[[HIGHLIGHT]]Hennesey Tavern's happy hour isn't what it used to be, but I mainly rated this place for the - location - views - superb customer service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the rare occasions I have visited, I managed to get a seat on the top floor to get a nice sunset view of the pier and courtyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I recently came in on a weekday before the dinner rush hour since the top floor tends to fill up QUICK.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm a fan of their beer battered fish & chips, Korean BBQ chicken bites, and their Reuben (pleasant surprise). I've also heard the pub nachos are popular as well, but I haven't had the chance to try them. I just tried the house 'Henessey's Rita' w/Espero Blanco with blackberry puree. I've got to try the mango one later this summer! One of my favorite, underrated feat. of this restaurant is that they can give you water in a full to go cup if you ask. So if you're still a little boozy after your meal and need to walk things off, you can hydrate too. read more

Found this spot because it was one of the hosts for blue moon brewery hosting their blue moon beer being blue for the blue moon weekend! So we were super stoked for this. Upon trying to order this our server, I think her name was Mallory. Told us that, they can only serve this during the dodgers game... which made no sense as this wasn't something dodgers related. And this was the only reason we came. She came back and told us she doesn't have it to serve. I tried to order an Irish kiss, which is one of their cocktails, and she said she didn't have any. At this point, it's like, okay then can you please just tell me what you do currently have on the menu? Our server was nice, but even so she didn't exactly know what is going on or what they had available Do not order the lemonade; it was watered down.. as if someone poured it out on accident and it just sat there until someone ordered one. It had no flavor whatsoever. All that saved it was the cowboy burger was pretty decent, and they have good quality of bacon... Overall, I was not happy with this experience and I am not sure I will be returning. read more

Hennessys has great specials , especially on Tuesdays. Unfortunately we didn't go on a Tuesday but if you do the breakfast is but one get one free and the burgers at lunch are the same ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We chose to sit upstairs and admire the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is meter parking but very close! Our server seemed to be a little confused on the menu which made it confusing for us when ordering , but that could have been our fault for asking questions and trying to sub items. Our order did come out wrong but they made up for it and fixed it no problem. We will definitely be back for a Tuesday breakfast special! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had breakfast with a friend during the week and it was such an amazing view of the beach/pier.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good, I got avocado toast but I felt like it was kind of lacking in the avocado department. I only got one slice of bread and it didn't look like the photo on their online menu. When it came out my friend asked me if I'd gotten the wrong order lol I still thought the food was good and they accommodated substitutions. I tried Irish bacon for the first time. I think I'll come back again, just for the views and maybe on a Tuesday when they have their BOGO breakfast! read more

Came here on this wild, wild, wild ass St Patrick's day. And let me tell you this: it was WILD! Back in the day I used to do security here, so when I say I can feel the pain of the guards, the staff and God only knows anyone else who has to deal with drunken people......I can relate. Trust me! That said, got here right about when things began to crack and get loose. Now that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. But I don't need a translator when I say crack and get loose! Translation: the alcohol began to kick in! CSA (customer service All Star) of this experience: The staff, servers, security, and team overall. I opted for the Dublin Burger well done-along with a non alcoholic beer. It was made to order and was delicious. And while my cousin no showed on me, it was a blast. Time to get out of here before any fists start flying and people start lying! Lol read more

Came here to relax for a little bit before going home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like that they have different kinds of seating area--outdoor, 2 diff bars, near music, a little bit far from music, upstairs seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just gotta find your spot. I sat near the bar by performer I think it's perfect. Service is amazing. The guy in bandana took care of me. He's running around, seems like working by himself BUT he is killing it! They have all the bar food you'll crave at a bar too. read more

I really didn't want to have to write this. I'm not someone who enjoys complaining, but after this happening repeatedly, I felt like I had to say something. My boyfriend and I have been coming to this Hennessey's for over three years, and since moving to Hermosa Beach last year we've made Wednesday happy hour our weekly tradition. We genuinely loved coming here, and always looked forward to it. which makes this especially disappointing. Lately, we've received consistently poor service. On multiple visits, we've waited 15-20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us while watching tables around us get greeted and served promptly. I've even raised my hand, made eye contact, and said "Excuse me," only to be completely ignored. We're honestly at a loss for why this keeps happening. We're easy regulars--we order a couple of drinks and an appetizer every Wednesday, never send food back, never ask for anything extra, and my boyfriend almost always tips the highest suggested amount (except this last visit, which was the final straw). I've worked in restaurants myself, so I understand how busy things get, and how to be a respectful employee as well as patron. This doesn't feel like a simple mistake--it feels like we're being deliberately avoided, and it's honestly hurtful. Basic acknowledgment and courtesy shouldn't be too much to ask. We've had a couple of wonderful servers over the years, and this isn't about them. We also loved the food and drinks. It's about a pattern that's become impossible to ignore. We're genuinely sad, disappointed, and confused. We loved our Wednesday tradition, but after this last incident we are pressured into finding a new spot. We just wish we understood why loyal, respectful, low maintenance customers are being treated this way. read more

Hennessey's Tavern - One of the pub's bars - Irish Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Called in to see if the kitchen was open at like 10:20 to come in with some friends for food. Came in and they checked our ids and couldn't even tell if they were fake or not so just let us in. (They were real we just had a friend from out of state). [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were directed to an area rather than a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We waited like 10 minutes and no server showed up or greeted us. I went to the bar to ask if there were servers and he said there were. Got a beer and pounded the whole thing and still no service so we just left. Pretty disappointed. I'm a server myself and there's really no excuse for that kind of service, especially after letting the bartender know we haven't been checked on. Hennessy's tavern cool but your workers should still give af about their job even when it hits 10. Weak asf read more

Haven't been here in over 20 years... Got the old seating/view from my first date with my partner back in the days who I'm still with today! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The second floor up top is small but pretty cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have small tvs for sports.. a decent amount of tables, and a bar up there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the plant-based burger, some onion rings.. it was pretty good. Our server was also friendly. She made sure we got moved quickly to the seat we wanted. She also provided everything we asked for. Overall, had a great time. Very nostalgic and memorable times up here. read more

If you're in Redondo Beach, do yourself a favor and stop by Hennessy's Tavern. This was one of the most genuinely enjoyable experiences I've had in years. Taylor (pretty sure that was his name) is a stuntman who bartends on the weekends--and his hospitality is next level. Easily one of the friendliest, most welcoming people I've come across in a long time. He made the whole place feel like home from the second I sat down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was solid, beer was ice cold and perfect, and the overall vibe just hit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ended up capturing one of the best videos I've ever made there--had my dog with me, wasn't even planning on posting anything, but the moment was too good not to. Great energy, great people--definitely coming back. read more

Hennessey's Tavern - I don't know that there's anything prettier especially on such a sacred day Sunday - Irish Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

This is my favorite place to go in Hermosa Beach for one thing, the view! Their food is pretty delicious as well, but you can't beat the view of the beach and the ocean from the upstairs patio, just fantastic! We came on a Tuesday, so took advantage of the two for Tuesday burger deal, which is a really good one by the way, and got the Irishman and the cowboy up burgers, both were really good, but I think the Irishman was my favorite. Staff was friendly and helpful in making choices and keeping our glasses full. I look forward to coming back again soon. read more

What a beautiful restaurant with spectacular views! Came in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch and was seated right away on the upper floor for those views of the beautiful blue ocean. Sarah was our server and she took excellent care of us. Cute little bar on the third floor as well as the first floor. A lot of seating choices everywhere in the restaurant. My skinny margarita was nice and cold and refreshing and made perfectly. I had to order the two timin' Tuesday's with the buy one burger and get one free. They've got some very unique delicious burgers. I enjoyed the Irishman and the Frisco burger, and they were both perfectly cooked & served medium, and with all the toppings and sauces were very satisfying and flavorful. French fries were nicely crispy, and plenty of them. Prices are average. I highly recommend this establishment. Hope to be back soon! read more

​ The Best Smash Burger in the South Bay! ​"If you are anywhere near Hermosa Beach, you absolutely need to stop by Hennessey's Tavern. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The beachside pub vibe is legendary, but the real highlights of our trip were the food and the service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ​First off, you have to grab a seat at the bar and ask for Joe. He is an absolute legend! He was incredibly welcoming, poured a perfect drink, and gave us the best recommendations. He completely elevated our whole experience from a standard lunch to feeling like we were hanging out with a friend. ​On Joe's recommendation, we ordered the smash burger, and let me tell you--it is next level. I don't say this lightly, but it is hands down the best smash burger in the area. It had those perfectly crispy, caramelized edges, incredibly juicy patties, and the cheese was melted flawlessly into the meat. It completely blew my expectations out of the water. ​Great vibes, top-tier service from Joe, and an elite-tier burger. Five stars all around. We will definitely be back!" read more

The staff and our waitress was amazing. They had a football special where certain apps were only $8 and $7jumbo lagunitas & pacifico drafts. We tried the 10 pc wings and 3 pc Dublin sliders. For the price, they were all top tier. I really enjoyed the wings with their choice of sauces (buffalo / sweet and spicy/ habanero) . Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here, shoutout to our waitress Miriam, she was fun and very attentive! If I came back it would be to sit in her area read more

You can't beat buy one get one free for their fantastic burgers! Check the website because Monday night I believe is buy one get one free burgers. But they have other specials for each day.

Excellent Location. Terrible Service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hennessey's Tavern has an excellent location and a great ocean view[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The service was mediocre at best, but the real problem is the food. It was genuinely bad. How do you mess up French fries? Easy -- drown them in oil. How do you ruin wings? Drown them in oil and strip away all flavor. How do you destroy sliders? Same thing -- greasy, tasteless, and poorly executed. Everything we ordered was excessively oily, heavy, and bland. No seasoning, no balance, no care. It felt like frozen bar food rushed straight from the fryer to the plate. This place relies entirely on its location, because the food absolutely does not justify eating here. Hermosa Beach has so many better options within walking distance. Huge disappointment. Don't go. read more

Wow!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came in on st pattys weekend and went to the deck upstairs.

Came here excited to go to an Irish bar for St. Patricks Day during our vacation. Paid for an Uber. They were supposed to be celebrating 50 years. First thing to get in we had to pay a five dollar cover to go inside to have dinner for myself and my husband. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were not seated had to find a table upstairs in our own.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was no drink menu which was very disappointing to start with. Next, we wanted the corn beef and cabbage dinner they had been advertising in Facebook and Instagram. Now they tell us they are out. How do they run out of this on the holiday with all the advertising they did? So I settle for a French dip sandwich. The sandwich was so gross I gave half to my husband because it was making me feel sick and the dip was a light brown onion soup or something not good. The side with that was some dry potato chips with zero flavor. When we were done we waited a very long time to pay until the manager came over and asked us if we had been taken care of. I didn't want to complain and we paid 80$ for a crappy dinner and left. I have never had to pay a cover to eat dinner before it was really weird. I only took a picture of our drinks before the disappointment set in. read more

Came to this location (been to 3 others) for the now $7 smash burger Thursday. Rebel in Redondo has $6 double cheeseburger & Fries and Hennessy Redondo also has 241 burger Tuesday which works out to about $10. The owner of Hennessy also owns Rebel. Don't know if one owner owns them all but they might be franchises since they don't all have the same specials although the menus appear to be the same. The Hermosa smash burger with cheese and grilled onions while cheap at $7 was just not good. It could have been good but the Pattie's look as though they were steamed since they were grey in color with no sear or char. Both Rebel and Hennessy Redondo know how to cook their meat. I heard the cook after 5 is better because he couldn't be much worse. If you get a soft drink you get about 4 ounces in a giant glass of ice. I've noticed all Hennessys are not at all good at refilling drinks. The fries were ok but a child's portion at best. Everything about rebel and RB Hennessys is superior food wise the Hermosa. 3 stars is generous and reflects the fact that the burger and fries were only $7. Execution could fix the problem. And a pickle! read more

I usually hit up Hennessey's on Thursday after volleyball and I normally have a great time. It's a self-seat establishment but the waiters always notices us pretty quickly and will start catering to our needs. All the servers are super friendly and I always feel taken care of. One of the best parts of the is that it tends to be clean and a great vibe as you are literally right next to the beach. I always go on Thursdays night where there have a $6 smash burger deal that comes with fries. In 2024 it's a great deal and the quality of the burger is a great. It comes out fresh and had a good meat that is salted very well. Only giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because I haven't tried other items. However I'll be back! read more

Had a wonderful time here! Had lunch here the other day and it was very nice! We ordered a bunch of appetizers, a salad, a burger and a couple of BLTAs. The food was delicious and meet our expectations! The atmosphere is very nice. Looking around everyone was enjoying their time sitting in the sun and enjoying life. The service was ok. First time we have ever seen someone come by and take your cream and sugar away after you get done using them. Kind of odd, but oh well. My wife even wanted a refill on her coffee and had to remove the cream and sugar before the person took it away. But it was a nice time other than that. Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do some feasting. read more

I was at this pub for early dinner around 3ish. I was upstairs facing the beach. I see the bartender which I found out fast enough. As I saw him, I asked twice if I could get a coffee refill. He turned to me and told me to ask him please and that he wasn't my waiter, he proceeded to get my drink and when he returned to my table I told him that he was rude. He turned to me and yelled that I was rude to him and owed him an apology. The table next to me turned as he raised his voice. I asked for the manager, he did not do a thing. Only that he would talk to him. I was upset with the treatment of a customer trying to enjoy the afternoon only to be belittled by a waiter and a manager that did not care! Never again to visit this place! read more

Great spot right on the beach! On the last night of summer, we visited Hennessey's in Hermosa Beach for their tavern on the beach. Closest restaurant to the Hermosa pier. Beer, burgers, fries. Everything tasted good. Volleyball, lifeguards. Sunset for free. Thank you Hennessey's - excellent service and great views. We took friends visiting us here, we were lucky to get a spot up on the second floor - pro top: came on a non-event weekend, and got there before the evening crowd arrived. read more
