Menu 1/8/2024
Maggie W.

If you're looking for a sports bar that's divey and has decent happy hour options or if you're a 49ers fan - very nice to Michigan fans too - this is your spot. Feels like you're at your grandads, has large booths and pretty spacious, and the staff is really friendly. There are a lot of TVs and plenty of screens to comfortably watch a game. The only thing that threw me off was the menu I was given for a place called "Eric's Cousine" not Eric's Cuisine. My only question is who is Eric's cousin? If he made my chicken quesadilla, it was great for bar food, I wouldn't say it was cuisine but it was really good. Go Blue!

Tables, big screen and televisions everywhere

First time ever at a Niner meet up and Schooners was a perfect spot for it! Great food, drinks, service, and Niners all over the place!! Will definitely be coming back!! Only negative: lower the sound on the speakers. My right ear is still ringing.

We went to check out this spot because we heard one of our old friends did karaoke here following everything opening back up in Cali. Come to find out, it's only on Friday but we were there on Saturday. Anywho, we opted to chill and have a couple of drinks and listen to the amazing music playlist playing. The staff was very friendly, attentive and very social. A very welcoming vibe and the drinks are done right and at a great price. Definitely will check this place back out soon on Fridays for karaoke but as a new spot to chill, reflect and enjoy great company.

I recall in the last two decades this was a Mediterranean bar, Chinese restaurant, Jimmy's Bar (featured on Bar Rescue) and in the past few years, it's Schooner's. Friends invited me to Karaoke(Starts at 8 pm) on a Friday night. Thankfully, for the patrons, I did NOT sing. There's an interesting mix of folks here. From the silver-haired who are given priority to sing earlier in the evening I the same room with a diverse group of Milennials. In the sports bar area where I sat, you can't see the Karaoke. The screens are all games. It's worth getting up to check out the crooners. There are also many local regulars who walk over. Drinks are reasonable priced. My Vodka soda was decent and so were the wings I ordered. Parking in the lot but there is a small parking garage below as well.

Fun place to go for karaoke. Open late at night. You write the title of your song, in the artist, and your name. They have monitors everywhere. You can sing anywhere.

Great prices. Better than McDonald's. Paid $7 for a hot dog and fries. $5 for a shot of liquor.

Plenty of parking on the plaza…read more Came on a weekday night during Happy Hour. Place was packed. Ambiance was nice. Music was extremely loud, had to yell to have a conversation. Waiters kept checking on us. Got the mild Buffalo Wings for $14 and Parmesan Fries for $6. The wings were good. The Parmesan Fries were really good, they didn't skimped on the Parmesan. Both dishes were small and came with ranch sauce. Got place to watch the games with friends. Not the place to have a conversation. Happy Hour was Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm and 10pm to closing at midnight. Karaoke night was Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10pm to closing at midnight.

I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

The staff were nice and attentive. My wife had about 5 margaritas because of how good they were. She stated that they made the margaritas tasty and well balanced. I had a Michelob Ultra and was happy it was marked up, it was $6 compared to $14 at Universal Studios. My wife ordered the sweet chili wings and she said they were really good compared to some of the wings she had at other places. My bestfriend, daughter, and I had the smash burgers and OMG were they good! They werent all crispy and burnt like other places ive been too. They were juicy and well seasoned. They were so good that I ordered a second one with a draft Pacifico. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area. The prices are very reasonable, the food is beyond delicious and possibly the most delicious food you will find on the pier. The interior is a bit small so be sure to show up in the afternoon to grab a spot if you are planning on staying into the night. Around the night time they have live music! That came as a surprise to us.

Would recommend for anyone looking to stay local, people watch, and enjoy the boardwalk.

I was genuinely surprised - nearly scandalized - by how difficult it was to find a neighborhood…read morestronghold that not only knew what a Rusty Nail was, but also carried the Drambuie to make it correctly. This place did not merely have the ingredients - it had the reverence. Justin mixed it with the calm precision of a man who understands that some drinks are not trends, but traditions. "Ah yes... the Rusty Nail," say some. "Old, Archaic, Weathered," say others. Let them speak. It is one of the oldest cocktails in recorded history. Gifted by Bonnie Prince Charlie to Clan McKinnon, Drambuie has been cherished and revered in the Highlands since the mists of time gathered - borne through glens, over bens, and carried through generations of clansmen. It is not for the timid. It is for those who have watched storms roll in, seen vast armies gather, and still laughed in the face of death - because they know that their bloodlines are carved from stone. For after all - The strength, courage, and battle across centuries cannot be wrong. Drambuie warms this Highlander's heart . Sweet as legend, fierce as loyalty - akin to firelight of a distant hall hidden in misty glens. Aye... the Rising of the '45 is a tale for another night. But this night belongs to the Rusty Nail.

The sauteed mushrooms are definitely the best thing we ate, had a lot of flavor and loved the bread…read moreit came with! They gave very generous salad portions The grilled salmon was good, well cooked and flavorful. The green beans were definitely overcooked. The ribeye was good (needed some salt though) definitely better with the horseradish than the chimichurri. The ribeye with chimichurri was a special, but the chimichurri did not have much flavor. The baked potato was good, the mash potatoes were ok, I expected a stronger garlic flavor. The shrimp was flavorful but overcooked. The mac n cheese was not creamy, it seemed like just cheese and noodles. Very oily but a generous portion. Overall the best food imo was the mushrooms and salmon. The service was very slow, but they were understaffed so our waitress seemed to be doing all of the work. She was very apologetic about it This place is very old school, and definitely appeals to an older crowd.

The staff were friendly without being in-your-face-I-want-your-tips, but attentive at the same time with menus arriving quickly and fresh drinks timed perfectly.

As a first timer, Google maps got us driving around and around. Just remember that the bar is on Sepulveda and parking is in the back. Alittle frustrated. Lol Overall it was a good experience. They can work on their staffing for lunch hour. Maybe add one waitress to cover lunch time.

I believe that Holiday's matter, not as days that drive chocolate and flower sales, but as…read morereminders that whimsy should be celebrated to make life a bit more colorful and joyous. Scrooge might say "Bah! Humbug!" to festivities but, in other hand, say "hab gubmuh" to the days and seasons that bring mirth, hanging streamers and disco balls into our life, lest these be left in grayscale. That is why I was attracted to this bar because I wanted to know be drenched in red and pink glamour while all the way celebrating that very special feeling of love. As, soon I entered the door and saw the exaggerated decorations on the roof and on the walls, my immediate thought was "fun," not corny, or please with these hanging hearts and neon lights. Thus this place owns the trip to love land without apology, and I for one, say that this means that the festive goal hoped for hit heart center. I also went relatively early, in terms of bar crowd hours, and was surprised that the place was full to its arteries. Truth be told, that is why, I ticked one star of my overall rating because this place is cute and a vibe, and a worthy scene, but it is also small and packed to the point where folks are proverbial sardines in a tin can. But more on that later, right now, we start with what gave me anchor in place: their pool table. There is no place to sit, amidst the crowd, I automatically assessed. Where can I be to find my place? So I went to the table and played pool. I appreciated that the place had clearly articulated rules and procedures for play, which removed ambiguity and created a climate of respect toward the game, which allows for pool games where appropriate and competitive game play reigns. I managed to order a drink on theme for the night: a Misty Kiss. It was the bartender's suggestion, after I asked for their sweetest cocktail. When she first suggested it, I thought she said minty kiss, and thus when she delivered the drink, I was expecting some kind of shamrock shade. But then I heard the appropriate pronunciation- misty, not minty. I wondered when a literal misty kiss would be appropriate and beautiful? Then I remember scanning a picture book of love pictures, and one was of a woman saying goodbye to her sailor as he shipped of to fight in a world war, and I realized that the sadness in her eyes as she said goodbye was a form of a misty kiss. I took my Misty Kiss and played a game of pool with a guy named Matt. He revealed that he played every day, which explained why I did not stand a chance against a daily player, balance in talent simply did not exist. It was hard to find a spot to place my drink, which tasted swell, and was on brand for the evening, and quite stiff! It was hard to find a seat or a spot for me to call my own. And it was for others as well. I saw people going to the bathroom and needing to allocate themselves in near hunches to avoid the sticks of pool. And out in the crowd, people were huddled on the floor, not sure where to be so they could feel like they had a space of their own and did not bump with others. But there was no way to avoid bumping into others, and it was a mission to find a spot. That is why when I saw a table for two open up, I did a mad dash to an empty chair, like a fool in love who rushes in. It is at the chair where I could not only see but stop and admire the paper roses of the place. As my pictures show, the place truly did not limit itself from embracing the spirit of Valentine's day. For instance, they had this wall of decorations, with hearts, orbs (white, red, pink) teddy bears, and so much more; it was a tapestry hung just right for the occasion. Of course, people wanted to use the wall as the backdrop but with so many people, this too, required a wait and navigate plan. I did help some folks out by taking their pictures. I was not Cupid but in these moments I did hope that my aim was true. In the final analysis, I immensely appreciated the decorations, and all of the folks who dressed for the occasion, because it gave texture and meaning to the decor. But the tight quarters limited the love I can give to this place. However, I do know now where to go, where I want a themed drink, and environment to boot.
