I truly love this place. It's a classic beach dive with friendly staff at the bar. We tried their Cadillac Margarita, which was quite good, I'd rate it 7 out of 10.

Classic dive bar in Manhattan Beach. I visited on a Tuesday night around 7 PM and found a few patrons inside. It wasn't as packed as it typically is...
