Wow! This spot sure has changed through the years. Promenade on the Peninsula has now been renamed to Promenade PV. It's still an open air shopping center but they're putting a big emphasis on community gathering. They do a lot of events like a Spring Carnival and Egg Hunt. They also upgraded the ice rink under the LA Kings brand. There's also lots of new restaurants. I found a new favorite via Pho Red Bo and I spotted a yummy dessert spot via Fika Fika Creamery. Though lots of change, it was nice to see Regal Promenade still here. This movie theatre was my go- to movie theatre a few years back and I have found memories of this spacious (not crowded) theatre. Overall, I was happy to visit the new Promenade PV. It's nice to see this outdoor area gaining more popularity and it's so refreshing to see the new restaurants and events they have here. read more

Opened first in 1981, the Promenade on the Peninsula is a multi-level outdoor mall in Palos Verdes, with its current name being used in 2008. It's main feature is an ice skating rink, named the LA Kings Ice PV, used for as a community rink for skating and hockey. It has free parking via a large parking garage attached. It is no longer a shopping center (a lot of empty storefronts), but more a community space for Palos Verdes, with a large number of restaurants, a bunch of sporting and gaming facilities, and medical businesses, including a large UCLA health clinic. We came a week before Thanksgiving, and a beautiful Christmas tree was up, providing some good picture opportunities. read more

My rating is solely based on Property Management who is the ABSOLUTE WORST! She refuses to help gather evidence of a crime that occurred, even while holding my police report in her hand. I gave her almost an exact time to look for and a brief description of the vehicle. She claims that it's wasting her staff's time and claims that a lot of cars pass through there. She said that she needed a license plate in order to look for this specific car...if I had the license plate, I wouldn't need her help! So incompetent! If you have any issues here, consider yourself SOL read more

Man, this place could be so great. But it's not. Love the free parking... quick in-and-out makes it great to grab a quick coffee at Misc Coffee or hop into the gym for half-hour. Aside from that... it needs people!! The bones are there for a bustling, vibrant place to walk around and spend money. Fuck Del Amo... this place could be GREAT. It just needs some "cool"... not a Chico's and a nail salon. But can we talk about the music that plays non-stop? It's like the credits music from The Shining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fN-Xjpd-qE or just mindbogglingly dated orchestra numbers from the 30's. I mean... WHY? Even if your target audience... that is, the shoppers you want to bring in to spend money... are people in their 90's... they don't want that music either. The oldest living 3 percent of people in the US were born after this music was being played so just what is the logic here? I'm not sure why but I think they are using it to actually drive people away... maybe they don't want skateboarders and homeless people hanging out and if they just drive out EVERYONE, it'll solve the problem? OK... gotta go... I am getting this sad vision of this guy (me) who is actually spending his time ranting about the music in a mall. read more

We grew up in the 1980's here before the explosion of Santa Monica Promenade shopping centers phenemona. Courtyard Mall was awesome, throughout all of the generations - an enclosed mall back then: the ice skating rink constantly popular, and the food court was popular. All of us in junior high and high school loved coming here. Our Parents happy to drop us off and spend some hours for themselves. Nice outdoor promenade, water fountain, Music, restaurants, inventive basketball lab, community music store, etc. Many businesses turned "woke" and political too and lost their business and customer base, unfortunately. Turning back to what always worked: possibly bring in new storesand wave customers back in. When the sequel to Top Gun Maverick, returned to the movie theatres during the corona shutdowns, it was the sole film that had BROUGHT BACK long lost movie fans and audiences .... who had sworn off the movies because of "woke culture" and cancel culture politics: Jaws and Back To The Future movie's Anniversary, and slapstick Naked Gun parody are being released in the theatres now - the demand for nolstagia and that which was lost (due to our mistakes or oversight) is a free market now and a niche. If E.T. was released in Regal theatres, it would do so well. Regal Theatres is a nice atmosphere. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-09-16-me-2186-story.html Both worlds can benefit the opportunity that this mall has - majestic, yet, forgetting the childlike, creative and unique imagination that made this hometown and city unique from another (remember the PV Records store? Vinyl records are returning) long missed is lost business to empty stores.) A child's larg clock and large Christmas decorations during the last Christmas time - the large clock outside of the skating rink and one of the largest labryinths in the world resides at St. John Fisher Church on Crest Road. The Peacock Alley is sorely missed by many generations. My younger brother reminded me the other day of stores such as the Nature Store, Vie De France (very popular then), the arcade by the movie theatres, .... On the Peninsula, there was also Rollin' Wheels (PV's first rolling skating rink - it was so much fun), Jolly Rogers, Admiral Risty's, the real old school Chinese restaurant Fu Yuan Low ... does anyone remember Peacock Alley and it's only surf shop called Kanoa Surf, a puzzle and game store selling Rubiks cube during it's craze amongst kids, Appetizer at Hughes Market before it was Ralph's market and Borrelli's Italian Deli ... Marineland with Bubbles the Dolphin that was recently found with residents coming together to donate to the restoration of Bubbles The Dolphin. The Promenade is a nice place to visit, to get away and lost - keep the good, PV values/throw out the bad .... what made PVP genuinely home was the character, small home town feel in a large peninsula, uniqueness, and personality. Our mascot is the Peacock. The Peacock is majestic yet unique at the same time. The development here tried to create a more majestic feel but forgot to include the heart and soul of the Peninsula - uniqueness and character that always made it feel like home at the same time. And in many places throughout the country and Los Angeles. (There was a Swensens Ice Cream Parlor, an actual Ice Cream Parlor here at the Bristol Farms shopping center. And there was an actual bookstore - Crown Books - too. The Straw Hat Pizza felt like an actual Pizza place back then where could come after school and with our parents and families and "hang out", replaced by Dominoe's pizza delivery store.) Like Redondo Beach, San Pedro, Hermosa Beach, Manhatten Beach, and some parts of Torrance ... the gentrication of Los Angeles and the South Bay is destroying its character through a sole Palos Verdes type Santa Monica Promenade. It hasn't worked because PVP isn't Santa Monica - the entire South Bay isn't either: Santa Monica is a large sprawling city with a large population designed to cater to very affluent Hollywood and industry types in recent decades - although Santa Monica wasn't always like that either until overdevelopment took over to compete when social media, and the internet arrived. Most stores and neighborhoods need a fresh coat of paint, working with high schools to help with litter at shopping centers (where is the money going to?), Neighborhood Watch groups again, DARE programs to help the kids from drug addictions (today, it is not whether you will become addicted, but whether you will die from drugs these days) - small refurbishment can do what five loaves of bread fed 5,000. After corona mandates tried to shut down stores almost permanently before a group of truck drivers drove to Washington D.C. and demanded Congressmen to end the mandates - it finally ended. Everywhere in L.A. including Venice Beach, businesses started to close after corona. Americans and America are known for invention and creativity in a crisis. read more

Splash pad is closed for repairs. Couldn't find that info online anywhere. Only found out when I got there. No info about when it will be fixed. Bummer, would probably get more people to this mall if this was up and running. read more

The good: This is a small shopping plaza with two stories and various businesses. There are children's academic and education programs, restaurants, a gym, salons, a movie theater, medical offices and clothing shops. Recently, a toy and game shop opened up. There's also an ice skating rink and daycare. I frequent this place for the simple and small splash pad that operates in the summer until 9 pm. My toddler enjoys it and I like how there are wooden lounge chairs shaded by super cute striped umbrellas. There's also classic Frank Sinatra music playing for ambience. The parking garage has ample space, is shaded, and has multi levels. The bad: This isn't exactly a mall though it does have some clothing stores like Chicos, Ann Taylor and Talbots. It's definitely a great area for families but it's not a traditional mall. The interesting: There's a sign for Luna Rossa Italian food but apparently it's just a private room and not actually a restaurant. I went up the stairs to look into it and it was empty except for tables and chairs. read more

The promenade mall has plenty of parking. As for shopping there aren't many stores left. Much of the mall is closed and pretty quiet. Escalators are even out of service. The only thing keeping it alive is likely the medical offices, ice skating rink and restaurants. They do have some great eats tho but for your shopping needs this won't be the place for that. read more

This is pretty much a deserted mall. It was probably poppin back in the day but those days are long gone. They have a few restaurants open there but as for shopping it is not the place to go. There's also a movie theater open there and a equinox as well. I came here to shoot some things with a few friends. I do photography and videography so if you're a content creator this place is heaven because of the nice scenery and not so much foot traffic. read more

Dead Mall Walking... Blocked off Escalators, Elevators that don't work, empty stores, it's a wonder that any of the businesses can stay open. The only plus is lots of parking, take a drive down the hill to Del Amo for a much better experience and selection. read more

Beware when parking in this parking garage. There is a crazy lady named "Christine" who rules over the parking garage. She had my car towed because I walked my daughter across the street to the Norris pavilion to watch a show, dropped her off with friends, and I proceeded to go to the movie theater, (and have receipts to prove it), only to come back and find my car had been towed. When I called to speak with Christine in the mall main office, she laughed in my face and told me that she "loves" the fact that everybody knows she's a horrible person and does all kinds of things to upset people, and it basically couldn't make her happier. She is a truly a troll in real life, and I would be really careful about parking here or coming to any businesses whatsoever. She claims she had the right to tow my car at the moment I stepped foot off the property, without any consideration given to the fact, I circled back and went the movie theater, and basically did exactly what I was supposed to do: park in the parking structure and use the facility there. I have since talked to management at the Norris theater, security guards from the Norris theater, security guards in the parking structure at the mall, and the manager of the movie theater, as well as others, and from what I gather, Christine is apparently one of those miserable people who is on a power trip, and absolutely can't wait to make everybody else around her miserable too. She's an older lady, who apparently has finally gotten her first taste of control in her life over this parking garage, so please BEWARE! read more

This review is for the parking structure only. UCLA imaging recommends this parking structure. It is free! The UCLA Medical offices and Imaging center is located in the north end of the parking structure on Level 3. It was hard to find at first because there is just a small sign at the entrance of the UCLA offices. If you have an appointment with UCLA Imaging or one of the medical offices, enter through Norris Center Drive and drive up to Level 3 and park as close to Norris Center Drive. There are small signs that show where UCLA offices are located. You can park anywhere for the Promenade for the few shops such as Talbot, Chicos and a few eateries. read more

For it being the only mall on the hill, there isn't really much retail shopping left. Ever since they converted this mall from indoor to outdoor, all the stores went away. Now, I come here to dine, visit the optometrist, and get the occasional labs done. Even though the Regal cinema is still here, I haven't gone out to the movies in years. The ice skating rink is also still here, but not open, due to covid restrictions. You don't have to worry about parking. There's plenty of it because, like I said, there isn't much to do here. read more

Came for the LA Kings Ice which is extremely nice and great for the kids. The rest of the promenade is pretty empty.

No change! For years the escalator from the second level to Regal Theatre has been invariably "out of order" The up escalator seems to be the "chief culprit" ... Whether it's "rain or shine" one can bet, with a large degree of success, either the up or down ... or ... both will be MIA A few years back I sought out the manager's office ... explained the issue ... got the response, "We're working on it" Apparently, not much effort has been expended ... "history keeps repeating itself!" I invited the manager to read the Unruh Act ... [California Civil Code Section 51 et sec.,] which sets forth the rules respecting access required for those of us who are now physically challenged ["disabled"] ... the response, "Oh, but we've got an elevator. And yes, there is an elevator, although almost with non-existing signage. Last night, a clear, cold night, the escalator was out of order AGAIN. Last night, it was a "bridge too far." One photo = 1,000 words" as the photo enlightens. read more

Regal Cinemas is the only thing in this mall worth going to. However, with the top level of parking now closed due to "structural defects" and no instructions on how to access the cinema for people with disabilities, it's impossible!!! I'd give it negative stars if that were possible. read more

What kind of lousy mall is this the elevators don't work the owners are a joke all the escalators are closed I had to carry my stroller and baby Down from the third floor then back up to our doctors.

A very eclectic shopping center with unique stores. In an area that is very scarcely populated.

This is another plaza that I'm surprised is still open. I've been coming here ever since I can remember- it's one of those places you just come to get away from crowds. It's super tiny and most stores are gone... and somehow I still like it better than Galleria! The highlights are the ice rink, movie theater, a handful of dining options, and Crabtree and Evelyn. These days, I appreciate the drive up the hill and just walking around, reminiscing my childhood days of ice skating with my cousin and of various dates more than actually shopping here. Pros: - location - parking - near other things - laid-back Cons: - most shops gone in favor of doctor-type offices read more

Went to see a movie there today. Was surprise that the parking area closes to the theater was closed. Like yellow tape blocking every entrance. When I got to the theater and my seat it was warm. No air conditioning. This whole mall is a shipwreck and it's slowing sinking. Why isn't the city helping? read more

Do you remember when this was an indoor mall? I do. What was it? Maybe ten years ago they reconstructed this mall and made it open-air? Good or bad, I don't know? But, it is very different from what it once was... Is this a great mall? No, not really... This is just your basic mall with your basic mall shops: The Gap, Banana Republic, and the various other businesses, movie theater, and restaurants -- many of which seem to go out of business. In terms of parking, there is a very large, multi-level parking lot. So, finding a parking spot never seems to be an issue. Do I go here? Sure. Is it the best mall ever? No. But, it is a mall. Go here if you need something mall-like... :-) read more

In reading the reviews for this place, my views are shared by others. For me, my issue is the maintenance of the escalators. The escalators going "up" have been out of order for years. It is frustrating for me because I have an issue with my hip so I really only get so many steps in a day til it starts screaming. I dont want to waste them trying to get to a medical office and having to walk way more than I should because the escalators arent running. Today was the last straw for me. I am wearing a boot because of an achilles strain. The elevator wasnt working either. It was my intention to email the company that owns this sad little mall as well as the mgr. Guess what? No email listed for either. Shocking. I see a lot of elderly people walking there in the morning and it cant be easy for them to navigate the out of order escalators. If you are going to only have them run in one direction, then by all means.....get the "up" ones working. Going down stairs is easy, its the up direction that can be a bit much. As well as not running, the steps on the escalators are always full of debris. twigs, bird feathers, dirt etc. Shortly before Pottery Barn left there, I was shopping in there and I heard one of the sales people talking with a customer about them leaving the mall soon. She said their sales were just fine, they make enough to keep the store running, but the mall is such a losing mall, that they are pulling out. The next thing I know, Williams-Sonoma (same co) left, and the Loft pulled out. read more

No wonder no stores want to come here it's AWFUL. The escalators don't work the elevators don't work. How does someone who is impaired supposed to get to the movies? The splash pad isn't working and the NASTY woman on the phone said it is. Or going to be working. And they will not be fixing it. Do not come to this mall. There is nothing there you can't find at someplace where they want your business. Stay away!!!!! read more

In high school, I used to work at a store in this mall. It has always been a sleepy little mall where stores close early. It is beautiful and there is an ice skating rink that is at the center of it. The parking garage is multi-level and there is always parking. Shops are random- Amuse (music store) and Peninsula Academy (tutoring place) is here along with Banana Republic and J. Crew. I probably wouldn't come unless I needed something from a specific store. read more

Empty business/medical/school offices disguised as a retail mall escalators squeak loudly no one around empty shops little ice rink is cool but bathrooms are old and dingy down a long hall that feels like a zombie apocalypse setting it was so depressing we felt we aged 5 years walking around after 5 minutes Parking can only handle cars under 6'8" read more

It's really like 2.5 stars but I'm being generous because it's a very nicely designed outdoor mall. The problem is that there are really no stores here and when I came here yesterday a lot of the stores were closed down! It's a good place to have dinner and watch a movie and that is about it! It's sad that the people that live in this area don't support this place by shopping here...but most rich people are cheap and that is why malls in high end areas never do that well. They have an ice skating rink here too which is interesting to watch for about 5 minutes. It always FREEZING here too which I don't like. Even on hot days there is always a cold breeze coming straight through here. Bring your sweater along you will need it. read more

This is one of my favorite places to shop! It's outdoors and serene, not crazy with crushes of harried shoppers. I tend to buy, not 'shop' - I like going to the stores I prefer in a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Promenade is beautiful and great when you want things from favorites like Abercrombie & Fitch, Crabtree & Evelyn, Pottery Barn, Creme de la Crepe, Equinox, Good Stuff Cafe, and Regal Cinema w/ 20 theatres. read more

Decent place but not really the best place around. Don't really come that often due to this. I'll give this place a solid C+. Only real thing going for this place is the location and the upkeep. read more

Oh no! What happened?! Upon arriving at the Promenade on the Peninsula with my bf, I was excited cuz it looked so pretty in the pictures! This place definitely had potential but it's like upscale death valley! Theres like 10 stores left in the whole promenade! The ice skating rink, I think, is a really good idea. It's such a shame that this place didn't succeed... It's really pretty to go and look at though but a little depressing since almost everything is closed down :( My bf and I went into J Crew to buy him some clothes for work and even INSIDE the store it was rather depressing and pathetic... half of the store was lined with empty shelves and they had little to no selection for the men's area... So sad. read more

Negative stars. The property manager is so rude. I wish I got her name but she's an older women. My sister has been posting flyers for us to find our puppies a home. We understand that when it comes to public places like malls & businesses you must ask for permission before doing so. That's exactly what my sister did. She asked the security mall if she can post these flyers up. They told her it was COMPLETELY fine & THEY WERE THE ONES who directed her on WHERE TO POST THEM. I get a call this morning from the property manager saying we cause damages to the property & she was going to report us & to stop. First of all, caused damage to your property by using duck tape to post the flyers? I didn't know duck tape can cause damage to a concrete wall but okay lol. Second report us to who? The security at the mall? The ones who GAVE US THE OKAY TO POST THESE FLYERS? that's fine. I tried calling her back several times to speak to her to let her know. What I find more crazier about the property damages we cause is I've been to the mall where kids are skateboarding on the stairs ALL THE TIME. The skateboards hitting the wall & the stuff. I would think that caused property damage. But I guess since were not paying for a spot to promote things there, it's "not okay". All I have to say is make sure you tell your staff the rules. Because if your security is telling us it's okay to post them, & they clearly seen us post them, then it seems to me that they thought it was okay as well. She probably was having a bad morning, miserable lady. But I did leave her a very detailed voicemail. Updated on the bitter property manager. She listen to my voicemail & gave me a call back. I explained to her how my sister did indeed talk to security & she said that "that's a lie" because she spoke to the head of security & they were the ones who brought the posters. But I couldve sworn on the first call she was the one who found it. Anyways I go on & tell her my 27 year old sister wouldn't like about that & if she'd like we can go in person & point out the person who gave us an ok. She said if we wanted me she would believe her security over us. They she continue to say it's "common sense that you can post these on private property" & i said "yeah I know i have common sense & so does my sister that is why she asked security". At the end she kept telling me if I had common sense, then when I said one last thing to her guess what the professional lovely lady did. She continued to say she reported me & i said " to the same security who gave us the ok to post these flyers." She told me she was super busy & has things to do then hung up on me. If you ever have to deal with this lazy I'll pray for you, she obviously doesn't like to listen. & that's fine to defend your staff. But the customer isn't always lying. read more

I haven't been to this mall since I was in high school. It's always been a low key mall. You don't really hear about this mall if you're local. I've been here twice while growing up in Torrance. This mall is super dead and needs an update! Lots of vacant spaces too. They have shops, restaurants, small ice skating rink, and a movie theater. The best thing here is their movie theater with super amazing lazy boy reclining chairs! So two stars because of the movie theater. Otherwise it would be a one star. read more

I haven't been to this mall in over 10 years. It's always been quiet, but it's not natural to see this many vacant storefronts. There are a few chain stores still here (Banana Republic, A&F, William Sonoma) but many storefronts are either vacant or have a non-typical business in this good sized 3 level mall. FYI, J. Crew is gone, and I believe at one time there was a Saks Fifth Ave here too. http://articles.latimes.com/1998/dec/18/business/fi-55164 I've seen this mall have much brighter days, and it makes me feel a little sad now. The retail business in general is hurting, and the newly modernized Del Amo mall is probably attracting the mall traffic, although it takes at least 20 min to get there from up the hill. FYI: The ice rink is still there. read more

ALERT: DEAD MALL If the Starbucks and movie theater weren't here, I don't think anyone would come to this mall. The sad part is, this place has such potential! It's beautiful, nice location, plenty of room to fill with top-notch retailers... I don't get why it's such a ghost town. Horrid mall management probably. You'll find a few recognizable retailers, Banana Republic, Gap, Claire's, A&F, and a few other's, but they're even usually empty. You feel bad going in because they're thirsty for you to buy something. I wonder how they stay open... The majority of the mall, however, is vacant. You'll find a handful of stores still operating. They have a few food spots but I can't name them off the top of my head, which probably says something about how good the dinning selection is here. Now the mall is being filled with dental offices and businesses of that nature. Sad. Put a Forever21 and an H&M in there (they're hot right now), other retailers will follow. I'll give this mall 2 stars because the movie theater is decent. Side note: The theory is the people of PV don't want this mall being any hot spot anytime soon because it'll attract crowds from surrounding cities, bringing along potential crime as well. So the mall is intentionally kept dead. But who knows. read more

This is a nice small shopping center. I can always find some good deals in Banana Republic or Gap. There's a lot of clinics than stores. It's quite shopping center and family friendly. There's also a skating ring and theater. read more

I love this mall!! I call this the "Mini Fashion Island of the South bay!" The Promenade at the Peninsula is an outdoor shopping mall that resembles the Fashion Island in Newport Beach. They have a Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew, White House Black Market, Abercrombie and Fitch and a Borders book store. They even have a really cool ice skating rink in the middle of the mall! They used to have a boutique Saks Fifth Avenue, but they closed it and there is no department store. This is a great place to do some low key shopping because its never crowded, plenty of parking and its nice because you can always find a good selection in their store. It was basically designed for the Desperate Housewives of Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates to take their kids shopping and ice skating on the weekends! jk If you are in the south bay, check this mall out if you like calm, relaxing and quiet shopping! read more

Haven't been here in a long time decided to come here to go to A&F to see if they had any hoodies left no luck but i like they layout with the parking garage they seem to have some cool shops and eating places and of course the ice rink. I may have to come here more often to walk around and get some exercise lol read more

Promenade on the Peninsula (aka "the PV mall") Its a great place really! I just wish more people would come here and shop. I come here at least 3 times a week and I love the fact that the place is nice and clean. There are about 40 plus stores and venders here (such as clothing store, tutoring facilities, a movie theater and an ice rink). The place seems alittle small from the outside but when you have to actually walk around it is quite big. I have never really seen this place crowded so it is a great place to shop at stores where you know they have you size. For example, the Abercrombie & Fitch here always has the shirt and pants I want with my size, if I had shopped elsewhere they wouldn't usually have my size. So really convenient to just come here first and grab everything I want all at once. There is always security walking around when I am there which makes me feel safe. I love the Equinox facility there it is very clean and the staff are always friendly. I also love the fact that there is plenty of parking space in the parking garage. I have yet to see it completely packed on all the floors. Overall, very close to home, clean, safe what more can you ask about an open mall. read more
