About the Business
Baby Gee Bar has had many reasons to celebrate—they’ve been recognized not just once but twice by the coveted and prestigious Spirited Awards while co-owner and lead bar maestro Gianna Johns scored recognition from the respected Star Chefs earlier this year—but when it comes down to it, they’re a Long Beach bar through and through.
“It is beyond humbling to read about us getting these recognitions but the realty is that someone from L.A. reading that very same thing? It isn’t going to convince them to drive to our bar on a Wednesday night," said co-owner Daniel Flores. "We’re doing this for Long Beach. Long Beach is our patronage. Everyone is always welcomes—but Long Beach is where the heart and home is for us.”
Daniel’s words ring true on a variety of levels—there’s been a nod to the Dirtbags, which Daniel has happily become a regular attendee at Blair Field, they've used old-school enamel mugs from the late 1960s showing off Long Beach history, they've been involved in continual local events...
Baby Gee Bar is a gem, yes—but a goddamned Long Beach gem.
