Angel's Share Verified listing

Angel’s Share was one of the quickest turnovers we’ve seen in Long Beach restaurant history. In the span of about a month, owner Jack Walls transformed the former Tap House space into his whiskey lounge and beer bar. The space has certainly had its ups and downs.

But for Jack, with Chef Josh Cicchetti (formerly of Shady Grove Foods) at the helm and bar lead Rachel Zimmerman, he is understanding that adapting and pivoting are essential parts of the long-term game.

“We’re discovering that there is a balance between the high-end and the accessible,” Jack said. “Our chicken wings? They’ve been one of our best sellers. Our bone-in tomahawk? It was so popular on Thursdays that we also made it a weekend special.”
