So you've been going casual the last few times you've gone out to enjoy the Long Beach nightlife. Try something completely different by dressing up and experiencing a first-class treatment when you make the Sky Room your destination for the evening. You will feel like you are in a Hollywood movie the moment you step into this classic nightlife venue. Enjoy pre-dinner cocktails and appetizers before your main entree.
