11 Best Irish Pubs near Manhattan Beach

“We stopped by Hennessey’s in downtown Manhattan Beach for a casual breakfast and really enjoyed the relaxed, neighborhood feel. The outdoor patio is spacious and great for people-watching—we sat at a high table and took in the view of people walking their dogs, heading to the beach, or grabbing coffee. It’s in such a prime spot, and the vibe was easygoing and welcoming.

The service was lovely—our server was friendly, helpful, and happy to accommodate my request to modify the avocado toast (removing bacon and egg). The toast came with potatoes and worked for a light bite, though I would’ve loved a bit more seasoning. My husband had the spinach omelet with coffee, and I got a fresh-squeezed half-orange, half-grapefruit juice that was refreshing.

They also host live music in the weekend and Monday night trivia, which I imagine brings a fun crowd in the evenings. It seems like a true local favorite. We found parking easily across the street since it was early.

If you’re in the area, it’s a nice stop to sit back, enjoy the scene, and take in the downtown energy.“

“I went here 10/26/24 at about 7:15 pm we were greeted and helped immediately.(unlike that crappy excuse of a restaurant called sharkeez 😡 )The service here was amazing me and my gf really liked this place I definitely recommend this place“

“Great drinks & a pool game“

“I’ve always wanted to see the turtle racing! I loved it, and April, the turtle vet was really cool and told me all about how they take care of the turtles. Be aware, I showed up and I felt like the oldest person there! (I’m 42) This is a college kid night and if you’re down for that energy, it’s really fun.“

“Friendly staff. Inclusive environment.“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“

“The atmosphere was very conducive to social collaboration. The pub was fairly empty considering that my arrival was the same time as the opening of the restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was open to the public and very clean. The sofas and bar stools offered a very welcoming atmosphere. The only down-side to this restaurant is the parking. For those that don't really care for street parking the only other option is the parking structure that is located on the other side of the restaurant. The price of the food is very affordable and rather cost efficient. The menu includes a wide variety of traditional Irish pub sandwiches and drinks. There are multiple payment options when paying for your meal. Overall, this restaurant does have a very warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff including the managers provided assistance to all customers in a prompt manner upon arrival and their listening skills and customer service is impeccable.“

“Obvious wins for this place are an attractive happy hour. 2-for-1 drinks everyday, all you can eat tacos.
Immediately upon walking in, service is not the strength. A waitress/hostess walked righ past as I waited to be seated. Sat at the bar about 10 minutes before being noticed.
However, the bartender was very friendly and attentive once service began.
The tacos were very okay. Typical pub tacos. The chicken is very bland and nothing but onion and a little cilantro, no sauce.
I also am not a fan of the fact that they serve you BOTH of your beers at the same time. By the time you get to your second one, it’s on its way to being lukewarm.
The atmosphere is decent and old school which I like.
Also good music in the afternoon!“

“nice neighborhood bar, decent craft beer selection, friendly staff & patrons, sorry i can’t frequent due to incredibly uncomfortable seating, barstools need to be properly upholstered.“

“Great bar, awesome bartender!“

“Their signature double burger is the best, quality well cooked meat and the house sauce is delicious.
