Tucked just blocks from the boardwalk, Bright Eye Beer Company is Long Beach’s breezy local gem, where small-batch brews and laid-back vibes collide. Whether you're coming in sandy-footed post-surf or rounding out your weekend stroll, this casual brewery captures the spirit of Long Beach with community warmth and coastal flair.

The beer list is both creative and approachable, with rotating taps that cater to every palate. Start with the “Boardwalk Blonde,” a crisp and crushable ale that’s perfect for beach weather. For those who like a little punch, the “Good Vibes IPA” delivers juicy hop notes with a balanced bitterness. Sours, stouts, and seasonal brews also make appearances, keeping things exciting for repeat visitors.

While Bright Eye doesn’t operate a full kitchen, it partners with local food trucks and pop-ups that serve up everything from artisanal grilled cheese to Korean BBQ tacos. On many nights, the food options are just as memorable as the beer—so check their schedule to see what’s cooking.

The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, with a welcoming taproom featuring high ceilings, communal tables, and colorful surf-inspired decor. There's often live music or trivia nights, giving it that “hang with friends” energy that keeps locals coming back. It's dog-friendly, family-friendly, and all about good company and great brews.

Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just need a chill spot after a beach day, Bright Eye Beer Company is a must-visit in Long Beach. Pro tip: grab a crowler to-go and enjoy it with sunset views along the shore.
