Paul S.May 22, 2016If you like regional and international beers, then this is your spot. Throw in the unique food and the bar maids dressed in catholic school skirts and now you're talking. A fine gastropub.
Danya BushéyApril 22, 2013Dear Sweet Baby Jesus, Thank you for the fine burger, the crisp fries and allowing us the privilege of 2 dipping sauces. Nice job on the rosemary garlic. Thank you for the superb beer too. Amen.
Jacquie KuzmaMay 28, 2016Pulled pork and brie sandwich was out of the ordinary and delicious! Lucked into the all-day happy hour on a Monday evening, hungover from Vegas. Venue was pretty perfect for that particular moment.
Erik BrokJuly 10, 2016Their own beers are great and they also have a good selection of domestic and imported craft beer. Music is great too (classic rock)
Justin OrdovezaAugust 18, 2015Love the craft beer selection. Happy hour is great. The pretzel with saison cheese sauce was surprisingly good.
Andy FrancoDecember 16, 2015Cool place to drink with friends. Try the ribeye burger and french fries with sriracha ketchup! Great draft list of beers too!!
Rachel MercerSeptember 23, 2012If you're in Long Beach this is the place to drink. Great beer selection, but I personally enjoyed their Lemonade+Citrus Vodka Cocktail. If you're not super hungry, the pretzel is a great starter.
Michelle ParsleyJuly 22, 2013Great beer selection, def place to come if you're into Belgian beer, IPAs anx craft berr in general. Burgers and flatbreads are delicious . Kid friendly too!
John CassilloMarch 21, 2015If Beachwood's crowded, or you're just looking for beers, there are some great options on tap at Congregation. Covered patio too, if you need it.
Jillian WatsonAugust 11, 2013Easily one of the best bars in DTLB! It gets packed nearly every weekend, so don't get there too late if you want a place to sit.
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 21, 2016BarBar Honey Beer is one of Congregations many selections. Pretty good beer to mellow with.
- Ricardo DorantesDecember 17, 2018Good beer selection. We had the pretzel and it was delicious. It took a little while though, guess it’s made in the moment
- Rayshawn WilliamsMay 21, 2016The pulled pork is juicy and very flavorful. The brie cheese brings much more flavor to it.
Grilled Rib-Eye Burger. Best. Burger. in LBC. Try it - you're welcome. 👍
Great deal on Happy hours (till 7pm) on their delicious home cut fries. Try the Curry Ketchup & Garlic Rosemary Mayo for dips!- E MarMarch 30, 2016Great brunch! Bloody Mary pitcher is a great deal for two. Sit outside on the patio if you can.
Becky AwesuMMay 19, 2013Details of this place are a little grainy since I showed up already in party mode. But I do remember nibbling on yummy sweet potatoe fries. Awesome pregame spot!- Hungry SlothSeptember 22, 2016Wide variety of craft beers. And the grilled ribeye burger is surprisingly very delicious here.
Amaxing beer bar, the food is very good as well. If in Long Beach it is a must visit.
Kenley GaffkeJuly 31, 2023First time at Long Beach Creamery. Ordered the “Huckberry Finn” & “Burnt Caramel”. Some tasty flavors. #longbeachcreamery
Phil BiedronMay 27, 2018I've been to the one in Pasadena. A good time. The house Hefeweiss was just so-so
Beatriz CastilloDecember 30, 2014It's a bit pricey, but it has a good selection of beer. Great for young people that don't like going to 2nd Street.
ClareNovember 15, 2017Get the soft pretzel! Food is great, beer list is usually pretty decent. The staff isn’t always the most inviting but they’re not terrible.
Their Portobello mushroom sammy is delicious! Don't forget to add a side of fries to your meal for about $1 more - otherwise you'll have to pay $4 for a side of fries.
They make some of the best burgers in the LBC. Give the Sriracha Ketchup or the Sweet Chile Sour Cream dipping sauces a try.
Beer selection is amazing. Pizza and bratwurst is awesome!
Brian ReedDecember 2, 2014Great variety of beer, great lunch specials and legitimately friendly staff. AWESOME!
I love this place, since its opened. Ive never had a bad experience the drinks during happy hour are amazing and the Turkey Burger is a must have.
Nicole BullockDecember 12, 2010My faves: duck bacon sausage, pub pretzel, bacon arugula flatbread, and sweet potato fries. Sit outside on the benches and smell the ocean.
Bugers and beer. Nice atmosphere right on the promenade
- Joey BerumenNovember 15, 2013Great selection of beer, I had a burger too but the I don't remember it too well, that is probably a sign.
Sausages come on hot dog buns instead of flatbread. Changes the whole flavor and not nearly as good. Bummed to have lost one of my go-to staples :(
Sweet potato fries y'all!!! This place is awesome and great and is always lively!
Sherwin ShershotJanuary 14, 2013Alot of beers to choose from. They have 'midnight mass' which is their happy hr.
Best place EVER!!! If u miss it, u will miss out on the best Congregation life has to offer.
Great place to eat, drink, and mingle. Come for Monday Mass, $3 well drinks!
