    Braised Beef Short rib, Cabernet Demi Glacé, horseradish cream, Adobe Marinated Chicken Breast and Smashed Fingerling Potatoes
    Michele L.

    This was our first time at the Gaslamp in Long Beach. We came for their New Year's Eve Bash with the 80's band, The Reflexx. We had their 4 course Prix Fixe Dinner for $275 per couple. Each course took way too long in between courses. Salad: Honey Gem Salad - a few crisp gem lettuce, whipped feta, 1 large pickled watermelon radish and honey spice dressing. It was just okay. Starter: Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli with Fire-Grilled Jumbo Shrimp with lemon zest butter. It had 2 medium sized ravioli, which were 2 bites for each ravioli and just 1 jumbo shrimp. Both were a little overcooked, under seasoned and cold. Not enough lemon zest butter. Main: Duet plate with... Braised Beef Short rib, Cabernet Demi Glacé, horseradish cream. Adobe Marinated Chicken Breast with cilantro lime crema. Smashed Fingerling Potatoes with garlic and herbs. Charred Snap Peas with miso butter The braised beef short rib was tender but needed more demi glacé. Could have been more flavorsome. We don't like horseradish so we put that aside. The chicken breast was in pieces and was a little dry and under seasoned. The potatoes were very clumpy, under seasoned and could have used a sauce. Finale: Chocolate Layer Cake with berry drizzle Not a very impressive dessert finale. Very rich, sweet and very chocolatey. The berry drizzle didn't add anything to this dessert. For $275 per couple, was it worth the price? Not really, considering it took almost 3 hours for all the courses with long waits in between and the food didn't wow me. You got a half glass of champagne when you walked in but you had to buy any other drinks from the bar. This place was packed!! The Reflexx were good and had everyone dancing. The acoustics could have been better. Good DJ music when band wasn't playing. Great 80's music!! The dance floor was packed like sardines, with people pushing their way through. It would have been better to have a bigger dance floor. It didn't stop us from dancing though. Had a couple LED dancers which was fun to watch! It was a cool vibe as we all counted down to midnight!!

    The wait to get in was ridiculous, but once we got in, this place was SO fun! We bought tickets and reserved a table online for a 7:30 event. It was advertised that doors open at 6. We got there at 7 and waited in line for an hour and a half. Apparently, the house was already packed even though everyone in line had already purchased tickets. Once we got to the door, someone had to look up each of our names on a clipboard. We had missed the first band because we were kept outside so long! We reserved a table for $25 and we did not let go of it! We sat in the mezzanine and had delicious food and drink. And I'll come back for the fillet mignon skewers. The drink menu offers an array of draft beers and yummy cocktails. I'm not into sweet drinks, but I did fancy the espresso martini. Despite the wait, a good time was had. On the bright side, the venue is great. They line up fun tribute bands and great music, with different themes every Saturday. It was hard to leave. Every time we thought we were ready to go, another good dance song came up. Super fun times. I just hope they come up with a more efficient system for selling tickets and checking folks in.

    Came for the entertainment and it sure did not disappoint. The headliner was incredible. The dance floor was packed. There was an opening band as well who brought the entertainment factor to get the night started. The food leaves a bit to be desired. The menu is pretty much bar food, but nothing was exciting. Bland and over priced. Drinks also ehhh. Very watered down in my opinion. The entertainment is what's worth coming here for. So much fun!!!

    I had a fun time !!! Let's just start there because this is what the place is about. The bands have fun, we dance and sing along !! Their waiters are attentive and kind Their mocktail was great and their Cocktails definitely were strong as most people would want (atleast to get your money's worth). The only food I really liked was thier spinach artichoke dip and honestly I liked their fries too. I feel like they over pepper anything that has pepper. Like their veggies or tuna so beware of that. Everything else was OK but I didn't come for the culinary experience!

    I celebrated my 30th anniversary here. Reserved the top row of tables. The top row can accommodate at least a 100 people. All was catered with food and alcoholic beverages. We had assigned servers all night performing the pour of drinks. From Tequila to Vodka, all was poured in consistency. Food was great as well. Our invited guests enjoyed the snacks! From beefsticks, cheese plates, min burgers and fruit. All was excellent! The main attraction was a band called Knyght Ryder. They were outstanding. They play old 80s music as a cover band. All guest that had attended were very entertained by Knyght Ryder! We partied from 6pm to Midnight. Kudos to the entire Gaslamp staff that assisted us the entire night. Good food, good service and good times! This place is awesome!!! If you are in the area and its a Friday weekend. You have to stop by and listen to these guys! They dont dissapoint! Other events occur as here as well. Such events.. country night, salena night, 90s night etc..... Plenty of parking. Keep in mind there is an admission ranging from 15 to $30. But it is all worth it.

    Friday nights: It's $25 minimum per person for a table. Then you HAVE to pay $15 when you arrive because there's a live cover band show. So its minimum $40 per person to see a cover band play 80s music. Well Drinks are $15+ and appetizers are also $15+. For just 4 people: 6 drinks, 2 appetizers & 2 entrees + tip, was a little over $300. Waaaaay too much for a cover band & DJ. Food was OK. Drinks were weak & tiny. We use to go a lot & stopped for a few years. We were not expecting how expensive it all is now. Their website doesn't stipulate that the $25 does not include the entrance fee because of the band. Had I known that I would have just paid the entrance fee & ate somewhere else. There were a lot of empty tables & I know why now. Never going back. Lots of great bars in L.B.C with bands, less cover charge & no table minimum. They got greedy.

    Attended the MTv tribute band night. Lots of parking Line to get in that moved pretty quickly. We had dinner reservations and were seated at the large communal table with band members' family which was cool to hear back stories and meet new people. It was warm inside but eventually cooled down a little. We ordered wine (nice pour), Filet Mignon Skewers, and Coconut shrimp. Given the venue, I was extremely surprised by the really yummy, quality food. I would go back for the food. Thank you Lali for the attentive, fast service. Again surprised given the large parties, Lali kept everyone happy and handled a drink being spilled on her in stride. The bands were fabulous! Loved Heart of Rock & Roll. The reason for 4 Stars, I wish the stage was a little higher. I made dinner reservations in advance to get a better view. The hostess told us that if another table came up that she would move us. The guy that was seated next to us, that came in after us was moved to a better table. He later told me he had paid $50 to move to a better table. We ended up with an obstructed view in a constantly used aisle way. Since we had food, we couldn't move to the dance floor for a better view.

    We came here to see a local Guam band-Breezin, play on Fathers Day weekend. The jams were great and everyone seemed to enjoy their music as the dance floor was packed. They have ample seating and service is okay. Could be more prompt, friendly and thorough. We waited a bit to get our order taken. Could be it was Fathers Day but they weren't really crowded when we got there, at the start. The staff didn't check on us and we had to ask a few times for water or napkins before they came. Although the service wasn't great, the food was good.

    Tonight was definitely better than the night I went. It was crazy packed and everyone had a great time. New friends were made, and drinks were just right. Celebrated my friends 50th bday and it was great. Some people thought I was some kind of celebrity. (Scratches head idk ). Yes gotta come here for more 80s cover bands. Next I'll check out Prince tribute.

    I was invited here for an event and got excited to hear that there was going to be an 80s tribute band called Knyght Ryder (sorry if I misspelled that) but they were absolutely great! There was a great vibe in the room and as soon go thru the security checkpoint and pay the cover charge (only $15 for the night - what a deal!), we found our party and got seated. The food i ordered was a chicken fettuccine Alfredo and was cooked perfectly. It came w a slice of garlic bread but was a bit over cooked. The band came on awe had such a party celebrating with the whole crowd. Great music, good people, and great event. Good job Gaslamp! Highly recommend anyone who hasn't been to go.

    Gaslamp has been a staple bar, restaurant, live music/event spot in Long Beach, CA for years. The food comes in big portions full of traditional yet modern flavor. I am a huge fan of the Gaslamp Burger - Cooked to perfection and every bite melts in your mouth. My second favorite is the Gaslamp Signature Salad- This combination was a bit out of my comfort zone but when I took my first bite, the fresh, crunchy, healthy explosion of flavor got me hooked! I was there yesterday, April 8th for the Jelly of the Month Club new album release which caters to kids. Mic D leads the band with catchy, educational songs that make both kids and adults 'just wanna dance!' Thank you Gaslamp for all of the hard work yall do to ensure a unique, fun experience.

    Is there room for dancing? Do people come to dance on country Thursdays?

    There is a dance floor in front of the stage. Not sure about Thursdays.

    Is there a cover charge tonight?

    Sometimes there is. But if not they will pass around a tip jar to help out the musicians. These jobs generally don't pay well.

    If i reserve a table is it necessary for me to get tickets as well, if I want to watch the bands playing?

    There is usually a cover at the door. Tickets are also available online.

    Is there line / country dancing at this club?

    Yes

    What time does does the band start?

    Do I need reservations for Sunday Brunch?

    What kind of music | band plays on Sunday's for Brunch?

    I am afraid I cannot answer your question since we do not drink. We only went there for Sunday brunch because we had a Groupon. However, we only ordered bar food.

    Is there a dress code?

    There is not a dress code except for tank tops.

    Is any drescode?

    I found this restaurant to be very casual with a club vibe but there were some girls wearing nice dresses.

    We want to bring our kid to the Strangelove show? On some listings it says 21+ and others is says under 21 with adult. Can we bring an 8 year old?

    Yes if there's an adult with them

    What time does karaoke start on Wednesday's?

    7pm

    I'm planning on going on a Friday night with a group people, what time do they start charging for a cover charge and how much? I've been before, but forgot!

    I feel like to changes from weekend to weekend! It also depends on the event scheduled for that night. I've paid up to $20 for cover before....

    What time is dinner served 'til? A group of us got tickets to the thunder down under show tomorrow night.

    Dinner is served till 11p every night!

    As far as Thursday Country nights go does it get really crowded? I won't be able to go until after 8pm. Will it be worth my time, do they have dance room, & is the music good?

    Usually not crowded. There's a dance floor, but it's not a permanent one. Live bands play and no cover before 8pm

    Can people under 21 go to this place?

    I believe so as long as it's not a concert venue night.

    I'm going to watch a show here, which seating is better? Premium floor?

    If you want to dance, get floor. Not worth paying extra unless it's a comedy show you're watching where you actually need to stay still.

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.

We ordered a half seafood and half meat paella, with added lobster and pork belly. Unfortunately, the actual food was terrible. Main issues: * The bottom of the seafood side was completely black and burnt instead of having a crispy socarrat. There's a huge difference between crispy rice and burnt rice. * The lobster was severely overcooked, burnt, and tasted terrible. * The pork belly was an extra charge, but there was barely any visible pork belly in the dish. It honestly just looked like tiny bacon pieces. * All of the meat throughout the paella was severely overcooked. Positives: * Our waiter was very nice. * The ambiance was good. * The live music added a fun vibe. * It was my birthday, so they gave me a complimentary ice cream dessert at the end, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, none of that made up for how bad the paella itself was.
