Eat & Drink in Long Beach
Recreational Coffee – Voted “Best Coffee in Long Beach” by the Long Beach Post, Recreational Coffee is the perfect spot to pop in for your morning cup of joe. Steps from Level Long Beach, this roaster, café, and all around chill hangout spot sources coffees from all over the world. With coffees that are sweet, complex, and balanced you’ll wonder why you’ve been drinking anything else!
The Blind Donkey – This whiskey bar and games room is the perfect spot to post up for an evening and people watch. Sip rare whiskey’s while waiting your turn to sing karaoke or shoot pool. Located a mere 3 minute walk from Level Long Beach, we’re sure The Blind Donkey will become your favorite local haunt too.
Anmatoli – The moment you arrive at Ammatoli, it feels like home. Chef Dima has carefully selected every element of the inspiration for Ammatolí’s design. When a customer walks in, she wants them to feel as though they have been transported to a city in the Levant (the place where the sun rises). Everything on the menu is enticing, however we recommend trying the Traditional Musakhan on the dinner menu.
Ellie’s Long Beach – Ellie’s, located in the Alamitos Beach district of Long Beach, is a Southern-Italian inspired restaurant. Here you’ll find beautifully hand-pulled pasta dishes, classics like meatballs or burrata, and of course a fantastic wine list. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a while, their patio is a hot commodity!
Bo-beau – Located in Downtown Long Beach, Bo-beau offers casual California-French comfort food in “an urban style roof-rap garden”. Try unique dishes like Loaded Bulgogi Fries with shaved ribeye, kimchi, gochujang, and caramelized onions or their Duck Leg Pappardelle topped with pulled duck leg ragu, wild mushrooms, peas, and asiago cheese.
Broken Spirits Distillery – Broken Spirits Distillery in Long Beach, which opened on May 31, 2024, offers a range of handcrafted spirits and a vibrant dining experience in a space that combines modern and vintage aesthetics. Led by master distiller Massimiliano “Max” Stecca, the distillery features unique drinks including single malt whiskies, gins, rums, and aged aquavits. They have plans to expand their menu from burgers and sandwiches to more elaborate offerings while incorporating live music performances in the near future.
