The Wolf is coming - Artsy craft cocktail lounge opening in the Wrigley neighborhood of Long Beach
Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2023 -- The Wicked Wolf, a new bohemian cocktail lounge, will open its doors on April 26, 2023, at 2332 Pacific Ave, Long Beach 90806, in the Wrigley neighborhood.
Artists and real estate investors Thea Mercouffer and George Wolfe teamed up with General Manager Christian Warren, co-owner of the Melody Bar near LAX, to create a unique cocktail lounge that will also function as an artistic hub for the community of Wrigley and the greater Long Beach area. “We fell in love with the small building and the wonderful neighborhood, one of the most diverse in the country,” says Mercouffer, who spearheaded the remodel and concept of the lounge. “We wanted to do something special that spoke to the great sense of pride and belonging that grounds everyone we encountered here.”
The charming cocktail lounge is designed as a romantic living room in an enchanted forest. Furnished with comfortable updated Victorian sofas and augmented by a smattering of vintage décor elements, the intimate space is ideal for a night out with friends or a date, and can also be transformed to accommodate performances, in-the-round events, community gatherings or private parties.
For the drinks, Warren created an approachable menu that is strong in classics while wonderfully incorporating new techniques and original concoctions. “Our company’s culture is one of craftsmanship, so we’re making delicious alcohol-forward drinks in a very efficient and service-oriented manner.” Adds Wolfe: “We’ve put an equal amount of thought and effort into creating a very special non-alcoholic cocktail menu.”
“The Wicked Wolf brings an entirely new dynamic to Wrigley. It’s a one-of-a-kind lounge that will certainly be very popular with Wrigley residents, and a vibrant destination bar that will attract people from all over Long Beach to its unique atmosphere. The Wrigley Association is thrilled to have The Wicked Wolf in our neighborhood, and we look forward to hosting many events there for years to come,” said Justin Simon, Wrigley Association Vice President.
The ribbon cutting, attended by local officials, will take place on April 26, 2023, between 6:00-7:30 pm, after which doors will open to the public.
