Gastropubs near Torrance

“Great food and great service from Jorge!!!“

“The quality of the food was top-notch, and the service by Mariel was wonderful! I had the usual Wasabi Tuna Salad today and it was as delicious and as not-over-cooked as before, which is the reason I keep coming back: the consistent top-quality! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Zack is amazing and his knowledge of the product is awesome. That being said, the fish and chips were awesome but management took it off the menu. I say we protest this pub until they bring back the fish and chips. Bring back the fish baby !!!!“

“Really great food + specials and we had such a fabulous waitress we shall be back!“

“Absolutely everything we ordered was incredible....the pretzel loaf, duck pasta, wild boar risotto, sticky Thai ribs....perfection! If you like gin, try the Hanky-Panky....not too sweet and very refreshing. The room is lively but you're still able to converse without a problem. Ambiance is fantastic!“

“Our server, Kristen, was excellent. My friend and I both had fish tacos he had the blackened tacos I had the crispy branzino. Both came with surprisingly large salads. Been here since I've been been here for dinner but my lunch experience has persuaded me that I should come back for dinner.“

“Amazing service and food!!! The cocktails are fresh and delicious. AND THEY HAVE BLANTON'S BOURBON!!! Lovely ambiance and AWESOME outdoor space. Cute little coffee cart on the patio. Open 7-2pm. One of the best avocado toast and Tuna Sandwiches I have EVER HAD!!! Don't skip on the Hanger steak and truffle fries.“

“Always consistently good food. Had the salmon and salad with brussel sprouts, and my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich. Seasoning was robust, but not too salty. Waitress was friendly, introduced herself, and had no problem with request for two checks for the table.“

“Stopped in for a couple of happy hour drinks and apps. The outdoor patio seating was nice. The atmosphere was great. The drinks were pretty good, but more on the sweet side.We had the fries and wings, both of which were pretty good.The service was ok, but both the bartender and our server seemed very annoyed of everyone. Maybe just a bad day.“

“Being a former sailor, I just had to stop by Shellback Tavern to see what it was all about. I felt like shore patrol would stop by and drag me out, which is a good thing! This is a wonderful little spot with a local vibe. Everyone is so warm, laid back and friendly. I tried their mango cart beer which is definitely a must try if you visit. The fish and chips were incredible and very generous portions along with very fresh fries. The chef even comes out to check to make sure you’re happy with your order. If you’re ever in Manhattan Beach and have never visited this restaurant, you’re missing out.“

“I love the staff!! Kind, accommodating, friendly… just a great a great crew! And the food is delish!“

“I have dined here for almost 10 years or so, and I come here often for a good reason, so I sincerely wish I could rate this 5 stars. The atmosphere is fun and it's a good place to sit down, relax, and have a good time (in terms of going to a restaurant). The food is generally good but almost every time I order the nachos and explicitly ask them for no jalapenos and peppers, they put them on, as they seem to forget the exact order when it gets to the kitchen. I have had to send food back, and while I do not want to be a pest, I keep having to death with this issue and have gotten frustrated. On a more positive note, when I order other foods, they usually come out pretty good, especially for a non-formal bar. I recommend the house salad and the Chicken Fingers. If you want something less casual, this place might not be the best dining options. I am 90% sure there are less casual options, though.Parking: Depends on the day. Sometimes incredibly easy to find parking, and other days nearly impossible.Kid-friendliness: Despite being a bar, it is surprisingly kid friendly.“

“Food and drinks were delicious! Got the cheese and margherita and a smattering of desserts. Minus two stars for it being freezing and for them selling me the wrong type of bread which was so sad because I really wanted to try the garlic and rosemary!! But plus one star because the guy was new and he tried to double check but I still ended up with the 'seed' bread. Almost but not quite as egregious as ordering chocolate chip and getting raisin oatmeal. Plus one star if you have a dog and you want to bring your pup everywhere with you, minus one star if you aren't a dog person... But I do feel like beer and dog people kinda go together.... Would go again! If only to try to get that garlic rosemary loaf.“

“Wonderful food! We were there last night and enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere. See ya soon.“

“This place is so great! The drinks were delicious. It was Kentucky Derby Day so I got a Mint Julep. All my friends enjoyed their craft cocktails as well. I did mostly shared apps and each one was delicious. I mixed the meatballs and the truffle mac. Sweet potato bombs were a hit. Zucchini fries were excellent! Far enough away from the Pier to find a parking spot. Everyone was really nice. I was able to get seated and wait comfortably for all my friends to show up late. :)“

“Love this place but today I had the wings and was very upset.Wings were barely warm tasted like they were not fresh. Buffalo sauce was almost tasteless. Like I said I love this places food but the wings were not on par with all the other food I have gotten there.“

“First time patron. Took my daughter here for Mother's Day brunch. Everything was delicious. We had the bottomless mimosas, French toast and fried chicken, steak and eggs, and the veggie scramble. Everyone was pleased with their entree selections.“

“The food was good, the live music was good. My only issue is that apparently after 10, the drink prices increase by $2, though it is not written anywhere on the menu or website. This feel predatory and shady as hell. You should inform your customers of any price changes that will happen through out the night. Don't showcase your happy hour, but hide the price hikes that happen later.Edit: I think the bartender was aware of my frustration with the hidden price hikes and gave me a shot on the house. Very nice of her, so I do appreciate her service.Edit2: the manager came over to me to explain that it is a city mandate that all bars and taverns increase their prices after 10. While it is a city mandate, I do feel that management has a responsibility to inform customers of this price change and what time it starts. If I had been paying with my card, I wouldn't have known about the price increase until I had already bought a couple of drinks.“

“The Great food. The staff was wonderful and it doesn't get better than having an ocean views. I live only 15 minutes away , yet, this place make me feel like on somewhere else (on vacation). Soothing atmosphere. This is the perfect place to unwind/relax. Thank you“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“We tried this place with some friends after many weeks driving by and seeing it. We were not disappointed. We had the guac & chips, egg rolls as starters, and we ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, chicken wrap, ahi tacos and braised rib tacos. All were excellent. We were all very pleased and felt that was great food for the price. Definitely want to go back and try some new things.“
