Joe Jost's

Since 1924, Joe Jost's has been serving Long Beach frosty beers and a selection of deli items. There's nothing like having more than a century of roots to keep tavern prices so cheap, you might think you’ve time-traveled. Arguably the most famous item on their menu, their pickled eggs have a cult-like following throughout Southern California. You might get some gruff from the older regulars, but it's an otherwise friendly, local spot. With the largest pour of beer still under $9 and sandwiches under $4, some were worried by the family's announcement to hand over the keys late last year. Luckily, the new owner, former employee Jon Sweeney, doesn't want to change anything.
