23 Best Gastropubs near Seal Beach

“We love this place! Johnny made us feel like a regular and served up great cocktails and food. Get the chicken pot pie (if they haven't sold out) or a brick oven pizza. Too bad we missed Tommy who was out cheering on the Packers, but we'll catch him next time.“

“Stopped in for a happy hour drink and an appetizer. Service was great. The appetizer was also excellent. Little disappointed they couldn't make a Greyhound - no grapefruit juice, but otherwise it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air!“

“fantastic nook in long beach. great food (pretty classic bar fare but done very well), great bar, great service. some nights with live music, atmosphere spot on. i'll definitely be back to explore the menu a little more and have the bar teach me a drink or two.“

“Great food... and equally great service. Home style cooking with homemade sauces. Dodger game on TV what can be better! Kevin gave perfect recommendations and coleslaw samples for us to try. Wish I would've grabbed a pic before we dug in. Will be back soon. Thank you Wholly Smokes BBQ!“

“Our favorite neighborhood hang right now! Riley's never disappoints. I love the Watermelon Margarita. They have a decent beer selection. All the food is excellent! The Poke Wonton Tostadas and Ceviche are delicious and reliable appetizers. The Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad and the Steak Salad are two of my favorites. They serve very, very good pizzas and burgers. But my absolute all time favorite item on the Riley's menu is the Smash Burger. This burger is perfect in every way!!! If you haven't checked Riley's out yet, I recommend you do.“

“This place was amazing! Tonight was our first time here and I cannot wait to go back. The wings are BIG so for the price, this is a steal! We got garlic parm, thr Umami soy, and crispy wings.... alllll Delicious. The fries were super crispy. The cabbage and pickled radishes were also so yum. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. It is a MUST try.Also, they have a great selection of beer and soju!“

“Birthday celebration was wonderful!We were able to use their room which accommodated over 30 people comfortably! Delicious Appetizers and pizzas were brought out in a timely manner. Friendly and helpful staff!Parking: Parking is plenty but shared with businesses in the strip mall.“

“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.“

“Our party of five had a great meal at the Eldo! Everything was cooked perfectly, and tasted wonderful. (We ordered the fish and chips, lamb shank, chicken pot pie and the ox bbq chicken salad.) We were seated after a very short wait for our 6:30 reservation. Service was top notch and very patient with a high maintenance member of our party!“

“I've been here a bunch, just realized I've still never written them a review, so fixing that finally. They are definitely a "neighborhood bar" first, cocktail bar second - it's a great chill vibe, the sort of place that's never too busy (at least when I've been there) and where the music is never too loud to be able to talk. Their bartenders are all great, and they have quality spirits and reasonably priced drinks. And they do *have* a cocktail list - but compared to, for instance, Wicked Wolf nearby, for similar prices, cocktails that aren't quite as complex or as exciting, necessarily, but they have all been great cocktails. I also particularly like that they have, at least at the moment, Buffalo Trace on hand, so I can put that in any whiskey cocktail for about the same price. On their current menu, I particularly liked the "Cameoi" (bourbon, basil, lemon, blueberry, hibiscus cider) and the "Conquistador" (corn vodka, frangelico, romepope custard liqueur - as-is, it's basically a drinkable dessert, which is great if you're looking for dessert, but it's also an easy drink to swap different spirits in - I've also tried off-menu versions with mezcal and with Buffalo Trace that were also great.) I have only actually gotten food here once, and it was a couple years ago - their flatbread was nothing I'd go out of my way for specifically, but it's definitely also something I'd be happy to order if I were hungry and I was here. That said, the *real* draw that keeps getting me to stop in here, is the live jazz they have every Saturday at 8 PM. The jazz trio that plays here is fantastic, so whenever I'm out that direction on Saturday in the evening (most likely because something's going on at Wicked Wolf), I also try to arrange to pop in here during the live jazz. Cocktails go great with live jazz, and they're a super talented jazz trio. (But it wouldn't be such a draw if they didn't *also* make great cocktails.)“

“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!“

“My wife and I had to take a medical tourism trip to Los Angeles this month for our pup, and we came across Wet Dog Tavern. This place isn’t just a place to get food and drinks; it’s a community. Our intention was to go in, order some food for our dog (who wasn’t eating anything since the procedure we brought her to LA for), get some drinks after a stressful week, and leave, but we found ourselves staying much longer than we anticipated, talking with the bubbly bartender Brandt and the other patrons coming in. My wife and I connected with more people at Wet Dog Tavern across two days than we have in the 5 years since we left our hometown and transplanted to a place we knew nobody.“

“I really like this place, great view to the ocean, always friendly service. So worth it to come here for drinks and some food. It's so hard to write a review on burgers if they are ok. Easy if the burger is bad but what makes a burger stand out and makes it good? Here I have to say the burger is ok. It's fresh, good size and tastes like a normal burger. To call it ok is a good review in my eyes, enough to come back for another one if I am in that area. A burger is a burger in my eyes, they are bad or ok! Try it!“

“Red Table has been my family's favorite restaurant for a long time. We've celebrated countless birthdays here, and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful, and their food is absolutely amazing. They have tons of options to choose from, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Not sure why we have not been to the Social List restaurant located on the Retro Row community of Long Beach, CA. But now that we have we are Ecstatic. They have delicious cocktails to enjoy. They even offer you the opportunity to purchase a bottle , have them make drinks from it and they will store it for you in the liquor cabinet for your next visit. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a tranquil afternoon people watching. We will definitely be back. See you there.“

“A bunch of great beer, and the pizza is pretty good too. I wanted to buy some bread too, but they were out.Vegetarian options: Most, if not all, of the pizzas were vegetarian, but not vegan. We got the wild mushroom, margherta, and granny slice. The other option might've had meat, but I don't remember.“

“Great beer for decent price. Don't get the turkey burger, they try to mask the flavor with fun ingredients which is why I got it but the turkey flavor itself is not good. Everything else was fine, you mostly go for the environment of course.“

“We have been here at least a dozen times over the last few weeks due to our house being renovated while staying at a local hotel.Everything from the breakfast to dinner and their beer selection has been amazing. Our favorites are the Chicken Caprese, Reuben and the Miso Salmon. Their fries and desserts are great too!“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“Every year, I travel to Huntington Beach. My trip always includes at least one visit to 2nd Floor. We absolutely LOVE it! The servers are friendly and fun, the drinks are top notch, the atmosphere is so fun! We always order a peach mixed drink...never can remember the name of it...but it's a mixed drink, not a frozen drink...just ask your server. Wish we lived closer so we could go there more often!!“

“The team here at tap house is by far THE BEST… they deliver outstanding customer service, Great food (Belmont smash burger with a side of ranch ) on top of having some greet beers on tap.I highly recommend Long Beach tap house, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I've been wanting to try this place out at LBX. I'm Filipino and I noticed they had some Filipino things on the menu. I called in today to try their Filipino Brunch and I sensed some hesitation in the person's voice. Come to find out, this location is turning into an Italian restaurant but they were so kind to make me a Filipino Brunch to-go; their last one ever! They were so kind and I'm bummed it's changing but I left with a smile and a blessed heart.“

“The Food was beyond delicious, outstanding service, atmosphere was very nice and loved the music. Hadn’t been before because I’ve noticed it’s always busy…. But the wait went quickly. Will definitely be going back many times! A+“
