If you haven't been to Firkin's yet then you're missing out! Great service and some of the best bar food I've had in a loooong time! Service: 10/10 I'm one that always sits at the bar, it's just more prompt service in my opinion. I came during an early afternoon on a Friday and it was empty other than 2 parties that were also sitting at the bar. I sat down and was greeted within 5 minutes and offered a drink. My bartender was very kind, patient, knowledgeable of the menu and great at recommending menu items. Ambience: 10/10 It doesn't take much to impress me so the brick interior and wood finishes stirred up a warmth within me and made me stay when I saw how empty it was (there were two parties of two people there), because a low turn out usually means the place isn't the best, not with this establishment fortunately! Simple and clean, I would trust eating here. Overall this establishment has very simple decor, but feels welcoming. Food: 9/10 Fried zucchini is a hit! Seasoned and fried to perfection, each bite just melted in my mouth. This will be my go to when I come back in the future. Wings were ok, if they start to offer dry rub options I would definitely come here just for the wings and beer! The wings were cooked great and maintained their succulent juices, but I'm more into naked or dry rubs and the fact that the wings had zero flavor ruined the experience for me. I also tried their vegan ranch and to be honest the taste is great! But I don't care for how watered down the ranch is. The heart cake is a big no for me. I tried the one piece side option and overall I couldn't wrap my taste buds around it. The taste was too powdery for me and the cake did not go well with the tartar sauce it was paired with. The pickled onions did give it some life, but not enough to make me want it ever again. The clam chowder is amazing!!! It's a strong second in the best clam chowders I've ever had and that's only because I've had clam chowder at the San Francisco pier. There is a herb that I could taste, but can't figure out what it is! It keeps this chowder from ruling the number one place on my personal chowder chart, but wasn't enough to ruin the whole experience. The soup and bread (OMG the bread!) was simply the best part of my Firkin experience! I tried a guava wheat beer and it was surprisingly tasty! I normally don't enjoy can beers, but I enjoyed this one very much! I then ordered the LB beer lab blonde they had on tap and enjoyed that one as well, but I love blondes in general so I may be biased. I will definitely come back here! This has been the best bar food I've had in such a long time.

As a vegetarian, I was super excited to try The Firkin because of all their vegetarian dishes and they did not disappoint! My favorite dish was the Buffalo cauliflower which I could have eaten all night. The bread was good to, if different, and my main meal was light but filling. I had the Parmesan salmon with veggies and even the vegetables were nice and tasty! The best part about The Firkin may just be their patio. It is so charming and dog friendly!

The Firkin is fantastic. They have done slight upgrades to the restaurant to give it a more modern feel, which has improved it a lot! The outside patio has been remodeled to look more modern and it’s much better now. The food and service is just as great and you still get the same pub vibe. I’ll be glad to come back.

Great atmosphere! Outside and inside seating, with a nice selection of draft and bottled beers. The most impressive part to me is the food menu. A huge selection of food, with about half available for vegans! I got all vegan food and it was delicious, but if you're with omnivores there's plenty to eat for them as well. A great, local pub, will definitely be back.

Curry bowl 10/10. Tofu is out of this world. Great local IPA on draft. Service best in town.

Caron Dodson

Great atmosphere, great food for everyone (vegan, vegetarian, carnivores), friendly service.

New place to eat on Broadway and Redondo! Yes!! Loved the Firkin Buffalo Cauliflower and Buffalo Chicken Tenders. Beer super cold - lots of TVs - nice servers. Congrats on the Opening!

Dog friendly. We go here with our daughter's family and our 2 small dogs for Brunch everytime we visit Long Beach. Great food. Seating with water bowls and treats for dogs on a lovely patio.

I go to The Firkin with my Capoeira buddies after class for delicious food and great company. They have an awesome patio with cozy firepits, and you can always catch your favorite game on one of their many TVs. We usually walk in about an hour and a half before closing, and Kelly always makes sure we get our orders in before the kitchen closes. She even remembers all our preferences — who drinks soda water, who likes still water, and who doesn’t want ice. By the time we sit down, our drinks are already on the table without us having to ask. Our group is so grateful for how warmly this place welcomes us every time we come in after training. The service always feels personal and genuine. Food-wise, I highly recommend the Goddess Salad with heart cakes — soooo good! I also love that they accommodate my special request: a plain salad with a turkey patty on top. And if it’s cold out, definitely try the Hot Toddy — it’s perfect. Thank you to Kelly and the whole team for always making us feel special!

Always a good time at the firkin. Their menu is super inclusive, good non alcoholic options like rogue cbd drinks, good options for gluten free people, and tons of vegan and vegetarian options. The serving sizes are huge too. Also, the back patio is really cute ♡

Air conditioning with lots of seating options inside. The food is really very good. They have a huge menu and options so for vegetarian and vegan as well. They have a great bar with huge draft beer and craft beer selectio s. They also have a a nice patio out back if you prefer to sit outside.

Exceptional food and service. Me and my hubby were served by Ian (I think, guy with tattoos that just had got back from Europe) truly attentive and excellent. Loved his beer and food recommendations. Went above and beyond!

Perfect bar to watch sports, bar and booth seating. Bar staff is good and doesn't take shit from obnoxious drunks, 10/10.

The quintessential neighborhood pub. You're going to find great food, drinks and atmosphere. My wife is vegan and can always find some good options.

Service is great!! Atmosphere is awesome!! But the food was horribly horribly toxic. Just an FYI. Liquid smoke is not meant to be used the way the cook is using it. Wayyyyy too much. Absolutely disgusting food.

First time here with some friends. Very disappointing. We frequent a lot of the places on Broadway and we like to spend quite a bit of money at the places we enjoy. We decided to try this place and it looks nice inside. However, the bartenders were very smug and not very friendly. We ordered an appetizer, the cheese fries. They were basically undercooked soggy fries with what tasted like a cheap cheese whiz sauce. We were ready to order a big meal and spend some money. With the lousy cheese fries and especially the smug bartenders, we decided to leave and go spend our money across the street where the staff is friendly and the food is good. We won’t be going back to this place.

Really disappointed with my experience at The Firkin in Long Beach. I ordered the fish and chips expecting a solid pub meal, and what came out were basically four tiny, burnt fish sticks for $20+. Completely unappetizing. We also got the chicken tenders — decent size, but they were burnt too. On top of that, we had to ask three different servers just to get ketchup. By the time it finally showed up, the fresh food we’d ordered was already cold. Overall, just a terrible experience from the food quality to the service. Definitely expected better.

I want to like this place, but unfortunately the service seems to get worse every time I go here. As a local and former regular, it's disheartening to feel like you don't want to go out to eat somewhere because of the attitude you receive from the staff. Their food is usually pretty good but just not worth it for the hostile environment.

I stopped in for a quick drink and was shocked to be charged $16 for a single glass of white wine. Nothing special about the pour, no premium selection. There are plenty of spots in Long Beach that offer better value. Won’t be returning.

Came in with my friends that are regulars. I understand that Long Beach is very communal and locals only and blah blah blah but to me, the service was completely complacent. My friends are regulars but my friend and I were not. I asked simple straight forward questions and the female waitress acted annoyed. We weren't greeted with menus until later. It's a simple question to ask how things are prepared. We had fries delivered to the table. The cheese sauce was gritty, the fries were undercooked. She rudely asked the plate to be moved over for the wings. She asked if we needed anything and I said salt. She rudely said "I was just about to get that." Avoid the blond with long hair. Either caught her on a bad day or she should get another job. Ruined my night, money and time.

Not really open until 10 always. Was super excited to try it after spending hours trying to find a place my friend was okay with. Just wanted a quick bite. I guess if they are slow they close as early as 9. Made me think of all the nights I had to stay open until the posted time because the restaurant owners I worked for didn't want to put '11 or until close M-W' as I suggested, because they didn't want people to show up and see me cleaning behind locked doors. I don't mind if it has to happen for financial reasons, just list the end time as 'until close'
