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

This place is soooooo cheap! We came here with some friends to celebrate a graduation of a colleague! To ensure that she leaves this place happy, I got her 3-4 drinks, along with some beers, and some nice cocktails for myself and my total tab was less than $25? WHOA? WHAT? AWESOME! Although the drinks are amazingly dirt cheap and this is a great local dive bar, it just isn't really my type of place. The crowd is a bit rough around the edges, but everyone was super nice! Did I mention that the bartender was quick and awesome? She was hot too! Thumbs up! read more

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

The Bar: This one time, about 3 years ago, I left the Orange curtain and moved to Long Beach. Blondie's was my local watering hole. This is a true neighborhood bar. Just about every patron rides a bicycle or walks here from the surrounding neighborhoods, or local University (CSULB). Located on the northwest corner of Lakewood Blvd. & Stearns Ave. The sign is bright red, so if you look hard enough, you will find it. There is a sign on the street, but the bar is behind the new complex on the corner. The outside front of this bar is unique. The smoking patio is located on the front, fenced off so that you can drink outside also. The entrance to the bar is located to the right of the patio. Once inside, you are at the bar, which when busy, everyone clutters up at the door, making it difficult to get in. The inside is a long hallway, roughly 30 feet wide wall to wall, and about 200 feet long. The bar is L-shaped seating about 20 heads, with one service station near the main entrance The left wall has about 4 tables. The patio has 6 tables, with a TV & outdoor heating. If you get hungry, check out LW Pizza directly across the parking lot. They deliver till 3am Fri & Sat. The Crowd: Given it was a Sunday night, there were about 5 people here when we arrived at 9pm. Being absent from this bar for over 3 years, I was still recognized by one of the bouncers. In all my time spent at this bar, I have never seen any confrontation, not even a minor argument. This is the most newbie friendly bar I have ever been to. Service: Starting with a pitcher of Coors light, ice cold with 2 chilled glass, service was great. 2nd time around, another pitchers, we were offered chilled glasses, but no need to dirty more glasses. Prices: Prices vary on pitchers per day. Sunday night they were $9.00. Shots of Fireball $5.00...heavy pour. Entertainment: TouchTunes Jukebox, 2 Pool Tables, Golden Tee Live, Lottery scratchers. Popcorn machine. Restroom: Set up as a single occupant at a time. Be sure to lock the door, or may find yourself in a sword fight. Relatively clean, with the classic dive bar condom machine. I sure hope no one takes those serious. If you need the number for the local Taxi, there are plenty of ads here. Bartender: Not sure what happened to the bar in last few years...back in the day, it was always beautiful female bartenders...tonight...we had John, cool guy, but with a name like Blondie's, you'd expect female bartenders. Closing statement: My favorite neighborhood bar in Long Beach and an easy walk from my best friends house, I will be frequenting this bar more often now, and I recommend you check it out too. read more

Blondie's - a neon sign in front of a building - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

The two things I like about Blondie's are: 1. That awesome neon sign out front 2. Their cheap drinks ($17 for us both!) Other than that, meh. It's really just not my type. read more

I liked this bar...beer is cheap and the bartender girl was pretty cool and friendly. There was a pretty mixed crowd...some older guys and a group of college kids playing pool. This place had a similar vibe the Reno Room has minus the greasy smell of fried tortillas. It's kind of a long way to drive for me but I wouldn't mind going back with my friends for a few drinks. read more

Not a glamorous bar but none the less I find myself there after work for a splash and dash just about every day. The people are nice and the bartenders are quick and curtious. Sometimes theres food in the back but not to often, so don't expect to eat unless you go across the parking lot for subs or pizza. The shots are HUGE and the beer is cheep and always laughter. read more

Came into the place just to check it out. Prices are good. Atmosphere for me is just plain ol EH! Bunch of bikers and when i went there's just a bunch of drunk ass old dudes. There was also a guy who was yelling at his wifes ear...go figure. They have a lotto/scratcher machine inside though :) read more

The beer is cold but there are a lot of old people here. Older crowd and they are obnoxiously loud. I am in my 20's. These old people look like they all have known each other since high school and are having drunk bonding moments. It's not a place to relax. Very loud environment read more

Blondie's - The only thing good here is the beer - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Pleasantly surprised with this little dive bar!! The drinks were good and it's a fun low key neighborhood bar!

I've been here twice during the late afternoon and it's a fun and friendly bar. They have a full bar, draft beer including IPA and fresh popcorn to snack on, self serve. The bartender Sheiva is friendly, courteous, attentive and fast with service. The patrons around me were friendly as well. They have a patio for smokers, pool tables, tv's all around and happy hour specials. Definitely check it out, take a cab and don't drink and drive..... Cheers, J read more

Awesome bar! Bartender Johnny is the best! Recommend to anyone! This is a cross between a "hole in the wall" and the place to be. Visitors: head here!!! read more

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

This is our favorite neighborhood spot! Great drinks, fun specials, and awesome people; both employees and fellow customers.

Love this bar it has a good vibe and great people. Ask for Jack and he'll make you a Cool Cucumber shot he's the best!

Walked up to the place, very busy. Guy out front says "they serve alcohol in there ", I said "that's what Yelp says". Got a seat at the bar and was ignored. I left after 5 minutes. read more

Not only is this bar an awesome local place to come drink, the service is great as well! Jack the bartender gave us prompt and friendly service even though he was the only employee and had a full bar of customers he was tending to. We asked him to make us a shot of his choice and he did not disappoint! We will definitely be back and we look forward to seeing Jack again. read more

Excellent bar , cool atmosphere, Jukebox jammen all the time, Bartenders are on point

We kinda stumbled upon this place, and I'm sure happy we did. It is a dive bar without being a dump! How refreshing. The place was so clean. No stale cigarette smell, no musty mildew scent went you walk in the door. Bathroom was about as spotless as it comes from women's public restrooms in general, let alone a bar. The music wasn't obnoxiously loud where you have to scream just to have a conversation with the person next to you. The bartender was super cute and extremely friendly. She was very engaging to everyone without forgetting about the non-regulars. So nice to go somewhere to have a drink and actually be able to sit there and enjoy the entire experience. read more

Been going here every so often for some time now with my good friends. Good beer and service. People can get interesting at times but it's a bar and that makes it a little more fun read more

Aww the good ol days. Used to come here, for a cocktail and a brew. My girlfriend even tried running me over in the parking lot, after an argument. That is when I became aware of the outdoor patio, as everyone cheered her on. Nothing another beer couldn't fix. read more

Fun little bar only two pool tables and no food but there is a good pizza place in the same lot. Drinks are good prices are great and Sunday nights bartender she was amazing long dark hair forgot her name but poured great drinks and friendly read more

Cheap decent beers and free popcorn and cheese its! They have pool tables and a lotto tickets, cool place to kill some time and hang out with friends. Once and a while I'll walk in a night and they will have like a 4 foot round pizza just for people to eat from the pizza place across the way. Not into dive bars but this place is cool read more

Poor service, my mother in law went there and was racially discriminated by some of the clientele who go here. Good micheladas though

gag condom machines in the bathroom? tons of people day drinking on a saturday? close to a friends house? check check check Honestly, I don't remember much but the bathroom was clean and my friend didnt get punched for monopolizing the jukebox with hall and oates so i give this place a thumbs up. read more

Chill, friendly and cozy. Good music on the juke unless old man 'Neil Sedaka' is selecting the music, lol. Cool peeps: Long Hair, Bagpipes, Hawaii, Baseball Cap and Kobe's Dad. read more

This is a great place for locals. Good people, good atmosphere. Free bar snacks and L&W Pizza next door. You can order pizza and then have them bring it to you at the bar! read more

What's not to love? Classic dive bar with a great range of music and strong drinks. Bartender could probably be a little less aloof but whatever, I never get out anymore and I loved just sitting there drinking my Jack & Coke listening to a good range of music while having conversation with a friend. If I was still the going out all the time kind of girl - I would make this my first stop of the night - and maybe the last. read more

What can I say, I am a regular here. Lots of fun, friendly people that know my name. Beer is average priced. LW will deliver your order to the bar and they often have food during football and other events. Really it is the people that keep bringing me back. read more

Don't be scared by the exterior. This place might qualify as a dive bar, but it's pretty chill. Great night with a cool staff.

Came here on a Wednesday night only to meet the best bartender of my life. Jo was courteous, funny, beautiful, and made some of the best drinks I've ever had in my life. I've never had so much fun at a bar on a Wednesday and it's all thanks to Jo. The free pool is a treat and the the $3 well drinks are great! Make sure that you come see Jo whenever she's behind the bar. read more

This is a great place to hang out in. The bar tenders are the best you can get. Friendly and best at what they do make your stay a good one. John and Jo are the best. read more

I've been coming here since the day I got married and have been coming here ever since. Love the workers and the regulars. Always have different specials every day of the week. Great atmosphere. read more

Great spot for hanging out after work and picking up some drinks and pizza. They offer free popcorn from their popcorn machine, great drink specials and they order pizza on the weekends for the patrons. LW Pizza delivers slices and entire pies right to your table or bar stool. You'll love it! read more

Fantastic little diver bar! Drinks are reasonably priced they also have spicy cheetos and popcorn you can eat when you start feeling a little too.....awesome. read more

cool local Long Beach bar, in an area where there are not too many bars. I notice this place is full of locals, and locals who like to day-drink. The bartenders are all friendly, cheerful, and pour an honest drink. There was a guy who comes in selling freshly made tamales, and I am still kicking myself for not ordering some. I'd go back when I am in the area again. read more

Definietly a dive bar lol. Friendly staff & patrons. Don't come here looking for munchies because all you will find is popcorn, but pizza & doughnut place is across the Parklot. Prices are fare for drink & pool games. Music is very good. Parking is ample. read more

Blondies has always been a pretty cool place. It hasn't changed much over the years. It's a simple bar, but there's nothing wrong with that. Most people have a great time here; you might be one of them. read more

ok 1st... Im not a heavy drinker...i like music more than i like drink..i also like to sit outside...so if you enjoy the combo of sit outside and listen to rock music... sampling of what i heard..Motorhead, QOTSA, SLAYER, ROCKET etc... its rock meets indie on the box.. what i drank, soda..what my friends drank beer... it was easy to park..VERY LOCAL spot and clean... i rode my bicycle there and did not lock up cuz door guy wil watch your bikes.. SO if you in Long Beach,up by the airport/trafic circle area its cool and you can meet some friends...sorry no pictures..but cool place... read more

We went here a few years ago on a week night and then again on New Years Eve 07 as our final bar of the night. The place is good for a few drinks but it gets pretty crowded and there is always one random guy trying to follow one of our friends around trying to get her number. They had some party favors and festive people working the bar. You can sit inside and maybe get to play pool on the one pool table or you can sit outside on a patio that doesn't have as many tables and chairs as it should. I would say give it a try, the drinks have always been good. read more

Great neighborhood dive bar. We tried another one just down the street and quickly left. Blondie's had a nice crowd, but not overly friendly where you felt like you were in a scene from Cheers. They have two pool tables and a digital jukebox. There's also a small outside patio. Beers were pretty cheap and they also have a full bar. read more
