Sonny McLean's Santa Monica Reviews
My go to spot for Boston sports. Super friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Love the walls covered in boston memorabilia. Great beer selection and plent of bites and sandwiches to choose from. Nice patio set up in back with many tvs, as well as inside for sports games. Cant go wrong. Swing by and check it out
Cool spot to watch sports. Food is good especially the burgers, try the chicken salt with steak fries. Regular customer Stubzee has his own sauce and is a part time DJ as well, highly recommend experiencing both.
Looking for a new England sports pub, well go no further here it is Boston sports on all the time. Great environment great people down to earth. This is my new place
If you want to watch Boston sports, this may be the best place to do it. However, it gets REALLY packed for big games, but I was impressed at how cordial the staff was in trying to get people in. I think that's missing the Boston spirit a little bit!
Great food & service! Great place to watch the game🏈🖤❤

Great place to catch a game, loved the jalapeño poppers and a great selection of beer. Bartenders were friendly, and plenty of TVs. Will definitely return.
I came here at 9 pm after a medical procedure that had required me to fast since noon. I was grateful that the place was open so late, and still had its kitchen open at that hour rather than just acting as a bar. The food was good, and the presentation was a bit fancier than I had been expecting. If I am in the area again, I might return.
Stopped by on spur of the moment mid day to watch a NY baseball game & have lunch. Had a drink & a delicious, well presented chicken Cobb salad (offered in 2 sizes, awesome). Lovely woman at the bar & a guy server were so nice, felt very comfortable & welcomed. Not generally the case in a bar vibe. Great job management!
One of my favorite bar staffs in all of So Cal. Great for watching sports or just getting drinks and food. Always a good time whenever I go.
Great place for Patriots/Boston sports fans to meet and connect. Off season - just a great Irish pub with amazing staff.

Wonderful first time experience! The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Lovely setting. Will be back again soon!
Perfectly poured pint of Guinness accompanied with a very heavy handed shot of Jameson Irish whiskey “my favorite”. We also got the burger and corned beef sandwich with fries that was also fantastic. The place has a great Irish pub feel! 5star
Thanks for being open on Christmas Day :) we are football fans and craft beer lovers. Going here is like hitting two birds with one stone. Lots of TV's! We were able to get at least one decent IPA and one good stout. They were so busy but our food came in a timely manner. I wasn't that impressed with my order of Curry with forbidden rice but my husband finished his veggie burger. Excellent customer service though 👌
After a long flight from NY, we stop here for a recharge. Was surprise on how many people were already at the bar for lunch. The service was quick, had a great beer selection and the food was good. Really enjoyed the fried pickles but wish they were more dill.
Onion rings and fries are on point. Burger is okay, both the patty and buns were incredibly dry and unseasoned but comes with generous veg toppings (also very naked). Good mix of crowds.
3 dart boards and you don’t have to ask for the darts! Drinks are ok. I only ordered food once (salad with chicken) and it was truly terrible. Giant pieces of wet lettuce with some shredded prepackaged carrots sprinkled on top and tasteless dressing.

Come here after work or after a pickleball game- exactly what you’d expect from a sports pub- tvs, beers on tap, and decent British eats. This is a Locals spot at its best. I bring my dog sometimes and we sit in the back patio that has plenty of seating and space.
Stopped in for a bite of food after a late day of work. Folks were great, food was solid. There is a lot of space and would go back again for sure.

What a joke. $18 for a sausage and cheese plate with 8 tiny pieces of cheese and maybe 10 thin slices of sausage.

Food was ok. Service was horrid. I had to flag down waiters who glanced at me then would walk away. Only one waiter did their job and asked if I was helped. They were keen to charge me, not provide decent service. I'd rather go to Denny's than here. I'd have told the owners, but I'd probably be ignored too. I was a seasonal server assistant someplace, and I did 2x as good as these people. All I did was wait for them to do their job.
Don’t come here if you’re not going to tip because tipping felt mandatory not based on service I hadn’t been here in over a years and a waitress approached our table and immediately accused us of not tipping, saying that if we weren’t going to tip she wasn’t going to service our table. At that point not a single drink or item of food had been brought out. When the manager came over to de-escalate the situation, the waitress called us liars, closed out our tab and walked away. There was no proof, just allegations. The confusion and attitude from the start really set the tone. I understand servers work hard and rely on tips, but being approached like that before any service is given is wild.
Bartender ruined my trip here yesterday. She’s busy I understand but she walked away 3 times while she is in the middle of taking my order I’m standing there legit 15minutes waiting for her to come back. then never puts my food order in. Skinny Girl black wavy hair….find a new job
