The Pike Bar & Grill is both a Long Beach icon and legend, serving up what many consider the best fish and chips in the city along with a vibrant atmosphere that is throughly unique to its space.
Given the popularity of its 4th Street location, it was only natural that Chris Reece–former drummer for punk band Social Distortion and owner of both Pikes–was looking to expand. What surprised many, however, was that the expansion was not made here in Long Beach, but in Los Alamitos, in the middle of a nondescript strip mall, where his new location unlocked its doors for a soft opening on Monday.
“Drive by it a hundred times and you wouldn’t know it was there,” Reece said. “But I love it.

After a run of 36 years in Long Beach, the Fish Tale seafood restaurant will close Aug. 1.
“It’s time to close. We found a great operator to take it over,†said co-owner Jerry Bloeser, who runs the popular fish tank-themed restaurant in East Long Beach’s Los Altos neighborhood with his brother, John Bloeser.
Jerry, 71, and John, 74, also run a floor-covering business. The younger brother said in an interview that they had grown overburdened by managing all of their business interests at their ages.
“That’s very sad news. We’ve heard so many great things about this place. And this is our first time here,” said David Silviera, who was dining at the restaurant for the first time with his wife, Penny Silviera, on Friday.
“And this chowder is spectacular,” Penny Silviera said.
Brent Brakebill, owner of Long Beach Irish pub and restaurant E.J. Malloy’s, said he has signed a 10-year lease for the building with the Bloeser brothers, who own the building at 5506 E. Britton Drive.
