Rooftops for Dining and Drinks
Let’s face it: life can sometimes drag you down a bit. Which is why it’s nice that, in Long Beach, there are plenty of places designed to raise you up above it all. Whether you’re sipping on something refreshing or dining on something delicious, these local rooftop spots will allow you to elevate your experience, day or night.
HALO
Perched on top of Fairmont Breakers Long Beach (210 E Ocean Blvd), Halo Rooftop Lounge offers panoramic 360-degree views stretching from the Hollywood Hills to Catalina Island. This chic, indoor-outdoor lounge boasts a bold design featuring emerald green tiles and a grand marble bar with brass accents. Guests can unwind with expertly crafted cocktails or mocktails while enjoying live DJ performances on select evenings. Whether you’re looking for a romantic sunset spot or a fun nightlife experience, Halo provides a stunning mix.
BO-BEAU KITCHEN + ROOFTAP
Located Downtown, BO-beau kitchen + rooftap’s (144 Pine Ave) second story deck is equal parts vibey taproom and ultra-cool urban hangout, with a design both stunning and welcoming. As likely to draw your attention up to the surrounding skyline as down to the street scene below, it draws energy from the city while providing a sophisticated respite from it. This stylish space is in keeping with Bo-Beau’s equally spectacular dining room below, serving such signature dishes as its famous Brussel Sprouts and Burger Royal.
BALLAST POINT
If you’re looking for a brew with a view, there are few places better suited than the sizable, elevated deck at Ballast Point (110 N. Marina Dr.). The energy that permeates from the area is a constant, in part because it serves a beverage line–ranging from “Crisp and Bright” to “Rich and Malty”--that helped launch the boutique beer era. It also serves a classic bar menu featuring fish and chips, wings, burgers, flatbreads and salads. Sitting high above Alamitos Bay, the outdoor space, sitting at Long Beach’s southernmost tip, gives you a one-of-a-kind view not only of the bay but Seal Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
