Welcome to Party City, USA. SoCal singles flock to Hermosa Beach to sunbathe and surf during the day, and to dance and party all night. Hermosa Beach bars and clubs are congregated around the intersection of Pier and Hermosa Avenues, and everything is within walking distance in this small beachside community. Party people looking for Hermosa Beach nightlife will find a wide range of options, from laid-back surfer hangouts and piano bars to classic pubs, jazz clubs and live music venues. Many bars and clubs in Hermosa Beach are small and fill up fast, so look for the line on weekend nights but expect packed houses of hot bodies, surfer types and young 20-something singles.
Ground Zero on Pier Avenue is Sharkeez, the popular surf-style bar that stays stuffed to the gills on weekend nights, with the outdoor patio of Patrick Molloy's Irish Pub next door stealing the show on sunny afternoons. Find live music at The Lighthouse. Abigaile brings brasserie dining and on-site beer brewing to Hermosa Beach, while Ocean Bar's rooftop lounge provides fireside seating and a view of the Pacific. Check out Pier Avenue revelry from Fat Face Fenner's Fishack's second floor balcony, hang loose at the bamboo Tiki bar at Watermans, or head to Establishment for the hippest Hermosa Beach club scene around.
The Lighthouse on Pier Plaza has been a haven for musicians since the 1940s and was one of the top jazz clubs in the United States during the 1960s. Today the beachfront venue features live reggae, rock, jazz, blues and acoustic bands.
