Shannon's Bayshore

Went here for some drinks and to play some pool. Ordered my drinks from the bartender, asked for some change and played started to play some side pocket pool.We did not come in peak time, arrived here a little after 1pm. Place was not crowded at all.Cool place to hang out. Good chill vibe. Our bartender, she was very nice. Made my wife and I feel welcomed.Only 4 stars since I did not purchase any food. I would come again.

Fun place to hangout with friends and meet new people. They serve you quickly and efficiently.

Always an amazing time when at Shannon's!! All of the bartenders here are amazing and give the best service! Corrin was amazing and took care of my girls! She has the best vibes, is attentive, and just an overall great human. Come in if you're looking for a great time , good cheap drinks, and a local vibe of Long Beach

STEPH JUDGEMENT: A generic dive bar mostly notable for its longevity. Back in my early 20s I used to frequent this place a lot more, and sometime in the early 90s I had my first Shoot the Root, their signature drink--a shot of root beer liqueur suspended in a lowball of Coors light. My husband and I'd ducked in here for a drink on our first date 8 years ago, after dinner at BRIX across the street (RIP), and we decided to revisit on our anniversary on a whim for old time's sake.It was a pretty quiet early weeknight--there were just a few people at the bar and at the pool table in the back. Of course I had to get a Shoot the Root (same as ever, like this bar). The hubby got a Space Dust IPA on draft. We sipped our drinks and reminisced about that first date, which was pretty epic. Our bartender was cool and the drinks were pretty cheap, but aside from nostalgia there isn't much here to compel us to return anytime soon. There are plenty more bars of this ilk much closer to us that don't involve driving. Maybe we'll be back in another 8 years.

Nikki (beautiful blonde) was hands down the best bartender I've ever encountered here. She was sweet, knowledgeable, and recommended the best drinks!

Super fun!! My first time here with my friend & we met some cool people, great conversation and they bought all our drinks:)) it is very small so beware but it's worth it.

Shannon's is the best bar on 2nd street and they have the best bartender, Baby!Baby is always attentive and quick to serve myself and other patrons of the bar. On a busy night, you can always tell when she is working, because people will literally crowd around her bar well. Whenever someone asks for a recommendation for a bar to visit in Long Beach, I always tell them to visit Shannnons Bayshore and to look for Baby when they get there. Every person that i have recommended to visit has loved the bar and loved Baby.She is the best in the business !

I used to love Shannon's when I lived in Long Beach. It was one of my favorite dive bars and always packed. When my husband and I were in the area a few weeks ago, I had to bring him to Shannon's. He can't resist a Jameson on the rocks in a dark bar, so he was all for it.It wasn't as busy as I remembered, which was a good thing, so we were were able to find a spot at the bar. The bartender came by a few minutes after we sat down and our drinks were in front of us in no time. She was very friendly and attentive. I was kinda surprised by so many negative comments--it's a dive bar people, let's keep the expectations low. It's in a great location, decent prices and a good selection of booze. Parking can always be a bit of a challenge in the area, so if you're nearby I'd suggest taking an Uber. If you're in the mood for a night out in the area, make Shannon's one of your stops on the crawl. Cheers!

Shoot the Root. Thank you Nicole for your service and the awesome service. I definitely recommend trying this place out when visiting Long Beach
