Shellback Tavern

Shellbacks is always the best! I've been going here is since the early 80's and still one of the best beach bars in LA.

Ridiculous that this place charges $10 for a beer on weekends, and they give it to you in a small cup, not even in a full draft glass. Total rip off, average boring crowd, won't be back

Small bar with a long MBO connection. Fun to stop and enjoy a pitcher with friends. It is fun to look at the walls and take a stroll down memory lane.

How do you feel about this:

Had a very unsettling experience at this place. We were overcharged and later became unexpectedly sick after only a small amount to drink. The effects lasted for days. Something didn’t feel right, and I’d urge others to be cautious here. There are signs posted that roofie isn’t allowed which is a red flag to any venue.

I can't praise this place enough. First of all, the staff is amazing, extra friendly, genuine, helpful, and made the lunch experience with the family fantastic. Our server was absolutely fantastic. You could tell he really did want to work there and was happy to be doing so. I even asked another server who had brought us drinks where a good tackle shop was and he said he didn't know, but would find out. Even though I told him not to worry it was no big deal, he returned 2 minutes later with a couple places to go.

Even if the food was subpar, the atmosphere of a dive bar by the beach with a staff like that would have still meant 5 stars, but the food was absolutely fantastic. We had a pitcher of beer and it was the coldest tap beer I've ever had...the sign of a good bar. We got their famous chicken tenders and they were outstanding. We got a couple burgers and some tacos, and everything was extremely delicious, fresh, hot, and made with care.

I highly recommend this place and can't praise the staff enough. This place has an energy that can't be matched, and we have found our go to in MB!
