PBS pub located on Willow and Magnolia this place has great deals on pitchers of beer in our pool tables darts of back area so you can smoke relaxed environment and neighborhood people here know each other are more familiar in the same area chips sodas the mugs are nice and cold good place to get an ice cold pitcher of beer I went in at the bar say hi to Bob

Was here a couple of days ago. Came and hung out with my friends and played pool. Had great conversation with great people. Chill atmosphere, jukebox is Live. Pool tables, and darts. Customary bar with awesome people in charge of it. Great price for brew any day of the week. Try it for yourself.

cold beer, friendly people, 2 pool tables and a patio to hang out, great bartenders. I was there last Saturday with a group of friends and we had a blast.
they had five band’s and a barbecue.

Really cool little dive bar. The GF doesn’t like the lack of hard liquor, but she can drink beer if she’s going to hang with us. Friendly bartender. Lots of regulars that will tell you all about Long Beach. Try it!

small cozy bar pretty cool cheap drinks. beer only

Chill place lay back people here, beer it’s cheap here n no one started anything with you.

Good cheap beer and cider on tap. No hard booze. Has outdoor patio where they were serving free chili dogs (but didn’t try one). Bartender was cool older lady has been working here for over 15 years. Remembers the good old days. Bunch of local regulars. Interesting neighborhood — but I don’t think i would want to be out here after dark.

Best dive bar in Long Beach — where everyone is cool and laid back. And Free pool on Tuesday and Wednesdays — Schooner of beer cost $ 4.50 to $ 5 In the back is a large yard to chill with friends and a Taco guy is cooking food for $ 1 a taco. Plus they have a iTunes box so you can play any song and no one will say a word about your choices.

Very chill spot to drink and socialize with people. You can play what ever kind of music you desire on the jukebox. No one bitches and complains here.

Go here once in a while with my friends. We have a good time and bar tender really nice:)

Great dive bar ! A blast from the past. People are very friendly. When Patty is tending the bar, it is especially fun. She can carry on three conversations while pouring ice cold beer and not miss a beat. The scooners are actually 32 oz. and a good work out. Can’t beat the prices here. Don’t drink and drive but definately try this place.

SAY NO TO DOUGS
Hell of a shit hole. I love it. It rocks! Better then Cheers. The locals that kick it in there are pretty kick ass people. $ 6 dollar pitcher… really? Yea.
This place rocks if your down to earth and chill. If your not either of those… go the sand bar down the street that is filled with a bunch of lame-​wads.

I use to love this place a lot. Right when i turned 21 this was my spot. Straight dive bar where everyone is cool and cheap drinks. Although there were gangsters and tweakers around. But nobodys anybody. Too bad i heard it was taken over by hipsters.

I am breaking my radio silence for this amazing, incredible, rundown, shack of a bar.
You know THOSE days (think more ‘those’ in italics). The kind of days where say… you have to call 911 for someone who passed out at work and was non responsive for a couple minutes. Yeah. It was a shitastic day. I mentioned as we were closing up, to no one in particular, that today needed to end with either beer or chocolate. My guardian angel, otherwise known as my boss, heard me. We’re both thankful he did.
I’m not a local. Not even close. Before I got a job in Signal Hill I would not have been able to tell you it existed, much less where it was on a map. Same boat for my boss. Still, we drove with faith in our hearts and beer on our mind. We drove for what seemed like forever (about four minutes) when we finally saw a bar. Closed. Just before we gave up hope we looked across the street and both were struck by the sheer awe of PBS. It was just… just…perfect. Wooden. Old. Next to a Chinese takeout window. Could you ask for more?
I can’t add much to what other said. It is the closest bar to Cheers (in feeling, not décor) that I have ever entered. It was the bartender’s birthday (also, other than myself the only chick in the place). She was ‘happy’ and everyone was really nice. My boss helped her bring in a keg and one of the locals bought us both beers. It’s just one of those kinds of places.
When we were leaving, the boss and I commented to each other that it’s the perfect dive bar. A bar we both thought extinct because of the ‘hipsters in dive bars’ trend. Nay, the spirit of the dive bar is healthy and alive in this gem in the south bay.

Where else can you get a schooner of beer for the cost of a Vente Latte? No where, that’s the answer. PBS Pub is a total neighborhood bar. The average age is about 50, but you still will see a strong contingent of 30 somethings. The mix is so eclectic that you won’t even believe it. Catch a sports game in their main hall, or watch it outside on their patio. It’s always free and it’s always Wrigley locals.

My friends are regulars here. This place has a pretty mixed and unique crowd. The bar is old as shit and mostly wooden. You can drink a schooner and eat peanuts. Good place to watch the game or play pool. I prefer to get drunk here in the middle of the day.

When I used to drink in there when I worked in the oil fields (a co-​worker named Half bubble lived in the motel near there) there was a dog that was a part owner of the bar and if he jumped up on the stool next to you he would buy you a beer.
They used to have great pickled eggs.
Doesn’t sound like it’s changed much Sam

This here is a small shack of a pub with a pool table, rustic décor, an outdoor seating area in the back catering to the nicotine addict, shredded wood on the floor, and a dead bighorn hanging on the wall. It’s a classic dive that’s kept clean. The lady behind the bar is as nice as they come. There are historic photos of Long Beach stapled above the bar. The regulars include women who’ll kick your ass at pool. The digital juke box has a good blend of 70’s and 80’s rock (including Triumph), among some other stuff that never gets played. They serve 22 oz beers and 32 oz schooners that they’ll fill with the typical domestic swill or Stella, Guinness, Sam Adams, and a couple others that escape me. Bottom line, if drunken locals with a likely history of meth addiction make you nervous, I wouldn’t recommend this place. If you like dive bars and are socially versatile/​adventurous, you’ll probably love it.
