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.
