Long Beach & San Pedro
If you like your cocktails with a sidecar of history, the main bar on the Queen Mary is the place to be. The ocean liner's one-time 1st-class lounge still has art-deco furniture, art and finishings. Slink into a Singapore sling or a dark and stormy, or a curated selection of beers, wines and classic bar snacks.
There's karaoke on Friday nights, which could be good or bad depending on your perspective, and live entertainment on Saturday nights. Self-parking is $8 with validation.
