    Shines

    Shines by far was the best bar on the West End. Every night we ended our night at Shines until closing time. Great vibe, great people, fun & low key atmosphere while the drinks flowed. It's easy to make new friends there, especially with their friendly staff. Kevin was the best! Cheers

    Not much to say that has not already been said about this Long Beach icon: great little place to pull up a stool and enjoy a pint. Atmosphere is cozy -- to be expected from any Irish pub worth its salt -- and the barkeeps provide a steady flow of drinks. Place is cash only. They have an ATM on the wall if a). you do not carry cash (me, always) or b). you did not bring a good friend who always carries cash. Prices are super fair at $6/pint or $8 for a liberally-poured mixed drink (also served in a pint glass). Was a welcome (and obligatory) site to see Guinness poured correctly (i.e., pouring it in stages and letting it settle). They have a paid jukebox (always a crowd pleaser), pool and darts. Darts are free but pool is $2/game (fair). One area for improvement: there was an awkward silence when everyone stopped paying for songs in the jukebox. A default playlist should probably be configured to kick in if no one is ponying up the cash for more songs. General words of wisdom: this place is an absolute zoo on Irish Day. If that is your thing, you are in luck! If not, stop by any other time -- I think you will have a far more enjoyable experience (and one with far less Guinness spilled on you).

    Shines? Well........ It's sort of an enigma, it really has no signs of its hours of operation, there's always people there, it's on a residential block but yet no complaints and hardly any music, a total dive, walk by it at 9am and there's someone having a beer with friends.... They do a NY to California bike tour which is 2 blocks btw. A classic LB dive. If I were a drinker this would be my bar of choice. The end.

    Local casual bar where the locals hang. Never had a bad time there but if your looking for some place clean and shinny move on!
