North End Bar & Grill

The service is on point as well the food too. The two Bartenders had a full place, yet they took everyone's orders and no one got made or had to wait long. They know their drinks too, so if you haven't been,what are you waiting for! Go, you won't be disappointed. I had the baby back ribs, so good the meat falls right off the bone.

This local dive-y bar and restaurant is a great casual spot to stop for a bite or drink. Their menu is pretty large and reasonably priced with both breakfast and lunch/dinner options. They also have a huge drink menu and specials. The food was filling and the service was quick! Separate from the indoor bar, they have an outdoor patio in the front, so you can easily bring pets or your bike while you eat.

Buffalo chicken tenders are my wife's all time favorite and they've become mine. Excellent spot to watch LA Kings games. Solid outdoor patio. Friendly staff. I proudly wear a North End hat.

This bar/location is a longstanding watering hole in Manhattan Beach, it was Critters prior to becoming The North End Bar & Grill. Over the years I've been here several times, it is akin to a local dive bar. It is also a proud Kings hockey domain on game nights. During the summer, or, on a nice day/night they have a basic outside patio area, which is adjacent to the front door and optimal as a hydration station. This has been a stop for me on my bike rides during the day, and a last call option at night.The bar itself is smallish, but has a few offshoot rooms, one has a red felt pool table and several stools (12) along the walls, and another is just a little cubby hole. They otherwise have 20+ stools around the circular bar and several (10?) high-top tables that can accommodate 4-5 people.The biggest challenge here is that it can get crowded, and you will need to place drink/food orders through the bartenders, so don't always expect table service. Reading the reviews, this challenge is often seen as poor customer service, and I understand why. You really need to have a chillax attitude here.On my most recent visit (12/19) my group came to watch the Kings beat San Jose, 4-1. GKG! However, it took them a bit to get the Kings game on. Apparently, they utilize DirecTv, and on this night, the game was on Hulu/ESPN+ only. It resulted in a patron getting behind the bar to help solve the problem BUT resulted in the game being shown on one television only. Understandably, people, errrr fans, were annoyed.On the upside, my friend described their food as, MUCH BETTER THAN BAR FOOD, and he is correct. A lot of locals enjoy coming here for dinner, and I understand why, the food is really good. On this night I crushed the North End Burger, which was cooked to perfection, and they NAILED the tater tots, golden brown and perfectly crispy. The side garnish items for the burger were also really fresh. Top shelf burger! My friends had the salmon which was reportedly delicious and the Turkey Club which also got rave reviews. Bottom line, the food here is really good.My night had a little stumble at the end, Kayla, who had been attentive and friendly throughout was annoyed with me when I asked if I could cash out our tab at her convenience. I'm a polite individual, and I was in no rush, I was simply wanting to express my long-term need to cash out. My inquiry got a terse reply, "As you can see, I'm cleaning glasses!" I never did see Kayla again or get my final tab from her. Maybe I caught her at the wrong time, but the interaction was oddly frothy.

I was looking for a drink priced less than $16 and Yelp didn't steer me wrong with this great spot. Friendly neighborhood bar and grill, a few patrons sprinkled throughout on a Monday night at 7:00. After a couple of rum and Cokes, I decided I was hungry. I found a salmon dinner on the menu for about $20 less than I would have paid a couple blocks over on the pier. I was thrilled with the side dish options and chose the salmon blackened with sweet potato fries and sauteed spinach. It was excellent! I read a review that said this was 'better than bar food' and I agree! Even their homemade ranch was spectacular, so give them a try!

Great locals bar & food way above pub grub Summer can get overtly crowded it's literally like sardines gasping for air in hot & crowded marina only drawback

So much fun! Great crowd of down to earth people enjoying good food and drink at reasonable prices. The staff is awesome!

Love the bartenders, always friendly. Can't go wrong with the food I recommend any wraps or the daily specials. reasonable prices. Old school laid back place, almost like a coastal cheers.

Food 4.5 starAmbiance 3.5 starService 1 starI've been here several times but I have to admit the last two times the service has not been good at all. We sat down outside and had to get up to get a waiter to come out and clean the table. Then again we had to get up and go inside to get the waiter to come out and take our order. Once our food was delivered no one ever came back to check and see if we needed anything. I think it was because we did not order alcoholic drinks because everyone around us they were all drinking alcoholic beverages, we're all being waited on again and again. The food here is always good so once we finished eating again we had to go inside to order the ice cream cookie which we had already told our waiter we were going to order but he never bothered checking on our table so we finally got our cookie and yes those are delicious! And then again we had to go inside to get the bill! I was almost tempted to just walk away, I'm sure they would have never noticed .

Best locals bar , good food cool staff and mellow vibe, fills up fast on weekends and evenings with sports .. otherwise lots of locals and who are freindly and cool
