This place is horrible. Drove al the way from San Gabriel valley to see what the gay night life was like in Long Beach. My partner and I have been to Long Beach and love the vibes but we stopped in this place cuz we had to use the bathroom and after we were gonna head to sweet water and omg this girl inside was banging on the door while my partner was using the bathroom and being so rude! My partner came out and said why was she knocking loud and she proceeded to try to attack girlfriend!!! My gf ended up beating her ass cuz you don't know us!!!! That's what you get for acting like that. Even though she provoked it they kicked us out and let her stay. This place is wack. Don't come here smh ‍ read more

The bar itself is okay, but the KJ with the gray hair is awful. One of the worst I have seen in years, and I regularly go to karaoke (1-4 times a week). I tip really well. He skips people who he doesn't like their songs, even if they are before others. It is understandable if a kj adds new people at the end, however, several people who sang in the first round after me got to sing again. Karaoke had started at 9:30 pm and I still hadn't sung a second song by 11:30 pm, when others in the first round had all sung a second song. Really disappointing experience! Absolutely DO NOT recommend. I only came here because I was attending a birthday party. There are WAY better karaoke places where the KJ's run fair rotational orders. It sucks to because they only accept cash. I feel like i wasted my money. read more

Best place to hang out! I was waiting for a friend and all the bar peeps were friendly and engaging. Great drinks and Julio? I think his name was, was my bartender for the first hour or 2 and was so kind and engaging. Loved his personality and his sense of humor. He was very genuine in his approach towards me. Very nice person and I complimented him at the shift change as the 2nd bar guy took over. Second bartender, Miguel. That went differently. I had been hanging out till my friend showed up and he's was late so I had a drink and some water. I was trying to get Miguel's attention to order another drink/water. He had been chatting with the guys at the other end of the bar, obviously regulars, for awhile. He was not making drinks....he was chatting with the patrons, I get it, make your money honey .... but I was not being rude or loud and another regular, a younger guy, was trying to help me from across the bar, by getting his attention for me. As my friend walked in and sat down next to me Miguel came over and began telling me that I was rude, he was with other customers, it's just rude to interrupt him like that, I needed to wait my turn, and what did I want?... etc. I was so embarrassed in front of my friend and the guy across the bar was mouth open WTF? I said "Wow, sorry, just needed some water". He then asked My friend in a very pleasant tone what did he want? We ended up leaving. Dude. Who peed in your corn flakes and why are you taking it out on me? Look I don't want to create trouble because hospitality is a hard job!!! I know that, but I also know that 25 years experience in the hospitality industry allows me a certain amount of professional judgement. Great establishment, very nice clientele, but Some customer service training wouldn't go amiss. You just don't embarrass customers like that. read more

Random little dive bar in the LBC that features pool, karaoke, cocktails, and bit more cock than tails. If you catch my drift. Bad joke aside, I came here looking for some random karaoke fun. I found the karaoke, but the fun was sorely lacking. I think the predominantly gay crowd took itself a bit too seriously and sang mostly sappy love songs from popular gay acts such as such as George Michael, Elton John, and Coldplay. When I went on stage, people showed genuine enthusiasm for my upbeat songs and performances, but the rest of the singers did not follow my lead. It was just one bad depressing song after another that were sandwiched in between me. Oh yeah, please remind me to never use the phrase "sandwiched in between me" when discussing a gay bar. Anyway, the depressing songs mixed with the really dark interior gave the place a gloomy vibe. I sort of wished these guys would have a stiff one (drink, that is), take the huge stick out of their butt (figuratively speaking), and sing some fun songs by Madonna, Lady Gaga, and of course, Queen. Now that would make want to rock out with my sock out. Wait. Did you think I was going to say... Anyway, this place has potential. But right now, the overall karaoke mood is a bit somber for me. And plus, no one hit on me. Technically, I am straight. But sometimes when on business, a guy enjoys a free drink and good conversation. Am I losing my boyish appeal? Does this mean I need to develop a personality? read more

Okay Okay...I've read the out-of-town primadonnas slashing the Broadway Bar, and I have to admit...in some cases it's true. Karaoke really hasn't been the same since Bobby left back in January. With Ernesto down to just Fridays on the weekends, my desire to go back to the bar are slim to none. I love a good watering hole, and yes it REALLY IS the Star Wars Cantina at times, but that's what makes Long Beach so colorful. We don't have a thousand carbon copies like *ahem* WEHO, rather a sort of Catch-All assortment. The bar has parking, but there really needs to be a bouncerthat can REALLY do the job, not just someone looking for a few bucks in their pocket on the weekend. Look folks, if you're looking for "Fab" or something trendy...don't waste your gas, please stay in Hollywood. We actually appreciate diversity down here at the beach. I never thought I'd defend the likes of the Broadway Bar, but damnit...YOU DON'T MESS WITH LONG BEACH, M'kay? Oh, and that comment about the Heater being so flippin hot...YOU WERE RIGHT ON!

I stumbled into this Gay Karaoke bar with about 8 Marines, 1 Coast Guard and 3 civilians (I being one of the civilians). We were hanging out for 2 birthdays. The bar tender was friendly, the karaoke dj was good to us, the cliental LOVED us. One older gentlemen told my BF that the marines reminded him of his days in the Korean war. :) Drinks are cheap, place is a little dingy and for the most part we went conflict free. We did get scolded for singing along to one karaoke song by someone that said they worked there, but everyone quieted down and respected her voice time. I will definitely be back, sans Marines, to enjoy this establishment in the future. read more

Definitely worth it! The vibes are unmatched. It's a unique blend of "top notch cocktail crafting" and "beer and a hot pretzel after work." You can dress up, you can dress down, it's very 'just be yourself' which I love. I've literally had caviar AND hot dogs there in the same night at an event. They know how to blend high/low. Incredible knowledge and ingredients but not snooty patootie. Super inclusive and fun, with cool popups and events happening all the time. It's a full bar so you can get any cocktail you would normally order if you're keeping it simple, or beer, wine, boilermakers, etc. There's a span of offerings and price points, so something for everyone. (Also really good N/A cocktails!) The menu is super inventive and creative! And the cocktail menu changes out every so often so there are new things to try. This area is vintage vibes and Baby Gee speaks it fluently. Really cool decor, curated by the owners who design everything from the playlist to the cocktails to the invention of never-before-seen flavors and shapes of jello shots. Try the Baby Gee appletini while you're there. Mezcal, tequila, sake appletini you ask?? Yes. Trust. And get a hot dog. Do it.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

Thankfully, I had communications with said team member, but he still continuously monitored our group for house while at Halo, all the way to our reservation downstairs at the Sky Room. He was beyond crass and clearly didn't uphold the level of customer care experience most Fairmont establishments do across the globe. One bright spot was the bartender Roberto--he was a masterful mixologist and had a wonderfully kind personality that radiated to all customers. He is a gem and should be acknowledged for his level of professionalism and top-tier talents. Unfortunately, I will not be visiting again nor recommending it to others.

The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

It almost has a lychee taste to it, even though that's not an ingredient! "Pelon Divino" - If you enjoyed eating pulparindo as a kid, then you'll love this cocktail. I'm not usually a fan of mezcal, but the smokiness is so smooth and almost needed to balance out the tamarindo. Probably the first time I've truly enjoyed a mezcal in my cocktail! "Taco de Pork Belly" - INSANELY GOOD. Pork belly was so crispy and juicy. The pico de gallo was perfect. And the handmade in house blue corn tortillas were DELICIOUS. "Taco de Camaron" - Also delicious. Shrimp was juicy and seasoned well. "Carnitas" - This was recommended to us by the staff and it did not disappoint. The meat fell off the bone and was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The black beans were also soooo flavorful and the perfect texture. This dish was enough food for two people to share if you started your evening with appetizers. Viaje is the perfect place for a solo meal, date night or meeting up with some friends for dinner. I will 100% be back and will be telling everyone I know about this restaurant. Keep it up Viaje!

This place really fooled us. The food was a 2-star experience, but the service was absolutely…read more5-star. The staff was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. We knew it wasn't a traditional Mexican restaurant, which was perfectly fine, but unfortunately the food just didn't deliver. The ceviche was served in what tasted like a cold tomato soup, garnished with microgreens, cilantro, and other greens. Great presentations but the flavors just didn't work for us. The carnitas were the biggest disappointment. They were served more like barbecue ribs and were very tough. They definitely weren't the tender, flavorful carnitas we were expecting to enjoy with tortillas. The chips were good, and management stopped by to check on us, which was appreciated. I really wish the food had matched the level of service and atmosphere. We didn't want to chance it with dessert so we skipped dessert and after dinner drinks.

First impression, why did we need reservations.... Since we didn't know the hidden entrance. Well, it's a cool concept once we entered. There's a dress code so be advised. What I found out was the entrance of the speakeasy was through a phone booth that next to the pool table of Roxanne's bar. Once reservations is made, you'll received an email with a password to enter. Enter phone booth and to connect to the inside and they'll open the door for you. We had the first reservations I believe they opened at 7pm. We were the first group to arrive. As it was my first time, we had ordered bar food and were waiting for it inside the main bar. So half an hour was used from our time limit. The speakeasy, dark and moody but perfect for the place. Special crafted cocktails by the bartenders which were great. They also have food as well, found out later. We did try the meat pie, which it was just ok. Basically an empanadas, the pickle veggies accompanied it was my favorite. It was good but nothing major to rave about. The drinks were quite nice and tasty. What they offered on the menu did have a load of good choices. Tables scattered throughout as well as bar seating. There's a piano which maybe used for live music. Overall, the moody speakeasy vibe was great. Friendly staff and bartender made some great drinks. What we had to snack on, the meat pie was just ok. They're very strict with the time limits. Once it's reached they'll let you know.

I ordered medium spice, which turned out to be "medium if you breathe fire for fun." The papaya was also a little more raw than I personally like. The tom kha soup was decent, but the real MVP was the drunken noodles with beef. Those noodles were absolutely swimming in savory goodness and perfectly soft. I would've happily ordered a second plate and called it "dessert." Overall, I'd definitely come back--mostly because those drunken noodles are already living rent-free in my head.

For starters, we got the Parker House Rolls, which comes with truffle butter, local citrus honey, and grana padano cheese. These rolls were so fluffy and flavorful. We also ordered the hummus, which was so rich and creamy, and the oysters from the raw bar. For the main, we ordered the Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop, Fish & Chips, and the Wedge salad to share. And let me tell you, that everything was so good. The Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop came with a whole show, where staff would bring out the dish in a smoke-infused glass dome and open the dome when presented on the table so we can smell and see all the smoke. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but it tasted just as beautifully. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rainbow swiss chard, cheddar grits, candied pecans, and avocado honey helped balance out all the juiciness from the meat. They use haddock fillet for the Fish & Chips, which was fried to perfection. The Wedge Salad is what actually knocked my socks off! This was one of the best wedge salads that I've ever had. It had your key ingredients: iceberg, buttermilk dressing, red onion, crumbled egg, tomato, bacon gastrique, blue cheese, dill, chives - but something about this salad was different! It was so refreshing, flavorful--just everything you want in a dish. We ended the dining experience with their Peach Cobbler Hand Pie, which came with streusel, pistachio crumble, salted caramel, and vanilla ice cream. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the area!

Plenty to do and see on 2nd street. We ordered the party platter for 4 people! It was the perfect amount of food with leftovers to take home. Everything was cooked to PERFECTION. Our beef was a textbook medium rare and was so juicy and tender, as was the rest of the meat. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, as was all the shawarma. All meats were seasoned beautifully. The rice underneath was stunning as well and really caught all the juices from the meat on top. The roasted tomatoes, onions, and pickles were the perfect compliments to help freshen up the palette during the meal. The sauces were amazing and there was a clear favorite (the garlic sauce) which was annihilated by all four of us. Service was friendly! It was very packed so it was slow at times but understandably so. They come by and give you orange blossom water for your hands post meal - what a treat! We smelled amazing! NO NOTES FOR OPEN SESAME! I have to come back with more friends! We did have an issue but it was with another patron who had the audacity to yell at my table (while I was in the restroom) for "having too much fun"?!?! This is a public restaurant and it was loud as hell in there because it's tight and everyone talks over each other, not to mention the open kitchen. The energy in the restaurant is exciting and frenetic. If you want a quiet dinner f*cking STAY HOME and leave the streets to those of us who have had a WEEK and want to enjoy a fun dinner with friends. We will be back and we will have even MORE FUN, xoxo.

Yesterday I went into Broadway bar with six of my woman friends. We entered through the back way. The door man could barely stand he was so drunk. I thought this was odd because that's illegal. But also it was Long Beach pride and SHIT happens. We proceeded to hand over our ID's but reluctantly. He checked them all and we went in. As the last of us enter ANOTHER man starts yelling I need to check your ID to one of our friends. She doesn't give him mind because we already got checked and at this point we're weirded out that a loud man outside in the parking lot is yelling at us. And we walk in. This man continued to huff and puff following us in and references someone named DANE whoever that is and he walks behind the bar and talks to a bartender. My friend goes to talk to them and the bartender's response to her is "GET THE FUCK OUT!" She tried to talk to him again and he said the same thing and walked away. Im furious at this point and I leave through the front. NOBODY was wearing a uniform, a security label, a security shirt, a shirt that said Broadwaybar, a name tag, NOTHING. So what do they expect? no one looked official and they were DRUNK! how confusing and irresponsible. For pride weekend this is just lazy. As we all start to collect ourselves outside after being yelled at to GET THE FUCK OUT, the weird drunk "doorman" comes around from the back and asks us why we're leaving and so upset? Then He asks us if we have "an agenda?" I reply to him "what the fuck does that mean? He asks us again "why are you so angry?" I reply "because you're drunk and checking ids and that's illegal." He replies that he's not even an employee and he was watching the door for his friend the real doorman. SO again THIS BAR HAD A DRUNK STRANGER CHECKING IDs, someone handling my identification card and who knows what he could have done with it? NOT OKAY!! Plus this drunk man proceeded to follow us and took photographs of us through the windows of a corner store that we entered trying to escape him. What kind of irresponsible unprofessional dumbass people work here? Six people left this establishment! And that means the not only lost money, they lost return patronage. because they chose to have a drunk watch the door!!!!!!!!!!!! And I can't help but wonder If we were men would that have been a different story would we have been yelled at or followed or harassed? Why did we get photographed? They didn't ask permission!! Why did we get yelled at with profanity as a patron and a woman? Both Dane and that door man should be fired. How fucking illegal and rude was the situation they had going on. Fuck this place!! I'm and to be honest this place was always the chill spot the front door man with glasses and the tall bartender with glasses are friendly and do their jobs. But it always seemed to be empty and now I know why..... These other two or three employees need a reality check. What a horrible severely disappointing experience of discrimination within our own community! I wish I could give them zero stars.... but that wouldn't even describe what we went through here. read more

smells pretty bad in there, but it lives up to the "dive bar" image, complete with rude bartenders. Big bearded white guy does what most legit bars do not: doesn't say "last call", he just turns the music off 25 minutes before closing..but serves up to 10 minutes before closing if you're one of the friends he spends all night chatting with. You can get served pretty quick, when his friends aren't there. There was a female bartender, but she was so drunk she almost didn't charge me. This place needs major upgrades, starting with the staff. I get that it's a bar, but they should still focus on Customer Service, and the bartenders should not be drinking while working. read more

This place is located on the 2nd floor of Shannon's On Pine Irish Pub & Sports Bar. The first thing that stood out (after having been to Sevilla Nightclub just a mere hour before visiting this place) was how lax security was. And by lax, I mean they don't pat you or check you for guns at all. Cover IS free so that's definitely a plus. The whole place smells of marijuana smoke and the floor was kind of sticky. They do give out free water, which is nice but they don't have disposable cups, rather they have regular plastic clubs that I'm assuming are washed regularly? The music was ok. Not my thing but I can definitely groove to some Hip-Hop/R&B every now and then. The patrons were friendly and it was easy to make conversation and connect with others. Some of the people were already high as a kite there, though, lol. Again, I can't comment on the drinks or their prices, since all I usually have is soda, or water if it's available. Overall, a bit of an improvement over Sevilla in some respects, and not as good as Sevilla in others. Final Score: 3/5, just like Sevilla Nightclub down the street.

The bar is just off the promenade in downtown. Clearly, there was no way we're waiting in the line for the street party. Instead, we remembered and seen this place.

Drink specials did sound nice but we opted for the happy hour beer. Bar area was quite roomy with communal tables as well a private table.

I've been coming here since the old owner, owned this place the sewer smelled then , but now it has gotten so bad. Now that we are talking about the bathroom, some of the bathroom does not have working sink water or soap dispenser. You need to come out of the stall and use the main sinks / soap dispenser. As we peruse through the menu we did notice prices were not listed on the menu . I asked our waiter she mentioned that they are making adjustments to the price. She would gladly print out how much each dish costs once we make our selections. Food hasn't changed much , we ordered the fried quail with salt / pepper lime dip , the quail was over fried that's it was too crispy for our taste . The Tom yum soup were delicious, we all liked the steak and anchovies dip , steak cooked perfectly. Message to the new owners : please have a plumber come out to fix the bathroom issues . Other then that we enjoyed the foods, the entertainment that night was amazing and the entire wait staff were superb .
