Nightmare 8/14/2010

Went to Legends, food was ok. Paid by card--noticed next day was charged for food we didn't order. So........ called first thing Monday, took name said a manager would call back. Called Tuesday afternoon, took name, said a manager would call back. Called Tuesday evening, took name, said a manager would call me back. Called Thursday, took name, said a manager would call me back. Called Saturday afternoon, said manager on today could not help me and I need to call back on Monday. What a bad way to run a business. It wasn't that much of an overcharge and I would have been happy to get a gift certificate and gone back to the restaurant. But, after being blown off 5 times, I don't think I will ever go back there. more

Please Read This Before Going To Legends 1/12/2009

First off I'd like everyone to know I don't write reviews for nothing, but if this stops just one person from going or returning it will make me happy. This is my story of ""Legends Sports Bar"" Pros: good area Cons: Food - Pricing - Staff - more

Fun bar! 1/7/2009

This is my favorite bar in belmont shore. Fun for watching sports and their burgers are good too. I have only been a few times because I just moved to the area but this place and murphy's Pub are the best for watching NFL. Pros: sports Cons: over packed sometimes more

Misstatement on Pouring Spouts 7/4/2008

Not much of a Bartender if you can't tell the difference between a common pouring spout and one that monitors or controls pouring. We always appreciate input from patrons whether it is favorable or not, but would at least appreciate being accurate in your comments. Pros: Great selection of food, friendly staff, best tv sports viewing around. Cons: Service can be slower on big games more

SWEET SUBS and TASTY GERMAN Beer to pour away the Laker Loss ;( 6/18/2008

I love this place. It was quite depressing to watch the Lakers get pounded on by the Celtics in Game 6, but the food and the beer helped the misery go away. I love this joint, great service, amazing selection of beers and awesome food. Pros: Awesome BEER, Lots of High Quality TV's Cons: Took along time to get seated because of the big Laker game more

BIG BROTHER 6/17/2008

I went into Legends this past Sunday for the Laker game, and noticed something weird about the pour spouts on there bottles, I asked the bartender to see it, and he showed me what is a microchip pour spout to regulate there pours, I being a local bartender couldn't help but laugh. Big Brother can stay out of my bar. As a seasoned bartender I can assure you that occassionally topping off a drink for a good customer only maximizes profits. Patrons stay longer, spend more & come back. If a certain bartender is over pouring to attempt to maximize his or her tips, the other bartenders WILL report it because it puts them in the position of having to explain why they too have to ask the manager for another bottle of brand X booze even though they have only sold a minimal amount from the last bottle. Customers will quickly avoid bars that use this technology, bartenders will go elsewhere & naive owners who over invested in this mistrustful technology will go bankrupt trying to pay for it. Why would I want to work for someone who ? assumes ? I?m untrustworthy? more

Go For the Games, Not the Food! 6/3/2008

The rebulit Legends may be refreshingly new, but their food offerings are old and uninspired. Unfortunately our outing on 2nd Street was spoiled by slow service, dreadful food and surprisingly flat beer. Pros: People watching; abundent TV screens; Lucille's Barbeque is close by. Cons: Dreadful food; unattentive if not poor wait staff more

Electricity throughout... 4/22/2008

I want you to know that going to a busy bar can be a little trying. Yes it gets hot, yes it may take a little while to get a drink. I read all these reviews on here and it breaks my heart that people are so impatient. Legends has been a landmark in Los Angeles/Long Beach since 1979. When you go in there and are watching a game with almost three hundred other people, you can almost expect certain things. It isn't a fine dining restaurant here folks, it's a SPORTS BAR! A busy one at that. When I go to a sporting event, (Laker/Dodger/King game) I know there are going to be crowds and long lines... Par for the course. I just wish people would keep in mind that Legends has and always will be about atmosphere. Anyone who has ever been to a sporting event during the playoffs knows that electricity that flows through the place. That's why Legends is what it is. It's a place local southern Californians can congregate and feel a sense of camaraderie. The oohs and aahs are enough to keep me coming back again and again. If it doesn't work out for you the first time, try it again. I promise you'll change your mind. The place wouldn't have made since 1979 if it weren't doing something right. The unfortunate fact remains that people will always be quicker to gripe than they will be to compliment anything. That said, I'll see you all down at the GREATEST sports bar in Los Angeles! Pros: The next best thing aside from actually being at the big game... Cons: Gets a little cramped, but then again, so do the stadiums/arenas we all love so much! more

I thought you had to be 21 to get into a bar? 4/15/2008

One word: Gross. Pros: lots of tv's Cons: gross people, really hot inside, no wait staff for bar tables more

Legends?.. More like Nightmares! 4/15/2008

I'm not one to write reviews but my experience at Legends was so nasty I want everyone to know. Rude service, even ruder bouncers and the rudest manager I have ever met in my entire life... and trust me, I've been to plenty of Hollywood bars. I have an idea... how about me and 20 friends give you our money so that you can tell us that you don't care! Hmm... whatever happened to Great service... hech, i'd even settle for GOOD service All in all, Legends should be renamed... Nightmares. Oh... lastly... i saw a nasty-ass cooca rocha in the kitchen on my way to the bathroom... ech! Pros: Location Cons: everything more

Disgusting 4/15/2008

Hey! If you like rude bouncers/managers, 19 year olds, and the smells of a frat house, this bar is for you! We went with an open mind and left with a heavy heart. This place was one of the worst bars ever... oh, but at least it was really crowded and sweaty with no A/C! Thanks for making Long Beach a place I never want to come back to, Legends!!!!! Pros: Um.... Cons: mean staff, gross patrons, smelly more

Trash 4/15/2008

I went to ""Legends"" this past weekend for the first time and was not happy. There's plenty of other bars in Long Beach that is way better then this. Pros: if you want trashy people and bad service then go to legends Cons: everything more

Horrible Guest Service / Poor Management 4/14/2008

We had a large group of friends get together for someone's birthday this past Saturday night. About 25 of us were inside and at one point a few of us stepped outside to get fresh air (it gets really stuffy in there) and some to smoke. The bouncer gave us a nod as we stepped out - and he saw us do so. Cons: BAD SERVICE more

Glad to see you are back!! 4/7/2008

Me and my girlfriends used to enjoy stopping in at Legends in the early 90's. So glad you came back. Kudos for such a great website and Kevin has done a great job in representing! I'll have to go and get a drink from him! more

excited 3/28/2008

wow i didn't know legends re opened the doors, i was just searching through the website trying to figure out where i was going to watch some college hoops and i came across legends on here. haven't been back since the fire but after watching the great video on your website i can say that me and my roommates are very fired up ""no pun intended"" to head back to 2nd street, more important legends! there really isn't a great sports bar in long beach, legends was always a great place. thanks for re opening can't wait to check out the new legends. more

Best Drinking Spot on Second Street 3/11/2008

I have to say that generally the second street scene is a little cramped and dirty.......but Legends was a great place to relax......watch the game.....drink (obviously)......and eat some good food. It s bar .......so dont expect too much out of the food......but the shrimp tacos were to DIE for......and the portions are huge. I will definitely be back. Pros: tons of TV's, good shrimp tacos, room to move (VS. most other 2nd st. holes in the wall) Cons: bar area is kind of small more

fire 6/20/2005

Unfortunately today Legends burned completely to the ground. The other reviewers had a some good points. The food wasn't the best but if you were a regular you're going to miss the place. The waitresses were great and always had time to sit and ask how your day was. You went for the atmosphere and some drinks not for the food. A true loss for Belmont Shore. more

""Whatever happened to"" Legends 7/19/2003

Legends used to be a great place to go to grab a brew, a sandwich or burger, and watch some games. But it just hasn't been the same since the fire: Waitresses have more attitude, food's not quite as good. Maybe I'm just getting older ... Pros: Many TV screens, Wings Cons: Inconsistent service more
