The Craftsman Bites & Pints Redondo Beach Reviews
Nice location. Atmosphere was cool. Good beers on tap. Staff wasn't very pleasant at first but then warmed up to us. We had an issue with an appi, but the staff took it off our bill and rectified the issue. Food was good, hot and full of flavor. Then desert came. It was cobbler and it tasted kinda of doughy like a Marie calendar cobbler. We again told the staff and they brought out another one. It was much better. So all in all, this is what customer service is! I will be coming back. Maybe try the cobbler again!
This place rocks!! Drinks are delicious..as is the food. Open atmosphere...service is very good. Would HIGHLY recommend for a night out or even a lunch break. You will spend a little more here, but worth it. Plan on bringing friends!
Beer lovers will have no trouble enjoying the Craftsman. The draft selection is not your standard fare and the beer coolers with bottles and cans only expands the choices. We stuck to simple burgers and found them to be very tasty at a decent price, especially for our current times. The only knock is that it's a very small, loud, and casual dining experience. There's little in the way of ambiance. Our visit was in February, but the front wall was totally open, leaving the whole place uncomfortably chilly. For a casual bite and brew on a warm night, I would fully recommend a visit.
Update: NOW Open! Awesome service, great drinks and food! Original post -Coming soon. Located where the liquor store used to be, next to Pedone's pizza.
The charcuterie board was beautiful, unique, & amazing! The Ahi and vegetable medley and a great glass of Starborough Sauv was very good! Quality food and service!
It was my first time visiting The CraftsMan, and I had been hearing so many great things since the new owners took over. I decided to celebrate my birthday there, and I truly didn’t expect the kind of experience I ended up having. From the moment we walked in, the owners personally welcomed us. The place was completely packed, not a single table was empty, yet somehow everything ran so smoothly. Our drinks and food came out quickly, hot, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, it was by far the best burger and Philly cheesesteak we’ve ever had. What really stood out to me was how present and attentive the owners were. They were on top of everything while still being kind, warm, and genuinely friendly. The whole place had such a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. That night they had a live country band, and it made everything even more special. It was lively and full of joy. Even though there wasn’t much space or a dance floor, people still got up and danced. Seeing the smiles and happiness on everyone’s faces felt like watching a big family celebration. It was such a beautiful sense of community. To top it all off, the band ended the night by singing “Happy Birthday” to me. I felt so celebrated and honestly a little spoiled in the best way. If you’re just looking for “food,” you can go anywhere. But if you want high-quality, flavorful food, outstanding service, and a place where you truly feel at home— this is it. Highly, highly recommend!
We hosted my husband’s birthday party at Craftsman and it was perfect from start to finish. The management and staff truly went above and beyond to make everything seamless. The food and drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was absolutely spot on. If you need a place for an event or just a great spot to hang out, this is it!
I wish I took a picture of my food before I devoured it!!! Goose the bartender recommended the yogurt and avocado toast. Never in a million years would I think to order yogurt, but I did because the staff here never steers us wrong. The best way I can describe both are a flavor and texture explosion and it’s heavenly!!! So this is the only pic I got…. Try for yourself 🩷

Great food at reasonable prices. Something for everyone. Friendly and competent staff. Fantastic chill vibe.
From the moment we walked in, Avery impressed us. The décor is elegant yet relaxed — warm lighting, tasteful accents, and a layout that feels intimate without being cramped.
Casual open air. Found a table for a late lunch immediately. Our server greeted us and took drink orders . They have lunch menu and a more expanded menu. Ahi tuna salad good size, dressing lemony light refreshing. Partner had chicken pesto panini. He enjoyed it very much, instead of the crispy chips that accompany the sandwiches and wraps on the lunch menu he requested French fries. They were very good , seasoned. A salad or sweet potatoes fries are extra .
We really like this spot, we get their burgers almost every time and it’s delicious. They have a very friendly staff and lots of TVs. If you’re looking for a really quiet place, I wouldn’t recommend, but I wouldn’t say it’s incredibly loud here. The side of chicken here is also delicious too and they have a great selection of beer and wine
We were a big group of guys that went in last Thursday to watch some football. Food was delicious, the Philly cheese steak sandwich and pizza was so tasty. Came out hot and extra cheesy. The IPA beer was spot on, it came out cold and refreshing. Perfect for a warm day out by the beach! The vibes and atmosphere was so welcoming and comfortable. Customer service was awesome, staff was so attentive and helpful! I highly recommend this place and we will be back!
Just tried this place for the first time. SO GOOD!!! Great vibe, combination of contemporary and yet sports friendly. Food was amazing, service was fantastic. Strongly recommend you try it.
This place is awesome! The ambiance is amazing. The owners are amazing!!! So welcoming as soon as they see a new face they are welcoming you and introducing themselves. I will definitely be back!
This place is awesome!! The food is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the burger the Philly cheese steak sandwich, as well as the shrimp scampi. All three are to die for. You can tell the food is very high quality and the owners are awesome, Very welcoming!! The atmosphere is great, with good space as well as a good community. This is definitely going to be one of my new favorite spots, a go to for sure!!!
The Craftsman Bites & Brews in Redondo is officially one of my new favorite spots! I went on Sunday for their BBQ event, and it was phenomenal. The vibe was laid-back but lively, outdoor BBQ setup, great crowd, TVs playing the games, and music that was perfectly on point. The food though… wow. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and the sides were just as impressive, you can tell everything is made with care. It really felt like a backyard BBQ with a professional touch, good food, good people, and a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive too, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a chill Sunday spot with amazing BBQ, cold drinks, and a fun atmosphere, this is the place. You’ll definitely catch me here all the time! 🔥🍖🍺

Great place to watch a game and the food was delicious
The sauces for the oysters were less than basic. The shrimp skewers were outstanding.

We enjoyed our meal at the Craftsman very much. The poutine was outstanding- with the French fries mix a perfect blend of ingredients and unlike other places - not drowning in gravy! The hummus was tasty but I would have preferred a trio of flavors versus only one on the platter. The Nashville chicken was spicy but yummy! The Baklava was excellent! Prices were reasonable. Location is great!

Great beers on tap but the food was pretty disappointing overall. The lamb chops smelled and tasted off, and while I asked for medium rare, they came out more than well done. I should have trusted my nose - my stomach isn't great today. The brussel sprouts were delicious though. I'd probably come back for a beer but would skip the food.
Food is not even mid. It’s inedible. The whole reason to go out to eat is to enjoy the meal. Got pretzel, fritters, white flatbread, Philly, poutine. Im taking this up with my credit card company bc what they gave was unacceptable. I question the tastebuds of the people who wrote the other rave reviews. Very disappointed, my family and I will never return, and I will tell every soul I know to stay away from this slop.
