Best bloody Mary's ever Dive bar for fun and meeting up with friends. Take it from a local who grew up in MB and has been visiting this place for many years

One of our favorite places to visit and the only place we visit in Manhattan Beach. We like the original beach pubs more than the swanky newer establishments. This place is a gem!!

Fanta shot is pretty cool..Orange flavored Vodka with Orange Soda...the vodka is placed in the center of a big cup...so the shot has ample chaser....

An icon downtown Manhattan Beach! Let's hope it sticks around as the last relic of old-school MB culture we have left

Small little dive bar. Never been at night but came on Thanksgiving- they are open! The shrimp quesadillas are good.
