Tacos Tuesday (beef, chix, pork or fish) for $2 each is a pretty good deal considering that these were large tacos. The tacos retained a lot of juicyness. I would definitely go back for the tacos. There are also a lot of TVs to watch the game (we watched Man U v. Chelsea). The staff was friendly and service was good. read more

This is the place to go for taco Tuesday. The tacos are huge. I ordered two tacos thinking nothing of it. But after eating one and a half tacos I was hurting. The carnitas taco is great. The fish taco was a bit fishy and dry me but I liked mixing the two together. My friends and I were lucky to get a table pretty fast. There were people writing for us to be done. The happy hour margarita was just $3 and hit the spot. read more

The food was awful. And the owner was so mean. I asked one of the workers if i could use the bathroom, and he said yes. So we walked in to use the bathroom and he banged on the door so loud non stop. It sounded like he almost broke the door. I was in the middle of peeing.. I opened the door and he yelled at me and called me a "fucking cunt". Glad i never have to step foot in this place again. Never been disrespected like that by a old man. disgusting. i literally thought he was going to break into the bathroom while i was using it. read more

OB's has recently become one of my favorite places to go for Taco Tuesday! I 'd say it's my favorite and I'd give them 5 stars if their deals on alcohol were better. $3 for a smallish margarita is just an ok deal. And their beer deals are nothing impressive. They have the best $2 tacos though! Their tacos are so big and so good! The chicken is my favorite. I've also tried the beef and it was good, but I couldn't finish it because it was too spicy! I usually like spicy food but they were spicier than I could handle. I've only been here once on a non-Tuesday. I got the Julie sandwich, which is a french dip. And it was just as yummy as their tacos! read more

A couple out-of-towners walk into a bar...no, this is not some lame joke. Hopefully not a lame review, either. We were in from IL, looking for a place to watch the Michigan game one Saturday. One of Scuba Steve's buddies lives down the street from OB's, and told us it was his go-to bar to watch sport. Enough said. We cruised in a they had all the games one, windows and doors open, so we had college football and air flowin' ever-where. It was awesome. Brunch was pretty good - can't remember the name of what I ordered, but it was one of their omelette things and it was really good - as far as bar food goes. Drinks were flowing (Marys are spicy, so be forewarned) and before we knew it it was time to go. I'm leery of too many people going there because it's pretty small, and here in Chicago sports bars are always ridiculously crowded on weekends, so it was nice to be able to cruise into OB's a grab a seat. Immediately. Totally relaxed vibe (although we were in Cali, so that is totally to be expected...ahhh, I miss the home state!) and the people there ranged from an old salt transplant from Chicago (what are the odds we are sitting right next to THAT guy!?!?) to a couple douches who were wearing sunglasses. Indoors. When it was overcast. Talking about some girl one dude got it on with last night. But then there was a cute family in the front hanging out doing the brunch thing, and a couple in the corner talking wedding plans. Told you the place was small - you can hear what everyone is saying - so if you don't have something nice to say...well, don't say I didn't tell you. Next time we're in town, we'll make a pit stop at OB's - you should head there too! read more

This is a cool bar in Manhattan Beach with dive bar qualities but a bit larger and cleaner, with the exception of the peanut shells on the ground, but hey, free peanuts, so can't complain! Taco Tuesday: One of the better taco tuesdays in the South Bay that I've been to. Large tacos, again, burrito-like, but better than those bite-sized tacos that you get at other places (to be named later). The fish tacos were good, and at least you feel like you ate something healthy afterwards. The carne asada ones weren't bad either. It is absolutely PACKED here on Taco Tuesdays, but with the new Sharkeez opening up next door, who knows how much longer that will last. But Sharkeez is getting a bit overpriced with those tacos, I will have a review of this. Stir-fry: Don't knock it till you've tried it. Very tasty stuff, and HUGE portion, you can try to eat half of it and save the rest for later, but this stuff is like crack, or Lay's potato chips, and before you know it you will have eaten the entire plate. I ordered the one with beef. Bathroom: I'm going to start giving reviews on the bathrooms at some of the bars. I've had discussions with friends about this, and OB's deserves dis-honorable mention. Sorry, I don't care how drunk you are, I'd prefer not to watch a guy take a leak while washing my hands. Time to put in a pony wall or something between the urinal and the MIRROR that is above the sink where you wash your hands. Go there and you'll see what I mean. read more

***4-star dive bar*** Vibe: It's a loud and fun dive bar. "Veronica" played Friday night and she rocked the house. It was little cramped. Drinks: The bartender entertained our 'made up' drink requests. Service: Our drinks were always full. Excellent service. Food: Didn't eat, just drank. read more

OhYA! Super cool spot. Service great! Like the set up inside. Food good. Nice variety. Great place to be cas and kick back. Parking lot across street. Meters. read more

Large dinner menu with all kinds of choices. Comfortable bar environment with sports on TV and good kids menu. Salmon dinner was tasty, and rice bowls are nice alternative to pub grub. read more

We were driving along the coast in the rain looking for a place to stop for a drink and just stare at the ocean. We ended up in Manhattan Beach and in front of this place call OB's (which is the name of my favorite beach). We were greeted by a server at the door and noticed that there were very few patrons. Everyone that was in the bar was staring at the televisions. At that time, there was a low speed chase going on in the LA area. This seemed to consume the attention of the staff and caused some slow service. The server came over and took our drink order. She mentioned that it was happy hour and that they had some food bites. She pointed out one main thing on the menu... the grilled shrimp. With lime and garlic glaze, these shrimp skewers were calling my name. I had to get them. They were so juicy and tender. Flavored very well and actually pretty large portions. Overall, it was a cool place to stop and enjoy a drink, a light bite and stare at the ocean. read more

It was a basic bar, not very good lighting in here (kinda too bright/flourescent) and it smelled weird. I did like that they serve Blue Moon by the pint, with the orange slice. They also have Boddingtons by the pint. Good beers! We got nachos w/ chicken - good generous portion, plenty of guac & sour cream on the side, and a lot of chicken. The waitress was pretty friendly and all in all 5 pints and the nacho order came to like $33. read more

Chicken Wings, meaty with a kick and tasty ranch dressing. Need I say more? Oh and the price is right! Make sure to get a handful or two of free peanuts from the barrel. Yes FREE! read more

The friendliest server (she's Irish, sorry I forgot her name) combined with the tastiest tacos, all at ridiculously low prices make for the BEST TACO TUESDAY EVERRRRRRRRRRRR. My friend and I had 4 tacos (each a chicken and a steak- hard to say which was the better choice) and 4 beers for $23. Great place for sports too. They have peanuts you can help yourself to and throw on the floor- it's kind of fun. Awesome time, every time. read more

Great spot to catch a game with buddies. Usually have a great mix of games on, but do not have the out of town games, just local and nationally broadcast. Love the Tuna Melt. Tuesdays are terrific, $2 tacos are huge for the $. I really like them but can't eat more than 3. Eat ten, get on the wall. Beer and margarita specials are excellent. Service has been always great, even when it's crowded. Great neighborhood vibe and friendly spot. read more

I go here every UFC fight because it's the only place I know of that doesn't charge cover. Combine that with unlimited free roasted peanuts that you scoop up yourself and OB's, you've made yourself a local for life. I've never seen the floor of this place because it's completely blanketed by peanut shells. They might not even have real floors, it might just be stratified peanut shells that have been compacted by patrons over millenia. Yes, the customers used to be dinosaurs. Not a place you come to do fine dining, but I love it here. read more

Excellent neighborhood hang-out. Seats by the window are coveted and almost always filled. Good burgers, steak, chicket. Basic pub fare done right. read more

Heres the deal.. I would give this place 5 stars because there's really nothing bad about it-- but sometimes I think that I go here way too much because it's 2 blocks from my house & we can always get a seat for any decent game we can't get at home.. Brunch is the best deal in North MB next to Sharkeez which is prob a better deal but is gross-- I love that they give you the whole tiny bottle of champagne with your mimosas and not a splash of oj & gut rot champagne.. Anyway.. Besides the wings everything I've ever had here is great & they have nightly specials including happy hour every day-- stop by..!! Awesome apps, salads & burgers.. I am getting hungry:))) read more

Such a fun, chill place. Ida was our girl and she is amazing!! She makes you feel like family and went out of her way to make sure my group had the best time!!! read more

The service was good. Ordered a beef mexican nachos, the portion is big but it wasn't executed nicely. Over it's a meh. read more

A dive-ish bar with excellent food. The good- Excellent food selection, good quality food, great location (1 block from the beach), very lively during big games and taco Tuesdays, plenty of HDTV's, friendly staff and nice neighborly atmosphere. The bad- Parking can be tough to find, no air conditioning which might be an issue during hot summer days Overall this is a really cozy, friendly, cost competitive (compared to higher end places in Manhattan Beach) watering hole. I've been coming here for years and I would rank the quality and selection of food to be the best among all bars in El Porto. They do get very crowded in the weekends during the summer and when they do service can be a bit slow. However, overall this place is still my #1 choice for a bar in El Porto. read more

Great place! They have nuts in a barrel. So help yourself to the peanuts . The drinks were cold and the price was ok ... 5 dollars for a bud light . The bathrooms where small but clean. As far as the food. I had a cheese steak sandwich. It was ok. But I would come back. read more

Nice bar to watch games and have a beer. People are friendly and staff are cool. They have karaoke on Monday's night and it can get really fun. read more

I was just there last Saturday for the NCAA tournament and this place was happening. The place was packed but somehow we scored a booth with perfect views of the many TVs hanging off the walls. The food was great and the service was reasonable considering the large crowd. I had the 1/2 pound blue cheeseburger with bacon...yummm, craving it right now. The restrooms have TVs so this place is definitely a good spot to catch a game and there's a big barrel with peanuts for all to take. And you can just toss your peanut shells on the floor! I would definitely hit this place up after a day at the beach. read more

Went to OB's again last night to watch the UFC and have dinner. The place was packed with fans from both the UFC & NCAA Basketball Tournament. My friend and I had dinner and it was everything we hoped it would be. The staff was super friendly and quick with service. I am sure this is not the last time my friend and I will go there. read more

Great atmosphere and great PUB STYLE FOOD.. Lots of locals go there and are super friendly. Drinks are not served week! No need for cookies and milk when drinking here... Military friendly also. Always appreciated by the patrons with thanks.. Real good home town pub. read more

OB's is a long-time Manhattan Beach hangout. Great burgers, great Tuesday taco night, free peanuts. Lawrence, one of the regular bartenders is also a part-time stand-up comic and keeps everyone laughing with his stories and antics. Highly recommended. read more

Another bat in MB. Nothing spectacular to report. Free Peanuts is the only perk. Food: 2/5. Low end bar food. Drinks: Standard fare. Service: NA . Price: $ Interior: 2/5 (Whatever) Exterior: 2/5 (Nothing sexy) Park: 1/5 (Street) Go Back: If you're thirsty.. Recommendation: Sure, if you're looking for a local dive bar. read more

OB's is a solid neighborhood bar and restaurant. I try to hit it at off times....during the week and during the day, etc., as it does get fairly uncomfortably packed at peak hours (e.g. the weekend nights). It is particularly fun for weekend breakfasts. I generally get the Old Surfer's Rule omelet, the bangers and eggs, or the breakfast sandwich. All just essentially kick ass. They also have a taco Tuesday, and the tacos are way tasty. I particularly enjoy the pork tacos. The chefs know their stuff here. And they have some challenge where if you eat 10 of the tacos you get them free, and your name on the wall. I tried it once and failed miserably. I think I made it through only 6 tacos. They are huge and are prepared with double tortillas. Steve the owner takes his booze seriously and is a real decent guy. He has an impressive selection of bottled beers (many obscure, foreign brands), with some of the more general stuff on tap. There is also a large bourbon and scotch selection, and even bottles of Fernet Branca and Ol' Raj Gin on hand (both of which are stocked thanks to yours truly). read more

we enjoyed visiting this pub a couple times while we were in manhattan beach! The wait staff was fantastic! Steph was really helpful with helping us map out or stay in manhattan beach! We ran into her a couple days latter and she checked in to see how our trip was! The food was great. Wait staff above and beyond! Burgers yummy! You will have a great time! read more

I'm in town visiting some friends and this place is walking distance. We stopped in for drinks not realizing it was happy hour (how great!?). Their apps are half price during hh and they offered $5 shots and some discounted beer. We had some buffalo chicken fingers which were pretty good but the fried zucchini was yummmy. It had a tempura style batter. The bartender was friendly and very good at her job, I believe her name was Zamora. I'd like to stop in again before I leave! read more

I love that place. Been there many times, and even though the service isn't always great, specially if they are very busy, most of the time it is. The food is very good, the atmosphere is very nice. Taco Tuesday there is great, big tacos! But it can get very crowded, and hard to find a spot (not a bad thing, just be prepared, or early). read more

Great food Great service Would recommend this for breakfast Today's bread and pancakes were a little dry. But the portion are huge Ham steak was great, eggs cooked perfect. Coffee was great and plentiful Had the ribs on Monday's night and they were awesome which is why we came here for breakfast. read more

OB's...you may not be full of the customers cutting up, laughing, eating peanuts and having a great time BUT!!! Thank you for the incredible fish taco dinners you hooked me and my family up with! They were fantastic! Man I miss the opportunity to hang out and watch baseball but at least we can support you by patronizing your restaurant. Thank you for the excellent meal! read more

Place is in dire need of a facelift and so do the patrons. Food is mediocre at best with a typical bar menu that isn't even done very well. Think tourist town crappy food and that is what you will get. Service is also really bad. Taco Tuesday is the worst don't go. read more

Nothing fancy, more like a dive bar, but I like it. You feel cozy and relaxed. it's a good place to hang out with friends, and maybe watch a game on TV. They have specials during the week that makes it even a better deal. Also they have free peanuts and I love peanuts..... read more

WORST FUCKING SERVICE. Don't bother coming in. It's packed, there is 1 cook and it took us over an hour to get our SALADS. They messed up my order then gave me attitude when I said take it off the check I'm leaving. read more

Went here to watch NBA playoff game. Server was good. Food and appetizers came relatively quickly. However I ordered tito's and was most definitely served a well liquor. I absolutely cringe when I taste the difference. I had 3 drinks first one was most well liquor, second one was actually tito's and the last one was well liquor again. It is common when bars put well liquor into the more expensive (tito's) liquor bottles and it drives me crazy as that is LYING to your customers. Also be aware of this because something like Tito's is a gluten free vodka and well liquor is not gluten free. They are very lucky I don't have actual celiac disease and could have had a serious issue over it. I did not bring it up to our server (I hate complaining and she didn't pour the physical drink) so it is not at all her fault. Ordered nachoes, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and chicken fingers as appetizers. The mozz sticks tasted cheap along with the chicken. The skins were okay, the nachoes were AWESOME!!!! The nachoes are saving this review from being a 1-2 because I am so mad about the liquor I was served. Best nachoes I have had in Manhattan Beach so far. read more

OB's Pub & Grill - AMAZING NACHOES!!!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Place is brutal. They put on their door and on the walls of the bar that they have trivia at 8pm. Turns out, no trivia at 8pm! It was moved to 9pm even though they have a chalkboard saying it's at 8pm. The service is terrible too. I couldn't recommend this place less. Save your money, save your time, and go to some place that has competent ownership. read more

Any place that has a food challenge is pretty much awesome in my book. I found out this place not only has a $2 taco tuesday, but a taco freaking challenge!!! A bit of advice, if you're going to try this, be prepared! Don't eat at a buffet for lunch and then come to this thingy around 8pm for dinner the same day hahaa. For some reason, I thought I could still do it, but NAY espeically since I only had two hours to do it ( You can start the challenge at 2pm and it ends at 10pm). You must eat 10 tacos (these aren't no street tacos either they are pretty big) that has lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and your choice of meat (chicken, fish, and beef). You can choose to have one topping removed. I picked cheese, I felt it was the least fullfilling out of the three. I could only do 7.5 tacos ;( I went from going at 2 minutes a taco to about 30 minutes a taco hahahaha. Man, no T-Shirt and my name on the Taco wall for me ;( I will be back though! It will be one of the first things I do when I get back to the States and it will read Jenny the Tapeworm hahaha :P read more
