Happy Hour Menu

Fun looking, and menu looked simple but promising. Hada beer while deciding what to order but 3 A holes vaping ruined it so I left. Its a dive bar, they dont care.

We love this place. It's definitely got a dive bar vibe, so it's not a fancy eating out experience by any means. But the servers are friendly, the prices are fair, the beers are tasty, and that kitchen is magical. The diversity they offer, and the quality of all dishes, that can come from such a tiny little kitchen tucked away in the corner, will never cease to amaze me. Their Philly cheesesteak is one of our favorites, and everything else we've tried we also love, but that Philly is what keeps bringing us back. Hitting them up late on a Friday after pickleball is the best way to end a week.

Five Glorious Stars for The Hangar Inn! I moved to Manhattan Beach when I was 11 years old, and like most locals, I remember that plane. You know the one -- the unmistakable tail of a Cessna poking through the roof, like some mysterious relic of a daredevil stunt. I asked my parents about it and was immediately told, "That's just a bar. Not for you." So for 50 years, I walked or drove past The Hangar Inn without ever stepping inside. Fast forward to now -- my wife and I decided to stop in for a quick beer before a visit to my parents (you know, one of those visits that practically requires a little liquid courage). And just like that, I was smitten. My only regret? That I hadn't discovered this place decades ago. The Hangar Inn is not trying to impress you with fake dive aesthetics or corporate-manufactured charm. This place has earned its patina honestly -- over 60 years of character baked into every inch of its walls. No windows, no nonsense, just a good old-fashioned beer-and-wine bar that's as real as they come. The patio -- born out of necessity during the pandemic -- has become a perfect little oasis out front. Now let's talk about what really surprised me: the food. This humble little kitchen tucked at the end of the bar churns out some of the best damn food in the South Bay. I'm talking hand-cut chips, beautifully grilled quesadillas, and hot dogs loaded with perfectly blistered peppers and onions. The cooks aren't flashy -- they're talented. I'd put their work up against any trendy gastropub, and they'd win hands-down on flavor and heart. Since that first visit, my wife and I have become regulars. We've never had a bad experience. The Hangar Inn feels like home -- the kind of place you hope still exists in a world of polished trends and Instagrammable nonsense. It's not a speakeasy, it's not a concept bar, and thank God for that. It's just The Hangar -- real, unpretentious, and absolutely awesome. If you're in South Orange County, good luck finding something this authentic. Trust me, I've looked.

Let me just start by saying that I absolutely loved this place. Came here to hang out with an old friend of my from business school, as this is his local watering hole. The waitresses are the friendliest I've ever met at any bar, in any State, in any Country. While we had intended to have drinks here, we ended up ordering a LOT of food - I customized my nachos to skip all the non-vegetarian items (I'm a lacto-vegetarian), and it was absolutely delicious! Also, quite filling, which made it difficult to eat the veggie burger I had also ordered. I would return here in a heartbeat.

Outside Patio

The Hangar is a great spot. Awesome crowd. Awesome service. Awesome food. All the girls are very attentive. You can literally see the men cooking your food right up there by the bar. The place has multiple televisions, all types of sports fans. Prices are decent, the amount of food they give is very generous. It's a bar but it's also very family oriented many people bring kids, there are outside patios. Dog friendly as well. If you haven't been you are missing out.

This is a good spot to eat at, highlighted by great service. The food is delicious and their fries are fresh cut, which is an amazing find in a world where most restaurants use frozen fries to serve. I'd recommend this place and will come back to try other things on their menu. Parking is easy on the streets, their private parking lot seems harder to navigate in and out of speces as well as to merging into the street (Aviation Blvd), so you probably would be well advised to park on Aviation or a side street.

Enjoying a cold beer.

I came here with two close friends after golf at Alondra. They go there often and this was my first time. We sat outside and relaxed. The beers hit the spot. I ordered the special chili verde burrito and my friends split the Philly cheese steak sandwich which is large. My burrito was excellent. It was tasty and delicious. The Philly cheese steak sandwich looked really yummy. I wish that I didn't live 30 miles away or I would be here often. I will remember to find it the next time that I am in the area and hung.

Definitely a dive bar. Fairly small selection of beers on tap. The nachos were cold, with the cheese in big, partially melted clumps.

A hidden gem within staggering distance of my hotel…read more The other clientele seemed local and were there for the basketball game. All well behaved, everyone kept to themselves. The staff were friendly without being in-your-face-I-want-your-tips, but attentive at the same time with menus arriving quickly and fresh drinks timed perfectly. Food was delivered so fast I suspect that they had a bunch of game day standards pre-prepared to better deal with the game crowd. Regardless, the food was delivered fast. I had the buffalo wings which were crisp and lip smacking spicy - just as I would expect. Plump and meaty wings, and despite being an appetiser it was enough for me as dinner. The pilsener was a good match with the wings, and was a refreshing brew. I had three or four of them for the sake of quality assurance. Well recommended.

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.

Small parking lot that may park about 5 cars and watch the street signs for parking. Pool table & full service bar. Mostly bar seating with a banquette along one wall. What made this bar cool is Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma as she refers to herself. Breezy, lively, nonchalante, a bit coquettish to the "right guy", socially charming to her other guests. She creates her own story line to create her aura & drama. Author John Rechy, if he were straight, would have featured Miz Sandra in one of his novels like the City of Night. Ordered a pint of Guinness & Harp combination, but I didn't call it a "black & tan" in an Irish pub for historical reasons. But Sandra told me they don't have Harp, and suggested I do a Snake Bite instead which is half Guinness & Hard Cider. I opted for just Guinness since I wasn't in an experimental mood. Later, she was kind enough to let me sample a shot of the Strong Bow Hard Cider which was smooth, sweet, acidic with actual sour apple flavour. Next time I'll have to order the Snake Bite. Don't know how exactly Irish Sly Fox is with its grunge-garage rock music. But it's a good, unpretentious, local hang out. And of course, there's Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma who is worth the visit. 4- stars

Their price for renting a space was better than most in the South Bay which I appreciated and it came with the space, tables, and beer tokens. I do wish however that their drink menu had more options, as it's essentially only a few beers and that was it. They also let you cater your own food which I appreciated. However, the day of event was not great and we did not appreciate the hospitality of the main guy we worked with. The main guy was not kind or helpful and I would not chose to host here again because of him. Besides the tables for guests to sit on which were very dirty and not cleaned of previous food scraps, we only were provided a few tables to put our own food and items on. Considering it's a party rental space I would've expected there to be significantly more tables that we could use for our event. In addition, it was a hot summer day and they only provided us with a few umbrellas after we moved our event to the outdoor space to accommodate common space, leaving our guests hot and uncomfortable. He wasn't kind when we asked for additional tables/umbrellas and he also was extremely rude to me during the party which really bothered me. A couple of friends had given me wine bottles as gifts-a very normal gift to give. And they were clearly gifts and on the gift table, not intended to be drank or used. He aggressively came up to me and told me they can't be there, to which I explained I did not bring them and they are gifts and will be taken home with me and have no intention of opening. He proceeded to continuously tell me to remove them from the property even though I stated multiple times they were gifts and not to be drank. He was rude, unprofessional, and should have not chose to share this with me as I was in the middle of socializing with my guests and by no means wanted to "deal" with the few wine bottle gifts that weren't causing any issues. Overall, the brewery is cool and everybody else was great. But I would not choose to work with them again because of the lead man and encourage him to approach future events with a kinder heart and better professionalism as I imagine manyyy people will receive wine as gifts in the future and it is not right to harass them during their event if so.
