2024 is the bar's 100th anniversary. Go in if you have never been or have not been in awhile. Classic Long Beach bar that is world famous. Great atmosphere. Cash only though.

Great place to grab a beer and some lunch style food, only downside is that it's cash only, but still well worth

Perfect dive bar. This is a quintessential dive bar. They have cheap drinks and food. Their food (super limited) is great for what you want from a dive bar; pickled eggs, pretzel sticks, sausage (beef hotdog) sandwich. Highly recommended for a bar!

Best place ever to grab a schooner of beer and a Josts special sandwich. Very Quick service by really laid back friendly staff. This Host’s special sandwich is simple it has a type of hot dog, but I don’t think it’s a regular hot dog, it’s served on rye bread with yellow mustard and sauerkraut. Alongside with pretzels and a pickled egg. I never liked pickled eggs even when I was back Midwest but I tried Joe’s and now I look forward to having one when I go. The Prices are very low & beer on tap is fresh. The crowd here is awesome down to earth Plenty of room to grab a seat by the bar or in a large area in back with more seating. Heaps of pictures that portray the history of the bars locals.This is such a down to earth spot it can never get more real than this.

First time here and, no question, this is the best bar in LA.
Ever want to go back in time when times were simple? Joe's Jost is your spot. Not an overwhelming beer menu, CASH ONLY and a simple food menu. Now and days you don't come across a bar that still sells pickled eggs which is such a treat to have so don't knock it until you try and give to try it. Sandwiches don't like much but they are simple and satisfying. Billiards available and a lot of locals hanging out with plenty of seating available but do get busy.

Best place in the world, bar none. 100 year anniversary. Opened 1924. Oldest bar west of the Mississippi
