Great vibes, great pizza, great drinks! Would come here again for a hangout! Plenty of parking in the back of the bar. The only thing is that you have to bus the table yourself, which is kind of annoying because it gets pretty crowded and it's harder to wipe down the tables if you need to. We got a Mushroom Wilds Pizza, which I really liked. I think all their foods are vegetarian. The drinks were prepared quickly. Food took longer to be ready, about 20 minutes for us. For drinks, I tried a fig-flavored beer (don't remember the name), which was light and sweet. I also liked their margarita and slushie. They messed up one of our drinks, so they gave us a Paloma on the house which was also good! read more

So this might be it for visits to LB Beer Lab. Whenever they have a special beer and dessert pairing we make the hour drive south. We get there first thing Sunday morning and our told that they only have 3 of the 4 desserts available. No idea why. Don't you make the same amount of each? If there was a problem with one, don't you make more? The desserts were good and the beer was good. But their lack of product for a third of the promotion is ridiculous Also, they never seem to be properly set up for opening. Long line forms while worker is still settling up the beers, tv, and pinball read more

Beer is amazing, lots of options. I really loved the sour & fruity options. The pizza was delicious and that caught us by surprise. Love all the community flyers and events hosted here! Ambiance is family friendly and location is fairly large. Service was great but they do look under staffed. Love the idea of pinball machines and beer. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Decent brewery. Looks cool on the outside. Beer is alright, a little watered down. Tried several beers and a they were a little weak. Went here on a Friday night it was semi busy. Parking only on the street. I noticed they also had food but didn't try any. Staff is cool and friendly. I'll stick to ten mile brewery. It's fire. read more

When a biochemist and a classically trained French pastry chef couple opened shop, we got Long Beach Beer Lab. Together they combine science, fermentation, and local quality ingredients to create some awesome craft beers and baked goods. The brewery specializes in sours but they also make IPAs, lagers, and stouts. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I appreciate that they have a sparkling Moscow mule cocktail, a house Chardonnay and a house Cabernet Sauvignon. LB Beer Lab is on my top 5 list of pizzas in this city and it's all because of my love for the Mushrooms Wild pizza. All of their pizzas are made with a beer malt sourdough crust and I recommend dipping the crust in their very garlicky marinara sauce! The Mushrooms Wild pizza has a creamy ricotta base, Local Long Beach mushrooms, caramelized onions, confit garlic, mozzarella, and topped with spring greens, fresh cherry tomatoes, and a lemony, parsley dressing. Yes, it's like a salad pizza and I love the zesty dressing! Their Margherita is quite popular with its star shaped crust and the Spicy Summer with Worthington Meatless pepperoni is good too. In fact, all of their items are vegetarian here. The garlic knots and beignets are bite-sized with a mochi-doughnut-like chewy texture. Both are great for sharing. Order at the register and they'll pour your drink and serve your food when it's ready. Food comes out pretty quickly. Plenty of indoor seating and family friendly with board games and lots of pin ball machines! Free parking lot in the back too! Check their schedule as they have different hours of operation and are closed on Thursdays. Happy to see they have expanded and opened a couple of other locations in Long Beach too! read more

Long Beach Beer Lab is a great place to grab a cold beer, specialty drink, a tasty pizza, and a delicious salad. There are also plenty of vegetarian friendly options. My favorite is the vegan pepperoni pizza. The service is always great, and we have never had a bad experience there. If you are into playing pinball, this is a must visit as they have a wide array of games to experience. If you don't have any quarters, don't worry, they have a coin machine readily available. This place does not disappoint. Five stars for sure. read more

Delicious sourdough crust!! I loved the mushroom pizza I ordered- it tasted very fresh and a nice citrus zing to each bite because of the lemon dressing on it. I came here for trivia night (every Wednesday 7-9pm). It was super fun and great ambiance to go with friend or small groups. Even solo. My friends also liked their pizzas and drinks. Staff are very friendly and nice. The place has arcade games and lots of events regularly. Nice discovery! read more

Long Beach Beer Lab - Pizza was so good! - Breweries Near Me - Long Beach, California

Today we celebrated my Ninos birthday. It was our first time here & I must say, we had a very good time with our kiddos, family & friends. They had an isle of pinball machines & a separate little table with other games. They also had a guitarist playing live music. The staff were very nice! Even though the food was vegan, it was tasty. The Margarita pizza was amazing! We also ordered a grilled cheese & a side of fries for the kids. Now for the drinks.... I ordered a spike berry lemonade slush. That was right up my alley, delicious! My husband ordered the Sublime Beer & the Dad Beer. We would definitely come back! read more

My kids took me to Long Beach Beer Lab for lunch on my birthday, and wow -- what a treat! I absolutely loved it. The space is fun, bright, and welcoming, and everything we ordered hit the spot. The beer and pizza combo here is perfection. I was especially happy (and pleasantly surprised) to find out it's a kosher establishment -- which, if you know, you know! I immediately understood that their "meat" had to play nice with their "cheese," and that made me appreciate the thoughtfulness behind their menu even more. I can see how that might go over some heads (hence a few mixed reviews out there), but my crew and I get it -- and we love it! My favorite pizza was the Margherita -- I'm not big on faux meats -- and their West Coast IPA, Hops, is a total winner. Also, the Long Beach Salad was SO fresh and flavorful. Funny side note: the checker at Lazy Acres in Hermosa Beach actually turned me on to LBBL when I was buying a 4-pack of Dad Beer -- and she was absolutely spot on with the recommendation. All in all, this place made my birthday extra special. Great vibe, great food, great people. Shalom, and cheers to the crew at Long Beach Beer Lab! 5 stars read more

If you're ever around the area you need to stop by!! The pizzas here are so good, you won't be disappointed! The service is exceptional and they let you try beers before purchasing them which is amazing. They are super attentive and they allow for you to bring your dogs and of course I took my puppy with me! We went on a Friday night and the music was perfect, the crowd was super cool and everyone seemed like they were enjoying their time!! The pinball machines are super fun and the place is filled with lots of locals! read more

Highly recommend the Rib Crusher 50000, a triple hazy IPA collab with ambitious ales. 12oz is $9 and 6oz is $6. Super smooth, not too hoppy for a triple, and has a slightly fruity sweetness to it. Nice brew while enjoying the NBA game on TV. read more

This brewery is pretty awesome. They make their own bread and therefore their own pizza and other sides. We got the seasonal pizza, garlic knots and fries. All were excellent, especially the pizza. The beer is also great. It looks to be seasonal as their tap seems to rotate with many different beers ranging from lagers to stouts to sours and ipas. The space has opened up to a new larger area where there's also pinball machines and games. Overall this vibe and upstairs is also very cool. read more

Food was great - my party of three ordered 1 pizza, and some beers. The local offerings on tap were great. Parking was easy on the street. The man at the register was easy-going and got us all sorted very promptly. I enjoyed the vibe especially with the pinball machine collection. I'd be down to go back again. read more

Always liked this place. Good beer, good food, awesome pinball collection. They even let me pay for my beer in Bitcoin...super cool!

The ambiance was nice; there are two separate rooms, the event space where events are held (line dancing when I went) and the bar area. It was a holiday weekend so the staff seemed busy which might explain why our table wasn't cleaned and the water cups ran out. There weren't any napkins available. The food was decent. I would skip the beignets (they were mini and didn't taste authentic, more like frozen and fried). But the cheese pizza was good! I wasn't expecting it to be as flavorful as it was especially considering that it was vegetarian and i normally prefer meat toppings on my pizza. The orange creamsicle slushie was also good, so good that they ran out of it as I was getting my serving. read more

Steve and I recently had some beer frombLong Beach Beer Lab and I have to say we were both highly impressed with what we had. It was a beer type we don't often get but usually enjoy, a Schwarzbier, a kind of dark lager called May The Schwartz Be With You which is a reference to Spaceballs movie. We really liked this beer a lot! We enjoyed the flavors of maltiness, smokiness and hoppiness. The beer is nice and dark in appearance and in body it goes down nice and smooth. An excellent Schwarzbier, that much is for certain! read more

After receiving raw chicken pizza at Buono's we came here only to learn the kitchen closed at 8 PM. Next we went to Sorrento's who, despite an advertised closing time of 10 PM, had stopped making pizza by 9:06 PM. Pretty crappy Sunday night in the LBC. I'd say. I am way spoiled by the hours, both advertised and upheld, by Elbow Room and Garage Pizza. read more

Solid drinks, solid cocktails. Enjoyed people watching here, especially during trivia night.

A solid OK. Fun building, cool to see inside of the beer lab. They have trivia and things. Would not come here specifically for dining. Very limited menu. Ordered the margarita pizza which was said to be the best, it wasn't bad. Lots of crust. I order a side of basil oil, so much crust you need 2 sauces. Service was Eh- just sufficient. You have to order at the counter, you have to go back to the counter to get your items, there are signs to bus your table and they still have a tip prompt when paying. read more

Oh I am SUPER bummed that LB Beer Lab has decided not to bake bread or desserts anymore except perhaps at seasonal times! I loved to pop in and get a pizza, beer, and a loaf of olive bread to take home and slather with butter. So sad. But we broke traditional from ordering a full size Margherita Pizza getting a personal size one along with a personal size Mushroom Pizza. I have to say that while I think it's a great idea to have personal size pizza, they never seem to have the same gusto as a full size one. Perhaps it's just too much of the edge taking over the pie and thus less dough and toppings. While the Margherita was up to par we were woefully disappointed with the Mushroom Pizza which the staff said was an improvement over previous versions. While the super thin slices of potato didn't disrupt the pie nor do the ricotta (I love white pizzas), my question is: WHERE WERE THE MUSHROOMS! Were they chopped up? Bummed. While I loved this place, the change of dropping bread and a shortened menu list, make me wonder if it's just turning into a complete brewhouse. Bummer. read more

Long Beach Beer Lab is the type of place I'd like to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon: drink a beer, eat a pizza snack, then take a nap. It's lowkey and just kinda chill with a good food program. Apparently all of their goods are baked in house which is pretty genius since it's all fermentation. I tried their cheese pizza ($19) and it was quite possibly one of the best cheese pizzas I've ever eaten. The pizza dough was fragrant with just the right amount of pull with a solid undercarriage. The cheese easily complemented the fantastic flavor of the dough. We also shared the Mediterranean Picnic Box ($12) which is kind of an incredible deal. Ours came with hummus, pickled veggies, olives + pickles, cheese, candied nuts, sourdough crackers and some fruit. This was the perfect accompaniment to our beers just because it was a healthier alternative to what we'd usually crave after a few beers. It was snacky and excellent for sharing. I'd definitely recommend checking out Long Beach Beer Lab if you happen to be in this neck of the woods. read more

Are you are man who likes a few beers and sone comfort gravy with nice atmosphere BUT have Men's room available to upu when you need it? This place has a women's room and "all gender" restroom with a urinal & toilet but it's a single use restroom???? Why? To cater to the b.s. politics of this city? I will not come again to be inconvenienced again. First off, it's all ages kids & parents use the "would be" Men's room. How lame is that? What a waste of resources. What happened to a typical pizza & beer place with a MEN'S RESTROOM???? Not accommodating at all for real men. read more

We came for the DeMilo paint night, which was really fun! After the event we got hungry and I ordered a Margherita pizza, and it came out hot and fresh -- just the way I like it. The pizza was absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of rich tomato sauce, melty mozzarella, and a crispy yet soft crust. It was everything I was hoping for and more. I tried the Sublime beer, which complemented the pizza perfectly. I had a great time and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend both the pizza and the beer! read more

Came here to grab some eggs from a local vendor and figured, "Hey, let's support another neighborhood spot." I was born and raised in this hood ass area, so I like to give new places a try. We walk in--lured by the siren call of pizza and beer. Classic combo, right? Apparently, I missed the fine print that reads: Pizza, but only if you're morally pure and meat-free. We step up to order, all smiles, and ask for a pepperoni pizza. The woman behind the counter--who looked like she's one passive-aggressive comment away from snapping a sage stick--hits us with a flat "No." Just... "No." So naturally, we're confused. Is pepperoni illegal now? Did it offend her chakras? We ask, "No? Why not?" She says, "We don't do MEAT here." Like she just caught us shoplifting a goat. Now listen, I get it. Plant-based, cruelty-free, compost-your-thoughts, whatever. Do your thing. But maybe lead with that on the giant "PIZZA AND BEER" signage before people walk in expecting an actual menu, not a morality test. Also worth noting: If you show up in a trucker hat and say you drove in from Orange County, you'll probably be welcomed with open arms and a gluten-free crust. But if you're an Asian woman with a white husband? Be prepared for the full cold-pressed side-eye and spiritual cleansing. I left with no pizza, no beer, and a full serving of pretentious attitude. 10/10 would not recommend--unless you enjoy being judged like you asked for foie gras at a PETA rally. read more

The long beach beer lab is a gem aside from good beers you get awesome locally made breads and pizzas. I think one of the best margarita pizzas in long beach is found right here and it has a unique look to it as well. The brewery has tons of seating, brewery merch to buy and lots of arcade games to go have fun on. Service was good for the most part, there was a worker that seemed to keep wanting to flirt with a guy at the bar so we waited to get one of our bread trays for a bit. Other than her everyone else was helpful, friendly and quick. I'd for sure stop in for pizza, bread or beer. Everything here is really good. read more

I finally went to try this place out after my Fiance brags about it soo much!!! So, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed.... I don't drink alcohol so I had to buy lemonade. They only have root beer and lemonade for nonalcoholic drinks. The lemonade tased like the worst tap water and lemonade pouch! Gross! I hate root beer so I had to eat my Marguerite pizza w water! YUK!!!! I asked if I could buy coke cola somewhere and bring it in and they said NO! WTH?! So you only have 2 options AND you can't bring a soda in?!! Really??? Ridiculous! When we got our pizza it literally only had one tiny tomato on each slice!!!! So dissatisfying... The atmosphere was ok. It was cold and they had the fans going on. We played BINGO w Eva which was GREAT! She really made the place alive!!!! The food was good but the large pizza is way too small for a large! Skimpy on the toppings. It's nice looking inside. read more

We love the ambiance of Beer Lab and it's right around the corner from our house. The pizza is good but we would go way more often if 2 things were different. 1. Have better salad/ side options. The one salad they have is underwhelming at best. Maybe add a brussel sprout or some other veg option to go with pizza. 2. I know it's called beer lab but they have wine inconsistently. As a person who's not into beer but have lots of friends who are... would love if the wine supply was more consistent. All In all though Beer Lab adds good vibes to the Wrigley neighborhood read more

Thinking about what's for dinner and pizza was the option. So my date sent me a few options for pizza locations in his surrounding area .. I picked this place because what! They have a pizza with star crust!!! I immediately asked the cashier which pizza it was and it was the margarita pizza. I got that with jalapeños, added some red pepper flakes and my goodness! It's also a brewery, I didn't drink any beer. They have a few themed nights as well. Since it was Monday , it was movie Monday! There's parking in the back, you seat yourself and there's arcade games as well. Definitely would recommend this establishment read more
