Beer & Long Island
Stephani M.

Came here on a Friday night to watch RuPaul and had a great time! We sat down at the bar and were immediately asked by the bartender (who was very sweet!) if we wanted drinks. Almost everyone was watching RuPaul and the ambience felt very inviting and made watching the show even better! There weren't too many seats but people go in and out as they go bar hopping . Overall I enjoyed my time here and would definitely come again.

Fantastic atmosphere and friendly bar service. Restrooms were all gender friendly, yet still clean (sorry boys, but y'all a mess sometimes!). Fun throwback music - shoutout to Britney, bisshhh! We came here early after spending the night on The Queen Mary and sincerely enjoyed our bloody Mary's to keep the theme up to par with Halloween.

1st time at this bar, gay bar alert was friendly place ami jukebox to play your favorite songs while you have a drink. Cash only so be prepared for that .

The drinks were great. 10/10 felt like a VIP. Very attentive bartender. Kudos to Abel for making it all a good evening for me and my friends.

Nice bar I went to grab a drink with friends! The bartender was nice & friendly. It was my birthday so we went lgbtq bar hopping. The drink was really good & the music was great too!

Sunday afternoon
Gary I.

Micro minuscule bar serving standard alcoholic libations, but don't let that fool you into skipping out on this joint. Good placement & organization maximizes the efficient use of space along with mirrors that fool the eye into seeing more depth. Sunday afternoon is festive & loud since the speakers are pumping. Friendly vibe & manageable crowd. People here seem to want to hang out & be social. Only two bar-t's at the beginning, but an outgoing, vivacious Trans or Drag Queen radiating charm filled the room w/ her presence and proceeded to pour drinks while dishing Gay repartee to her patrons. (Sorry, don't want to offend in assuming perceived orientation.) She even joined us so we could do a group pic. She's cool & fun, setting the mood of the place to be playful, spontaneous, let down your hair & be yourself. I should have caught her name, but she's the one w/ the BIG Hair. Kudos to a truly colourful, kind personality. Management should give her a raise. 4 Yelp stars for being the most friendly bar on Gay Broadway in Long Beach. PS Not Falcon's fault, but street parking is scarce throughout this area. Be prepared to wander around the side streets to snag a parking space. It reminds me of trying to find parking in the Castro, SFO.

Abel! Best martinis in town!!

See all

Out of the other two bars that were visited, this place was the busiest. St Paddy's day for a drink…read morethat led to bar hopping along Broadway. Last time we stopped by it was mellow. This visit, it was a little more lively and a mixed crowd. The music sucked whoever was in charge as it kept skipping and changing constantly. Not consistent whatsoever. It could be coming from the jukebox right at the front. People were out for drinks which it was pretty lively. Of course as it's also a dive bar with a pool table, people were having fun. The place was chill as most bar in Long Beach are. Nothing stuck up here with pretentious people. Everyone is here for the same thing, a dive bar and drinks. There was actually more than one bartender this time. Normally it's one who was taking care of everyone. And a mixed crowd, people all having fun. It's bigger than the other one we just came from But did notice some other guest from the previous bar doing the same thing we were, bar hopping. There's a decent amount of seating along the bar counter. Hi top tables along the front and entrance. Some in the back area as well and the main seating area thats along the other wall with a built in seating. Great for people watching and viewing the game of pool that's right in front of you. I think there's two pool tables. It's a simple fun place where you guessed it, all the locals and regulars visit. They do have happy hour which we found out a while back. Same as all the other bars along the area, it's street parking. I don't know if it's a regular thing but out front was a taco stand getting ready for the night. Beer and tacos, match made in heaven.

My partner went to go use the restroom before we were going to leave but the only one open was the one that doesn't have a lock. It's got one toilet with no stall and some urinals in there, my partner and I are both trans so he asked me if I could just wait by the door to make sure no one walked in. One of the waiters came up so I just told him someone was in there. He literally gave me a dirty look before asking if it was a girl in there. He then shouted over the door asking if they were done. My partner said "Almost" but he reached for the handle opening the door into me to shuffle me out of the way anyways while saying "Well I work here." he barged into the bathroom while my partner was still inside but he at least wasn't indecent by this point. I was so mad, we left right after and I'm never going back. No part of that was okay he mentioned something about his shift almost being over to my partner while he was in the bathroom but that's no excuse to be so unbelievably rude in a place that's supposed to be inclusive. I will not be back and I hope no one else ever feels that disregarded by this waiter again. I don't really write negative reviews because all jobs come with their stress but this bothered me on a bare basic human decency level.

Normally on a Wednesday night or a Sunday as it was karaoke. The fun nights were had way back when. It's still the same fun old place but with a little revamp from the early 2000 when it was a frequent place with the college kids for drinks and karaoke. The crowd from the coffee shop down the street would end their nights here with cocktails and singing. A fun neighborhood dive bar. There's still security at the front checking ID's. Seems like regardless whatever your age is, they ask. Inside you have the retro fun vibe. Of course everyone is there for the same reason, a fun night. Bar is right when you walk in. Normally there's two bartenders on the busy nights but often you just see one. Inside has a good amount of seating but outside patio seating seemed to be alway lively. There's loads of seating out there. The fun twinkling lights and nice lush plants gives it a cool tropical feel hidden in Long Beach. I did notice a lot of people bringing food in especially pizza which was from across the street. Didn't know you could Uber Eats things here but clearly you can. Dinks is always good from my experience. Reasonable price which brings the crowd in. The only thing that sucks, the restroom situation. There's two on either side which does get pretty busy with a line as it's one per person and it's alway dirty. Don't know if anyone goes in there to clean during the nightly hours. Overall, the crowd is alway fun and lively. The last two times I've been I did noticed that it's still the college crew crowd as when I used to come in the early 2000. A more younger crowd, somewhat hipsters vibe. Depending on what day you visit, there's some kind of something going in. It's a fun dive bar that's alway fun for drink. Very casual.

It feels like a full blown party. Loud, chaotic, and definitely not PG rated. I was super impressed with the performers. I was immediately drawn in and cheering the whole time. The Queens are hilarious and clearly having a blast. They also do a great job of giving every table plenty of attention. I went for the show and wasn't expecting much from the food, and I was totally fine with that. But the burger and fries were actually really good. Also, get the stripper boot cup with the bottomless mimosa. Just commit to the experience. Go for a birthday, a bachelorette, a team outing, a Friday night, or just to celebrate being alive. You won't regret it. I can't wait to go back!

My friends and I visited Hamburger Mary's to celebrate our 49-year friendship, and unfortunately,…read morethe experience didn't match the occasion. For a venue that clearly draws large crowds and sells tickets in advance, we expected a more organized and professional level of service. There were only two bartenders handling a packed bar, making drinks one at a time while also trying to support wait staff. The result was long waits and visible strain on the team. It also seemed like there weren't enough servers or kitchen staff to keep up with the volume. It took quite a while just to have our order taken--and significantly longer for the food to arrive. When it finally did, two of our four meals were incorrect, and one didn't come out until the rest of us were nearly finished eating. While we understand that busy shows can be challenging, advance ticket sales should give management a clear idea of how to properly staff each show. We also felt it was inappropriate for our server to attribute order mistakes to hearing difficulties, especially when it impacted accuracy and the overall experience. We came to celebrate a meaningful milestone together, and it was disappointing that service issues overshadowed what should have been a special brunch. Its a good thing the music was great and the girls were entertaining

Upon arriving, we were greeted and asked to sit to wait for a table. It was busy but not crowded. The waitress handed us menus to look at while we waited for a table which was a nice gesture and allowed us to be ready when seated. It took less than 10 min to get seated. Once seated, they were fairly quick to come and take our order. We ordered: 1. Satay chicken 2. Yellow Curry with Chicken 3. Beef Pad See Ew and 4. Shrimp Pad Thai Everything was absolutely amazing!
