I love this place!! It's a bigger restaurant/bar for the area and it's always got great people coming and going. The staff is incredibly kind, cool, and accommodating. Their kitchen is opened late! And everything I've had (onion rings, fries, burgers, soup, salad) has been super hot and fresh. I love that there is always something going on here. Monday night trivia is my absolute favorite! There are a lot of teams and we all have a lot of fun. They also have Karaoke on Wednesday! Definitely recommend for great drinks, food, people, etc etc. Definitely stop by if you're in the area you will not be disappointed!! read more

Food tasted so-so, but it was happy hour, so I can't expect much. Service was decent. Water tasted horrible, which isn't like other restaurants I have dined at. It's clear there's no filter, but it almost tasted as if additional contaminates were added. After dinner, my buddy and I both had bad stomach aches. The atmosphere was the best part of this experience. read more

Went here for a coworkers going away party. Good staff and reasonable food. You can try their all American burger if you're in the mood for a classic. Parking is occasionally annoying, but that's the area for you. read more

Happy Hour review on a Friday night. From 4 to 6 Monday thru Friday and is a great value. $5 drinks from a big menu of margaritas, big beers, Moscow mules and more. Drinks were the highlight. $6 appetizer specials. We had shrimp tacos (came 2 with almost no shrimp), seared Ahi was good and Korean fried cauliflower. Was pretty standard bar food, nothing special but again a great value. Service was okay and friendly. read more

Fish and chips were mostly breading and the food took 30 minutes. Would not eat there again.

We had Hennesseys for lunch yesterday here. I had a big bacon and lettuce cheeseburger and french fries, with an alcoholic drink too. Nice bar and grille tavern here with good music too. Nice waiter Dan took care of us. Always a pleasure. read more

Service was incredible. I've lived in the Southbay for years and always sit at the bar, and it's always amazing! Tonight I sat at a table for the first time in YEARS! MICHELIN! Kendra, you killed it! If I could, I'd rate 6/5 stars!! She reinvigorated my love for Henneseys Tavern!! Thank you for the amazing food and great ambiance. read more

Me, my boyfriend and my dear friend came in New Year's morning to get one drink for brunch. When the bartender (Olivia) approached us we tried to be as friendly as we could towards her, but we got nothing but rude behavior. We shrugged it off as a "waking up attitude". The more we tried to converse with her she kept giving us dirty looks and kept dismissing and demeaning us. We ordered 2 Guinness and when the keg kicked she said "I have to change the keg so you're going to have to wait". I told her don't worry about it and we walked out. I always have great service with Jeff and juniper and always love coming here, but Olivia gave such a disgusting taste in my mouth. She should not be representing this establishment especially when other employees who have been there for a while have made their patrons welcome. read more

Great pub, food and ambience! I've been walking by Hennessey's for years and finally decided to grab a bite and hang out on a Friday night. The 80s/90s music was good and not overly loud, so we could still talk. Our server Emma was awesome! We took her up on her favorites and loved the Irish nachos and the Dublin burger. Shortly after 9:00pm the live band started (Honey and the flies) and they were great. read more

Bartender was extremely rude. White guy bulky built with glasses on a Wednesday night. I guess because I'm Hispanic and my boyfriend is black he was extremely racist Thinking I'm not going to tip good Little does he know I'm a bartender & I know I make my living off of tips so I know how to tip good. He needs to cut it with his discrimination because he should know he makes his tip by providing good customer service. Anyways I shouldn't have gone there because when I went in to another bar right down the steeet I was welcomed & it felt really good . I immediately regretting even tipping this bartender a good amount for his shitty service. Not coming back. Hire nicely bartenders that are not fucking racist read more

This is one of the better and versatile bars in Manhattan that I enjoy coming to each and every time. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a drink, Hennessey's should do the trick! Firstly, no, this bar isn't affiliated with the cognac - it's actually even spelled differently. The location of this bar is right on the main downtown boulevard and has a nice, but petite, seating area outside to enjoy the sun. Parking here is going to be the usual metered street parking with a couple of small lots throughout the neighborhood in the allies. The service here can vary from night to night but my experiences have always been good. The food here is good as well! The chicken tenders are juicy, the tacos have flavor and the nachos are big enough to share. I really enjoy the casual atmosphere of this place. Hennessey's is a solid bar that I would have no problem recommending to anyone on any given day! read more

Waitress, Alex is always rude attitude every time we go there. My bf and I tried to find Alex to order chicken tenders but she wasn't in the floor. So we tried to get other waitress, Christie. She looked so rude too. She finally came to us and said with tiring face "sorry I didn't know what you guys want something". We said "we want to order food. But can't find Alex" She took a big sigh and got our order and left. But Food never came to us. I saw Alex and asked what's going on our order. I did not meant to blame her at all cuz we ordered Christie. I just wanted to ask. And Alex got SOO mad and yelled at me "You shouldn't have asked Christie! Only me! Kitchen is close already. No food. No charge. It's not my fault!!" I was like "why she is mad at me??" I said "ok I'll just go ask Christie if our order went through" I started to walk to Christie and Alex got SO freaked out saying NO! and ran to Christie before me and yelled at me "DON'T talk to her!!! Go away!! Bye!!!!" Unbelievable attitude. I do know we should have ordered our waitress, Alex but she wasn't in the floor. Christie should have called Alex when we ordered. All messed up. And obviously Alex and Christie hated each other. I saw Christie sat on the back table to do money thing so sneaked to go talk to her on the way to the bathroom. She said to me " I forgot your order" Really? It was SUPER slow that night. How did she forget our order?? I have a feeling that Christie got our order and didn't give it to the kitchen on purpose to be mean to Alex. Alex hates her and was mad at me cuz we ordered to Christie. That's my guess. But I don't care about their prob! I don't understand why Alex treated me like that. It wasn't professional at all. She has no idea what service industry is! Alex never came to me when I sat in the beginning anyways. And in the end, Alex came to me and my friend to ask how we would want to pay. I didn't order anything. My friend said she would wanna pay for only her food. Alex brought the bill included the band member's bill. SO stupid.... My bf asked supervisor to fix the bill. Supervisor totally understood situation and fixed it. Alex brought revised bill and just laughed at me. NO Apologies at all. I saw her massaging supervisor's shoulder after that. I really really hope Alex would get fired asap. She has been rude for a long time. I don't understand why she still works there. read more

You know what? For a Friday night, it wasn't busy - we walked right in and chose a table. It was 7:30 and we wanted a drink and a bite - hey Friday night, right? We had a sweet server. She was prompt to get us drinks and take our order. It's a share night - buffalo wings and the prime rib dip sandwich mmmm yum! The wings are great served on a bed of French fries, probably the fries are completely unnecessary. But, one of those thing where you eat them anyways because they are slathered in buffalo sauce run off. :) The prime rib dip sandwich is on a roll and has a schmear of horseradish sauce and au jus for dunkin', perfect for sharing and just enough! We paid extra for sweet potato fries, served on the cold side - but meh.. those taters never really hold their heat. Great date night, and cool place to just chill and chat. Good service. Nice patio to people watch. Parking can be difficult in the area at times, however be patient - it's the beach - slow down, and relax. There's always someone leaving and you're bound to find a great spot. read more

Hennessey's Tavern - Buffalo wings on a bed of fries - Irish Pub Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I never write reviews but this was too appalling an experience not to say something. From the moment we sat down, the waitress had an attitude and seemed to have something against us - maybe skepticism as we're all in our early twenties. She was incredibly rude when confronting me about my out of state ID, which she incorrectly suspected to be fake (her wording: "Honey, you need to get a better fake"). We tried to come back later and were immediately told to leave. The manager wouldn't look at my ID herself, nor would they scan it for verification. They were cursing and insulting our young appearance on our way out. I truthfully wouldn't have had an issue if they just respectfully explained that they didn't feel comfortable accepting my ID. But the condescension and overall hostile and stubborn treatment made my blood boil. Between the poor interface with customers and the incompetence with discerning legitimate IDs, this establishment needs to do better. read more

Live music, Happy hour specials, outdoor patio and indoor seating -- lots of space inside. The staff was super attentive at our table -- not sure if it was because there weren't that many people inside or if we had the larger looking group too? The food actually looked decent -- I didn't try anything though because I wasn't hungry and couldn't spend much -- I had one $5 lemonade w/ vodka that came in a tall and skinny glass w/ a paper straw (*available upon request). Others at the table ordered shepard's pie, fries, onion rings, boneless hot wings, a steak w/ some veggies, tacos, nachos, etc. The wings smelled so good -- I could smell how spicy they might have been. The nacho dish was HUGE -- highly would recommend for large parties, especially if you're drinking. Would have stayed longer if my meter hadn't ran out of tiempo. In a great spot -- walking distance to many of the nearby parking structures, shops and restaurants. read more

On the 4th day of our family trip to LA Manhattan Beach, we were seeking breakfast and we passed by this place. I ordered the Highlander to try something different since I ordered an Omelet the prior day. I actually really liked it, the Mexican sauce that covered the potatoes with the melted cheeses aligned with the crunchy potatoes. The French Toast was decent and for my drink I got the freshly squeezed Orange Juice. Good place, if I do come here again, I want to try eating here in the evening. read more

Haunted mansion! Walking in this place reminded of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland! I know that is so random but it is true. It is because of their decorations on the left side of the pub as you walk in. They have various portraits with sayings underneath. It reminds me of those portrats you see inside the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. In addition to this the pub is kinda dark inside and a bit gloomy. Perhaps the gloominess could attributed to the fact that I came during lunch time and not during a busy happy hour. I came on a Tuesday with a friend for their 2 for 1 burger specials. Despite the Tuesday specials, there weren't too many folks eating there that day. It wasn't completely empty but definitely not full. It's been awhile since I've been to Hennesey's. It was actually first time at this location since I'd always go to the Hermosa Beach in my past visits. I was curious to see how this one would be. It has the same menu as the other locations and I chose to get the mushroom burger. My mushroom burger came with french fries and was presented open face. I was a little hesitant at first because my burger smelled a little fishy but perhaps it could be attested to the mushrooms. I gave it a try though and the burger was not bad. The patty was cooked well done and was tasty. The fries were perfectly crisp. When our bill came, it was only a little over $11. Talk about one cheap meal for two! Just for that I would say the Haunted Mansion err Hennesey's may not be so bad at all. Where else can you get two burgers with fries for just $11? :). This place is not bad but I do like Hennesey's Hermosa more for the beach like view. This place just has portraits for you to stare at versus a nice ocean. Hehe. read more

I don't come here for beer. I don't come here for mixed drinks. I don't come here for the social company. I don't come here because it's close to the beach and perfect for people watching. I come here for the grilled cheese. Oh yes, it's THAT good. Two pieces of sourdough bread blasted with butter and filled with so much cheese that it's overflowing onto your plate. It comes served with a cup of tomato soup and some potato chips. So...f'ing...tasty. It will leave you in a food coma. Seriously, don't get anything else on the menu until you try this thing. It will change your world. read more

I was expected so much more from Hennessey's. Our server was really nice and upbeat, but regardless, I wasn't able to overlook the food. Came here on a Saturday morning for brunch and we tried the huevos rancheros, buttermilk pancakes, and spinach scrambled egg. The pancakes were nowhere near fluffy. Tasted like it was cooked the day before and microwaved. The pre-packaged syrup was a disappointment. For $6.95 I was expecting so much more. The huevos rancheros was disappointing. Everything about it was wrong. The beans were not refried and no rice. Is this a South Bay version of this dish? The sauce lacked flavor. I personally did not taste the spinach scrambled egg, but it didn't look appetizing. With such a strategic location right on the MB pier, I was expecting so much more. For a night out for drinks, I can see how this place survives. For food, I have definitely experienced better. read more

I've been to a couple of the other Hennessey's locations, but this was my first stop at the Manhattan Beach one. New outdoor seating due to COVID is pretty nice if you go on a cooler day, but if it's hot out come early! We mostly wanted to stop by for drinks, but of course due to COVID we were required to also order food. The calamari was ... not great. Akin to chewing on deep-fried pencil erasers. But the drinks were bomb and the service was good! I had a bloody Mary (extra spicy, because duh), and a kamikaze shot, both were well-made. My fiancee had a couple palomas which she enjoyed as well. All in all not a bad spot, but definitely skip the calamari. read more

Decided to stop in for a bite while wandering around. Got the Irish Nachos and added Chalula & ketchup on top (don't judge). They were pretty tasty, thick layer of hot melted cheese on top with fresh toppings and thinly slices potatoes. Would definitely have them again, although they don't replace traditional nachos. The doorman wasn't so friendly but thankfully our waitress was awesome, very sweet. Thankfully they had good size outdoor seating, I love sitting outside, restroom inside. You can park along the street, didn't see parking lot. read more

They rather play an east coast football game (NE vs SEA) in most TVs than a local basketball game (Lakers semi-final game). The bearded male bartender was very rude and gave off Chad vibes. My friend and I left in discomfort after interactions with that person. It's understandable things are dynamic with covid and we took that into account and were mindful patrons. Relative to other customers, it felt like we were treated poorly. Giving an additional star only because our waitress was very kind & friendly. She checked in on us periodically and made us feel welcome. read more
