Barnacles Bar & Grill is a hip beachfront joint that surfs up specialty drinks and tasty food items for sun-soaked scenesters. We are little off the beaten path of Pier Ave, and infinitely more relaxed than many other area venues, Barnacles is a sporty spot with a full bar and full menu. Hermosa locals avoid the pier scene by ducking into this charming dive bar. Our scene fluctuates from thirtysomethings enjoying a casual drink and seafood dinner to singles & local clientele who ride up to Barnacles on their beach cruisers to luxuriate inside or on the sun-drenched patio with cheap pitchers of beer. We now serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and take-out. Our menu features huge & to-die-for burgers, salads, sandwhiches, finger foods and even pho! If you are looking for a good time, good food, endless drinks & great people - stop by Barnacles and we'll make sure you have an awesome time!
My Favorite Local Watering Hole

Great Food! Great Girls! Even Better Specials for a girl on a budget! Also- gotta love any beach bar that has outdoor seating, happy hour, and live music. Couldn't ask for more from a favorite local spot :)

Barnacles & Crazy Lauren.
by Michael M.
I've just spent a great week in Hermosa, taking a break for the festive season & getting away from the crappy English weather. For me Barnacles is by far the best bar in Hermosa. The bars on Pier Avenue are OK! but, you dont get the same choice on beers & you certainly dont get the same level of Friendliness & service that you get in Barnacles. The bar itself is of the neighborhood\Dive genre, but very cosy and everyone's given a warm welcome. All the bar staff are great, but in particular Lauren, she's as crazy as she is Beautiful and if my plans hadn't whisked me off to Vegas, I'd of stayed in Hermosa, just to find out if she found the back off her cell phone, which she lost while drunk! And for the pleasure of her serving me pint after pint of Stella.
I'll be back in the summer for more Stella & steak & Cheese subs.

If you are looking to get away from the crazy pier scene and just grab a beer and chat with friends, Barnacles is the place to go in Hermosa. They have a bunch of TV's and a couple video games. The place wouldn't win any beauty contests but it gets the job done. I was once there on a wednesday night when the bartender put the sound on for a Seinfeld episode. You won't get that at Sharkies!

Their burgers and homemade chips are a great complement to weekend sports watching.

My New Take Out Spot
by HighFive
My new favorite take out spot. I looove their burger - it's big juicy and sooo tasty.
It's also on of my favorite local bars in Hermosa. All of the staff is very friendly & attentive. They have tons of beers on tap & it's so nice to enjoy the sun on their outdoor patio. I would def recommend Barnacles Bar & Grill to others.
Pros: Fun Bar & Good Food

Friendly Staff, Great Food & Relaxed Atmosphere
by kellyt
This place is great - the staff is amazing, attentive & friendly. It's an awesome spot to relax before heading to the beach or even afterwards for a great meal. I had their breakfast burrito - it was huge & delish! I need to come back to try their burger...I've heard it's to die for. They also have a great outdoor patio area, pool table and live music some nights. I'll def be back!
