    Sometimes eating at a bar you're not 100% sure about what you're going to get. But I can tell you this the French dip on toasted sourdough bread was one of the best if not the best French dips I've had in a long time. The enchiladas also looked amazing although I did not have a chance to try them. The most important thing about a local bar is the quality friendly service that you get nowhere else. Lona's definitely makes that happen.

    If Dive Bars are your thing, look no further than this. "Wardlows" as my circle calls it, is a great dive bar/grill. Taco Tuesday and Karaoke Friday are just some of the events they have here. Great staff, great beer on tap, and fun ambience. With good friends, you'll definitely have a great time here.

    Been here a few times and it’s a nice little bar to go to in the area. Nothing special. Usually it’s packed so we can never play billiards and have a hard time getting the bartenders attention. But somehow we always have a great time here. Prices are fair and the food looks great! But we never make it in time to try the food due to the kitchen closing. This is definitely one of our go-to bars for a quick drink away from the house.

    Great atmosphere, one thing I can say this place name USED to be the wardlow station. Not only did they change they name, the change the whole bar for better! Better food, fresh cold beer, they keep the place clean, the bathrooms are clean, fun place to play pool, listen to good music, have a good vibe with friends, grab a bite to eat and the bartenders and servers gets the job done with smiles on their face.

    Not much to say; had a beer, then waited at the less than crowded bar to order a second but 10 minutes later the bartender still rather talk to female customers and neglected my drinks. Normally cool crowd and it was nice to have a couple pool tables open too.

    It's a little hole in the wall. It seems this is a place for locals, but they're very welcoming for newbies like me! Food was good and their Mexican lollipop drink is AWESOME!

    Great little hole in the wall in the heart of Long Beach, great hosts, lovely crowd and from what I hear it's a family friendly bar until 10pm. They have a great selection of beer on tap at just $4 and $5 bucks. They also have food, karaoke, pool tables and clean bathrooms.

    This bar always has cool folks inside at the bar who like to talk and have a good time!! Food stops early, though!

  • 4/5 Mario M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice laid back bar. Good crowd, good bartenders. Only downside is they put beers in plastic cups on the weekend. Instead of the large glass mug. Only bad thing I have to say about this place.

  • 5/5 Melina C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good. Atmosphere is always good. Drinks are cold and fairly priced. Albert and all the staff always take great care of me and my guests. Definitely a nice neighborhood cantina.

    Met up my nephew and cousin at this place, the beer was cold and the music was up to us pretty much. Great place.
