The Merrow

The Merrow is a Long Beach gem! Locally owned and operated, it has a welcoming vibe that sets it apart. The happy hour is always a hit, and the menu is packed with great options—whether you're in the mood for a full meal or just small bites. At night, the place really comes alive—easily some of the best nightlife in town. Always a great time here!

We went there a week after the opening and the food service was bad-bad - waited 1 hour to get our starters. Atmosphere and people are great but very long long time to have food. Cocktails were interesting - a little boozy. DJ starting at 8pm is too early - we were thinking it will be a nice restaurant but the music was blasting. We will give another try after the peak season. Edit: only 3 stars because there were no commercial gestures for the hour wait from the restaurant and one of the glass was not cleaned properly and had to return the cocktail - no gesture neither... Edit: food was a better but still some progress (glaze on the carrots was too much and too sweet, seasoning on salad is too heavy...) and service was definitely better !! Still a little too expensive for what it is.

Amanda the owner is the sweetest most down to earth person. The atmosphere is amazing.The bartender and service is great and knowledable plus the food is delicious!

We love Merrow for the excellent food, craft cocktails and friendly staff. The Happy Hour menu is awesome- sliders, bang bang tacos and extensive drink options. Everything here is made with care and creativity. Thank you Taylor and Amanda for making our weekly visits feel like we are “coming home.”
