    Delicious lobster roll
    Lori G.

    Great service! Good selection on menu! Needs more of a draw and energy here. Maybe live music or something more.

    Connecticut Roll

    My friend loved the lobster roll. Grilled cheese was okay, would have been better super hot but I think they waited for the fries to be done to bring it out. Waitress was super friendly! There is parking in the back too which is very convenient! Inside is a dark vibey dive bar! There's also TVs. Outside are cute patio tables.

    Had the best happy hour lunch here!!! Came with a group of friends and ordered a variety of things to share and everything was great no complaints. The barbacoa fries are the best appetizer and we loved the lobster rolls. Drinks were strong and a great price Service was fast we were so surprised how quick are food came out it's more of a dive bar than a sit down restaurant though so if you're looking for a fancy dinner it's not that.

    In West LA or on your way to a beach day? Grab a lobster roll from Lobster & Beer Love that they have both outdoor and indoor seating -- indoor gives chill beer vibes, while outdoor lets your kid burn off some energy Best rec: Double Loaded Lobster Roll with tots plus lobster tail sooo fully loaded and fulfilling! My little one loved the mac & cheese and banana pudding. Love how they really consider all needs!!! IG: socalhkfoodies

    Lobster Mac & Cheese
    Jenny Z.

    Ordered for pickup and it was ready in 10 minutes! There was easy street parking and the server was nice. Clean interior with plenty of seating indoors and outside. Delicious lobster mac and cheese! Sooo cheezyyy, creamy, and perfectly chewy macaroni with a mix of shredded lobster. Very heavy so perfect for sharing. The Connecticut lobster roll came on a buttered toasted roll with pieces of lobster and mayo. A bit small but had fresh lobster and was presented well. The lobster quesadilla was $20 and not really worth. It was cheesy, warm, and tasty with shredded lobster but too pricey. Definitely a splurge yourself and heavy meal but would totally come back for more when craving some hearty lobster. yummyyy!! :)

    Came here after a kickball game and everything was pretty good! Inside is a bar vibe where you order everything at the counter before sitting. My sangria was great. The classic lobster roll was yummy. I really like the calamari fries as well. Overall, a great experience. I wouldn't go back if I'm in the area

    Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here in this little cafe like restaurant!! The vibe is more like a divey sport bar but the food was delishhhhh. The lobster rolls are super fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place when you crave a good lobster roll!

    BEER-y excited to discover this CLAW-some new hidden gem for some of the most affordable and fresh seafood in West LA! @lobsterandbeer is a divey neighborhood bar that offers an extensive beer and seafood menu, as well as amazing happy hour and taco Tuesday deals. As someone who LOVES seafood, I was blown away by the quality and freshness of the lobster, clam, fish, and shrimp that I tried, and thought every dish was well-made and priced very reasonably (my most expensive dish was only $22, even without happy hour discounts). My favorites were the Connecticut style Lobster Roll and Fried Fish Tacos, although you definitely can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Service was also very friendly and attentive despite the casual nature and busy atmosphere of this joint, and I really appreciated how the employees took the time to converse with local neighborhood regulars and new customers alike. This spot is definitely my NEW favorite spot for fresh, lovingly-made seafood, and I highly recommend checking out both their locations in Palms and Santa Monica! Featured here: Connecticut style lobster roll * Clam Chowder Beer battered jumbo shrimp Fried fish tacos *

    Maine Style Lobster Roll
    Noesh H.

    One of the biggest hidden kept gems on the west side. I was so amazed by every entree we received. The seafood was incredible. The Lobster Roll was the best item on the menu, and I highly recommend it. Service was above and beyond, along with super friendly staff. They have plenty of outdoor (patio seating) and indoor (bar seating). It was nice to dine at a laid back, seafood restaurant and really enjoy the food! Will definitely be back.

    Awesome food, great music, and a solid beer selection. I'm from Boston and take my lobster seriously, and this place absolutely delivers. Highly recommend.

    Lobster taco (I already ate the other ones!)
    Shaun L.

    Great taco Tuesday deal with fresh fish and lobster tacos. Not a ton of food but definitely tasty and refreshing. You order at the counter and they'll bring your food over. It's a small enough place but they have seating inside and outside.

    There is a category of Los Angeles bar that exists outside the city's relentless cycle of openings…read moreand closings and soft launches and Instagram hype, a category that doesn't require a door policy or a design concept borrowed from a Wes Anderson film. It is the bar that walks in and earns the neighborhood's trust in a few short years, the bar that feels like it's been there forever because it figured out immediately what it was supposed to be. Tiny's Hi-Dive on Pico is that bar. It occupies the old Arsenal space, which if you've been in West LA long enough you watched go through its own identity crisis -- I had a trip-hop DJ residency there in a previous life, before it transmogrified into some paisley-wallpapered ersatz club that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Tiny's has no such confusion. The name says dive. The floors say otherwise. The cocktails are made well, the food is made well, and the place is clean, which shouldn't be noteworthy but in a city where "dive bar" has become shorthand for either performative squalor or actual squalor, it is. It's a Chicago bar, which in Los Angeles means something specific. It means the hot dogs are correct. It means there are Italian beef sandwiches, and the Italian beef sandwiches are not a novelty item or a nod to a trend but an actual offering from people who understand the architecture of giardiniera and jus and thinly sliced beef on a roll that's engineered to get soggy at exactly the right rate. The food at Tiny's is way better than it has any right to be in a bar where nobody would blame you for ordering nothing but beer, and this is the tell -- when a bar kitchen is good without needing to be good, it means someone in the back actually gives a damn, not because the Yelp reviews demand it but because that's how they were raised. The happy hour lasts most of the day, which is either a business model or a philosophy, and at Tiny's the distinction is academic. The effect is that the place fills in waves and each wave brings a different crowd. The retirement set drifts in around lunch -- guys who've been coming here long enough to have a spot at the bar and a drink that appears without being ordered. By happy hour the mix gets eclectic: locals, people waiting out the particular misery of westbound Pico traffic at five-thirty, students, the kind of neighborhood cross-section that only happens at a place where a beer and a hot dog won't cost you twenty dollars. Later it gets busier and louder and on Wednesday nights there's live band karaoke, which is the superior form of karaoke, the form where actual musicians play behind you so your version of "White Wedding'" sounds ten percent less terrible than it would over a backing track. The jukebox is killer, which is a small detail that is not a small detail. A jukebox tells you everything about who owns a bar -- whether they trust their customers, whether they have taste, whether they understand that the difference between a good night and a great night is often just the right song at the right moment. The owners of Tiny's understand this. They are truly excellent people, the kind of owner-operators who are in the room and who care about the room and who have built a place that reflects something genuine about themselves rather than something calculated about the market. West Los Angeles is not a neighborhood that gets romanticized. It's a place you drive through, a stretch of Pico and Olympic and Santa Monica Boulevard that connects the Westside to the rest of the city, lined with strip malls and dry cleaners and the kind of mid-century commercial architecture that nobody photographs. It does not have a brand. It does not have a moment. What it has, on Pico, is Tiny's Hi-Dive -- a bar where they learn your dog's name before they learn yours, where there are treats behind the bar, where the bartenders will ask about your dog when you come in and mourn with you when they pass. That's not a pet policy. That's a value system. And it tells you everything you need to know about the place.

My friend went to the bar to close the tab, when the bartender realized another bartender had given his ID and CC to another guest, who was a regular by the way. We spent the rest of the evening calling the CC company and waiting for the bartender who made the mistake to come back and try to fix what he had done. The woman who was assisting us wasn't very nice and seemed annoyed with us, telling us all we had to do was call the CC company and stop the card. We explained my friend would also have to get a new ID. I was wondering how something like this could happen, especially when they said it was given to a regular customer, when the bartender said he was hung over and didn't notice. They said they would get the items back and mail it to my friend. Once they got the items back, it took them months to mail it. Could have been a cool experience, except this place needs to really reconsider their staff. Dine or Dash? I wouldn't even give it a second thought and dash on down the street.

The fries were not what I ordered (I asked for sweet potato fries and got skinny fries) but I like all fries either way and the skinny fries were good. I ate it alllll.

While my bartender was very kind a super cool, the food is now a HUGE disappointment. The large order used to have 4 large pieces of fish, now it's only 3 small pieces that are heavily breaded with some sort of chewy/gummy dough. The bread is super tiny and barely equivalent to a small slice of a tiny French baguette. The carrot cuts are also much smaller. Way to ruin a good thing. Save your money and drive out to Malibu Seafood to still get that authentic pub style fish taste. Come for a drink, but no the fish. It's not the same classic taste that used to make me drive miles for. Of course, I ate it because I was beyond starving and hate wasting food but today may forever be my last hooray as the fish is what drew me here. It was always cooked to perfection and taste, but alas those days are gone. New ownership? I don't know but pinching a penny should be worth losing folks over lesser quality food. I beg of you to fix it. They also provide suggested gratuity based on total WITH tax. Check your bills as you should only be tipping on food service.
