    My boyfriend and I were visiting Long Beach from Austin, TX. After checking in and spending some time on the beach, we decided to look for a nearby bar. It was a lovely 12-13 minute walk from the beach and although Sweetwater Saloon wasn’t our intended target, we came across it before making it to our original chosen destination, and I’m glad we did! The customers and staff were very friendly. The bartender that took our drinks seemed to be new, but very attentive. I grabbed a beer (can’t remember the name, but it was a heavy dark beer), it was delicious. My boyfriend grabbed a tequila water, which was made correctly, not too heavy not too light. We paid $13 total for our drinks, which compared to the prices in Austin, is a great price for two drinks. The owner or bar manager was lovely. He was very attentive and sociable. Would definitely visit again!

    Lovely little bar in a wonderful part of Long Beach. Juke box and good drinks and pool table. I was there in a random weekday afternoon so it was quiet then. I'm sure it's wall to wall people on weekends! I'll definitely go back.

    Absolutely adorable friendly spot, our usual local hang out. I LOVE that the crosswalks on all 4 corners around it is now rainbow colored. Hell yeah! More color is much better 🌈. I am so proud of Long Beach! They think Hollywood, West Hollywood is pofressive, but let me tell you, they got nothing on our LBC, cause we are Hollywood by the sea! Huge progressive crowds here, youthful, inclusive, LGBTQ friendly and supportive, multicultural, fun, sweet, people oriented. Pride 🌈 is huuuuge here, parade goes for miles, and much less % of narrow minded souls. And this spot, is a staple in the LBC. I am not gay, but I have been here many times, and always had a blast, I love the ppl of Long Beach 👉 they love to have fun and are very engaging and friendly. Come down to here one time, and you will know what I mean. Engaging staff, great prices, party crowds going for days. Not a dull moment, even when empty, just a great vibe!!!

    when I visited with my friends we had a great time. good drinks, great prices, very friendly environment! the only reason I put 4 star is because there is only one bathroom and theres just a saloon door so anyone can walk in on you doing your business unless you get another friend to guard the door. I understand why there isn't a lock or a closed door, but still uncomfortable as a female.

    A quaint place. Good jukebox, nice drinks, a pool table and friendly staff. My friend won $151 playing Hot Spot ther his first try. He's always been lucky even in hooking up.

    Good locals bar with a comfy dive bar feel. Bartender was friendly and generous with the pours. The jukebox has a nice selection of tunes but it costs $1 per song, which was a bit rich for my blood. But the flip side of that i guess is that at least it keeps one person (with bad taste in music) from playing too many bad songs in a row! Overall a nice place - I’d come again!

    If urine and molding beer, penetrating nostrils gets you off... Go you'll be in heaven, but remember to fabreeze yourself after, you don't want to smell like an alcoholic

    The bartender was so unfriendly I couldn’t even ask for a glass of water he didn’t seem to care about serving us just wanted to be on his phone and chat with his friends. Not a good vibe at all. Superrrrr weak drinks.
