This is my favorite place is Long Beach. I started coming a few months ago and I have been addicted since. The staff here are so genuine and sweet and the food is delicious. My boyfriend and I have ordered many items from the menu and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito, shrimp and grits and the roast. 10/10!

Came on a Thursday evening and it was alright.It was smaller than I'd anticipated, the size of a dive bar but certainly not the prices; it's a typical downtown "high-end" bar in regards to that.I had a couple of beers and their mozzarella sticks, which were nice and plump but not very crispy. The ambiance was great but I can imagine that it gets super packed when it's busy.Our bartender, Scott was cool but I wonder if they are short on staff because, man, that dude was running around, working hard ah.It was nice but I don't know that it's better than the handful of distilleries within walking distance.

5/5 overall. Highly recommend. Service was amazing and the food and drinks as well. We were sat right away and sever did a great job of communicating and building a rapport. The drinks are fantastic and made their own distilled spirits.From the list of food and looking around the Nashville fried chicken looked great - we didn’t order but seemed like everyone was ordering some variation of that as it comes in chicken tenders, wings or sandwich form. The salad is nothing to die for but a good refreshing plate. The shrimp and grits were good. The Nashville shrimp had a kick to it but given the buttery grits it was neutralised but an overall good combo.

OMG their drinks are soooooo freaking good!!! Along with the fresh hot food. I randomly chose this place by smelling the aroma and attractive design. I ordered the vegan risotto with salmon lol ? and a Mai Tai. This definitely will be a signature spot in Long Beach for me.Oh yes my waitor name Micheal was kind and professional.

Great cocktails, potato skins, chicken tenders!

After learning of Long Beach's own distillery, I had to try it out. I did a rum flight of all 4 rums they make and they ranged from decent to delicious. We also ordered the coconut crusted onion rings, vegan risotto, and penne rigate alla vodka (they use their own vodka) and they also ranged from pretty good to delicious. One thing is certain: the onion rings are a must try. I'm excited to go back and try what other delicious things this young restaurant/distillery comes up with.

The coconut onion rings ? Grits and Shrimp and all the rest was epic. The mixologist was off the hook on the cocktails. Definitely a place to visit

An incredible experience. We sat at the bar and greeted with the LBC hospitality from Kristen. She made sure that our drinks were always full and we had everything we needed. Keep her and keep doing your thing PBD! We will be back...very soon!

The atmosphere is nice and service is nice. However the drinks are fancy looking but not the greatest taste. I ordered the yes please and tea both made with gin. Not bad but not my style. As for the food… for one there are not many healthy options. The kids meals are as they are you can not substitute for healthy fruits or vegetables just fries. I got the fried chicken I liked it a lot may have been the best plate there. So over all just a 3 star for the taste and food options. Definitely would try another day I seen the brunch menu might be worth another try later?

Excellent food and service.
