The Ordinarie Tavern

I gave The Ordinarie five stars purely for their Christmas pop-up because it’s truly top tier and hands down my favorite holiday bar. The space is decorated to perfection. I loved the over-the-top, gaudy holiday décor, and the cheeky Santa was my favorite touch. The vibes alone are immaculate and worth recommending for that reason. The food, however, was just okay. My boyfriend and I ordered the deviled eggs, mac and cheese, wings, and cauliflower, and we both agreed it was mid and a bit overpriced for what it was. The drinks were a different story…we loved them! I got the alcohol-free hot chocolate, which was incredibly rich and flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the eggnog cocktail and later the alcoholic hot chocolate, and he really enjoyed both. Despite how busy it was, our waitress was attentive and lovely, which we really appreciated. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was a huge plus given the long line and how packed the place was. When you arrive, they give you a card letting you know you have the table for 90 minutes, and they kindly wrapped things up right on time.

23rd,May,2026 From the moment we walked in, the gentleman at the entrance welcomed us with such a warm smile and kindness. After having uncomfortable experiences at two other restaurants earlier that day, that simple kindness genuinely meant so much to us and immediately made us feel comfortable and welcomed. At the other places, we felt unwelcome and were only offered uncomfortable corner seats even when other tables seemed available, so we left feeling pretty disappointed. But this restaurant completely changed our mood from the very beginning. I can’t remember our server’s name, but she was a woman with long curly hair, and she was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire meal. Her friendliness was honestly the most memorable part of our visit. The food was also AMAZING — the best meal we had during our entire week-long honeymoon in LA! We ordered the chicken & rice, fish and chips, and Caesar salad, and everything was perfectly seasoned, not too salty, and absolutely delicious. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed and giving us such a warm and happy memory during our honeymoon. We would absolutely love to come back someday! 💕

Stopped by the Ordinaire Tavern for a late night drink and had a wonderful time. Decor is nice, and the staff is friendly and informative. We saddled up to the bar and our bartender (sorry, I forgot his name) helped us decide on some unique after-dinner drinks, especially the Ordinaire's Clear Cut. He explained how the establishment not only comes up with its own concoctions, but can also make pretty much any drink out there. He then showed us a hard-bound book created by the Ordinaire staff, that has descriptions of scores of different cocktails. Overall, a fun experience. And the drinks were great! The establishment also serves food, which a lot of people seemed to be enjoying. A nice stop on the Promenade.

SIL picked a winner with The Ordinarie!! We walked to the restaurant and the area is very nice and well kept. We had a party of six and they were able to seat us on the patio right away. If you sit on the patio you will see a variety of dogs, a lot of people walk this area with their pets so that was a treat. Juliana was our server and she did an excellent job taking care of us. We started with drinks. The Blue Mermaid and a couple of Old Fashioneds. Blue Mermaid was one of the best our friend has had and Im sure she will try to figure out how to make it since this is not a drink you find at just any restaurant. The OFs were top notch. Ordered a couple of appetizers. Both highly recommended by Juliana. Popovers (excellent, our favorite) and the Chicken Pot Pie Bites (also excellent). Cesar salad was a normal cesar and had very good dressing. Soup of the day was Barley and it was exceptional, I normally eat half of the soup and this one was so good I ate the entire cup. Our friends ordered the Patty Melt with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. We ordered a Tavern Burger with fries, customized it which was nowhere near the burger on the menu and it came out exactly as ordered which was awesome and most places don't get it right, good job on this one! Juliana did an excellent job and made sure we had what we needed at all times, answered all of our questions and did great with all of the special requests we had. If we ever visit Long Beach again we will definitely return.
