Why go
EJ Malloy's is a practical Long Beach pick for a casual, flexible meal rather than a destination dinner. Booking looks easy, and the strongest case is convenience: choose it for relaxed group plans, solo dining, or a later-leaning neighborhood stop, but compare elsewhere if cuisine focus or special-occasion polish matters.
About EJ Malloy's
EJ Malloy's is a casual option in Long Beach with hours that run from 11:30 AM to 10 PM Monday through Friday and from 9 AM to 10 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Plan around it as an informal Long Beach stop rather than assuming a specific cuisine, price point, menu format, or reservation setup.
The practical appeal is direct: the dress code is casual, and the hours give it useful daytime and evening coverage. For a broader scan of the city, use our full Long Beach restaurants guide, then narrow by how much structure the night needs.
Use it for an easy Long Beach night, not a high-stakes booking
The smart move is to treat EJ Malloy's as a casual Long Beach option rather than a place to build an entire evening around without checking details first. If pricing, cuisine, signature dishes, seating, or booking policy matters to the plan, contact the venue directly before you go.
Choose it when the basics are enough: Long Beach, casual dress, and broad daily hours. If the meal needs a sharper identity, compare against Lima Cebichería Peruana, Taboon Mediterranean, or Blackbird Pizza Shop before deciding.
How to time the visit
For a first visit, plan around the hours. EJ Malloy's is open 11:30 AM to 10 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM to 10 PM on Saturday and Sunday. That makes weekday daytime, evening, and weekend morning-to-evening visits possible, but any specific meal service, menu availability, seating setup, or group accommodation should be checked directly before you go.
For planning around the rest of the city, pair it with our full Long Beach bars guide or compare it with other dining in Long Beach. The right use case is simple: choose EJ Malloy's when the basics fit your plan, and cross-shop when the meal itself needs more defined information.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
EJ Malloy's reads like a classic working-neighborhood bar where the décor and the people carry the personality. The room is defined by worn-in stools, booth seating and bartenders who keep the pours honest; there’s little pretense and no theatrical pivot between day and night. Regulars know each other by name, and the place functions as a steady local institution rather than a rotating concept. The overall tone is unpolished and familiar—comforting for people who value consistency and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere over trend-driven design.
Best For
This is a go-to spot for low-key evenings and dependable drinks rather than destination dining. It suits after-work stops, solo visits when you want a friendly bar stool, and casual meetups with friends who appreciate straightforward pours and fried food. The setting is less about special occasions and more about routine: a place you can visit any night of the week and expect the same honest service and atmosphere. Groups that want a relaxed, familiar bar experience will find it welcoming and reliable.
Ordering Tips
The unwritten regulars’ menu is short and direct: think a draft beer at a fair price and something fried — staples that keep the room humming. Signature items like fish and chips and Buffalo wings fit the straightforward bar menu you should lean on. If you want to blend in quickly, ask the bartender for the regulars’ picks; expect staff to point you toward a reliable booth or bar stool. Don’t come looking for a rotating cocktail list — this is a place for familiar favorites and steady pours.

Restaurant context
How EJ Malloy's compares in Long Beach
EJ Malloy's is the easiest recommendation when the priority is low-pressure logistics. Compared with Knolls Restaurant, it reads as more casual and flexible; choose Knolls when the group wants a more intentional sit-down plan, and choose EJ Malloy's when timing and ease matter more than a defined dining agenda.
For a clearer cuisine call, Lima Cebichería Peruana and Taboon Mediterranean are stronger cross-shops because their names point to a specific food direction. EJ Malloy's is the safer fallback for mixed groups that have not agreed on a format; Lima is the better bet when Peruvian food is the point, while Taboon is the cleaner choice for a Mediterranean meal.
Alli Kaphiy is another Long Beach alternative to consider when the plan needs a different atmosphere, while Blackbird Pizza Shop is the simpler consensus option if pizza solves the group decision. For value, EJ Malloy's competes on ease rather than verified pricing; for experience quality, the more cuisine-specific peers give diners a clearer reason to choose them.
