The Wicked Wolf Cocktail Bar & Lounge

This is a great little cocktail bar! It has a wonderful fantasy theme that extends to the drinks on the menu which were delicious. There was a jazz duo performing the evening I went which also helped to set the mood. My only gripe was it took exceedingly long to get drinks. I think it was almost 30 minutes before I could even get them to acknowledge that I was sitting at the bar. After that however, service was pretty good.

Dope new spot in Long Beach with lots of potential. Happy hour is the best time to come down IMO so you get those deals! My first impression was I thought this was a furry bar, but hopefully they’ll update their mascot so it doesn’t creep out new potential customers. 😂 The bartender was really friendly and the drinks were nice and strong. I got a kick out of the bathroom door signs with the two body one head. Lol Parking was pretty easy, we got there around 6pm and parked right out front, but I’m sure parking gets bad later at night. Update: The place got even better with new cocktails and food options. Love the charcuterie boards. Excellent price!

Jazz night every Thursday! Such a charismatic bar with very personable staff. Thank you Ebony and Ricardo!

Suuuper cool vibes. Very friendly staff, band was really good and added to the atmosphere. Drinks were very good and the second floor provided a great space to kind of relax and talk with friends after enjoying the bands company.

Stepping into The Wicked Wolf is like being whisked back in time to the roaring 1920s. The bar's ambiance immediately sets the tone for a night of intrigue and glamour. The dim lighting, jazz music, Salsa dancing on every first Friday of the month and vintage décor create an atmosphere that's both intimate and exhilarating. The drink menu is a delightful mix of classic cocktails and modern twists. The staff at The Wicked Wolf are attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience with their friendly and engaging service. If you were looking for a place to make your regular spot, you've found it here.

This is a very romantic place when they dim the lights, it's a great social spot when the lights are on and then if you are lucky enough to come on the first Turlesday of the month find the door that leads to the stairs for Mahjong!!!!

So glad I found this place! It has so much character, a great gathering place to lounge and have a good time with friends. Amazing ambiance with intricate details in the decor that make it fun to look at. The bartenders were all great, they know their stuff and make delicious cocktails. Can’t wait to go back.

Super cute bar! Perfect for date night. Loved the specialty cocktails, and the bartender helped me pick the perfect one!

This bar is so amazing, the decor is very eclectic and whimsical, while the drinks are truly amazing! They have some very interesting cocktails with ingredients that you would think go together, but I was pleasantly surprised! I had the dead man's hand and the tikka masala infused rum and I've never had a drink like it! The other great cocktail I tried was the blood meridian, sweet with a lil kick from the strawberry and gochujang syrup! If you are looking for a great cocktail spot, the wicked wolf is the spot to check out for new inventive cocktails! We will definitely be back for the bartenders as well, they were on top of it and it's super cool to see them work their magic behind the bar! They were very knowledgeable of the ingredients and other spirits on the back bar!

I came here once before but didn't have a chance to get photos or write a review They have a bunch of pros They are open pretty late They have bands and events, you can scan the menu and it tells you the schedule for upcoming events. The band we saw when we came in was called - second hand smoke. I felt like I was at a lounge in New Orleans They have great seating vs just sitting at the bar. They have such beautiful couches to lounge on. The atmosphere is great, I love the color scheme here. The place isn't huge, but they have a great amount of seating. And it's comfortable. I love the magical forest vibe The bartenders were all great They are also right next door to Wrigley bbq. And they don't mind if you bring food in from there (they are literally right next door) Wicked wolf does have a very limited food menu. It's just small things like a charcuterie board, hummus, a sandwich and other little items We did end up ordering the charcuterie board and the Cubana sandwich It is street parking. But both times I've came I got a spot right up front The drinks are great. I got an espresso martini and for my second round I had the pornstar (both my two favorite drinks) My girl, Lynn ended up getting the golden spike and an old fashioned. They also have a page full of signature mocktails to order. They also offer tea and coffee during the day I literally have zero complaints. It's a great place to just sit with girlfriends and have a couple drinks. It's definitely not your typical bar, so don't come here looking for a wild party. This is just a nice calm place to come with girlfriends if you want to grab a drink or two and just relax and talk Bonus points for it being locally owned and woman owned

The Wicked Wolf was everything I expected and maybe even more! I came here a while ago for my birthday with my best friend and we had a great time here. We arrived around 8ish on a Sunday night after having dinner and fortunately the bar was quite empty except for a few other patrons. The interior decor was cute and for some reason gave me forest fairy vibes. The drinks were elegant and the bartender was sweet enough to even give me a birthday shot. After much anticipation, I'm glad I finally had the chance to check out The Wicked Wolf and I'd definitely stop by again for a night out in the city. Totally recommend to anyone at least for a one & done experience!

An excellent bar to hangout with friends or partners. We didn't have any food, but the drinks were awesome and decently priced. Service was friendly. We went on a Thursday evening and there was a trio playing live jazz. The music was very good, especially as there's no cover. The decor is nice. There is also an upstairs rooftop deck. The only problem is that there is no parking, so you might want to Uber.

This place has soul and class. Great community bar we were greeted with a great energy the moment we walked in. Friendly bartender's the drinks are great (La Loba was my favorite) not too expensive. Fun theme for drinks and decorations. We could tell there were a lot of regulars there and checked out their calendar they have a ton of weekly events. Truly a unique place you have to check out!

Get here early to grab a seat! Food, drinks and ambience is awesome. We love sitting on the couches. I haven't been here when they have live music but would love to return. I like that the food menu is simple but everything is great. Drinks are well made.

$45 high tea per person- so worth it! Make sure to book ahead as this is reservation only service The Wicked Wolf offers! Came on a Saturday and it was a little busy but nonetheless we were taken care of! Our high tea came with two pots ( I got English breakfast, my friend got earl grey), mimosas( blood orange and regular), blueberry scones with clotted cream, madeleines, medley of fruits and two types of finger sandwiches(cucumber and chicken)! We enjoyed them all and I'm glad we tried this place out! We do need to come back for the bar though, and I heard they host cool events as well( like the improv shows, music, etc)

Love the ambience of this quaint bar in Long Beach. Came on a Friday to gran some drinks and they had a full jazz band playing and salsa dancing for $50 upstairs. We ordered chicken empanadas and the charcuterie board. Nice bites for the variety of drinks available to experience. The service was nice, everyone was pleasant and helpful with informing you of ingredients. The bar is a good area to sit when they have a band, outside of that when they do have seating available, it is still a nice space.

Came here with my hubby and friends. We arrived pretty early, maybe a tad too early. But we enjoyed our time nonetheless. Great ambiance/decorated like we're inside a mystical forest with cute lounge feel. Loved the cocktails! Parking was easy. Would come back for some live music.

We popped in to Wicked Wolf while we were waiting for our food next door. Music was a vibe too. The decor was super cute and whimsical, with a playful yet cozy vibe that made it the perfect spot to relax and have a fun time. Highly recommend! also my drink was very tasty& fresh tasting. SHOUT OUT TO EBONY!!!! She was a total standout! Not only was she super friendly, but she really went above and beyond when she noticed someone who seemed down on their luck. It's rare to see that level of genuine kindness.

Bummer...I was expecting so much more. We were from out of town so maybe knowing the area would have made this place more impressive. The reviews are outstanding so I was really looking forward to something special. It was ..meh... *The server was really nice *The ambiance was okay-ish *Drinks well crafted *Guy on keyboard was okay-ish Will give it another try when back in town but not seeing the hype.

This is a quirky tea house by day turned dimly-lit cocktail bar and live music lounge by night and as transformational and versatile as your favorite superhero's costume change. When you walk into The Wicked Wolf, it feels like you are entering a bat cave (or maybe it's a wolf den?) and once your eyes adjust to the light change you see that you have been transported to a mystical, mythical land lined by green forest trees (spoiler alert: interior is painted all black with the rear ascent wall covered from floor to ceiling with wallpaper of trees) you almost expect the white cloud of smoke to slowly pass under your feet and dramatic instrumental music to amplify. But, instead you are greeted by friendly bartenders informing you that after 4pm, the tea and coffee is no longer served and fairytale-themed cocktail (and mocktail!) drinks are shaken to perfection. My favorite mocktail was the popular Sleeping Beauty. (I didn't try any cocktails because I'm doing Dry January; Sorry, not sorry) Then you explore the space to discover that there is an outdoor upstairs patio with string lights and hanging space heaters (brrr...it gets a little chiller at sun down). While you enjoy your drink you just might run into the owners, a kind-hearted couple, who are testing out this hybrid cafe/bar concept (and, most recently, a donation center for fire evacuees) a little over a month ago. As an LGBTQA+ ally, I appreciate that this is a queer-friendly space, too. That evening a two-man musical duo - Chad on the vocals and trombone and Ashanti on the good old wooden guitar - by the name of Acoustic Soul Express performed for a comfortably-sized head-bopping crowd of locals. Playing all the hits you can't help but sing along to, I would recommend that you bring cash to tip these musical artists.

Stumbled upon this when looking for an open cocktail bar in the area. There were a lot of unique cocktail options with ingredients I hadn't heard of. We liked both drinks we tried, which I can't recall the name of. However, it had Sakura syrup in it and had the Cutwater flower shaped iced cubes!

This spot is such a vibe! It gives me Alice in Wonderland. The bartender was the sweetest! She let me try out the wine prior to purchasing which is a win in my book. Good spot to catch up and chat! I saw they had an afternoon tea, I will definitely be back to check if out.

1st time here The atmosphere was nice Super cute small place they have couches to sit little tables make everyone comfy and they even sell food outside I think they had performance but I arrived once it was done ! The drinks are really good and fancy cute They run about 15 dollars a drink The bartenders were nice got to us fast ! Eventhough is a small place is a really chill spot to just go and hang out with friends

My first visit to The Wicked Wolf was for their inaugural daytime tea menu. They've created a fun and funky ambiance in which to enjoy spot of tea and some light eats. Both the cucumber sandwich and Mexican chocolate chia pudding were good. The pudding had a lovely rich dark chocolate flavor. The lavender cardamom syrup in the Lavender Fields matcha latte was subtle but lovely. They offer nine options of loose leaf tea: three each of black, green, and herbal, plus ceremonial matcha, a chai, and London fog tea lattes and a few signature creations. I'd love to see their tea options grow as business does well but they're off to a good start!

Absolutely adore this bar, lovely cocktails, great music and fantastic bartenders. My friends and I were impressed with the mixology here, the best cocktails I have ever had in the lbc area.

Came here for a work happy hour and it was my first time visiting this bar! So glad I went. I wouldn't say it's a hole in the wall joint but it's a bar in a neighborhood I don't frequent nor would imagine this type of place to be in. But the vibes and decor make this a funky spot. Their drinks are delicious and love that they have a whole outdoor patio if the inside bar gets too packed. Will definitely need to come here again!

Great cocktail bar with a unique ambience and vibe. There is an upstairs covered rooftop, but wasn't able to check it out, due to a private event. Full disclaimer: food is not served here and there isn't s parking lot. There's plenty of street parking available. Loved the espresso martini and Don Quixote. There's very limited amounts of couches and ottoman stools to sit on. If you don't mind standing, there's plenty of space. The ambience was very Victorian, with velvet couches and floral tapestry pillows. Cute spot for a date. There's also live music, so it can be hard to speak, if you're sitting close by.

Wicked Wolf is located on the quaint, tree lined section of Pacific Avenue, just above 23rd Street. Open for a while now as a quirky cocktail lounge, they are now serving coffee and tea in the morning hours. I stopped this morning and was pleasantly surprised....coffee for two is a large pot of French Press with a muffin or specialty bread. They also have an assortment of delicious croissants, pastries and quiche ( provided by The Merchant bakery in Bixby Knolls on Atlantic and San Antonio...another establishment). This is definitely top of the line food and beverage! The coffee is served in lovely China cups, with saucer. Your own French Press pot to refill your cup is a nice touch. The atmosphere is a bit "bar like", in that it is dark and moody, but once your eyes adjust it seems quite cozy. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Pleasant jazz music is playing softly in the background, making conversation easy. I would recommend this place .... and plan to come again soon for the cocktails!

My favorite cocktail bar in LB! The drinks are fun, tasty, and creative. The bartenders and the owner are all very nice and welcoming. I love that they host so many different types of events (mahjong, live music, cocktail making classes) and show their support for supporting local businesses by hosting pop ups and displaying local artists' work on the walls. I've been here multiple times and it never disappoints! They're dog friendly and the owner will bring her dog sometimes and it's all around a great vibe. I've always been able to find street parking and there's a great taco spot nearby if you get hungry after drinking.

We were excited to check out Wicked Wolf in Long Beach, but overall, the experience left a lot to be desired. The drinks were underwhelming -- we ordered two different cocktails and neither felt cohesive. The ingredients seemed mismatched, as if they were just thrown together without much thought or balance. Service was also lacking. We weren't acknowledged by the bartender until another staff member stepped in and asked if we had been helped, which didn't feel very welcoming. The ambiance felt a bit off as well. The furniture arrangement had no real flow or intention -- much like the drinks, it felt thrown together without a clear sense of design or atmosphere. There's definitely potential here, but it would really benefit from more attention to detail -- both in the drinks and the overall vibe.

LOVE THIS PLACE! The ambience is so fun -- very mystical and creative. The food and drinks are EXQUISITE & my favorite part of the experience was the mixologist, Austen! She has been nothing but kind and her service is IMPECCABLE She has an upbeat attitude and gives great recommendations based on your favorite flavor profile. 11/10 would definitely come back here for the ambience, the drinks, and the lovely staff. Austen -- YOU ROCK

This place is a hidden gem! Love a place where I can have some tea and a cocktail. We came on a jazz night which I ended up loving!

This was such a great place!! It's a tea room by day and cocktail lounge by evening. Very creative drinks and they are excellent. The décor is out of a Tea room and the vibe is great! Think Alice in Wonderland having a cocktail party. The service is wonderful but you do have to place your order at the bar.

I butchered those names but close enough. First time here, heard a lot about it. The drinks here are strong but still balanced which is probably the best possible combo. I like the creativity in specialty drinks. You can tell they make a lot of ingredients in house. It's very aesthetic inside. The theme is definitely like story book tales. Enjoyed the decor. Devils deal was super cool w/ a lot cinnamon stun that almost looked like a cigar. Flavor tasted more like mezcal so I wasn't a fan but if you like that smoky flavor it's a good one. Vieux carre was like a strong manhattan or a manhattan w/ 3 shots. It is on the small size of about yea what looks like 3 shots in a glass but it was beautiful. Into the woods had a wonderful aftertaste and it's awesome b/c they smoke the drink in front of you. The Johnny applegate or something was a nice fruity choice. Parking is difficult. Good look, street only. HH 2-7? And only certain days...week days. Apparently they have a menu that changes every month so definitely something to try here, along w/ their classics and bar classics.

Really good drinks - Mai Tai was amazing great bands. Amazing vibes - cool bar tenders

I hate that I'm writing this review because I wish I didn't have to but WW has gone down in quality and I probably won't be returning. I used to go at least once once a month. The atmosphere was welcoming, it was beautifully decorated, racially diverse, accepting of LGBTQ individuals, and great drinks. In fact, I liked it so much I never frequented any other bar, because it truly felt like a perfect space and a home away from home. However, the last couple of times I've been there, there have been new bartenders. I had the same experience that I'm about to talk about with guy and a gal. They both seemed like they were in a really bad mood, they were short with both me and my friend and when we asked them simple questions like if they could substitute a type of liquor or what was popular, they gave us a ton of attitude and talked to us in an exasperated manner. I experienced it once and I said oh this person must be having a bad day, and then I went back and I experienced it two more times. From the same guy and then another time from a woman. It was really disappointing because my friend had come from far to come here and check it out. (I did give her a heads up about what could happen and sadly it came true.) It seemed like both of these people were very stressed and unhappy. I made up my mind never to go back, but it was really cemented by the fact that right afterwards we went to a brand new bar in downtown, which was way busier, and we were treated with so much kindness and consideration by everyone there. I'm really sorry that this has happened, but maybe some places are meant to be in your life for a reason and a season and then you move on

After a previously bad first experience. I gave this place another chance and decided to try their tea experience with my friend. And it was so LOVELY. The price point was reasonable. Tea time is always kind of pricey! The portions were soooo big and the food was soooo delicious. Tea experience came with scones, muffins, fruits, a pot of tea for each guest, cucumber tuna and chicken sandwiches, also a complimentary glass of mimosa. Everything was AMAZING. Would say my favorite sandwich was the cucumber! It was so refreshing and just delicious. It was a very cute and beautiful set up. Definitely a warming and cutesy vibe. The servers were all so nice and welcoming as well. We finished all our Tea and took our leftovers home. This place is awesome! Definitely a good place to hang out with the girls and have a good Tea time.

This is definitely a dope ambience. The cocktails are well made and the bartenders are personable. I ordered a Geppetto (old fashion) and had it with one ice cube. It's a vibe of the Long Beach locals and I will be coming back. If you are looking to grab excellent crafted cocktails with easy parking and vibey music, this is the place to go! Also the Victorian couches are comfortable.

First time we went... Great experience. Yesterday when we went, total opposite. Austin was not friendly and she acted like she was having a bad day. Just all around bad service. Literally no customer service skills. Ruined it for us and probably won't be back because of her.

I attended a private event here today, the mocktails are always so yummy. Ebony is a great bartender, very attentive to guests today. Wicked Wolf has a cool vibe the decor is great. Also the rooftop is so cozy, will definitely return sooner than later. Thea the owner is so nice and attentive today at the event....

Just moved to the area and have been here a few times. It's a really cute place and it's always been welcoming. I've been there during the week when it's more chill and been there when it's busy and I will say regardless of the time the drinks are well made and taste great. Was there last night with a couple of friends and they had a band! The band was great but it clashed with the music on the speakers but over all I really enjoy coming here. They always seem to have something going on.

Best bar in Long Beach and a vibrant community space with something going on every night- dance, live music, book clubs, you name it! Now open as a charming tea and coffee house during the day this is the spot in Long Beach that most reminds me of New Orleans and I love it. Thanks Thea and Co for bringing this unique magical hub to Long Beach!

Delightful. Intimate. Fantastic cocktails. We are so lucky to have this place in the neighborhood!

Quality of the drinks - good Staff's knowledge of cocktails - good Friendliness of staff - subpar My wife and I came in for cocktails before dinner. Sat down at a nice table in the back for over 20 minutes with no acknowledgment. After moving to the bar, we are finally helped, but had to grab our own menu. Staff could use training or at least be a little bit more friendly to Walk-in customers instead of the friends they have sitting at the bar.

This is a fun spot to visit and have a drink. The decor and ambience is great- it's like a cross between Alice in Wonderland and a fairy tale setting, which makes sense given the name. Unfortunately the drinks here are subpar. They're trying very hard to have a fun menu with signature drinks, but failed to make the drinks worth drinking. There are niche ingredients and fun names, but the twists appear to be only for the sake of seeming original, and forget that a drink should be enjoyable first. I've now have had several different drinks, and have been underwhelmed with each of them. If you're looking for a fun place to have a beer or wine, this is definitely the spot, but this isn't the spot for a well done craft cocktail.

This cocktail centric spot is cool. Real whimsical vibe . Very clean with a nice staff .

Stopped in for a nightcap after a long day. We were able to get front parking which was really nice. The ambiance was so inviting. Dimly lit but lit enough that you could still see, we were able to grab a seat on one of the couches. Our drinks were tasty, and just the whole vibe of the place was very relaxing. There was music and conversation, but it was not so loud that I could not hear my partner. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because you have to order your drinks at the bar and then maneuver through the tables and people to get your drink back to where you're sitting.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Fun, artsy bar with tasty cocktails that supports local artists. I first came here during their opening weekend, when you had to make reservations, it was so popular. I was impressed on that first visit, and I'm happy to say that they've kept my interest piqued on subsequent visits. I dig their fun decor and the fact they support local artists by offering opportunities for them to exhibit in their space. But how are their cocktails? They were a little inconsistent in their early days but I think things are better dialed in now. I've tried a variety of their specialty cocktails over several visits and have liked them all fine. I most recently had a Jack Albert--named after a cat! The bartenders are always friendly and the owner, Thea, is warm and personable. They're the only one of its kind so far on that stretch of Pacific, but I'm hoping their success will encourage other businesses to think about setting up shop there.

I absolutely love coming here. There are some drinks that are on a seasonal rotation and it's an absolute blast to see what they'll be serving next. This place is an absolute gem. The bartenders are always cooking up drink orders and they all look so delicious. Their Instagram is also super fun and is very interactive. The wicked wolf supports many local businesses and really adds something to Long Beach. Also great mocktail options for those who are alcohol free! And not talking about just a few soda options, they offer custom nonalcoholic drinks that are super tasty!

The ambience is cozy and dim. It's a dark forest theme with green lighting on some nights. Staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about Bourbon and Whiskies. Cooper is very patient and passionate about his explanations. The seating is very relaxed and some place u can just fold your leg up and chat up with your pals. Tonight it was a live music night. Loved it. The singer and guitarist were phenomenal. A perfect place to dress up or dress down ! No problem. They have an upstairs where they host different events. Yesterday it was a salsa night, tonight it was a Gin tasting night. The security guard is welcoming and non threatening. The food is prepared in a tent outside by super friendly people. They take an order and they make it outside. Super meat heavy. Nothing vegetarian. Parking is difficult on the streets. Bartenders are super creative. They make and shake two drinks at the same time. Drinks are a must try and very tasty. Connor made us some lovely drinks tonight! Must go ! Love the chilled out vibe.

Service, the ambiance, the music/show, were all great! Had a really fun time! Will go there again!

This place is so charming! It's like being transported to a fairy tale. I went to check it out in the morning. I had a chai latte with a chai scone. The spices in both were on point. The ginger in the scone really popped. The service was friendly, too.

The drinks were strong and delicious, and the upstairs outdoor patio had a great vibe. However, the kitchen ran out of some items, which was disappointing given the already limited menu selection.Good for groups

The place was pretty calm and comfy, the bartender was really friendly, and i tried their non alcoholic option which i forgot the name of but it was quite okay! Didn't try their food tho.

Came on a Tuesday night and to our surprise there was live chill beautiful music drinks were delicious and ambience was on point!! Service was excellent as well!!!

This review is for their afternoon tea. It's $45. The good part is the you get a glass of bubbly. The tea I chose was okay, and the sandwiches were ok. But most of the baked goods that come with the tea service were from Costco. The macrons and madelines were definitely from Costco, the biscotti probably was too. It was definitely not your traditional afternoon tea bc there was just random stuff--chocolate in wrappers, strawberries, grapes on top. Because of the mediocre store bought food, I likely won't go back.

Loved the live music and the drinks. The ambiance was great too. The upstairs area was nice but I didn't sit up there. There was something missing from upstairs and I thing it was the lighting.
