Had a great time in Hermosa Beach. Johnny was a great bartender. A lot of love to the whole tower crew.

Here Tuesday night for house disco night. Loving the vibes throughout the place. Phelps hooked us up with a table, shout out to him for hosting us. I had the steak frites and it was amazing. read more

Some time in the last year they changed the way they make their pizzas and they totally suck now. Dough is soggy and not very tasty. Used to be a nice Neapolitan crust. And now they cover them in that fake powdered "parmesan." Their pepperoni is the saltiest thing on this earth. Gross. This place is going downhill. read more

You can distinctly tell which side is an older crowd and which is a younger crowd. Chill place. Love the outside views and fun treehouse feel. Lots of drinks to choose from. There was a spill on the floor that I also slipped and it was never cleaned up. That kind of s u c k e d. Everyone just walked over it.... Especially the staff. They check IDs at the front. You take stairs to get up to the bar area. Lots of space. It gets really packed. The bar tenders are very attentive and work quick to get you your drinks. Prices are reasonable to all but of the other places there. Good vibes. 4 stars ONLY because of the large slippery spill . Otherwise it would have been 5 read more

Tower 12 - Brunch date with my husband, celebrating his birthday. - Bars Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Superb sports bar vibes with enjoyable spacing to enjoy some company with friends! Had a good time. There wasn't any sport games playing when we came, the focus seemed to be on their music. I love the multiple sections and especially the theming of homey/cozy furniture on one section. It was my favorite. It was an absolute vibe and we even joined a group of people playing cards. The left side bar had a live band playing some classic rock music with a guitarist and drummer. Super loud and was overwhelming but the right side bar had a more quieter mood despite there being a DJ playing some music lol. I think I'd prefer ordering drinks from that bar instead! Other than that, lots of opportunities to sit as a large group or as a couple. Great balcony seating to watch and a plus while it was cold was some fire pits going on! - No outside food allowed - Not sure if there's an elevator for ADA, we needed to climb up a staircase to come inside as it's on the top floor! - Different genres of music played every day! read more

I ended up coming here on the weekend to check out a brand pop-up for sparkling wine. It was very busy and crowded so if you can't handle the sports bar vibe this is not the place for you. Otherwise if you want a great location to watch the game with others with great drinks and food I highly recommend Tower 12. I ended up getting the Mac and Cheese and was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty good! It's not "homestyle" Mac and cheese but it was very creamy and I would definitely order it again! Honestly I kinda wished it was a bigger portion too because I wanted more haha. They have plenty of seating that faces the windows/outside so if you feel a bit claustrophobic you could actually sit there and feel fine! read more

Came here with my daughter and my husband for drinks. First time here for me; I knew the owner of the previous place when I lived here... Very chill surf vibe. Restaurant/bar is upstairs overlooking ( Hermosa) Pier Plaza. We didn't eat, just had a few drinks. Servers were great ( we came during a shift change). 6 days later I forgot what we drank but they were good!!! read more

Reviewing both daytime and night time, as the environment changes completely here! That said, this really is a Hermosa staple. I've been to Tower 12 a handful of times for brunch - food is always good, not too expensive and the service is great! Waiters are attentive but not annoying and it really is prime real estate right on the main strip of Hermosa. They have both a breakfast and lunch menu so you have options. We all opted for breakfast - I ended up with breakfast burrito (they make them with tater tots which is superior to standard potatoes imo) and my friends got French toast and the eggs Benedict. Everyone was very pleased with their meals! Pics attached. I went back for the first time at night for a friend's birthday in which I learned they turn into a full bar. While I had a ton of fun, I definitely prefer brunch. At night, there is a $5 CASH cover charge. I'm definitely a hater when it comes to cover charges, as if the bar isn't making enough on drinks.. but I digress. This is a cool spot - they have a DJ playing music, there's places to dance, places to sit, and just overall a good vibe. I'm taking away a star, just because the number of people they allow inside at once is a little concerning. I'm all for a poppin bar, but you really can't even walk two steps without being pushed or bumped by someone else. That all said, I would definitely go back! Just probably during the day instead, lol. read more

Very impressed with this place. The staff are friendly and work fast, upstairs is extremely nice and has a great view of outside. I ordered the Italian sub and it was great! The ingredients tasted fresh and the sub had a nice kick to it. The beers unfortunately didn't taste right, got a model negra and especial and both had a bad flavor. read more

Had another family dinner here last night. We really like this place. The service is always really good. The bar scene is always happen. Lots of good music and drinks to take in the giant pretzel with beard. Cheese is always amazing and my Aut number was super good. This is a real good beach place to go to. Can't wait to go back. read more

Super fun veranda-like rooftop seating vibes with vintagey surf beach decor, overlooking the plaza, close beach access and great for people watching. The staff was friendly throughout our visit and we were seated promptly with no wait time during an early weekend lunch. The food... We ordered the blue fin tuna poke, the presentation was very pretty but not what we expected for poke. It tasted more like a lemony fish ceviche and we were not a fan of the avocado mousse. We also ordered the 12hr short ribs with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This had also very nice presentation and nice flavor but the asparagus tips were not cut out properly so were very stringy and tough. Overall they offer fun vibes and have some nice weekend specials and fun events for various holidays. The entrance is on the side and you do have to walk up a staircase to access the variety of rooftop seating areas, so I'm not sure if they have handicap access. Also although there's plenty of metered parking but it is a busy area so the parking is always best left to luck or distance. I will probably visit again and try other food items before judging based on what we ordered alone but definitely recommend for the fun beach vibe alone. read more

If you ever find yourself at the bar wondering what to order, just find Johnny behind the counter and relax--your night is in good hands. Not only does he make drinks that taste like they were crafted by a cocktail wizard, but they also somehow double as a therapist, comedian, and professional hype person... all at the same time. I came in for "just one drink" and left questioning all my life choices--in the best way possible The drinks? 10/10. The vibes? Immaculate. The service? So good you'll start thinking you're the favorite customer (don't worry, we all do). If you're lucky enough to get served by him, tip well... because talent like that deserves it. Highly recommend. Would accidentally stay 3 extra hours again. read more

I've been coming here for years, enjoying both the meals and the bar. It's the perfect spot to chill, with a great ambience whether you want outside seating, the bar, or the comfy couches. They host live bands occasionally, which adds to the festive Hermosa vibe without ever feeling loud or overwhelming. I tried a new dish called the Woodfired Garlic Shrimp with garlic bread. I wasn't sure what it was called at first, but I looked it up and found it's the Woodfired Garlic Shrimp. It reminded me a bit of a similar dish I've had at BJ's, but they nailed it, delicious and flavorful! Tower 12 consistently delivers on ambience and flavor, making it a go-to for a reliable good time. read more

This is basically a sports bar & grill. The food was good basically typical of bar food establishments. Our group had a salad. Cheeseburger, pizza (BBQ Chicken). Derive was great but very loud if you're looking to have conversation with someone this is not the place. If you want to eat and watch sports you landed in the right read more

Waited over an hour to get our table text to be told it was a mistake and told it was an automated text and there we're still 9 parties ahead of is! Horrible customer service. Probably doesn't matter because of their location. read more

Only had some drinks here but it was a fun place with a great view of the pier from above. Fun vibe with a dj.

This place has a really cool vibe, great food and a helpful and fun staff. First place we came to for our first trip to Hermosa Beach and it didn't disappoint. We got the burger and fries and an order of their buffalo wings and all were great, especially the buffalo sauce. Great choice and will definitely come back! read more

Found ourselves on the pier of Hermosa Beach looking for a place to eat. The food was pretty good. Big chunks of lobster in the roll and the mac n cheese. The cauliflower was really good too. Service was a bit slow, but it was busy and we were at the beach so very mellow relaxed vibe. Surrounded by kitschy decor and loved it!! Great little find and good food. read more

Every one knows Tower 12 as the great place for sports watching and late night fun but please DON'T sleep on their food. I would argue that they have some of the best food on the pier! Be sure to try the pretzel and pizza but also do not miss the hummus! Super creatively presented and it tastes amazing! Bravo to the Tower 12 team for stepping up on their food game. read more

Great food and drinks. Jadyn makes the best cocktails. Have her make an old fashioned

Fun establishment! Definitely feels a bit needlessly artisan (such as the hot sauce coming in a dropper bottle), and I'm never a fan when fries are an extra charge on an already expensive burger. I got the classic Margherita pizza, and it was pretty good! The pizza itself was nothing exceptional, but they gave me a bottle of hot honey which elevated the pizza. They also gave me ranch, which was really good and nice to dip my crusts in. We (party of 5) were placed in a back room, which we appreciated for a bit of quiet. read more

Tower 12 - Classic Margherita Pizza - Bars Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Pro: Cool spot with some open air seating in a great location. Food seemed high quality and prices were very reasonable, especially given the location. The fries looked great. Con: Service was a bit slow and not attentive. Tried a pizza and salad, and the flavors were not good. Kind of an odd bitter flavor. The pizza crust had a good texture though. read more

Briana at Tower 12 absolutely made our night. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and gave fantastic menu recommendations that we probably wouldn't have tried otherwise -- and we're so glad we did. Her service was friendly without being overbearing, and she genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. It's always the people who elevate a meal, and Briana definitely did that for us. We'll be back! read more

Came to tower 12 during happy hour and got the biggest draft beer I've ever seen for $12! The happy hour deal was basically a 2 for 1 all at once if that makes sense. If not the photo will suffice, I got a Schooner Glass FULL of beer! This is a place I will definitely revisit during happy hour! read more

Tower 12 is a laid-back bar in Hermosa Beach. Their Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 6:30 PM. I got there after it had ended and paid $14 for a Grey Goose on the rocks with lime, which was a decent pour. I walked in during karaoke, which was surprisingly entertaining. I didn't try the food since I was only there for one drink, but I chilled on one of the couches for a while before heading across the street to Paisano for a slice of pizza to wrap up the night. read more

Why the change in menu and Bloody Mary? I've been eating weekend lunches at T12 for past 6 years. Was really disappointed that they removed the best sandwich in the Southbay, that being the BBQ Brisket. Now the menu isn't that special at all. But what really added to my disappointment is the recent change to their really good Bloody Mary drink. It's now made from some really sour tasting premade mix. One of the worst Bloody Mary's I have ever tasted. So why these changes? I won't be coming back. read more

So i have come here for years now and everytime i come here with friends i feel like the service even when its not busy is just worse everytime. My friends and i waited for like half an hour and whenever we asked for a menu or for a drink theyd look so pissy at us. I used to love this place but now its just not the same. Gave this place so many chances because of idk nostalgia or whatever you want to call it but ill just go downstairs now to Palmilla. Literally went there for the first time after the moment the bartender ignored us and kinda glad she did now because palmilla was great lol read more

Went for happy hour and it was great! The drinks were priced very well! Got a spicy margarita and added an extra shot for only $1. The beers were only an extra $1 to go from a 16oz to a 32oz as well! The food was delicious. We got the Korean wings, woodfired garlic shrimp, and truffle fries! The shrimp can in a broth with some bread and it was soo good. Highly recommend asking for extra bread to soak up all the goodness! read more

This place is the bomb and Phelps is the man. Really takes pride in his mixology and customer service. Let him make you one of his speciality drinks read more

Was really happy to be here. The tower burger might be the best burger on the pier. It's a classic burger with everything perfect. Had a great bartender Nolan. Never expected a Wednesday to be so much fun. There was live music that was good vibes. Tall guy named Brady put the cherry on top. I like how well they all were working together to keep the vibes immaculate. I go out to these kind of places for the atmosphere but will come back for Brady! read more

Trash, service is an hour slow, even forgot my order when they brought us the food and waited 40 more minutes. Overall awful

We were looking for a restaurant close to the hotel that my family was staying at and I had found them on Yelp and I remembered I followed them on Instagram. So we decided to give it a try. We went around 230 in the afternoon so it was pretty open. The one downside is that there are stairs to the eating area and bar and they didn't have an elevator or lift so I'm not sure how they get away with ADA regulations there. We ordered two different pizzas between us the large pretzel as an appetizer. One of us ordered the Italian chop salad and the other ordered the half rotisserie chicken. The pretzel was bomb. Came with the Dijon mustard and also cheese fondue. They called it. Small portions of the dip, but the pretzel was huge. And really good. the Italian chop salad was large mounded quite high on the plate and had a lot of good flavors. So much food we ended up taking half home. My son ordered the pizza with onions and sausage and ricotta and it was very good as well as the half rotisserie chicken which he ate all but one piece of chicken. Overall, the restaurant was very good in terms of food and service read more

Friendly people. Good food. Half-indoors/half-outdoors dining area makes you feel like you're at the beach (which you are) yet still protected from bird-poop attacks. The only drawback? It's in Hermosa Beach, where parking is hard to find (worth it to sample Tower 12). read more

Had a great meal here. It was peak lunch when we got there so seats were super limited. We sat right by the door upstairs at a table that we had to eventually give up due to a reservation. A table outside eventually opened up that we were able to scoop up I got the fried chicken sandwich. My friends got the pot pie. We also shared a pretzel. We ended up focusing more on our drinks mainly because those schooners were enormous. I'd like to give a special shoutout to the whole staff working the Sunday we visited. There was a particular guest who was inebriated and ended up having a disagreement with another table. He spent some time at our table and I think the staff thought he was our friend so because he complained about the other table we ended up getting a couple items comped from our tab. They totally didn't have to. read more
