A speakeasy night in Long Beach

Dinner first, then the unmarked door.

5 spots · Jump to the list

Half the fun is finding the door. These are the bars behind a phone booth, a freezer, an unmarked stairwell — small rooms where the drinks are made slowly and it stays quiet enough to talk. Most are small, so go early or book where they take reservations, and eat first: few of them serve much food.

This guide ranks 5 speakeasies in Long Beach. Editors' picks come first, then the rest by rating, and the plans below build a whole evening around the best of them.
