American Junkie

This Hermosa Beach enclave boasts classic American cocktails, craft beers, American whiskeys and bourbons and wines—on top of their daily happy hour (3-7pm) and late-night happy hour (Mon-Tue 11pm-1am) and 20 plasma TVs. Stop by for a drink and catch the live UFC fighting match, while digging into their Thursday $2 tacos. If you're not there for a game, opt for table outside to enjoy Hermosa's weather and people watching. At night, expect the casual, sports bar vibe to disappear as the tables make way for a dance floor. In back, there is a club-like atmosphere as well, if that's more your scene.
