"Not every LA bar is some rooftop poolside patio where you get to watch James Kennedy drink midori sours all afternoon. Our dive bars are some of the best places to drink in town, and you won’t find a better one than Joe Jost’s in Long Beach. This institution has been around since 1924, and is the kind of place you walk into at 2pm for a beer and end up staying until close because you got involved in a high-stakes billiards tournament with three 70-year-olds who just won their bowling league. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried their pickled eggs and pretzels." - brant cox, brett keating
