The Brit

About this place The Brit

The Brit on East Anaheim Street offers Long Beach's queer community a neighbourhood pub option slightly removed from the Broadway Corridor's concentrated bar scene. The British-themed pub format — accessible, food-friendly, less nightclub-oriented — serves the surrounding residential neighbourhood as a genuinely community-rooted venue. The Anaheim Street location draws from the East Long Beach neighbourhood and serves as a reminder that Long Beach's LGBTQ+ community extends well beyond the Broadway strip. The venue is queer-friendly rather than exclusively gay, drawing a mixed crowd that reflects the diversity of the surrounding neighbourhood. For visitors based in the eastern part of Long Beach, or those looking for a lower-key alternative to the Broadway Corridor, The Brit provides the neighbourhood pub option.
