Why you should experience B's Cocktails (Boomer's) in Long Beach, California.
B's Cocktails \(Boomer's) is what happens when classic dive bar grit and unapologetic drink culture refuse to apologize for anything.
Located on East Broadway in the Alamitos Beach neighborhood of Long Beach, California near the intersection with Temple Avenue and just a few blocks from the shoreline, this longstanding bar operates as a spirited neighborhood anchor where cocktails are stiff, regulars are vocal, and nights often bleed into the next decision. The interior is compact and familiar, neon signs, a long scuffed bar top, a jukebox that changes the tempo without warning, and every corner feels like it's witnessed its own set of legends.
What you didn't know about B's Cocktails (Boomer's).
B's Cocktails \(Boomer's) functions as more than a bar; it is part of the social fabric of Alamitos Beach nightlife.
Televisions broadcast games when the schedule demands, but the bar's identity isn't tethered to screens, it's tied to conversation, to shared order rhythms, to the unspoken understanding that here, drinks mark time. The cocktail list is straightforward, classics done without complication, and the beer pours are consistent enough that locals can order without hesitation. Its Broadway placement draws foot traffic from surrounding restaurants, beachgoers on cool evenings, and downtown revelers lingering past last call elsewhere. What feels like casual low lighting is actually the setting's way of concentrating focus onto presence: who's at the bar, what they're saying, and how the next round lands.
How to fold B's Cocktails (Boomer's) into your trip.
