Pike Restaurant & Bar – Long Beach

It’s all about Friday night! Best bourbon selection best bar sea food. Staff is awesome love the manager! So much fun! They are not shy about their servings. Just look for the octopus!

This is a cool divey bar, large bar inside with tables and stools and loud music, and outside seating. They were super accommodating for us and made extra room outside since we had a baby and we’re just enjoying dinner. The food and service was great. Lobster Mac & Cheese was the best ever! The clam chowder was tasty, the shrimp & chips, and fish & chips were delightful. The pitchers of beer have large variety and perfect for a group! (805!)
The waitress was super cute and cool. She was a pleasant addition to my sisters bday celebration.
Parking is limited to street but we walked over and enjoyed our time greatly. It’s a lil pricey but the portions and quality of the food was perfection!
I would definitely go back some night to just enjoy the hip and divey vibe. Maybe watch a game or just enjoy good food and drink while listening to good music.

Great food fun environment ! Always have a great time here with friends. Employees are really friendly!

Best fish and chips ever. My husband and I love venturing to Long Beach for this place and we’ll never go anywhere else for fish and chips!

I’ll start by saying I’ve been to the Pike several times before, and it is generally an ok place to hang out. The other night, I had an experience I thought was unacceptable, and thought I would share it. The reason I was upset was that they did last call just before 1:30, and by 1:38 they were already throwing us out.
When they told us we needed to leave, I explained to the guy throwing us out that it had only been a few minutes since receiving our beer, and asked if we could just have a few minutes to sit and finish it. He said he didn’t care and that we had to go right then. He was not at all cordial about it, and while I’m sure he has to deal with a lot of drunk assholes regularly, this just wasn’t the case for us. This is when I looked down at my phone and saw it was only 1:38, and I told him he hadn’t given us even 10 minutes from the time we had received our beer. He told us that according to *his* clock it had been «almost 15 minutes since last call». We didn’t want to make trouble, so we left our drinks and got out, but I won’t be returning to the Pike again. If you want to close earlier, then have your last call earlier. Don’t sell your customers drinks, then not give them time to finish them, and top it off by being mean and aggressive to them about it.

This place is Long Beach in a nutshell: laid back and a little divey on occasion. Music is always solid, food is on point and the beer selection is usually pretty great as well. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and service is quick and responsive. Try the Fish and Chips or the Shrimp and Chips – you won’t be disappointed.

Killer food and service. Bar staff is helpful and makes sure you have a great time. DJ will rock you out if you’re into the genre they’re playing that night. MUST GO!

Pike is one of the only places in town that has old Skool music all generations can enjoy. Plus, who doesn’t want to go where the great chris Reese put his life into. Great music, great food, great music, and great company. Dont have to worry about fighting anyone because everyone gets along and is there to drink and listen to awesome music. If you have never been, please go. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

It’s kind of a dive bar with higher end food and drinks. It’s not cheap like a dive, though happy hour prices look good. Food portions are not huge, but just enough. Average meal is $ 10 to $ 12 and can go to about $ 20. I had blackened mahi mahi with mashed potatoes and fresh steamed veggies that was quite good. BF had shrimp scampi pasta and was happy with it. They hav a parking lot for about a dozen cars, which is part of the reason we ended up here since the café we were gong to didn’t have parking for blocks and my BF was injured and couldn’t walk far. We’ll likely be back to check out happy hour.

Weirdos and down to earth people only. Please and thank you.
For bar food its actually pretty good. It ain’t fancy by any means just like the décor suggests. The beer battered fish and chips are bomb. I love their thick cut fries. Beer selection is pretty good too.
This bar is more of a social gathering than anything which is why it has a mass of regulars.
I can’t come into this bar without running into a friend or making a new one. It’s a great place to hangout if you want to socialize and hate the clubbing or bro bar scene. There’s live music pretty much every day and on weekends they have a DJ play and usually some funky characters will get up and start a dance party on the smallest dance floor you have ever seen. The music does get loud sometimes so we will often sit on the outdoor patio. Remember its a DIVE BAR. If you’re not into any of the aforementioned items then you probably won’t like this place.
The bartenders are all awesome.
Quick and always take care of me right away.
It’s not for everyone but I always have a good time.

Hipster trendy. old joint with character/​appeal. Apparently owned by band member of Social Distortion. Great place low key.friendly.I will be back to this joint on 4^th st long beach.

I heard that they’ve gotten rid of a lot of the regular staff. You can tell. I’ve been going here for many years and have never had a problem with my bill. Went to happy hour last week and ordered 3 rounds. The first 2 were well within the happy hour time frame. The last round was ordered 3 minutes after. We asked if they would honor HH prices. The girl said she would check. The bill comes and only ONE round is HH prices. When the server was questioned we got a contradicting story of how they couldn’t manipulate price even though they said they did. I won’t get into all of the details but like I said, I’ve never had a problem before with the old staff. I might add that 2 different servers were helping us. Not sure if that means both don’t know what they’re doing, but worth mentioning.
If it happens again, I might not return.

On January 31, 2016, I had the pleasure of watching two of my best friends get married. One of my best friends lives in Long Beach with her boyfriend and he proposed to her. Less than an hour later, they were married! And this is the restaurant where we decided to celebrate.
We came in with a huge party (at least 20 people) and they were more than happy to accommodate us. We didn’t even have to wait for a table, even though it was a Sunday! The service was fast, friendly, attentive, and everything was super delicious. I had one of their ciders on tap and picked at a few of their appetizers. Their guacamole is very good and flavorful. I’m not sure if the tortilla chips are made there, too, but they were good as well.
It was a super fun experience with good, fresh food and cold drinks. The entire wedding party had a fabulous time, and it will be a day we will remember always! Thanks guys!

Live music is always fun.
Prices are a little high for what you’re getting in the food department. However, that is made up by the heavy pours in the drink department. At far as the atmosphere department, can be a hit or miss.
I’m giving 4 stars in the overall department, because the staff are generally good at what they do and are friendly about it.

Stupid prices. I live in Venice beach and this dive charges more for a burger than Abbot Kinney est. ! Considering you can get the best Bloody Mary in the universe for 4 $ and a Guinness for $ 5 a block away at Ashley’s — take it from me — stay away from this poser overpriced hole. We had the French onion soup served on PLASTIC, watery and flavorless. The bathrooms are filthy and old as well.
The juke box is pretty awesome and they have some alternative bands which is great — but please give me a break $ 13 for a burger in slum town Long Beach?
Ohh and to top the whole nightmare off — the band which was awesome! I mean top notch. Thy only played one set? What is that? We came in — waited for hours — and then one set? Iv never seen a band play one set.
The whole place is a hipster scam.

The food here is overhyped just like Social Distortions music. Came here with my fiancé while he was visiting from Holland. I chose to ignore the social distortion connection, even though it’s EVERYWHERE. We had some ciders and both got vegetarian dishes. The club and the mushroom melt. Barely any mushrooms (seriously sad, I can’t stress how pitiful it was and wish I’d taken a photo) and the sandwich seemed soggy. The club was ok. Not worth the money and left disappointed. Our waitress was awesome though.
Seems like they rely on the band connection and missed the mark everywhere else.

if there is a waiter who speaks Spanish when almost 50% in the US speak Spanish everyone who works in customer sercivio must be bilingual.

Come to pike to celibate friend’s birthday party. Beers taste ok, decent selection.
Pros:
+chilly cheese flies (night of eating)
+space to chill
+bark tinders were very nice and friendly
+was able to park in parking lot (rare for lawn beach)
Cons:
–chilly cheese flies (morning after eating, contagion status)
–in regard to space, neanderthal wish there was dart board or shuffleboard or swimming pool table or something
Overall, bar was alright. Not amazing, not bad either. To be on nest, neanderthal had higher expectations consider what other people have say before. But still had fun.

Best fish and chips. Not a huge fan of cooked fish, but this fish just melts in your mouth. Chips are potato wedges, also good. Parking is good earlier in the day, because it’s also a small bar so weekend nights you usually have to search for a spot on the streets.

Fish tacos and punk rock. Done deal

This place is great, but the DJ tonight (Saturday, Jan 16) was very very loud. Like unnecessarily loud. Couldn’t really mix. I’m sure he means well though…

tHe PIKE (…SOCIAL DISTORTION bar/​resto) on 4^th Street was a disappoitment. Not a Punk but a puke place. After my friends spending about $ 250 of food and boose. One of our buddy was of course drunk. We went smoking cigarettes outside and they wont let one of our friend go back inside as he was sleepy and drunk!!! I hate businesses. They just steal your money and have no humanity. i love Social Distortion but this is sick and distorted. We had a boogie and I guess the cool hipsters cant take the old school real punk fun. Crap!!!
The food was good though (fish taco lobster) and the DJ girl rocked it but the guys there have no sparks or sense of humor.

This is a cute little locals hangout. I have the fish and chips its most uniquely presented fish and chips I’ve ever seen it was pretty good, but be warned it does have a lot of batter on it. The service was fantastic the ambiance is really cool with you was good I would recommend this place.

This place has a cool vibe, great service, and large selection of beers. But the food itself was not up to par. Went with a group of people and ordered the fish and chips because it was one of their specials. It was honestly too bready and not crispy at all. The flavor itself was alright, nothing particular special about it.
We ordered the mushroom burger. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. It was way too dry that I had to ask for ranch on the side to dip my burger in. It was also just sloppily made.
Long story short, this place should just keep doing what it’s doing as a bar but not as a restaurant.

Shitty bar. I am here now and the music is so loud I can’t hear the person next to me. I asked them to turn the music down. They said «no». There’s like 10 people here. The bartender is drunk.
Just a stupid place.

This is my favorite dive bar in Long Beach! There’s so much history here… vintage photos and memoirs of the city collected from many years ago. The Pike is definitely a punk rock/​hipster/​hot rodder kind of place. You have to sort of know that culture to appreciate it for what it is. The jukebox is quite eclectic, serving up everything from The Misfits to Ratt. The Fish n Chips are excellent, and the Clam Chowder is to die for. I love the Blue Cheese Burger but wish they’d upgrade their buns to something a little more gourmet. I think there are small improvements that could be made to REALLY make this place top notch, but then that would take away its dive-​y charm. The Pike is a place you can feel comfortable in, you don’t have to dress up and it’s open late. I’d say it definitely captures the rebel spirit of Long Beach!

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s time I write a review…
By all means my absolute favorite bar of all time! It’s a great start and ending of each night out, don’t believe me? Come here and feel the vibe!!!
Just as a side note, the bartender Jeff, I believe that guy deserves 10 stars, he was beyond attentive, humorous and weary of our empty glasses!

Dive, dump. You bring a date here and you will never see her again!
Bad food, small portions in a dark and dirty environment.
Also the most rude service you will find in the area. Pikes other location in Los Alamitos closed after six months for the same reasons.

Waited at the front of the bar for 30 minutes to order a drink. Male bartender was busy taking orders from people who didn’t have to wait at all because they were his friends, despite my 30 minutes of repeated eye contact. Eventually, a kind stranger noticed I was being ignored so she ordered my drink for me. I spent $ 24.50 on a pitcher of beer and left the bartender a 50 cent tip for his rude behavior.
I then sat down at the table next to the bar only to have the bartender THROW and HIT me with the 50 cents I had left him.

I have only been here for breakfast but every time has been very good My bartender/​server every time has been very pleasant and not bad to look at! He makes a great Mimosa! I love all the décor! Very laid back and relaxing spot

Very disappointed… I wasn’t going to post, at first, but after this… I placed an order Togo over the phone and was quoted 10 – 15 mins, I waited 20 because I know what time it is. After arriving I’m informed my order was never rung in, cool no worries I’ll take a shot of Jameson and wait. They covered the shot for the inconvenience of it all, good deal I’m thinking. Until I get home that is. My steak which I ordered med rare is well done! Wtf, I’ve just lost it, can’t even with this. I’ve ordered this same meal Togo countless times and its always been on point, how do you kill a steak THAT BAD?! Maybe this is a fluke and I sure hope so, but I HAD to say something because no MEDRARE steak should ever come out WELLDONE.

This is a popping place for live music and drinks. I came out with my girl friends for a fun night out. It was country night! i don’t listen to country, but it was fun to dance to. The live band was great and really knew how to have fun with the crowd. The place sells standard drinks and good, greasy drunk food. I ordered the pike burger. It was better than I expected. It came in a French roll with a side of fries. The fries were differently sliced, like chunks of potatoes that gave it thicker texture. They had a surprisingly wide variety of food for a bar open so late. Good service and good times!

What Alex’s Bar is to Long Beach bars, Pike is to Long Beach restaurants. And the kitchen’s open til midnight, for all you Gremlins out there.

Love love love this place now! And the bartenders are awesome!
If you ever come in and crave something spicy and salty ask Jeff for the Pauline Combo
You’ll love it

I’ve been here a few times, once to eat before, a couple times just for drinks, and the other night for dinner and drinks. Love this place! The food has always been good.
Parking: PARKING SUCKS. They’ve got a small lot that fits less than 10 cars, so if you’re lucky you might score a spot here. But if not good luck finding street parking!
Food: I ordered fish and chips the other night and they were delicious. Huge portion! My friends ordered burritos and sandwiches and they seemed to enjoy their food as well.
Fun aquatic atmosphere. We ended up at the table outside eventually and they have space heaters to keep you warm. Love 4^th St!

Fun local bar! Nothing fancy, but not too divey. The Pike offers a good cocktail selection, good beer selection, and good music selection on the jukebox. Often hosts small bands or DJ sets, since there’s a little more floor space here. Seating is somewhat limited, since it fills up quick– even on a weeknight. But patrons are prone to mingling here, so it feels like seats free up pretty easily.
The Pike is owned by the former drummer of Social Distortion, so there’s a decent amount of memorabilia from their various shows. The crowds tend to vary from bikers to hipsters to regular 30-​somethings. It’s a fun atmosphere, and the service is generally awesome (no waiting an eternity for a drink). I can’t personally speak to the food, because I’ve only had the hummus, but I know people love their burgers. When in LB, this is where I prefer to go for drinks :)

Mi Mahi-​Mahi estuvo bien la porción pero le falto sabor, pero el ambiente, la música y la cerveza excelente !!! Buen lugar para salir de la rutina con tu grupo de amigos
