(4/5) R Bar is one of my favorite local spots when I want a laid-back night out. It has a fun hole-in-the-wall vibe and feels much more relaxed than some of the packed, influencer-heavy bars nearby. The atmosphere is welcoming, the drinks are reasonably priced, and it's an easy place to hang out with friends without dealing with huge crowds. If you're a local looking for a casual neighborhood bar with good vibes, R Bar is definitely worth checking out. read more

Food: B+ my fiancé thinks the ahi nachos got heated up a bit sitting under the hot lights waiting to be brought to us because it took about twenty minutes to receive. The concept of the dish is delicious though. Like that they offer this healthier take on nachos dish for some fish variety. Service: B the bartender today seems overwhelmed however it is Pride weekend. We have had exceptional service here before even doing Scooby snacks as a smart suggestion from the worker. Bartenders practice clean habits with neat fingernails and secured hair. Ambiance: A. Lively crew frequents here and people into sports so it's one of the better venues in town. It is one of our go-to's. It's clean inside. read more

Staff is always friendly. Courtney is usually the one that's there when I go and she is always so sweet. The food is great. Not your typical bar food. read more

R Bar - Lettuce wrapped burger. It is soooo delicious. The patty is so tasty and juicy. It's one of my fav low carb items from here. - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

Arturo is an amazing smart a$$ of a bartender. After a hard day of work he makes me feel right at home. I need a fun place to come and get a drink, this is where I choose. It may not be for everyone, but it's for us, 'R' bar the community bar where you should feel right at home where most have lost that identity. Great music to follow. Highly recommend read more

I went in the catch a eurocup match. I sat at the bar and ordered food. I got the wings with lemon pepper dry rub. They were decent. I was not expecting to see birria tacos on the menu. I ordered one and was actually impressed, it comes on corn tortilla and meat was so good. This was a pleasant surprise. I just wish they had consume with it. read more

Great affordable prices. Great atmosphere and in a convenient spot. The service was fast and nice. Wasn't able to order food they spot doing food after 10pm but still nice time read more

Great place to watch football, especially if the sound is on for your game. The food is surprisingly good. If I'm being honest, I had pretty low expectations going in, but after eating here a few times the food is delicious. The chicken wings aren't my style (too big) but I can tell most people would like them! read more

Kayla was so rude!! Me and my boyfriend went to this bar a couple days ago (1/22/ 2026) and got there at 10:50 pm and we ordered a pitcher and Kayla replied "you are going to drink a pitcher before 12:15?" So we ordered a pint instead and she LITERALLY rolled her eyes and sighed "ugh" IVE NEVER had such an uncomfortable experience with a bartender! Let alone ONE HOUR BEFOFE CLOSING TIME!!! She also made the worst old fashion drink in a small PLASTIC cup! DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME! read more

My coworkers and I come here frequently during lunch, and the food is absolutely delicious--not your typical "bar food." This week, we enjoyed their All-American Burger. I love how soft the brioche bun is! The patty was well-seasoned, and I loved their in-house-made pickles. We also had their Miso Salmon special today, and it was fantastic! The flavors of the mushrooms and soy glaze on the salmon were perfect. The rice and the salmon were both cooked to perfection. We also tried their Crispy Rice Ahi Tuna roll--SO GOOD! And the Caesar Salad was very tasty and fresh. I'd also like to thank Courtney, Chanel, and Achilles, who work there and are absolutely amazing people. read more

Had a total blast here. Food was good and the vibe was just right. Not too crowded and service was great.

Awful experience. The staff act like this is their kingdom and you are lucky to be let inside. I have never been treated so rudely in my life. I was hospitalized for 7 months and didn't fight so hard to get back to myself to tolerate this kind of abuse from a stranger. read more

I came to the R Bar this past friday night to meet a friend thinking it was gonna be a nice mellow night but unfortunately their off duty bartender Arturo Mendoza had other plans. As a fellow manager of a restaurant near the r bar I find his actions completely unacceptable coming towards me and my friend interrupting our conversation asking "yall good? He good?" Clearly trying to incite a reaction out of me. Not once but multiple times throughout the night. The staff behind the bar that night were awesome but the individual off the clock getting drunk and harassing a paying customer isn't. I've been to this bar many times before and this experience alone is enough for me to not go back and not recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

Great staff. Decent dive bar. But for the love of god, FIX YOUR FRONT DOOR! The freaking thing stays open, so if it is cold outside it's cold in your bar. The amount of women who left cause it's cold is ridiculous. Have a charity drive and people will donate lol. Good bar, but bring a jacket if it's cold. read more

Staff literally standing around asking everyone else if they needed anything while constantly ignoring me. Really bad service especially from the lady in the hat . The wings were good but I'm not sure if I'd go back due to the awful disrespectful service. There were to many staff members to be ignored to this degree and there are many other spots in the area. I don't recommend going here if you're a person of color! read more

Bartenders Tanya and Gabby were soo nice! First time here and had a great time!! Will be back again!

So I moved to Long Beach about a year ago and was recommended to the R bar. I went in, sat at the bar and was just minding my own business people watching and having a beer. There was an individual a few seats down from me who was extremely drunk, aggressive, and looked like he just crawled out of a dumpster. he kept approaching me to tell me that the seat I was in was his, but yet when I came in, he was sitting further down the bar and this seat was empty. He was obviously looking for trouble, but the problem I have is no one that worked at the bar said or did anything about it .I don't go out to have confrontations with people. He was obviously that type of person so I finished my beer and just left. It was probably the most uncomfortable I've ever been in any bar in my life. I travel a lot and have a lot of positive,good experiences everywhere.This bar left a bad taste in my mouth as it would have a lot of other people ,had this happened to them. I will probably give it another chance in the near future and upgrade my one star experience if that a**hole isn't there the next time I go, but it seemed like he was a regular because everyone seemed to know him. read more

I would say that this bar is the place to go on a Tuesday. They have a great deal for their Taco Tuesday. $2-$2.50 tacos, $5 margaritas and $5 selected tequilas! I had their beef, chicken, fish and al pastor tacos and they were worth it! Their taco sizes were the size of a street taco and comes with one green and red sauce. I also had a shot of their tequila and their margarita, which went great with the tacos. The service was fast, and the drinks and foods came out quickly. I was there around 5:00pm so there was not a lot of people there. In the inside there is a large U-shaped bar and some booth tables, but there is also a patio seating available. There is also a lot of TVs surrounding the bar, which could be a good place to watch a game. I also recall seeing a shuffleboard table next to the bar. read more

Good place to hang out with friends. Band was nice and I liked the songs, but a bit too loud for my taste. I had difficulty hearing the person next to me. My ear hurt and my throat was sore from having to yell. That's the reason for the 3 stars. Menu cocktails seemed to lack the alcohol but when I ordered a traditional drink (i.e. old fashion), the alcohol was obvious. Overall, service was nice and good place to catch a game because of all the TVs. read more

Good food while watching a game! Small but cozy not quite as busy as it use to be but still my go to for catching a game. Drinks are good I usually do a bottle of champagne w/ orange juice but the price has increased a bit. Breakfast burritos or nachos usually my fav here! Service is solid all around cool vibes read more

Used to love this spot until all the recent drama surrounding it. Even put up with the owner constantly hitting on me in front of my man. Drinks are STRONG which is a plus! This place used to be crazy fun but has since gone downhill fast .. sad to see it. read more

This place used to be an Indian restaurant and although it was sad to see it go...the R Bar has been a very happenin' spot! They serve yummy food & good drinks but mostly...the vibes, the music, the servers and the bar tenders are so nice and even remember your faces when you become a regular! Covid has nothing on this place! Great spot for get-togethers with friends, clients and meeting your 1st dates! Yup! I suggest going to the beach to workout or walk your dog and come by! The owner is super nice and caring and even hangs out with folks outside. Can I tell you about the oatmeal cookie shot, though??? Mmmmm!!! One of my fav shots! Follow me for more food and drink advice! Or even comment and suggest YOUR favorite foods and drinks at the spots I visit! I love supporting local restaurants, so stay tuned for more! :) Oh! And the chicken empanada! Mmmm! Always a fav here! I heard the salmon plate was yummy too! I gotta try those and the tacos soon! read more

R Bar - My client is so happy I got him more money on his property for sale than he expected! :) - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

Beautiful bar in a beautiful area however it's hit or miss if you get a polite bar tender. I never been ignored by a bar tender when trying to purchase a drink this one was a first. Hopefully those two bad experiences will be the only 2 because there isn't much in the area and I would hate fire such a beautiful bar to invest the time and money into hit or miss service read more

Wow so many things to say about the Racist Bar, sheesh I wanted to give them a chance & not judge til experienced the BS first hand , they got this new queen working there & he is rather rude I believe he has a thing for his bar back rather then his customers , idk if you have to be a regular or a certain race but he had no time for me & my kind lol . Like I told her , don't change for me cause I don't like your service but let it be known I see you & I don't have to spend my money here , he tried to patronize me by paying for my drinks but yet kicked me & my party out by giving us Togo cups for our drinks lol no problem we was leaving anyway . The bar could be a decent cool spot I'm just unsure on the type of crowd they looking for , idk if it's a newbie spot or a place for regulars, it's really a hit & miss when going there read more

This is a good place to meet up with friends for a drink. It's a dim lit bar The bartenders were nice and the pours were great!

It's been awhile since I visited RBar and I must say the good times and food are still awesome! The Breakfast Burrito and salsa was the best I've had in Downtown Long Beach. Also, Ronnie the bartender has awesome energy and defines customer service. You want Good-times, Good Food, Great value and Great drinks... Look no further RBar in Downtown Long Beach is the place to visit! read more

Great place! Love the atmosphere and it feels like friends and family. The owner and GM are cool and the food is good bar food.

In town for a conference and I was walking past the R Bar and saw the sign for Spaghetti Wednesday and thought ...when in Rome (or in this case, Long Beach) why not? A neighborly pub atmosphere will greet you in the smallish room. the bar is surrounded by tables and a shuffle board table sits on one side. if I were with a group I'd be playing! Since their sign out front drew me in, naturally I had to try the Spaghetti. While the special was solo spaghetti (and all you can eat for $5) you can upgrade with meatballs ( all beef) and garlic toast for a few bucks more. Not only a great price, it was really tasty. The tomato sauce was a hearty and zesty flavor and the pasta cooked perfectly. Sadly, I've had spaghetti specials where the noodles are slimy and the sauce, uninspired. That was definitely not the case here. The dish was topped off with a nice parmesan light coat. A wide beer on- tap selection beckoned, but since I was 3 hours behind, my East Coast clock said to pass. And full disclosure, although the special was for unlimited helpings, I only got through one. It was satisfyingly filling and I had a pleasant taste to take back to my hotel. read more

The bartenders here are so fun and down to earth! That's what brought me back at first. Stephanie made the best Bloody Mary I've had in years (and her personal concoction, Mexican lollipop., pictured here!) Hooollly shit!! Her and Charlene are the absolute best. Their covid precautions are safe and accommodating which is also very appreciated. Taco Tuesday is an insanely good deal as well read more

Sunday morning football with AJ. She's awesome. The bar is awesome. The end. go Bears!

This is by far the most unprofessional restaurant I've ever ate at. The service was extremely horrible from the time we walk in. The waiters gave us attitude and made us feel unwanted. Most of all we were charged for all of our items before we were even handed the bill. We had a open tab and they charged everything to the card and handed us the receipt. Then proceeded with a attitudes after being corrected. read more
