Have You Been to Long Beach’s Luxurious Sky Room?

Ask a longtime Long Beach local about the Sky Room, and chances are, they’ll have a memory tied to it. For nearly a century, it’s been more than just a restaurant. It’s been a symbol of the city’s aspirations, resilience, and celebration. From the golden age of Hollywood to the rebirth of downtown, the Sky Room has quietly stood watch from the top of the Breakers.

Now, The Sky Room Is Back

After years of closure and anticipation, the Sky Room reopened in late 2024 as part of a sweeping restoration of the Breakers Hotel, now operated by Fairmont. The full project clocked in at over $150 million, and while that covered everything from ornamental ceilings to new hotel rooms, the Sky Room stands out as the crown jewel of the transformation.

Because some places matter. It’s not just another rooftop venue. It’s a touchstone—a place where people have proposed, celebrated graduations, birthdays, and anniversaries. The return is as much about the past as it is about giving today’s Long Beach a place to dress up for again.

What Is the Sky Room Serving With a $150 Million Comeback?

The vibe is elevated but not intimidating. You’ll find dishes like Wagyu Beef Wellington, lobster ravioli, and seasonal fare served beneath chandeliers and 1920s design touches. The views are as cinematic as ever, stretching across the skyline to the Pacific. It’s not a scene — it’s a setting.

Fairmont Breakers’ Halo Rooftop Lounge Provides 360° Views

For those who aren’t ready to dive into a full dinner, there’s a rooftop lounge just one floor above called Halo, where you can sip cocktails with a 360-degree view of Long Beach. You don’t need a dinner reservation for that. You just need to show up thirsty. 

Compared to Other Celebrated Places

Let’s talk about value. Compared to places like Heritage—which starts at $120 per person for a tasting menu and can easily run closer to $200 with drinks and tip—the Sky Room might actually be Long Beach’s most scenic bargain. You pick your plate, your pace, your moment.

The Sky Room isn’t just a restaurant reopening. It’s a familiar friend with a fresh suit—refined, confident, and right at home above the city it grew up with.

The Glizzy That Launched a Line

On a quiet stretch of Long Beach Boulevard, just past Artesia, something unexpected is happening in the parking lot of a gas station. There’s no sign, no speaker system, and no music—but there’s a line. People wait patiently beneath streetlights, watching smoke curl up from a hot griddle. At the center of it all is Glizzy Street, a family-run stand that’s turned a simple hot dog into a social phenomenon.

Launched this past summer by two teenage brothers, the stand has quickly built a loyal following and a viral footprint online. The dogs are wrapped in bacon, stacked with toppings, and sold for $5 each. The setup is modest, but the vibe is magnetic.

From Summer Idea to Local Fixture

What started in late June as a summer side hustle has fast become one of Long Beach’s most talked-about food stops. Around 5 p.m. most evenings, a small team sets up outside the American Oil station in North Long Beach. A folding table becomes a prep line. The grill heats up. And within minutes, the line forms—locals, passersby, and plenty of first-timers who heard about it online.

Not just a business. It’s a family in motion

While the twin brothers are front and center in most videos, the operation goes well beyond just the two of them. Behind the table, you might spot a sister handling the grill or another brother moving supplies. The roles shift, but the rhythm stays the same: cook, serve, reset. It’s fast, friendly, and refreshingly no-frills.

Going Viral Without Trying

There was no launch party, no press release, and no marketing team. Just a video—twins working a grill, serving up dogs, and taking orders with quiet confidence. The clip caught fire. Then came more. People started sharing, then showing up.

Local blogs took notice. Then Eater LA, FOX 11, the Long Beach Post, and even BET. But the real traction started with customers. People weren’t just curious—they were impressed. The food was good. The price was fair. And the story—a couple of teens building something from scratch, stuck.

They’re still coming. Some drive in from Los Angeles. Others from Riverside or Orange County. A few just pull in for gas and leave with dinner.

What Makes Glizzy Street Special

The food is solid—crispy bacon, steamed buns, and house-made sauces—but that’s not the whole draw. There’s something quietly special about Glizzy Street. No flash, no gimmicks. Just young people working hard, side by side, in their own neighborhood.

There’s no need to dress it up. They’re not trying to be a pop-up or a brand or a trend. They’re just showing up every night, doing it well, and letting the results speak for themselves. Even now, with the school year underway, the stand opens after 5 p.m.—a quiet reminder that this isn’t a full-time business. It’s a post-homework hustle.
