As soon as we entered, we got such a wonderful, welcome and good service. They have a spa water station where you can stay hydrated as long as you want. They make customized cocktails. They don't have a cocktail menu. We ordered chicken wings, and garlic fries. Both were superb! very tasty! The bartender was amazing and very friendly. We will definitely come back if we are in the area. read more

I've never seen a bar work so hard to avoid being a sports bar while actively showing a World Cup match. The game was on every screen, but the audio remained off. The only exception was after a goal, when the broadcast volume would briefly come on for about a minute before being replaced by music again. After several repetitions, it felt less like a technical decision and more like a statement. If the owner doesn't want to host soccer fans, that's completely their prerogative. But putting a World Cup match on the TVs while intentionally suppressing the experience people came to enjoy is a strange middle ground that manages to satisfy nobody. The result was a room full of people watching one of the biggest sporting events in the world while being reminded every few minutes that the bar would rather they weren't. read more

When I'm in town for work I love coming to North End Bar & Grill to unwind with a Guinness draft and club sandwich. It's very laid back. Bartenders are great. Just don't go on a night when the Dodgers or Rams are playing--you'll never fond a seat. read more

BEST. BROCCOLI. EVER. With garlic. Do not sleep on the broccoli. We will be back and ordering the broccoli read more

Perfect neighborhood pub, the staff are helpful, the food is great and not just burgers ans wings. The salmon and ribs are surprisingly great. Great prices and fun atmosphere. The place gets really busy for big games so get there early. read more

The garlic tots and fries alone are enough reason to swing by. They steal the show as I got them as a combo with the chicken caesar wrap for around $12. Wrap was just OK, but for those spuds and value I don't mind. Service is friendly as well! Only real downside would be that street/metered parking can be tough depending on when you go. read more

We sat outside and enjoyed some beautiful weather. Service was great as was the food. Will definitely come back read more

I just moved to the neighborhood and have been here twice. Both times the men bartenders/servers have been completely rude and off putting.

Outstanding all around! I was warmly welcomed, even wearing my Montreal Canadiens jersey, there to enjoy some good food during the Kings / Habs game. read more

This local dive-y bar and restaurant is a great casual spot to stop for a bite or drink. Their menu is pretty large and reasonably priced with both breakfast and lunch/dinner options. They also have a huge drink menu and specials. The food was filling and the service was quick! Separate from the indoor bar, they have an outdoor patio in the front, so you can easily bring pets or your bike while you eat. read more

Came here today and it was packed. The server told us the food wait was one hour. We were ok with that so we waited. Our food came out over an hour later, everything was great. Except until I heard the waitress apologize to the table next to us for the long wait and that she discounted items due to the long wait. Not sure who this lady was or why she got special treatment and discount but everyone else on the patio that waited over an hour for their food DID NOT receive a discount. I know when she sat down because she snaked the table I was waiting on. Won't be supporting this business again. If you're going to discount someone for waiting over an hour then discount everyone!! read more

Milo is the man! Great local place with very welcoming atmosphere. Food was great. Brought my Dad and Son and Wife and many friends! All were impressed. Will definitely be back. Perfect spot for a stop on a beach bike ride. read more

Great local bar with exceptional burgers. Outdoor seating is fantastic but bar works too. Lots of tv's.

Great dive-ish bar with great service and great food! The wings (about 8 per order- should be a dozen) are great although they need to serve a dozen per order. Who wants to eat and be hungry after? Also- when you order a burger medium rare- it should be the correct temperature. They keep messing that up and they come out dry and overcooked. Please fix this! read more

Sat outside and enjoyed a decent lunch here! Tuna melt was good although different than what was described on the menu (missing onions) but still tasty. It was a busy time at the bar and so a request for water went unanswered but there is a fountain inside where you can get your own. Outdoor seating was plentiful...needs a good cleaning of the soft surfaces but for a quick lunch it was a great stop. read more

Absolutely 0 customer service, I sat myself at a table and was trying to put an order in, i was ignored and finally got someone to speak with me about taking an order and they disappear, will not be coming back read more

My go to place for breakfast when we want to eat casual. Wanted to order food tonight, but nobody answered the phone. Sigh... read more

I was looking for a drink priced less than $16 and Yelp didn't steer me wrong with this great spot. Friendly neighborhood bar and grill, a few patrons sprinkled throughout on a Monday night at 7:00. After a couple of rum and Cokes, I decided I was hungry. I found a salmon dinner on the menu for about $20 less than I would have paid a couple blocks over on the pier. I was thrilled with the side dish options and chose the salmon blackened with sweet potato fries and sauteed spinach. It was excellent! I read a review that said this was 'better than bar food' and I agree! Even their homemade ranch was spectacular, so give them a try! read more

South Bay institution. Great local crew that is very inviting if you're chill. Their food is some of the best around town.

The food is good. The service is the only reason I can't give it a good score. You have to be there all the time to get good service. The reason the service is bit that great is due to the amount of people at that location. It's always packed. The ambiance is awesome. GO KINGS! read more

The service is on point as well the food too. The two Bartenders had a full place, yet they took everyone's orders and no one got made or had to wait long. They know their drinks too, so if you haven't been,what are you waiting for! Go, you won't be disappointed. I had the baby back ribs, so good the meat falls right off the bone. read more

This bar/location is a longstanding watering hole in Manhattan Beach, it was Critters prior to becoming The North End Bar & Grill. Over the years I've been here several times, it is akin to a local dive bar. It is also a proud Kings hockey domain on game nights. During the summer, or, on a nice day/night they have a basic outside patio area, which is adjacent to the front door and optimal as a hydration station. This has been a stop for me on my bike rides during the day, and a last call option at night. The bar itself is smallish, but has a few offshoot rooms, one has a red felt pool table and several stools (12) along the walls, and another is just a little cubby hole. They otherwise have 20+ stools around the circular bar and several (10?) high-top tables that can accommodate 4-5 people. The biggest challenge here is that it can get crowded, and you will need to place drink/food orders through the bartenders, so don't always expect table service. Reading the reviews, this challenge is often seen as poor customer service, and I understand why. You really need to have a chillax attitude here. On my most recent visit (12/19) my group came to watch the Kings beat San Jose, 4-1. GKG! However, it took them a bit to get the Kings game on. Apparently, they utilize DirecTv, and on this night, the game was on Hulu/ESPN+ only. It resulted in a patron getting behind the bar to help solve the problem BUT resulted in the game being shown on one television only. Understandably, people, errrr fans, were annoyed. On the upside, my friend described their food as, MUCH BETTER THAN BAR FOOD, and he is correct. A lot of locals enjoy coming here for dinner, and I understand why, the food is really good. On this night I crushed the North End Burger, which was cooked to perfection, and they NAILED the tater tots, golden brown and perfectly crispy. The side garnish items for the burger were also really fresh. Top shelf burger! My friends had the salmon which was reportedly delicious and the Turkey Club which also got rave reviews. Bottom line, the food here is really good. My night had a little stumble at the end, Kayla, who had been attentive and friendly throughout was annoyed with me when I asked if I could cash out our tab at her convenience. I'm a polite individual, and I was in no rush, I was simply wanting to express my long-term need to cash out. My inquiry got a terse reply, "As you can see, I'm cleaning glasses!" I never did see Kayla again or get my final tab from her. Maybe I caught her at the wrong time, but the interaction was oddly frothy. read more

Don't let the fact that it looks busy for you because it's just the fact that the kitchen is behind and they are gonna take forever to serve your food. Been there on a Sunday afternoon. They took one hour and a half to serve the food and we didn't get our food. Employees are very rude. read more

It's just a great local sports bar. Food is solid bar food. People good and location is sweet. There's no seat where you can't access multiple tvs read more

Honestly this review is well overdue. I have been a regular patron for about a year now and to be frank, I don't know what took me so long and why. The service for me personally has always been phenomenal but recently seeing Julian and his chill personality really makes it worth the visit. Food is always delicious. So good I never get to take a picture. Flavoring is incredible. Along with their generous portions. I'm very big on dive bars and finding my foreverhome and you can't go wrong. The ambiance is definitely local spot drama free and very inviting. read more

I came here with some friends on a summer day and the experience was so originally SoCal. The service was great. The people were even better and the food was exceptional for the price. Most importantly, the servers and, in general, workers at the restaurant were attentive and kind. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Great food, Great Service and great prices. What more can you ask for. A great little neighborhood bar. Is it a dive bar. I guess you could say that, but to me just a neat place. read more

Just had fabulous lunch at North End Our bartender/server Dominique was beyond awesome They don't pay her nearly enough

Delicious breakfast! Great place to watch a game. Bloody Mary's look good enough to lure me back!

Food 4.5 star Ambiance 3.5 star Service 1 star I've been here several times but I have to admit the last two times the service has not been good at all. We sat down outside and had to get up to get a waiter to come out and clean the table. Then again we had to get up and go inside to get the waiter to come out and take our order. Once our food was delivered no one ever came back to check and see if we needed anything. I think it was because we did not order alcoholic drinks because everyone around us they were all drinking alcoholic beverages, we're all being waited on again and again. The food here is always good so once we finished eating again we had to go inside to order the ice cream cookie which we had already told our waiter we were going to order but he never bothered checking on our table so we finally got our cookie and yes those are delicious! And then again we had to go inside to get the bill! I was almost tempted to just walk away, I'm sure they would have never noticed . read more

Love this place! It's the perfect place to stop when you're on a beach bike ride. We always sit outside and love all the different specials. Their ranch dressing and buffalo sauce are both really delicious. The staff is really kind and attentive. We always feel welcome. I love the chicken tenders, tater tots, Caesar salad, and buffalo chicken sandwich. read more

Love this place. Total local joint, good food, reasonably priced drinks. 0 tourists. Broccoli cheese soup and off menu grilled cheese - money. Fun little joint where everyone seems to know each other. I don't know them, not a regular, but I appreciate it. read more

Stopped on the weekend for brunch. Nice outdoor seating arrangement - it's got the more local, beach vibe so not super fancy. The pub/indoor area looked busy even at noon so am guessing people mostly hang out to drink or watch games. We ordered chilli tater tots bowl & huevas rancheros...the food was just okay. Wouldn't mind hanging again for the ambience, but not the food! read more

Great locals bar & food way above pub grub Summer can get overtly crowded it's literally like sardines gasping for air in hot & crowded marina only drawback read more

Love this place - North End Bar & Grill! Why? It's a divey spot with a fun vibe, cold beer, good food and friendly (sometimes inefficient) service. I enjoy a good place to hide out and swill a few brews, then eat GOOD bar grub when I'm hungry - NEB & G is the spot! Add some TVs with sports and a pool table for people watching and you have a winning combo. 5 (divey) stars! read more
