The name of this Manhattan Beach sports bar might sound like something growing on the bottom of your foot, but trust us—Grunions is far more appetizing. Enter through the nondescript gray building and you'll find a friendly pub that skews on the older side (50 is around the average age of Grunions' patrons), with plenty of TVs that staff members are happy to change to your favorite game. Pints of Guinness are poured with the utmost skill, and if you're hungry, there's a nice menu to choose from: sandwiches, pasta, wings, shrimp and chips, and daily dinner specials. Breakfast is available on weekends, and it's totally acceptable to start drinking at 10am on a Saturday here.
There are a few guarantees when you go out drinking in Manhattan Beach. Beers will probably be had at a sports bar. Flip cup will most likely be played at a dive bar. If you're looking for cocktails at a club, you've come to the wrong neighborhood. And wherever you find yourself, there will probably be a killer sunset to go along with your drink. The next time you're strolling around after visiting one of the nabe's best restaurants—or looking for a spot to celebrate Sunday Funday—head to one of these Manhattan Beach bars.
