Roxanne'sC+

1115 E Wardlow Rd, Long Beach, CA 90807 · Restaurant, Bar, Bar & grill · California Heights

Lively cocktail-focused bar with karaoke and a hidden speakeasy vibe; great for drinks and events, food can be hit-or-miss and service consistency varies.

Why this grade

Roxanne's delivers solid neighborhood bar appeal with excellent design touches, strong destination appeal for karaoke and the speakeasy, and loyal regular clientele. However, bar-forward food quality shows variability across dishes and execution becomes uneven during events and peak service, preventing a higher grade. Best experienced for cocktails and atmosphere rather than as a primary dining destination.

The full picture

Roxanne's is a neighborhood bar that feels both playful and polished, with karaoke nights, a patio for breezy hangs, and a tucked-away speakeasy that regulars love. Expect a lively, social energy and bartenders who often keep the night moving. One guest put it simply: the drinks were spot on, and the room has a fun, nostalgic touch. The cooking leans bar-forward and familiar—think wings, yuca, burgers, quesadillas—punctuated by Latin accents like tamarind barbecue. It suits casual nights out, watch parties, and pre- or post-event meetups. Quality runs solid on staples like wings and happy hour bites, while mains such as fajitas and burgers can be uneven on busy nights. Families can make it work early evening: kids may gravitate to sliders, quesadillas, and burgers. The atmosphere gets louder as the night goes on, and there is no dedicated kids menu mentioned. For quiet family dinners, consider off-peak hours or the patio.
