During our search for dinner on several days, there were so many different places to select from,…read morewe never really knew where to land on. One of those evenings we ended up at Hennessey's Tavern as a glance at the menu showed that there would be something for everyone, and indeed that was definitely the case! First up was that they had some good drink choices I never expected from an Irish pub alongside classic choices and all at very reasonable prices, especially for being right near the beach, only two or three blocks. Just like usual I opted for soup, going with their French onion, and then a corned beef sandwich, and I am VERY critical of corned beef anything due to my family deli background. But this sandwich was damn good. Not the best, but really good. High quality corned beef and more on the lean kosher side and the rye bread was also on point. Absolutely delicious! Another highlight was the hand cut and fried potato chips, presumably russets, cooked until they were nice and dark brown for all those wonderful robust and earthy flavors that you don't often get from potato chips unless they're handmade. Everything at Hennessey's was really good and in a fun Irish pub atmosphere. The Guinness also took the meal up a notch as it should. This was definitely a nice stop on our trip and had we more time to spend, we likely would have returned here again simply because of the good selection and the quality to price. If you are in and around Manhattan Beach and you want something that is a little heartier and is centered around that traditional pub vibe, this is definitely the way. Give them a shot and stop on in!

Perfectly located in downtown…read morenear the pier, the restaurant has a lively yet comfortable beachside atmosphere that works well for families and casual dining. The service was fast and efficient, and the entire staff from the manager to our server who was friendly, attentive, and professional. Everything we ordered was well prepared: the kids' grilled cheese with fries was simple and satisfying, the Simmzy's nachos were flavorful and great for sharing, the crispy crunchy vegan salad bowl was fresh and well balanced, and the Lil' Simmzy's burger was juicy and delicious. Overall, great food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment. Highly recommend if you're in Manhattan Beach. we'll definitely be back.

This place is always packed to the gills. I figured it had to be good…read more We came at a good time, when it wasn't too busy. It was a Tuesday, so it was Taco Tuesday, of course. They have a good selection of beers. The seating is packed, but it's fun and festive. We got the 15 minute wings. I have to say, they were just okay. For the price, I'm not sure they are worth it. The sauce is a little sweet, and no one at my table thought it was as amazing as they claim. Don't get me wrong, they have good crunch and all that, but they end up being almost $3.00 a wing. I got the simmzys burger that's kinda like a smash burger. I didn't love the texture of the meat. I don't know what grind they are using, but it felt like a cheaper grind. It had some bits that were chewy. My husband had the other burger and he thought the same. Didn't love the meat. The fries are thin and you can mix with sweet potato fries which is fun. The tostada was a great deal for the price. I liked the place. I just wasn't blown away. They do a good job. But I've had better wings and burgers. Worth a try. I'd come again and order differently.

Got there right before the dinner rush without reservations and were seated immediately. Always appreciate that. Justin took care of us and was such a gem. Warm, attentive, just very thoughtful and kind the whole night. He even surprised us with the Elvis dessert at the end, which was really sweet. The space is beautiful. Dim lighting. Glowy inside. Lively but not too loud. Very Manhattan Beach. We got the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits, roasted Alaskan halibut, and grilled skirt steak. The biscuits were unreal. The halibut felt light but still rich in the best way. The skirt steak had a great char and was exactly what I wanted after that long of a run. Just a really lovely dinner after a long run. Felt taken care of the whole time, I've already recommended this restaurant to friends and can't wait to come back myself

Came through for happy hour with me, the Mrs., and two friends and we basically made it our mission…read moreto run the entire happy hour menu top to bottom... and I'm telling you right now: it didn't miss once. Every round that hit the table was a "pass it around, everybody try this" moment. The kind of happy hour where you're not just snacking -- you're accidentally having a full-on dinner because you can't stop ordering "one more thing." Food: Legit. Everything we tried was solid, but the wings were the standout for me -- the kind you keep reaching for even when you tell yourself you're good. Great flavor, cooked right, and they held their own against any wing spot that claims they're "known for wings." Whatever they're doing back there, keep doing that. Service / experience: This is where they really won. Trent was our guy tonight and I can't say enough about him. Manager supreme is the right title -- he wasn't just checking boxes, he was running the whole experience. He served, suggested, kept the pacing perfect, and made it feel effortless while still being locked in the entire time. You can tell when someone actually cares that your night is going well, and Trent is that dude. Major asset to this business and the kind of manager that turns first-time visits into "we're coming back next week." Atmosphere was exactly what you want for Manhattan Beach happy hour: lively, comfortable, easy to settle in, and perfect for a group. We came to try the menu and ended up staying for the vibe. Only complaint -- and it's not even on them, it's on the "beach cities trying to save the world one soggy sip at a time" vibe -- the paper straws. I swear those things last 11 minutes before they turn into a wet napkin. Let me live, Rockerfellas Bottom line: If you want a happy hour that actually delivers, Rockerfellas is it. Bring friends, come hungry, and if you get Trent taking care of you? You're in elite hands. We'll be back.

Waited a good 15 minutes before someone attended to us. The person that attended to us was the bartender. Realizing he is playing host, bartender and waiter. He handed us a menu and stated he will be back to take our orders. Another 15 minutes goes by and we finally order adult beverages. 10 minutes goes by which he delivered our drinks. I received my Michelob ultra which was like a cold slushy! I said perfect! Thats the way I like my drink. Super cold and icey. We ordered on the spot. Another 15 minutes goes by. Recieved our food. Wings, zucchini, hamburgers and tater tots. I have got to say.. the food here is exceptionally delicious! No complaints on the food. All was satisfying. The place has a ambiance like a tavern. Dark and cozy. Parking is a hit and miss. We came in a good time. Parking may be difficult on peak hours. If you use Google maps.. be aware, sometimes Google maps is retarded. As a first timer, Google maps got us driving around and around. Just remember that the bar is on Sepulveda and parking is in the back. Alittle frustrated. Lol Overall it was a good experience. They can work on their staffing for lunch hour. Maybe add one waitress to cover lunch time.

It can get pretty pricey depending on what you order, but everything we had was delicious. We ordered the crab cake that our server highly recommended, a 1/2 dozen fresh oysters, and the Tomahawk steak -- all were excellent. Drinks were also on point; the margarita and espresso martini were both good. Our server also surprised us with a complimentary birthday treat, a really nice touch that made the night feel special. One heads up: be careful with parking meters! We saw a few people getting tickets while we were enjoying the beautiful view from our table. Definitely give yourself enough time on the meter so you can relax and enjoy your meal stress-free.

Our reservation wasn't until 8:30, so we hung out downstairs for about an hour first. Met a lot of people who were clearly locals and regulars, which always says a lot about a spot. Once we sat down for dinner, we ordered a few things. The bluefin tostadas are a must if you're into seafood. We also had the scallops delicious doesn't even do them justice, just wish there was more than one . My hubby ordered the lamb, which was probably our least favorite since it was a bit dry. The rigatoni though? Unbelievably good. Honestly, I'd come back and order the exact same items minus the lamb lol. Shoutout to Griffin for keeping us going all night . And the buttermilk bread? So good I almost cried. Parking is pretty easy, but definitely come early on a nice day. There are a couple of metered lots nearby with up to 5-hour parking. Fridays they've got a DJ after 9:30 PM... how swayyy See you next time!

I enjoyed it so much that I went back the very next day with my mom and sister for dinner. The spiced Mediterranean chicken with white truffle polenta was incredible. I could've licked the plate clean. My friend tried the thin-layered lasagna and loved it as well. My sister ordered the same chicken dish and was just as impressed. My mom had the trout; while she found it a bit on the dry side, she really enjoyed the potatoes, vegetables, and polenta. Their elevated take on spinach dip was so good! Packed with flavor and pretty colors. We all enjoyed the Hugo Spritz, and the service truly stood out. From the hostess to the waitstaff, everyone was welcoming and attentive. The manager even came around to check on guests, which added a really nice touch. He recommended the passionfruit crème brûlée, and it might honestly be my new favorite dessert. Overall, both of my experiences were amazing, and I'm already looking forward to trying their brunch menu. Reservations are highly recommended, but if you're in a small group (around four or fewer), the wait isn't too bad. There's also plenty of parking, which makes things easy. If you're trying to find it, it's located in Manhattan Village, tucked behind California Pizza Kitchen.

I had never walked into this establishment prior to last night because I do not drink alcohol and I thought there would be no reason. I stand corrected. Their menu is quite extensive with all sorts of comfort food all of whom beckoned you to order them. I ordered the fig and apple panini with a side of roasted veggies......perfect. We ordered a side of fries......perfect. My friend ordered the black garlic honey habanero chicken sandwich with green salad.....perfect. Really ample portions as well. Service was really stellar and totally in tune with the setting. Zane and Katie handled all of the diners with ease and a very pleasant helpfulness and kind spirit. Kudos to them. The ambience is definitely upbeat with your choice of sports on multiple big screens and so is a bit boisterous but not rowdy and there are retreats within the establishment which are a bit separate from the sports energy in the main dining area.. Such a wonderful first time experience this Tap House proved to be. Very much recommend.

First time visiting brewport and was excited to try their large selection of self serve beers…read more First impression by the young lady at the front was terrible. She asked " first time here" I said "yes", second question "how many in your party" I said "8, but im still waiting for my party to all walk in". Well we stood there like idiots with the rest of my party and then I was confused as she ignored us. I then asked "do we seat ourselves!" Well I got a "yeah" umm well it be nice if she could communicate this. Well I asked for menus and didn't get a very welcoming vibe. The gentleman that assisted us with our orders was kind and polite. Food was ok, not a huge fan. Beer selection was ok. We chose to do the wrist band where they charge for how much you pour but when we poured it was a lot of foam and we had to re pour which we get charged for that too. So wasn't a fan of that. Probably wouldn't visit again. Was really disappointed.

Came here for King Trivia on a Wednesday night and had a blast!…read more I had called to see if reservations were needed, or a fee paid or anything else I would need to know prior to arriving. The young lady who took my call said, 'Nothin'! Come have a good time and play some trivia. He starts at 8pm.' Parking is metered at the street. 2 Hr limit until 6pm. Upon arriving at 7:30, we were greeted warmly by, I would guess, an owner. She invited us to have a seat anywhere. When I mentioned we were there for trivia and asked if there's a section of the restaurant for that she said, 'No, any seat is good and the whole restaurant is invited to play.' Cool! We got a great spot, she took our drink order and we and dove into the menu. Our server came by to greet us and answer any questions. I was happy to hear they create their own flour tostada bowls, so I went with that. Hubs chose a beef quesadillas. His was a very generous serving, which I ended up "helping" him finish - it was really delicious and the red sauce had a little kick to it. The chicken, beans and such in my salad was good but, unfortunately, the tostada shell was a bit too greasy. They had a Wednesday Stir Fry Special I think I should have gone with, but no worries. Next time! We were checked with regularly and all the employees were hopping to keep the patrons - many regulars and locals - happy and cared for. We had a lot of fun playing Trivia and Jason was a great host. We also appreciated that the other teams were fun and welcoming. Competitive and smack talkin', but lots of laughs and all were having fun. In the end, we came in 2nd and claimed a gift card! So we will definitely, and happily, be coming back to OB's. Cheers! "CC"
