What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"The Lighthouse is a legendary live music venue with bar and restaurant on the Hermosa Pier Plaza. This place was world famous way before the movie.. and is known as a legendary jazz club. The musical acts they have are actually very diverse and there is something for everyone.. often having multiple bands and acts on per day. The patio is awesome but it fills up fast so be sure to get there early or book a table in advance. They have really good food with all the traditional favorites. The Lighthouse has always been about the music, and they continue the Hermosa Beach tradition of live bands, great food and drinks and awesome staff and service. We love this place and will be back again really soon!"
"This was my first time here and it was great! They have a patio out front and seating inside on both sides of the stage which is in the middle of store. The bar runs almost the length of the place with the restrooms and kitchen at the back. When you enter you see the front end of the bar running along the left side of the store and the stage on the right side. They have a good sound system and great lighting too. I had their burger (1/3 lb) and it was juicy and flavorful (and they use iceberg lettuce). They have a FULL BAR (cocktails, wine, beer, soda). The staff are fast, friendly and professional. Mia was my server and was fantastic! There is NO parking in front (it's a pedestrian zone), but there is parking in back. There is handicap ♿️ parking spots and the place is handicap ♿️ accessible. The hallway to the restrooms is narrow and not much maneuverability. So get there early enough for parking. Their menu is small, but it looks like they have something for just about everyone. ;) This was my 2nd time here and it was just as good as the 1st time! ;)"
"I’ve been here for drinks/dancing and also Sunday Jazz Brunch. Recommend both! Jazz brunch is such a nice day to spend a Sunday morning, the breakfast is reasonably priced and the drinks are very good. Staff is super friendly amd the jazz duo who played both times we went was great! Will definitely be back!"
"Such an iconic location to enjoy music from all genres. I really enjoy coming on Monday night jazz jam sessions. The music, food, and vibe is second to none. When you walk through these doors, you step back onto history. Love the artichoke btw!"
"cute little restaurant, we had to pay $10 each to get in (bc there’s a live band and it’s sunday) which i knocked a star off for but other than that the band was very cool and the food was really good! we got the chorizo nachos and lighthouse fries. also cool that the restaurant was featured in la la land."
"Unfortunately they closed the Cafe Bonaparte in Redondo Beach, which was closer to home. Felt like catching breakfast, so I came to this location. It's..."
