"Joe Jost’s has been in operation since 1924 and is a Long Beach institution. This legendary bar on a quiet stretch of the Eastside is not where you go for a late night of cocktails and dancing. It’s where you go by yourself Sunday afternoon to drink giant, frosty schooners of beer with a room full of local pirates, play some billiards, and eat pickled eggs and pretzels in the corner. It’s bizarre and wonderful and a place no one should miss." - brant cox
