Ok, back from my walk. Here's what I saw peering into the window of Beaches lower bar to read the sign on the table. Happy Hour Appetizers 5pm-9pm (which implies to me that Happy Hour booze is the same timeframe).
Going from memory here, but appetizers were such things as empanadas (chicken, steak, shrimp), tacos (same fillings plus also fish & veggies), burgers (meat or veggie), nachos (w/ extras like beef or chicken), chicken caesar salad, and some other food items I can't remember. Prices were $4.95-$6.50. Probably the other side of the sign (not visible from window) had the drinkies pricing.
The restaurant upstairs has a regular menu (pastas, salads, lot of seafood items, etc) for those who want a 'real' meal.
Cheers.

Friday:
Dinner at Beaches - Since happy hour runs until 9pm would it be better to meet at 6 or 7. We could always meet at 6 and have a few drinks while waiting for those who will be held up in traffic.
Saturday:
Long Beach - What time should we meet up??
The Long Yard for dinner - If everyone is meeting up earlier in the day I think it would be best not to set a time for dinner -- however if someone can't make it earlier in the day I guess we should set a time for dinner. So who will be coming to Long Beach earlier in the day and who will just be coming for dinner?

I'll be at Beaches at 6pm; since I'm flying the next day & need to pack, won't be a late night for me. Here's a pic of me from Freddies a couple of years ago since some folk won't know each other/know who to look for when they come in. I look relatively the same, & I'll bring a FT luggage tag.

Looking at your list it looks like there's 3 of you (so far) for day activities on Saturday (the locals probably aren't going to do the sightseeing thing), so my recommendation would be to pick a time for dinner so if someone isn't doing the day activities they can join you for dinner at The Yard House.
Cheers.
PS - It's a great SoCal weekend so far (think of what you watch on telly & that's this weekend at the beach). Hope it's the same for you next weekend!

Got an email from wingless. She & auh2o might stop by on Friday eve. I haven't been following NBA playoffs lately, but if they're on tomorrow night & they do by chance come, auh2o will be the one avidly watching the tv screens
I emailed & called newself. Not sure which he'll make.
You still need to pick a time for Saturday at The Yard House so the locals know what time to get there.
Cheers.

Diana, sorry you can't make it. Best wishes for your mom's surgery.
Cheers.
PS - In case any of the out-of-towners are reading this, bring quarters for the meters. There's parking on the street, but also some parking structures. An underground one on Manhattan Beach Blvd (2 blocks up from Beaches); entry either via Morningside or Valley. There's also a 2-story structure, entry from Morningside (off Manhattan Beach Blvd) or 12th street. It's metered parking through 8pm.
Cheers.
