12 Best Irish Pubs near Santa Monica

“Work right across from here so this place is one of my go-tos for lunch. Never actually sat down and ate inside even though the energy is always feels good. I've gotten just fries from this place about 4-5 times. There's a reason i've gotten it 4-5 times. They're crispy, always fresh and well seasoned. They also give you three sauces: spicy mayo, garlic aioli, and honey mustard. All are amazing and my favorite is mixing all the sauces and putting them on top of the fries. I've also orders the mozzarella sticks and the classic burger, no cheese, lettuce tomato and pickles. The mozzarella sticks are big and the cheese stretch is perfect. For the burger I didn't care much for the bun but the taste of the burger was amazing. I always come back and will always come back.“

“A+ service Spacious outdoor seating TVs everywhere“

“Our family had a delicious meal at Jameson's Pub which is designed like an authentic Irish pub. We happened to hit the " all you can eat Prime Rib" night and the meal was outstanding. The Fish and Chips meal was also excellent with a great batter on the fish and a large helping of plank fries. Cheerful , fast service , and clean bathrooms are also worth mentioning. One suggestion... it would be nice to have some Irish music ? to add to the experience. We will certainly return to this Pub!“

“Great Music in the open air, wonderful Audience…. Beautiful iconic bar of LA“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“

“I went to The Irish Times Pub & Restaurant last night. My party and I went for trivia night. It was fun. There were great vibes all around. I love the decor inside. We shared a plate of Irish Nachos (the chips were replaced with fries). At first, the kitchen mistakenly gave us a plate of Irish Nachos with bacon (we had requested no bacon). The order was later corrected. The food was good. I had two Dingle Berry drinks, which I enjoyed.“

“It was a total blast! Staff and security were the best!“

“Bar... n good customer service. need I say more. :)“

“This is one of the easiest places to eat in Manhattan Beach, you can almost always get a table and services is fairly friendly. The bacon blue cheeseburger is amazing. It's pub food. The drinks are on the small size especially if you get a greyhound. Be aware that, even though their menu online says they have drink specials, those don't count on holidays, especially St. Patrick's Day. We went here specifically for the mimosas on St. Patrick's Day with a whole bunch of men who were drinking beer and they informed us their mimosas were double price. I still think you owe me a 50% refund!“

“Rock & Reillys is always my go to spot when I'm on the strip and looking for an easy access spot for some food and drinks. Sometimes the rainbow gets too crowded or I'm seeing a show at the Roxy and need a spot that's more low key, quick in and out and Rock & Reillys always meets that need. I like the inside as it has separate rooms which help to make it feel a little more spacious. Their bar top is another great option if you're not coming for food and just need a drink. You can eat at the bar but I find it's more comfortable eating at one of their booths. The staff here in my experience are usually pretty nice but sometimes you do have to flag someone down for service. It all just depends on how busy they are. This spot has bathrooms that are usually clean compared to the other local venues so sometimes I sneak over here as well - regardless if I am actually dining in or not. Don't tell anyone. Haha. The sunset strip is a lawless place and sometimes you have to do what you have to do. The food is average but I'm usually just coming here to grab a drink, potty, and to kick my feet up after a concert lol. In the past I've gotten appetizers and they are basic but filling. No issues. Definitely a good mixture of being a tourist spot and one for the locals. I've been coming here for at least 10+ years and it's a local spot no doubt.“

“Sports bar vibes. They hold the famous turtle races every Thursday and Saturday. During the races there is a ton of shouting and cheering for which turtle you places your "bet" on. Arrive early and grab a seat or spot around the race circle and get ready to cheer for your favorite turtle. They have a ton of beer. But as a person who doesn't drink alcohol it is still a fun environment and they have sodas and redbulls. On other days they have trivia nights and pool tables and corn hole. It's a great spot for big groups. The food there is also surprisingly great. It's all bar food but at least it is good bar.“

“Came here to watch March madness and the atmosphere was incredible! Their food is good and so are their drinks. They normally have happy hour but due to March madness they weren't doing the deals... but they did have $20 pitchers or anything which is cheap for culver. Biggest plus is that they have waiters who come around to the tables so you don't have to order at the bar. They have a ton of seating - main level, patio & upstairs. Great place to watch sports with all the TVs. This Jameson's is so much better than the Santa Monica one!!“
