Food was good, Customer service was excellent! Thank you for setting up a area for us to eat considering there was no room on the sidewalk.. you guys are AWESOME!
Pretty good drinks. It’s right there on the strand. You can see the ocean from your table. Ground beef tacos. Are wonderful.
Good 67reat service, decent food, drinks, and prices... 100 yards from the beach!
Good job with the social distancing! Well done Shellback!
First bar I hit when I arrived in CA. Stayed in town & that was 79.
Beautiful beach view enjoyed the food !!!
A must stop-in while visiting Manhattan Beach! This iconic institution has been around since 1964. Conveniently located near the pier, if you’re looking for a beer and a place to tuck away, this is the perfect spot. Friendly staff and great service.
Best beach bar after beach volleyball tournaments
