this spot isn't typically my go-to, I dropped by the other night after my Yelp Elite event to have a few drinks with my mom. The place was poppin' for a Wednesday night. Music, pool tables, and free popcorn, what's not to love? Overall, this local hotspot is a nice little dive bar that offers good vibes. read more

Blondie's - Space Dust IPA & free popcorn! - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Went in the morning to check out this place out. Why not? It's 5 o'clock somewhere! As I walked in bartender Tray warmly greeted me. Made it comfortable with her genuine smile. Drinks were made promptly upon request. Exceptional service was provided! Prices were great not too expensive at all. They don't serve food, but will offered Chex Mix or mixed nuts. Outside food is allowed while you sip your drink. Super clean bar very maintained well. There's two pool tables in the corner as well for your enjoyment. If you are looking for a chill dive bar, check this place out and ask for bartender Tray. She's the best! read more

Blondie's - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Vibes are great, started coming on Mondays for Bingo with Micheal, he's so funny and kind and such a breath of fresh air. Bri is the best and literally so sweet. Everyone who goes is so caring, started going back more often. read more

Awesome spot to kick back with a cold beer. Not very crowded most days, . People are great

What can I say about this place! I really enjoy this spot, but I enjoy it the most when most when Michael is on staff! He makes you feel so welcomed and always the sweetest soul with best service! The best popcorn?? MICHAEL! Nonetheless I love Blondies! A local bar? That and then some! read more

I am a 23 yr old man with a beard and mustache with many tattoos and they believed i was underage and would not take my ID and said it was fake... mind you i have been to this bar multiple times and they threatened to take my new ID after i showed them the new ones on the DMV website as well. So i just left. The female bartender was rude as well. read more

I have to say....after coming to Blondies off n on for over 15yrs, tonight being game 3 of the world series, I'm HELLA DISAPPOINTED!!!! I asked ALL THE PATRONS if they'd rather have the game sound on(17th inning at that time) mind you, or music, ALLL CHOSE GAME! But the "bar" sided with one patron for music. Mind you....THE WORLD SERIES!!!! I won't be back...not cool read more

I've only been here a few times but it's a pretty chill little spot. Very clean and the bartenders are nice! There's two pool tables in the side room and the restrooms are clean. Free popcorn ftw! read more

This dive bar is our 'Cheers-where everybody knows your name'. My husband and I are regulars. I used to get upset with him because we'd go here 2-3 times a week; but as I've gotten to know the bartenders and other locals, I have a deeper appreciation for this place. I've formed so many great friendships here. Some who I now consider family. It's not a typical dive bar. You can totally sit at one of their tables in the outdoor patio and have some mimosas on a sunny afternoon. There's a billiard room where they hold pool tournaments on certain nights. You're allowed to bring in outside food. There's a great pizza place across the parking lot, a liquor store and a donut shop all in the same plaza. And a UPS in case you have anything to ship. :) Bathrooms are clean, prices are fair, they have beer on tap and bottled, full stocked liquor and for the lightweights- white claws, trulys and corona seltzers. Great people, great spot. Love this place. read more

I went there for the first time and felt unwelcome, they seem to like their regulars only. Bartender was unfriendly, if it wasn't for a person sitting next to me that was very nice, I would have left. read more

I go here every now and then to meet with co workers and I don't know the bartender's name but it was on 5/16. I left my wallet and I was able to retrieve it the following day with everything in tact. Not to mention drinks come by quick also :) read more

One of the best bars in Long Beach Kelly is the man!! Mac is also awesome !! Pool tables, full liquor bar with great service!! read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen decided to revisit Blondie's after several years. It is a good dive bar. People are cool, bartenders are quick, and the vibe is casual. There are quite a few Regulars here, which is nice to see in the neighborhood. The end. read more

This is a run of the mill local dive bar. It is in a decent neighborhood. It feels cleaner and safer than a lot of dives.

Bartender was a girl with glasses and brown hair she was the rudest bartender ever she had an attitude and they favorite locals and regulars only and she favorites the men more than me and my friend who were the o my girls and she made us feel dumb every time we asked her a question she answered as if we were the idiots for even asking a simple question never come here :) and if u see this and ur a rude POS read more

This is the perfect neighborhood bar!!! A little bit of everyone migrated here. Friendly bartender @macthebartender who works on Wednesday is the best! They upgraded during the pandemic and now have more spacious seating and air conditioning/ventilation. There is a pool room and juke box for entertainment. Not to mention all the new televisions . The patrons are friendly and it's just a cool low key vibe. They don't serve food, but there is an Italian spot across the parking lot that sales pizza by the slice Aye. read more

Nice and cozy little bar here in long beach. I will definitely be coming back to get some more drinks :)

Very clean bar.. great drinks and friendly service! Will definitely come back. We needed to fix our hangover and they were open read more

As a bartender myself, the bartenders here are not friendly. As we are trying to walk inside the bar "keep in mind this our first time here" the place is pretty crowded and we try to approach the bar we CAN'T?! There isn't any spots open even the area where you order. Bartender is walking around as if they are lost and don't even ask if we would like to order a drink as we standing by the bar??!! By the time we order a drink, unfortunately it's not tasteful due to the atmosphere. Hello and goodbye! read more

Chill as fuck. Two pool tables, a patio, and popcorn machine. Classic Long Beach- young and old, dark, not obnoxiously loud, and super friendly to a guy like me who after 24 years in Long Beach finally came in on the way to and from the airport. The perfect place to down a few double Tito's and cran before getting on a Jet Blue flight out of town, Blondie's is now the reason my dad or my brother-in-law are willing to pick me up or drop me off so they can get a drink without their wives knowing, as long as we stick to the same "lost luggage" story. read more

Went here a couple times since I moved to the area. Worst bar I've ever been to. Were very rude to me cause I wasn't a local and even told me to leave because they were closing even though they let the locals stay after hours. Then a couple of the customers harassed me in the parking lot and when I said they didn't own the parking lot and I had the right to sit in my car the bartender came out and said I was 86ed...good riddance. Not to mention I don't do drugs and everyone was just snorting coke in the bathroom. Maybe they were just high or whatever but it was honestly and genuinely a disheartening and very undesirable experience.. read more

If I could I'd give this place 0 stars. My husband and I have came here a few times & never had a problem but the last time we came we quickly realized that not only do they favor their locals/regulars but they are racist. The bartender Kenny kept ignoring us when we tried to order drinks instead he's chatting up with the regulars & would even walk right past us and go serve his regulars . We would have to wait almost 15 minutes just to be acknowledged. When we closed our tab we didn't tip and ol Kenny wasn't happy about that. We tried to keep it fun and even try to joke around with him but his racist side came out instead. Telling my husband by the way ,black man, that he needs to work hard to even get 25 CENTS. & I got it on video. & then he's Telling other customers we didn't tip. Very unprofessional and racist. If youre not a local/regular and aren't in their shade, they will treat you like you are beneath them. Will never come back and def will not recommend to anyone. read more

My Kind of spot, excellent service, home away from home. Locals are cool as heck, never a problem read more

Friendly staff and smells really good inside. Super clean place with clean bathrooms. Most days I've been here had a nice atmosphere. The only reason I took off stars is because they overcharged us. We got charged $14 for one drink which is a price I would expect to pay at a nice restaurant, not a dive bar. Last time we came the drinks were way cheaper so idk if it was a special but it's why we came back. We ended up paying $70 and didn't drink that much. I don't think I'll be back though. I think we got taken advantage of because we're not regulars. read more

I have lived in the LBC for well over 15 years and I have pretty much experienced every bar around, but for some reason I had never made my way to Blondie's. Well now I can officially say I came, I saw, and I conquered another lovely dive bar. Though I wouldn't really say it is a dive, it is pretty clean and very well kept together. Lots of seating, outdoor gated patio, and plenty of tvs for sports. Came in on Memorial Day in the early afternoon to a warm reception. Ended up seeing a few friends that frequent the bar and hung out and got my drank on. The bartender was great, and put up with our loud asses and a good time was had by all. Downside no food, but that is no big deal. They have a few places near them where you can purchase some grub and they do not mind if you bring it in... just clean up after yourself. Would I recommend? Yes!!! And I will be back!!! Cheers! read more

First time, and poor service, it's warm inside, almost witness a fight, between a door man and a customer.(about a pulling gun with the customer) I will never be coming his place again. What a night. Thank you for messing up my date with my hubby tonight. read more

Bartender for my night definitely had her favorites. Wasn't ever acknowledged, I had to speak up everytime or she wouldn't of said anything to me. And when I asked to close out, bartender completely "forgot" about me and served/closed other tabs except me. And no, it wasn't that busy. read more

1 beer bar It's a little rough on the inside, biker crowd. Speakers in jukebox are blown out... You have 1 beer there, then move on... Then when you drive by it and your friends ask you, "there's Blondies, have you been there?"... "Oh, yeah I've been there." That's pretty much it. read more

I love it what more could you want to place I am totally in love with this place at staffs great the people are great and the the atmosphere is awesome Long Beach rocks read more

Love this dive in bar ! I can't wait to come back I love the atmosphere and I love the vibe that's in this bar. Nothing but happy and good times and always serving the best drinks for good prices !! And always plays the jams from oldies to now days music it changes but always good songs. I love the expansion of the place and how you can play pool more roomy and comfortable. read more

I'm with the 'helpful ADT crew' as most know us by. I've been coming here almost 4 years now. It's conveniently right down the street from the office and I've been taking my team here since. Great environment, great prices and free popcorn! JoJo is my girl!!! Ask her to whip you up something special and you won't be disappointed! Awesome place! We'll continue to come here as it's become a tradition! Keep up the great service guys!!! read more

A laid-back local joint with cheap drinks. To wit, two Blue Moons and two Bacardi and Cokes came to $15--I thought they'd messed up our bill. Doesn't have much of an ambiance and the crowd can seem a little rough around the edges but it's not a bad place to hang out with friends and catch a game on one of the 3 large TVs, shoot some pool, or play bad music on the juke box. I wouldn't mind visiting again. read more

I really like this local bar it has to pool tables variety of beers and other alcoholic beverages. No food period but they do have peanuts and some bags of chips. Happy hour is pretty good. They have TVs on the wall at you pool tables in the back and the Jukebox. Even though it has a locals only bar they are very friendly to newcomers read more

Blondie's - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

I don't really go out enough locally. Could be good or bad, but for the most part, I've missed going to Blondies enough. I've been a few times, and while every experience has been good, just never put the effort into going back. Now thats probably changed. This is the tale of two bars in one nights, and having the stark compare and contrast experience, to Dempsey's just a few blocks away, I'll be coming back to blondies more. Blondies is a dive, but has good seating, and is well decorated, with tacky, neon, posters, but it works, and actually sets a pretty good vibe. Getting there about 5, I saw a great rush of the kind of after work types come in for about two hours. The bartender (blonde) was great, and their wednesday special $3 wells was good too. I went there with a date, and we did 3 rounds of Coors Light and Whiskey and Coke. Total $19.xx. Whats better, the bartender remembered my drinks, so everytime she saw me head up to the bar, she just gave me a nod to see if I wanted the same thing and made fast work of the drinks. The patrons are regular middle class types, but all polite and friendly. It was a great place to relax and the patio was perfect for holding conversation. After that we took off to Dempsey's for what was a shocking experience, at twice the price and about 1/16th the service. This is probably what made blondies stand out finally, that you realize just how bad a local bar can be, and just how great of a job the owners and staff of blondies do, to make a welcoming dive.

Nice set up and the customers and workers are always nice when I go to see my friends play in league night. The outdoor smoking area is great and I like how the ambience from indoors is maintained outdoors while separating the smokers from non smokers. read more

Yay! This is my favorite bar in long beach. I even call it "my bar" because its the only one I really go to haha and it's walking distance from where I live so I don't have to worry about drinking & driving. The bartenders are all super nice & personable. And there are drink specials every night. Plus there's an outdoor patio! So you can take your drink & go have a cig or take a refreshing break outside without having to close your tab. read more

Blondie's - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Best dive bar in Long Beach! Pool tournaments regularly! Drinks are poured well and the bartenders are Bomb!

Five stars is generous, but it is based on the place being a dive bar. If you walk in expecting upscale this is not the place for you. This review is for someone looking for a dive bar. If you want upscale bar in Long Beach go to Pine Ave and hit the Federal Bar. This place is just a great neighborhood bar. We all have those times when we don't want anything more than a beer and sports. No pretension and no need to effort over how you look. blondies is an unassuming place where you get to kick back and have some surprisingly solid brews. They don't have food, but you can order from the pizza place across the street (which is a solid but not great place itself). read more
