AC is inside the Marriott. It is ever so clean and comfortable. It is casual. Parking is for a fee, but they may validate, I forgot to ask. It is mostly a bar, but there is some great food to be had there. The service is great and they get the order right the first time. They have a great bartender who can make whatever you want. They serve breakfast and dinner. All the food we had was great. We especially loved the service and will be back. read more

I love this place! Came with some friends one summer evening and it was a vibe! Came back by myself a few times. Would recommend read more

AC Bar and Lounge - Lady of the hour.. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - El Segundo, California

Ooo la la what a beautiful lounge in a far out place in a city called El Segundo. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff amazing management staff very professional knowledgeable about their menu drink menu very elegant. Went on a date with a Gentleman who was actually working construction on the street where I bank at. He picked this restaurant and I knew he was trying to impress but all this didn't matter, it was his down to earth persona his great conversation he apologized for a dirty truck even though I drove myself but that didn't matter his pride in who he was about work his kids his kindness I really liked everything I was learning about him so much that we're heading to the beach for dinner my treat this time & I look forward to it. AC Bar and Lounge definitely a date night place friends night out or even co worker's who want to hang out worth the price worth the travel and you'll be happy with your all around service experience . read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Nice hotel lobby bar with a good happy hour. We were early for a dinner date in the area, so looked around for a place to cool our heels. We saw that this place had happy hour from 5-7, and decided to give it a go. Located in the lobby of a hotel in a new development, it was pretty nice--clean and modern. There's a bar, an indoor lounge area, and a patio. We started out at the bar but then moved to one of the indoor seating areas as the patio was taken over by some kind of company shindig. I had a glass of happy hour house red, and the hubby had a pint of draft beer. Neither of us can remember what they were, but they were fine, and the price was right. They also had some food items on the Happy Hour menu, but alas, we did not partake. The bartenders were friendly and provided good service. If we're ever in need of a place to kill time again in the area, we will definitely return. read more

I found this place on yelp and decided to go, even though it was a bit late. It was mi friends birthday and she had driven from northern cali to meet up with me and have at least a drink together. We were very happily surprised on how nice and great ambiance it was! The bartender was very nice and he even placed our bottle and wine glasses at a very nice spot closest to the fireplace because it was a bit chilly but we had the best time there with the surround, yet subtle music playing in the background. I recommend this place and will definitely go again. read more

Had a wonderful time here at the AC Lounge! The food and drinks were delicious, but what really made this experience above and beyond was the friendly & attentive bartender Jessica! She really makes you feel welcomed and at home, when you're away from home which is what a good hotel should be! Thanks for the great experience Jess! Will have to be back for sure. read more

Really good drinks - decent wine selection - super fun place for a happy hour. Service is outstanding. Love the patio.

Food was poorly cooked. Salmon was overcooked and dry. Got the hamburger next and ordered it medium. It came out cold in the middle. After they cooked the hamburger to the correct temperature it was good. read more

My burger was severely burned. I couldn't care enough to send it back. Instead I leave a review and likely never dine here ever again. The bar tenders were very good though. Maybe I'll come back just to have drinks but not food anymore. It was absolutely atrocious. read more

The hotel is amazing. Very modern and beautiful. A lot of attention to detail when it comes to aesthetics. My experience at the bar wasn't great tho. Came down to enjoy a drink or two with my family. There was a Yelp check in offer for a free drink that the bartender and his manager apparently knew nothing about, so they did not honor it. Very bad start. There was only one bartender and he seemed to be in over his head. Service was very slow and he often forgot to take people's orders after asking them to wait. It took forever for him to give us our check so that we could pay and go grab dinner. Just was not a good service experience. My drink wasn't memorable either, but I'll give 2 stars for the ambiance. read more

New hotel for me, grabbed it based on a nice price. However, This is not a review of the hotel itself, rather a review of the AC Lounge which is on the first floor. Ordered off the small plate menu, the meat and cheese tray. It was very reasonable at $6 and then I ordered off the "sweets" menu! They have an amazing caramel cookie with almond macaroon. I can't have a normal cookie yet they make the macaroons in house and viola...carefully crafted with almond flour and local ingredients, delish AND gluten free!! Yum! Rob waited on me. He's got man-eyes so he missed my empty water glass several times and my empty wine glass until I flagged him down. However, since he was always close by, it was super simple to get his attention. Truth be told, I wasn't empty long and I really like using the term "man-eyes"!! Overall very good service! The menu is small yet absolutely sufficient. They have small plates, salads, larger plates and good drinks. Good service, good good...I'll be back! read more

Clean vibe, but small. I'd say it's not particularly busy with any really interesting or appealing drinks. Food isn't really that crazy but it's pretty average for bar food. Overall a decent bar that will look nice only when it's busy. Other than that a decent interior decor and neon lights? read more

Beautiful venue for a private event! We hosted a baby shower here recently, and it was pretty picture perfect. The space lends itself to such a cool and unique vibe! Huge shoutout to Annie and Zaine for helping to plan and execute all of the details perfectly. I highly recommend! read more

The bartender Jessica is the best. Keeps me coming back! What a memorable night thank you Jess for the warm hospitality.

So disappointed w/ the service here! Rude wait staff all around :/ Cute area but 0/10 vibes read more

It's been almost 2 years since I've been here and although I'm staying around the corner, I still love coming to this bar! Today was especially special meeting Zoey! She made me a watermelon margarita that absolutely knocked my socks off! It was so good, I had to do a photo shoot of her drink! Delicious! read more

AC Bar and Lounge - Zoey's Watermelon Margarita! Delicious! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - El Segundo, California

For a hotel lounge tucked in a business area, it had good vibe. The outside area has heaters and a fire pit but the service is slow. We shared the hummus which had a great curry taste to it but was small portion, and the tortilla Espanol a which was pretty tasty. The salmon was dry but the lentils it's served on top of are very tasty and helped moisten the salmon a bit. There is a happy hour but we missed it. I'm told the tomato soup and grilled cheese is pretty food - I just can't have dairy so that's out for me. read more

First time here and disappointed. 1. Not enough staff.... 2. Service here SUCKS!!!!... and if you are deciding on celebrating a bday or any event, please don't. They will not allow you to order from the bar because you are part of the party!. And that's not it, food is not all that great either. Their meat and cheese is not worth the price. Steak and veggies suppose to come with potatoes and they fail to say there were out of potatoes until we said something. read more

I have to believe the 10 previous reviews are fake. Maybe friends of people that work here (?). Food & wine is awful! Know it is hotel food. Outdoor patio/lounge is nice. Property is pet friendly so they let dogs roam free and lounge on the furniture with their owners. Also, apparently a great place to smoke pot. You can smell it in the air read more

Ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup and there was hair in it. It was so disgusting. Bartender was nice about it and removed it from the bill. But still disgusting, please raise your standards. read more

Wonderful... we had such a lovely evening! So relaxing and beautiful. Will definitely come back & make it a regular break from the day to day. read more

Drinks were good. But we had to ask for more and buss our tables. Food wasn't all that good.

I give this place five stars it's super new , hip clean and designed for the pandemic lol. It's very tranquil and beautiful. They have live music on Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday Nights. The drinks are awesome and the sliders were the best. Tim was there to greet us and was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back read more

Omg I love this place! The ambiance is great, the food is really good, the drinks are amazing, and the service is extraordinary. I had originally requested a reservation for Flora's for a larger party and unfortunately, it was booked but Bart, the manager, was incredible and set up an entire area for us at the AC bar and lounge. The fireplace was cozy and the live music was blissful. He still gave us the option to go to Flora's afterwards if we had wanted to. In addition, Ray, our server, was such a delight! He treated us like family, was super patient with our party, and is very knowledgeable on the menu items. Despite the fact that my party was late, other parties had arrived, and that we had been there for a while, he was always attentive and never rushed us out of our table. He's truly a sweetheart and maintains such a great energy. Thanks to Bart and Ray, our party had a blast. Flora's is just as awesome. I can't wait to come back soon! read more

My wife & I were just looking for a place to have drinks and some food during Covid and we came across the AC Lounge. The service and drinks were excellent. They have a limited menu but it's solid. The bartender Tim was absolutely fantastic. He attended well, was intuitive refreshing drink's, & helping to facilitate a ambiance which allowed my dear & I to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere while still being connected to one another on a much needed date night. Tim is top-shelf. Literally read more

Beautiful but chill ambiance and great cocktails. Service is friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area.

Found this hidden gem tonight. Casual place. Ordered sliders and pesto pasta- both delicious. Great service! Kayla stood out in particular to make sure our drinks and food was good! My only complaint is that they only serve Pepsi and not Coke... so my go to Jack and Coke was a no go. read more

Not bad, something a little different. Live music was a tad too loud. Drinks were reasonably priced

The hotel is super nice and the front end staff are extremely accommodating. Hit up the happy hour on the bottom patio. Kayla is the bomb! read more

Great Great ambiance and Covid friendly. The day I attended which was a Thursday evening, consisted of live music which I enjoyed and set the mood. Waiters were amazing and on top of everything. Highly recommend this place read more

I didn't stay at the hotel, but I appreciate the lounge having a nice, big table for me to set up my laptop and work over free wifi. The bar being a few feet away was convenient. The music can be a lil loud at times, but it's definitely a nice crowd and good vibe. Love the aesthetics. Would recommend to stay or as a meeting place. Also had some game boards and outdoor area. read more

First time out here and the stay was great and had one of the best tasting Old Fashions made by Ray. Thanks Yeneth for suggesting it.

A new and welcome addition to our neighborhood. We've only sampled a little of what Executive Chef, Dustin Taylor has to offer and all we can say is that we're big fans already. We can't wait to see what he cooks up for the rooftop bar when it opens in the next few weeks! read more
