I'd never been to Poor Richard's in the past due to lack of parking. This day was my lucky day as I got a spot right in front of the door. Walked in and met Joshua, who was a great bartender. It's a hole-in-the wall dive, which is the kind of place I love. Usually, local patrons and good pours. The jukebox was full of great hits. Worth trying if you're looking for a new place to chill. read more

Ive heard of this place and finally decided we would give it a shot. Its a small place but we found two seats at the end of the bar. We met the owner, who is a Steelers fan, so that worked out with my girlfriend. The man at the helm poured some damn good drinks and they were overall terrific. They have a scratcher machine and we decided to have a little fun while enjoying good drinks. We look forward to the day we can go in and day drink and play more scratchers and win next time. read more

Have been here off and on for probably a decade. Started coming here as it was a Dive Bar with cheap drinks and usual vibe. My good friend who owned it then was forced out by local bar group with whom property mgr 'conspired'. Still cool, higher prices than similar places in the area, especially juke box. They did do a great job on remodeling both bathrooms, which were desperately needed it. No pool table, there is a golf machine and Lotto machine. Pro tip: parking can be tricky. Street parking across the street can work. read more

1 door No windows Small but cozy bar Parking seems to be great at night Bartenders are all super nice and will talk to you if you want to talk Feels very homely to be there and the drinks are amazingly strong My limit is 3, Prices are super cheap here compared to other places Its a must try if your alone, need a quick drink, with a small group or couple. All good Also it doesn't smell and it the temperature is always perfect read more

This is the epitome of Dive Bars. Great service, strong drinks, great prices and a sticky bar. Everything you look for in a dive bar. This one features gorgeous bartenders. Not a lingerie bar, but who cares when you get good looking waitresses dressed to express their attributes. I try to stop by whenever in town. You should give it a try, but only if this is what you are looking for. read more

Best customer service. Brittany, Nicole and Connor are amazing bartenders! Jorge (the owner) was there and was so nice and friendly. A fun dive bar with Golden Tee, Touch Tunes and other games. Love! read more

Stopped in for a drink after eating at Marri's Pizza a few doors down. This wasn't my first visit to Poor Dick's by any means as I've come through at various times with friends during the last two decades. Tonight I got a bottle of Coors Light and OMG it was so refreshing and ICE COLD!!! Wow. So good. Delightful. I then noticed the beer fridge and it said it was 27°! Pretty reasonable too for drinks out at a bar, especially considering these days. Our tab total was $12 for the 2 drinks. $4 for the beer and $8 for the Captain and Coke. read more

They are nice local bar , with good drinks. I have them a photo of my uncle to hang on their remember wall. This was he's favorite place for decades read more

Dive bar. Open 6am-2am. Lottery games. Full bar. Touch tunes. A 24 hour donut shop in the same plaza. Top notch service from the amazing bar staff. This place isn't nicknamed Pour Richards for no reason. read more

Had a great experience! Britney (I hope spelled right) was awesome Definitely coming back

Happy early fourth. Thank you Josh for putting a smile on my face going into H2 2023. I believe in all of us. Those tacos are amazing. read more

Once upon a time, we fell into Poor Richard's. It is a local watering hole. They bartenders are cool and the atmosphere very casual. A day drinker's paradise! The prices are good. You can order food from next door and they will deliver it to you! A great little nook to hang out. Seems the place has been here forever. Sure glad they made it beyond the pandemic! Take a load off and have a cocktail here. The end. read more

A very dark old school Dive Bar! Have moved away but miss the locals there ! I followed my little sister Lisa there many nights over 5 years ago! now she is gone to heaven and I wish I could go back to those times! Drinks are heavy pour and the service always good ! Cool people with a calm vibe read more

The bartender Tim is the best bartender ever. He was so amazing and deserves a raise. Great guy and very nice

Dive bar to the extreme. Small bar good people. Neighborhood area with small parking lot.

I absolutely love this dive bar. The staff is super welcoming and attentive. I've had nothing but really great memories here! It's never a bad experience. Ina lol honestly the negative review obviously don't understand what a dive bar really is lol if you really are freshly 21 and want to be around college students then you're in the wrong place, honey! read more

Poor Richards is right. Not the best dive bar, didn't feel welcomed at all and does t seem like the type of place you would make friends there! Lol The drinks are cheap which is honestly the best attribute about the bar. Service was okay, didn't seem friendly. Drinks are super cheap, did I mention that? Full bar available, not many craft beers or specialty beers here if that's what you're looking for. This is a hole in the wall watering hole, that's it. Enjoy some nice tunes with the music player and that's about it. * ***********Heres a good IDEA ************* ********Did you enjoy reading the review ?****** ************PLEASE Share some ************* ************ vote for this review!**************!* read more

Love this place! Feels like home when you walk in. There's a jukebox to choose your music, stratchers if your feeling lucky and the all the drink options. I always have a great time here! I will be back often read more

Absolute shithole. And I've bartended dives before. And I say that with more sincerity than just a customer. I was assaulted outside the bar by patrons who I had no issue with, or previous interaction. The bar was of no help in locating them, although the bartender told the police they had come in before. If the owner reads this, send me a message, because I have some very distinct features now from that night, and I have told the story all over town. I will be doing my best at all times to put this place out of business. read more

My favorite dive bar! Place is awesome, music is bumpin, who doesn't love a chance to win 50 grand on a scratcher while you're drinking? The owners a real nice dude! Highly recommended stopping by. read more

Best dive bar ever! Cheap stiff drinks, smells good, clean and clean restrooms, super friendly and entertaining bartender Connor (he has literally won bartender awards). Love this place read more

I went here once when I was 21 with my parents. Let's just say, it was the most awkward experience ever! It's literally an old people bar. Everybody who goes here are 50+ it's a small bar that only has beer. I don't think they have a pool table or really anything to do besides listen to old classic music and drink beer. Not my type! read more

Most amazing little dive bar there is! Great atmosphere, great people, strong drinks, feels safe and clean! Owners and staff are friendly and accommodating and the raddest people I know. Always the best time and memories made here and you never know who you might meet! read more

Poor Richard's Cocktails - Best Tony Stark look alike - Dive Bars Near Me - Long Beach, California

Thanks to my good friends Melissa and Matt I've been welcomed into the secret society known as POOR RICHARD'S. And since I'm usually "poor" $3.00 drinks make it possible for me to have a social life. The decor is classic dive bar style. Semi-dark lighting, darts, and a digital juke box that usually plays Air Supply when our friend Vegas is there. Geneva or bartender is a woman to be respected and appreciated. If your not a drunk asshole she'll serve them strong and she'll keep them coming. The crowd is chill regulars and it's in walking distance which is great! A wise man once said... "It's better to be functionally drunk than dysfunction-ally sober." -Hunter S. Thompson read more

I mean what do you want from a small hole in the wall!? Great Staff. Amazing prices and all around good vibe. Date night with the wifey turned out perfectly. Thank you to the owner George for the hospitality! :) thanks read more

Great bartender's awesome prices. Probably the best dive bar in LB. The awesome bartenders put them over the top. It's actually really easy to please me just be nice. The staff here is beyond nice and they get it. read more

Lush Bar, Dive, Bukowski....all apt descriptions. However the most startling characteristic would be the drink prices for cocktails (three bones). Proceed with caution, the drinks are not only cheap but made with copious amounts of alcohol. Sure beats any AA meeting. Oh, and there is a donut shop next door if you ever get hungry from the liquor, which is a likely event. Next review: donut shop next door. read more

Good prices but bartender skips all your songs on the jukebox that he doesn't like. I'll stick to the Regal Inn in Lakewood where they respect your local drunks. read more

The five things I love most about Poor Richard's: 1. It is literally a ten to twenty minute walk away from my house, depending on the amount of pre-drinking that was done beforehand. 2. $3 wells that are poured hot and stiff by super welcoming bartenders. 3. It's the kind of place where you can be drunk off your ass, spill your drink all over the bar, be really loud, and no one will judge wou, like no one. 4. Opens at 6 a.m. 5. Simone's donuts is right next door and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week....and SImone's donuts are unquestionably the best drunk donuts in Long Beach if that category were to exist. This is a true dive bar, like a dive bar's dive bar. The clientele ranges from drunk ass college students, to your neighbors that are normally pulling their gaggle of kids around in a wagon on your sidewalk, to the handful of regulars who seem to have not left their bar stool for the last ten years or since the bar was open, whichever came first. They have everything it takes to make a great dive bar: bar games, jukebox, loud music, small bathrooms, and stiff cheap drinks. I love it here! I usually have to be pushed outta here....literally. read more

A lot of people I know hate this place, as if they expect some amazing Vegas-looking bar.. but for me, when money is tight (or even when its not) and i'm looking for a low-key place to drink, Poor Richards never fails to satisfy! My friends live right across the street, so we go when we have nothing to do. The place is usually full of neighborhood regulars, and college kids (cuz it's right down the street from CSULB). The bartenders are super nice, and the drinks are STIFF and CHEAP. Where else can you get a Grey Goose sour for $4 (besides the Interlude on Clark)? read more

My friends in the South Bay introduced me to this small, off-the-radar watering hole about 3 years ago. Although trendy is the last thing I would say about this neighborhood bar, it does it's job nicely. The mostly female bartenders are unpretentious and at your service, pouring drinks only those with tremendous constitutions can imbibe. Most of the customers are local, and have some connections with the aerospace industry (next time you fly, contemplate this). In particular, a certain regular "Jim" (quite a raconteur) will greet you and encourage your alcohol intake. If this bar was in Hollywood it would be filled with low brow celebrities, you would never be able to get in. I come here to escape that snide scene. read more

WHERE DO I START??? I love dive bars so when I drove by this place I had to stop and check it out. When I started to ask the bartender for a beer she interrupted me and asked for my I.D. When I handed it to her it fell behind the bar and she glared at me. After about a minute of her staring at me as though she expected me to jump behind the bar and pick up my I.D for her, she finally picked it up. She then asked what I wanted to drink but all they had was domestic and to top it off, the beer was warm. I left my beer there, did not tip her and decided I'd never go back. Don't bother folks, this place isn't worth it! read more

Poor Richard's... pretty much your local dive bar and I do mean local and I do mean dive. Admittedly, I have been going there for a number of years and I suppose that would make me a local. Please don't misunderstand me when I say local. I don't mean local in the sense that everyone is eyeballing you because it's your first time in there. The patrons are friendly enough and the bartenders are friendly, but you have to get past the, "I just walked past a green door and stepped into the dark ages" feeling that you get. My opinion is, any bar that opens at 6AM and doesn't serve food, is probably always going to be considered a dive bar. Drinks are reasonably priced, the bartenders know how to make a pretty good drink and can do up shots if you're in the mood. Beers are cold and did I mention it opens at 6AM? As Craig K. added in his review there's a couple of local places you can get food and eat on your barstool if you like. Jukebox seems to be pretty standard download stuff that you see in most pubs/taverns. Basically, this is an okay place to grab a drink or two before you head out to your next venue, however nothing is holding you back from drinking three or four and there are times when the three or four turns into three or four hours. The place can get busier on Friday and Saturday nights, however overall there is nothing extraordinary about this bar. read more
