    Wings

    The food was surprisingly really good. Everything we ate was tasty which i would not have guessed for a pub. It came out really fast too.

    Philly cheesesteak w onion rings

    Hot diggity damn yo. My first time eating here and it's great. I got the cheesesteak w pizza style marinara sauce. So good. The onion rings were a bit on the top salty side but probably just a one off thing. Also got the half n half burger. Half burger half bacon. Real good. Had some juneshine Pog on tab, delicious. Can't go wrong coming here.

    Inside - lots of TVs

    4+ British style pub located in Hermosa Beach a couple blocks away from the pier. Great selection of beers and spirits for your drinking needs. The menu is what you might expect at a British pub. There's plenty of TVs all around to watch games and the service during my visit was great. A couple of my friends and I came to this place to watch some soccer games. There was a lot going on that day so we got there a little early to secure our table. Started with a Bloody Mary and ordered some poutine on tater tots for the table, and I ordered some bangers and mash for myself. I substituted the fries for the mashed potatoes. The rest of my meal and time there I switched over to Guinness. I thought the food was actually good. I don't think I ever had English style sausages, but I thought they were delicious. I also love french fries so definitely no complaints there. It was my first time trying the HP sauce as well with my food. Definitely a great place to watch soccer matches. I would assume that it's a great place to watch other sports during the football season, etc. it's a fun and lively atmosphere there for sure without being overly crazy. Parking could be a challenge since it is near the Hermosa pier, but there is a little bit of parking in the lot in the back. We came early on Sunday so it was a little less hectic around the neighborhood.

    I honestly don't know how yesterday was my first time at Underground Pub--but it definitely won't be my last. Cindy behind the bar? Total vibe. Fun, friendly, and made me feel like I'd been a regular for years. It was the perfect post-brunch pit stop... dimly lit, great music, and strong-ass drinks. Speaking of drinks: I (okay, Cindy did) found my new go-to dive bar cocktail--vodka, soda, splash of cranberry and a splash of pineapple. You know what they say about pineapple... wink. The food looked way better than you'd expect from a neighborhood pub--next time, I'm absolutely trying it. Cheap. Sexy. Strong. Just how I like my cocktails and my dive bars. Already plotting my return, Underground.

    Bartender was very nice and we enjoyed the food. They still need some British beers but the beers they do have are decent.

    Ari is the best!! Excellent service and is a baddie for sure she always makes me laugh

    $1 Wing night!

    We found this spot while looking for a pub to try in Hermosa Beach. It is in an out of the way location, so unless you are local you'll need something to prompt you to go there (google search). I often like off the beaten path venues. It was very easy to find my level of comfort in this place, just a classic neighborhood pub feel. The menu items all sounded tempting, but i happened to come on the $1 wing night so i had to try them of course! To be candid, the wings were neither horrible or spectacular- somewhere dead center. While i stand by the fact that this would seem to be a great after work gathering place, their grog was pretty expensive. Even for a non beach front property the drink prices were pretty much the same as the other places in this town.....too expensive for the venue. Service behind the bar was good as the bartender was affable. Great place to hang if you are a local I imagine. Unfortunately I don't live near here so it may be awhile before i can come back and try again.

    a glass of beer

    Went here for a retirement party. I did not eat but just drank. Assorted selections of IPA and Draft domestic beer. Bartenders were very nice and are attentive to your needs, which is definitely a plus! Good fun sport's ambiance. TVs are everywhere along with 2 pool tables and dart games. This place is hidden. Pretty cool kickback spot to hang out. I recommend. 4 stars only since I did not taste their food provided on the menu. Had a great time!

    So disappointed with this spot. First it was stuffy and hot in there, the climate is uncomfortable to sit in. Staff was not super attentive, had to constantly get up and ask for things. We got the mother of god burger. Was SO SO greasy. Obviously a burger in general is greasy but it was OVERKILL with the grease. Also had too many ingredients stuffed in it made it hard to eat and so messy to eat. The only thing that was good was with citrus aioli and the fries both regular and sweet potato. Will not be coming back here. Was a waste of calories. My man and i are both bummed we spent our calories here, burger was average at best. Huge disappointment.

    Old school bar obviously run by Brits. We went there with a friend to play pool and have a few beers. This area gets pretty crowded on the weekend but the bar was pretty empty. The entrance is tucked in off an alley and hidden from the majority of curious eyes. We were there during the time when the state was easing the COVID-19 regulations and the rules were that we had to wear a mask sitting but we were allowed have the mask off while playing pool. This obnoxious guy at the bar kept giving me warnings even though there were no people around us. The service was also lacked and all equipment was run down. All in all I just didn't jive with the vibe.

    Ask the Community - Underground Pub and Grill

    What is the cost range of the alcohol?

    We are very competitive compared to other bars and restaurants in Hermosa. The range is quite wide because we have everything from domestic beer to high-end liquors.

    Do u allow small dogs on Sunday afternoon?

    Unfortunately, although we are an English Pub we are not in England and must follow local health regulations. Consequently we allow on-duty service dogs only.

    Is Chelsea's side done for good?

    Chelsea has transformed into Fox and Farrow. For more info here's the website https://www.foxandfarrow.com/

    Can I bring my younger brother who's 20 to watch the euros ? Or does he need to be 21 to enter?

    Minors are generally allowed when the kitchen is open. So, during most soccer events they are allowed.

    Will you be showing any world cup rugby matches?

    Hi. Unfortunately most of the games are either in the middle of the night or PPV or both. We do show the 10pm games that are broadcasted.

    Will you be showing Ireland vs Japan next week?

    Unfortunately not as the game starts about an hour before we have to close.

    Will you be showing SA v Argintina today?

    Unfortunately it is only available through streaming.

    Will you have World Cup of Cricket viewing?

    Sorry, we will not be able to show the games as they are available only on streaming services which do not allow for commercial viewing.

    Hi are you showing the All Black Argentina game today?

    Hi. Unfortunately that game is on ESPN+, which we do not have but we are getting it next week.

They can work on their staffing for lunch hour. Maybe add one waitress to cover lunch time.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

We ordered the Clobster roll with fries, and I ordered the Connecticut Style lobster roll with no fries and a side salad. The side salad with ranch dressing definitely hit the spot! Unfortunately, the Cajun shrimp roll didn't do it for me. It needed more flavor and mostly tasted like mayo. After two bites, I decided not to eat it and gave it to my son. He enjoyed his meal, though! I also ordered another lobster roll to go, along with a soda and fries, for a friend of mine who works down the street at the barbershop. I was also gifted a juice and a huge cookie, which was a nice touch! If there's one thing I'd change, it would definitely be the bathroom. Other than that, I enjoyed the TVs, the overall look and feel of the place, the area, and especially the guitars and décor. Those details really gave the restaurant some character. Would I come back? Yes -- but I'd definitely try something different next time. Thank you, Rudy! Overall rating: 3.8/5
