“Solid 4. Had a fun Saturday night with friends at this Mexican restaurant on Hermosa beaches boardwalk which was very busy and happening on Saturday. We sat outside in a semi booth with a fire pit which was very nice and cozy. The weather was great. The service was also great. We had their ceviche trio and guacamole for appetizers. They were great tasting but the ceviches was too small for all of us to get a good taste. I ordered the carnitas which the server also recommended. Unlike other places the meat is not shredded but rather is in pieces. It was good but as expected there were a few chucks of fat. It was a great deal at $28. My wife got the tostado which was huge. Overall the food was great. The ambiance is good too as long as you don’t mind the heavy rock music sound coming from across the street. This is quite a bit different than the Palmilla in Newport Beach which is more romantic.“

“I'm glad to be back at this wonderful venue. I have watched countless amazing bands perform over the years, and tonight was no exception. Direct from Australia Nattali Rize. She was awesome, and her band was solid throughout. Positive conscious music to uplift the spirit and soul. It was a special night.“

“Enjoyed sitting outside to enjoy the great meal, warm weather and friends. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Great service.

There’s a salsa bar but I couldn’t take myself away from the view and friends to check it out. Maybe next time because we are definitely coming back soon.“

“Great lunch hang out spot that is right off the boardwalk. Friendly restaurant staff.“

“Drink & Eat at this Historical Bar! Local Drinking Welcoming to Visitors!

Terrific setting, deep/rich wood with a nice mix of neon and other signs and decorations. Booths, tables and seating at the bar.

Friendly staff and patrons. Ice cold beers and well mixed drinks.

The Combo Burger is amazing! Fresh patty topped with hot sausage. Cheese is optional and recommended.

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“Wish I could give ten stars. It’s rare to find a cozy spot that has friendly service, great cocktails, AND a good happy hour, PLUS fantastic music. What more could you want? Oh yeah, they also have tasty food specials for happy hour.

We got patatas bravas that were perfectly cooked, and Rose Margaritas (“Rosarita Margarita”), which were delicious.

Bonus items: 1) small patio outside: 2) great lighting and decor; 3) live music on some nights; 4) attentive service, without pretentiousness.

In summary: cozy as hell…just pop in!“

“Love their menus.. spicy.“

“The bar is a great day drinking spot. Doesn't serve food but order delivery from the nearby Lenzini and you get it delivered to the bar with a smile and discount!
The owners and regulars of the bar are super nice. They have a challenge pool table and loads of fun board games to choose from.
Also early bird pricing M thru F 12 noon till 7pm.“

“Waka Waka, What a Burrito!

Stepping into The Alabi Room in LA feels like being teleported into an 80s arcade, minus the sticky joysticks and quarters clinking in your pocket. The retro vibe is strong, but nothing prepared me for their Pac-Man burrito, a culinary masterpiece that even Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde would chase after.

As I unwrapped the burrito, it looked like it could chomp through any maze. This thing was massive—so hefty that it could double as a free weight. Taking my first bite, I immediately understood why Pac-Man was always munching away. The flavors hit me like a power pellet: spicy, savory, and with a cheesy finish that made my taste buds do a victory lap.

Inside, it was packed with a colorful array of ingredients that seemed to pop out like bonus fruits in the game: tender chicken, zesty salsa, creamy guac, and enough beans to fuel a marathon of Pac-Man marathons. Every bite was a new level of flavor, with spicy jalapeños ghosting through the mix and crunchy lettuce adding a satisfying crunch.

Halfway through, I had to take a break. I felt like Pac-Man after clearing a maze, needing to catch my breath before diving back in. The burrito was relentless, and I started to wonder if I'd end up with a food coma that rivaled a Pac-Man game over screen.

By the time I reached the end, I felt like a champion. The Pac-Man burrito had been a formidable opponent, but I came out victorious (though a bit more stuffed than I'd anticipated).

If you find yourself at The Alabi Room, gear up and bring your appetite. The Pac-Man burrito is not just a meal—it's an adventure. Just be warned: it might have you seeing pellets and ghosts by the time you're done! Amazing ?“

“Great spot for local, national and legendary bands. Bar has great local brews. Sardine is keeping the Pedro scene alive. props to Todd. love this place“

“Sam First is second to none! What a great venue. I honestly thought it was going to be a weird venue given its proximity to LAX but I was happily surprised at this chic and great-sounding jazz venue.

I saw a cool man order tea and a cookie so I ordered tea and the bar accidentally brought cookies with my tea. That’s a mistake I can improvise off of.

Wheelchair accessibility: Venue was on the first level and is cozy but very accessible.“

“I would make my entire house look like this bar if I were single but still have my wife's income in some kind of she paid me to move out kind of way. Excellent cocktails, small and straightforward menu, service is spot on. Enter at the corner opposite the main entrance.

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely not.“

“Don’t come here and order Bud light or Coors. They have real beer here come here for an experience.“

“I went here just for drinks with 2 friends before dinner elsewhere and a flight home to Sydney. I was a bit unsure what to expect, but was very impressed with the layout, the old films playing on the walls, the very knowledgeable and friendly bartender, the range of drinks on offer and the half price specials( I think on everything) from 5 to 6 pm. Would definitely go back.“

“Such a Phenomenal Spot!! The atmosphere is amazing; the whole concept with the beer/wine is brilliant and well-executed. The food is delicious and has a wide variety of choices on the menu (perfect for everyone). Very reasonable pricing (very inexpensive especially for the quality). Literally everything you could want or think of is here -- there's even board/card games. Events are hosted! Wish it was closer to me because we would come every weekend! 10/10 RECOMMEND!“

“We joined for their soft opening over the weekend. The food was great and the service was excellent. We especially liked the pretzels, the steak frites and the pastries.

Parking: The parking is inside the main structure by the stop light. It was nice and new!

Kid-friendliness: Kids were welcome and had a great time!“

“It’s such a lovely dump LOL! Love going there on Wednesdays for the rib eye steak. I hope they don’t ever remodel or change a thing in there including the ripped up mish mash chairs, wobble tables… it’s our favorite happy little place. We donated some ping pong rackets because theirs were sooo bad but they probably don’t even notice it. Dive bars for the chill low maintenance people. : ) Xo“

“We had breakfast a BLU in San Pedro and the food was good but the service from Pedro and Genka was exceptional.
What wonderful people. I had the Denver omelet with potatoes, sourdough toast and fruit with coffee and OJ and my wife had two eggs with oatmeal, fruit and hot tea. A nice morning with great people and good food.
Recommended.“

“This is a nice place to relax and unwind. They have TVs behind the bar playing NFL games. I only wish they served food. They're supposed to be working on making that happen. I wish them luck as this is a nice place and some food would make it perfect.“

“From the moment that I walked in the service was excellent. I was acknowledged right away, and the server brought me the most delicious drink did NOT go light with the pour. ? It was a spicy margarita highly recommend, and I ordered an antipasto salad, delicious, regular size more than enough for two people. Excellent value for the price. Delicious Will return love this place amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️?❤️“

“The local spot for the Gundo! Always liked this place. Burgers are good and food. Local cook and just good food. 3 sizes of beers for you to choose from. Sizes are I drink with my pinky up, 2 of these it's DUI and the mug that would make Norm from CHEERS jealous. Great people and home town atmosphere. They will all say hi to you when you walk in.“

“Awesome atmosphere. I was staying next door at the Fairfield INN. Was looking for a cool Lounge Bar. So I walked over. Couldn't believe how awesome the lobby bar at ALofts was. Outdoor balcony overlooking the pool. And this being LA, the customers looked fabulous, of course. Bartenders are amazing. Super sweet. They call you by your name. I will definitely stay here next time. Only thing I was sad about was that the Crystal Bar doesn't light up because they lost the remote control ????? I'm certain it'll be fixed soon. I can't rate the rooms because I didn't stay here but. I do have Marriott points. So next time. I also love that the Hotel looks like a cruise ship. ?“

“This is a nice little place clean and classy, the bartenders are excellent! The bartenders are nice and attentive, the dj is great! Plays some really good music the whole night I definitely recommend this place and I will be coming back myself.“

“BEST DANCE SPOT IN THE HARBOR AREA“
