With just two days until the ball drops, there is still plenty of time to make plans for ringing in the new year. For those who like to get down and for those who prefer to chow down, Long Beach is sure to have the right celebration.
Club Real Ones at Rosemallows

Baby Gee
1227 East 4th Street
The neighborhood bar that quickly endeared itself in the hearts of Long Beach locals, is closing out the year with a bang. Waldo’s pizza will be serving up woodfired pizzas, starting at 8pm. (Early arrival is recommended as they will sell out fast). Sip on specialty cocktails and indulge in live jazz music from The Shawn Baltazar Trio from 9-midnight. Be sure to bring your razzle and your dazzle, as prizes will be awarded to the best dressed. Did we mention there’s no cover?
Buvons
1147 Loma Avenue
For those seeking a party and a tasty meal, bottle shop and bar, Buvons is hosting a celebration with an all-vinyl DJ set by Gooselamp. Nestled in the Zafaeria neighborhood, guests will have the option to purchase items from the special New Year’s Eve menu by neighborhood cafe, Mangette, featuring offerings such as oyster, Lobster Rolls and Shrimp Cocktail. The party begins at 7:30.
The Stave
170 The Promenade North
Bid farewell to Stave’s holiday cocktails with a no-cover celebration in the heart of downtown Long Beach. In addition to craft cocktails, the bar boasts a selection of over 75 whiskies which pair nicely with cigars that are available for purchase, in-house. Sit on the patio near one of two large fire pits and enjoy food from Taco Cart Catering and dessert from Sergio’s Churros. With no cover and plenty of places to sit, this is a no-frills New Year’s Eve celebration perfect for those who want to keep things more lowkey.
Bamboo Club
3522 East Anaheim Street
For those who want a little va va voom with their NYE, tiki bar, Bamboo club is throwing a party that won’t soon be forgotten. Sip on tiki favorites while listening to sounds from local djs and stick around for live burlesque performances. This is one shindig that is sure to sellout but tickets are still available for purchase online:
