About the Business

A Traffic Circle legend, Blondie’s—what many would venture to say is the liquor-driven sibling of The Annex across Lakewood Boulevard—has long been one of the more stable if not outright safe-bet dives of Long Beach (and not to its lack of character).

It’s bright red fluorescent sign is not only one of the coolest in the city but sits above a comfortable, clean patio guarded by a bouncer that keeps the Law of the Dive in order so as to only witness fights migrate elsewhere.

In fact, if anything, Blondie’s stands out as the anti-dive dive, a space that has survived in its current iteration for nearly three decades, where Barbara is still as kind as ever, and a place that will occasionally take to Instagram depending on the who the new bartender is.
