Happy hours in Long Beach are a tradition for office workers, restaurant staff, construction teams, those who are still working from home, and even moms who just need a break from their kids.
It’s the perfect place to get out of the house, enjoy weekly specials and live music, a full bar with some of the best happy hour prices, craft beers, wine discounts, domestic drafts and daily draft beer specials.
Our Favorite Happy Hours in Long Beach
No need for special events to bring you together, happy hour makes it easy to catch up with friends or co-workers in a more relaxed atmosphere, and over all, just have a good time with house margaritas in hand.
Many of the best happy hours in Long Beach California offer food specials too, including street tacos, fish tacos, crab cake sliders, half dozen oysters and a variety of appetizers.
While there aren’t many late night happy hours in Long Beach, there are a few. Even better, there are several weekend happy hours that take place across the city, which isn’t something you can easily find elsewhere.

Alder & Sage
- Address: 366 Cherry Ave, Long Beach, CA 90814
- Hours: 3pm-6pm Tuesday–Saturday
- Website
Between 3pm and 6pm every Tuesday through Saturday you can hang out in the Alder & Sage backyard for happy hour. Seasonal cocktails and coffee drinks, plus appetizers, are just a few of the reasons we love to show up for a little time socializing with our community.
Formerly known as Portfolio Coffee and Berlin Restaurant, Alder and Sage was the brain child of owner Kerstin Kansteiner after she bought an old preschool and merged two of her businesses into one space- coffee shop by day, serving breakfast and lunch, and a restaurant at night offering the same level of cuisine fans had come to love at Berlin.
Ammatoli
- Address: 285 E 3rd St, Long Beach, CA 90802
- Hours: 3pm – 6pm Monday – Friday
- Website
While we all love $2 off draft and bottled beers and wine, it’s the food menu that will get you excited for Ammatoli’s happy hour in Long Beach.
Happy hour specials include select mezzes for $7, including Hummus, Spicy Hummus, Mutabbal, Falafel 7 pcs, Mediterranean Fries, Batata Harra, Labneh, Mujaddara, Grape Leaves, and Cucumber and Yogurt dip. You can also do a three-way mezze with additional options of beets hummus, fried kibbeh, falafels, tabbouleh, tahini salad and the beets salad.
Our favorite– you can order entrees as buy one, get one 50% off, which is a deal that can keep my family fed for at least two-three days.

The Attic

Cafe Sevilla offers $6 beers and wines, $7 sangrias and well drinks, and $10 craft cocktails (the carmelized fig old fashion was delightful!), plus tapas & tacos starting at $5.
On the weekends you can enjoy flamenco shows, and they even have salsa classes and dancing at night.
Lola’s Mexican Cuisine
- Address: two locations
- 2030 E 4th St, Long Beach, CA 90814 (Retro Row)
- 4140 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA 90807 (Bixby Knolls)
- Hours: Monday-Friday, 3pm-6pm
- Website
Lola’s is like family to us. Anytime someone comes to visit, we take them to Lola’s first for dinner, Sunday brunch or happy hour.
During their happy hour you can enjoy $10 appetizers, $4 beers, $7 Modelo and house wine, or $7-$9 cocktails, including their house margaritas, most popular of which is Lola’s Margarita.
I love the bartenders here because they will make any margarita for me with whiskey instead of tequila (sadly, tequila and my stomach don’t get along).
Be warned- we generally end up staying for dinner, but we never feel bad. Anything we order provides plenty of leftovers for dinner the next night.
Mezcalero
- Address: 525 East Broadway
- Hours: 5-7pm Monday-Friday, 4pm-7pm Saturdays and Sundays
- Website
Mezcalero is a moody bar on the inside and light-filled patio on the outside serving up signature cocktails all day and night. There is regularly a DJ or live music, plus plenty of food to tempt your taste buds.
The Ordinarie
- Address: 210 The Promenade N, Long Beach, CA 90802
- Hours: 3pm-6pm weekdays
- Website
My husband and I finally went to The Ordinarie during their annual MIRACLE at The Ordinarie holiday takeover. The drinks were by far my favorite part of the menu, but the popovers and chicken pot pie empanadas were also worth diving into.
During happy hour, the small plates are $2 off, you can grab featured cocktails for $10 or $2 off all wine, beer and house spirits.
Panxa Cocina
- Address: 3937 E Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90803
- Hours: Wednesday-Saturday 3-6pm, Bar & Patio Only
- Website
My friend Wendy and I hit up Panxa any time we meet for happy hour. Their food is delicious, and the cocktails are always spectacular. While I usually stick to my “Nicholas Sage” cocktail, the margaritas are also good. Be on the look out for seasonal drink specials too.
Keep in mind that happy hour only happens in the bar area to the right, not the main restaurant on the left of the hostess stand. Like most happy hours, you will find discounts on drinks and a select number of appetizers.
Although not on the happy hour menu, always order the donut holes. They are worth every penny and calories.
BO-Beau Kitchen + rRooftop
- Address: 144 Pine Ave, Long Beach, CA 90802
- Hours: 5pm-6:30pm Wednesday- Friday, 2pm-5pm Saturday & Sunday
- Website
I won’t deny it, I LOVE when restaurants have a weekend and Friday night Happy Hour. We can’t all sneak out on a weeknight after work. Sometimes you have to take kids to soccer, catch up on housework, do your taxes, etc.
But, I do love Bo-Beau, who has a $9 well cocktails and house wines, although their specialty cocktails are certainly worth paying full price. Appetizers are also only $9, including their beef sliders, brussells sprouts (great with our without the cheese- in case you are lactose intolerant), mac n’ cheese, and best of all, their fried cake donuts.
Risü
- Address: 207 E Seaside Way STE A, Long Beach, CA 90802
- Hours: 4pm-6pm daily
- Website
Enjoy American-style tapas at this innovative restaurant that offers half-off all appetizers and several drink specials. We love that they offer their premium cocktails and select wines for only $7, well drinks for $5 and discounts on all beer.
The 908 @ LBX
- Address: LBX Long Beach Exchange, 3850 Worsham Ave Suite 410, Long Beach, CA 90808
- Hours: 3-6pm, Monday through Friday
- Website
When The 908 upped their Happy Hour game, locals rejoiced. While parking can be tough, even on a random Wednesday night, it is worth it for the $4 off appetizers (get the goat cheese stuffed artichoke flowers!) and $4 off their cocktail menu (does not include seasonal cocktails). There are also discounts on wine and beer on tap.
Yes, while their website still says $2 off, we go regularly enough to know that the discount is actually $4, and we are so happy it is.
Rosemallows Bar
- Address: 255 Long Beach Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802
- Hours: 5pm-7pm, Wednesday-Friday
- Website
Tropical-themed (sort of) cocktail bar with daily cocktail specials that last all night long, plus happy hour discounts. We loved the Desert Rose cocktail, plus huge booths and plenty of bar seating, especially during the week.
Saint & Second
- Address: 4828 2nd St, Long Beach, CA 90803
- Hours: 3pm-6pm weekdays
- Website
Enjoy appetizers from $8-$16, including truffle fries, flatbreads, oysters, charcuterie and meatballs. Discounts on a limited selection of beer, house wine and premium wine, as well as cocktails from $6-$12 will bring the libations, without breaking the bank.
The Social List
- Address: 2105 E 4th St, Long Beach, CA 90814
- Hours: 3pm-6pm weekdays
- Website
Whenever my husband and I want to sneak away without the kids, we head down to 4th Street in Long Beach to grab a drink at The Social List. Their whiskey menu is top notch and their happy hour is always worth looking in on.
The restaurant offers loads of discounts on food off of their starter menu ($8-$12), plus a $5 Beer of the Day and $5 House Red and White Wine, plus $5 Boiler Makers, $10 Old Fashioned and $8 Mule On Tap.
On Wednesdays, like many other spots along 4th Street (Retro Row), you can grab half-off bottles of wine, and Thursdays you can enjoy happy hour all day long.
