Property Description

An Iconic Long Beach Venue Awaits Its Next Chapter Welcome to 1253 E 4th Street — a rare commercial opportunity in the heart of Long Beach's electrifying 4th Street Corridor, one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving entertainment districts in Southern California. Built in 1922, this storied 3,000 sq ft Restaurant/Tavern building sits on a 4,008 sq ft lot and carries over a century of character, community, and culture within its walls. Zoned LBCNR (Long Beach Commercial Neighborhood Retail), the property is purpose-built for food, beverage, and entertainment use. A dedicated live music stage sets this space apart from anything else on the market, purpose-built for performance and the kind of programming that turns a neighborhood into a destination. Whether you're envisioning a craft cocktail bar, a live music lounge, a creative food and beverage concept, or a hybrid entertainment venue, the infrastructure is here and the neighborhood is ready. 4th Street is having its moment. Surrounded by an influx of independent restaurants, boutique retailers, and a growing residential base, this corridor is drawing the kind of foot traffic and community investment that makes operators and investors take notice. With a walkability score of 95/100 and 11% home appreciation in the surrounding area over the last two years, the fundamentals couldn't be stronger. The timing to plant your flag here has never been better. Last sold in 1986 and family-held ever since, this is a generational asset finally coming to market. A Truly Unique Offering: Also available for sale is the single-family residence located at 421 Almond Street, situated directly behind the commercial property on Almond Ave. The owner strongly prefers to sell both lots to the same buyer, presenting an extraordinary opportunity to control a combined footprint in one of Long Beach's most talked-about neighborhoods. Live behind your business, expand your footprint, or hold both as a long-term investment — the possibilities this dual-lot package unlocks are virtually unmatched at this price point. Opportunities like this don't come back around.
