Fantastic first time at The Bamboo Club! Savanna was our server, and she had amazing recommendations, and she was overall amazing! The drinks had tiki classics as well as new creations. I didn’t rate the food, as we didn’t try much. Definitely a different style of tiki bar but worth it to check out!

Great lunch specials! This bar is really cool for seasonal decor, especially Halloween.

Came here once just by chance and got absolutely HOOKED after that first mojito I’ve never been to a bar where every bartender is so consistently excellent. Whatever your favorite cocktail is, they’ll make it best here. Not only are the drinks the best in long beach (I’ve lived here 27 years i really don’t know a better spot!), but the food and ambiance is really killer. The fried broccolinis always keep me and my cousins satisfied (and craving more) while we’re vibing to the great music selection, and if you’re lucky enough to come here for dinner then I’ll just let you find out how good this place is. I’m a vegetarian and they have lots of options for me 😉 which is a big win in my book. Even with all that being said I still think the music and ambiance might be the best thing about this bar. The music is loud enough to dance to by the dance floor, but you can still hold a great conversation just about anywhere in the bar. THE MUSIC DOESN’T SUCK. They don’t play any top 40 or hip hop, none of the music that EVERY other bar in LA/OC is playing… you’ll hear some classic and Latino funk, you’ll hear new wave and 80s, you’ll hear ska or reggae, you’ll cut it up to some cumbias on the dance floor, they even play Bing Crosby during Christmas . The drinks of the Christmas menu are a must try.
This is a good spot if you’re looking for a place to have a great drink and truly enjoy yourself at a chill and SLOW pace 😉 if you’re looking to stack up phone numbers and meet up with other frat bros, try good bar down the street.
Thanks for making the year great Bamboo Club.

The drinks are wonderful. We had the jet pilot, thai me a river, and a few more. The service was sweet and attentive. The Mac salad is SO creamy and delicious!!! They even have a $10 and under menu if you’re on a budget. And at a tiki bar???? Hell yes!

Today we (and others at tables) waited 30+ minutes for drinks we ordered before just leaving without them. Server said they were busy but the bartenders were only making drinks for people at the bar?? Bizarre. Never had this happen at a bar before.

This place was amazing, we went on a Saturday around 1pm. Honestly we didn’t know what to expect it was a bit dark when we went inside. Once we order our first drink it was game over. I got a Mai Tai and the Nina Fresa (10/10).
The chicken sandwich however amazing that first bite that crunchiness was out of this world. My girl is not a big fan of Cold slaw and pickles and ate it all I was amazed. The Mac was a 7/10 not our favorite but still passed. We will definitely be back.

Novelty tiki bar that serves food from burgers to Hawaiian dishes. The food is delicious, but comes out of the kitchen a little too quickly.
The inside of this tiki bar is dark and dinghy, with the patio needing a little more than some bamboo and a fountain to continue the tiki vibe.
The drinks are what makes a tiki bar a tiki bar and they are great concoctions. We only wish that there was more liquid and less ice for the price. At about $17 per drink.. a glass full of ice that with the first sip empties 2/3 of the drink makes you question how much liquid is there. It felt like shots were bought and then poured into a glass full of crushed ice.
The macaroni salad and peppers would be the two dishes to get and share at the table.

Best atmospheric bar I’ve been to locally! Bartender was great and super accommodating, very chill vibe from the workers, and a lively dancing community tearing it up at this small but mighty dance floor. I was there last night with 15 friends and we all agreed it was one of the cooler bars we live by. I walked up to the bar to order a drink. A person behind the counter with two long Lucious braids asked if I been helped, before I have a chance to respond they say something about a “mess” referring to some napkins that were in front of me (reminder, I JUST walked up to the bar). Then they grab the napkin detritus and said very aggravated “i have to clean up after you people”… I did not appreciate the assumption that I was making a mess of their bar!! I wouldn’t disrespect the space like that, I ended up wiping counters I wasn’t even sitting at before I left because this person made me feel so guilty OVER SOMETHING I DIDN’T EVEN DO. After they cleared the napkin, they walked away to the front and another bar tender took my order. Thanks for the fun night and good drinks guys!

Such a cute spot with a strong theme and decorations. Its pretty dark inside but there is Indoor and outdoor seating. Happy hour is 3 to 6 and everything was really good!

I’ve been coming to this spot since it’s opening, and before that (Liquid Lounge) and to see how far it has progressed is just amazing! The look of the bar is very cool, in the sense that it maintains a divey feel with an awesome tiki ambiance! Several artists within the tiki culture have contributed to the interior of the location. The drinks are well made and well balanced, as fresh juices and syrups are prepared in-house daily. Don’t see a drink on the menu. The above average bartenders can make it. The food items on the menu are really delicious, and there is a weekend brunch menu. Check it out. Food items are a complete meal, so definitely try breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. This spot does have bands and DJs, so check the schedule! Also, check the calendar for special events, as it can get crowded during these events. This is one of those spots you should definitely look into if you find yourself in the area! Tiki enthusiasts, definitely a place to go, but all will enjoy! Perhaps make reservations if you anticipate a crowd, but they do accommodate walk-ins. I love this spot. It’s definitely on my top spots of places to go. Cheers, and I’ll see you there!
