The Stave
A "Stave" are the individual oak slats a cooper uses to craft the sides of wine and beer barrels. The Stave on the Promenade in Downtown Long Beach pays homage to these vessels by offering one of the most extensive whiskey selections in town. The indoor/outdoor upscale destination with its 60-foot angled wood bar features an array of spirits, wines and craft beer paired with snacks, cheese and charcuterie. Definitely the go-to place to imbibe fine spirits and do some small-plate grazing.

Navy Proof
Located in The Westin Hotel in downtown Long Beach, this restaurant's namesake pays homage to the city's military history when sailors would come from near and far. The term, "Navy Proof," was coined by peacoat wearing men in the 1700s who were serving her majesty in the British Royal Navy and refers to the daily rum rations they were allotted. To ensure their rum had not been watered down, the "proof" and truth would reveal itself when the liquor was poured on gun powder and ignited. You don't have to go to such extremes at this modern-day watering hole which offers handcrafted cocktails and a savory menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night with small plate pairings coupled with wine, craft beer or a signature cocktail.
