The Stache Bar filled what was an empty niche in Long Beach: a place which harbored the art of craft cocktails and beer but simultaneously exuded our city’s kickback vibe—in other words a Seven Grand or Noble Experiment without all the pretense. Since opening, Bartender Nate Edgecomb’s has become a familiar face to the denizens of Stache, and their love for him has scored Edgecomb the opportunity to be named the country’s Most Appreciated Bartender.
