We came in from Houston to get on a cruise and the hotel manager recommended this spot for good food & drinks , everything was good and had affordable prices. also, The bartender was friendly and gave us great service. The Blackthorn is great if you want a laid back and fun experience with good tasty bar food, drinks and great music playing, it's a little on the small side space-wise but cozy and a great place to grab a cold one with some friends.

Great place for a pint and some great fish and chips. With the option for outside dining it's a great place to enjoy a meal and still feel a little normal.

The Blackthorn Pub is a bar in Lomita, CA. You'll find hard drinks for hard drinkers. The bartenders are top-notch, and can pour what you're asking for. There's a decent beer list, and TouchTunes, so you can pass the time. Becareful, you might run into your "ex".

Great people. Great atmosphere. Great service. No I'm not AI and no I don't work there or have any affiliation with the bar. It's just that kind of place. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. If you like a beer or several and are a nice person they'll welcome you here with open arms. Best pint if Guinness in the South Bay, IMO.

Great little spot. Nice beers on tap, the usual domestic beers, a nice IPA, and a perfect pint of Guinness. Not to mention the Irish grub they have, lovely pies, sausage rolls, and more. Pay it a visit, say hello to the friendly staff.

Noisy dark bar with people having a blast. Yes good quality and quantity of food. I had fish and chips. The single piece I ordered was more than twice as thick as most places have. Partner had pork chops and mash and was satisfied. 10 screens to watch, but blink and you will miss the plain door to enter the place.

I had a not so great review up. I retract it. The owner has done a nice job. It took some time. The patio is very nice, especially on a nice day. Crowd depends… but not rude. I would have brought my mom here. All in all… well done. Im a bit picky too… just go… Food isn't as good as it was. But it’s still quite good. It’s just that for a bit it was fantastic. They had a chef that was overly talented for a pub. 2 real dart boards! That's cool right?! No pool .. so.. I’m not in there much. Also… there is a spot to have a smoke and a drink at the same time. Rare these days.

Quaint little Irish pub with a small kitchen and a good selection of draft beer. Friendly bartenders and plenty of TV's to catch the game. 2 dart board and Parking in rear. Only four stars because of it's cramp size.

Great neighborhood bar. This place is not a dive bar. It's small, but they still get some live music in there too. They don't accept credit cards, which is really inconviniate, which is why they lost stars. Cmon guys, in this cashless society you need to accept credit cards. I recommend this place, but hit the ATM first.

Menu clearly shows they have meat pies and the bartender had an attitude when I dared ask if they sell meat pies. Looks like a cool spot. The cook was friendly at least.

The worst service I've ever experienced in my life! Came in on a Sunday morning for a quick drink & bite and the bartender couldn't be bothered to walk from behind the bar and take my order. Insisted that I yell it across the bar and Interrupted me when she couldn't hear it. Immediately walked out. Definitely a place for the regulars

Came here with my friends and family, for my birthday weekend! Worst decision ever! We are brown and black ppl!!! The bartender gave us a face and didn’t want to take our order! A guy in there came to us and told us “ you don’t belong here” I was trying to tip the bartender she gave me an attitude about the drinks I took my tip back and we all walked out! Racist place!!!!!

We went to meet a friend. There were only a few people in there, but one guy was so loud and obnoxious. Tried picking a fight with an older and much smaller guy. The bartender was lacking in customer service. Played songs on the jukebox, and my songs were skipped over and wasted money. It was just not a good experience. Hopefully, it was an off day for them.
