Brunch Life - Ballast Point (Alamitos Bay, CA)

Secluded on the Alamitos Bay not far from the home of the annual Long Beach Grand Prix, window shopping of Belmont Shore and skyline of downtown Long Beach is a mega bar restaurant called Ballast Point.

With refreshing ocean breezes and incredible water views, we visited the sprawling harbor side spot that holds two stories, outdoor patios with fire pits and 60+ beers on tap to enjoy while watching passing boats and gorgeous sunsets. 

Tables are seated on a first come, first served basis. No reservations accepted for parties of 25 and below. The outdoor bars are an especially great location for large groups to mingle.

The wine list was limited and not especially mature but affordable ($44-$56 per bottle). If you’re a hop fan I’d say a tasty draw is the beer on tap. Our party of 3 all opted for the wagyu beef Ballast Point burger and for me with the bacon added it did not disappoint.

Final thoughts; location, location, location. For that alone we would return.

Cheers! Mimosa Militia
