I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch. 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. read more

Plenty of parking on the plaza. 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. read more

I had a great time at Torrance Tavern! The highlight was definitely trivia night, they use the King Trivia app, which was super easy to navigate even for a first timer. I enjoy that they host events like this to keep things lively. ​Food-wise, I'm sticking with the buffalo boneless wings next time. I've tried both the traditional and boneless in their "hottest" sauce, and honestly, it's very enjoyable and totally bearable, more like a standard buffalo heat level if you ask me. I like the boneless more. The Philly sandwich meets expectations, but I was actually more impressed by the fries! They have that "McDonald's style" skinny, crispy texture, which is my personal favorite. Plus, they offer free refills on sodas. ​tip: If you're feeling indecisive, the menu highlights in a highlighter color of their fan favorites. It's a good place to start. read more

After taking in a Tball game, was in the mood for chicken tenders so thought TT should be a good option. Good call on my part. Very different vibe than the evening crowd. Very chill. And the tenders? Moist, juicy and great crunch. Fries were so good, they were great even after cooling off. The ranch dip was spot on. Service was attentive, friendly and professional. Cheers! read more

Friendly staff, great food and great spot to watch a game (football or LA Kings Hockey)! The staff are always smiling and work well together teaming up to make sure you're always helped. The food is always tasty (the Chile Verde Nachos are so good, and their Philly cheese Steak hits the spot every time). And tip: order the Chile Verde Nachos and take the leftovers home, throw them in the oven and top with an egg in the morning (suggestion from our waiter once and now is our thing every time we come). There are plenty of TV's, karaoke twice a week and just a great local place to come to! read more

Ordered through Postmate. I really think I ordered the wrong food. May give the place another try. Breakfast burrito - 2 It was big but it was basically a big tortilla filled with a lot of potatoes. No meat (I almost broke my tooth on what may have been a slice of bacon). The menu on Postmates did not describe what was in the burrito otherwise I would have ordered meat. Quesadilla - 3. Overpriced Cheesecake in a jar - 2 Didn't really taste anything close to cheesecake. read more

Torrance Tavern is a great sports bar. It is a good place to drink, good for bar food, and good for watching the game. Recently, one of my adult kids was looking for a place to watch the NBA championship. He had a member of his party that is not yet 21. He chose Torrance Tavern because they are an all ages establishment. They even have a kids menu. read more

A local spot, my first time here. My burger & fries were delicious. The onion ring tower? My group could have eaten more than one. Wings & salads? Outstanding. Great selection of beer on tap, along with a full bar. Service was not rushed. I would imagine the tavern gets loud with sporting events on the many TV monitors. read more

Food good, service ok slow wth 1 person for first hour ...wasn't full at game time but was told will have to move us if the world cup people come in with a bigger group unbelievable ...they told others they couldn't have 2 tales either we sat at individual seatting on long bench with stool seats. It was not a place to watch a cup game no excitment since older and kids for a usa game no specials like other places. read more

Torrance Tavern is a lively restaurant in a busy shopping plaza. We were seated near the door and the place was packed Friday night. The food was okay - I had mild wings and grilled cheese (not pictured). Both were fine, but I do with the cheeses were more flavorful considering they were on sourdough. (It just didn't stand out). The Sammy was also rated as okay and the overcooked fries didn't do it any favors. However, the Tamarango drink was excellent - spicy and tangy without being overbearing. Maybe other menu items can be sampled on a future outing. Service was pleasant and appropriate given the sizable crowd. read more

Cool local spot! TVs are everywhere to watch a game. We arrived towards the end of a Lakers playoff game. Dining area and bar was busy and exciting with fans cheering and sighing when a call didn't go the Lakers way. Unfortunately the Lakers lost in a very close game. We comfortably sat in a booth. The Chile Verde nachos were delicious w/shredded pork, creme fraiche, pico de gallo, beans, and cheese. I tried a bite of my hubby's 90505 burger and that is something I would order. It had beef, bacon, avocado, lettuce, and tomato. Nice and juicy burger. Garlic parm fries were tasty too. The surprise was a cheesecake in a jar-- raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cheesecake, cream and graham cracker crust. So delightful and delicious! Great service! There were two servers that were kind and attentive despite how busy it was with the Lakers game. There was also a baseball game on and Jeff Corwin's animal show perfect for several families dining in. They have Happy Hour Monday through Thursday 4-7 and a trivia night. They are located in a large strip mall not facing Hawthorne Blvd. Plenty of parking. On another visit or visits, would like to try the fish and chips and the Philly cheesesteak. There are other desserts on the menu that I may share w/the hubby again! Would love to support local biz and be back! read more

A bit LOUD yes, we missed the food cut off as we got there too late so next time will try the food, we got there around 11pm and kitchen was just closing typical bar food I would say? We had a couple of rounds and then took off will have to try the food NEXT time! Loud Music, drunk crowd, what more to ask for its a dive bar, LOL! :-) read more

My friend wanted to have drinks and food and the first thing that popped up in my head was Torrance Tavern. I remember having delivery years ago and the food was absolutely delicious, but the items I ordered years ago no longer exist on their menu unfortunately. I thought the place was bigger but it isn't. It's in a plaza with ample parking. You walk in and you seat yourself. There's of course the bar area, booths and high tables. The vibe feels older crowd for sure. I ended up having the southwest crispy chicken salad and I loved the chicken strips so much I ended up getting an order of them with sweet potato fries. I paired it with honey mustard. It was like a match made in heaven honestly. I don't know how they fry it but it was probably the CRISPIEST chicken tenders I've ever had. I try not to be the person that gets chicken strips at a restaurant but this is an exception for sure, especially paired with alcohol PHEW what a combo. I also tried the Chinese chicken salad which was also pretty scrumptious. I ended up finishing my friends salad as we switched 1/2 way through our salads. To drink I tried the Torrance Tai I believe is what it's called. Basically a Mai tai. The first few sips were good, but then after that it was straight alcohol and I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I left half of my drink because of how strong it felt. If I wanted to get a good buzz going I would've finished it, but I'm personally a light weight. The customer service was underwhelming. The waitress had no sense of enthusiasm or friendliness and only checked on us maybe twice over the course of an hour+. I couldn't find her when I wanted to order the chicken strips, but eventually she popped up when I was done with my salad to order them. I'd come back for the chicken strips and sweet potato fries but that's it. read more

This place is trash! The nasty waitress who thinks she's the owner, scares people away! The food is mediocre, there's nothing g here but location.

The food was amazing--every dish we tried was delicious, and the desserts were especially good. But the drinks truly stole the show... absolutely the best!! Definitely recommend the espresso martini with your dessert. The ambiance was just as impressive--such a great vibe, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the day. We also loved that there were plenty of sports channels, and the Dodgers game was on, which made my mom so happy. A huge thank you to the amazing women who took such great care of us. We really needed this day out, and you made the experience even more special. We couldn't have asked for better service! read more

I have never had a better experience at a rowdy packed bar. My drink was never empty. It was akin to Michelin Star Service at a Torrance Bar. When someone takes that much pride in their job, it shows. He knows who he is. Thank you brother for your attention to detail, a seemingly effortless ability to manage a full bar, and your hospitality that was profoundly appreciated. #34 Valenzuela. read more

On weekend mornings, I appreciate a good breakfast burrito. Today, I tried the All Day Breakfast Burrito at TT. Definitely a hearty burrito. Good quality tortilla. They use a home style potato. Looked like they used cheddar cheese. It does cost extra to add a protein or avocado. The salsa does have a little bit of heat. read more

This fun place has a really good fish and chips. We found it during Covid and we still come back. Fun ambiance.

I came to Torrance Tavern for the first time this past Friday afternoon & had such a great experience. As soon as we walked in, Daisy greeted us with the biggest smile. Honestly, we've never had service like that before. She made us feel so welcome & right at home. My family can be pretty picky, but Daisy was super patient with us & gave awesome recommendations. We ended up trying the nachos, the sweet chili wings, the Philly cheesesteak with garlic fries, the steak salad, & the fish & chips, & she was spot on. Everything was so good. She was really attentive the whole time, always checking in & making sure we were good, & our drinks were never empty. Plus, her smile seriously lights up the room. Thanks so much, Daisy. We'll definitely be back! read more

We specifically went to get some burgers since we had great experience getting a delivery from here before. Foods are great! Burger tasted super delicious, they became one of our favorite burger place now! I'm giving 4 stars only since the service was lacking a bit, it took them for a while to get us menus and our server never checked on us how we were doing, not even once! There was another lady who I believe she is a bartender asked us how we were doing but it wasn't her job to check on us. We definitely go back there for their food but I just hope the service will be better next time. read more

Clearly I found a new place to watch a Dodger Game! The theme of this place is so neat as you enter. The vibes here are super chill and great to come hangout with friends or just a dudes night to catch a game. The amount of excitement here for a dodgers and yankee game was even better than being at the game honestly and cheaper if you ask me. We sat by the bar cause it was a bit full but didn't mind the Bar at all. Wish I had gotten her name but the Young lady that was working the Bar was Absolutely phenomenal in every way, she was attentive, fast and kept checking on everybody there excellent customer service. I was a bit hesitant on reading the food reviews before I came but I like to find out for myself. The food was great! We got their Basic burger with fries and the meat was juicy and well balanced with all the toppings and was warm when it got to us along with the fries that were seasoned well. The Cubano was so good and better than other places we've tried them at and that also came with fries. They had a good selection of beer on TAP and also a big plus for me they had June Shine for those who don't care for beer and like Hard Kombucha they have the P.O.G & if you don't care for beer they have a full bar if you want a mixed drink or wine. So Win Win for everybody. The Dodger Themed won me over and was super cool with the Garden Lights and loved all the TV's they have cool other events like Karaoke and Trivia Tuesdays so they have a lot to offer. Def recommend checking this place out. The bathrooms were clean and the staff were great and working hard to get everyone seated. The parking is in a big shopping center so it might take a few times circling around to find one but nothing too bad. Go Dodgers! read more

Husband, son and I went on a Sunday afternoon. The place was not too busy, there was a sign saying to find a seat. As soon as we sat we were greeted and given a menu. There were tvs all around with different sports on. Very casual vibe. My son ordered a tavern burger, my husband and I shared the chile verde nachos, the buffalo sandwich and buffalo wings. Everything was delicious. The Chile verde nachos had very good flavor, the wings had a good crisp and coated with the buffalo sauce, the sandwich was really good as well. The gentleman told us their Philly sandwich and the fish and chips are also good so we plan to return to try those. read more

Came here for some late night drinks with friends. They had a great late happy hour deal although I didn't see the check so unsure if we got the deal. I ordered the seasonal pumpkin spice espresso martini and it was good. Definitely had the right flavor and was pretty strong. I also got the Parmesan fries, they were yummy but were very greasy from the cheese and had quite a bit of Parmesan. The service Was alright, a bit slow and they forgot two drinks at the end. But cool joint! read more

My boyfriend and I visited Torrance Tavern this past Friday to watch the Dodger game. While it was extremely busy, our servers kept checking on us which we appreciated :) Here is what we ordered: Onion rings- I freaking loved these onion rings. They were really crispy and the onion did not slew off the breading Tavern salad with shrimp- This salad was plated so nicely and it was yummy, but it just tasted like a regular ol' salad. There wasn't a wow factor even though I added shrimp Wings- Now these? These wings were immaculate. The right amount of crispness and crunch. They were nicely tossed and the flavor was amazing. 10/10 Nachos- These nachos had a lot of toppings which is a plus! The meat was tender and flavorful Overall, I would definitely be back! There are plenty of parking spaces even though it is shared with several other businesses read more

Celebration for a friend and the gang got together. They were accommodating for the party of 10 even though the place was packed. Large shared parking lot for the strip mall. I think this used to be a pizza place years ago. Staff was friendly and attentive, which was appreciated since arrival times, drink orders and food orders varied. A few in our group very very thirsty and hungry - yahoo!! Happy hour 4-7 Monday - Thursday The staff also assisted in taking group pics and bringing plates and utensils for the serving of a cake that was brought in. Thank you. Drinks and food were delish. With such a large party, it is still wise to check the bill and keep tabs of what people ordered as we were overcharged. It was worked out with the staff but use those eagle eyes to check it yourself. Ok, bye. read more

Great place to watch a game! (For us, Olympic soccer--U.S. women vs.Germany.) Started with a plate of wings--fried, as they should be--half classic Buffalo and half Asian, per the bartender's recommendation. Both excellent, with the Asian wings bring a little bit of sweet heat. Then a Buffalo chicken sandwich, a Tavern burger and a Cubano, which is new to the menu. All tasty, but the standouts were the Buffalo chicken (moist, crispy and flavorful) and the Cubano (a little different take, but still really good). No rotating taps even though it's on the menu, but an Offshoot hazy IPA and the always classic Elysian Space Dust kept us hapoy. A solid sports bar vibe with plenty of TVs and attentive servers. read more

Best Fish & Chips and good beer too. Very friendly wait staff. Always packed but no problem parking.

Parking is in a commercial strip mall you shouldn't have a hard time finding anything.

We usually order wings and a steak salad and a burger and we share that and let me tell you it's absolutely amazing I have never had a problem with there food or service or even drinks this is a good place to enjoy the games and enjoy good food read more

My friend and I stopped by around 9 pm after an art show at the Torrance Art Museum. We had no expectations and were hungry. This place surprised us!! The food was absolutely delicious. I had a beer- Modelo was on draft and went down easy. We ordered him as a sweat potato fries and then a cheesesteak. I am from Philly and this was an amazing ing cheesesteak. Now I know to go for a great fix when I am missing home. The staff were great and attentive. The place has at least a half dozen TVs with all kinds of sports and other things going. The music is going and the noise level is perfect where you can have a great time and a good conversation. I am definitely going back for the cheesesteak- amazing. I highly recommend this place. read more
