    Their judgment is really poor. I dropped a glass and i wss willing to pay for it. The guy with the broom said it wss ok. When i came to ask for another beeer the guy at the main bar said i was too drunk to ask for another beer. I tried to explain the circumstances but iñthe judgment was already made by the bartender who didn't see shit!

    Low key, laid back dive bar that is a local favorite according to our friends who live here. Great views, open air, and they have at least 100 beers on tap plus live music. What's not to love?!

    Great service, oozing with talented staff (maybe you will hear some original music!) and great beers right by the water. Come in and say a while. You won't be disappointed!

    Exactly what I needed today.  The bartenders are amazing.  The vibes are really calm and make me wanna Art.

    Ambiance So apparently Yelp does not Appreciate my level of Stoned right now and requires less brevity. The beer is Very The Good. The Music is Very The Good. The lighting is more excellent. I have sensitive eyes, this is what I want at Night

    Cali squeeze
    Erica C.

    Came up from SD to visit my good friend and she said " I'm going to take you to my favorite bar" so here I am enjoying a Cali squeeze enjoying this gorgeous day out. Caught the ending of the NLDS game 5 which the Dodgers lost btw...low key applauding. ‍ cheers!

    Guy who grabbed my drink and threw it on the floor because I wanted to charge my phone.

    Rude. Aggressive bartenders. Nowhere to charge phones. Threw a beer at me that I had paid for because I wanted to charge my phone. Take your business elsewhere!

    A pint and a Park Burger
    Linda C.

    Stopped in for a pint and ordered a Park Smash Burger. What a tasty burger, crispy and tasty! Grilled patty topped with grilled onions, cheese and a garlic aioli on a fresh sesame bun! Opted for a side of ranch dusted onion rings as well to share. The burger was juicy, the onion rings slightly over done but crispy, crunchy and still delicious! The service is always nice here and the beers cold. Usually a nice view of King Harbor but today it was raining but perfect for a pint and a tasty burger! This place is a SouthBay Institution with capacity of 88 beers on tap though sometimes the tap list falls short when they run out or are waiting for deliveries. It's a pier bar, it's divvy but lots of character. Jukebox and sometimes they have a band.

    Nice bar with live music and a great beer selection The bartender was nice and helpful with my questions too

    The Smashburgers are bomb! So is the friendly service and fun divey atmosphere. My fam loves the food here. Super casual right by the harbor area. We've tried the LA, Park Place, and my fave, the Island Burgers. These consist of double thin patties cooked to a nice char. We like the plain fries and this time tried the mozz sticks. These sticks are thick, melty with a crisp coating and a nice cheese pull. These look home cut too, not frozen. Of course you have to down at least one of the many beer selections here. We got Big Wave Dave this time. We parked by R10, a little faster and less dim than through the covered parking lot. Will be back again!

    Very good selection of beers but can get pretty crowded and music is very hit or miss. Worth checking out though, if you haven't.

I recently came in on a weekday before the dinner rush hour since the top floor tends to fill up QUICK. 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.

    I really didn't want to have to write this. I'm not someone who enjoys complaining, but after this…read morehappening 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.

So, this afternoon's walk, my friend and I decided to stop in - not quite lunch, not quite dinner ... the best of both! First, the best view, sitting outside with the perfect balance of sun and shade and a view of the ocean. Next, truly one of the best service experiences - Danny! He made a great first impression and just kept raising the bar - his recommendations were spot on. His knowledge of the menu was so helpful and he seemed to truly take joy in making us happy. We shared the Tuna Tataki, Crispy Popcorn Cauliflower, Sweet Potato Fries, and as if that wasn't already over the top and enough ... the Rocket Calabrese Salad with Hanger Steak. I never order steak as I usually don't enjoy it. Danny ensured us this would be the best pairing for the salad and he did not lie! It was cooked to perfection. I might now be a carnivore! We were so full and yet I couldn't leave a leaf, crumb or morsel behind. Oh and because we were talking about tequila - he encouraged us to sample their house infused tequila (infused with pineapple and mango). Oh my! Yeah, I'll be back at a more appropriate drinking hour. This might be my new most favorite spot in the South Bay! Service+FoodQaulity/Taste+Presentation multiplied by the View (Vista) = Formula for Success! Thank you Danny, Crew and Chef!
