Stopped in to get a bite. I've sang Karoake here before . The food I have never had. This burger was SIRLOIN!! So flavorful , Sweet Hawaiin flavor bun makes you want to eat it all. Bacon, mushroom, Blue cheese Crumbles I requested on the side, and a side of fries. Fries came out so hot, i told Sarah I should have poured my Bluecheese crumbles on my fries. Fabulous!

Perfectly poured Guinness.

Visited the Blackthorn for the first time on Thursday night, at about 8:30. The large back patio was lively with fellow patrons. We took seats at the bar and ordered two pints of Guinness and perused the menu. The Guinness was perfectly poured and exactly the right temp. As we looked at the menu, we also noticed that they had specials consisting of pizzas, calzones and a few other options. I tried to order the bangers and mash, but they were out of that, so we ordered the fish and chips and mozzarella sticks. I assumed we would be getting pre-battered frozen fish, but was pleasantly surprised to see the chef rinsing the fish, before hand battering it. I was cautiously optimistic, as I've had pub food from other establishments before that was just okay. The mozzarella sticks arrived first, with marinara and ranch on the side. Perfectly cooked, seasoned well. My only complaint about THE ENTIRE MEAL was that the ranch was a little thin and runny, but seriously, no big deal as it was late and I'm assuming that they maybe were running low and had to thin it out to accommodate our order. The fish and chips arrived, and I instantly knew that this was going to be good. The fries were extra crispy, which is my preference. The fish portions were a good size, and were golden brown. There was also coleslaw included. I know coleslaw is usually sorta just a simple side and mostly an afterthought, but we decided to try it first and OMG! It was super fresh and crunchy, and the dressing was tangy with a hint of sweetness, which we both agree made it some of the best I've had in years. The fish was tender and flaky. And don't get me started on the tartar sauce! It was not some Costco service industry sized prepackaged jarred tartar sauce. It was creamy and lemony and was a great accompaniment to the fish. Start to finish, it was an amazing meal, and the price was insane- just 15 bucks for two sizable pieces of fish , a load of fries and an ample portion of coleslaw. If you're looking for a cool place to have some drinks and grab an AMAZING bite to eat, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Two piece Fish and Chips with coleslaw and tartar sauce

Blackthorn's Fish and Chips has now taken over my #1 ranking and preference over all the other So. Bay brick and mortar establishments that have them on their regular menu. I've enjoyed them several times now and even took my buddy to have their 2 piece meal. (They also offer a one piece F&C). Price is comparable to other places. Their cole slaw is better than most other places. After all, it's an Irish Pub!

FORMERLY known as Southland Bar, the very-recent new ownership renamed to The Alley Bar. The name…read morewasn't the only thing that changed, and it wasn't for the better. With new ownership comes an affiliated new crowd coinciding w/ old crowd. You could cut the tension in the air w/ someone's pocket knife because you just felt at least one person was packing. I never felt the need to look over my shoulder regularly thru the night til now. Territorial is an understatement. It could be your first visit, and you could tell two different groups were there. Service was disappointing. A customer is a customer, but I noticed new ownership neglected old crowd to tend to her crowd or anything else to keep her "busy." Meanwhile, original bartenders were bending over backwards for everybody. We, in the old crowd, are familiar enough w/ each other for some small talk at the bar while waiting for drinks. They were as confused and shocked as I was about the service. I don't even want to mention what I saw in owner/staff interactions, but I'ma just leave it at sad. It was just sad. I'm not a regular regular, but Southland was the spot for my friends and me when we wanted a night out together for past couple years. Now, we're back to bar-hopping for a new spot because The Alley Bar ain't it. I'd give her benefit-of-the-doubt because she just picked up the place, but benefit would imply I saw an effort in keeping old crowd loyal while inviting new life, too--yeah, no benefit here. R.I.P. Southland, thanks for all the fun.

What a fun happy place! Great bartenders and drinks, super friendly energy and vibe. I was in LA…read morefor work and ended up in Torrence for a night because my lodging farther north had an issue. I wanted a quick drink and this was the closest little bar. Lucky me for the lodging problem because I ended up having the funnest night with the nicest people ever and I can't wait to come back. Thursday karaoke night - highly recommend. LOUD and they have a decibel reader I'm coming back with friends on the Friday line dancing night.
