    Hibiscus Margarita with salted rim - delicious
    Kristina H.

    Food is absolutely delicious! I just wish I could try it all at once because everything on the menu sounded so good. Will definitely need to come back.

    Actually so mad that I didn't try Lobster & Beer in Palms earlier. Great happy hour menu. The lobster tacos and quesadilla had the perfect ratio of meat to fixings. I enjoyed the coconut shrimp as well - would probably skip the calamari fries next time just because I don't like it in fry format lol. Service is also amazing and warm. Parking is super convenient with street parking + garage in the back.

    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

    Callie S.

    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

    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.

    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.

Five stars all around, I can't recommend it enough! It can definitely get a bit busy though so expect to wait a bit during big events!! Grab a seat early and manage your expectations as there aren't a ton of employees everywhere. If you call ahead of time before any big events the owner Paul will definitely accommodate you, and make sure that you have a great experience. Love this place and the vibes.

When we finally got back to the front, he told us, "What did I tell you two? You can't come in. You don't follow instructions." Meanwhile, all six girls we came with had been allowed inside. As the only gay couple in our group, it was hard not to feel like we were being singled out because of that. When one of our friends spoke up for us, we were then told we were never welcome there again. Discrimination comes in many forms, but tonight felt very clear to us. There were multiple witnesses and videos taken of what happened. I genuinely hope the owners take this seriously and review the incident, because nobody should be made to feel this way simply trying to enter a neighborhood bar.

UCB was also on my schedule to support my comedian friends on stage. Back then, I'd catch a comedy show multiple times a week - and I realized I really miss that part of me. Laughter is sunshine for the soul and it makes me happy to get my daily stress out with some giggles. *** COMEDY x SPORTS BAR *** To keep with the Yelp Elite's 2026 theme of doing more hobbies, I decided to tap into one of mine, which I almost totally forgot about. So when I heard about HOLLY STARR'S OPEN MIC night from one of the guests I met at The LA Breakfast Club last month, I thought I'd check it out. I was in the Culver City area on a random Tuesday and wanted to avoid LA traffic back to the Eastside. *** THE PUB STUFF *** Joxer Daly's is a great sports bar with lots of TVs, a decent-sized stage with seating area, and some fun games in the corner. Every Tuesday at 8pm, that stage is set for LA's comedians who want to try out new material in an intimate setting. There's a ONE DRINK MINIMUM, which isn't hard considering they have a slew of brews on tap, one cider, and a full bar with top shelf choices & well drink specials. There's also bar food to snack on. Since I was drinking Guinness, it also served as my dinner for the night. *** THE DEETS FOR COMEDIANS *** 7:45pm. SIGN UP. The FIRST 10 to sign up, get center stage and all eyeballs focused on them for a dedicated amount of time. What I liked about this crowd is that everyone was really cool and it felt like a community. Some of the comedians were friends, some were stopping by to just test their wit. Some jokes landed, some not so much. Either way, no hecklers in this crowd and everyone put on their big boy/girl pants to show their respect. All the support was genuine. And it was all very inclusive with a he, she, they in the bunch offering diverse POVs and different styles & punchlines. Other highlights: From what I heard, there's always at least one professional, touring comic at the mic. So you never know who may show up. (This is LA of course.) Also, no need to search endlessly for a spot or feed a meter while anxiously checking your watch because there's plenty of FREE STREET PARKING, which is a luxury on the Westside. And laughs are also complimentary. Perhaps one day, I may dare to step up to that mic, but I'll need to excavate my pent up mommy issues or let another decade or pandemic pass. For now, I'll hide behind my laptop and save the stage for the real comedians in LA trying to make it & make me laugh -- even if I am the butt of their jokes.
