50 Best Bars near La Palma

“Went here for the first time Friday night. I like small and cozy places. So this fit very nicely. Shiela the bar tender is a sweetie. The cozy small part atmosphere was just right!! Everyone was so fun and nice. Thanks to my friend Ro for inviting me here! Really had a great time!!“

“There's definitely a reason this place keeps coming up everywhere as number ones bartenders are nice with a touch of sass like you'd like at a dive bar, but it's elevated. The prices are pretty pricey, but for the love ingredients and originality of the cocktails I guess it's alright, but I'm not staying for more than two lol. We ordered 4 cocktails and two mocktails and it was about $100 so time to go home lol. They have yummy little snacks and overall we were happy with this new Long Beach spot.“

“I've passed by this place for two years and never wanted to go in , because it look like a dive bar with a bunch of old guys in it ! But WOW WAS I WRONG what a great place and the staff took me back to when customer was king era !!!! The service and food was AWESOME, get the egg salad sandwich WOW what a treat!!! I can't say enough great things about this place , and u know me I can never say enough bad things if you're business sucks !!!! HERE IS A DIAMOND IN THE RUFF DON'T WALK FN RUN TO JOES!!!!!!! Badass“

“We happened to find this restaurant today. Looked bright and welcoming. Lovely patio, you could sit in sun or shade….we chose shade. Friendly staff, excellent food. The lobster burger was divine and huge! Seriously, we could have shared one and still be stuffed. Definitely have to come back and try other delicious sounding items…like the lobster rolls!“

“AMAZING FOOD! Love that it is non alcoholic as it definitely invites a positive crowd. Very lowkey neighborhood as well. Service was quick and snappy. My friend did not like her original order but they exchanged it for something else on the menu with no issues. Will be returning often as a resident of signal hill“

“Excellent Colombian brunch. The pork belly was crispy and well seasoned with just the right amount of fat. The selva steak and eggs plate was a great sampler of many of their dishes. The service is great and friendly. I had the carajillo coffee cocktail with brandy, which was good, but not my favorite. My other friends loved it though. Definitely recommend this place and will come again!“

Bartender serves great drinks and staff is friendly as well!!Wheelchair accessibility: I'm in a chair & can't always get in or around places but This spots defined wheelchair friendly & accessible!!!“

“This was my first time dining in after getting takeout a number of times.The spring rolls are definitely the stars here and are always fantastic! It's nice to order a few and share at the table. The shrimp and eggplant are my favorites.The main dishes are good as well and on par with some of my favorite Vietnamese places in the area.The deserts/pastries are a bit of a let down and I would save desert for another place. The macaroons were on the dry side and the macarons were too sweet for me.Service was friendly and informative.“

“Everything was amazing! The fish and chips, calamari, sashimi, fish tacos. Everything we had was delicious! Service was friendly and on parr. The atmosphere was very enjoyable.Would definitely recommend it. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“First time coming here, good food and great service. My mom could be a bit of a Karen but the cashier was so nice, patient and answered all my moms questions. I didn't get his name but he was the cashier with black glasses. The food was very good and he make great recommendations. 10/10 experience The pictures look a bit of a mess but that's cause we tore it up fast. The chicken was crispy and juicy, a lot of fast food places have fatty chicken, not this place. Fries are bomb like mc Donald's minus the grease“

“After going to the Garden Amp for a concert, a group of us were looking for a place to grab and drink and a bite to eat. We found this place on Yelp and so we decided to give it a try. This place is in a industrial but the wife and I like dives so we came in. Unfortunately, the owner let us know that the kitchen was closed so I went out to inform our group. We decided to have a drink anyways but when we walked in Paula met us at the door with that huge smile and said that they could offer us a limited. We quickly ordered 5 burgers and fries. BTW, the buns are made there at Henry's, that is a nice and rare move for a small dive bar, right? The beer offerings were pretty decent. I had a Blue Moon and my friends had Fuzzy... something or other. I was laughing and talking so I don't know exactly. My wife did get the Cardiff Cab Sauvignon that was pretty decent. What makes a great dive bar is the crowd and this place had a great group. The table next to us was serenading the room with both Bolero's and some great country hits. Their fun was infectious. Thanks again Paula for helping us wrap up a great night. Hope to see you again, soon.“

“Awesome speakeasy in the Anaheim Packing District! I knew it would be hard to get a reservation here so I started looking a couple of months before my birthday. Unfortunately, they only release reservations a few weeks at a time & as soon as my desired date was available, it was already fully booked. Since we were staying in the area, we decided to see if they would take walk ins. Unfortunately, the hostess said that they were fully booked for the night. I was super bummed & was ready to walk away but decided to ask if I could put my name down in case there was a cancellation. Fortunately, she said if we came back in an hour, she could take us in before the next resy came in. Score! We had dinner at their neighboring restaurant & waited until we got a text. The space is super neat! It is dimly lit, they had a piano player in the corner, & cozy. We went in February so their drink menu was love themed. I recommend getting something from their seasonal menu & their regular menu so you can taste the best of both worlds. They make their cocktails delicious & strong. The bartenders are friendly & gave awesome recs. They also serve apps here.“

“Fantastic view of the ocean! Belmont Brewing Co is located at the enttance of Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier. I'm not sure if there's free parking in the area, but we parked in the parking lot next to the restaurant which is not free. Had to pay at the kiosk. This place serves american food and alcohol. Came here during lunch time with coworkers. They ordered alcohol and returned to work right after. I ordered the american style kobe burger. It was very delicious but be aware that it's not real kobe beef. Staffs were friendly and had a good meal here. Really nice restaurant by the beach. Would recommend eating here. It might be a little pricey, but you're next to the ocean.“

“I've been trying to come to this place for the past couple years but they've always been closed since they're not open Sunday-Wednesday which is usually when we drive down to Disneyland from the Bay Area. We were finally able to come down on a Saturday and reserve a spot way in advance. Food was good but we came to drink the drinks. The ambiance was amazing they and a DJ and views of the parks with fireworks.“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“This bar has all the right games at any given time. Great place! Football playoffs were showing on every TV outside of the bar. Another the end. One maybe two screens were dialed to NASCAR. For the most part, Our server was attentive and she would ask us how are doing. Her instinct The menu was substantial. I choose the dip if I remember correctly. Awesome sandwich. The nacho were LOADED with various meats and copious amounts of cheese. Worth checking out if are visiting Whittier.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“First Timer and we enjoyed it very much. We live in the city but always drove by. We were glad we tried Slice. Very clean granite stove tables, waiter was informative, helpful and great service. Dined in and finished entrees without leaving a crumb. Soup and Veggies are all you can eat. Amount of meat is first ordered. No sticky tables and presentation done well and adds to enjoyment.“

“Visited Blvd Cocktails for the first time last night. My wife and I had a great time. The music was just right. The atmosphere was friendly and chill. They have weekly raffles. We bought $10 worth of tickets and won $50 at their 11:30 raffle drawing. Our bartender Alisa was awesome. She was welcoming, friendly, and made some great suggestions for our drinks. Alisa's friendly service is definitely a reason we will return for more drinks and to sample the menu.“

“They don't serve food here, but you are welcome to bring your own food Inside. You are also welcome to smoke your vapes inside. Bathrooms are kept very clean along with the whole bar and booth areas. Karaoke nights are always a good time with good vibes and friendly people.Parking: More than enough parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp about 20 ft. From entrance“

“We're cruising around on our bikes after moving to a new pad in Long Beach, and we stumble upon Panxa. It's a Saturday and they had me at their happy hour deal - a beer, shot, and taco for just 15 bucks. What a great deal! But it wasn't just the deal that got me hooked. They've got a killer menu with plenty of amazing selections, but that happy hour special? That's my jam. Panxa's not just a place to eat, it's a vibe. It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends or unwind after a long day. And can we talk about the staff? Always on point, super friendly, and really make you feel at home. Oh, and the best part? It's never too crowded. Plenty of seating, so you can always find a spot to kick back and enjoy your meal. Long story short, Panxa? It's become one of my go-to spots in Long Beach. If you're ever in the area and craving some good food and good vibes, you gotta check it out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.“

“I have been going here for many years but it's been a while since I was there. I had the golden Curry and pineapple rice. It was great! And, the service was good as usual. I really like the Upscale Interior and experience of eating there. And the prices seemed reasonable compared to what prices have been doing at restaurants all over.“

“Love this low key, high end bar. Best of both worlds. Dark and warm atmosphere. Phenomenal happy hour and cocktails. We came for after dinner cocktails and ordered an espresso martini and a "Coffee and Cigarettes" and they were perfect! FYI It's not closed. Try the door!“

“Came here on Easter with my parents. We started with the mushroom app. So good, crab stuffed and a great sauce (asked for more for my steak) we all got small side salads, which was nothing too special. The entrees we got were the porter house and a side of shrimp (which I shared with my mom) and my dad got the bacon wrapped filet with a blue chz sauce. Entrees were great and staff made sure I had everything I needed for steaks. We got the chocolate cake it it was light and fluffy, perfect end to the night!“

“We were up in the Long Beach area for the weekend and my husband wanted to watch UFC so he found this bar showing it at no charge! The place is big with lots of TVs, seating and games. It was a bit cluttered. Lots of stuff that were sitting in piles all over the place. It seems like it should be in a storage room but maybe they are short on storage. Other than that, it was fine. The staff was great. Like I said, it is a big place but we did not have a problem getting drinks or food. I ordered the pretzel bites and a Nathan's hot dog Chicago style. The dog was really yummy and filling. My husband ordered the quesadilla and he liked it. Said it was nice and spicy. If we are back in the area we will def return.“

“You can't go wrong. Everything here is great. Great wine, great food, great staff. I've been going here for nearly ten years and I've thoroughly enjoyed every visit. They have a great selection of wines and a few food items for service. Their charcuterie plates are a must! I also love the salt and pepper pistachios.They have a small match section with bottles they serve and a curated selection of gourmet food items like crackers, chocolates and jams. I haven't had an item I didn't love. Highly recommend.“

“Went here on a Saturday night (4/06/24) with a friend and this is a cool, hip and happening place for all ages. LOVE the atmosphere, LOVE the pictures and LOVE the green ? lights. I ordered the Alfredo Pasta with Blackened Chicken PLUS 2 pieces of garlic cheese bread comes with it. O-M-G, soooo delish and a lot of food too. The service was great and the music ?? was very hip. I will be back!!!“

“I've been here a few times, and it's always to catch up with a good friend over brunch. There is plenty of space between you and the next table so you can talk without everyone hearing your conversation. And there's just something comforting about their big coffee mugs and the food. The food portions are huge by the way. I always take it home. I love leftovers. I don't think you can go wrong with your order. Everything I've had here has been delicious. The only thing that is difficult is the parking situation. I don't come here on busy nights because of the parking.“

“BARCODE WAS INSANSEE (IN A GOOD WAY) the owner is always on standby making sure the service is 10/10. He is AMAZING!!!!! I live the next street over and and he was SUPER accommodating and welcoming. He recommended me and my friends a good drinks and got us complimentary shots!! The shot was amazing but even without the shot it SHOULD NOT allow you from coming here. SOOO CHEAP SOOOO GOOD! I love it, AND YOU SHOULD TOOO!!!!“

“Celebrated our anniversary here and we couldn't have been happier. The venue was easy to find and the ambiance was exactly our vibe. I recommend everyone order their poke nachos, it was enough for at least 3 to 4 people. The drinks were great, but it was the decor, music, and scenery that really livened up the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back during the summer to catch the sunset and try more dishes. We absolutely loved it here.“

“This place gets me into trouble and I am fortunate. With its 24 diverse rotating beer on draft, you can explore them using flight option. Also, they have their wine it's in own chilled draft box. Want more? You can to peruse their wall and wrap-around refrigorator of a craft beers and estate wine, champagne, and even non alcoholic beverages. Great for solo drinking, date night , and meet up with friends. Cheers !“

“This place is so rad, the pizza is awesome and the bar itself is such a classic dive bar that I can't wait to come backVegetarian options: It's a dive bar with phenomenal pizza I'm not sure if vegetarian should choose this place, I'm just saying!Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions maybe you should find another place because this place is super yummy and serves pizza and beer!Parking: I found a spot but my buddy did not!Kid-friendliness: If your kids 21 years or older bring them if not get a babysitter!Wheelchair accessibility: The front door is tight so you're gonna have to zig and Zag!“

“Our favorite local spot for a great selection of beers on tap. Barrel & Stave has amazing variety of beers and Chris is a knowledgeable and friendly guy who is so fun to chat with. Love their new location at Jaxon's. Great vibe, family friendly and fun local spot to hang out. This is our weekly spot to bring the family for dinner and a beer!“

“I LOVE this place! The food is always amazing whether dine in or take out, I'm salivating. The servers are so kind and do their job well. And the VIBES! that place is so cute they either have live music or some good jams playing in the resturant. I take everyone I know here. Can't wait for my next visit ?“

“Keep coming back to this spot, for many reasons. The food, service, ambiance, location, novelty. I've been during the daytime for a latte in the sun, and I've been at night for an incredible dinner service. I would say I prefer the nighttime experience, just because the coffee is pretty over priced, and they haven't nailed the daytime-cafe-vibe yet. Needless to say, they have certainly nailed the nighttime vibe. Wonderful small plates, super yummy pizzas, creative and beautiful dishes. Recently, my group of four and I shared a pizza and a few small dishes as well as entrees. Out of all of the dishes, my Alaskan halibut was agreed upon as the best, which was surprising! The creamed leeks beneath the fish were unlike anything I've ever had. We also REALLY enjoyed the snap pea salad. Such unique flavor combinations! The burnt basque cheesecake and marscapone gelato were wonderful treats to end our meal. I will continue to come back!“

“KJ!!!! You were INCREDIBLE!!! This was our first experience and we wanted to do something special for our anniversary and I'm so glad that we chose to come here! The atmosphere was energetic! The view?? I mean wow!! The food was fantastic! But overall, our waiter KJ went above and beyond to make us feel valued and special! We would come back, just to have him as our waiter! Thank you so much KJ for everything that you did! We really appreciate you and we both had such a wonderful time! Rise Rooftop, we will DEFINITELY be back!“

“This place is awesome! Affordable drinks, great vibes and on weekend nights this is the place to be! They don't serve food but we decided to bring our own take out and had no problems for that. Tip: Best place to watch Sunday Football!!“

“Everyone was super nice, fun atmosphere with great music. I had a margarita with chips/salsa/guac. The guacamole was okay, but the salsa was flavorful and delicious. The margarita was a good price. An affordable, fun place to eat with lots of great vegan options!“

“I've been to a lot of fancy steakhouses, and I can tell the difference between good quality meat, good flavoring, and good execution! Madera's rib eye prime steak was just that. It was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly! One of the best steaks I have ever had! Also tried their sausage with hatched chilies and it was just wonderful. We literally licked the plate clean! Yesterday, I got a carne asada wet burrito for lunch. OMG!!! Literally the BEST wet burrito I have ever had, EVER!!! The meat was so thick and tender and they do not skimp out on the meat. It's loaded with meat and a pretty big portion as well. I highly recommend any one who wants delicious food and a great environment for live music, to come to Maderas steakhouse! You won't be disappointed!“

“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“

“This bar reminds me of Cheers the sitcom. I go after work once a week but sometimes not every week. The bar tenders are super friendly and once you get to know them, their like a next door neighbor that you like. They will continue to get my business. They have all day happy hour specials on the board.Parking: Depending on what day and what time of day, parking will be difficult. Weekdays are plenty of parking.“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“Great good, amazing service, and nice combo deals. My husband and friends ordered cajun fries, garlic noodles, and their combo deal. We ordered the Captain Combo at level 2 spice as the full house seasoning. It had crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, and mussels. Everything was well seasonsed. It was enough for the 4 of us. For drinks, they have a solid selection of soju, seltzer, and beer. I saw that they have beer deals. They have the option of head-on shrimp and peeled and deveined shrimps. There's plenty of free parking in the plaza. There's also plenty of seating for small or big groups.“

“Very nice setting for a date. I just walked in and everyone had their own private table. I never ate here. I just picked up an order. Smells like spaghetti. Italian food places are always successful. They know how to do life family love. They stick together.“

“I give 3 stars for food because I'm not sure if they sold food, I just went for a few drinks with my friends. The service was excellent, the people were very smiling and friendly. The place is quiet and I really liked its theme. It's my first time going and I will definitely return.“

“I am so mad at myself that I am barely discovering this hidden gem after three years of living in Lakewood. Wow. The portions for their bento are so good for their price point. All the rolls are great price points for the quality they provide. They have amazing service and staff are so attentive. I am now a regular!!!!! Soo goood!!!!!!“

“Really awesome friendly and down to earth neighborhood bar! Bartenders are very attentive and did not leave my glasses empty or asking if I needed something. The drinks are not expensive here the service is friendly so tip the staff well! They have bagged snacks no grill so if you're starving eat first before coming in.“

“Stopped at Lucky John's based on the reviews and we were blown away with how good the food was. The cheeseburgers, tacos, and pulled pork sliders were all worth coming back for. Megan the bartender/waitress was fantastic. Cool vibe, great food, will definitely return!“

“Today was our first time here...and OMGosh...it did not disappoint! Friends & family have recommended Los Compadres and finally got to try this place! Food was sooo DELICIOUS, friendly atmosphere, customer service was EXCELLENT! We definitely will be going back...we cant wait to try other food on the menu...totally recommend it!“

“This is the first time eating here even though my friend suggests it all the time when we have work reunions but this time it was just him and I celebrating our April birthdays and besides my medium steak being too well done and veggies so under cooked I will eat here again because the peach cobbler I got to go was really good. I'll know how and what to order next time.“
