Lobster & Beer

We had lobster roll and, cheese grilled sandwich. It's very cheesy , greasy and delicious. They are perfect with beers. I like here ambiance , remind of me San Francisco old authentic pub. Also, staffs are really friendly, professional. We are so lucky to have this pub in my neighborhood.

Lobster and Beer —it's all in the name! They offer a great selection of draft beers and delicious lobster rolls. While I didn't try the rolls myself (not quite vegetarian-friendly), my friends absolutely loved them and even had seconds. The service was fantastic, and we enjoyed relaxing on the terrace. I personally loved the rock vibe in the inside. Don’t miss the posters in the toilet… Last, it’s an excellent spot for a get-together with friends as you can book the place and pre-order food and drinks for your group.

Listen, this spot has a FIRE menu, lobster, crab, calamari, HAPPY HOUR ALL DAY!? It's order at the bar, our food came quick, hot, and the ambiance feels like a cool homage to California. The people working had great customer service and we had a great time. 10/10. Definitely worth the trip!

Fun place for good lobster rolls, very tasty. The clam chowder was good and not too salty. Nice stuff and fun atmosphere although a bit loud

Great casual and fun place. Food comes out super fast. Happy hour until 7 every day, cocktails under $8.

Nice place and atmosphere. Excellent service as well. I ordered the 🦞 mac & cheese, calamari fries, & some cheese 🍟. All Excellent especially with the addition of hot sauce.

Oh my! What a great find! I was looking for a random Tuesday pm happy hour and discovered lobster and beer. The lobster taco - 3 for $12 was filled to the brim and very tasty! I also had the cajun bay shrimp had a excellent flavor for just $4. There calamari fries are calamari shaped like strips of french fries. It was $12 and tasted really good! The beef rib taco was just so so. I am so going back! —- Went back on a Monday. $13.50 for 3 lobster tacos what would have been $12 on Taco Tuesdays. Still a great deal. The sangria for $7 and Chardonnay for $8 were very good deals!

I usually don't leave a lot of review but here is the best Lobster Roll place in LA area! Me and my husband used come here when we were dating. And this place is still our favorite after got married :) Their service is always great and nice. Also food always really great quality! Highly recommend Connecticut roll which is warm Lobster roll. And also grilled cheese with tomato soup! Love this place❤️

I got the Connecticut Roll and Old Bay Cheese Fries, everything was delicious. The girl at the front, Sydney, was very friendly and helpful. Great beer selection and good vibes, will be back for sure!

It's lobster and it's beer so I thought, what's not to love? Two of my favorite things in one establishment! The first time I came here was kind of an odd experience--there were basketball games on the TV screens but they also had a guy walking around singing? He was good but I was confused. Let's just say I am glad that hasn't happened again since, which is probably for the best! As far as food goes, the Lobster Nachos and Tacos are delicious, as well as the Tater Tots, and (of course), the creme de la creme, the Lobster Roll. If you want the most lobster possible and probably the best bang for your buck, definitely go for the Lobster Roll! It's all priced appropriately considering it has lobster in it but nothing is cheap. Everything I've had here has been good so there's no going wrong, but nothing I've had has blown me away either. Solidly average food and experience overall.

I'll start with food: the lobster quesadillas had a nice portion of lobster! It was cheesy, hot, fresh, and good! The clam chowder soup was delicious! The lobster Mac n cheese woru tomato soup was really good!!!! The margaritas came in tall glasses, mostly filled with ice, but very refreshing. The service was so rude I couldn't believe it. The guy who took my order (tall man behind the bar) was so condescending and acted defensive and mad to be working. Both he and waiter treated us rudely. He was arguing with me when I asked if this was where I should place my order, and he looked at me like I was dumb, and told me that I order with him (but the tone was completely patronizing) and when I finished he literally walked away without taking. I had to finish the payment process after he walked away, no thank you, or directions on how to get my order. I witnessed the bartender/cashier act this way with a others guest so it wasn't just us. I heard the neighboring table talk about how rude he was because he was arguing with them that they didn't in fact order a drink (only discuss the options) and he was literally arguing with them about it.

This place is so good, and you have to get the soft shell crab sandwich. It is a deliciously warm sandwich, which super juicy and deep fried soft shell crab. I also ordered the Cali lobster roll, but there isn't a strong truffle flavor at all. Service is also really friendly too. The server checked on my takeout order as soon as I came in, even though it had plates of food in both his hands.

One of the biggest hidden kept gems on the west side. I was so amazed by every entree we received. The seafood was incredible. The Lobster Roll was the best item on the menu, and I highly recommend it. Service was above and beyond, along with super friendly staff. They have plenty of outdoor (patio seating) and indoor (bar seating). It was nice to dine at a laid back, seafood restaurant and really enjoy the food! Will definitely be back.

I got the lobster tacos on Uber eats. For the price it's a great deal. In this case, you get what you pay for. So don't expect anything fancy looking. It was edible to me.

We stumbled on Lobster and Beer in Santa Monica during a day trip to the Pier. It's tiny, tucked into an odd-shaped space with a small outside eating area. The fellow behind the counter was pleasant and helpful, explaining that the difference between a Connecticut Lobster Roll and a Maine Lobster Roll is that one is hot, the other cold. We ordered the Connecticut roll. It came quickly and was almost too pretty to eat, but we did and enjoyed it very much. Then, the counter person came by with a Maine roll, saying they had made an extra roll for someone else's order and offered it to us. We graciously accepted and thoroughly enjoyed it, too. This kind of "find" is part of the joy of traveling with a bit of curiosity. Highly recommended.

We had lobster roll and, cheese grilled sandwich. It's very cheesy , greasy and delicious. They are perfect with beers. I like here ambiance , remind of me San Francisco old authentic pub. Also, staffs are really friendly, professional. We are so lucky to have this pub in my neighborhood.

Back again! I came here several times years ago pre-pandemic breakout and I've been dreaming of their lobster grilled cheese + tomato soup combo ever since. Their happy hour is DAILY from 11:30-7pm then 9-10pm and you'll save a few bucks on food and drinks so I recommend. My mom and I came on a weekday late lunch and the place was busy! They offer a large selection of beers and there's several TVs playing sporting events or movies so definitely a fun place to visit! While the aesthetics are more hole-in-the-wall style sports bar than anything else; the food is to die for. Parking in Palms is challenging. There are some free street parking spots available on Motor the block before the restaurant and there are also some free spots on Palms by the school and then onto the small street of the school, located about a block away. Lobster grilled cheese 5/5, this comes w a side of tomato soup that's also incredible and the sourdough bread + grilled cheese with lobster is a winning combo. So glad I came back to have this again. Lobster quesadilla 4/5 and 5/5, this was my mom's order and she loved dipped the quesadilla pieces into a spiced dill sauce that came on the side but this was less of a favorite to me than my grilled cheese

The entrance to their parking garage is off of Palms Blvd. You'll see a Lobster & Beer sign on your left. There are several parking spaces dedicated to Lobster & Beer customers. Happy hour at the time of this review is 11AM-7PM and 9PM-10PM. Beer of the week is always a steal. They've added new food items over the last few months I've been a patron here. The staff is awesome. They change up the draft selection pretty often. I recommend the chicken tenders! The chefs know how to batter chicken just as well as they know how to batter seafood

Sydney was our server and she was very attentive and hospitable! My father and I came in for a quick lunch and to enjoy their taco Tuesday special. He ordered the chicken rings, fried fish, and blackened fish tacos trip. I had the lobster, Cajun shrimp, and fried fish taco. My favorite was the fried fish taco. The lobster taco at first looked like it was filled with rice, but turns out it's more of a shredded lobster. Sweet and light with the flavor and the crunch of lettuce compliments the sauce they add. Very nice, will be coming back again soon :)

Still a great place for seafood and many local draft beers. I'm talking Calabasas local! Whatever wheat draft I had with blood orange was great. First time eating inside. Big tv's showing NFL games, at least one with news-RIP President Carter. Everything we had was delicious - Connecticut lobster roll, trio of lobster tacos, tomato bisque and poke bowl. The roll seems to have gotten smaller with less lobster but satisfied my friend. She doesn't usually like tomato soup but ordered her own bisque after tasting it. There's a smoky, spicy chipotle aioli with my tacos. Absolutely delicious. Great service and we sat in a spacious comfortable booth. Great, patient service and they welcomed our dog inside. Prices are reasonable. Need to come back more often. They do have happy hour, even late night!

Decent crab sandwich and options for cold and hot lobster rolls which is nice to see!

Quick lobster rolls and tasty coconut shrimp. The Connecticut roll was delicious and had plenty of lobster. The service was quick and friendly and the coconut shrimp was nothing to write home about but still reliable. Glad to find a new spot to grab a quick lobster roll when the hankering is there! Cute patio option if you don't dig the vibe inside, but I think both are charming.

This place is awesome. Moving to LA from Chicago 7 years ago has been amazing especially with great places like this to go to. I believe it was Monday Night Football and the place was packed. Some of the best bartenders in the city put on NBA TV for us to watch Derrick Rose receive his flowers from the Chicago Bulls at halftime just because they knew how big of fans we are. They shared in our joy by letting us experience that in the restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is just as good if not better and there's always fun to be had. Ask for Gary, Sean or Calvin and you are in for a great visit to what we refer to as The L&B.

Great lobster tacos on Happy Hour menu which is most of the weekdays . I will be back as the flavors and quality of the lobster is very good. I believe you can park in the structure which is all part of the same building. I happened to find a place on Motor Ave. I will be back!!

Meh overall, the clam chowder and shrimp sandwich was top notch, the crispy cod was ok, the lobster quesadilla wasn't great to any of us. I spent a pretty penny, nearly $200 and was not pleased with the end result

The food here is amazing!!! We got 2 Connecticut lobster rolls, a cup of clam chowder (which does not have bacon-- yay!), the lobster mac & cheese, and the tater tots/fries with cheese. Everything was delicious. The ambiance is very dive-bar/hole in the wall-esque in the best way. The service was also really good. Would highly recommend this spot for anyone craving a lobster roll in West LA!

Delicious and authentic lobster roll! Vibes are super chill and service is super easy ordering at the counter. Great happy hour deals every day! Will def be back.

Food and Service, Great! Ambiance, pretty cool little spot. I had ordered the cajun shrimp roll and it was very delicious, a lot of flavor. Also ordered the old bay dry rub traditional wings which were really good, totally recommend both items. We were well taken care of by Sydney, very attentive and welcoming. Would definitely come back again. Almost forgot, their Motor Ave IPA beer is definitely a must get.

My husband vouched for this place and I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous about eating lobster from a dive bar looking restaurant. Glad I listened to him because the food was so good. We ordered the lobster tots, lobster grill cheese, and Connecticut lobster roll. "Yep, we're greedy!" Lol. They are not stingy with the lobster meat either! Every bite I took, was chunks of lobster, well seasoned. Service was quick. I'd definitely dine again!

Lobster & Beer was so good I almost don't want to tell anyone about it (but no gatekeeping here). I had the lobster mac and cheese and their signature lobster roll--both were incredible! The lobster portions were generous, the bread was buttery and perfect, and the price was super fair for the quality. The vibe was chill, the service was great, and everything just hit the spot. Might make this my regular spot!

Ambiance: it's a trendy bar restaurant located in Palms, they have set up outdoor patio seating, and similar indoor bench tables and chairs, and there is a small Pac-Man arcade machine down the hallway Service: you place the order at counter and they bring food to your table, self served water, utensils, and spicy sauces Food & Drink: obviously their menu is full of lobster items LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE - *** spiral paste/3 cheese/Maine lobster & premium seafood, creamy taste CONNECTICUT ROLL - **** Warm Maine lobster cooked in herb butter with a swipe of mayo topped with old bay, classic lobster roll, recommend LOBSTER GRILLED CHEESE - **** Diced Maine Lobster with gruyere/jack cheese and green onions on sourdough bread, served with a cup of tomato bisque, rich in flavors, recommend MOTOR AVE IPA - *** bitter taste SEA DOG BLUE PAW WILD BLUEBERRY WHEAT ALE - **** refreshing citrus flavor, recommend Price: small to medium portions, decent quality, expect $40~$45 per person

One of the best lobster rolls ever!!! Aside from one I had in the Hawaii, this is def the second best. The Connecticut roll was filling and perfectly cooked. I loved the old bay cheese fries! They weren't just good because of the seasoning, but the fries themselves were also delicious. I'd eat here daily if I could!!

I've been to Lobster & Beer at least 3 times. At first, I loved the relaxed vibe of the restaurant's interior. Chill staff members, a TV for sports, and a Northeast feel with the decor. Plenty of dog-friendly patio seating out front, though noisy Motor Ave traffic whizzing by can be distracting. My go-to has always been the Maine roll. I liked theirs and it was comparable to my fav from Cousins. Soft, buttery bun, overflowing with tender and juicy lobster, and not too much in terms of extras. Let the lobster and bread sing, and just accent with a touch of mayo, lemon, maybe a little seasoning and green onion. I was an immediate fan. However, in the past year or so, something seems to have changed. Maybe they order from different vendors. Maybe they changed up the recipe a bit. It's taken a step back for me. Same goes for the warm Connecticut, which I don't like as much as the Maine, they need to simplify more. Don't get me wrong, their rolls are not bad, just not as simple as I like. The buns seem denser now. The dressings seem more prominent and the lobster has taken a back seat. Quantity seems to have skimped a bit too. It's also pretty drab when you walk in to order now. FWIW, I do like their lobster grilled cheese/tomato bisque and lobster quesadilla as an add-on to supplement the rolls for a full stomach. Such a shame this place has lost its luster! Cousins is still on a high pedestal for me, Lobster & Beer has a lot of work to do to gain some ground back.

Great Food Great Service I'll be back! Lobster Rolls are YUM and so is the Clam Chowder.

Ya come for the lobster, but you stay for the tater tots! Okay, not really, but both are really, really great. Obviously, ordered the lobster roll, which was great, but if you're not incredibly into seafood (it's okay, even if you're at a lobster restaurant), the tater tots are a good aside from the mariscos. More significantly, the service was really great and the price good. Given how expensive things are nowadays, Lobster & Beer was a nice respite from crazy expensive places (especially in Palms / Culver City). Recommended (and they have pacman!)

Came here for happy hour before an event in Culver City. The lobster and shrimp rolls are excellent! But pricey.. so it's a good thing they have happy hour and a discounted menu. The atmosphere is casual and a good option forfor hanging out with friends over a beer.

Great consistent wala le place by me! I love their tacos and beer. I think the ahi taco is the best, lobster taco but on the dry side. I could eat the sweet potato fries all day if my waist line allowed it! Depending when you go service can be fast but definitely on game days just expect a wait and be patient.

Love stumbling across this place. It was such an impromptu visit and I'll definitely be back. Shared old bay fries, lobster Mac and a sangria with with a friend. I had a warm lobster roll which was so good! My friend had a truffle lobster roll and enjoyed it.The vibes were great! Staff were so lively and friendly even near closing time. I would definitely return.

Tried to order through Uber eats because they had a buy one get one free for lobster tacos and shrimp tacos and a $15 off for $40 deal. Order was cancelled within minutes. Called the restaurant to check if there was an issue with inventory, and there wasn't. The person on the phone said they could fulfill the order but it would be full price for the shrimp tacos and no $15 discount. The employee stated that she didn't see any other discounts and specifically that they have never offered buy one get one free for their shrimp tacos. I offered to show them the deal upon paying for the food and after speaking with their manager, they declined. According to uber eats support, deals offered by the store are from the store and not uber eats so I couldn't understand why they wouldn't honor the discounts/promos if they supposedly are having issues with their uber eats app but still taking orders over the phone. Sounds like they don't have an issue with the app and instead have an issue honoring promos that they advertise, especially if they feel like customers are getting good deals. If you don't want to honor the promos, don't advertise them...and definitely don't lie about it and not offer the same deals over the phone when I call. Best part is after the call with the employee, they stopped accepting orders all together. The uber eats support did acknowledge that they accepted one order today out of 7. Really wanted to support this restaurant and I think they failed in handling this situation properly.

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon because I was really craving shellfish. Great prices on their happy hour and taco Tuesday menus, casual and not pretentious, food came out quickly, and no one bothered me. Michael was the right amount of friendly and not chatty at all, so I got to enjoy my meal the way I wanted to--alone! The inside gives me dive bar by the beach vibes. Lobster tacos were tender and fresh. Shrimp roll was on well-toasted brioche and I didn't feel like they skimped on portions. I sent the menu and location to my neighbors (who are pescatarian) right after I ate my food because it was so good. I originally went to the Santa Monica location and they gave me takeout when I asked for it for here, and the guy behind the bar definitely would've rather been talking about self funding his "mini indie film" than be taking my order. Glad there's another location! Will be back. Would probably eat here multiple times a week.

parking around here is tough. one little girl working here. i decide on the lobster quesadilla. tasty.. edible.. not terribly cheesey. i would have liked sour cream/guac. it also took way too long to make. there was people in the place but i guess they are just slow. they gave me some kinda spicy sauce. check it out.

Amazing happy hour deal and service!!! You must try their lobster grilled cheese, coconut shrimp, and shrimp roll! We also had the lobster tacos, which were good but not as good as everything else. Happy hour ends at 7pm!

Fun happy hour. Nice staff. Relaxed atmosphere at a good price. Decent food with upbeat music and laidback crowd.

This restaurant is perfection! Came here with a friend tonight since they never had a lobster roll. When you walk in, it definitely has a casual, laidback fun vibes. It has lots of seating and TVs in which many people were watching the game. My friend and I ordered from the extensive menu which had multiple lobster rolls, appetizers, sides and beer selections. While there was seating inside, they also had seating outside which was perfect if you wanted to enjoy a beautiful day with your lobster roll. I chose the Connecticut lobster roll and the lobster Mac and cheese. My friend chose the classic roll. Everything was delicious and had a really good sizing. The service was great as well in which the servers frequently checked up on us and made sure we were fine. The pricing was really reasonable for the dishes also! I highly recommend this place!

I love that there is a crab sandwich option for those who do not want to have lobster

It's hard to find some quality lobster roll without breaking the bank. Luckily, Lobster & Beer does just that. Couple of friends and I were able to discover this spot on our way to Malibu. While the location doesn't have a large table setting, it does accommodate a lot more smaller parties, but we made it work. Parking can be challenging, we were all able to find it on street. The food was great and everything you expect fresh seafood to taste. Tots were crispy and soup was souping. I had the crab sandwich and my SO had the lobster, and in my opinion, crab over lobster. Both were tasty, I just felt the crab tasted a tad bit better.

Parking; there's a couple of street metered parking, but if you go to the back of the restaurant (behind the red building), you'll pass by the apartments and find a parking structure. It will say two hour parking and have the back entrance door to "lobster and beer." The service was great! It was our first time there and the workers were very helpful and sociable. I felt welcome at the place and the ambiance was lively The lobster roll itself is on my top three. I highly recommend, as it expected my expectations. It was flavorful and delicious; especially with the lemon. I also had the lobster Mac and cheese, that was a 3/5. The fries from the happy hour menu, yup definitely ordering that again. Overall very happy with how delicious the food was and happy with my experience and

Sports bar with a super casual ambiance and take out food options. Maybe I wasn't expecting to spend $120ish for small portions that came in tin foil or take out boxes, but overall I wouldn't say the prices are justified for what you get, and I'm the type to pay good money for seafood options/lobster rolls. We dined in and wasn't greeted by anyone, wasn't shown to a table, and depended on some other customer to tell us that we order through the QR codes. Even as they served us our food, we didn't feel like they were very welcoming. Most of the dishes, especially the shrimp and rice dish were completely cold when they served it to us, lacking flavor as well. I'd say you can get better bang for your buck elsewhere if you're in LA.

Food is delicious. You guys have to order the Connecticut roll, lobster bisque and the happy hour tacos so delicious this is my to go for lunch. Love it here specially the service Sydney takes care of you. If you have any questions, Sydney will answer them with a smile. Like the ambience it's great they have TVs for sports of your desire.

First, you order at the counter. The food 4.8/5: we ordered the Calamari Fries; amazing. The Clam Chowder; amazing. The Coconut Shrimp; amazing. The finale - Connecticut Roll was the buttery and delicious. Wish they gave more lobster meat in it. Amazing! Service 5/5: Gary was on top of Everything; from serving our food to make us feel at home. He spoke w a friendly tone and went as far as to offer their homemade hot sauce which was amazing. Not too spicy just perfect. Drinks 2.5/5: Waay too much ice and too watery on all four mixed drinks. I could barely taste the liquor. I guess that's why they call it Lobster n Beer. Ambiance 4/5: It's a relatively small place inside w a few booth/tables. You can tell Gary works hard and enjoys what he does. Great attitude and service. I without a doubt, highly recommend this place. Cheers. My bad, no food pics due to us starving. I'll be back.

Where can you get a legit lobster roll for around 20 bucks? You know where! Lobster and Beer also has a great happy hour and Taco Tuesday specials. They were blasting 'Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away' when I walked in and I knew I was at the right place. I opted for the Connecticut Roll which was the warmed-up version of their lobster roll and it really hit the spot. The soft brioche bun was the perfect vessel for the tender, buttery chunks of lobster. We also tried lobster tacos on the happy hour menu. It came with three tacos and a spicy salsa. It was a good portion, but it was kind of lacking in the lobster flavor. Loved the kick from the salsa though. Then we decided to have one more round of drinks, and decided to try the coconut shrimp on the hh menu. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and you could actually taste the coconut in the batter! Nothing to complain about regarding service. You order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring your order to your table. The decor was giving "coastal dive bar" which reminded me of the days I would go bar hopping in Huntington Beach/Newport. Happy to get a slice of nostalgia form my days in Orange County in a random area in Palms!

Had a craving for a lobster roll and came upon this place in LA. The place gives pub vibes, note that you're not getting full proof alcohol here so best to order beer for drinks. You also have to order and pay at the bar so good place to go for a quick bite. The tots were good! Came with plenty of pieces of lobster which I was surprised by. Lobster wasn't as fresh I hoped but it was tasty. The lobster roll had a decent about of lobster as well. All piled on top and barely in the bun though so it looks a bit misleading but this pretty common I've noticed at restaurants. Overall, I'd come back again as it was flavorful and decent priced.

Came here for happy hour for a friend's birthday on a weekday and was able to find street parking right on the corner of the intersection! We were able to grab a table without issue. We got the 4-piece coconut shrimp ($6.50), jalapeno crab dip ($12), 3-piece lobster tacos ($12.50), lobster mac and cheese, and more! Our food came out quickly, and the servers were really kind. Everything was very good but nothing mind-blowing--the only thing I probably would not get again is the mac and cheese, which fell a bit on the bland side and seemed to be something that might be better when reheated.

The best ever. We love it 24/7/365. My brother and I come here at least once a week. When my son comes in from Arkansas this is usually the first stop we make from the airport. YAY!!!!

The food and service here were great! Calvin and Dylan were both so friendly. The Connecticut lobster roll and crab roll were both delicious. Pro tip: get the fries and dip them in the lobster bisque! Great, casual atmosphere with good music and fun 90s rock memorabilia. I will absolutely be back!

Amazing food! Went for a diner with my husband, loved every moment from greeting to great customer service and food!

My friend suggested coming here. I had a Maine lobster roll and a cup of clam chowder while my friend had the nachos with barbacoa beef. The food was good and the service was friendly and welcoming. I especially liked the clam chowder. Parking was easy and convenient in the free parking structure that you access behind the restaurant in the alley. The place is small but charming with some outdoor seating. My friend said the restaurant is crowded at night.
