The Bungalow Long Beach

"For years, The Bungalow has been one of those chaotic Santa Monica bars that everybody goes to in their 20s and, like clockwork, never returns to once they turn 30. That's true of their newer location in Long Beach, too, where parking is much easier. Tucked in a corner of an outdoor mall, the space has several dining areas with chic lounge chairs, velvet booths, and fuzzy pillows. There are still plenty of rowdy post-grads who think they invented drinking espresso martinis, but thanks to a huge rooftop deck overlooking the Marina, there’s room to find a relaxed corner near the DJ. If you’re looking for a place to dress up, dance, and kiss your future ex in Long Beach, The Bungalow won't disappoint. " - brant cox, nikko duren
