Looking for a nice Bar for mature people both old and young. With live band music and karaoke 🎤 🎶. Food drinks and conducive spot for hangout with friends and family. Dates, a place to take your partner.

The Lighthouse Cafe is one of the best Icons in San Pedro!! Because it is nested in a small neighborhood community, it is not visibly out there for all of the public to see!! But the news of this special place should be shared! Everyone needs to experience one of their signature burgers, or a delicious Sandwich (particularly the Jimbo Special!) or one of the fresh seafood dishes cooked hot off the grill from one of the local fishing boats!! Don’t miss out on this delicious local secret!!

What a fun time!! It is a 21 and up place and we came on a Wednesday night when they do live music! So lively and fun!! Everyone was dancing and the performers were great, food was INCREDIBLE I got the cod tacos and I highly recommend!! Service was fast and friendly and you just walk in and get a table, no need to wait for a table or for a server, they come right to you wherever you sit

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!

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! ;)

Had a great time. Great music, good food, and next to the beach. I definitely recommend it. Pancakes are huge!

Came here for Sunday jazz brunch. The drinks and food were very good but the atmosphere was fantastic. The jazz band (Griffin Woodard Quartet) that was playing was fantastic and the nods to "La La Land" (which had scenes filmed there) were great. We would definitely return.

I recommend you to visit this restaurant after looking around the Hermosa Beach Pier where Ryan Gosling sang “City Of Stars”. This place is where Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone danced together. It would be better that you check the schedule of performances of this restaurant. You can enjoy the lovely vibe with people who come to spend time here. You can also park in the parking lot behind behind this restaurant.

What a nice place we found in our recent trip to Los Angeles. They had live music great ambience plenty of food selection good cocktails in a variety of extremely cold beer with definitely had a great time. Also they were featured on the movie La La Land, which makes this Place amazing, another thing we like to note it’s the this bar it’s been open since the 50s originally known as a Jazz bar definitely recommend it. There is a parking lot nearby and make sure you are ready to dance and have fun. For more tips on trips, food and bars follow us on our Social Media and YouTube as AVENTURASCONLOSPAIZ

The lighthouse has updated the menu and it is fantastic. Highlights being the deviled egg toast, hot chicken and fish tacos. Amazing cocktails as well. This is hands down my favorite spot on the pier now. Can't wait for music to start up.

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.

I stopped by on my afternoon walk and date with myself. Decided to stay and watch the bands. The first one was a blues band and the second was a reggae one man band. Both were entertaining. I ordered the watermelon drink with tequila. I wished it had more watermelon in it. I also had the Mac and cheese.. not very cheesy.. and the sour dough bread with honey butter. The honey butter tasted a little organic and goat cheesy. I wasn't a fan but it was nice a crunchy. Overall the experience was nice. The waiters were very friendly and kind. I felt a little sad tonight. I met a friend there a couple years ago, and I miss that night. Wish I could go back and change things haha.

Went here for salsa and bachata night on a Tuesday while visiting from out of town and looking for a last-minute event. The usual 10:30 crowd spike doesn’t apply on Tuesdays, so it’s better to come earlier — around 9 — when the atmosphere is livelier. The music was great, mostly salsa with some bachata mixed in. The crowd leaned a bit older, and the leader-to-follower ratio was decent at one point. Drinks are available for purchase, free water is provided, and there’s a $10 cover charge at the door. Overall, a solid spot for a fun Tuesday night of dancing. Set your expectations to a low to mid level Friday/Saturday night.

The atmosphere and location was great. Went last night to their reggae night. We ordered the nachos, they were not too great. Our drinks were mediocre at best. We are willing to give them another visit for their jazz brunch. Maybe then we will see what everyone is raving about.

Wine not!?

One of the better places to catch live music anywhere really in LA. However, don't leave anything behind and watch your jackets. Throughout the years, we've had jackets stolen and somehow, if you leave anything there. It's never there the next day. They're lost and found is more like lost and stolen.

One of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant. We were practically ignored the entire time, food took extremely long to come out, and by the time it came out, it was almost cold. Grilled cheese and hot chicken tasted bland and undercooked, and the small plate of fries felt like a rip off based on the price. If you're not an old white person ordering alcohol, you will get ignored. If you're here because of La La Land, just take the picture and leave, don't bother spending money here
