    X Speakeasy is truly a phenomenal place to grab a drink, relax and enjoy the company of friends or an intimate evening with your significant other. Firstly the hospitality and kindness John provided during their Rum tasting party March 30th. I am a member of a different speakeasy but love visiting others. As a disabled traveler because these places can be fairly small and tight I run into the risk of not being able to find a place to sit comfortably guarantee. When I emailed to RSVP for the festivities I inquired about ada accommodations. John provided phenomenal options that were not limited to one spot in the corner way in the back and forgotten as numerous occasions elsewhere this has happened as places had to make a makeshift space to accommodate me . John made sure we had a lovely spot to sit and enjoy ourselves comfortably. Upon entering he greeted us and guided my friend and I to our seat. Staff was so up beat and friendly and checked in on us throughout our time there. Had it not been the fact i had work the next morning I would have stayed longer. The ambiance and feel were the best vibes. The dj in the back was so lively and fun despite no one at that time dancing. As for the ada requests. This place would work for people like myself who use mobility aides. I switch between canes and my wheelchair. The space provided ample seating options for us to either sit comfortably with a chair * some adjustments would be needed prior to arriving* or sitting in the chair. The bar itself offers Hightower and low table options, a spacious dance area and a decent sized restroom that's also comfy for us who need more space. Our drinks were phenomenal, full of flavor storng and delicious. There is a large variety to choose from and I plan to plow through the menu each additional visit so I can come back and tell you my top reccomendations. I love all kinds of drinks so I can't wait to taste test everything and categorize my favorites. As always drink responsibly. I live local so do not have to risk drinking and driving as the drinks here will pack a boozy punch. My overall experience here exceeded expectations and finds itself at a high number on my list of fun cocktail lounges that are ada friendly.

    Sitting at the bar to enjoy our favorite Negroni cocktails. I thought the drink was just okay, not the best Negroni I have ever had. The service was great though, very attentive and friendly.

    I found this spot while searching for a cocktail bar nearby, and I'm SO glad I stopped in! It was a quiet Wednesday, but everything--from the music to the vibes to the customer service--was on point. The cocktails? Incredible. I had a gin martini followed by a French 75, and both were perfectly crafted and totally hit the spot. Emily was an absolute gem--friendly, knowledgeable, and just great to chat with. She filled me in on their happy hour (5-6pm), live music Wednesdays, and DJs from Thursday to Saturday. I'm already looking forward to coming back on a weekend to experience the full energy!

    A fun cocktail bar-meets-disco in the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach! Connected to French bistro Fête, x offers great artisanal cocktails (try Who Knows!), attentive service, and bites by Fête amidst a cozy setting. You can opt for a quartet of plush velvet armchairs by the window, high top tables, or bar seating, and a spinning disco ball in the back room and cranked-up music volumes stand ready for later evening hours.

    Not as clandestine as I thought it would be but overall a great spot with a touch for the Christmas decor! Bartenders were nice and made the place warm and inviting. Definitely on the pricier side but drinks were made perfectly. Not too sweet. Initially was worried it didn't contain a lot of alcohol but that was because they did a good job with the combos so it was subtle and definitely felt drunk at the end of the

    Very cute speakeasy tucked away in the hidden side of the attached Italian restaurant. Very friendly people behind the bar and the tiki-esqe drink I had was crafted to perfection. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area

    I want to gatekeep this place so bad. Drinks are really good and the bartenders I've spoken to have been great customer focused people. I've been to this bar when it was crowded for their events and when it's a low key night with just a couple other people. When there's an event and there are too many people, it is difficult to get a drink. It is especially difficult if you aren't tall and a little aggressive because the place is so small. I love the ambiance and the energy of the place, but wouldn't attempt it if there are too many people.

Just a fantastic dining experience all around with great food. Easily one of my favorite new (to me) restaurants and my favorite in the beach cities.

I had never walked into this establishment prior to last night because I do not drink alcohol and I thought there would be no reason. I stand corrected.

We ordered a side of fries......perfect. My friend ordered the black garlic honey habanero chicken sandwich with green salad.....perfect. Really ample portions as well. Service was really stellar and totally in tune with the setting. Zane and Katie handled all of the diners with ease and a very pleasant helpfulness and kind spirit. Kudos to them. The ambience is definitely upbeat with your choice of sports on multiple big screens and so is a bit boisterous but not rowdy and there are retreats within the establishment which are a bit separate from the sports energy in the main dining area..

Well we stood there like idiots with the rest of my party and then I was confused as she ignored us. I then asked "do we seat ourselves!" Well I got a "yeah" umm well it be nice if she could communicate this. Well I asked for menus and didn't get a very welcoming vibe. The gentleman that assisted us with our orders was kind and polite. Food was ok, not a huge fan. Beer selection was ok. We chose to do the wrist band where they charge for how much you pour but when we poured it was a lot of foam and we had to re pour which we get charged for that too. So wasn't a fan of that. Probably wouldn't visit again. Was really disappointed.

The space is small but thoughtfully curated -- part boutique wine shop, part cozy tasting room. You can tell they really put intention behind their selection, with wines from all over (and even some organic/vegan-friendly options if that's your thing). I love that you can grab a glass, do a flight, or just browse and take a bottle home. The rotating wine list keeps things interesting, so it doesn't feel like the same experience every time. The vibe is super relaxed and unpretentious -- definitely the kind of place where you can show up whether you know your wines or just want to sip something cute and call it a day. Bonus points for being able to bring in food from nearby spots since they keep it simple with snacks. Overall, it's giving neighborhood favorite energy. Perfect for a casual date, catch-up with friends, or a solo "I deserve a glass of wine" moment.

I went thru the back door. It's a small boutique wine shop. The restroom is clean and to your right as soon as you enter. A water station to your left. They have several tables and a bar to sit at. Pictures on the wall complimenting the vibe. Everything was clean. The shop is beautiful in its own way. The music wasn't loud, it was just right. It's definitely a welcoming atmosphere. I let the host know that I was there for the wine tasting and he immediately set me up with a menu and a table. I decided on the "shareable flights". I then chose 2 white and 2 red wines. Didn't have a preference so I went with his recommendations or suggestions and allowed him to choose lol. The individuals who were there last night were mostly locals. Had the pleasure of meeting an older couple (Erin and Conrad Stanley) in which I ended up giving my last flight to them while we had an awesome conversation lol. Everyone was friendly and real cool. Not making me feel out of place nor uncomfortable. I also met another couple after they left. I went to the restroom, came back and a couple was standing near my table. So into his conversation, dude sat down then apologized for sitting at my table and I told him it's all good haha. Next thing you know we're all laughing and conversing haha. I really enjoyed my 3 hrs here. I had a great experience. Took a cross word puzzle for my entertainment and ended up meeting some new wonderful people instead. I will definitely be back. No food but you can order from "Olive It" which is next door. I'm bringing my charcuterie board next time tho. They make you feel like you're at home. The service was hospitable. I also had the pleasure of seeing the owners and interacting with the wife as she cleaned the tables and made her rounds checking up on all of the guests. The husband was doing his part also, entertaining at the bar lol and providing whatever services needed. I love it... They do their best to provide professional and friendly service. I have no complaints whatsoever. I was even told they allow dogs. Big win !!! lol

Once we sat down for dinner, we ordered a few things. The bluefin tostadas are a must if you're into seafood. We also had the scallops delicious doesn't even do them justice, just wish there was more than one . My hubby ordered the lamb, which was probably our least favorite since it was a bit dry. The rigatoni though? Unbelievably good. Honestly, I'd come back and order the exact same items minus the lamb lol. Shoutout to Griffin for keeping us going all night . And the buttermilk bread? So good I almost cried. Parking is pretty easy, but definitely come early on a nice day. There are a couple of metered lots nearby with up to 5-hour parking.
