    Extremely disappointed with how Mezcalero handles women being assaulted. Two women were harassed and violently attacked in front of staff and nothing was done about it until SHE called the police. If you really cared about your “community” you would never allow something like this to happen. If someone has multiple complaints against them throughout a night, they need to leave. And to be hit in the face by someone twice your size and then being told by staff to “stop aggravating” the assaulter is absolutely unprofessional and inhumane. Spend your money somewhere else.

    Unsafe environment for women. Security and staff need better training. Extremely disappointing to hear of such horrible assaults occurring and staff/Security doing nothing about it. Would not recommend coming here.

    On our honeymoon. Specifically drove here from downtown for the Rooftop so we don't get COVID. We were on the rooftop for 10 seconds. It was real quiet. Staff said they are at full capacity on the outside rooftop. He recommended we go back inside to the packed standing room only superspreader bar. Of course to them that packed bar wasn't at full capacity since it was making them tons of money.

    We rented the rooftop for an event and it was amazing! Everyone loved the space it was cozy, cute, and separate from the bar! We worked with Amanda to reserve the space and she was amazing! Quick to respond and find solutions for our requests. The food was also delicious and a lot! We got food for 50 people and we had so much leftover. The drinks both alcoholic and not where a hit. We used a ticket system and it was super easy!

    I love this place! I came here on a Saturday night, and it was filled with people without feeling like it was too crowded. Their bartenders were very friendly and made really tasty cocktails. The indoor area was perfectly lit, and the music was bumpin' (shoutout to DJ Nativity!). They also have a rooftop area with a bunch of seating and tables, which I really enjoyed because it felt like I was at a friend's place. Definitely coming back!

    I love this place. Taco Tuesdays are blast as well. The DJ was amazing and the drinks always slap. Shout out to the bartender who was workin the left side (closer to the DJ) on May 17th. She was courteous and engaging and enhanced my night.

    single-handedly the BEST bar in long beach! I have never met a single unkind soul at this bar. Every single person here is so sweet and kind and amazing. Gelly is the bomb dot com and Sue (? i think that’s her name? I don’t remember her name and feel so awful for it) but she’s another girl behind the bar and she’s the sweetest. The drinks are out of this world, i’m a classic margarita girl and theirs are always stellar. Karaoke mondays??? literally go. it’s an amazing time that you won’t forget. (if that didn’t sell you, the food at Padre downstairs is to die for and they have a rooftop bar upstairs in case you’re too cool for the reg bar indoors) 1000/10 highly recommend.

    WOMEN, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. As a Latina women, it is absolutely heartbreaking to me that a place that is BENEFITING from Latino culture, could be okay with a Latina being assaulted there. My friend's girlfriend was slapped across the face last night because she didn't show interest in a man hitting on her. And what did the bouncers do? Absolutely NOTHING. They told her to calm down and didn't kick him out. They then proceeded to turn off their Instagram comments because people were commenting for them to take action. If I could give no stars, I would. Ladies, find a safer place to enjoy your night in LBC!!!

    GO! this place has an amazing vibe for a date or going out with friends. I went on a date and it was perfect and intimate. I went on a Tuesday evening and it was a pretty decent crowd with a great DJ. The bar area was kind of loud but sitting outside aloud for you to chat without yelling too m Cocktails - were delicious and the bartender was VERY knowledgeable about the cocktails. You can dress up and still fit in or be super casual and still fit in. It's a vibe for everyone.

    FAT SECURITY RUINED OUR NIGHT. Food was great. I ordered the Ropa Vieja. A group of friends we went to Celebrate a birthday, we aet dinner and after that we planned on going upstairs to the outside patio to play UNO and drink. BUT one of our girl friends who is 40 years old, her Driver License got expired a month ago, which she did not notice before. THE FAT SECURITY RUINED OUR NIGHT. He did not let her get in the patio, even though she was not planning on drinking alcohol, she was trying to find another type of ID and just join the group that was already at the patio. But he made a big deal out of a small situation. He was very negative, violent, and trying to get in front of a short lady, when the lady was speaking very calm. We were trying to ask a question, or trying to understand the situation and see how we could make it work for everyone (some flexibility), since the rest of us, we were trying to consume all night and obviously not ruin our friends bday. The Fat security kept saying he did not care of loosing business even though, the 12 people we had to leave and that he did not care because he was not the owner. BAD Experience with the Fat security was acting like if he was a COP, he did not let us talk, was almost screening and acting up. I won't recommend the BAR area. We ended up leaving to Sevilla's in LB were they treated us very nice, my friend got a small bday cake and a drink for free, which was unexpected.

    We went here for a Sunday funday and that's exactly what we got!! El Mezcalero has all your needs covered for an amazing Sunday funday. Happy hour starts at 230pm perfect for an after brunch drink. Come for the $3 beers and cheap but delicious margaritas and stay for the atmosphere the DJ and the good time. Absolutely loved this place. We'll definitely be back

  • 5/5 Kaycie W. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved this spot for the atmosphere & music. The outside patio is a good spot to hang out and talk away from the louder music inside. The mezcal cocktails were tasty and bartenders were friendly.

  • 5/5 Abi E. 5 months ago on Google
    A super amazing experience! The bartender was incredible - she was hilarious, so helpful in giving us a list of good spots to try in the area, and made phenomenal drinks. Great happy hour deals and awesome patio. Excited to go back!

  • 5/5 Karl T. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a cool spot to check out! The drinks were amazing, the karaoke was fun, and the people this place brought in was eclectic and fun. Can’t wait to go back!

    I've been to mezcalero once before. I had a great time but it was crowded and waited a while to get our drinks. This time, after waiting about an hour in line to get in, we waited another 40 minutes at the bar and when it was our turn, another person jumped in line and took her drink order even though the bar tender had told us she would get us next. When I told her that we were here first she laughed and the person who cut laughed as well and carried on. Took every once of me to keep calm. We just left. I love the set up they have. But I feel like they either need more staff or let less people in at a time. If I would have known I would have had to wait 40 more minutes at the bar, I would have not gone in to begin with.

    Came here with friends. Was only having one booze drink and told the bartender that - and asked him for a recommendation. He asked me what I liked and mixed up what was a really, really good mezcal based something something. Later, when I got my club soda and lime, he was attentive and super awesome. So thanks Mezcalero for being the kind of place that has great bartenders who mix great drinks and who also understand that sometimes one's enough! Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Karen R. 11 months ago on Google
    Happy hour is great! Staff were kind! It took a minute for our order to be taken, but once helped things went smoothly. Tacos are pretty decent, and scratch the taco Tuesday itch. House made chips & guac were very bomb! The bar made each margarita in separate tins which was nice, and ensured freshness.

    This is a great bar in downtown LB. I went with a group on a Saturday after we had brunch downtown. It was not too long after they opened and it was nice and quiet. It was a great spot to start a fun day of bar hopping downtown. As we were wrapping up it began to get busier and I could see how, later in the evening, the bar would fill up with patrons and become a great party place. Also, shoutout to bartender Alex for being super friendly and on it with the drink orders. He was great and the drinks he made for us were delicious. Highly recommend the classic margaritas.

    This bar unfortunately ran my credit card for $25 over what my actual bill was. I have tried calling them several times to dispute the charge and they keep hanging up on me. Disappointing.

  • 4/5 Marsha T. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great experience here. Ordered a couple Cadillac margaritas and my husband loved them. Milie was a great server. 4 stars because we've constantly seen the other bartenders do shots of tequila? Or something while they were behind the bar. Just a bit different! Pic of the Cadillac.

  • 5/5 Cynthia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cute location, they have an upstairs outside area and a downstairs outside area, full dining at the first floor and veggie options, love the unique cocktails

  • 5/5 Bill A. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun spot, cool vibes, good food, friendly staff and delicious drinks. Worth going for dinner or just a delicious cocktail. Nice little outdoor spot upstairs too. Would be happy to go back!

  • 5/5 Michele T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! Fabulous food! Fantastic drinks!! The outdoor seating was so fun and homey!! Our waiter Malachi was so fun and delightful and helpful with our food and drink selections!!

  • 3/5 Pru 1 year ago on Google
    First time here, in order to get to the bar you need to go upstairs, the upstairs bar lounge area is not that big of a space so it does get crowded. It was too no surprise that their beer selection sucks since it is a mezcal/tequila place. The outside patio is also very nice to drink and have a nice conversation. We'll need to go back on a Saturday since I was here on a Friday night.

  • 4/5 Chelsea B. 1 year ago on Google
    I always enjoy going to Mezcalero. The drinks are good and the outdoor rooftop patio is a great spot to enjoy with friends. It can get VERY busy on the weekends especially when there is a DJ and the bar is pretty small so be prepared to have to wait a bit for a drink. I prefer going here when it's less crowded to actually enjoy the space. But all in all, it's a solid LB choice.

  • 5/5 Ian D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great drinks and super friendly bartenders. Nice rooftop and enough space during covid. Restaurant downstairs is great too!

  • 3/5 Fatima D. 2 years ago on Google
    Food and drink was delicious…. Except there was hair in two of our parties plates. Hosts are rude. Servers are cool.
