Ambitious Ales - Long Beach, California

I love there selection of light & IPA beers. I believe I got the light ipa name Hamburger! Wasn’t crowded on the week day. Great place to relax and even work.

The pizza was amazing I believe it was the sweet and spicy pizza?! But really good! 10/10

This place is amazing! One of the best I've been to! But honestly it's not 100% for the ales, but the atmosphere. Trigger warning: if you don't believe furry family deserves to dine with their human counterparts then woof off and meow you later (ok, that was cringe but I don't care).

Beer: 9/10
There are some decent options here! And they admitted to not having what I liked as an option, but I was pleased none the less with the brilliant bar tender who gave me generous samples. She was so sweet and knowledgeable, I would come back again and again just to have her take care of me. I'm sorry I don't have her name! I do hope they add a little bit of everything one day, but honestly I am not that picky and I was able to enjoy my beer regardless.

Service: 10/10
Just superb! Definitely the best part about this place is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I don't own a pooch but I believe dog owners are some of the best people out there! Some of you are still Karen's and Kevin's, but most of you are just so loving! So it's no wonder the place was so full of great energy. And not only is the facility dog friendly but it's family friendly too. They have a beer garden, which is just fancy for outside seating, but kids were back there running around and being their crazy selves. I am a single mom so I loved it! No one cares or rolled their eyes at the "unruly" kids and just minded their own business. I am in love with how the facility catered to the large bday party and made it a great evening for them and all the other patrons!

Atmosphere: 10/10
I said it several times and I'll say it again, so warm and welcoming. Everything is clean, visually appealing, the night time ambiance with the stringed lights is all I ever wanted

Food: 8/10
Not sure if the Korean taco spot is part of the company or it's own entity but it's there! The tacos were fire but the kimchi? Hard pass. $7/tiny jar and it's not that great. Not sure if it's their jarring practice or if it's their recipe but it was the worst kimchi I ever ate (I love that stuff), it was extremely acidic and had a flavor I couldn't put my finger on and definitely wasn't gonna use my tongue to find out but those tacos I will be back for. They had the best sweet and Smokey flavor, the beef and chicken were both cooked to perfection and the toppings were fresh. I mean.. it doesn't get better than tacos and beer!

Overall I definitely recommend this place to any fellow hop lover who wants to drink around amazing energy and be provided with phenomenal service.

Family and pup friendly brewary with a good selection. Large back patio area. Local pizza spot next door will bring your order and weekends there are on site food vendors. The Guatemalan Blond Coffee brew was amazing as well as the Fleurs.

Another great brewery for Long Beach. Great beer and a great space. The outdoor patio area is nice on warm nights.

No food, but there is a pizza place nextdoor. Seemed like everybody had a pizza when I was there.

Great beer! They always have a good food pop up and the backyard is a great space

Supporting local business. Para sayo sour blond with calamansi is refreshing and crisp.

Came back to Ambitious for the Smoked and salt pop up, both beer and bbq didn't disappoint. I do wish that they would bring the para sayo beer back though.

Great variety and great service every time! Halo halo squishies are where it’s at! The photos are from a smoked and salted bbq pop up, if you have the chance to go on a day they’re there, DO IT!

Cool spot, love the simple interior. A solid selection of beers. Their Coffee Blonde, Central Perk, is a must try.
