Peninsula Tap House

Steve O'Flynn

A local place with a non-pretentious SoCal vibe. One of the few tap houses on the hill. Great location, really friendly, amazing tap beer list and full compliments for the exceptional bar food. It's a really well curated menu and certainly a crowd pleaser. We have had the wild mushroom flatbread and chicken tacos on multiple occasions, both excellent. Today we had the grilled cheese (pictured) again, excellent. The sausage sampler just walked past and so we'll try that next time, it looked amazing!! A bonus edition is the live music. Hard to beat.

In case you need a place to imbibe this is not only a convenient place but also low key and they change their kegs frequently.

Good local beer selection and modest food choices. 10000 stars for their "THIRSTY" Thursday special!

Good beer, fun people, great patio, and apparently great Music on Wednesdays

Life music and patio seating attracted many patrons on 1.27.22. See photos and videos. Not sure about Covid19 measures in full swing?

Great 🎵🎶

Had my Irish beers here for St Patrick's Day. Very festive. Great hangout. The chef made my sliders of his own creation. Very tasty. Christina kept our glasses full and us laughing 😃.

Went for the first time yesterday evening and already went back today. Love the patio, good selection of beer and the food was great! The only thing I wish is that they would put more effort into their website or a FB page detailing what music or events are happening when...

I really like this place. A bit hard to get to but worth it. The atmosphere was really warm, friendly and inviting. Everyone I talked to were open and friendly. They only have beer and wine, but that's fine. I wanted to try some if the ciders but I was driving. I went there with my friend to support a karaoke DJ she knows and it was so much fun! I am looking forward to next time.

Great spot with awesome decor/atmosphere. Our server/bartender was a delight, the food & beverage options are excellent. We had the sliders and fries with some well priced wine & ciders. The chef came out and we saw his passion for providing a great experience for Tap House guests.

Great beer selection with a casual atmosphere. The food has gotten better recently.

I almost didn’t want to write a review for this hidden gem in the corner of the Golden Cove Shopping Center. I just want to keep it all to myself. This wonderful tap house has ample outdoor seating and brews on tap. Live music is great on the weekends creating a very chill vibe. Try the wings and fries! They don’t disappoint. My only gripe is that they close so early!!! Update: they took the wings and fries off the menu. Devastated!!!

Great location. Cozy little place. Met some nice people here. I had the Hanamachi Yuzu. It was nice and light

4.5/5 --- This place is a hidden treasure in a lot of ways. You'll find THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS within quite a few zip codes, plus other good food. The people who own the place are SUPER FRIENDLY. Shout out to Christina who is so sweet and just all around fabulous. And the venue mixes it up with awesome activities like live music and PAINT & SIP. My main complaint is the atmosphere. Outside the weather can be nice, but more cushions on the chairs would be great. Inside . . . Look, I get it. It's a bar. So it doesn't have to be well lit, and the people who sit at the bar can be . . . colorful. The thing is, the bar top is so sticky you feel like you need to wash your hands and arms after touching it. (I know they clean it regularly, but it really needs to be re-lacquered or re-sealed.) As for some of the patrons . . . Even in the winter you have a lot of customers sitting outside in the cold because they'd rather do that than deal with certain groups who sit at the bar shouting loudly and cursing with every other breath. I think in any establishment there should be some level of common courtesy, and maybe the staff at the bar needs to find a way to maintain that better so non-foul-mouthed folk feel better about coming inside. Side note, on the opposite end of that, I've been to this place when adults bring screaming little kids to eat inside at the bar and they're chasing each other around playing tag and causing a scene, and the parents don't do anything to contain them. I know in business you want to get every sale, but to maintain a good atmosphere that is welcoming to A LOT OF PEOPLE it is important to have ground rules and standards, like kids under a certain age can't eat in the bar area. Or management can politely but firmly tell patrons to rein in the foul language. I've heard staff try to do this in a more joking/teasing manner, but that doesn't get the point across. You can't be afraid to be serious when it comes to protecting the atmosphere of your business and making it as welcoming as possible to all sorts of customers, including new ones. That's my advice anyway. Definitely come for the food and the friendly, amazing people who own the Tap House! Just eat outside and place that order as soon as possible so you don't have to be inside lol.

They have great beer and food but I wish I wasn't forced to listen to their band in my living room at the top of Hawthorne on a Saturday while stuck at home sick. How loud does it need to be if I can hear if from a mile+ away? Give us who live here a break already

Horrible Service. Took 30min to order a beer at the bar

I would give the service negative starts if I could. The lady that was working the bar was terrible. It took me 30 minutes to order 2 drinks and 2 burgers and pay because she kept ignoring us, walking away, and checking the back, and then talking to other customers. Not to mention she got 1 of the burgers wrong and ignored me when I tried to correct her. On top of that, she then poured the wrong beer. I was ordering with a second person because we were a party of 4 and it was 2 checks. He was never able to order because she never came back and ignored us when we tried to call her over. I honestly think she might have been high on the job, no normal person would have acted the way she was. She also disappeared in the back for a while and was nowhere to be found when we went back inside to correct the order. Multiple other customers expressed frustration and some left because they were never able to order. The burgers were great, chef knows what they were doing. However I will never be going back because of how tainted our experience was. I believe her name was Christina, I don’t remember exactly but we were there yesterday on 12/21 around 2 pm.
