Sweetwater Saloon.

Mostly female, but all kinds of people overall. One person bought several pizzas for the entire bar to share. I don't know if that happens a lot, but it was very cool! Nice vibe, neighborhood bar, mostly woman-oriented, but open & accepting of all. The demographics changed at least a couple of times in the times I was there, in terms of age, gender, race etc. If I lived nearby, I'd probably come here often.

Cash only! Pool tables, darts, good music. Not a sausage fest like the Falcon or the Brit. Great place for the gay girlies

My boyfriend and I were visiting Long Beach from Austin, TX. After checking in and spending some time on the beach, we decided to look for a nearby bar. It was a lovely 12-13 minute walk from the beach and although Sweetwater Saloon wasn’t our intended target, we came across it before making it to our original chosen destination, and I’m glad we did! The customers and staff were very friendly. The bartender that took our drinks seemed to be new, but very attentive. I grabbed a beer (can’t remember the name, but it was a heavy dark beer), it was delicious. My boyfriend grabbed a tequila water, which was made correctly, not too heavy not too light. We paid $13 total for our drinks, which compared to the prices in Austin, is a great price for two drinks. The owner or bar manager was lovely. He was very attentive and sociable. Would definitely visit again!

Friendly queer dive bar and community hub. The bar staff are great! Cash only, but drink prices are very reasonable.

Absolutely adorable friendly spot, our usual local hang out. I LOVE that the crosswalks on all 4 corners around it is now rainbow colored. Hell yeah! More color is much better 🌈. I am so proud of Long Beach! They think Hollywood, West Hollywood is pofressive, but let me tell you, they got nothing on our LBC, cause we are Hollywood by the sea! Huge progressive crowds here, youthful, inclusive, LGBTQ friendly and supportive, multicultural, fun, sweet, people oriented. Pride 🌈 is huuuuge here, parade goes for miles, and much less % of narrow minded souls. And this spot, is a staple in the LBC. I am not gay, but I have been here many times, and always had a blast, I love the ppl of Long Beach 👉 they love to have fun and are very engaging and friendly. Come down to here one time, and you will know what I mean. Engaging staff, great prices, party crowds going for days. Not a dull moment, even when empty, just a great vibe!!!

Fun dive bar in Long Beach area. Photo Booth, pool, and pay to play music jukebox on the wall. Cheap drinks, good bar service.

Lovely little bar in a wonderful part of Long Beach. Juke box and good drinks and pool table. I was there in a random weekday afternoon so it was quiet then. I'm sure it's wall to wall people on weekends! I'll definitely go back.

ALWAYS A BLAST!! It is so hard to find a good lesbian bar and sweetwater knocks it out of the park. Fun vibes and great service. It gets busy and FUN!

We came to this spot earlier in the day and it was completely empty. The atmosphere is very quaint and welcoming. The lady at the bar was friendly. The pool tables are in pretty good condition, although some of the cues are a little broken. Overall, we had a very good experience at this spot.
