    Treehouse type vibe.
    Lola B.

    You can distinctly tell which side is an older crowd and which is a younger crowd. Chill place. Love the outside views and fun treehouse feel. Lots of drinks to choose from. There was a spill on the floor that I also slipped and it was never cleaned up. That kind of s u c k e d. Everyone just walked over it.... Especially the staff. They check IDs at the front. You take stairs to get up to the bar area. Lots of space. It gets really packed. The bar tenders are very attentive and work quick to get you your drinks. Prices are reasonable to all but of the other places there. Good vibes. 4 stars ONLY because of the large slippery spill . Otherwise it would have been 5

    Girls trip means exploring the food scene of our surroundings ! A recommendation of a local guide we found ourselves here for sunset and late night bites. Great bar, seating inside and out. DJ set up mid meal and dropped some great throwbacks ! Great service and great bites between the shrimp and the chopped cheese outstanding !!! Def loved every part of this experience!

    Yet another yummy dinner here. Awesome service food was great. Drinks were real good. The pretzel with beer cheese is best in town. Great bar area playing sports and everyone drinking and having a great time. Suck a nice place to have dinner at the beach, amazing sunset!! A+

    Been coming for years. Just now making my review. Good food, good service and good drinks. Gets crowded on Friday nights and weekends. Weekends is fun with a DJ and all.

    Comfortable couch seating

    Superb sports bar vibes with enjoyable spacing to enjoy some company with friends! Had a good time. There wasn't any sport games playing when we came, the focus seemed to be on their music. I love the multiple sections and especially the theming of homey/cozy furniture on one section. It was my favorite. It was an absolute vibe and we even joined a group of people playing cards. The left side bar had a live band playing some classic rock music with a guitarist and drummer. Super loud and was overwhelming but the right side bar had a more quieter mood despite there being a DJ playing some music lol. I think I'd prefer ordering drinks from that bar instead! Other than that, lots of opportunities to sit as a large group or as a couple. Great balcony seating to watch and a plus while it was cold was some fire pits going on! - No outside food allowed - Not sure if there's an elevator for ADA, we needed to climb up a staircase to come inside as it's on the top floor! - Different genres of music played every day!

    Mac & Cheese
    Robin A.

    I ended up coming here on the weekend to check out a brand pop-up for sparkling wine. It was very busy and crowded so if you can't handle the sports bar vibe this is not the place for you. Otherwise if you want a great location to watch the game with others with great drinks and food I highly recommend Tower 12. I ended up getting the Mac and Cheese and was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty good! It's not "homestyle" Mac and cheese but it was very creamy and I would definitely order it again! Honestly I kinda wished it was a bigger portion too because I wanted more haha. They have plenty of seating that faces the windows/outside so if you feel a bit claustrophobic you could actually sit there and feel fine!

    Came here with my daughter and my husband for drinks. First time here for me; I knew the owner of the previous place when I lived here... Very chill surf vibe. Restaurant/bar is upstairs overlooking ( Hermosa) Pier Plaza. We didn't eat, just had a few drinks. Servers were great ( we came during a shift change). 6 days later I forgot what we drank but they were good!!!

    Baja Breakfast Burrito, Eggs Benedict, French Toast
    Alexandra M.

    Reviewing both daytime and night time, as the environment changes completely here! That said, this really is a Hermosa staple. I've been to Tower 12 a handful of times for brunch - food is always good, not too expensive and the service is great! Waiters are attentive but not annoying and it really is prime real estate right on the main strip of Hermosa. They have both a breakfast and lunch menu so you have options. We all opted for breakfast - I ended up with breakfast burrito (they make them with tater tots which is superior to standard potatoes imo) and my friends got French toast and the eggs Benedict. Everyone was very pleased with their meals! Pics attached. I went back for the first time at night for a friend's birthday in which I learned they turn into a full bar. While I had a ton of fun, I definitely prefer brunch. At night, there is a $5 CASH cover charge. I'm definitely a hater when it comes to cover charges, as if the bar isn't making enough on drinks.. but I digress. This is a cool spot - they have a DJ playing music, there's places to dance, places to sit, and just overall a good vibe. I'm taking away a star, just because the number of people they allow inside at once is a little concerning. I'm all for a poppin bar, but you really can't even walk two steps without being pushed or bumped by someone else. That all said, I would definitely go back! Just probably during the day instead, lol.

    Only went for a cocktail and the view but friendly bar staff and beautiful Christmas martini. The upstairs faces the downtown bar strip of Hermosa beach so perfect for people watching with a fire and view

    Roof Hallway and stairway view
    Roni V.

    Super fun veranda-like rooftop seating vibes with vintagey surf beach decor, overlooking the plaza, close beach access and great for people watching. The staff was friendly throughout our visit and we were seated promptly with no wait time during an early weekend lunch. The food... We ordered the blue fin tuna poke, the presentation was very pretty but not what we expected for poke. It tasted more like a lemony fish ceviche and we were not a fan of the avocado mousse. We also ordered the 12hr short ribs with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This had also very nice presentation and nice flavor but the asparagus tips were not cut out properly so were very stringy and tough. Overall they offer fun vibes and have some nice weekend specials and fun events for various holidays. The entrance is on the side and you do have to walk up a staircase to access the variety of rooftop seating areas, so I'm not sure if they have handicap access. Also although there's plenty of metered parking but it is a busy area so the parking is always best left to luck or distance. I will probably visit again and try other food items before judging based on what we ordered alone but definitely recommend for the fun beach vibe alone.

    Mary S.

    I've been coming here for years, enjoying both the meals and the bar. It's the perfect spot to chill, with a great ambience whether you want outside seating, the bar, or the comfy couches. They host live bands occasionally, which adds to the festive Hermosa vibe without ever feeling loud or overwhelming. I tried a new dish called the Woodfired Garlic Shrimp with garlic bread. I wasn't sure what it was called at first, but I looked it up and found it's the Woodfired Garlic Shrimp. It reminded me a bit of a similar dish I've had at BJ's, but they nailed it, delicious and flavorful! Tower 12 consistently delivers on ambience and flavor, making it a go-to for a reliable good time.

    Text of table being ready
    Cristina S.

    Waited over an hour to get our table text to be told it was a mistake and told it was an automated text and there we're still 9 parties ahead of is! Horrible customer service. Probably doesn't matter because of their location.

So, this afternoon's walk, my friend and I decided to stop in - not quite lunch, not quite dinner ... the best of both! First, the best view, sitting outside with the perfect balance of sun and shade and a view of the ocean. Next, truly one of the best service experiences - Danny! He made a great first impression and just kept raising the bar - his recommendations were spot on. His knowledge of the menu was so helpful and he seemed to truly take joy in making us happy. We shared the Tuna Tataki, Crispy Popcorn Cauliflower, Sweet Potato Fries, and as if that wasn't already over the top and enough ... the Rocket Calabrese Salad with Hanger Steak. I never order steak as I usually don't enjoy it. Danny ensured us this would be the best pairing for the salad and he did not lie! It was cooked to perfection. I might now be a carnivore! We were so full and yet I couldn't leave a leaf, crumb or morsel behind. Oh and because we were talking about tequila - he encouraged us to sample their house infused tequila (infused with pineapple and mango). Oh my! Yeah, I'll be back at a more appropriate drinking hour. This might be my new most favorite spot in the South Bay!

They offered recommendations and both checked up on us throughout our meal. FOOD Everything was 3/5 Thick cut bacon - served with jam and shishito peppers. It was indeed thick and visually appealing, however, it was soo dry I had to saw through it with a knife. Breakfast bowl - pretty basic brunch bowl, good portion of brisket.

The ambiance was great and it was a really nice spot in front of the Pier. We sat outside since it was good weather, I didn't account for the afternoon chill though once the sunset. Good thing to keep in mind when choosing outside or inside. The inside was really pretty (saw this on my way to the restroom later) so I wish I would have chosen to sit inside. Now for the food, this was really the only let down. The guacamole and chips were started with was okay, slightly bland in flavor. I got the fish tacos, my husband got the Chipotle Pollo y Hongos (listed as a house specialty), got a taco and nacho plate for my kids off the kids menu. The rice was like a green rice, super bland and dry and this came on both of the adult plates. The red rice that came with the kids food was actually better. The refried beans tasted like something that came out of a can, dry as heck and again, bland. Fish tacos were meh, fish was fishy and the slaw it comes with did not have the flavor I am usually looking for when I think fish tacos. My husband's chicken was yummy, and I wished I had gotten that instead. Only con was the dry rice and beans it comes paired with. Maybe my biggest gripe was the food not tasting authentic at all, and this Mexican girl loves her Mexican food, or maybe I just got the wrong plates. In my experience, if the basics are wrong (rice and beans) the rest has little hope. However, I must say that Dessert was amazing, I got some kind of yummy ice cream (maybe the Helado Frito?) to blow out my birthday candle. It was the silver lining for sure :) Service was great, and they were very accommodating. I felt bad telling them I hated the food but I wanted to write an honest review for those, like myself, who rely on reviews when choosing a good dinner spot.

It was the sickest I have ever felt in my life with severe nausea. At the same time, my 3‑year‑old daughter suddenly spiked a 103.5° fever and developed diarrhea. My husband had to rush her to urgent care, and from there she was sent to the ER so she could receive fluids. Watching my child go through that was terrifying.

They told me that another woman in Redondo Beach, who had eaten the same salad on 12/22, also tested positive for Salmonella and had been hospitalized for several days.
