My favorite dive bar in the area. Good HH prices and options, friendly staff. Great place to watch the game, but service is a little slow if the place is a little busy.

The Crest Sports Bar & Grill is THE SPOT to go in South Bay. Recently renovated with a new fresh look with giant open windows are very inviting. One of the top selling point is their Friday or Saturday live performance. Superb! The best secret of the Crest sports bar is their food is amazingly delicious. Their gourmet bbq chicken pizza is triple thumbs up 👍👍👍 it’s my personal favorite and highly recommended! And the garlic knots is beyond words. Most important. The staffs are so cool and friendly and laid back!

The crest is very fun! They have really good service and the twisted beef dip sandwich is AMAZING!! The tall blonde bartender Kimberly aways greets you with a "hello and how are you doing" whenever I go there, I mostly go there to watch dodger and football games and It is the perfect hangout spot during baseball and football games.

Brittany is the best! The other waitress is selective. She goes to certain people. Brittany loves all.

Cool bar, lots of sports on lots of TVs. Interesting groups of customers and have enjoyed dropping in the handful of times I've been. Afternoon games it seems a lil less busy and a more mature but kind of rowdy fun crowd.

Went to the "CREST" for Saint Patty's day.. Ordered the CORN BEEF & CABBAGE. 👍🏽 Had a couple of beers. There must be 35+"Flat-screen Tvs. there are 17 at the bar alone! Crest was remodeled a couple years ago. When I went there there, WOW! Now has beautiful indoor / outdoor patio candlelight Outdoor heating. Lots of room, great atmosphere! Live Music!

Great bar, great service. Nice place with a good crowd. Good kitchen. Fair prices on food and drink. Plenty of TVs to watch. Highly recommend.

This is a great sports bar with pool tables an more tv's then the ey can see... the bartenders an everyone were awesome, great attitudes and full of smiles... Ill be back next time i fly out here for work.

It was great!! The vibe of the staff was the best... gives u that feel good welcome... specially the host... she had a natural real welcoming attitude!! Can't fake that!! Definitely coming back!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Crest Bar & Grill. Fantastic service and food! It's my favorite place to watch Dodger and Laker games. I'm SO disappointed to hear that they had to be shut down in these rough times. As someone who manages a small business I was so happy to support though the difficult Covid crisis. Crest is super clean and I always feel very safe dining there! Even more disappointed to hear a neighboring business allegedly called to have them shut down. Can't wait to go back as soon as they get the green light to reopen!

Food is delicious! Everytime without fail. Friendly staff and fast service. I recommend this sports bar to anyone looking to try some of the best food in town!

The best food and drinks. Great food. Everything I had was made from scratch. (Meatball sandwich.....chicken parmesan....macaroni salad....in case you were wondering what I had.) I wish I didn't live so far away, otherwise; I would go several times a week.

First time here, had drinks and food, good was good and also big 🍨 the atmosphere was great stayed for the UFC fight and it was great. Waiter was very nice too.

Grab a beer, enjoy a slice and some wings. This place is awesome for ufc, football, or any sport. They have a ton of TVs, a couple pool tables and nice arrangement of indoor and open seating.

Came here with a large group on Tuesday and they were slammed but still the service was great and oooomg that meatball sandwich was amazing, side salad so fresh and tasty as well!

Wendy was amazing! Make sure to see Wendy when visit!!!!

Amazing food, drinks and service 🍻

Cool little hole in the wall sports bar. Brick walls and sports figures decorate the walls. Didn't try the food, but the Ghost Margaritas were delicious!!!

Went there Tuesday night. Had a beer and enjoyedbopen mic night

Excellent service with great happy hour options. Almost all the food is made fresh to order minus the nachos which was a simple chip and nacho cheese. We started with the onion rings which were absolutely delicious and ended our night with the tomato basil bisque and stuffed shells. Our food was hot and fresh and our drinks cold and refreshing. For those who love to shoot pool there are two tables that you reserve for $6 an hour , which personally is a very good price. Alongside the pool tables there is a center bar top and a large area for dining and drinking indoors or out. Saturday happy hour is such a bonus as well as Sunday mimosas.

Torrance's oldest and best dive bar. They have gentrified somewhat, but still has the old time dive bar quality about it. Several pool tables, some nights live music on stage in a separate room with good seating. Great selection on tap, and the kitchen serves up good selection of great bar food. All the employees have always been attentive and kind.

Me and my friend went to The Crest to get lunch. No booze for us! But sitting out on the patio was nice. They've really fixed it up. We went to around 12pm on a Friday and when we arrived there were about 3 people at the bar and that's it. The waitress was very kind and caring for us. I had the taco salad and it was great! I usually need dressing to eat a salad, but it came with a salsa cup and it was so moist that I didn't need any dressing. (And a soda.) My friend had a patty melt and she loved it.(and a soda) she shared her fries with me and they were very yummy!

Love this place! Its in a chill area....the food is great...service great...this is me and my coworkers watering hole. We've had our Xmas party here. Lots of tv's and a dining area..also a patio area....this is am awesome spot! The staff is great and friendly too.

Awesome food, Drink and Pool Tables!

I haven't been here in over 15 years. My Grandpa Eddie, used to bring me all the time growing up. I used to watch him shoot pool while sipping on my Shirley Temple. My Fiance and I took a trip down my memory lane over DELICIOUS pizza. It was nice. We'll be back.

Best atmosphere, food, and service around. Great place to watch your favorite sporting events.

I love this place!! Their food is sooo good and the price is perfect. We went for St.Patrick’s day and they did an amazing job handling a busy day. Especially this girl I wish I got her name she was really pretty dressed like a greaser girl she was so kind 5 stars!!!

The service here is always great. If you haven’t had a chance to eat here I’d highly recommend it. The drinks are always strong. And the new outside patio is so nice. They even have heaters for when it gets cold. Love it.

Local hangout with cold beverages and great food. Nice crowd and great service.

Crest has stepped it up in the last few years! The meat lovers pizza is divine! South Bay Trojans USC alumni club hosted watch parties for the away football games at Crest and they treated us really well. Crest is at the top of the list for a great spot to hang out and grab a bite.

Nice sports bar in old town Torrance.

+6

Great sports bar! Awesome ambiance! Very good menu with lots of variety. Drinks are affordable. Always a good time with friends or enjoying a game.

Went there for open mic night. There were a lot of talented singer/guitarists.

Immediately from walking in I loved it! Clean. No smells of old rotting beer and vomit. Haha waitress Brandy was on point! Happy and talkative! Loved her !! Loads of tv and they even have areas for small parties of like 10-15 comfortably. Just awesome place to catch a game or boxing match! Epic! I didnt give 5 stars to food because the ranch was thin. Everyone knows your ranch sauce game has to be on piont in Torrance!! I loved it! Will be back after work drinky poo

The garlic bread knots are delicious! Everyone was very friendly and an overall pleasant experience. Now that being said, service got 4 stars because my first draft beer came in a dirty glass with bright lipstick on it. Unfortunately I didn't notice until after I took a big sip. 😲😜🤢 Disgusting!!! After pointing it out to the young gentleman (very friendly and helpful) who I believe was the barback, he quickly got me a new beer in a clean glass. Great service!

A gem in Torrance, this quickly became our favorite spot! Staff was friendly, particularly Brandy, who was our server. She's super cool and wasn't rushed or anything! Answered all of our questions. Prices are very reasonable compared to other places for sure. The only thing I'd change would be the the ranch dressing, it was a bit watery but that wasn't the problem, taste wise I feel it was missing something. Other than that, AMAZING!

Good food and good drinks. Really fast service.

A classic hangout place for lunch, everything is absolutely delicious and portions are very generous. Starting with the garlic bread knots as a starter, personal favorite is the patty melt with tatter tots. Staff is very helpful, friendly and fast, just the right amount of fast when you’re out for lunch.

Great little hideaway if you’re ever in Torrance. Loud sports bar but great Happy Hour food suggestions. Friendly staff. Sorry not a beer drinker but 20 TV’s to choose from and even a tv in your booth. Big stars for that convenience

The best sports bar in the Old Torrance area. Great to watch futbol, football and pretty much any sport. The service was amazing! The food was delicious. Everything is super clean. There is a frieken Speakeasy and VIP Lounge! You can book the whole area and the curtain closes & you can have your own party!!! They have a great selection of liquor so dont hesitate to order any fancy drinks. The food was spot on. The fish & chips were fried to golden perfect & who doesnt like steak fries! The pizzas are big, have lots of topping & is super reasonably priced. The should be $8.95 onion rings for $10.95...not such a good deal. I challenge you to share with me a better all around bar with good food in the Old Torrance area. Update: They are going to open at 6am for the USA soccer game!!

A nice bar at a chill location. Good service, quick, timely and the food definitely hit the spot. A solid spot to bring your friends or family.

Great place to grab a bite. Good food and decent prices

Came here to burn some time waiting for an appointment, fast service and great food, it's a chill place to come and relax

Got my first Mexican shot from there. Its was so delicious.

Good beer selection, large portions on food. Pizza, burgers, wings, tacos all good. Chili cheese fries not so good. Karaoke Sunday nights are fun. Great sound.

Had a nice time celebrating my co-worker retirement party also watching the NBA games they have TVs everywhere to view the games. The food is very delicious and the service excellent 👍

terrific place to watch the game- really good specials, plenty of flatscreens, and the staff was really friendly and fast!

Huge sports bar with 2 good pool tables and decent players. Got here for the first time last Thursday for a tourney and was pleasantly surprised about the coziness of the place and friendliness of the bartenders. I haven't tried their food yet since I had dinner before coming here but it looked delicious and the price is very reasonable. I'll probably try it next time.

I went here for the first time this past weekend and the gal that helped us her name is Christina, was so kind, and helpful! I will be returning to try the food because kitchen was closed when i got there but it sounded amazing.

Dive bar but one of my favorites in Torrance. They occassionally play the UFC fights and sometimes have a cover. Strong, cheap drinks and I love their food. It's just greasy, heavy bar food, but perfect after you've had a few drinks. Nice, low key crowd. Torrance is a very interesting place and you don't know if you'll bump into a rocket scientist or a machinist, or a teacher or a gang member lol

Cool spot to hang out and play pool

Really nice place really nice bar lady. Really knows how to serve up a Guinness

Solid 4*: great service, good bang for the buck food, comfortable atmosphere. Only downside: just one bathroom for entire establishment, and A/C a little on the cold side.

I go to this place about 3 to 7 times a month depending on sports and it's never been anywhere to wow anyone (although I see renovations are in the works so maybe that will change) The drink selection is okay but getting better and the food is average the thing that brings this place up a notch to a 4 in my opinion is the great customer service by Stephanie who is my Waitress/Bartender most of the time because of where I like to sit and when she's not there the other girls do a very good job as well.

They offer a great steak dinner special for MNF. Full bar. Lots of seating. Good help.

Cool dive bar, nice bartenders and good crowd. The meatballs were sooo good! They don't have a POS system, so my really high bar tab was questionable. Meaning, everything's manual, and they had 50 guests tabs in a row behind the bar that they were adding people's drinks too. There's no way they were able to keep that straight! The only reason for four stars instead of five is because I feel like they can afford to get a better system.

Food was surprisingly really good but a little pricey. Sports bar theme with indoor and patio seating. Seems like a popular place but when we went was not too crowded yet.

Drinks an food are very cheap during Happy Hour. Atmosphere is not too noisy (with the exception of when there is live music). Service is good. Low key ambiance.

A good sports bar that can accommodate different groups. Many TVs with different games simultaneously. Good selection of beers. Fun times to watch a game with friends.

Great old-time dive bar that has kept pace with the times. Frequent live music with food and drink. Basic beer selection and basic drinks. I did not have the chance to try any of the food, but it looked like basic bar-fare.

This bar has been around for a long time, but I never venture into it until now. Friendly wait staff and the food and drink were served promptly. They do have plenty of large screen TV, so should be good for a sports viewing event. Went in on a Wed lunch and ordered southwestern type chicken salad, but I asked not to include onion and replacing the dressing with oil and vinegar. The salad came out just the way I ordered and the price is about the same with other similar type of bar/tavern. The chicken was moist and the salad was fresh. I'd not hesitate coming back here again.

Good place to get a drink, to see sports, to play pool on several tables in Old Town Torrance. Nice pizzas, chicken wings, homemade bread and garlic knots. Good staff, bartenders and waitress provide a good ambience. Perfect for karaoke. Great happy hours specials. Decent prices, sometimes the place is a little bit busy.

Wow! This place has changed since I was was last here some 20 years ago.🤣The place is all opened up and cleaned up. I went with family after we discovered that Lucio's around the corner is still only doing take-out. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Food was very fresh. Presentation is great. My mom and daughter were very happy with the BLTA and chicken tortilla soup respectively. I tried the tacos which were kind of bland. I will have a sandwich next time because my mother's looked delicious.

Service was great, wings were damn good

The good was really good. I got the meatballs and a salad. It was fresh even if it was just your basic garden salad. We order the garlic knots, but we got chunks of bread, toasted tossed in a garlic sauce. While tasty, we wanted the chewy goodness of knots.

The cheese burger was only mediocre. The meat was kinda dry despite being ordered as medium. The shoestring fries were excellent however. Friendly staff and pleasant people. Overall pretty decent, just skip the burger if you want something juicy. Update: Meatball sandwich was more like meatballs in a bread bowl. It was good, but I had to eat it with a fork and knife. Beef dip sandwich was good too.

Despite that I find this establishment kinda expensive. I'm normally used to Culver City bars. So I'm a bit biased. I came in happy hour and ordered a pitcher of pacifico which was 18.00 to me that's high knowing other locations charge a little less. The food was good, I ordered chili cheese fries and it was great for the portion. Overall it was good. Better to stick to single drinks instead of pitchers on happy hour.

Great bar, they deserve 5 stars but for a bar only 1 single unisex bathroom?? Great beer, delicious food...

Beer, Wings and Pool what more do you want! Great service from lovely people. Excellent value too!

Good food and service. There's a tv literally everywhere you look. It's a great venue for watching sports, including the UFC.

Seriously disappointed that you stopped offering the large pizza and free garlic knot deal… this was my favorite order from you guys… guess it’s time to find somewhere else to order from on Friday nights!

I didn't have the food but the drinks were good. It can get a lil rowdy so if you're into that this is the place for you...

Drinks are overpriced at happy hour. The place is remodeled nicely. TV's. Miss the jute box. Overall good.

Update: downgraded 2 stars. Went there last night at 5pm for happy hour (4pm -6pm), ordered our drinks only to hear afterwards that the manager cut happy hour short for the UFC fight at 8pm. WAIT WHAT? Cut Happy Hour off 3 HOURS before the event even starts? We had to speak up to just get happy hour prices on the drinks we had already ordered. The manager didn't even come over to tell us, he sent our waiter. What is he thinking? Instead of spending our usual, we immediately cut our time short and are now going to try other happy hour spots. Way to alienate your regulars! Previous: Good pool tables, very diverse crowd.

Ribeye special is on Monday's where the steak is bbq grilled with char flavor. I went on Wednesday and it was made on a BBQ grill so 3/5.

I ordered the beef dip, and onion rings. The beef dip has more cheese in it than beef. The onion rings, similarly, had more batter ( beer batter) than onion, and they weren't cooked all the way. The dough was a little raw in the middle.

The servers were very nice, responsive and accomadating. The quality of the food however has taken a huge dive. Turkey melt was served with bacon that had been sitting for about 6 hours, dry and charred. The turkey itself is pre-packaged meat. The Tomato basil "bisque" had no flavor, tasted like it came from a can. The new set up with giant open windows facing the street is awkward, you get a view of an insurance business and an apartment. Wind blows in easily making it uncomfortable. This place used to be good. Huge bummer.

Casual dive bar with ok food. I don't think I would come back for the food though.. I ordered the beef dip but it was lacking flavor and it was super dry. I definitely have had better bar food at other places. I guess it would be cool to come here and get drinks and watch a game if anything since they have like a million TV's everywhere. There's also a few pool tables in front.

We came here because someone suggested it to us, we wanted a bar that did kareoke. But we were treated terribly by the entire staff. They cut us off after only a couple of rounds of drinks, then we were kicked out, and yelled at as we left. Terrible place. Will never come here again .

Really love the ambiance of this place, however my experience of trying to make a reservation for a party and asking anything over the phone was nearly impossible because I was so rudely interrupted, talked over, and cut off several times, even after I asked them to allow me to finish what I was saying. Not accommodating, and makes me sad because we love the food and location, but the staff and service was very unprofessional and rude.

I'm not gonna lie I do like this place. Me and my wife live less then 5 mins away. But the waitress with the red hair asked us if she can bring us our change for our 42 bucks tab, she took the 60 bucks and never brought our change back and passed by us a few times. When we were ready to leave we asked the staff about her and they told us she went home, I doubt this was an accident...

Live their prices but awful customer service the bouncer was rude because I had an out of state ID and didn't believe I was over 21. I was visiting for my boyfriends birthday . Find a new bouncer

The tall blonde bartender is racist.. she gave us horrible service and when one our guest got here she looked in her direction like she didn’t want her in here... we ordered a pitcher and she gave us warm glasses so we asked the waitress if she could bring us cold glasses so she asked the bartender and she said no so our waitress went in the bar to get us cold glasses.... she’s very rude.. and she’s the same way every time we come....worst bartender EVER....

RATCHET!!! 40 in a party? 7 ppl in a booth? On 4/22/23 was RATCHET!. A woman actually jumped into our booth to fit in a photo, while my husband & I were having dinner. When i ask her to excuse herself we got dirty looks. We came here several yrs ago & had a much better experience. This place is driven by GREED They actually wanted patrons who came HOURS earlier & paid a cover $ to share a .booth with late cmmers who came just prior to the main event. I was NOT sharing the booth and DIDN'T w/ HOOD rats that were clearly not locals. Fine, a businees welcomes all ppl from anywhere but the behavior last night was atrocious. Never coming back, and telling everyone I know who thinks of coming here to STAY AWAY! As a huge sports fan of boxing, UFC, basketball etc, this was disappointing because you all are 5 minutes from our home....one good thing, our server/waitress was a sweetheart.

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered a chicken spinach salad and it was disgusting. The spinach was floppy and limp the chicken was dry for almost $20, I felt like they should’ve paid me to even try it. My husband ordered The turkey melt with potato salad. The potato salad was so disgusting it eight his tongue tingle, it was expired. That along with a nine dollar beer and a bartender that looks like she should be in prison rather than behind a bar, but the icing on the cake. That was absolutely the most horrible disgusting meal and ambience I’ve ever had a non-pleasure of being a part of. Do not eat there

In and out of Torrance as my family still lives here and I grew up down the street. Came in today for Happy hour, and got 2 beers. $4 for domestic pint: good deal. $8 for a craft pint of Sierra Hazy: bad deal. Where am I NYC or downtown Old Torrance? Crazy thing is that it's $2.50 less at Keegans for the same beer. There's no longer a wing special and prices on anything but domestics are outrageous: flat out highway robbery. Sorry, that was my last trip to the Crest Can't stand new ownership view on customers and prices

Placed an order on THEIR website, came in to pick up my order and was told the kitchen was closed. Was told to come back in the am or call to get my refund which will take 2-3 days dude I just wanted my sub Fix your technology so this doesn’t go through for hungry night owls who get desperate for a late night snack

Stopped by to watch a game and have a few drinks. Were told they didn't have that channel without checking. Not very welcoming which may have been a good thing since we ended up at Keegan's. Nice waitresses, great food and plenty of TV's to watch all games us and other customers wanted to see

Tonight, my USC ALUMNI CLUB got together to enjoy a USC vs. OREGON STATE Football game viewing party at CREST. Although USC barely won, the LOSER was CREST. Their pizza was cold and probably microwaved. Their beer was watered down and weak, their service was slow, and their attitudes were uncaring. *Of course we're never returning*

Kind of cool place, but they have two pool tables with the strangest table owner rules I've ever witnessed. Instead of playing a game by putting quarters down or a sign-up board. They make you pay to reserve it for an hour. Huge disappointment for someone who just wanted to go play some friendly games.
