"Dive bars don’t get much older (or more famous) than Joe Jost’s, a Long Beach essential for over 100 years. In fact, it’s been continuously owned by the same family over the past century, no small feat. The high ceilings, early 1900s vibe, and famous pickled eggs make it feel like a place lifted out of time. The Joe’s Special sandwich packs a split Polish sausage, Swiss cheese, pickle, and mustard on two pieces of rye bread — an excellent thing to help soak up the ice cold beer." - Matthew Kang
