Pine Ave, Memorial Heights

The stretch of Pine from Ocean Blvd to 4th st has many nice restaurants and bars and is the focal point for activity in the area. Along this 4 block stretch and some of the side streets you can choose from dozens of really nice restaurants and bars. Definitely a place to go if you are in the area. Also close to the LB convention center, aquarium and other LB attractions.

Pine is conveniently close to Long Beach Blvd, without succumbing to the extra traffic and sheer mass of people that sometimes descend on that street. A great section of town for restaurants and pubs. Avoid the Dueling Piano Bar and try out the Auld Dubliner. A great place to wander with friends when you're looking for a good evening.

If Long Beach Boulevard is the heart of the city, then Pine Avenue south is definitely the nerve center. Clubs, restaurants and retail options abound in the city's ever evolving vacation and night life hot spot! Private and public gyms, a Wal-mart, two cinema multiplexes, new condo estates, countless gourmet and mid level dining options all together on a relatively small street make for tight traffic most nights... but that just adds to the 'strip' atmosphere. Major banks and deluxe hotels (Hyatt, Hilton etc.) dot the intersection of Ocean Blvd. and the surrounding streets, while the end of the road culminates in a multitude of attractions including even more nightclubs, dinner cruises, the Long beach Convention center, Shoreline Village, Light House Park, a ferris wheel and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Pine Ave South IS the quintessential center of downtown Long Beach.
