This bar is the 2nd oldest bar in LBC a great OG spot and what a vibe ! They have parking in the back They have the jukebox a pool table basketball arcade and other games in the back but we came here for the food and was told to try their burgers so i did i just ordered their cheeseburger and fries (fries are separate) and this was flavor! Great ingredients and simple Their fries were great too nice portion and well seasoned, i learned that their food has been consistent since day one has never changed which is an excellent factor to keeping it OG They also have taco thursdays $1.75 ea I HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

I know this place a local spot that me and my friends frequent for beers and pool but it needs a well deserved shout out for the food! Got the wings before but ordered the carne asada quesadilla this time around. Wow it was so good. Something unique about how this gentleman made it but it was amazing. The salsa that came with it was perfect too. Mind you.. the man working was the runner, cook and cashier. Deserves all the credit! read more

Poor service, all the democrats here and left wings didn't open arms to everyone who's just here for a beer. Bartenders were very rude and didn't play Turning Point USA halftime show for Super Bowl. Ended up taking my business to another bar. Ended up dropping a band over at Coopers off paramount del Amo with my group. This place ain't it..... ain't it at all. Food is mediocre also. read more

This place really sucks, poor service, dirty glasses, dirty bathrooms, and good chance that your car will get broken into while there.

What a cool spot! Literally the coldest beers in town on tap, hands down the coldest! The bench set up to watch the games are super dope. TV's all around. Good fan energy. Good service. Pool tables galore and the food is dope. The burgers are phenomenal! You'll thank me later read more

My husband and brother in law love this place! Good food and the beers are great! Lots of locals hang out here so you often get to chat with neighbors and people you grew up with even without planning to meet up, which is the case with the hubby. Lol! If you come here to hang out with your husband for an hour, then head to LBX, to go shopping, you're good! read more

Normally don't leave reviews but I have to share my experience here over the weekend. I love the multiple pool tables available with other fun bar games. Drinks are your usual dive bar options, I do wish they had more non alcoholic beverages. The reason I'm leaving a five star review was because during their slow nights me and a girlfriend were approached by a man at the tables and wouldn't leave us alone after I said please go. In that moment the tiny cute bartender calls over her security guard to get him to leave us alone. That is QUALITY service and perfect example what more bars should be providing a safe environment for the girls, gays, trans, and poc. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Go only if you want giant cheap beers. I Hadn't been since my review 12 years ago and decided to revisit with a friend who lived nearby. While the curtain at the entrance seemed to be newer than the one I remembered, as in untattered, it certainly had accumulated its own collection of stains. The interior looked as pretty much as I remembered, but the food window had a digital menu instead of a handwritten one. My friend was already at the bar with a schooner of Coors Banquet--enormous as ever. I opted for a pint of 805 instead, and was rather shocked to learn that it was 9.25. Even the bartender seemed surprised at the price when it came up on the system. Well, she'd already poured it so I kept it. And she's not the one setting the prices, so. At least she was friendly and the place was clean (except for that curtain). It was still very early in the evening so the bar was pretty empty, which was fine with us. We had a nice time catching up, despite the heavy rotation of Limp Bizkit on the jukebox, ugh. We opted to continue the evening somewhere else; I doubt I'll be back, even after another 12 years. read more

Excellent food. Cold beers. Good spot. Great place to watch a game or play pool. Get the nachos

Our friends invited us out a couple nights ago so we met up with them. I've only ever been here once or twice before and it's been quite some... I don't remember eating any of the food before. One of the guys ordered SO much food for us to try. It was nothing fancy (or healthy haha) but it sure was tasty! read more

Want to see the ultimate dive bar? Thirsty Isle represents days gone by, and now is dark, dim, and the perfect, inconspicuous place to grab a no-fuss pint. The best thing about it is the price - on a recent quiet night, 3 pints and an order of (very good) chips and salsa? Under twenty dollars. In this day and age, is that even possible? At Thirsty Isle it is. Pool tables and music player also available. Parking on side streets or on Norse Way. Enjoy! And support your local dive bars! read more

Cool Latin bar and Latin music. Five schooners, buffalo wings and fries is 100 bucks. My daughter and I were the only Cucasions in the bar, no problems, we did not feel threatened. It was fun. :) read more

Times have certainly changed. This bar used to be pretty bomb. We used to go here weekly to enjoy a large cold beer and a burger. Went back to visit yesterday and the only thing the same is the beer is still cold. Actually, the bartender lady was the next coldest thing. When asked if she could change golf to hockey she said no. Then she decided she would try but wouldn't since we didn't know what channel it was on even though the game was already on a tv behind us. She couldn't be bothered, gave us a sigh and a look and turned her back on us. The large IPA drafts are now $16 and the burgers are $13. Thanks for the memories. We won't be back. read more

Thirsty Isle - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Thirsty Isle has been a Long Beach landmark for the longest! The second oldest in the Long Beach/Lakewood area! The crowd here tends to be a little younger than most. A dive bar at its core but still has all the OLD SCHOOL Style you might expect. This dive bar does have something that others don't....A kitchen! Ok so it may not be gourmet but you can still order up wings, burgers, onion rings and other basic bar bites! With four pool tables, foosball, and picnic tables, you have all the elements for a good time. It can get a bit cold in the winter cause they really don't close the doors so dress accordingly. Thirsty Isle is also famous for serving up cold beer in a giant 32 oz. Schooner if you want. Cheers! read more

Been here a number of times, not fancy at all (remember that), a few people looked like this was the first time out now that the kids are asleep and were able to sneak out since their birth...no big deal, just thought I would point it out (dress how you want). Drinks are cheap (beer and wine), food is good and greasy (realitively cheap/ inexpensive)... plenty of entertainment TVs, pool, music, shuffleboard...it is a little dark in here though. Seating is park benches and crappy wood seats, invisible the ambiance though and it works. Come in, have fun, AND BRING CASH...they only take cash, but do have an ATM inside to take more of your money. Definitely will be back read more

Had a really bad experience with the bartending staff. First the bartender would not accept my little sisters VALID ID because it was vertical. She's never had an issue before but we understood and didn't have an issue with that. Second my sister goes up to buy a soda and goes outside to hit her vape and come back in and sets her soda on the table to go the restroom. While she's in the restroom the bartender comes over and said "you cant take your drink outside and come back in" when there were other people doing the same thing and her drink was not alcoholic. My sister then asked the bartender for a new soda since she felt the need to throw her brand new soda away and she replied " I don't know if this is your first time at a bar, but that's not how it works." Incredibly rude and unprofessional. We asked for a manager and she gave us the name of Trisha who was not on the premises which was really helpful. She felt the need to target our group that decided to celebrate our family members birthday. They lost all 10 of us due to the poor service. Our families been coming here for years and we most definitely will not be back. These photos are of what the bartender was wearing tonight. Don't know if she was having a rough day but she definitely needs an attitude adjustment or she'll cost this place more business. Hate leaving bad reviews but the vibes here were not it tonight. read more

First I will say this place was the very first time my family and I stepped into this bar , The service SUCKED. The bartender was declining a real ID (over the age of 21). It is a CASH ONLY bar with ONLY TAP. Was not satisfied with that. Giving my family and I drink hard liquor and some beer which was fine. The bartender left her station and came over to our table and grabbed my sisters Sprite off the table (that she had just bought from the bartender.) And states ( "you cannot bring your sprite in and out , Not sure if this is your first time at a bad") VERY DISRESPECTFUL bartender , because who says that to PAYING CUSTOMERS ???? Oh , and not to mention you are only allowed to purchase ONE drink at a time. Her service was disappointing and nonprofessional. If you're looking for a good time THIS WILL NOT BE THE PLACE FOR IT. read more

Beer is perfectly chilled! Avocado bacon burger is the BEST. Ana Lee (bartender) is very personable and helpful! Not just to me, but she was making great recommendations to everyone. My new favorite bar!!! read more

Came in for the food and drinks. I got there, hot wings, and baby. Let me tell you they were cooked to perfection! I thought they would've had hard drinks like tequila but unfortunately they didn't. The service was good and the music was pretty chill. read more

Great spot for a cold beer and a nice meal. Their burgers are awesome. Strongly recommend it

Went for the first time cuz I have heard it's a good burger place. The bartender had all the doors open it was cold as heck in there. Ceiling leaking in to buckets. Best thing was the French fries. read more

The second oldest bar in Long Beach, serving up the coldest beer in town, and surprisingly great food. Thirsty Isle has been around since the 1920's, and remains a friendly neighborhood dive. They have billiards, shuffleboard, and a digital jukebox. You can order pub grub at the window in the back. They have a large selection of beers (and Twisted Tea lol) on tap, available in frosty 32 oz schooners. I came here with my husband and friend, after attending the nearby Antique Swap Meet. After a morning of walking around in the hot sun, ice cold beers in the extremely dark and dusty Thirsty Isle was just what we needed. They got burgers, which are apparently awesome here, and I had fries, which are fresh cut and tasty. Cash only. read more
