Congregation Brewery & Cocina - Long Beach

Abby themed bew pub serving mix between brewhouse and mexican food. I ordered the tatertots with nacho cheese that came with no cheese but i only remembered after leaving. The food was pretty good but service was terrible. As the food came out, I had to ask for silverware twice before getting up to get it myself. With better service, this place should be 4 stars.

Great selection of beer. Food was not too good. The service was great. The woman Diana was working alone, and did a wonderful job. Very nice and clean place!

I ordered the chicken fingers for $7 and the cheese plate. Delicious. Nice presentation. I just loved it. I sat outside. It was a gorgeous day and this place is right off Pine (one block East) and 2nd St. right in the center of Long Beach. Fun for people watching. A nice, classy spot for St. Patrick's Day. I also think they have great service with the exception of one weird moment. My drink (just whiskey on ice) had lipstick from someone else on the glass. When I told the bartender he dumped the contents of the cup into another cup and handed it back to me...savage. I was too shocked to say anything but I'm not a germaphobe so whatever. Lol maybe next time remake the drink all together? Looking back it's pretty gross. But taken as a whole this place is great and so is the service. This was a one off.

Delicious chicken sandwich! Could use more spice for my personal taste but I like it to be obnoxiously spicy :p not bad for a $9 sandwich. gotta kick up the heat by a notch definitely. Interesting place to visit, restrooms are kinda fancy ngl.

This place is decent but with so many better options around it, it's hard to justify going here. Food selection and beer selection is kinda limited. When I was there I wanted a sour beer and they had two options (seems light for an, "ale house"). I purchased one, tried a sip at the counter, it was horrible! I asked to replace it with the other. They said no and made me purchase the other second one. That type of customer service at a restuarant is just foolish. Someone doesn't know how to manage this establishment. That being said, so many new places have opened up around it and are in the area, you can pass on this one.

One of my faves to visit when hanging out downtown. The vibe is fun and decor is cool. Stained glass window at the bar and gothic looking chandeliers seems like being inside of a church haha. The guys bathroom is labeled Brothers and girls says Sisters. The creativity is just awesome! Food is good too!

The Congregation is always a great choice for a beer! I recently tried their food and was pleasantly surprised. I had the rib eye burger with sweet potato fries and it was cooked perfectly and delicious! I definitely recommend trying their menu, and the beer selection is always great.
