Where to Go at Night in Long Beach
Long Beach has plenty of fun to offer by day, but that’s just the beginning. When the sun goes down, the bar scene revs up.

Long Beach is a city with an exciting and eclectic variety of nightly entertainment spots. Don’t be fooled by the laid-back beach feeling – whether you’re looking for fine waterfront dining in Belmont Shore, live music or dancing downtown, or a wine tasting in the East Village, it’s all within easy access via rental car, taxi, or Metro Blue Line train.
