My wife and I had an excellent Sunday brunch experience here. We sat in their shaded patio and listened to the duet jazz band sipping cocktails and eating delicious food. I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk. The closer garage on Broadway is not free. You can make restaurant reservations on their website but it wasn't needed when we went. read more

I am here to review The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie, that's how late my Yelp reviews are coming in. Sorry!! TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger. read more

Been a while since my last visit, but they were busy so I thought I'd check it out. Isabela greeted me with her sweet smile and fun demeanor so I settled in. 2 Tangerine beers, one chicken pot pie bites and the Mac and Cheese did the job.

Another great night at the ordinarie!! We went here for a whiskey tasting (check out women who whiskey Long Beach- there's also a club in LA!). The restaurant provided some great snacks including a really delicious popovers, which are warm and savory cheese puff pastries. I had the beet salad which had a nice assortment of mesclun greens with the beets and some crunch added by smoked almonds. And- one of the best old fashioneds I've ever sipped. They had a really creative spin on this classic cocktail by adding vermouth, banana liqueur and cocoa bitters!! Service at the bar was superb. read more

Glad i got to try the ordinarie during the holidays! They had the miracle christmas menu drinks. My friends and I really enjoyed the food that was served here! We shared the mac and cheese topped with short rib, buffalo wings, fried cauliflower, and sweet potato fries. The mac and cheese with short rib was so delicious, one of the best mac and cheeses I have tried. We went on a Monday night after Christmas so there was no wait. read more

We visited The Ordinarie the day after Christmas to check out The Miracle Christmas themed pop-up. There is a $10 per person fee to make reservations online for times before 4pm. That $10 per person is credited to your bill. After 4pm, they only accept walk-ins. I parked in a lot right around the corner on Broadway, and it was only $8 for two and a half hours. They double park and want you to leave your keys, so I would park somewhere else next time. It was cold, rainy, and windy so I parked as close as possible. Our reservation was at 3:45pm, and even though we arrived 15 minutes early, we were seated immediately. I asked for a booth so we could sit next to each other and they accommodated my request even with only two people. It started to get very busy after 4pm. It is very festive inside with wall to wall and floor to ceiling Christmas decorations, with Christmas music playing in the background. There are many Christmas trees, stockings, santas, lights, snowflakes, movie characters, and the TVs have Christmasy content on them. We ordered the Chicken Pot Pie Bites ($18) to start. I wasn't expecting anything special, but they were surprisingly very good. The dough on the outside was soft and pillowy. The filling was tasty, and they are served in a bowl of gravy with a spoon. Pouring a little gravy over each bite made them even better. I started out with the Candy Cane Lane (Whtie Rum, Vanilla Liqueur, Dark Crème de Cacao, Minty Amaro, Candy Cane, Soy Milk, $18.95). It is served in a Christmas unicorn mug and tastes very much like a grasshopper cocktail. It is mint forward with chocolate and vanilla in the background, and is a good Christmas themed starter drink. She started out with the Christmapolitan (Vodka, Elderflower, Dry Vermouth, Spiced Cranberry Sauce, Lime, Rosemary, Absinthe Mist, $18). It was a good light drink with light sweetness. I could definitely smell the absinthe mist. For my main entrée, I had the Ordinarie Burger with fries ($20.00). This was a very good and very filling burger. The bun was super soft and it comes with caramelized onions and jalapenos in addition to tomato, lettuce, pickles, and cheese. The fries were fresh and the portion was ok. She had the Vegan Patty Melt with a salad ($22.00). This was also a very good sized patty melt with the sourdough bread toasted just right. The salad had good ingredients, including watermelon radish, but it was a little light on the dressing. Next, I had the Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus (Brandy, Italian Sweet Vermouth, Dark Crème de Cacao, Blackberry Liqueur, Tart Cherry & Chocolate, Lemon, Chocolate Bitters, Brandied Cherries, $18.95). It is served in a dinosaur mug. It is definitely on the sweeter side which masks the spirits. Having said that, it was actually pretty good, with a chocolaty berry flavor. Next, she had Rudolph's Replacement (Vodka, Coffee Liqueur, White Crème de Cocao, Orange Curacao, Chai, Almond Milk, Aromatic Bitters, $18.95). It is served in a Christmas dinosaur mug. It had a light sweetness and I got a little bitterness, perhaps from the coffee liquor. We tried out both shots, and you get to take the vintage looking santa shot glasses home. They were out of the black naughty glasses, so we got two red nice glasses. Nice Shot (Brandy, Strawberry, Grapefruit, $15.95). This has a light sweetness, and I also got a little bitterness, perhaps from the grapefruit. Naughty shot (Tequila, Habanero, Ginger, Hibiscus, $15.95). This is definitely pretty naughty and may make you grimace a bit. All flavors are boldly present and it may make your nose hairs curl a bit. We finished off with the Coconut Hot Chocolate (Aged Jamaican Rum, Amaretto, Chocolate Hazelnut & Coconut, Coconut Whipped Cream, Cacao Dust, $15.95). It is served in a larger version of the vintage looking Santa glass. It was hot and definitely a little boozy with rum and amaretto. A good coconut flavor was also present. I saw several reviews about poor service, but service was great for us. Taty started us out, and when her shift ended, Kaya took over. They were both so friendly, and our food and drinks were paced perfectly. Kaya went the extra mile and did a special favor for us at the end of the night which we really appreciated. There is a two hour time limit. However, we were there for almost two hours and twenty minutes, and were never asked to finish up. There is an automatic 20% tip included on the bill, and we left a little extra. The food was great and was a decent value. The drinks were not craft cocktails and were a little on the smaller side, but were festively themed and enjoyed which is what we came for. The ambiance and was décor was great, and it seemed like everybody we observed was having a good time. Rating: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars. There are a few more days left for the Christmas pop-up, so hurry in if you want to check it out. read more

I gave The Ordinarie five stars purely for their Christmas pop-up because it's truly top tier and hands down my favorite holiday bar. The space is decorated to perfection. I loved the over-the-top, gaudy holiday décor, and the cheeky Santa was my favorite touch. The vibes alone are immaculate and worth recommending for that reason. The food, however, was just okay. My boyfriend and I ordered the deviled eggs, mac and cheese, wings, and cauliflower, and we both agreed it was mid and a bit overpriced for what it was. The drinks were a different story...we loved them! I got the alcohol-free hot chocolate, which was incredibly rich and flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the eggnog cocktail and later the alcoholic hot chocolate, and he really enjoyed both. Despite how busy it was, our waitress was attentive and lovely, which we really appreciated. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was a huge plus given the long line and how packed the place was. When you arrive, they give you a card letting you know you have the table for 90 minutes, and they kindly wrapped things up right on time. read more

Happen to find this location through Instagram. It portrays a Christmas experience while dining. Went here on a Thursday at 3pm with no reservations. Did a walk up through the front counter host. No problem, he sat us down for a party of 5! I read the reviews and most of the reviews stated it will be a long wait without reservations. We definitely got lucky. As we were seated, we were all in awe of all the beautiful Christmas decorations inside the restaurant. This is exactly what we wanted! "A Christmas experience!" Waited a few minutes for our waiter to take our order. Pretty much just ordered everything all at once. Devil Eggs and Christmas Drink Cheers. We received our food within 10 to 15 minutes. The drinks were fantastic and the food was delicous. Our waitress did an outstanding job. She always attended to us. Kudos to her!! If you want good food and want to get into the holiday spirit, this is the place to go to!! You only have a few days to experience it before Christmas comes! Overall, I would come back. I loved the energy and Decor. Not sure how this place is when the holidays are over. But still would like to experience this place at is normality. Great food, good service. A+ There is a dine in time of 2hrs, which is fair due to popular demand. read more

My husband and I had zero plans to visit a Christmas pop-up bar that night. We'd just come from drinks at Halo rooftop nearby and figured we'd "quickly check out" this location before heading home. Best kind of accident ever. Walking in felt like stepping inside the most over-the-top, joyful Christmas movie set. Every inch of the ceiling is dripping with lights, tinsel, stockings, ornaments, and paper lanterns, we were instantly obsessed. The vibe is pure holiday magic, never felt overwhelming. After years of saying "we should do one of those Christmas pop-up bars," we finally stumbled into the perfect one without even trying. The cocktails are delicious and lean sweet (exactly what you want this time of year), but they're perfectly balanced, not cloying. Every drink is served in the cutest holiday themed mugs. If you want to feel like a kid on Christmas morning while sipping a ridiculously cute cocktail, recommend checking this place out! read more

We had about a 30-minute wait, but honestly it flew by. Shoutout to our servers, Viri and Andres, who kept the vibes great from start to finish. The menu itself is super fun, which made ordering half the experience. I went with the "Yippee Ki Yay Mother F****r!"--nutty, strong, but perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness. Also tried the Naughty Shot, which was spicy but surprisingly good, and the Snow Day Sipper, which might actually be the best hot chocolate I've ever had. And can we talk about the decor? Whoever decorated this place deserves a raise. I clocked a few Dollar Tree finds, so I know they did this on a budget--and absolutely made it WORK. Cozy, creative, and full of personality. Definitely worth the wait. That said, I'm giving 3 stars because the drinks felt a bit pricey for the amount we got. My friend and I ordered the same drink, and hers looked like it had way more ice than actual drink. We pointed it out, and they were nice enough to take both drinks back to remake them, but when they came back, they were still heavily iced. Overall, great vibes and flavors, but the portion-to-price ratio could definitely be better. The cups they came in were super cute tho. And we got to keep the naughty and nice shots so that was a plus as well. read more

Visited the day after Christmas for the Miracle Christmas pop up cocktail bar. We did the walk in option as there are no reservations after 4pm. We waited about twenty minutes for a party of 4. Upon being seated, they handed us a card that provided us a time frame for our table. I wish we had known this ahead of time as two of the four of us were seated while the rest of the party was parking. I would have liked the few extra minutes. The experience felt a bit rushed because of that. As for the food and drinks, I was so impressed. I ordered the beet salad and I absolutely loved it! I also tried the hatch Mac and cheese- that was delicious. The ambience was calm and merry. The playlist consisted mostly of Christmas music- so that's nice if you're into that. I will definitely be back next year. read more

Came for their Christmas pop-up and to celebrate my birthday. This was my first time at The Ordinarie, so I wasn't sure what the space looked like without the holiday setup--but it definitely felt like Christmas inside. The décor was cute, festive, and a bit overstimulating, but still fun for the season. My husband and I were there just for drinks. I ordered the Rudolph's Replacement (vodka, coffee liqueur, white crème de cacao, orange curaçao, chai, almond milk, aromatic bitters), and it was so good! We came on a Monday around 6pm, so there was no wait and it wasn't packed. Just a heads-up: there's a 2-hour time limit, and they stick to it. They even place a card on your table with your start and end time. Also worth noting--they don't allow walk-up orders at the bar. You must be seated at a table or at the bar itself to order. read more

The Ordinarie, on the Promenade in Downtown Long Beach, does an over-the-top Holiday Pop Up every December. The entire restaurant, walls, ceilings, every possible surface, is decorated to the max!! A reservation is a must, and can be difficult to obtain, with a strict 2 hr time limit, for this holiday extravaganza. The menu is full of speciality cocktails, even served (for an additional cost) in kitschy holiday themed glassware, that you can take home. The menu is somewhat "Pub Fare". I ordered their Burger, which was delicious! (I have eaten here before and remember that meal to be excellent, as well.) The service was very good. The holiday theme is a bit overwhelming and it's noisy (a bit hard for a group to converse), but it's something to experience. I would recommend The Ordinarie any time of year. read more

The Ordinarie, well known for their christmas decorations and overload of holiday themed drinks has been a gathering spot during the December time frame. So does it stack to the expectations or does it sink? The fact is the food is priced around $20-30 and the drinks are around $15-25 which can be considered somewhat pricey for some. The food is well cooked and typical americana style. You'll get some fries and typical salads. Nothing is surprising. The cocktails are good but wont blow your santa themed socks off. The service could make it stand out but its also bland. They have it tough as there are so many tables and people to serve. So be kind! Expect to pay around $100 for a group of two with two entrees, two main cocktails, two shots, and no dessert. read more

In the Xmas season this place is decked out to put you in the mood. Themed food, drinks, and merch will help set the spirit of the winter season. The food was good and my partner liked a cocktail. The service was polite, but some other complaints about timing might have merit as things were a bit slow to get started. If your group is small - say 2 - I'd try to sit to the right of the entrance and take advantage of the Yule log video on the screen near bar. Otherwise you might get put in one section that started feel crowded over time. Also, all that holiday decor may be paid for by food prices being a bit on the high side given you're looking at sandwiches, fries and a soda + 1 cocktail. read more

If you are a fan of Miracle Christmas mad pop-ups, you'll love this one in downtown Long Beach. We had a reserve vacation got 1:00, but discovered an earlier time would work better. I called and they were happy to move our reservation time. The Christmas decor is over the top here! Every surface of the dining room and bar are sparkling with decorations. We say in the Grinch section. The holiday cocktails are creative and served in cute themed glasses, and the ones we had were delicious. We ordered the Cheery Cherry Chicosaurus (served in a dinosaur mug) and a Candy Cane Lane (served in a Christmas unicorn mug). Both were yummy! For lunch we ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Ordinarie Burger, each served with fries. Both were really good. The burger patty s huge!!!! We had a great time in one of the most festive settings ever! A couple of things to note: 1. this place is on the Long Beach Promenade, and there are several City of Long Beach parking garages nearby with the first 2 hours free--makes it easier since street parking can be iffy. 2. They only take reservations for daytime seating until 4:00 p.m. ($10 per person which is added as a credit on your bill). It's first come first served in the evenings. read more

Met up with a group of girls to experience the holiday pop-up. After 3pm a line starts to get in and they don't take reservations so be prepared for a wait. Once seated you're only allowed to be there for 2 hours. The drinks were nothing spectacular. I've had better tasting craft cocktails. The mugs are available for purchase. when it came time to settle the bill, each person was given their own separate checks. However, when it came to my turn to pay the server didn't note that gratuity had already been included so not knowing I added an extra %. Yet it was mentioned to the other girls. It's a one and done experience for me read more

While visiting friends in Long Beach, we were told we had to check out The Ordinarie for cocktails. Calling it a 'great bar' doesn't even do it justice! We spent the evening at the bar with Chris, who provided next-level service. He was so attentive, taking the time to tailor every drink to our group's unique tastes, and ensuring our glasses were never empty. It is rare to find such an outstanding bar experience these days, and it is a true testament to Chris's craft and expertise. We will definitely be back! The bar was clean and had a great vibe. They had had music but you were able to talk over it. read more

Late review but this place was decorated so well!!!! I came for the decor and definitely stayed for the food! I was not expecting for the food to be this good but the burger was super filling and delicious. The mac and cheese was also delightful! The staff was super friendly and I just loved the overall vibe of the restaurant! I would definitely recommend coming during the daytime if you can when it's not too busy because the street parking does get pretty full. I wasn't able to try the drinks because I came during the daytime which is what i had seen all over my social media, but i'm sure they would have been a 10/10! I hope they do this every year for the holiday season and for more holidays! I would love to see more decorations for other special occasions! read more

Every time I visit The Ordinarie Restaurant, it's a consistently great experience--good food, great drinks, and even better service. But this visit was extra special. It's October, and I learned this was their first time decorating for Halloween--and let me tell you, they went all out! The space was transformed with festive details that struck the perfect balance between spooky and fun. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive without hovering, and clearly enjoying the lively atmosphere. The food was delicious, as always, and the drinks were Halloween-themed, adding a creative (and tasty) twist to the evening. What a perfect way to kick off the October festivities--a little eerie, a little elegant, and a whole lot of fun. read more

I've seen this restaurant/bar on every social media platform and wanted to go for a while. During Christmas time it is decorated to the MAX. The decorations are so beautiful and they have holiday drinks. Some friends and I walked up without a reservations and waiting in line for about 35-40 minutes. When we got seated a time card was put on our table you have about 90 minutes. The experience is nice but it's definitely a rushed experience they try to get your food appetizers and main entree all at the same time. Probably on seen our server the whole night twice. But in the moment so focused on the Christmas energy you don't realize until you need something. So for an appetizer I got the chicken pot pie bites . Ridiculously good and they were served with a gravy sauce . My entree I got chicken wings. They were okay could've been cooked longer. My chicken had that thick chewy fat like when wings are really cooked enough. The drink I ordered was a yippie ki ya ; which I believe had rum and ube , coconut flavor . read more

We stopped for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon, perhaps it was almost dinner time for some but not yet happy hour. Husband had an Ellie's brown ale and an Ordinairie Brat. I ordered the salmon dinner. I asked a lot of questions, because the menu said dirty rice accompanied the salmon. Here, dirty just meant cooked with chicken broth not bacon or ground meat like in NOLA. So good, no pork and I can eat their dirty rice. Veggies were not included with this entree, just a big hunk of blackened salmon with a tasty Cajun cream sauce. I ate the whole thing, not going to lie.. I could have drank a cup of the sauce. Yum! Husbands bratwurst came with brilliant purple cabbage slaw and pickled chilis, with cheese under it all. He devoured this but not the mustard fried onions which he had requested on the side. Hardly touched those. So I tasted them myself and found them pretty unappealing too. Sweet caramelized onions ruined with mustard. Maybe good for some but not us! I failed to take a picture but I believe he had the side salad option with the brat. No feedback on that missing photo or the side. Our server was unobtrusive and came back just enough times to make sure we had what we needed. The patio had only one other occupied table so we took our time. Had hoped to make it here for happy hour but since we were finished eating it seemed we wouldn't try that menu on this visit. Until next time! read more

one of the few places in downtown Long Beach that is part of the Resy network (allowing me to use my $20 monthly AMEX Resy credit). I've been amiss in not using it this year. As it sometimes happens with me, this visit began because of a question: "If I make a purchase under $20, will I get a credit for the amount of purchase or will it not apply at all?". Since I had the opportunity to dine alone this day, figured I could stop in for a quick lunch while in the area for an errand and try to get an answer. It wasn't too busy, so it was 'seat yourself'. The waitress found me soon after and was very efficient throughout. When I let her know I only had 30 minutes, she told she could close out the bill as soon as the food would be delivered. Of course, this put pressure on me to choose ASAP...and I forgot about my original question: choosing a 'smalls' (appetizer) of chilaquiles ($15) and a draft beer (Tangerine Wheat from Lost Coast Brewing for $9)...putting me well over twenty. I've had the beer before, and I love it with Tex-Mex type food. As for the chilaquiles, it was well made, with each thick tortilla chip being individually soaked in the salsa verde. It had pickled onions, a sunny side up egg, and sprinkled with cotija cheese. The first couple bites were great, but the taste got old pretty fast...would be great for sharing (which is why it's in the app section). If having as an entree, adding braised beef would have helped. Since the waitress closed out my tab early, and I'm a fast eater, got done from sitting down to getting up in 25 minutes. It was a good visit. read more

Now the draaaaanks were fun. Loved them all and though they were in the pricey end I would say that they're worth it for the vibe and taste of each.

I am writing this after going to the ordinaries about 10x and I'd call it a regular spot of mine! I want to be thorough and give the good and the bad. I love this place, it is welcoming and fun and the staff is amazing. They have a great late night menu and the small bites and unique cocktails are the best. They do amazing seasonal pop ups that they really go all out for! The chicken pot pie bites, candied deviled eggs, and corn ribs all are spectacular. I haven't had a bad cocktail there either and they are so pretty! I do want to acknowledge something that could be better though; the burger/sando section. I have tried every single one of them and thought I wish the bread was less greasy and they upped their sauce game- a little dry. I think if ordinarie managed to do this, the would be unstoppable! I still love the place.. I've just given up on their sandwiches lol read more

I came to their holiday pop-up on Sunday night with a close friend for our annual gift exchange, there was no wait - already a win. Let's start with the decor because WOW. When people say it looks like Christmas threw up in there... they are 100% correct! It's loud, over-the-top, very in-your-face holiday chaos. So if you love Christmas, you're going to LOVE it. The atmosphere is absolutely what sets this place apart. Service was kind of meh, but I'm torn on that. We weren't really checked on much, but since we were deep in conversation and catching up, it didn't totally ruin the experience. Could go either way depending on what you're looking for. The drinks were cute presentation-wise, but flavor-wise they were mid. I ordered the Koala Lalala, mainly because it was the only drink with tequila. Unfortunately, they don't allow substitutions on the other drinks, so keep that in mind if you're picky about your liquor. That definitely limits options. Drinks are also on the pricier side compared to the food. Now, THE FOOD. Soooo good. We ordered the cauliflower and the chicken pot pie bites and both were hits. I love chicken pot pie, and it's not something you find everywhere. Having it in bite-sized form with that rich gravy? Absolute chef's kiss. The cauliflower had this miso glaze situation going on that was insanely good. Plus, food prices were actually very reasonable, which was refreshing. Overall, we really enjoyed it.
