"Make no mistake, tiki bars and beachy dive bars are not the same thing. In the case of Long Beach's beloved Bamboo Club, however, the genres intersect magically. Sip a mai tai next to a small waterfall and bamboo paneling, or nurse a beer, catch a post-punk band, and play some pool. Even though there might be a few people ordering rum and cokes here, the bartenders know a Chief Lapu Lapu from a Doctor Funk. Hawaiian bar snacks like spam musubi, unagi mac salad, and loco moco are way better than they need to be, and the place goes out for the holidays with a Christmas-themed tiki cocktail list and an animatronic Santa throwing up a shaka sign." - brant cox
