Pine Avenue has metered street parking and several public lots within a 5-minute walk. Long Beach is also Uber/Lyft friendly and the Metro Blue Line stops a few blocks away. We strongly recommend not driving — you're going to a pub crawl.
Almost always, yes. We cap the cocktail tier at 75 tickets per event so the bars can prep enough specialty cocktails. Once it's gone you can still grab GA — but the complimentary drink slot won't come back.
