PBS Pub is a friendly local bar located in the heart of the Wrigley district. The locals and the…read moreowner, Christine, are very nice and welcoming, which adds to the experience when you come here. A huge plus is that they're dog-friendly and allow your fur babies inside. They also have the cutest little outdoor patio that gives the feel of enjoying brews at someone's backyard party. I love the selection of beer here and definitely recommend the berry-flavored brew from the locally owned Ambitious Ales. They also host really fun karaoke nights on Saturdays! Overall, I recommend this neighborhood pub to anyone in the area looking for a new bar!

My friends and I came here on a whim on a random Tuesday night since a restaurant we wanted to try…read morenot too far away was randomly closed. We came here to grab a beer and decide where we wanted to eat in the meantime. Glad we did because they have a pretty decent selection of beer on tap here and even have happy hour for a pretty long time in the evening Monday through Thursday. They also have a very spacious outdoor patio that had a nice little aesthetic going for it as well. I'd definitely come back here any other time. The staff and even customers were all really nice!

Full disclosure, I came here because of a barbecue pop-up that I wanted to visit. But for me, I was just happy that I was at a brewery so I can try some of the beers as well. I liked the crispy beers on tap that went well with the barbecue. They also made for easy drinking in the patio area. All the folks here that I interacted with were very friendly, including both people that worked at the brewery and other patrons. I actually made two new friends while having a drink in the patio area lol. They also serve their own pizza here, but as I mentioned before, I was here for the barbecue with the Cambodian celebration happening in the parking lot. Definitely wanna come back and try the pizza though. There's a parking lot for the usual days without celebrations, but if for whatever reason, parking lot is full, there's plenty of street parking nearby

Great customer service, great atmosphere, I enjoy coming for the pop ups!…read more I always get the pizza from the kitchen too

The back or rear of the bar includes a wide open space that is perfect for private birthday gatherings or barbecues or kickbacks. The bartenders do a good job of keeping the spot lively while people are carrying on. Evelyn and Jeanette did well pouring drinks. Both seemed to take the atmosphere/ambience of the bar and customer satisfaction seriously. The staff made an effort to get the bar ready for Halloween. Someone on the staff painted the restrooms in the spirit of the film The Shining. Signs like "redrum" and "666" were written on the walls in red. Someone definitely achieved the crime scene in a bad horror movie look he or she was going for. Drinks and service were fine. I mostly saw people drinking beer. The barstaff was quick to help me. The other customers never wanted for drinks or attention. Credit to the bar staff. 5 stars for being a real dive.

If you haven't met **Jessica** at **Bixby Sports Pub**, you're seriously missing out on one of the…read morebest bartenders in the business. She looks like Pocahontas, serves beer like it's an Olympic sport, and somehow manages to keep a smile on her face even after telling you she's got **seven kids** JJ (yes, seven -- and she still has more energy than anyone else in the room). She's got a **sarcastic sense of humor** that'll keep you laughing even if your team's losing, and if you bring up **bowling or NASCAR**, buckle up -- you're in for a conversation you won't forget. Whether she's pouring your favorite brew or roasting you for ordering "fancy wine" at a sports pub, Jessica makes every visit a good time. Bottom line: come for the beer, stay for Jessica's charm, wit, and world-class sarcasm.

Being born and raised in Germany, my fiancé is a sucker for German restaurants and brews! We tend…read moreto go to different ones to see where we can get the best schnitzel. We've actually been to another restaurant under the same company as Rasselbock, so we were delighted to be able to stop by since it's close by! We parked in the very back of the restaurant in the little plaza, and were seated with ease. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating, especially for furry friends. We originally sat inside, but our friend brought his dog, so we moved outside. We had ordered several drinks and had sat at the restaurant for over 6 hours. We ordered a range of BRLO IPA, Hacker, their seasonal beer, and more. As for food, we ordered their jagerscnitzel, Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, spatzle, and beignets! Our friend ordered their bratwurst with sauerkraut. We were very impressed with how delicious and fresh everything was. It was extremely savory and crispy. Quite addicting alongside our beers. Our servers were very delightful and very accommodating to our needs. They provided support and checked in on us frequently. We never were rushed to leave and were able to enjoy our conversations. I'm an advocate for good food, good service, and great brews! Please expect us to be back!

The Kasekrainer dinner was great. I also added a Hungarian Debreziner which was average. For sides…read moreI choose Sauerkraut (great), and potato salad (average and dry). The German Soft Pretzel was average. The Obatzda cheese spread got boring after a while. The Kasespatzle had a very mild flavorless cheese sauce. I needed to add salt to it. They should choose a sharper cheese for this dish.

If you're looking for rude and unprofessional staff, this is the place to go. The service here was…read morebeyond unacceptable especially from a girl named TINA with tattoos wing on her back, who was openly disrespectful toward customers. We were having a minor issue while trying to use our card, and instead of offering help, she snapped and said, "That's your problem." Excuse me? That's not how you speak to paying customers. The attitude, the tone, and the lack of basic courtesy were astonishing. It's clear that respect and professionalism don't exist in this place. The environment felt trashy, and the staff treated guests with zero regard. This was my first and definitely my last visit. It's sad that women working here are treated more like decoration than employees, it's degrading and uncomfortable to witness. This establishment needs serious management intervention and staff training because this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

Ambitious Ales is a great beer hall in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach. They have plenty of seating, they…read morehave a solid rotation of food vendors (including Thunderbolt Pizza next door), and they have creative beers with unique flavors. On the day that I went, they had a mariscos vendor that sold delicious ceviches. Note that during peak dinner hours, the wait times for pizza from Thunderbolt can be close to 30 minutes. I went with Ambitious Ale's Central Perk, which was a blonde ale with madagascar vanilla and guatemalan coffee notes, and these flavors were surprisingly present and not subtle. They had tons of unique flavor options here and I definitely would love to come back to try some cold ones with some pizza. Their fruity options were pretty popular with my work group. Their Jollibeer (inspired by the Peach and Mango pies at Jollibee) was a lager with mango and peach puree. The beers I had were crisp, full flavored, and ice cold. Perfect at the end of a work week! It's really nice that they have a nice space in the back to host a group of two or a group of twenty. This is a great pillar in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood.

The drinks are delicious…read more The only issue for me and my friend group had was from the female bartender with curly hair and glasses. Was super rude when I asked to sample a flavor. We came back to order a drink and because we didn't say the drink name Correctly she screamed at my husband and friend and said " That not what it's called I already told your cousin or brother whoever it is ." Then proceeded to raise her hand and make hand gestures because she was annoyed. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! She needs to learn customer service, and it clearly shows in your reviews that she continues to give bad customer service. Please do better!

It's 1:49 AM, & here I am typing a review of The Wrigley Tavern. My friend randomly picked me up…read morefrom home at 11:50 pm & suggested we drive around & find something to do. I'm a hermit, homebody, professional procrastinator, & I was repeatedly turning down a last minute night out. Either way I ended up outside in my Kirkland sweatpants, a zip up hoodie, & a KUFFIYEH. We rendezvous at the local 711 for hot chocolate and lotto tickets and decided on the Wrigley Tavern. Best decision we made all day! We sat down took in the ambiance and said "this is a nice little gem." Ordered water, wine, and a flat bread pizza. Overall we enjoyed the ambiance. The lighting is dim, the decor is nice, and the music playing through the speaker system is at the perfect setting. Loud enough to hear the lyrics yet light enough to have a conversation with someone & actually understand what the other person is saying. The wine was great, and the water was very refreshing, at the same time that we said... "this water is perfect..." The small clique on the opposite end shouted "This is the best F*** water I ever had!" The flat bread, was maybe a bit too salty, and burnt on the edges BUT let me tell you the regulars at the bar boost this place up to a 5 out of 5! While we were catching up "the clique," placed at the corner of the bar; was randomly chatting in Spanglish, and just about every other sentence was nothing but entertaining. At one point one of the guys was leaning upwards as if he was doing parkour on on his stud lady friend. And may the universe bless the flamboyant guy who shouted... "Remember when I B*** slapped you like it was a soap opera?!" A few mins later they were reenacting a Mexican-Spanish Tele Novella. I asked them for a rewind and of course I filmed it. As soon as they were done, I looked over to my friend and we both said "we're coming back!" The bartender was nice and he indeed let us know that these bar actors are regulars. Both my brothers bartend locally and you bet I sent them photos and video, asking "why don't you have people like this at your pub?!" If I could give out more stars I would. Happy holidays!

We came to meet some friends for drinks and a pizza. I remember walking by this place a while back…read moreand noticed it. It was quite lovely on the patio. Mid week when we arrived which wasn't too crazy. There was no one on the patio which was nice as it gave us first choice for a seat...lol... Everyone was seating inside. The place itself isn't that big. You have the bar area with some bar seating. Then there's a couple of tables inside and of course the patio which is along the sidewalk. Personally I prefer sitting outside for the people watching. The staff were all amazing and very friendly. Places like that make the experiences more enjoyable. You want someone who is friendly and respectful. As we were there early, we grabbed one of the beer which they have quite a good selection on tap. There's also wine if you're not into beer. When it came time to grab some food, we were able to get a table inside. Majority of the breweries tends to serve pretty much the same things, pizza sandwiches and salads. No complaints here. Simple food goes a long way. There were a couple of us so we grabbed a few things to share. Started off with the pretzel balls with cheese dip and honey mustard and the chips with queso cheese dip. Pretzel was tasty and outdid the queso dip. Pizzas of course which were pretty big in sizes. A couple of the pizzas and a salad did four of us with leftovers. Their Hawaiian pizza was quite tasty and was finished. We also ordered one of the mushroom pizzas with an egg. It was tasty but a little on the salty side. The arugula salad was delicious. Simple but tasty. And then there was ham pizza I believe with onions and peppercini. That was also a favorite of the night. Overall, the place was quite fun. Not a big brewery and more intimate. The crowd was great and as most places are very kid and family friendly. There was couple of kids when we arrived. Service was great. Food and drinks were enjoyed and the service and staff were excellent. Street parking available along the front but also along the neighborhood.
