A beloved Manhattan Beach neighborhood bar and a genuine South Bay institution, the Shellback Tavern has been serving cold beers and good times to Manhattan Beach’s surfers, locals, and returning regulars since 1976 — one of the most authentically local bars in the LA beach area. Pool tables, cold Pacifico, the Manhattan Beach pier a block away, and the kind of warm, unpretentious community bar energy that the South Bay’s glossy beach town reputation sometimes obscures.
