29 Best Bar & Grill near Hermosa Beach

“I used to come here all the time for years and this was my first time back since the pandemic..

I had some lemon pepper wings which were good.. But that was the only food I had so can't really talk about food so much..
The drink menu was a lot different than it was under the previous ownership.. but I opted for wine so I can't speak to any of the mixed drinks.

They still have the music which is pretty much the only reason I ever went. I caught the tail end of the led zeppelin cover band which is totally not my thing.. Never been a fan of heavy metal...it's s very loud for no reason but the audience clearly came to see them and loved them..

After them comes the reggae, which is what I came for and in times past it was an entire band which is what I thought I was going to go see, but it was only one guy doing music.. And for it to only be one guy, it took him a long time to get set up and started..

Solo guy wasn't really my thing, you can't really bring it like a band can..We stayed for one song and left..

The inside atmosphere is pretty much the same as it's always been, you know. Lots of cool people having a good time but the music selection for this time around just wasn't for me...

My suggestion would be to update the Facebook page with who the artists are for each weekend to save people the hassle who don't want to come here's certain bands or people.. Maybe try like some of the restaurants like Spagettini and Kobe's and have a music menu calendar so it's clear to people who they're coming to see..
A good R & B cover band would be a good addition to the music rotation..

On a side note, there has been a older gentleman that I have seen come there for years..he totally gives hippie who was at woodstock and had one too many shrooms, he pretty much stands in one spot and jumps around but it was good to see that he's still alive and well and doing the same thing!!

But for those wondering how it is under the new management it's still the exact same thing.. Good people, good vibes, and it's at the beach so, you will have a good time no matter what.“

“Great Atmosphere. Great hang out, nice local spot....“

“Visited the bar with friend as staying in Hermosa. We are soccer fans and the barmen all looked after us by ensuring we could watch our teams in the Champions League. \nPlenty of TVs, friendly staff, drinks well priced, tasty snacks and bar meals. All the bar people were friendly, helpful, good fun and made us customers feel good. Would definitely go there again if in the area. Thanks for looking after us.“

“The best bartenders ever! Good people , good vibes , good food and good times! ❤️“

“We love this place. Great wings and pizza and nice discounts during happy hour. Huge selection of draft pints. Great place to go before Clippers games or to watch sports and hang out. Service depends on how crowded it is but generally quite good.“

“Good food, friendly service. Been here several times and everything has been good. Also, they have cold beer :)“

“I performed a Blues concert there this week in their large music hall & library with bar which adjoins a very busy bar room playing old school
recorded R&B. It's a lively and fun place to hang. There's cocktails, beer, music and pool tables. A diverse friendly crowd. They let you Postmate or bring food. There's even an outdoor patio.“

“Yummy food and drinks. Have area outside also to chill.“

“Great place for drinks, food, and awesome staff. Will stop in again when back in town. Being retired from the food industry and family members owns a lot of bars and restaurants all over the U.S. especially New Orleans. I would give this place 2 👍 👍.“

“My guests and I had such a wonderful event. The food was good. The service was good.“

“Excellent afternoon here with a couple of friends. I had just finished a 2.5 hour morning hike so I was ravenous and ordered too much food but there were no regrets honestly. I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Their al pastor and chorizo & cheese tacos were excellent, and I loved the creamy seafood enchiladas. They honored my requests to make the margaritas a little drier for all of us, and they came out perfectly balanced. Definitely would return.“

“place was great and friendly Atmosphere . great services. very nice servers. planning on coming every game . #steelersnation“

“Came for fish and chips 🤣 nothing Irish here but the burgers are GOOD and the people are FRIENDLY.. We asked why it was named IRISH, they gave us Irish swag 🍀 and green jello shots....Dive bar, friendly bikers came/went. I will definitely return if back in the area.“

“Amazing ambiance! You’re in for a treat coming here. This is not your typical dining place by far. Here you’ll see tables submerged in the water while a sever wades out to you and takes your order. The water is so warm that it feels like you’re walking into a heated pool! So lovely! I spent Mother’s Day in this restaurant along with 6 more couples and had a phenomenal time. Friendly staff, good energy and they constantly check in with you. Our server was the best! Great giving us recommendations off the menu and if you are looking for good drinks + seafood this place is a MUST! Food here is exquisite! We ordered crab, fried shrimp, red snapper, shrimp skewers, chicken quesadillas and fish empanadas. Everything was deliciously tasty! Portion sizes are generous and freshly made. The waiting time after you order food can take over 30 to 40mins., so be ready to wait. However, once you start eating you’ll automatically forget everything else. Alcoholic Drinks - Micheladas are unbelievably good! If you like tangy & citrusy beer then this may be your new favorite drink. Piña Coladas are addicting! I think they use Belizean coconut rum on this drink which brings the flavor to a different level of sweetness, but enough not to be overpowering. Prices - affordable Duration: (11am - 4pm) We stayed for 5 hours indulging in their delicious food dishes, drinking & lounging in this gorgeous place. Also took some cool pics with the gorgeous beach views. Entertainment- DJ plays Afro beats, Reggae, Spanish music and hip pop or whatever you request. Hahaha Perfect spot to take your vacation pics or influencer’s (IG & Tik Tok) shots! You’ll see the giant swing set and slide on the water. This restaurant is located 45mins away from downtown and by the time we decided to head back to our hotel it was almost 4:30pm and it began to rain a bit. Once we got to the hotel my husband realized his wallet was missing. By the time we tried calling Blue Bayou it was already closed for the night. We had to wait till the next day and hope they had found it. What was inside the wallet? DL, 2 credit cards, 1 debit card and some cash. My poor husband barely slept that night stressing over the missing wallet. Next morning at 8:30am we headed back to the restaurant hoping the wallet would be there. Although the possibility of anything falling or dropping off from the golf cart was very likely since it has no doors or storage compartment. Finally, arrived 45 mins later at Blue Bayou and thank God the same waiter who served us the day before was there who recognized us. He smiled and said, “John Doe! You lost something here right?”, then he reached to the drawer where he pulled out the wallet!!! What a relief! NOT A SINGLE THING WAS MISSING! Everything was there! Wow!!! By far this place is not just a great restaurant with excellent service, but they’re TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE!! So happy to have come here and can’t wait to come back again! Thank you Blue Bayou!“

“They were real life savers for me when I got sick during a supposed rejuvenation weekend at the hotel. I was worn out! Eartha and Francis at the Daily Grill nursed me back to health making me custom food to nourish me and my little dog Chewbacca! We will always remember their kindness! Nice place! Classy while still being warm! 😃😃😃🙏🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡❤️❤️❤️“

“Great service. Good food.“

“Awesome place. Beer is well priced and owners are VERY NICE. I will deffinatly make this my regular spot!!“

“Sylvia ( bartender) is the business! She's the epitome of customer ( client) services. Sylvia always makes us as clients feel welcome and she knows our preferences, as the moment I walk in she is already pouring my favorite spirit and ordering my favorite dish! That's what I call quality assurance. Mel is good too! After that the cocktail servers suck!“

“Nice walk-up bar with great food at the pool deck area at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey. The staff is very friendly and helpful; they have numerous servers walking the pool deck to take orders, deliver eats & drinks and make sure the guests stay well-fed and hydrated! They also have outdoor seating at the restaurant patio, some with a fire pit. During our few days staying at this property, they came around about once an hour with free samples of drinks and snacks to try, which was really nice.“

“I went here and I enjoyed it on a Saturday evening because I was looking for some place not too crowded and with a pool table. Perfect. Unfortunately they don't serve any food. Bottles of Corona cost $6. A little expensive but once every other week is not bad.“

“Great service. Excellent breakfasts and fun bartenders!“

“Let me tell you about the melody Bar. The misses chose this spot for date night; constantly saying when she use to work in the area years ago, here and a co-worker would go there for lunch. I was like bet, let's do this. When we got there, I looked at her... She looked at me.... I looked at her.... She look at me.

We paid the cover charge and entered. The place was pact with people having a good ole time eating food, having drinks and giving to the old school hip-jop/r&b music. We sat at our time and were immediately were greeted and took our orders. We hade a couple drinks to go alongside our burgers.

Let me tell you something. If you are a burger guru, you need to hit up this spot. One of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. Everyone was friendly and the music had you in a great mood. If we didn't have other plans after, we would of been there until they close. Definitely will have to check out this spot again.“

“Real nice enjoy seeing the beach while I ate“
