Nestled in the heart of Downtown Long Beach, ALTAR stands as a testament to history and architectural beauty. This iconic building, dating back to 1903, is the oldest standing structure in the area, offering a unique venue that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern versatility. Ideal for those looking to create a memorable event, ALTAR provides an unparalleled backdrop that allows for extensive customization, ensuring that each occasion is as unique as the people hosting it.

The venue itself is a masterpiece of preserved vintage details and carefully curated renovations. Guests are immediately captivated by the arched, painted ceilings that harken back to a bygone era, while the ornate light fixtures and sturdy columns add a touch of elegance and grandeur. These elements are a nod to the building’s storied past, providing a sense of timelessness and sophistication that enhances any event.

ALTAR’s aesthetic is further defined by its original wood floors and exposed brick walls, which contribute to an unfinished, industrial loft ambiance. The visible piping adds a modern twist to the otherwise classic surroundings, creating a perfect harmony between old and new. This distinctive blend of textures and styles not only sets ALTAR apart from other venues but also offers a versatile canvas for event planners and hosts to bring their visions to life.

In choosing ALTAR for your event, you are not just selecting a venue; you are embracing a piece of history and contributing to its ongoing story.

With its combination of historic charm and contemporary appeal, ALTAR promises an unforgettable experience that will leave a lasting impression on all who attend.
