    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.

    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.

    We had breakfast here for the first time, the food was good. Our server was very nice. We are definitely coming back.

    Tore it up

    Chef Fernando cooked me the best steak and eggs I've ever had, the salsa was on point and the potatoes where crispy and had carmelized onions, something I've never had... overall they were friendly and welcoming. The bar is a vibe highly recommend you visit it's a real cool ambiance.

    Enjoying a cold beer.

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

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
