This place perfectly balances a legendary music scene with a phenomenal kitchen, making it the ultimate local hangout. The Live Music Scene The entertainment here is next-level. The venue brings in some of the best live acts around, which is probably why you'll often spot industry folks like influencer Kristina Farberman and Gordon Vasquez of Realtvfilms hanging out here just to soak in the incredible music. If you are planning your week, here is a taste of their stellar lineup: Thursday Nights: "Dick the Citizen" basically has a Thursday night residency here, and the sets are always a fantastic time. Tribute Bands: They bring in some of the most high-energy cover bands you will ever see. The "Atomic Punks" (an epic Van Halen cover band) absolutely tear the roof off, especially with their insane guitarist, Frankie Lindia. Other Favorites: You can also catch amazing bands like "Better Days," "Journey Jukebox," and the spot-on Foreigner tribute band, "URGENT," among many others. The Kitchen A lot of venues with great music drop the ball on the food, but not The Lighthouse Cafe. The kitchen is truly fantastic! Whether you are grabbing a bite before the headline act starts or ordering snacks between sets, the food is incredibly well-prepared and downright delicious. It is definitely not your average bar food. Between the electric atmosphere, the top-tier musical talent, and the fantastic menu, The Lighthouse Cafe completely delivers. Do yourself a favor and get down here!

I personally have also had the privilege of playing there as a musician and it's always so professional and the sound engineer is really on the ball and knows what he is doing.

This is the first time that I have ever found it necessary or important to write a review on Yelp. I was sitting outside of Tower 12 on Saturday afternoon. I saw the entire incident that JIM P (1 star previous review accusing the doorman/Tower 12 of "ageism or homophobia") wrote about. Jim and his husband walked up to the doorman and asked if they could go up and take a look at the place. The doorman said that they had to wait because he had to hold a line before he was given the "ok" (through his head set) to let another set of people up. Once two people walked out, Jim P said to the doorman in a very sarcastic tone "Isn't this the way it works? Two people come out, then two people go in....We know how to count". The doorman then said "It's not the way it works, I need permission when to do that. I need to hold a line". At this point, there were more people waiting behind JIM P, in a very adult like manner, as opposed to JIM P arguing with him. It was at this point that JIM P said "when 6 people come out and you don't let 2 people in, there is something wrong." When the doorman then tried to explain the situation again on how the restaurant works, that he needs the "go ahead" from upstairs, JIM P then said "You are discriminating against us because we are a gay couple". The doorman then said that he needs to follow the rules of management, and it has nothing to do with his sexual preference. When JIM P continued to argue with him, he yelled to the doorman "I am going to write a bad yelp review" as he walked away. The doorman was nothing but calm, respectful and handled it the best way he possibly could when dealing with an obviously intoxicated man with a chip on his shoulder. I have never found it necessary to post, but after what I witnessed, and what I read about this incident, I had to step up and do the right thing by supporting the doorman as well as Tower 12. It is sad that people can treat others this way, and then have the "freedom of speech" to post something so inconsistent with the truth, and put somebody's business and job at risk. Tower 12 is a breath of fresh air to Hermosa Beach, with a perfect location perched on the second floor at the Pier, for an amazing view, food and employees. read more

I left a review - and it got removed. Even though there was no cussing and vulgar language, it got removed. I guess some are embarrassed of the truth, but I guess I have to whitewash the experience for Yelp - what a website! I was a regular here, but some workers here don't know how to talk to customers or handle situations by diffusing and de-escalating a situation and talking through something and conduct themselves in an outrageous manner. Even though I was a regular and paid 50 dollars the night before, for a misunderstanding I was accused of yelling at the bartender who was yelling at me and thrown out. It was at the front bar on camera. Bartender totally lied. Let me put it in perspective for you. I was a regular at this bar and one time I accidentally broke a wine glass and paid 20 dollars in tip for the broken glass. No one asked or demanded that I pay for it - I just did because I thought I should pay for the broken glass I caused. That's the type of customer I am. I have no history of being a difficult customer. But this guy felt the need to be all antagonistic, not let me talk, yell at me, accuse me of yelling at him and throw me out because I am such a rowdy and uncontrollable guy. The Lying Antagonistic Bartender needs to get a job at the circus because he's a clown. He should be fired. He's costing them more money than he's bringing in - literally because I will never go to this establishment again and therefore you lost any future business - and I was a regular. He probably acts rude to other customers as well - driving more would-be future customers away. Cool setup,loved their pasta, terrible customer service and some people who work here are on a power trip. read more

If I could rate this place a less than one star I would. But let me tell you about the experience me and my MAN experienced. SO being a woman of COLOR I went to this bar to see how it was on a Tuesday night and I get to the door around 10pm ... so whoever was working at that time on TUESDAY IS A RACIST PIECE OF SHIT. I get to the door and seeing nobody is in line he tells us that we have to wait and he gets to talking to someone on his little radio .. he kinda sucks off so we won't hear wtf he was saying on the radio thing or whatever but I'm no dummy I know wtf going on. So he's taking his precious time to let us in or whatever and then when his partner finally decides to come down 5 min later he ask to see my ID (as expected) but then after I give him my GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID this man has the AUDACITY to ask me for a second form of ID ! Like I was sitting there trying to open up an account or some shit! NEVER IN MY 30 years of living have I been to a BAR!!!!! Where they ask me for a second form of ID to enter they establishment! So yeah after that incident I told my man let's leave..... and kid you not there was this couple who skin color was ( not of color) behind us and I kinda stood to the side so I can see what we was finna go do because that place had me all the way messes up . I heard them ask to see they ID but did NOT ASK THEM FOR A SECOND FORM OF ID! So at that point I knew they guys that was ID checking at the door was racist.... And I most definitely remember who these guys were and I'm going to take this incident to the NEXT LEVEL! Because I AM NOT MY ANCESTORS !!! And I don't condone racism!!! read more

Tower 12 in Hermosa Beach surpassed all my expectations and provided an exceptional dining experience. The burgers were absolutely delicious, offering a perfect blend of juicy meat and tantalizing flavors. Each bite was a burst of culinary delight, leaving me craving for more. The quality of the ingredients and the meticulous attention to detail in the burger's presentation were truly impressive. Alongside the burgers, Tower 12 boasts an impressive beer selection that caters to every palate. From refreshing ales to rich stouts, the range of craft brews available was extensive and well-curated. The knowledgeable staff was more than willing to offer recommendations to enhance the pairing experience, further elevating the enjoyment of the meal. Not only was the food and drink exceptional, but the overall atmosphere of Tower 12 contributed to a memorable dining experience. The beach-inspired decor and laid-back vibe created a welcoming and relaxed ambiance. Whether you're dining with friends or enjoying a solo meal, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. The service was prompt and efficient, ensuring that every need was met without any hassle. Tower 12 strikes the perfect balance between a casual dining spot and a place where you can indulge in high-quality food and drinks. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. If my review can stop one person from coming to this place then I have succeeded. I have come to this place many many times over the years and given them probably thousands of dollars. I have seen drunk people being belligerent and have seen people get out of control. I have not once witnessed or been with a person who was asked to leave. Last night I was wearing heels that were difficult to walk in especially in a crowded bar. I I as not drunk by any means. I ended up tripping over a chair and falling. That was embarrassing enough. Then to add insult to injury I was asked to leave! I wasn't drunk. Was not causing a scene. I literally was a girl in heels who tripped over a chair. Now I have heard this place is racist and I am not one to label any and everything racist. However, I am a black women so I must ask myself- why did I get asked to leave when I tripped over a chair and people who are literally drunk and disorderly are fine to stay? Anyways not that the owners or managers care- I am just writing this to hopefully spare at least one person from experiencing the humiliation I experienced from this place. And rest assured I will never ever spend a dime in this place again. read more

Tower 12 Review - Disappointing Experience Despite Great Ambiance I recently visited Tower 12 and while the ambiance was fantastic -- vibrant, comfortable, and perfect for a weekend outing -- the overall experience left much to be desired. To start, there was a prominently displayed football season special on the table. We got excited about it, only to be told it wasn't actually available because it's not football season. This felt like blatant false advertising and was a frustrating way to begin the visit. When it came to ordering, our server (Marcos) didn't ask for clarification and ended up bringing me something I didn't request. The food itself was underwhelming. The eggs were the only part of the meal that stood out in a good way. Unfortunately, the potatoes and bacon were both cold and practically inedible -- a major letdown. To top it off, when we asked to split the bill, Marcos disappeared and didn't return for 22 minutes -- and that was only after we went to find him ourselves. Great setting, but the service and food quality need serious improvement. I hope this was just an off day, but based on this experience, I'm not in a rush to return. read more

As a Hermosa Beach local, I frequently visit the area restaurants for my lunch breaks, and Tower 12 has always been one of my favourites especially for the Waldorf Salad and the relaxing view of the pier. The food is consistently well-prepared and beautifully presented. However, my experience today felt noticeably different. I arrived at 2:34 PM and placed my order at the bar. The bartender immediately asked if I wanted to pay, which was fine--I paid right away and even left a 20% tip. Despite that, there was no follow-up or check-in throughout my meal. When I politely requested a water refill, I received only a nod in response, but the water never came. The bartender continued serving others and made no further contact. Unfortunately, this level of service fell short of what I've come to expect. Every guest should feel acknowledged and cared for, regardless of the time or pace of service. I hope this feedback is taken constructively so that all patrons can continue enjoying the warm hospitality Tower 12 is known for. read more

Came here for the first time last week had been wanting to go sense it opened but it always seemed to packed for me! Luckily the time I came in was during happy hour and was by far the happiest of hours from the food to the beachy vibe and the customer service provided by melody (the girl with the purple hair)! The pretzel knots are to die for and the iron man were amazing! Unfortunately the specialty drinks aren't on happy hour but it's ok cause it was totally worth the price! It was pretty busy but the service provided by melody wasn't anything less then perfect she remained calm always with a smile on her face! Everything was awesome I will definitely be back because of the service alone! I've been to places were the ambiance and food was great but service sucked so I wouldn't go back! By far the best spot in the South Bay! Thank you melody and thank you tower 12 for the amazing food and awesome experience! See you soon! read more

I've been to this bar many times and it used to be my favorite until I met one of the workers and I got her name which is Sydney. She was very rude and made rude comments that were racial slurs towards me and I'm leaving this with you to deal with but I am looking into a lawsuit because this establishment shouldn't have bigots working at such a great bar. She must of been drunk on her shift because the way she was speaking to me and every time we passed each other she would give me dirty looks but was completely nice to white people. I wasn't even drinking yet when this was going on I was just trying to enjoy a good time with my friends. Hiring racists isn't good for business and has the potential for the bar to be sued. Also you shouldn't be letting employees work drunk and can't control themselves when they are drinking. She will obviously deny this but I just can't believe I was treated this way by your employee. read more

I waited to review tower 12 until I had been twice because I heard mixed reviews. I honestly think this place is great, in the midst of all the overcrowded fried food bars along pier avenue Tower 12 sits above and has actually a nice menu that is executed very well. First time we went we had the burrata and prosciutto bruschetta and the poke which were both delicious. This time we shared the bleu cheese burger , heirloom beet salad and our daughter had the grill cheese and tomatoes soup which we both ended up biting into because it was so good. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and checked back often, only thing is she didn't tell us her name so I can't leave it here but she was great and very nice to our kid. Some servers seem over kids before they even get started at the table. We will come back for sure. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could, but I HAVE TO give it one star. Was I drunk? Maybe. Aren't we all at the bar? Yes. Was I too wild? No. Sorry I was having fun at a bar giving y'all establishment some of my money. It was all fun until the doorman said I needed to drink more water, per Justin (the manager) request. Let me get this straight, TOWER 12 straight up kicked me out saying I can come back in an hour after I sobered up a little.... I'm sober now!!! Aren't we like 90% water anyway, f**king Stephen Hawking a** thought they knew more than me. To sum it all up.... I would never go back unless they tryna catch these hands. Y'all know who I'm speaking bout. Worry about the drug problem and cocaine supply rather than someone who speaks on a terrible manager who thinks he is cool. He's not. Get over yourselves. read more

This place is full of fucking assholes who racially profiled my friend and colleague despite the fact that we are physicians with means to pay for our drinks. Me and my friends were racially profiled, not served correctly at this bar, and frankly, treated with the utmost disrespect. This used to be my favorite bar on the pier, but honestly, I would rather drink booze from 7/11 (great chicken salad sandwiches btw) and enjoy myself on the pier than find myself at this bougie-ass establishment meant for the privileged-ass people who don't have any other imagination on Halloween but spending it at Hermosa Beach.

THIS PLACE IS RACIST. This incident happened a few months ago and out of curiosity I just checked their yelp page to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar and I'm shocked at how many reviews there are about this place being discriminatory and management doesn't give even care. Went here with my diverse group of friends and they only let in the 3 white people in our group and me (an asian woman). The rest of our group, who were lgbtq and latinx and asian, were denied entry right after us after showing MULTIPLE forms of gov issued ID and their credit cards!! Pretty sure I only got in cause my bf, who is not a poc, was holding me. IF YALL WANT TO BE RACIST BE OPEN ABOUT IT OTHERWISE WE'LL AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY OUT FOR YOU. read more

Amazing Food, Great Atmosphere! Although we were there on opening weekend and it was packed, the staff was on point! The renovation since this place was Fenners is amazing, and the $5/$6 Happy Hour Appetizers are AMAZING and filling. Best bang for your buck are the happy hour beers, but after that, the IRON MAN, was truly our favorite. Huge Fan of this place already. Dress code after dark is similar to the slightly upscale places in Hermosa such as Ocean Bar. No Boar shorts, Baggy Clothes, or Sports Attire... So if you don't know how to dress classy, there are plenty of other spots on the Pier for ya. Other than that, its an awesome Locals Hangout with Incredible food! read more

Called on Saturday around brunch time to make a reservation or get an estimated wait time. We were very rudely told they don't accept reservations and then hung up on. I called back to ask a wait time and because I didn't say "hello" within a millisecond of the host/waiter answering, I got hung up on again. I tried to call a 3rd time to ask a wait time and got told "umm it's not bad" and when I tried to ask for the host (who was the same person from earlier calls) to elaborate they hung up on me again. I'm not sure what "umm it's not bad" means as far as a wait time but sadly we didn't get to try Tower 12 and have to return back to our home state. read more

If you're looking for a bartender who doesn't just serve drinks but creates an unforgettable experience, look no further. Jacob is the definition of top-tier service and genuine hospitality. From the moment he stepped behind the bar, it was clear we were in the hands of a true professional. Their cocktail knowledge is encyclopedic, and every drink they crafted was a work of art. But what truly sets Jacob apart is his charisma. He's warm, engaging, and incredibly intuitive--knowing when to strike up a great conversation and when to let guests unwind. The atmosphere around him is always welcoming, and his ability to read the room is unmatched. read more

Sitting at the bar, received a couple menus for food and drink..... then were forgotten about for a while. A Long While!!! The bar wasn't even very busy at that point. Service needs some work. ...... drinks were good when we finally got them. Food took another 20 plus minutes (a pretzel and kale salad) to get to us. Ordered a second drink and....... Wait for it..... were forgotten once again for over 20 minutes. Ended up closing out shortly thereafter and the bartender asked... ummm do you still want that drink?.... Yeah, right... read more

The food was really good, I had the Tokyo Bbq Smash Burger and a picante margarita and my wife had the Steak Frites that paired really well with the pinot noir. Our server Sabrina gave us recommendations from the menu and she did not disappoint! She came around multiple times to check on us and made sure everything was okay. Overall a great experience and safe to say me and my wife will be back! Loved the vibe of the restaurant and like I said food was really good.

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.

I've never seen a bar work so hard to avoid being a sports bar while actively showing a World Cup…read morematch. 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.

My guest ordered the Short Rib Hash and found it mushy and lacking short ribs. The manager took it back and apologized and offered a different selection "on the house." A very nice gesture we didn't expect. My guest then ordered the Fig and Pig Pizza which looked and tasted great. Much appreciation to the restaurant for making our meal very special.

The ambiance is perfect for a restaurant on the boardwalk. The Good: They took our drink order and the drinks came back promptly. I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and House Cole Slaw. Food took a little while but I justified it due to the size of our party. The burger was juicy but not overcooked ! The bacon was crispy but not burnt and the vegetables were a perfect compliment to the meat and cheese. The Cole slaw wasn't any I had tasted before. The flavor was light and felt refreshing. It was more of a sweet rather than savory which was different but good. The Bad: my wife and our friend had ordered fries and it did not arrive at all, which was disappointing. Not only that, they still charged us for the fries, which sucked. Overall the food was good, but it did suck getting charged for something we didn't receive.
