Mai Thai!
Ernesto M.

Visited the Bamboo club for the first time last night. It's decked out for halloween right now which was super cool and fun. There is a seasonal menu which we had to try. I got the One Wish Willow- wow if you could compress Fall into a cocktail this would be it! This was such an amazing drink I had to savor every sip. A perfect blend of flavors to create a dazzling, smooth and delicious cocktail. My wife got The Thing- she loved it! I was impressed with the presentation, not only were the drinks great, they were beautiful and festive. To finish off the night we split a Mai Thai, another slamdunk. You have to get one when you visit the bamboo club. Our bartender Lindsay was friendly, quick on the drinks and easygoing- you can tell she knew what she was doing and gave me the "I can be your best friend or worst nightmare" vibe that is oddly comforting in a bartender. Treat your servers well and they'll treat you in-kind! All in all this was a great experience, I highly recommend it for meeting up with an old friend, a date night, a friend group or just a nice drink alone.

Yummy drinks monkey pod drink special on Thursdays are $10. Can't beat that. Service was fast and quality of drinks exceptional. Ambiance is loud inside but out back is better you can actually hear the person whom you're talking to.

Came here for a date, movie night (50 first dates)- it was a very cute atmosphere! Some people with dates and some people with friends. Very nice. The service was quick and easy- i appreciated that a lot. The food was very tasty. We ordered egg rolls, thai crunch salad, and moco loco. All very thought and fulfilling dishes :) side note: most things can be made vegetarian/vegan!

Tiki bar are always a fun place to hang out! How can you go wrong with quirky drinks with flowers, umbrellas and more. The bamboo club offers many of the standard tiki drinks and some specials unique ones for this establishments. Plus the menu offers some tiki like food items. As for seating: the bar offers booths that can be reserved for four to six people. In the bar area there are seats at the bar and high tables. Plus there is a covered area. During peak times best to make a reservation online. The bar does offer a small parking lot along the side of the bar. There is also plenty of street parking. We look forward to our next visit.

Super fun and super cool! Food and drinks are amazing. Lots to choose from, and lots to try. The service is great. Everyone is so friendly and enjoys working there. Everyone always has a smile on their face and the vibe is fun! They always have events and live music going on. I love to check their website before going to see what they have going on. Nice dance floor too! Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a fun tiki escape, this place is a must-visit! The atmosphere is incredible--every detail of the décor transports you to a tropical paradise, and the whole place has an amazing island vibe. I tried the Zombie and the Mai Tai, and both were absolutely delicious. They were expertly made, packed with flavor, and definitely potent, so they deliver exactly what you'd expect from classic tiki cocktails! The service was outstanding from start to finish. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with their great recommendations and attention to detail. Between the amazing drinks, exceptional service, fun energy, and immersive décor, this tiki bar is the complete package. Whether you're out with friends or just looking for a unique night out, this spot is a total vibe. I'll definitely be back!

Such a vibe! You walk into a tiki wonderland. My staples are the Mai Tai's and Mochiko Chicken Bowl, and the Mac. The chicken is perfectly crispy and the sauce compliments it so well. Service is efficient and they deliver tasty meals. Mai Tai Mondays and Lunch specials Fridays are such a steal!

pina colada

Came here on a Tuesday night for the Love Island watch party which, side note, is such a fun and cute event! I loved being able to watch the show with other people who are just invested as me. The watch party ticket included a Rum the Jewels drink which I personally wasn't a fan of, but then we got a Pina Colada which was more my type of drink. I ordered the loco moco which was pretty good, nothing crazy. The service was what really stood out to me. The hostess Sunny let us choose between stools under the TV vs. a table with an obstructed view for the watch party and our server came around multiple times to make sure we were doing okay. After the watch party we went inside to the bar which was where we got the pina colada, and our bartender Devin was super cool and told us about his favorite tiki bars. We loved talking to him and would definitely come back again!

I came here on a busy Saturday night and regret not making reservations ahead of time! Thankfully there were two spots left at the end of the bar. I was greeted by the friendly hosts when I arrived who were super accommodating. I really loved the vibe and ambiance of the place and immediately felt transported to Polynesia. There was a live performance just ending and while it was a bit noisy, it still felt lively and intimate. I had the bartender start me off with a daiquiri and then I shared the Chief Lapu Lapu Bowl. This was such an experience of watching it being touched and then an explosion of cinnamon occurring! It was very delicious and refreshing with unique and fruity flavors. Apparently the bowl is worth a lot because they take your ID and give it back once you return the bowl in one piece! I would definitely return here especially since there were some enticing food items I would love to have tried! Parking was also super easy in the neighborhood area or their free lot, if it's not full!

Round 1. I forgot the names of the drinks I had that evening but they were pretty good.

After dinner, my bestie and I decided to grab some drinks at the infamous Bamboo Club, located near Anaheim St. & Redondo Ave. I've passed this place a million times and never thought to give it a shot until our recent visit. The vibe is nice, and the atmosphere is very cute, although I found it to be a little too dim inside. The service was great; however, I wish it had been a little speedier. I didn't know they offered food here until the server mentioned getting us started with appetizers. Maybe next time, I'll order a small bite alongside my drink. The drinks were aesthetically pleasing and equally good! I had never been to a tiki-themed bar prior to this, so I really enjoyed my visit, especially since I love tiki drinks. Overall, I'd definitely return for a fun night out!

Mai Tais
Raquel M.

I went to Bamboo Club on a Friday night around 10. The plan was to eat and have a cocktail, and hopefully enjoy some music. Walked in and the place was lit - lively, people dancing, drinking, just enjoying themselves. Vibes were 10/10. We found a table in the back past the patio and realized no one was coming to serve us so husband went and ordered Mai Tai's at the bar, and found out the kitchen was closed. We were disappointed because we were starving, but just decided to stay a while and enjoy the MaiTai's. I will say these were thee best MaiTai's. This review could literally be titled Go For The MaiTai's. We enjoyed the DJ, watched people dance and just sipped away at our MaiTai lol. Nice evening, definitely going back to try the food.

Lunch special. Burger with fries and Thai tea chicken sandwich with Mac salad and 2 virgin painkillers.
Josie Z.

Came here for lunch with my boo. The place has cool painted art murals on the interior of the first room as soon as you walk in that let you know this spot is unique and cares about individuality. We were seated at a booth by the hostess which was nice! Made it feel a little more elevated than a typical bar. Especially because another couple tried to snag the table for themselves and she let them know it was reserved for us. The entire place felt clean and not divey. I just kind of wished there was more tiki art in the main room where the bar is. But that's just me being a maximalist! I love tiki goth haha. There was an awesome playlist going and the service was great and attentive. We got the burger and Thai tea chicken salad sando. It was an amazing deal for all the food we got! It came with fries or mac salad. I ended up eating half of my husbands fries because unfortunately the mac salad was very underwhelming. It was very bland. We also ordered to virgin painkillers and they hit the spot! So good! All in all, this place was a cool vibe and we definitely recommend visiting. If not for the amazing lunch special, come for the live music to get a full on alt tiki vibe going on for a good time.

Chicken Bowl

Lots of food and drink options, so you're sure to find something you will want to try! They have wonderful live music, seemingly very often! Service seemed to try to rush customers I believe due to reservations? I have to mention that the Zombie drink is strong. Our lovely waitress compared it to a long island!

My friend's lychee negroni was very interesting, had a sweet start with a crazy punch of an aftertaste. All the appys were tasty! My friends' favorite is the 5 sauce fries. My personal faves were the shu mai and popcorn chicken. We also got har gao and both pan-fried and steamed pork dumplings. It's a super small space (very intimate and cozy) so definitely make reservations ahead of time. We showed up very late our resy but thankfully our table was still available when we got there! I tried reaching them over the phone multiple times to let them know we would be late but it's impossible to reach them, so that's the only thing I would suggest for improvement. There's also a tiki bar (called Lagoon) within Midnight Oil that I want to check out next time.

Your hao peng you (good friend) on Yelp is sending you a sign to check this hidden gem out! ;)…read more As someone of Taiwanese descent, I always get SO excited discovering Taiwanese restaurants and bars, which are admittedly a bit hard to find if you're not in East LA. We stopped by late Saturday night and were able to snag an immediate walk-in at the bar at Hao Peng You, which is the intimate speakeasy portion of Midnight Oil. The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

It is really rather silly that I've been here a... whole bunch of times, going back to pretty much…read moreright when they opened, and I still haven't ever written it a review. Well, let's fix that finally. So first off, service, I'd say definitely can vary based on how busy they are. When it's slow, service is super fast. When it's packed to capacity, which it *absolutely* can be at times, it can be a lot slower, not to mention way louder. I won't fault them too much for that though, since I'd rather be there earlier in the day when it usually isn't too busy, anyway. Bar-wise, I won't mention each drink individually, since they change the drinks up periodically, and they've all been solid. I'm sad that $14-16 per cocktail is pretty much industry standard now, but that is, unfortunately, an entirely reasonable price at this point, if your cocktails are interesting and well balanced, which theirs all have been. Baby Gee still has the *most* interesting cocktails, but then, none of Baby Gee's cocktails are $14, which several of the best ones here, are. (I mention in that I think this is currently my third favorite cocktail bar in Long Beach, with Baby Gee at #1, cocktail-wise.) I will mention, specifically, that they have one great thing Baby Gee doesn't, cocktail-wise, coming in at $14, two slushy machines - for a long time, they've been a pina colada and a strawberry daiquiri, or for the same price, both mixed together (you want to do that). They also have a weekday happy until 6, in which, notably, the three core cocktails they keep on draft, are only $10. All three are quite good. (They also do $6 house old fashioneds all day Wednesday, also solid, if not as interesting.) They've also got a solid selection of interesting bottles of all sorts, many quite reasonably priced, and when they *aren't* too busy, they're always happy to experiment with me on new drinks with them. They do also always have a solid, if small, selection of craft beer. Finally, one of my favorite things here: $4 mystery shots, various constantly-rotating bottles, many presumably having been given to them by reps as sample bottles, though occasionally they've been leftover prebatch remnants from old cocktails, or other odds and ends. I don't *shoot* them, but that's a strong draw pulling me in here often - it's always been fun guessing blind what I'm sipping (you can ask them what it is, *after* you drink it.) Sometimes they only have one bottle, often they have 4+, and they can be basically *anything*. It is *also* a great way to get tipsier slightly faster for a lot less money, too, of course, if you aren't picky. Food menu wise, they definitely beat the pants off Baby Gee, though. I've tried most of the food menu at this point (I miss working for a boss who liked to invite the team here for team building and then order us like half the menu at a time...) The main draw for me personally is their shumai, though enough one of handful of things they don't make in-house (they buy them frozen from some place in LA, I think), but they're *really* good shumai. (I'm picky - shumai meat is often kinda gristly, which theirs never are, and with the perfect dumpling noodle.) The har gow from the same source is also great (though the shumai is my favorite), and both are also a dollar off during the weekday happy hour. Not on happy hour, but still very reasonably priced for dim sum (from the same source), I can also strongly recommend the soup dumplings, both the pork and vegetarian bao, the sesame balls, and the radish cake. And make sure to get their chili oil if you like spicy (they're supposed to charge 50 cents per container, though they often don't. But it's totally worth 50 cents a container.) They also have great skewers - I've tried the mushroom (wonderful), and the chicken thigh skewers (Homareya's are the best, but these are also great.) Their mushroom salad is excellent (it's just a mix of a bunch of Asian mushrooms, perfectly spiced, so I would get that and an order or two of shumai to go with it), the egg rolls are great, and while the bowl of noodle soup is technically definitely worth being $16, it's also $10 on Wednesday, so I'd recommend going there on Wednesday if you want to try the noodle soup (it is very good. $10 is a steal.) The fries, onion rings, popcorn chicken and fried rice are also... exactly what you'd expect from those things (I never order them because there's nothing exciting about any of them other than getting to dunk them in great chili oil, they were always ordered by my ex-boss for the table, but I figured I should mention them in the interest of completeness.) The only food item I've ever *not* been impressed by was their spring rolls, which the most recent time I ordered them, contained a "pickle" that appeared to be entirely un-pickled, and was way overstuffed with grocery store quality lettuce. (Though ymmv; a few months earlier I had their spring rolls and said they were great.) Anyway: highly recommended.

Visit date: October 23, approximately 10 PM…read more I had a horrible experience at Black Lagoon (speakeasy inside Midnight oil) and, honestly, wasn't initially planning on writing a review. However, after a friend mentioned they were planning to visit, I felt it was important to share my experience and warn others about the service we received. Throughout our visit, we felt disregarded, ignored, and genuinely uncomfortable. The bartender's attitude toward us made the entire experience unpleasant. When it came time to pay, the bartender literally threw the white payment device down on the table and walked away. On top of that, when we finally looked at our drinks, they were mostly filled with ice. I don't like to assume that someone's treatment of me is rooted in prejudice, but I genuinely left questioning why we were treated the way we were. Rather than confront the situation, we finished our drinks and left. We actually ended up going to another bar immediately afterward because the experience had left such a bad impression. It's unfortunate because the space itself is beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere has so much potential. However, beautiful decor can only do so much when the service makes customers feel unwelcome. I hope management takes this review seriously and addresses the service provided by their staff. No customer should leave an establishment feeling disregarded or uncomfortable, especially when they're simply there to enjoy a night out.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

At 6pm on a Sunday evening, we were lucky to grab a spot in front. We sat at the bar which is just inside the entrance. The main room has various tables and chairs in the center, and Victorian style chairs and couches along the front and side walls. There's a small stage area in the back where they host a lot of events. There's also some outdoor patio seating and an event room upstairs. There were good mellow vibes on a non-event night, and there was good music playing. They also have some Halloween décor up. I started out with the Ooogie Boogie (Proper Twelve Apple Irish Whiskey, Manzanilla sherry, Mela apple liqueur, Luxardo del Santo, green apple juice, simple syrup, $15). This was absolutely delicious and not sweet at all. It has a few layers of crisp, slightly tart, apple flavor. You would never guess this is an Irish whiskey cocktail. She started out with the Deadly Nightshade (butterfly peaflower-infused Centanario Plata tequila, Tott's Champaigne, Crème de Violette, Van Gough Blueberry & Acai vodka, Salers gentian amaro, butterfly peaflower syrup, lime super-juice, $15). This drink is pretty large, is well balanced, and has some complexity. She loved it. We shared Jack, The Pumpkin King (400 Conejos mezcal, triplum, chipotle-pumpkin syrup, lime super-juice, $15). This was a solid mezcal margarita with a light pumpkin flavor and a hint of heat. The rim is a mix of cinnamon, turbinado sugar, and salt which was tasty. Bartender Zoe was awesome! She was so friendly, and we enjoyed discussing cocktails and various other topics with her. All three drinks were great, and a bargain at only $15. We will definitely return soon to try out some of their regular menu cocktails.

I am only now coming to share an official review on Yelp due to how this establishment treated me…read moreon TikTok. Folks should be aware this place is capable of treating you with disrespect in person, then when you mention the poor treatment in a TikTok comment, they'll respond without taking accountability and dismissing your experience. They will then ultimately block you - presumably because too many people liked your comment. You guys, that's embarrassing. You need to do better. My comment was completely respectful and an honest concern for how I was treated the one time I ventured in with a friend. Deleting feedback you don't like, customer concerns, and then further blocking those people (I hadn't written anything else. I only noticed because I clicked on the notification that someone liked my comment and saw I was now blocked) makes you look shady and guilty. I'm not a bot, and I explained a very real, possibly discriminatory experience at your bar. If anyone reading would like to know the experience: It was October 21, 2024. A Monday. I should've written this review then but I didn't have anything nice to say, and didn't want to trash this place when it seemed they were struggling due to what the bartender said. I was going through a really tough time, having just canceled my wedding about a month earlier. It was my first outing after a month+ of deep depression. My friend came to rescue me and take me out. I had been meaning to try this place since moving to Long Beach. It was fairly early in the evening, probably around 8pm or so and it was pretty slow. There was music and two couples dancing. We grabbed a table and I went to the bar to get us drinks. As I stood at the bar, some guys had come up alongside me to wait as well. The bartender looked over me and promptly took their orders. I barely had any emotion left in me at the time so I didn't care, and just waited to be next. However, I waited. And waited. And waited. The bartender seemed to be intentionally ignoring me (now the only person standing at the bar). I watched him busy himself with other drinks for the tables, for the guys, and continue to ignore me. Time ticked by and I started to wonder if I was doing something wrong. My friend kept looking over at me from the table like what is taking so long? Minutes and minutes passed as I stood there awkwardly, being blatantly ignored. After a long stretch of time, the bartender quickly said something in my direction like, "If you want to order you're going to have to go to the other end of the bar." I said, "Oh ok thank you." And walked to the other end of the bar. From this point, I was ignored and talked about (full male bar staff) without being looked at. They rudely discussed in front of me how I was standing there, and how each one of them wasn't going to take my order. It had been over a half hour at this point, and I was the only one who had been standing at the bar. It was a slow Monday night. Because I was a broken hearted loser at the time, I started to tear up. Why was I being treated like this? Am I not someone they want in their bar? Is this place not queer or woman friendly?? Why is every other person getting served, while I am blatantly dismissed? After almost 40 minutes, the bartender on that end told me he wasn't going to take my order, and I'd have to go back to the other side again. I quietly walked back over to the other side, feeling so embarrassed and just wanting to leave. It was ridiculously clear I wasn't welcome here, though I had no idea why. I remained standing there for maybe another 10 minutes. The original guy finally relented and begrudgingly took my drink order. He was standoffish at first, until he realized I wasn't upset about any of it. He started to apologize, saying he was brand new, and told me some of the staffing issues they had had that night. He seemed stressed. He recognized he had served the guys before me, and I had been ignored for way too long. He apologized again, and poured us an extra shot in our drinks to make up for the poor treatment. The drinks honestly were terrible lol, but I can only complain about so much. Plus he gave us double the alcohol, so I guess I was grateful. We left immediately after and went somewhere else. I haven't been back since. I wish I could share screenshots of my TikTok comment with the owner's dismissive reply, so you could see for yourselves whether you think that deserved being blocked. She even liked one of my reels from my page? Very odd. People are going to share the truth about their experiences at your establishment, and for you to deny that and block them is wild. You could've responded in a very different way, but you chose to be defensive and shady. That's on you.

Went yesterday at 430pm to experience the Halloween pop up and beat the Saturday night busy crowd…read morethey were not open at 430pm as advertised and was told to come back at 6pm?? Came back at 6pm to a half full small room with one bartender making drinks he didn't know from a list. The hot room quickly filled up and the overwhelmed bartender went and asked for help. The second person was only taking orders, then closing out your tab and adding your ticket to the long line of tickets in front of the only bartender It took 25 minutes to finally get our drinks and mine was half full and didn't taste good the girl next to me had the same drink hers was full and looked different in color. It took 10 minutes to get the bartender's attention and when I told him about my drink he was highly irritated and told me he would make me another one 10 minutes later he asked me how my drink was I said I'm still waiting for you to make me another drink his response was it's still going to be the same drink I made you WTH?? Then way did you offer to remake? it at this point we were over it and I asked for my money back which took another 10 minutes. Don't have a Halloween pop up with one bartender who doesn't know the drinks VERY disappointing will not return.

The Lagoon is one of three "experiences" located at Midnight Oil in Long Beach. It is described a…read moreCreature from the Black Lagoon inspired room, but it also has some tiki décor so we stopped by to check it out after visiting another nearby tiki bar. The Lagoon has a speakeasy style entrance. Once you enter Midnight Oil, walk towards the end of the bar and look for a wooden mask on the door. Push on the left side of the door, and you will enter The Lagoon. This is definitely a small room with eight seats at the bar, three seats against each wall, and a long narrow table in the middle. Creature from the Black Lagoon décor includes some artwork and figures, and lots of greenery on the walls. Tiki décor includes various lamps, puffer fish, ropes, netting, and coconuts. There is also some leftover décor from the "Roadkill" pop-up they had in the room last year. We stopped by at 8pm on a Wednesday night, and we were the only ones in the room for our 30 minute visit which is always a little strange. We sat at the bar and scanned the QR code to look at the menu. The cocktail menu is very small with only seven cocktails, three frozen cocktails, and one mocktail. There are also around a dozen food items and a dim sum menu. I had the Monkey Delight cocktail (Hamilton 86 rum, Amontillado Sherry, Kin-a-Peel banana, lemon, $14). It was very boozy with a very light banana flavor. She had the Mexican Pharmacy cocktail (Tequila 1800 Coconut, Tequila 1800 Blanco, Pineapple, Coconut, Orange, $14). This was really good with a nice mix of coconut and pineapple flavor. I wouldn't have guessed it was a tequila cocktail. The drinks are reasonably priced at $13 to $15 with only the Old Fashioned costing $17. The food items are also reasonably priced, but we ate earlier in the evening. I didn't catch her name, but our bartender who was going back and forth between The Lagoon and The Apothecary was friendly and checked on us often. It was cool to stop by and check it out, but the room and drink menu are very small, so I don't see us coming back.

It has a view of the streets of Downtown Long Beach going east and west and north and south. It's cool for people watching and just seeing the Hustle and bustle of the Downtown area. The food, I had the ribs that came with Mac and cheese , mash potatoes, and corn. The ribs were very tender a little fatty but not bad. The Mac and cheese was the star of the show very cheesy and the noodles were tender, it had a good flavor to it also. My wife had the steak salad. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The salad wasn't up to par so we had to ask for some mixed greens to and sliced carrots to add to it . It was pretty much just iceberg, lettuce, sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado. I originally ordered the side salad that came with mixed greens, sliced red onions, and sliced carrots. My Wife thought her salad would look like that one since it didn't so we made it look like that by adding an additional size salad mixing it with her steak salad so it worked out overall it's worth a try when I go out of my way to come back maybe not but would I come back if I'm in the neighborhood probably so. The service is good. The service were very attentive and the food came out pretty fast as well.
