30 Best Gastropubs near Manhattan Beach

“Brewco Social absolutely nailed it! We came here with two families, 8 of us total, before heading down to the beach, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely welcomed. The location is unbeatable literally steps from the Manhattan Beach boardwalk, so it’s the perfect place to grab a great meal before hitting the sand.

The service was fantastic. The two girls taking our orders were smiling, friendly, and patient, while the guys were constantly moving around making sure every table was taken care of. It was one of those places where you could tell the entire team was working together like a well oiled machine.

And the bartender deserves a shout-out because he absolutely knew what he was doing! We started with a triple, went to a double, and finished with a single and every drink was on point. 😂

Now the food… WOW. My smash burger was absolutely incredible. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked. Honestly one of the juiciest smash burgers I’ve had. The kids loved their meals, and the wives were very happy with their salads, so somehow everyone at the table left happy.

The atmosphere was another huge plus. The whole place is beautiful and has that upscale, polished feeling you’d expect from a high-end restaurant in Beverly Hills, but without feeling stuffy or pretentious. It has a really great Manhattan Beach vibe.

5 stars all day. Great location, great food, great drinks, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. You guys are doing it right, keep up the good work! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Amazing view!! Delicious Polynesian Sea Bass. Visited LA for 4 nights and my best meal!!! Walkable area with beach and bike path. Will come back and stay in this area! Restaurant prices are not too high in comparison to other restaurants that aren’t as good.“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“My visit to the new gastropub in the neighborhood was a memorable one. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I ordered a Coca-Cola, which was served promptly with a healthy dose of ice, just the way I like it. But the real standout was the Fried Chicken Sandwich - it was cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and tender meat, and the flavors were out of this world. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes.“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“Try the short rib poutine if you're craving comfort food! Plenty of gravy and meat. Everything was good, portions good, service excellent, kitchen was fast but it wasn't super busy Sunday afternoon. They also do a great hamburger!“

“Everytume we go out around a Holiday, can be precarious. Restaurant only had a couple of parties . One guy at the counter bar. Right where're we requested our seating at reservation. Obviously, no one read the request and didn't care. Got the eye roll gesture body language. Typically, the Restaurant is on top of it. Still the fish tacos are outstanding and chicken nachos Loved the food. We've been patrons since Hudson House open and always will be!!“

“I was invited to join a friend tonight for dinner and it was absolutely amazing 😍 The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable, it's beautiful inside. Just a downright great dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful dinner! Wonderful night! It's always a great vibe at Fox and Farrow-fun bar and cozy booths. Great mixed drinks and terrific wine! And the food was delicious start to finish- from the Brussel sprouts to the sliders to the cod- amazing all around! And the service was super! Thank you for a special night.“

“Every thing is made from scratch, every few weeks, they have new specials and every thing is always so fresh and tasty, portions are ample, this is not bar food, so don’t let the name fool you. Happy Hour is excellent and service and cold beers is bonus!“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

“Great food and a cool place“

“Loved this place, glad we could stop by here for some lovely food and drinks…. We were a bigger group of 8 and they do have sitting in the back for big groups but guess 8 was the upper limit…
I tried BEYOND BURGER and it was good, not great but liked it overall. My friends tried protein plate, fish and taco etc and everyone loved the food
I also had tequila based cocktail which was nice
The server was very kind and the vibe of the place was good
Overall would surely recommend visiting them if you are in the area“

“Great food and a cool place“

“The menu offers a large selection from which to choose, however, there are, also, weekly specials that run every weekday. I should mention the Happy Hour bar menu which has six to eight tasty selections at a great price. My favorite are Bob's mini tacos. I prefer the beef tacos and I wish that they would put them on the regular menu, they are that good.

The real star of the establishment is the ale. They are all good and even better than good. Particularly the IPA, the India Pale Ale. Bob has crafted one of the best IPA's in the world. A west coast style (very hoppy) IPA that does and will bring IPA enthusiasts from all over to enjoy. Fortunately, one can enjoy the IPA, as well as any of the other outstanding ales, at home due to the availability of the growlers. Then again, the pub is an enjoyable place to have your ale. A friendly and attentive staff makes it a comfortable environment whether in or outside the restaurant area or sitting at the bar. The bar is separated from the restaurant by a decorative wall that has enough open areas and glass to enable patrons to see the other side, yet still feel separated from each other. Situated in Old Torrance, just off Torrance Blvd., it has a free parking lot next to it as well as free street parking in front. The building is an old power company building that has a semi-industrial feel inside, yet comfortable. There are outside tables and chairs if you wish to eat/drink outside.
And the food is first-rate. Come for the ale and stay for the food.“

“Absolutely brilliant. Great Guinness“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“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.“

“Good vibes and good drinks“

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

“It was nice that they were open before 5pm because of our flight schedule.
The waitress was super nice.
My daughter and I were ordering Ahi Nachos, she suggested to share.
It was very delicious but huge, it was a great suggestion for us.
My husband said chicken in sandwich was hard, so I put 4 stars.
Our son in law liked his pizza.
Music wasn’t loud at all, maybe because there were not so many people because of the time.“

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

“This was such a cool spot after walking around the museum. I stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. I had a couple Palomas which were very refreshing and at a good ratio with the tequila and grapefruit juice. I snapped on some wings and tried the guacamole fries. Everything was great and I would definitely stop by again for a drink and bite to eat.“

“It's our favorite restaurant in Hermosa Beach. The value for money is excellent. Great food. The atmosphere is great—perfect for catching a game or relaxing outside in a quieter setting, especially while watching the sunset from Pier Plaza.“

“R&R USC is such a great place to have a bite & gathered with friends!!! The Staff treated us so well, specially Tara & Omar ( H. Chef ) are so incredibly Nice and Professional. Brunch was incredible & the whiskey refreshing.
Tasty, clean food & easy clean atmosphere make for a great experience. I do thank you. 😎✔“
