There's not much I can say about the Inn. I knew they weren't known for much of anything other than getting drunk but I figured I'd try it out for lunch after it had been newly renovated after the storm. We took a seat outside and our waitress came over to us and all she starting the greeting off with was "can I get you some drinks?" No name. No specials. No suggestions. Nothing. Not even a smile. We ordered water (which consisted of a coca cola after taste) , a piña colada which, after not getting ID'd and after watching the bartenders 10 count pour, was very hard to keep down, and a coke which was completely flat. We than ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and Steak Tidbits. The buffalo chicken sandwich came out and was soggy and saturated with a mediocre buffalo sauce. The Tidbits were half fatty beef and the bread was tasteless. (Compared to whales tail and beach house, the tidbits don't stand a chance).. Pretty much everything was pretty awful. We than asked for a check and the waitress took about 5 minutes to come back to authorize our card and than another 5 to return it (keep in mind we were the only table in the restaurant). She than returned the card without a Thankyou, smile, or have a good day. Worst server I have ever experienced. The Inn looks great but I would NOT think about going there again.
Review Source:I'd say - the best time to come here is mid-day on a Saturday. Â It's not crowded and filled with college students and you can hang out with other locals and just have a good mid-day lunch or mid-day drink (or both). Â
I have found the staff to be super, super friendly.
I don't like going to ANY of these bars in the West End when it's a Saturday night and they're totally crowded. Â
But, like I said, you come here for an afternoon drink and snacks, it's a good time!!
Swingbelly's recently roasted a pig and had all you can eat food here for $10 - it was such an awesome deal, all the people that showed up were really cool and the staff was so friendly!
Enjoy!
As far as the bar scene...they crank the music so unbelievably loud, you can't hear anybody! Found out from a study that they do this because you drink more when you can't talk to people! Out of all the bars in long Beach, they are 1 of 2 places that charge a 10$ cover even when there's no band! The staff are arrogant, obnoxious a$$ holes! As far as the food...it's disgusting bar food...wouldn't feed it to my dog! They have also allowed people to smoke in there even though it's been banned in bars for years! Â hope this place rots...what a sh!thole!
UPDATE- happened to go in here again tonight as it just opened after hurricane sandy...not much has changed...a$$hole security, so loud you cannot talk to any1 without screaming, and obnoxious bartenders! Only good news was they didn't try to chrage me 10$ to get in! Seriously, what a sh!thole...why do people come to this place!!! Loud, obnoxious place with asshole employees! Oh, and they STILL let people smoke in their bar!!! FU@K the INN!!!!!
I visit long beach every summer and always eat here. I love their calamari and buffalo chicken. Something i've never had anywhere else is the Buffalo calamari (calamari with Buffalo sauce). It is yummy! This bar is also great for football. They always lend about 2 tvs to none local games (i'm a Pats fan).
There is outdoor seating, 1st floor, bar area, or 2nd floor. Great service.
Seafood Thursdays are awesome. Â Six bucks for a bowl of mussels and bread for dipping? Â You can't beat it and it's really effing delicious!
I personally do not care for this place at night - not really my scene, but if you're in your early 20s and like the fratty kind of bars this might be your place.
Ive always had fun here. Especially when they have a live band playing. The food is OK at best. Love Taco Tuesdays though. The service is usually right on.. I cant speak much for their cocktails bc i usually grab a beer.. For a bar it has pretty decent space.. Giving it 4 stars bc after coming here over the years with friends i always had fun :-)
Review Source:I want to give this place 4 stars so bad, because the bartenders are all great, and so is the food. Â You wouldn't think such a large factory bar would have a decent salad or perfectly fried, good-looking-meated chicken fingers, but the place does. Â Just great people and great food.
Just never go here and hang out past 9pm. Â The crowd is big, loud, and alcoholic. Â The music is usually an awful sublime or like creedence cover band. Â And I love Sublime and Creedence cover bands. Â The ones who play here are just awful. Â It's like what 92.3 used to sound like when it was KROK, in hell. Â
If you're trying to get drunk and/or laid and bump into 20 dudes with flannel shirts and 3 day old 5 O'clock shadows, this place rules. Â If you want to find a girl with too much make up, a loud top, tight black pants, and sandals or ugg boots in January or July... this place is great. Â If you are trying to get Bradley Nowell's spirit to rise from the grave, or just spin in it, pay the cover, some of which will go to the band desecrating his music.
If you wan't good food, go there in the off hours.
Hands down, my FAVORITE bar. I've never eaten there (I think), so I can't judge the food. For a night out, this is the place to go. Two floors. Three (big) bars. Live music mixed with a DJ playing covers, old school jams, and the current songs you are overplaying... all played on shuffle. Oooohhh I just wanna danceeee thinking about it!!! Good times, good times.
Drinks aren't free, typically priced for LB/LI. You know, $5 a beer $8 a drink. Treat your bartenders well and they will probably hook you up too. Bartenders Maria and Mickey are awesome - friendly, fast. Decent selection of beers on tap, more than your usual suspects: Bud Lite and Coors lite. They have a couple craft options too. $10 Admission to feed the band. Security is strict, especially at the door. Â During peak summer months, you might wait on line for half of your night and never get in. Go early. During the winter The Inn is just awesome (to me I guess) because I hate on sloppy hoards of people.
The bands they book are legit. Sick. I've only seen one mediocre band at The Inn.
The bathrooms stay clean (mainly, most of the time). Huge plus.
Question: what do you expect when you go to a two story bar, in a beach town, on a weekend? Â
Answer: drunk college kids, watered down drinks, arrogant locals in a pack, me...judging you
things i've learned at the inn:
1. Â don't turn your back on the ocean. Â or the irish
2. Â If I fall walking UP the stairs, my friends will step over me and call me a jack ass
3. Â If I drop my beer whilst pete moss and the fertilzers are playing, they will buy me a new one
4. Â If my homegirl goes to the inn wearing a romper, a burger king crown and missing a tooth - even she will get hit on.
If you go to this joint mid season with the expectation that you're going somewhere people will get out of your way so you can get to the bar for your fancy martini or glass of champagne, and the waitress will give you a 5 star meal, you're gona be sorely disappointed.
if you're down with a live band, a DJ, and a crew of: extra drunk, middle drunk and on their way to getting drunk chicken heads and frat boys, hit the inn up. Â Its exactly what you would think it is. Â Leave your pride at the door and stick to the beer unless you hit the back bar and the irish dude is working (if you're nice to him, he has a heavy hand). Â Their happy hour and drink specials are good (yea so if you want to get drunk and bloated on 20 bucks, hit this spot up on sundays for 1.99 buds)
in the fall and winter when the idiot beach crowd has gone back to their respective towns in new jersey and staten island, mosey on down to watch college football, regular football, and eat millions upon millions of wings. Â
I've never been here without pregaming, and don't think I'd be able to deal with it if I wasn't already saucing.
**not for the uptight patron**
Went this weekend for happy hour. Â They were very accommodating of our stroller and we promptly sat at a table outside for some great people watching!
Had a good dos equis special for 3.50 each or something, had the jerk wings (incredibly overcooked and dry with pretty bad canned jerk sauce, i would try the regular buffalo next time), wife had the mozz sticks which were pretty good.
Overall, not a bad place, I wouldn't go for the food obviously, but the waitress was great, very friendly, prompt and attentive as was the bus boy. As a bar, I have no idea since it was only for happy hour we were there.
Well my Ice was cold.... That's about where the good part ends.
We had just wanted to pop in for something quick before hitting the beach for an summer evening concert and thought The Inn would be a good fast choice.... Wrong.
Our order was simple enough, the fried calamari was absolutely frozen and had the consistency of a dry rubber band and the flavor that I'm having a hard time describing.... Something along the lines of iodine flavored cardboard? The steak sandwich which in my opinion is hard to mess up was just that messed up. Instead of slices of steak on a roll, it was two hunks of steak, overcooked, touch and not easy to bite into...Flavorless and extremely tough.
On a saving grace note our waitress was polite and attentive so she saved a star for the place. Â
Overall not a good choice if your looking for a quick bar/pub style bite. There's definitely better choices in LB if that's what you're in the mood for.
Clearly a bar not a restaurant. Â We thought we would grab a quick bite to eat here before heading out for the night since they have a small outdoor seating area. Â OMG it is not a good situation. The food was definitely previously frozen and not fresh at all. Â Looked like it took little to no effort to put together. Â Staff was nice and helpful but the food did the place in. Â I am not a drinker but it looks like a place that would be fun to come to to hang out with some friends as it is spacious inside and has a decent looking bar.
Review Source:After spending the day at the beach, we came across this establishment. Â Looked nice enough, so we walked up. Â We told the hostess we wanted to sit in the bar and she said great. Â So far so good. Â We found a cocktail table a few feet from the bar, put our stuff down, and proceeded to order. That was when things went downhill. Â The bartender was a elderly woman with the largest stick up her rear I have come across in some time. Â One of those people whose attitude changes the second you order water. Â Seriously, we biked 25 miles earlier in the day, and then sat on the beach for several hours. Give me my damn water without the the attitude. Â We then ordered some food and sat down. Â Well that was about all that grandma could take, and she started yelling at the hostess that we where sitting at a table and she was closing us out....ok, calm down. Â This might be the only place I have ever been where you need to be seated in the bar area. Â I got it. Â Anyway, the food was average and the table service sucked, but I didn't dare get up and walk 4 feet to the nearly empty bar to get a beer. Â Oh well, on to the next place.
Review Source:Decided to go here on sunday of memorial weekend. Business was steady it was not empty and it was not busy. I'm not surprised as we sat for twenty minutes at a table inside the bar, not one member of staff came to our table while there were three floor staff walking around chatting to each other with two female bartenders in the rear of the bar doing nothing, three customers sitting at their bar. The table beside us told us that service was terrible and they were planning to leave after their drinks to head to a bar down the street. We followed them. The Inn staff & management communicate with customers please!
Review Source:As far as atmosphere it's your typical bar but nice and spacious. Â I'm not your typical bar girl so maybe I'm going to give a biased review. Â
The only reason I frequent this place is for the "Seafood Thursdays".  They have $.99 oysters, clams  shrimp, and they also have $5.99 mussel bowls, and clam bowls.  Last but not least $3 miller lights. Â
HOW CAN YOU BEAT ALL OF THAT? Especially when the seafood is delicious and you can order as much as you want. Â It's FABULOUS!
Huge bar/restaurant located in the West End of Long Beach. Â Each day of the night there is a special. Â What I love going to is their Taco Tuesdays!!! What it is you get $1 tacos from soft and/or hard tacos with chicken, beef, or beans. Â Only thing is it requires a 2 drink min but they even have specials for that.
I'm looking forward to coming here during the summertime because it will be a great time!
This place should have zero stars.  If you are into juice heads, orange faces and annoying people then you will  love this place.  If you are a normal person, then you have been warned  to never go here.  I have so much to say about this place, but it just makes me so upset thinking how i wasted my entire saturday night in this place.   The fact that you would have to pay to go to this place is just the worst.  If you go to Long Beach this summer, go to the beach then head back to the city.  I don't want to be rude and say they the entire place is filled with trash, but it is, so f this place!
Review Source:I know this place is known for its Summer nightlife, but my wife and I go to Long beach many weekends during the Summer and eat here all of the time. The food is EXCELLENT. Try the mussels appetizer. Its incredible. Big portion too. Â Everything we have had here was great.
Never been here at night, but I am sure its fun.
Check out taco night. It's the absolute bomb diggs. I hear raw bar night is crazy good.
Sometimes they have bands playing that are pretty sweet. Â And everyone seems to have a good time here even tho it's ever so slightly dungeony feeling, aka like a dungeon. Â Maybe I feel that way because of how it looks from the outside. The super high seats can be strange when you're at a table that's not near other people sitting really high and then you're there 12 feet in the air with your date and you just end up looking tall or sketchy. Â I have noticed people trashing the types that go to this bar or other Long beach bars and they are somewhat true...not the highest quality of people. Â At least they are generally good looking in the summer.
So far, I have only gone to this bar on Sunday and Monday to watch football but I love the wings and enjoy the beer specials as well. I can't wait to stop in during the summer to see if the crowd is different! What makes me come back is the bartenders remember what you love eating or drinking and they are always so welcoming.
Review Source:I must say, I've spend most of my summers in Long Beach and The Inn is the only bar I will never get sick of! Â I am a huge fan of the live band they have performing on the weekends. Â The crowd is very laid back, everyone is out to have a good time. Â I love it when the bartenders let stacks of napkins go flying :)
As a restaurant, I've never eaten here except during the summer for their infamous taco tuesday nights... they weren't that great... but I went to hang out, not for the food, which I'm sure is why a majority of people go. Â
Your better off saving your money for drinks and come here for the live band on the weekends!
The Inn is an OK bar if it's not the middle of summer or a weekend (they extract a cover charge on weekends). Â Unfortunately the beer selection sucks and I may not live down the street from The Inn long enough to get them to start selling something like bottles of Sierra Nevada so that they at least have one IPA on the premises. Â Â Â
As a restaurant, it's not as good. Â Granted, I haven't tried most of the items on the menu, and my neighbor really likes to eat here, but it strikes me as typically Long Beach: a pretty standard menu served in a bar so that people can get shitfaced and pretend that they are having an awesome meal, with prices that seem fair to people who are already drunk or are trying to get laid simply by paying for a dinner.
This is not to say that the food is bad. Â I just don't know why you would go to what is basically a sports bar with a normal menu for a $25 entree. Â The burger is decent, but certainly won't make the burger list I'm going to be buried with. Â But if you happen upon a deal--and they have deals here--like all you can eat ribs for $13, which I did recently, dive in and eat like you're trying to save the national economy.
