The Attic is a Southern-inspired restaurant and bar in a converted Craftsman bungalow on East Broadway in Long Beach’s Belmont Heights neighborhood. Locals and visitors come for its playful takes on comfort food, a strong cocktail list, and the relaxed feel of eating inside an old house.
The building keeps much of its residential character, with a wraparound front porch, wood details, and small dining rooms that feel more like a friend’s home than a commercial space. The patio fills quickly on warm evenings and weekend mornings. The kitchen leans into Southern staples with creative twists. Chicken and waffles, rich mac and cheese, and shareable fried starters are popular picks, along with a weekend brunch menu. The bar pairs the food with classic and house cocktails, including brunch favorites. Menus change over time, so check current offerings before you go.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend brunch is the busiest time, and waits for patio tables can be long. Arrive early, or visit on a weekday afternoon for a quieter meal. Confirm hours and reservation options directly with the restaurant, since schedules can change. Street parking along Broadway and nearby residential blocks is limited at peak times, so allow extra time or use a rideshare. Afterward, walk a few blocks to the vintage shops on Retro Row along 4th Street. You can also head south to Bixby Park and the beach, or continue east to the shops and bars of Belmont Shore on 2nd Street.
