Did someone say Bottomless Brunch? Came to American Junkie on beautiful spring afternoon to enjoy a birthday brunch with the besties. Was pleasantly surprised the had bottomless champagne and a decent one at that! It was a great game day to watch the LA teams (despite the LA Kings loss). Plenty of TV's to catch a game! And even had a live guitarist sweetly singing sounds of beach vibes. Our server was quite attentive and patient with us. We ordered an appetizer of chips and guac (excellent thin seasoned chips and chunky fresh guac). And I opted for the chicken sandwhich with a jalapeño honey sauce (delicious) and tater tots (but was totally torn between that and the chicken & waffles from the brunch menu. Everything was fresh and really good. Definitely will be back! Our server was very attentive read more

Reserved a table for game day and since it was a college game, it wasn't as packed as it usually is. So many TVs and plenty of seating. Loved that they had heaters because it got a little chilly. Typical sports bar atmosphere. Service was efficient with lots of servers dividing and conquering, which we appreciated. They also had healthy options that were actually good. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl with the sauce on the side and really enjoyed it. My boyfriend got the avocado sweet corn salad, but there was no avocado and minimal dressing, so he said it was a bit dry. Other than that, it was an enjoyable, healthy, no fried food game day dinner. read more

Stopped in during a stay over on Hermosa beach. This sports bar vibe location was not far off the boardwalk. We had burgers, chicken strips and a Cobb Salad that were all prepared very well and very tasty. Service was a little slow but other than that our server answered all of our questions and took care of our needs. We would eat here again if in the area. read more

Hermosa Beach promenade locale. This place rocks. Great spot to see a game! And really what's not to like when you are by the Beach!! So I ordered the Chicken n Waffles, the chicken was flavorful and juicy. The waffle was fluffy and topped with strawberries, and the syrup and butter were on the side. Of course being a Sunday, I ordered a Bloody Mary, it was spot on! The vibe is chill and people are fun and friendly. Now during football season this place pops with games and people cheering for their favorite team. One more thing, the service here was one of the best I've experienced in a long time! Professional, polite , accommodating and with a smile! Oh a big shout out to the server! read more

We stopped by American Junkie on a $5 burger Monday, and overall it was a decent experience. Our server, Millie, was friendly and personable, though not the fastest service-wise. The atmosphere is definitely a highlight. The space is open and bright, with plenty of TVs lining the walls, perfect for catching a game. We happened to watch the Dodgers while we were there, which made it extra enjoyable. There's also a ping pong table for some casual fun, and on a nice day, you can spill out onto the front patio, which adds a pleasant, airy vibe. We all went with the All American Burger, and I have to say it was really good. The patties were juicy, the toppings fresh, and the bun held up nicely. On the side, we ordered the tater tots and the ballpark pretzel. Both portions were generous, the tater tots in particular were massive; I'm pretty sure Napoleon Dynamite would've been thrilled with that heap! American Junkie also has a solid beer and cocktail selection. I enjoyed the Mayberry IPA, which hit the spot perfectly, and my buddy went for the Mango Jalapeno Margarita, which he loved. Both were refreshing and paired nicely with our meal. While the food and drinks were enjoyable, the experience overall felt just okay. Service could have been a bit quicker, I'd give it a solid 3 stars out of 5, good burgers, fun atmosphere, and strong drinks, but not quite enough to make it a top-tier stop. read more

My boyfriend and I came here after a cute beach date with our puppies. We got the hot honey pizza, American cheese burger, and two unsalted patties for the doggos. Parking can be a little tough to find but, it's worth the walk if you find something a bit far. There's lots of cute shops to poke through along the way. Overall service and location are great! read more

Outside seating was perfect for the heatwave LA had this week. Plus, it was St. Patrick's Day so the atmosphere was festive. They had me when they had a choice of Tater Tots! Childhood memories! Ordered the chicken strips with honey mustard sauce which was delicious! The strips were more like boneless chicken breast. There were 3 HUGE pieces. Wished they were actually strips because they were too big. I would return though. read more

Went for taco Tuesday and I will say for all you can eat 9 dollar tacos were great full of flavor it was good. Now the drinks were sweet and awful it was more ice in the cup then anything but what really got me is I went to get a margarita2 at that n the guy made them filled the cups up halfway not even halfway n put so much ice in the cup after one sip the drink was gone I don't think he knew how to make drinks but I was upset with myself for even paying for them! With this being said I won't return the drinks were not good it was a friends birthday he had about 8 drinks and he wasn't even buzzed that's how sweet n barley any drink in the cup , however the next day we all were in the bathroom ! The ambiance was ok for a pub but those drinks and that bartender needs more help . read more

No Apple Pay or Tap. Only physical credit card accepted like its 2015. I love this place. Tons of TV's, good, music, happy hour and beer selection. Every restaurant uses Apple Pay and handheld pay POS. Literally EVERY restaurant uses Tap to pay. Time to pay the bill and my heart sank because i forgot and am not going to the ATM, I don't carry the physical credit. Nobody does, we all have our phones. I do bring some cash to tip the waiters, but not to pay my bill. Not going back. Happy to spend my money at all the other restaurants on Hermosa Pier because they ALL take apple pay. In fact this is the only restaurant i can think of that does not anywhere. Went to Cal Beach Club and Rockefeller then Junkie to watch the Dodgers and NCAA. read more

2nd and final stop for Hubber's sister and BIL's SoCal day trip. And honestly, I felt like I had enough food and drinks at the first spot we went to (I'm DD, so gotta exert some self control) that I may just have a bite or two of snacks my party would order. Hubbers was recently here with Big Bro and Cuzzo and had a great time which is why he recommended we make a stop. And like them, we also had a great time! The rest of my party got cocktails and wings. I opted for water (again: ME = DD.) Wings came out piping hot - made to order is always yay! Not a fan of jalapeño so I have the salt/pepper kind. It sounds simple, but it's that simplicity that blew me away. There must be something else on here that made it exceptionally full of flavor, but no; it really is JUST mainly salt and pepper! Who was I kidding... I had at least 2-3 (prolly more) of those! And here I thought I was too full! FOOD: 5. I only had salt and pepper wings and they were PERFECT! SERVICE: 4. Our servers were amazing! They came through and checked on us often, cleaned up and did refills as needed, really friendly, and service with a smile, now that's always a plus. VALUE: 3. Fair most especially for this area. PARKING: Streets, lots and structures - all metered. Rates aren't bad for Hermosa Beach! (Around $2/hr.) OVERALL: 4. TIP: They have a Photo Booth at the back. No better souvenir than this! Sooo coming back - if only for the wings. And then some. Great first run! read more

This review is specifically about Junkie on a Tuesday. $9 all-you-can-eat tacos felt ambitious, but I was perfectly happy with just two carne asada tacos, rice, beans, and a full trip to the salsa bar. Still a total deal for nine bucks. Obviously I had to pair it with a margarita (or two), and yes--I gave in to the chaos and ordered the Junkie Cup. It's vodka, lemonade, blue curaçao, and an entire Red Bull flipped in... totally unhinged and totally worth it. And the service? 5 out of 5! The vibe is casual, loud, a little divey, and weirdly comforting. Perfect for a low-key night that somehow turns into stories you'll laugh about all week. read more

We had an uncomfortable experience during trivia night, not because of the rules themselves, but because of how the situation was handled. One person in our group forgot their physical ID (despite him being over 40). Once it was clear there was an issue, we didn't argue the policy, we simply wanted to close out our bill and leave and be served somewhere else. Unfortunately, instead of direct communication, our table was ignored for an extended period of time. The server never explained what was happening, which allowed the situation to escalate unnecessarily. When the manager eventually came over, the interaction felt prolonged and poorly de-escalated. I asked multiple times for the bill so we could leave, but was dismissed while the manager continued speaking only to the men at the table. Being talked over and ignored while trying to exit is frustrating and emotionally charged, and it's not an effective way to handle conflict. This could have been resolved in under a minute by simply communicating clearly or bringing the bill when requested. Instead, it turned into an uncomfortable lecture when all we wanted to do was pay and go. With so many bars on the strip, staying here wasn't a priority, respectful communication and a quick exit would have gone a long way. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Never have I ever been treated this way in my life!! I recently had a birthday celebration here since they turn into a night club at night. I am so disappointed with the customer service and the way my WHOLE group was treated. When I had first checked in to get my table for bottle service they asked me to wait a little at the front which was fine. But the girl that checked my group and I in came in with a dull energy. I should've seen this as my first red flag, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe she was just having a bad day. Then my group and I are walked to our section which is a little smaller than expected since I had told them I had a group of at least 10. As you can see from the picture of my group & I that I uploaded it only fit about 8 of us and we were all squished in our section. I also still had more people that were going to show up. Then the table you see in the picture with the juices used to be in the middle. But I moved it to the side so my group and I had more space. Next we're waiting for them to bring the bottle out because they asked what time I wanted them to bring it out. They bring out the bottle just on time like they said they were but the bottle girls and the man holding the sign all looked so unenthusiastic to be there. They need to hire better people that have more energy for this type of job because usually people want to have fun and celebrate. I didn't let this bother me though I was happy to be there with my friends and we start enjoying the bottle we had bought. My friends and I are dancing having an amazing time and a few of us left the facility to go get one of our friends in the parking lot that had just arrived. Once we come back, we continue having a good time time UNTIL one of my friends that was still sitting in our PAID table comes up to me and says that they were kicked out of the section by staff. Once I hear this I get so confused and also upset because neither the establishment nor the hosts luv language with which I bought the section from for that night told me that there was a time limit. Since I'm clearly upset I ask to speak with the manager and I keep repeating how no one ever told me there was a time limit and I would like a refund. I've gotten a table at other clubs and they've never kicked us out of our table before. The manager named CONNER is not helping me out at all and telling me that I need to speak to luvlanguage. He then proceeds to kick my entire group out of the club, which I was upset about as a PAYING customer but then i got over it as I realized I didn't want my friends or I to give them ANY more of our money. Mind you, Before they kicked us out of our section my whole group was having the time of their lives. We were all just dancing and having a great time. We didn't cause any problems or commotion until we started being treated badly. Also what I had noticed was that my group was the only section to be kicked out. It really felt like discrimination at that point since we are all POC and the rest of the sections at that club were majority white. It really sucks that my birthday celebration had to go down this way. I want CONNER & the whole staff working on Friday night 03/20/26 to be held accountable for their actions and their customer service. It was absolutely terrible for us to experience that when all we wanted was to have a fun night. I've provided screenshots from the hosts luvlanguage as well asking for a refund from them, they are not helping me out with this terrible experience. American junkie & luvlanguage have not given me a refund and I would appreciate it if they did for causing me distress on that night. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK A TABLE WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE POC. They will not treat you kindly. read more

Seat yourself Good selection of music Tater tots are ELITE I had the HONEY JALAPEÑO CHICKEN SANDWICH and the flavor was there. The only downfall was that my chicken was a little overcooked, it was kinda tough to get a good clean bite. Our waiter wasn't that attentive. I'm thinking he was covering the whole outside, so it's not really his fault. read more

I had three forms of id prepared because I am from out of state and a pic of my passport (because I don't have that strapped on me all times). They didn't let me in and were very very rude about it and told me to fuck off multiple times. They said they didn't care about me and I'm worthless. This place actually doesn't care about customers and could not have worse bouncers that don't look at ids and can't even read. read more

If you want to wait for 20 min to have your order taken while a bunch of Gen Z stand behind the bar and socialize, and then be treated like absolute dog for asking for service, then by aaalll means go here.

Terrific atmosphere in this sports bar with a Philly Eagles skew. Chicken and waffle 10 out of 10. Attentive service staff.

This is one of many good restaurants at the Hermosa Beach Pier. The buffalo wings were really good; soft and delicious. I usually don't eat all at one time because I try and do light lunch but these were so good I ate them all. I also ordered "Not So Old Fashioned " very well made. Would had another but needed to go. The restaurant is a causal sports bar vibe and looks like there is a place for a band in the back. The bartender was serving by herself so she was a little busy, but she tried hard to get to everyone as quickly as possible. read more

I'd popped into American Junkie with a group of friends for a bite to eat and a game to watch in the early evening. This spot was POPPIN' and nearly every table was full! We were able to find a spot and get to ordering. The folks serving us were prompt, kind, and on top of everything. We had drinks come out to our table shortly after ordering and our wait for our meals was quite short; it felt like a less than 15 minute wait! I went with the happy hour individual pizza special with just cheese. For only $9, this was such a bargain and was quite delicious! For folks who want a zing of flavor, I highly recommend asking for hot sauce (or even ranch) on the side. Overall, American Junkie was a great spot to grab a quick bite and an even better spot to catch the latest sports game that's playing. There's a plethora of TVs and screens for you to watch and support your favorite team! read more

American junkie Trendy pier bar. During the day they offer food specials. We came in but decided that the special (which requires purchase of a drink) wasn't as good a deal for two as a 14" pizza. The margarita pizza was really just a typical "New York " style with tomato slices added to it. It's fine , but not really a margarita. Then again, it's a beach bar so what do you expect ? Plenty of people watching available and , for a lunch, a relative bargain compared to many of the other adjacent spots The food is meh. The ambiance is vegas hipster bar, but you're on the pier with reasonable prices and a stereotypical pizza. read more
