    Halloween 2024 3pm Peanut Butter Stout from Belching Beaver Brewery at PBS PUB. Party happening later tonight Halloween themed tv screenings

    Pickle eggs

    Excellent service, incredible atmosphere. I love this place. The service I received was excellent. I'm a beer fan, and they knew exactly the type of beer I like. The owners are very attentive. I really liked their snacks, the pickled eggs. You have to try them.

    Came here for an engagement party so not sure how much I can review as 100% the establishment. Regardless, had a great time here and would 8/10 return. Had a beer to drink (forgot the name) as well as Pinot noir (Called Old Soul 2020 and honestly one of the best Pinots I've had). We were seated outside due to the large party for the engagement party. This was the height of the heat wave so it was pretty toasty though it was evening. They only had one fan outside but I've noticed that most establishments haven't had fans outside during this heat one. So one is better than none. UPDATE: they reached out, 5 stars

    Found me another watering hole in the LBC Didn't know about this place as I guess it was closed for a while. Found it yesterday when looking for a place to go to, to drown my sorrows. Or at the least drink them away. Kidding aside ... On Willow. Southside of the street between Magnolia and Eucalyptus. No private parking lot. Street parking. Found a bunch on Eucalyptus and walked over. I don't trust parking on Willow. But you do what you feel comfortable. Service was awesome. Between Letty and Didi - hope I spelled their names right - my friend and I had a chill time catching up, out on their outdoor patio. On that note - there's seating both in and outside, two TV's and a pool table. Jukebox with a great selection of tunes. At least it was to me. For those who need to know - there's a gender neutral bathroom. Clean too. No food here but a lot of pours. Draft and both bottles and cans. Great Happy hour prices to where I questioned my bill because it was so low. Usually it's the other way around. You can bring food in or there's an agreement with the Bread Company. I really like this place. On my list of "definitely will be back".

    Always wanted to check out this place after they took new ownership and remodeled the place. Service - The staff here is super friendly and very easygoing and will go out of the way to make your stay feel great. Venue - From outside the place looks tiny, but once you get inside, the place is a good size, and the outside patio is very chill and relaxing. Prices - Fair pricing. Drinks - They only serve beer and wine, but the selection is great, and they always have samples of different stuff. Food - They will soon get food going, but in the meantime, they offer some great Filipino style peanut and sometimes have colabs with food vendors that cook up a great meal. Overall, it was a great place and will be my go-to in accession.

    PBS is a great spot in Wrigley, especially for taco tuesdays. The bartender is very nice. We had a La Chouffe and San Miguel as happy hour specials, then a passion fruit ale later on. Our shrimp tacos were good, but the chips and guacamole were excellent. Those may be the best fresh tortilla chips I've ever had. We don't live in Wrigley, but I wish our neighborhood had a PBS Pub too.

    When they ask if you want peanuts, say yes!

We've spent many occasions and life's moments here as well, From birthday dinners to at one time making it out Sunday Supper place to catch a traditional set and our dinner. The Sunday musicians are so good back in 2012 we hired a few to play at our engagement party, and brought a bit of the Auld Dub into our home. Today was no different, popped In for a family birthday celebration and stayed for a Sunday set. The music was fabulous the food amazing and the staff excellent! Ordered the usual: Curry Chips (cooked extra Well Done), and the best corned beef sandwich this side of the Atlantic! It's served perfectly on a crunchy swirled rye bread with an amazing apple jam of apples and caramelized onions. Just excellent! We also ordered an Irish Full Breakfast, which my soul craves every now and then! Basically you can't go wrong eating here.

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.

Nope. She is the problem. Even the regulars mentioned they can't stand when she bartends because her attitude is so terrible. Fix your system please. Get better people.

    1 Star - Worst Experience I've Ever Had at a Bar…read more I've been to The Blind Donkey in downtown Long Beach before but what happened last night deserves to be shared. I came here with a friend last night and ordered a blonde beer that tasted completely off -- it genuinely tasted like blue cheese. My friend encouraged me to ask for a replacement since something was clearly wrong with it. When she brought it to the bar, the bartender told her he'd replace it and that it was on the house, but then made her pay for the second drink anyway. If I had known she'd still be charged, I would've just not asked for another drink. When I came up to the bar to clarify why she paid for something he said was comped, the bartender backtracked and said he "didn't mean" that. I asked if they could void the second charge, since this was supposed to be a simple replacement. He kept explaining that he is charging us for this second one because it was not a blonde, it was a white ale. I told him that's fine, but why did he say it was "on the house" and now charging us anyway? He ended up bringing over the manager. The manager was a short, Latino man with a hat on. He was incredibly rude from the moment he arrived explaining the beer was a blonde- which I know what I ordered, but tasted whack. He didn't look at us, didn't listen to anything we were saying, and without asking a single question he grabbed both drinks we paid for and dumped them down the drain. We were stunned -- we paid for both of them and now had nothing. When he came back, I calmly told him we paid for both drinks he just threw out. His response? "Don't expect to come here and get free drinks." Which is wild considering we never asked for anything free -- we were just trying to get the mistaken charge fixed. When I told him he needed to void the drink he dumped, he called security on us. We weren't loud, drunk, or confrontational. Security refused to give us the manager's name, and only one finally whispered "Ken," though at that point it felt like they were just saying anything to get us out the door. I've worked in customer-facing roles before. I understand dive bars aren't known for luxury service, but this wasn't about service -- it was about basic respect, integrity, and not charging customers for drinks you throw away yourself. I'm leaving this review as a Long Beach local, it's saddening to see how a popular bar like The Blind Donkey treats their customers. This was the worst experience I've ever had.
