More tiki bar travels in California! On 8/2/26 we stopped at the Bamboo Club in Long Beach on the way to Anaheim. This is a more recent tiki bar opening in 2019 (just in time for Covid). The place has plenty of bamboo along the walls and bar to fit the namesake. Probably a bit less decoration than some tiki bars (floats, puffer fish etc.) but still plenty themed. Some nice booths in the other side of the place, but we were at a high top table. At first we were right under a speaker that was blasting out Dio's Holy Diver: I was happy with this, but our group was less so. Once the server noticed this, the music toned down and switched to a more ecclectic tiki/60's list. They have an enclosed patio area with a huge mural by Big Toe, as well as a larger outside seating area. Service was very good, especially considering we were just getting one cocktail and going. The drink list was extensive with a mix of classics and new cocktails. I had the Doctor Bamboo (made with the funky Dr. Bird Jamaican rum) and liked it. Overall our cocktails were good but not the best of the trip.
Vibe: 7/10. Service: 10/10. Drinks: 6.5/10. Overall Tiki-tastic score 7/10.

Tiki Bar

The Bamboo Club

Long Beach, California, United States

Opened Friday, March 8th, 2019.

Long Beach’s only 7 days a week Tiki bar! Interior design by Bamboo Ben. Fantastic wall murals by Big Toe and Ken Ruzic. In addition to the outstanding cocktails, they also have a very good in-house menu. Last but not least, they occasionally play host to the Hardcore Tiki Marketplace on the weekend, with tons of great tiki vendors.

Happy Hour Monday-Friday 3PM - 7PM.
