It is worth it to come here for the HH (4-7 p.m. Monday to Thursday) and enjoy the beautiful sunset view. If you are visiting (not an overnight guest), there is an additional admission fee to enter the cruise (discounted to $15 at 6 p.m.). The cocktails were exactly what you’d expect at a touristy bar – so I wouldn’t come here for any culinary innovation. But the cruise is worth checking out if you are a fan of the art deco designs.

All the employees here was very nice and attentive, and the bar prices were surprisingly reasonable. The views are beautiful, too. I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.

Let me start off by saying the Queen Mary is a fantastic piece of history, I attended these past few days and visited. Their bar, rich history, authentic and absolutely stunning. The food, on the other hand, can be a little better. Everything was delicious besides the sausage flatbread, which was very watery, kind of defrosted in a way. I’m not a big fan of I don’t typically complain, but that was absolutely disgusting. Although everything else I had was delicious and fresh, I would definitely come back again

Category: Cocktail Lounge. After a wonderful tour of the Queen Mary, both guided and self-guided, we retired to this classy Art Deco bar to pretend like we were among the 800+ First Class passengers who made it their tippling home while crossing the Atlantic during the ship’s glory days. Located near the prow, the bar’s wall of windows provides an expansive view of Long Beach Harbor. The festive 1935 Alfred R. Thompson mural above the hardwood-paneled and aluminum-banded semicircular bar, “The Royal Jubilee Week,” depicts well-dressed dancers with joined hands — one of whom is King George V (where’s Waldo?) — circling a statue of a man on horseback. The understatedly opulent room is anchored and accented by large bright red urns and columns, and a red railing capping the cast-aluminum barrel-themed balustrade separating the upper and lower levels. We snagged one of the small cocktail tables along the windows, surrounded it with the comfy rolling club chairs for the five of us, and spent the next hour or so enjoying cocktails while Observing both the bar and the harbor’s sights. The menu offers shareable small plates and signature cocktails, but the bar can make anything. Whether you have just toured the ship or are hoteling onboard, or are just in the area, this is a unique place to relax, unwind, and soak up the historic ambience. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

My husband, his coworker, and I were visiting Long Beach and I randomly found out about the “Meet at the Mary” Tuesday event that comes with free admission to the ship. We went to the Observation Bar and had an amazing time. The live music was fantastic, the drinks were so well made, the flatbreads were delicious, and the service was great. No notes!! We were also able to just walk around the ship after and look at everything. It was awesome. Wish we lived there so we could go all the time.

You can’t step into a place with this much vintage charm and not grab a drink. The Observation Bar has an old-world atmosphere that perfectly matches the ship, and the cocktails were expertly made—seriously impressive.
They seemed a bit understaffed, so service could be busy at times, but the team was friendly throughout. A great spot to slow down, soak in the historic setting, and enjoy a well-crafted cocktail.

We did eat but had a couple drinks. The art deco is so cool. Just thinking of the history there blows my mind. Churchill himself probably had drinks and cigars there. Make sure you check it out

The drinks were fantastic! Went on a night where there was a love band, everyone was dancing, it was an absolute blast!!! Don’t expect table service though. They brown nose some patrons and ignore the rest. If youre not one of the privileged elite you’ll have to go to the bar to irder/pick up on your own.

This bar is one of the best examples of Art Deco styling I have seen. Panoramic windows provide an excellent view of the harbor for an evening cocktail or just grabbing a midday snack. Unfortunately it smells like a college dive bar and is not kept very clean. Additionally the wait staff is very slow and seem to be more interested in standing around talking to each other rather than serving guests. However, they are very nice and provide great service once they realize there are customers. The food that I got was excellent and is the same high level of quality as the rest of the food establishments on the ship.

Visiting the Queen Mary was a pleasant experience. I can understanding appreciate that the entry fee of $40 per person and the higher prices on drinks help support the maintenance of this beautiful historic ship. While the cocktails were a bit on the sugary side and not particularly impressive, my husband and I enjoyed the opportunity to explore the ship at our own pace on a self-guided tour before visiting the Observation Bar.
As an older vessel, the Queen Mary has its unique charm, but it does come with some signs of age. Despite that, we had a lovely time taking in the sights. I noticed there were plenty of staff around, but it would have been nice if they had engaged more with guests. For instance, my husband received attention while ordering drinks, but I didn’t encounter any staff who greeted me.
There were a few tables that seemed to need cleaning up after Happy Hour, but it wasn’t too much of an issue. We appreciated the chance to watch the sunset from the deck and soak in the atmosphere of this historic location. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, and we left with some great memories.
