The little red head behind the bar should not be a bartender. Her attitude is the definition of an entitled little brat. Acts as if you're the issue for coming to have a drink at "A BAR" . Eye rolls whenever anything was asked for. Went to pay & when the " tip" wasn't up to her par , she made the comment under her breath " why even **** come out cheap f**k?" Why even be a bartender if you're not going to provide a service. You don't get a tip for being terrible at your job. That's not how this works. Management will probably read this & brush it off because she'll have a lame excuse like we were the problem or needy. Nope. She is the problem. Even the regulars mentioned they can't stand when she bartends because her attitude is so terrible. Fix your system please. Get better people. read more

I love this bar, it's still a diveish place not as much as when Bulowski might have roamed the streets here but still a nice dive vibe. Pool tables in the back and a jukebox cranked up front. Nice place to end the night with some pineapple infused vodka on the rocks. Refreshing and sweet but not too sweet and natural sugars. Bartenders are quick with your drink even when it's crowded. Order up a cocktail or some beer and have a good time. read more

V Room - Cool bar on 4th Street and Alamitos Ave. - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Old school dive bars are a favorite of mine. This is in my neighborhood so no need to drive. ( though it has a small parking lot. ) the vibe is dark , there is a pool table, darts and TVs. However the bar and the conversations at it are the star bar tenders mix a strong drink . They have special house infused pineapple vodka. The service is good & prices are not bad. read more

Open 7 days a week for all your drinking needs! Two pool tables, Pineapple tequila and vodka, and the bartenders are all so amazing!!! This is a locals bar but there's a reason for that, it's the best in LB! It's a welcoming space for all! Seriously one of the most inviting places I've visited in LB. They always have any and all the games on, usually with some type of drink special. Right now they are decorated for Halloween, go check it out! Super cute. read more

Andrew was fucked up. He tried bartender, yet he couldn't get 2 beers and 2 shots right... Then he got upset because I ordered 2 beers and 2 shots... Wow... He messed up my order 2 times and proceeded to kick me out l. WTF... avoid a bad experience, don't cone here. read more

Came for Halloween , and we had a blast! Everyone there is so cool, so welcoming good music live band And love when they have a pop up food vendor. Definitely going again for Halloween, highly recommend, and don't forget to wear your costume. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled after my visit to the V Room. This place has heart--and that comes straight from the top. The owner clearly makes values-driven choices, and that's evident in the team they've built. One of the bartenders is someone you won't forget. Her story is nothing short of heartbreaking--unimaginable loss back in her hometown of Cincinnati losing her entire family in a tragic Birkenstocks factory fire. Yet she shows up with warmth, resilience, and a genuine smile that could light up the darkest room. Sure she's on a spectrum, but there's a quiet strength to her that's incredibly moving. Yes, service can be a little slow at times, and you might want to double-check your change--but honestly, who cares? You're not just getting a drink here; you're witnessing someone's strength and humanity in action. Her presence brings something beautiful and real to the bar that you just don't find everywhere. Major respect to the owner for giving good people a place to shine. read more

Great dive bar vibe with a cd jukebox. Super friendly service with JoJo the bartender. She also suggested Sideburns across the street for great burgers and appetizers. We had a group of 6 doing some day drinking. A perfect choice. read more

V Room - Long Beach Classic Scooter Club. - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

We were looking for a local dive bar after our lunch around the corner. Came across the V room. Bartender was very sweet and attentive. Fast service is always a plus. However, $17 for a Washington apple shot is a little ridiculous for a dive bar. Crown royal is the standard whiskey for a Washington and although she was generous with the pour as a bartender I think the prices on basic shooters can be a little cheaper. We sell these in Huntington Beach for $9 by the way. Anyways just an honest review everything else seemed chill but we left after our drinks. read more

Decent dive spot on 4th, used to be cooler when they had the outdoor patio and we would grab a G&T while walking the pup. Long Beach businesses really seem to be giving up in the struggle against the city to make outdoor spaces more sociable and enjoyable. Service is what you'd expect. Haven't eaten there but they used to have a little outdoor patio cookout that we wanted to try. That too seems to have faded away. Is it strange that the world in some ways seems less cool since COVID? Like in Europe, outdoor alcohol consumption and having places where dogs are allowed is openly welcomed and it works. The US and Ca in particular really seems to struggle with this one. Brighten our worlds with lots of dog friendly outdoor seating! Trust me, you'll get more business. read more

the red bartender always ignores me when i come here yet she talks to the whole bar....

They don't care about there customers anymore. Service went down years ago. I have not been back in 3 years. Had to update my good review they used to deserve read more

We went on a Wednesday evening. There is free limited parking ie. @ 10 spaces and 1 handicap. Please aak for the menu so you can see the different drinks they offer. Inside the place is pretty dark. They have 4/5 booths, bar area seating, outdoor seating and two pool tables. Each pool table game cost $0.50 cents. Great bargain. They have separate bathrooms. I ordered the jalapeño margarita $9. It was pretty strong and spicy. They don't have a blender so it's on the rocks. read more

drinks barely have any alcohol, and they're super expensive.. 46$ for two mixed drinks. "krazy"!!!! the do last call at 1:30am. ok. normal, but than seriously kick everyone out at 1:44am. not letting people finish theyre over paid drinks, bartender literally snatched an grabbed my home girls drink right out of her hand like we were breaking some kind of rule, super weird. bartenders are just rude as hell. they suck!!! read more

Just found this place on a Sunday afternoon and still exploring Long Beach,thought I'll stop in for a drink.i took the only available stool at the bar and a person 10 minutes later came up to me to let me know it was his stool.He was obviously fckd up ,as well as loud and obnoxious.He said I could take his seat,but every 5 minutes would come back to remind me it was his seat.I was getting irritated by now and just wanted to leave.There was another bar around the corner,I'd already been to,that was way more relaxed.The V Room seems like it has a lot of drama with overly drunk old regulars that seem grumpy as fck. lol.Just wasn't my vibe.I had 1 margaritas that I was charged $20 for.Seemed expensive for a dive bar.So I left and went to my other bar.I asked my bartender there how much they charge for margaritas and She said $13.Needless to say,I won't be back at The VRoom.That is a Hollywood bar price in a nice establishment without drunks harassing you every 5 minutes. read more

Very cool and Melo place. Good vibe, good people If you are a Vegetarian then try the smash burger one of the best I have ever tasted. They're cocktails tales are original the Lindsay Lohan shot is one of my favorite. I will come back for sure. read more

V Room - They have cool tables to sit at and eat your food. - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Disgusting place. Screaming and yelling constantly outside. The parking lot is an extension of their "bar." Yep, know there is going to be noise living next to a bar, but this is a residential area and respect is a lost issue for them. Fighting, music so loud it rattles windows, drugs etc. Another bar right across the street. Never any issues. Same people EVERY day at this bar. I suppose as long as these people are paying to get drunk, everything else can be overlooked. read more

The bar is great, drinks food and service great. I'm here to just tell you they are a little bit too relaxed with their customers. They are nice but maybe need to be a little bit not so everyone can feel comfortable at the restaurant. They really let anyone do whatever they want, and some people don't know how to act. So as much as this is random peoples faults, it falls on the VRoom because they did nothing multiple times to fix it and makes them look bad. One customer brought there own stereo and was playing there own music right next to other tables, not in a private area for there event. Another customer was having sex on the table outside next to other people for hours. We asked multiple times to have them thrown out or asked to stop as they were making us uncomfortable but the staff did nothing. read more

I've been coming to the V room for years! Bartender Drew has amazing service, presence, and a unique vibe that enhances the atmosphere. He is your go to bartender that provides a fresh and confident presence that sets him a level beyond other bartenders. He knows how to interact with customers and is an asset to this establishment. Drew is the bomb! Ask for him when you come here! read more

V Room - Drew Coghlan- Best V Room bartender! Give him a raise! - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been to the V Room a few times to shoot pool and have never had any issues...until last night. There was a female bartender that I had never seen before so not sure if she's new but she was completely rude. She was on her phone more than she was paying attention to actually doing her job and serving people. We were waiting to order a drink for a while, and some guy that I guess knew her, got her attention for us because he even observed how long we were waiting to order. The first thing she tells my friend is "I eventually would've got to you guys." What kind of greeting is that? She seems miserable and definitely shouldn't be working as a bartender. Waited almost 10 min for 2 cans of beer. I would be more understanding if it was extremely crowded and she was busy but this wasn't the case, she's just a shitty bartender. read more

Love coming to the V Room to play pool. Small spot, some patio space for smoking. Only downside is that there's only one bathroom for the ladies and minimal parking. Paula was the best bartender and recommended the Rum Punch and it was so good! Thanks for the great times! read more

V Room - Rum Punch - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

This night 11/01 I went to the bar, one of your bartender is very rude and ill-mannered. He looks like fair with clean shaved.(his rumored name is Kendice). I tried to ask his name but he did not tell me. I was having a beer at the bar area and he literally took the beer mug away from me and ask me to leave in front of all the crowd which is really really insulting. (If you have any doubts please check the cameras ) Who's that person to do that. I wanna know from the owner.. is this kind of rudely behavior illiterate bartenders you hire? Who doesn't even know how to treat the customer.The reason for that the past couple months ago I had argument with one of the guy. And I have seen that guy is constantly coming to the bar.And they are welcoming him And when I go there, the same guy at the bar section sees me,insults me and doesn't serve me at all. ZERO SERVICE! Not Recommended! It's better to go to other bar. read more

Now this is the spot. Strong drinks at ridiculously low prices. My Absolute and 7 was $4...... amazing and GOOD. Cute patrons, plenty of seating, pool tables and a hopping Jukebox. There is a small parking lot to the right and the bar is CASH only. Check for their drink specials as well. Definitely a bar that should be on any pub crawl. Just another night in my love affair with Long Beach. Oh and I heart the octopus with his lil' cap on. read more

V Room - I heart him! - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

The V Room is a fun, divey spot for affordable drinks! I love the aesthetics and the overall aura of it. The drinks were yummy and the food looked/smelt good. The only reason I am giving 4-stars is because not only did it take a long time to get what we ordered. The waitress mentioned she was overwhelmed, which I felt empathetic about, but as far as I could see it wasn't even all that busy, so that was a bit confusing. Overall, such a fun, unique spot, we will definitely be going back! Enjoy :) read more

Really charming local dive bar with pool and tacos and 7 tvs. When i was there the 700 club was on, and the waterboy and fresh prince. Modelo was cold and cheap. Whole spot was a vibe, will return. read more

This is a chill spot in Long Beach. It's open from 6am - 2am everyday of the week, so it certainly qualifies as a dive bar. But I imagine at night it's more of a lounge. Not sure, tho. I was there early in the morning on a Wednesday. I had fun. Cool and friendly barkeep. There were a few locals boozing it up, and everyone was relaxing and shooting the shit. I'll be back next time I'm needing an early LBC bar. read more

V Room - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

When my life is in shambles, I love coming to V Room. It's a small, dark place with a jukebox to match. During one drinking session, I think I heard Sonic Reducer three times; that adds an extra star. Before we get off track, let's get back to my opening line; when my life is in shambles, I come to V Room. It's fun, it has great music and things just don't feel as bad here. My last venture to ye olde V, my roommate broke up a fight in the girls room, my friends and I drunkenly sang along to Iggy Pop, and a hipster girl was hoisted out by the straps of her 90s era child's backpack. So, all things considered, my life may be in shambles, but at least I'm not brawling in the girls room. The drinks rule and the bartenders are the BEST. read more

I went there a few days ago, sat for two mins and the girl bartender who's kinda tall with thick wavy hair didn't even notice me. A guy walked in and she immediately tends to him. Like ok do you not see me ? Ok bitch. But then a guy bartender sees me and ask the girl if she helped me, I saw her just look the other way and kept taking to all the other guys at the bar. So shoutout to the guy bartender for actually helping me. The girl on the other hand needs to stop being a hater and work on her customer service skills read more

Low key night out in Long Beach. THE AMBIANCE: V Room is a very small pub/dive bar located in East Village outside of central downtown Long Beach. It was dark and one long bar ran down the main room. There is a second room by the bathrooms with two (2) pool tables. The decorations are interesting and creative. The bathroom is really small - one stall. THE DRINK: It was a quick stop before the next bar and I decided to order the Templeton Rye Mule (Templeton Rye Whiskey, Gosling's Ginger Beer, Fresh Lime, Mint, $9). It was a good drink. It was a good drink. If you like mules they also have a Hawaiian Mule (House Infused Pineapple Vodka, Goslings Ginger Beer, Fresh Lime, $8) and a Tito's American Mule (Tito's Vodka, Goslings Ginger Beer, Fresh Lime, $8.00). THE TIPS: Dress casual. Parking is a nightmare - use a ridesharing service. read more
