Celebrated my birthday at Long Beach beer lab and had a great time! We went on a Saturday and they happened to have a market going on downstairs so you weren't able to get a table in that area while it was going on. Luckily, my friends had arrived around 330 and the upstairs was pretty empty so we got to hang out up there mostly by ourselves! I loved the vibe in that area with the lights, couches, big communal table, and games. There is only one bar downstairs so you have to go down when you want a drink/to order food but it wasn't really a big deal. They have great beers, was a fan of their IPAs and light & crisp options. I really wanted to like the tiki dole light, a sour dipa, but it was too sweet for me. The bartender was nice about it it though and switched it out for me - they do give samples so I did that next time I wasn't sure about a beer.
Not only do they have great drinks, but delicious food, too! We ordered the sourdough loaf, margherita pizza, mushroom pizza, grandma slice, Cinnamon roll, and lemon tart. Everything was so good! My favorite was the mushroom pizza, it was pretty truffly tasting. I didn't try the cinnamon roll, but did enjoy the lemon tart. They are a bread lab too so makes sense why everything tasted so good.
It was busy but never felt too crowded and the employees seemed to be able to handle it because we had no issues, thanks LBBL!
