History

Our Story

The North End Bar & Grill has a rich and storied history

1948

It Began as Esther's

Esther’s is born and quickly becomes a landmark destination in the South Bay. The restaurant originally was called The Carousel and rotated on a circular device not unlike a merry-go-around. In those days visitors could hear jazz in the back room, which was called the Chi Chi Club

1971

Critters is Born

In 1971, two partners buy the property and turn the place into Critters and it quickly becomes a local hangout.

1999

Welcome to North End Bar & Grill

In 1999, the current owner renames it North End Bar & Grill and transforms the bar to its current legendary status.

2020

Outdoor Patio is Added

Of course the addition of the outdoor patio brings more popularity - is that even possible? Hurry and grab an outdoor table and enjoy the amazing Hermosa Beach weather!

Welcoming Atmosphere

A laid back bar with a welcoming atmosphere.

We stopped here for a quick lunch and a drink and were not disappointed.

The sandwich was large and tasty. Service was speedy.

All in all a great experience for a beach lunch.

5 Stars

 The bar and outdoor eating area was lively. Course it was St Patty weekend. Outdoor area was nice, good vibes! Nice menu. Easy to use the app based menu. Scanned the code on the table and entered table number. Paid on the app as well. Service was pretty quick for being busy. Chicken club sandwich and the garlic tater tots were pretty good!.

Long Overdue

The service is always phenomenal but recently seeing Julian and his chill personality really made it worth the visit. Food is always delicious. So good I never get to take a picture. Flavoring is incredible. Along with their generous portions. I'm very big on dive bars and love that I found my foreverhome. The ambiance is definitely local spot drama free and very inviting.
