Underground Pub and Grill

Saturday night, I was with a small group of friends who decided to swing by this local hotspot for a few beers. Underground had a long (ish) line, but was worth the wait. The bouncers get big points from me for not letting people cut the line… (I know I’m old and grouchy, but I always find that behavior very entitled… Kids these days, amiright?)
Anyway, once we made it inside, we decided to pop down at a table to enjoy a few beers. The place was pretty packed, but was a fun scene. There was dancing in a nearby (but separate) area for anyone who felt like it, and for my crew, there was a chill bar area to get away in. The bartenders were quick and attentive, and the service was great. I’d definitely visit again, if I find myself back in the area! While we didn’t venture over to check them out, there were loads of bar games available too. Perfect place for a night with friends!

There was an event going on today and although it was at a pub, the flyer did not say it was 21+ so I called just to confirm that if I show up, I would be able to get in even if I’m only 20. They said yes that it wouldn’t be a problem, but once I got there they said that she must have made a mistake because it was only 21+. It was really upsetting that I called ahead of time to make sure I wouldn’t make the long trip for nothing, and that happened. BUT the manager did feel bad about the situation and spoke to me and made me feel better. He’s the reason I’m giving it 4 stars lol

Went to this bar on Memorial Day. Upon entering we saw a sign that said daily specials, also daily happy hour during these times, we thought awesome. We go inside and I ask the bartender what the specials/​happy hour is, and he says there are none. Maybe because of the holiday but till you should be able to honor your signage. Nonetheless this bar is cool because they have darts, quarters, and a pool table. What makes having a drink with friends more fun? GAMES!

The food is good, burgers and fish & chips, but the beer selection could be much better and include some English beers (Fullers, would be nice).
The service was good and they have shuffle board.

Dodgers games, USC games, pool, darts, shuffle board, good beer, really good pub food. One of the more under rated places in Hermosa.

Good beer, terrible food, amazing staff and service.
Great place to meet up with a group to drink and have fun.
Small Parking lot behind the bar, near the backside entrance.
Always a good time!

Love this place. The staff are friendly, the food is good, and plenty of beer options. The burgers are awesome but my favorite deal is the Monday night steak deal.
Best overall bar in Hermosa Beach.

As far as local pubs are concerned, it won’t get much better than Underground! We stopped in during a night out for drinks, but ended up staying here all night playing darts. There are so many things for visitors to choose from here, I love it!
The beer selections aren’t so bad, draft anyways. I always find myself wishing for more, but not everywhere can be my favorite bars from back home in the Midwest. The beer prices are good… good enough that we had many rounds of drinks while playing darts. Originally we were waiting for shuffleboard to open up but the group playing kept having more and more rounds. Thank goodness for booze to make you forget and find something else fun! That is really the only thing I can think of for Underground to change… maybe have times for people to play so that you can ensure that everyone gets a chance to play.
Attached to the main bar area (that also has two pool tables) is a dance room area. At the time that I had wandered back, there wasn’t much dancing going on as a basketball game recap was being played — plenty of TVs, check! I did make note that the atmosphere was a bit dimmer and there was a DJ setting up so — live DJ, check!
On my next trip to LA I’m sure I will make a return here, I had so much fun the first time!

I have only been in California for less than a month and I have been searching for a good, casual bar to hang out in and I think I have found the perfect spot. It has three dart boards, two pool tables and shuffle board. It’s also a great spot to watch your favorite team play. They have tv’s everywhere! Also, the service was awesome. I am sure Underground will be my regular spot from now on.

This place is amazing! I came here last night for my cousin’s birthday, and we couldn’t have made a better choice! The bartenders mixed drinks to perfection and provided fast service, the bouncers were quick on their feet, and the patrons were super friendly. I’m most definitely coming back. Two thumbs way up!

This is one of the best bars in hermosa! Every time I come in here, it’s just as great as before! I love the atmosphere and beer selection! The staff are just the best! And their happy hour is unbeatable!

This is a local gem. TV’s everywhere to watch any game you need. They have darts and shuffleboard, and the staff is always super cool. My personal favorite is Denise! She’s laid back, makes a great cocktail, and is incredibly friendly.
Drinks are more than reasonable and the ‘bar food’ isn’t bad at all. We like to go here because it’s easy to grab a drink and watch the games.
Keep doing what you’re doing Underground, locals love you!

Alicia was simply the best part of our visit.
Decent food, great beer selections and again, fantastic service.
I will be coming back especially for football Sunday’s and drinks with the boys.
Amazing place to get a drink and have fun!

This is a standard dive bar. Kinda smells like it too. BUT they have darts, pool AND shuffleboard. I think this is the only bar in the area that has all 3. They have food which I haven’t tried but they have a full bar and drinks are standard pricing. Music is alright. Lots of booths to sit in, lots of TVs for sports etc. Definitely worth checking out but the main attraction for me is the billiards and the TVs. Other than that it’s just like any standard bar.

Been coming to this place ever since it was known as «Bestie’s». Recently have visited a few times with my family, and have enjoyed playing pool and darts with the kids while enjoying a great meal and terrific drinks. They always play good music and their service is pretty great.

Best fish & chips this side of the Mississippi!
fries were cooked and seasoned well. Fish was flaky and fresh. coleslaw was perfectly dressed. Couldn’t ask for anything better!

Didn’t eat. Wish they had all the taps attached to a keg but not bad otherwise. Reasonable, spacious, multiple dart boards and pool tables.
Nice space nice people.

Great place to watch the game and hangout with friends!
A bar and restaurant. It’s always busy and crowded on the weekends. It’s difficult to find a table for a group, so make a reservation ahead of time. The crowd is younger which looked like college kids, Lots of good looking people too. There’s a dance floor at the back with it’s own bar. The Music they play are a mix of pop and hip hop. I like it.
Food is your typical bar food that are mostly frozen. They’re okay but nothing I’d comeback for. The guys are at the bar are nice and from what my friends told me, their drinks are pretty decent.
My only complaint is that the women’s restroom is very small and staff needs to check the restrooms and replenish the toilet paper and paper towels ughh gross! Other than that it’s a good bar.

Underground is a cool place to come and have a few beers, play darts, watch sports and kick your friend’s ass in pool. And I’m referring to myself being the one whose ass was kicked.
There is soccer (or to be politically correct. FUTBOL) memorabilia everywhere. especially English teams/​clubs. The place was clean and all the tables were organized which made it look nice. There are two pool tables, a shuffleboard table and 3 dart boards. I was so excited to see the dart boards.
Now…the food. I was incredibly disappointed with the food. I know they say «don’t expect much from bar food» but I feel like that saying has gone out the window. Even super crappy looking dive-​y bars have decent food now. We ordered the «Fiery Fingers» with a side of fries which were at happy hour price. Fries were alright but the chicken strips dipped in buffalo sauce were not good. They tasted like the fake Tyson frozen chicken strips. I would love to go back and try something else and have it not be as fake tasting or disappointing as those chicken strips.

I love the Underground Pub and Grill in Hermosa Beach. I hate the parking situation in Hermosa Beach.
I even have the ticket to fuel the fire of my hatred … anyway
I heard that this was one a decent venue for steel darts so I made my way there one Monday night. There are three boards, a shuffleboard, two pool tables, a dining area and of course, a bar. The bar staff was very friendly. So much so that I opted to just walk up to the bar for my drink orders. There was a server for the dining area however, her focus was on her phone which is what prompted me to deal with the bar staff.
Not taking my parking ticket into consideration, it’s an okay place to hang out. The crowd seemed pretty laid back though it was on the quiet side for a Monday night.
