Delicious LAVA CAKE
Ruby S.

Friendly staff. Our server was great & attentive! Onion rings were delicious. Garlic fries, not so much. Drinks flowing... live music was good; they kept the dance floor busy. They need a new restroom situation. 1 stall ain't it! Outhouses in the patio :/

This place has the best service. Molly is absolutely incredible she was extremely nice and made me feel loved and cared for. I'm so happy that this place can thrive in 2026.

Bar area

Plenty of TVs to watch all the football! Staff was friendly and kept checking in on my group and refilling our waters and coffees. My food was good, I got a grilled cheese with sriracha fries which was very tasty and the perfect amount of spice. They opened the windows so plenty of fresh air came in which was perfect. Would definitely go back!

A long over due review for me of one of my favorite South Bay haunts. Hennessey's has been around more than 50 years and there is a reason they have been a part of the SouthBay so long. Whether it's Hennessy's Manhattan, Hermosa or Redondo you'll always feel the true vibe of a local Irish pub and that you're among friends. Today after a birthday brunch we headed to Hennessey's Redondo and sat out on the patio for a few cocktails before heading into sit at the bar after the sunset. One of the best things about Hennessy is the freshly squeezed the lemons and oranges for their drinks and they also know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness, which since they do pour the black stuff frequently it's always a fresh pint that tastes more like a proper creamy stout rather than a stale metallic taste, so you always know you're in good hands at Hennessey's. The bartenders are friendly and so is the wait staff. Though for today's visit we didn't eat, you can always get a good breakfast here and a decent burger (which by the way, two for Tuesday's buy a burger get one free is a great deal)!

Steak and shrimp

This is my favorite location. I love having breakfast with my neighbors!! This place is open early and I can have a cold beer with my breakfast. The girls who work during the day have always been friendly and welcoming. They know my food and drink order most of the time. They have the best hamburgers, I actually really like the shepherd's pie and the steak and shrimp meal is an amazing deal!!

Molly the Great

I came in for a beer and somehow left with a therapy session, a life coach, and a new appreciation for humanity. Molly is the kind of bartender who makes you feel like you're the only person in the room--even when the bar is packed and there's a small mountain of dishes somewhere quietly filing a complaint against her. Does she always win Employee of the Month for dishwashing? Absolutely not. If dishes could leave Yelp reviews, they might have some thoughts. But people? People LOVE Molly. She has an uncanny ability to remember your name, ask how your dog is doing, and then somehow get emotionally invested in your answer. Sometimes her heart is so big that her feelings show up before the next round of drinks does. But that's exactly why everyone adores her. She's genuine, caring, and incapable of pretending not to care. As for the beer she poured me? Perfect. Crisp, cold, and delivered with enough enthusiasm to make me feel like I'd just won an award for "Most Deserving Person to Drink This Beer." Molly doesn't just serve drinks--she serves validation, friendship, and occasional emotional support. The dishes may not always be spotless, but somehow everyone leaves feeling like their soul got polished. 10/10. Would happily wait for a clean glass if it means getting served by Molly.

pineapple something
Mei R.

Wonderful service and ok food. Our server constantly checked up on us and she was incredibly helpful with suggestions or anything we needed. The food itself was just ok... the calamari had a weird kick to it and I might just not like french onion soup but it wasn't for me for sure. Our entrees were pretty good. They live music when we went on a Friday night and the performers were amazing.

Spicy Guac -A-Peno Burger of the month (May)
Robert G.

I have been critical of Hennessey's in the past; however, lately they have turned it around. Good place for two for one Tuesday. Lively ambiance, good seating outside and inside. The burger of the month is always a good choice with your favorite beverage. Give it a try.

In front of my seat were FOUR dirty plates with leftover food, two used drinks, and a pile of napkins from the previous customers. She specifically told me, "I'll be right there to clear that up for you." Ten minutes later, it was all still sitting directly in front of me while flies were having a field day around the leftover food. I tried multiple times to flag her down during that time and couldn't get her attention. When I finally did, she literally looked over and mouthed "ohhh yeah," like she had completely forgotten, and then finally came over and cleared the dirty plates. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the service. I ordered the buffalo wings and a burger. The wings were probably a 2/10 -- soft, not crispy at all, and just really disappointing for something as basic as buffalo wings. The burger was okay, but nothing I'd come back for. The frustrating part is I probably would've ordered another beer and stayed longer, but the bartenders simply weren't attentive, despite the bar not being busy. They also didn't have blue cheese dressing. I had to flag a completely different bartender to get a place setting and napkins for wings and a burger. Between sitting in front of someone else's dirty food and drinks for 10 minutes, having to repeatedly try to get the bartender's attention, and then getting very mediocre food, this was an easy one-and-done experience for me. Definitely would not recommend.

A white male customer was allowed to belittle Black women and call them "bitches" simply because the women wanted their check while he was becoming impatient about ordering avocado toast. It was extremely disappointing to see this type of behavior allowed to continue, especially without the staff stepping in to protect customers from being verbally disrespected. No customer should have to tolerate racist or degrading treatment while simply trying to pay their bill and leave.

This is a great spot in October 2026. My wife and I came in on a weekday evening dinner. We went in…read morearound 6p and it wasn't too busy. We were able to sit on the patio and people watch as we enjoyed our food. We got 3 items: the sausage platter, the ceviche and we shared the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The sausage platter featured 3 different sausages and came with some delicious Dijon mustard and our favorite some pickled radish. We enjoy most pickled, sauerkraut, kimchee and coleslaw style cold side dishes. The ceviche was decent, but what especially stood out was the bread chips that came with the Ceviche to scoop the ceviche with. Finally, the Philly cheesesteak stole the show. It featured cheese meat and onions, but what was especially delicious was the bread. It was soft and lightly toasted. Later I learned they add a garlic aioli sauce that really brings this sandwich to light. They do have a sign outside that says "best breakfast burrito in Redondo beach" outside and you can only get this burrito on the weekends from 10a-Noon. We had to test this out so we waiting til the weekend to try and got the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito. The burrito was good, but I wouldn't say it's the best in Redondo beach. The highlights I've come to learn are the garlic aioli sauce that is featured in the Philly and the breakfast sandwich. Very impressive. We will be back to try their lunch specials throughout the week.

There are so many beers on tap that it's hard to keep count, and that's definitely not a bad thing. I'm partial to West Coast IPAs, and they have several excellent options, but the selection doesn't stop there. You'll find New England IPAs, porters, stouts, and everything in between. One of my personal favorites is the Milagro Nitro Stout. They even have "flavored water" like Modelo for those with questionable taste in beer. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. It's the kind of place where you can bring your kids, meet friends, or simply unwind after work. The background music is usually classic rock played at a reasonable volume, so you can actually hold a conversation. Large TVs above the bar typically have sports on, adding to the laid-back vibe. The service is another reason I keep coming back. Both bartenders are absolute class acts--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the beer they serve. Whether you're a craft beer veteran or someone trying something new, they make you feel welcome and are always happy to offer recommendations. The food deserves recognition as well. I've tried a variety of menu items over multiple visits and haven't been disappointed. In fact, I'm genuinely surprised when I see complaints about the food on Yelp. It's good bar food done right, not a gourmet restaurant pretending to be something it's not. Needless to say, I'll be back. Actually, I already have been--many times. If you're looking for great beer, great people, a comfortable atmosphere, and solid food in Redondo Beach, this place is well worth a visit.
