The Wrigley Tavern

I've been here a bunch, just realized I've still never written them a review, so fixing that finally. They are definitely a "neighborhood bar" first, cocktail bar second - it's a great chill vibe, the sort of place that's never too busy (at least when I've been there) and where the music is never too loud to be able to talk. Their bartenders are all great, and they have quality spirits and reasonably priced drinks. And they do *have* a cocktail list - but compared to, for instance, Wicked Wolf nearby, for similar prices, cocktails that aren't quite as complex or as exciting, necessarily, but they have all been great cocktails. I also particularly like that they have, at least at the moment, Buffalo Trace on hand, so I can put that in any whiskey cocktail for about the same price. On their current menu, I particularly liked the "Cameoi" (bourbon, basil, lemon, blueberry, hibiscus cider) and the "Conquistador" (corn vodka, frangelico, romepope custard liqueur - as-is, it's basically a drinkable dessert, which is great if you're looking for dessert, but it's also an easy drink to swap different spirits in - I've also tried off-menu versions with mezcal and with Buffalo Trace that were also great.) I have only actually gotten food here once, and it was a couple years ago - their flatbread was nothing I'd go out of my way for specifically, but it's definitely also something I'd be happy to order if I were hungry and I was here. That said, the *real* draw that keeps getting me to stop in here, is the live jazz they have every Saturday at 8 PM. The jazz trio that plays here is fantastic, so whenever I'm out that direction on Saturday in the evening (most likely because something's going on at Wicked Wolf), I also try to arrange to pop in here during the live jazz. Cocktails go great with live jazz, and they're a super talented jazz trio. (But it wouldn't be such a draw if they didn't *also* make great cocktails.)

Great neighborhood bar and great ambiance. I used to play jazz here and loved the space and the bar owner's dog.

Ok this is a dive bar with the perfect divey atmosphere. The cocktails were good and the pizza was surprisingly good. A fun place to add to your Long Beach bar crawl.

We had the flatbread pizzas and they were phenomenal! The service was quick and clean. I've been in the restaurant industry for over three decades, so I know what to look for. They've got a couple TVs going so there's something to watch if you're alone. I've only been there twice because I don't live near the tavern, but the locals were very friendly & there was an easygoing vibe both times. Drinks are delicious & affordable. It'd be nice if there was more punk rock in the jukebox, but that's just me....

Great atmosphere! Flat breads are awesome! Highly recommend the Charcuterie board, crackers are amazing!

Chill bar, bartenders always engage customers if you want them to, extra parking is in the back, 2 restrooms, they serve food, and $4 Pacificos EVERYDAY!

My friends and I came here because it had such great Yelp reviews. We were all starving, saw they had flatbreads and were excited for the outside patio. I will say that the service was great. The bartender and what I'm assuming was the owner were extremely attentive and kind. Very good vibes from them. Why I feel it was necessary to even leave a review is because it felt like false advertisement. First of all, the outside patio they once had no longer exists. It's extremely overgrown and they have legit 2 very small tables that feel like you're just propped up behind the building. We were really looking forward to the patio. It was just so bizarre. As for food, it was just not it. The wedge salad wasn't bad. I mean it's kind of hard to mess up a wedge salad. But the flatbread was so hard to eat. The prosciutto was basically Canadian bacon though don't quote me on that. Just didn't taste like prosciutto from my experience. But the dough was not just sooo ultra thin... but it was so soft and mushy. None of it was cooked all the way or even slightly crispy. The flavors were beyond bizarre together. We were so starving so we kinda just were like, F it let's have some anyways. We all felt sick after we ate it. I hate leaving negative reviews as I've been in the restaurant industry for 15+ years but this was the weirdest experience ever and I wish the flatbread resembled the pictures on Yelp and that they had an actual patio.
