Long Beach Restaurants with Live Music
Nothing enhances the ambience of dining out quite like a side of live music, whether it’s a classy jazz trio in a steakhouse, a torch singer in an Italian restaurant, a guitarist at a small café or a rock band playing classic covers at the local pub.
Throughout Long Beach, restaurants of all kinds–steakhouses to seafood, tapas to tacos–host performers who bring their talents to make your night out a bit more special.
PINE AVENUE
Pine Avenue is a hub for nightlife in Long Beach’s downtown. Grab a juicy steak and a cocktail at The Carvery Restaurant (201 Pine Ave), which hosts live music Thursdays through Sundays. Cafe Sevilla (140 Pine Ave) has live music Wednesdays through Sundays, including Latin jazz, flamenco, and DJ sets. You can also catch jazz, rock, and Irish folk music at The Auld Dubliner (71 S Pine Ave) on select evenings each month.
