Best Dive Bar

The Stache Bar

A prime example of a Long Beach hidden gem, The Stache Bar is the kind of classy dive that Silver Lake hipsters wish they had. Full shelves of small-batch and rare liquors, giant spherical ice cubes and skilled bartenders who know how to put it all together (at a fraction of L.A. prices) make the Stache an anomaly on the Jack ‘n’ Diet-filled 4th St. bar crawl. But the web-connected jukebox that often blasts Sublime and the single pool table in the back (usually being played on by the types who bring their own cue in a case slung over their shoulder) keep the place from becoming too overrun with the Downtown crowd. Even though they carry some craft beer on draft (including Long Beach’s own Beachwood), this is one of the only places in town to get a solid craft cocktail, so order a Moscow Mule made with house ginger beer or take your pick of a rye whiskey you’ve never tried on the rock (just one cube!).

The Stache Bar is located at 941 E. 4th St., thestachebar.com
