Project Barley Taps and Grill

This was a cool little hole in the wall at the Redondo Beach pier, the staff was awesome. The atmosphere was fantastic and the view was even better, they have great beer and pretty decent tequila. Definitely give this place a try. So eat local, spend local and shop local.

We love it here!! Great food, great staff, and the location is awesome!! And they also have great music!! Super fun vibe!!

Awesome experience and an EPIC sunset here at Project Barley. Located on the Redondo pier there’s an opportunity for people watching and to watch boats coming and going. We had beer wine and pretzels. All were delicious! The service was friendly and helpful. Totally enjoyed our visit here and fully recommend a visit here if you’re in the area.

What a great spot! The beer is fantastic! The service is outstanding! And the venue is one of a kind. I can’t speak about the food, but the beer was excellent. Where else can you get craft beer made right on the pier? Great vibe too. Kathy the bartender is a gem too!

Fun place to hang out and enjoy award-winning beer. The staff are so nice and grab a delicious smash burger while you're listening to the live music. The location is really cool on the international harbor.

The atmosphere,service and waterfront location are very enjoyable. They always have some form of entertainment going on every day of the week. Live bands,karaoke,open mic. I would highly recommend this place.

Project Barley is the kind of neighborhood spot you hope to find but rarely do. It’s got everything—amazing people, delicious food, and some of the best craft beer around. Whether we’re grabbing a late-night dinner, singing our hearts out at karaoke, or catching live music, it’s always a good time. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff truly make you feel like part of the family. They go all out for holidays too, which makes it a fun and festive place to celebrate. From casual weeknights to weekend hangouts, Project Barley never disappoints. It’s more than just a bar—it’s a community hub. We’re lucky to have it in the neighborhood!

Live music, great view of the water. Spicy fish tacos, good beer selection. Kid friendly

Barley Burger was very tasty, as well as the fries. Beers were excellent. The day was cool and breezy but beautiful nonetheless as the sun shined brightly through a gap in the marine layer whereas most other surrounding areas were overcast. Time well spent at a nice laid back low key place with friendly staff. I will be back.

Very chill and laid back vibe. Good spot to hit for a quick bite and a drink. Whether you're hanging out at the pier or on a lunch break. The setup is a little janky. You line up to order with the bartender, pay, take the pager, find a table, wipe it down because no one working here does, now wait for the pager to buzz, stand up, collect your food from the other side of the bar, and sit down and enjoy your food. Service is hit or miss; nothing special. Tables are always dirty, sticky, and wobbly. Of course they have a tip prompt screen when you order.l, aside from handing me my drink, what else does the bartender do that merits a tip? Serious question.

I think I would've liked this place more had we not stopped for drinks and food a bit earlier. Because of that I found myself comparing what I ordered at Project Barley and what I had ordered at the precious location. I kind of found the burgers that had been talked up by my party a little lacking. My Country Songs burger ended up being mostly bbq sauce for the first few bites. That was because the smashed burgers came in at a little under weight. I think the ratio reached equilibrium by the last few bites but I wish they had gotten that problem a little ironed out. The service was okay as the server behind the counter seemed cordial, but the whole time it was a very infrequent occurrence to see them come out to the floor. The ambiance was off too. It was loud with the live musical and people talking loudly to get over the noise and lack of space. All in all, good burger or not, this just doesn't seem like my kind of food joint.

Difficult to find if you don't know the area or where to park. Small. Gotta pay for parking. Restrooms are along the boardwalk.

Location is chill, right on the pier so was nice at sunset. Beer was decent, food was ok, nothing to write home about. Service was ok. Comedy night was fun and the atmosphere was chill. Overall not a bad spot and you're right there for churros after.. I'd go again but just eat ahead of time.

Went here for lunch smash burger combo is amazing. Not only was the burger delicious, the fries and seasoning were also amazing. The people that work there are kind and the food does come out fairly quick. Of course, being on the international boardwalk you have a great view. My only small critique is that tables were full of crumbs and I didn't see anybody wiping them down.

Such a fun and low key place for lunch. The onion rings here are some of the best I have ever had. Batter stays on/ crispy/ flavorful and not greasy. Burgers and hot dogs with this side and a good beer- heaven!

Great supporters of Live Music!!! Diverse menu, and of course, quality beers! 3 locations all recommended!

Quite possibly the BEST smash burger in the South Bay, and more great beer choices than anyone ever needs. Ask Kara the bartender to sing for you, one of the most soulful voices you'll ever hear. Great spot, awesome view, cool stall and a chill vibe.

It seems like they have some great deals, and paying in cash is preferred. I ordered a guava cherry sour and relaxed under the sun for 10 minutes.

What more could you want? Amazing food (smash burger, tots, pretzel stellar) great vibe and service, reggae music, on the water. Could spend the whole day here. A gem

Came here for the smash burger but also to check out the live music scene here too since I happen to be at the pier. The burger was ok but the fact that there is regularly scheduled live music here from local bands is really cool. Each of the three Project Barley locations are unique with each their own dynamic and vibe. Definitely worth dropping by if you're visiting the area or if you are a local. Check out their IG for updates on who's performing!

Great beer looking out into the harbor and ocean. Good food. Only problem we had was being there in what felt like the coldest day of the year! Will be back when the worm weather returns.

Great place to hear music, enjoy a beer or wine and some good food. We had dinner previously so we did not eat a meal but we did end up ordering a pretzel with both the beer cheese sauce and the Bavarian mustard. I much prefer the Bavarian mustard. They seem to have some other great meals that I might want to come back to including the burger and breakfast. I had an amber ale that was really good. Sorry that I can't tell you what it was called but the sign was small and the suggestion came from one of the bartenders when I asked if they had a red or amber ale. The music was good and we enjoyed a nice cool night by the docks.

Great view, friendly staff, prices a bit lower than most neighbors, relaxed atmosphere. Food is ordered separately from alcohol, but otherwise everything is very quick. I got the Founder smash burger and the Enegren hef from the tap. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the two small-ish patties made it for just the right amount of meat. I think next time I'll ask for grilled onions (it comes with regular chopped onions, mustard, and ketchup) but I am very happy for what I got for $10 (pre tip). The Enegren was delightfully citrusy without being too sweet. Would have preferred a glass instead of a plastic cup, but at least the burger came in paper packaging. Parking kinda sucks, you're paying $2 an hour no matter what, but that's just the rules for the harbor. It seems lots of locals walk down here for a beer at sunset, which... well, I aspire to have that lifestyle.

Smaller beer selection compared to the behemoth that is Naja's next door but they curate their menu well. They have great food (the string fries are perfectly seasoned) and have breakfast specials on the weekend. Great service, beautiful views and they play several different football games on their various tvs and their smaller size means you can see the games from anywhere in the bar. Awesome place to bike to since it's right off the beach bike path.

Beautiful location great food friendly help lively crowd good music that starts earlier then most restaurants

1 - seeing the cook/chef get into it with the musician was concerning. Then, seeing they cook continue to be shitting to the musician was even worse. Wouldn't stop being a dick to the guy. 2 - food was suspect at best. Pulled pork was mediocre at best. Then, had just a hotdog. The 1.50 hotdog at Costco blows this trash out of the water which was 6.50!!! What did I pay for??? Honestly, this food is trash AND the guy yells at musicians who are working hard??? Screw this place.

Chicken nachos were awesome!! Also had the double smash burger and fries that were off the chart!!! AJ the bartender is the best around!! Great place to chill for an afternoon and listen to music or watch sports!

First time @ Project Barley Food: I've never had a smash burger before - burger over cooked & too much sauce - nicely seasoned but not that crisp - very small burger & not many fries Service: Great hospitality Good personality Ambiance: Can't beat the marina on Monday Overall: I wouldn't recommend burgers or fries but I'd come back for the view and a cold beer

My burger was delicious and they have some very good beer also. The location has a nice view of the harbor and boardwalk. There was plenty of indoor seating available while I was there. The bartender was attentive to our needs, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Went here because of an Instagram review boasting about their smash burger. They were alright. Nothing big or outstanding about it. Open air restaurant, view of the dock. Service was cool, only person we interacted with was the guy who took our order at the counter, and he was pleasant.

What a FANtastic place to enjoy a cold beer, the Pier and the Best Burger in town! A hidden Redondo treasure! Their Lomita location is different and AMAZING!!!

Nice place with good food. Right at the marina, too. Beer brewed locally. The tacos are spicy hot

Bottom Line Up Front: A very enjoyable tap house showcasing what the Project Barley Brewery Team can do from their main brewery in Lomita. All local. All delicious. Great community. Good vibes. Partnered burger stand connected. Military/Healthcare/Airline friendly. Redondo location opened FEB 2022. They have a solid variety of beers they brew, but also offer guest taps as well. Reasonably priced craft beer (for LA) and full of flavor. Open Mic: WED. Karaoke: THUR. Live Local Music: FRI-SAT-SUN. Hours may be extended (never violating CA/LA law) based on customer activity. They also have 750 ml rotating bottles for sale. (Crowlers, Growlers and 6-packs available at the main brewery in Lomita.) Co-located/Partnered with Proudly Serving Burger for on site food service; see the Proudly Serving Yelp page for more info on them. Military, Heathcare, and Airline Industry friendly, offering a discount for those that serve our Country and fight to keep America the Land of the Free, those that fight to keep us alive in our darkest hour, and those and sacrifice to keep our country connected from Coast to Coast.

Overall, Positive - Amazing location, great vibe, tasty beer, good service. Negatives - Advertised as fries cooked in duck fat, they are not. Ownership changed and did away with that. Ordered Carne Asada Fries, undercooked, no seasoning, bland under seasoned beef, nursing home pico. No spice. I'll try it again

Really good food & beer! I got the fish n chips, bacon wrapped hot dog sliders and gravy fries . The beer, I got the brown ale and the key lime sour, was awesome !

I like stopping by here for pint (or two) on the weekend or for one of the best burgers in town. Love that they always have at least 1 sour on tap. Music & vibe are on point and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Cheers!

Food is incredible! Ambiance is fine. It is small, but has a lot of character. Service was good. We really appreciated Elijah's informative recommendations. It was nice to speak to a local who had grown up in the area. The only thing weird was that you couldn't order a drink when/where you order your food. This requires one to wait in line twice (once at the food counter and once at the bartender station) unless you are content with water or bottled Coca Cola. There was no explanation given for why this is which is annoying and slightly frustrating. Apart from that, all is fantastic, and the food is so outstanding, I can't take a star away just for that inconvenience.

Great food & beer! The service is excellent & the views are unbeatable! We love everything about Project Barley! They have love music on the weekends too! It makes for a great afternoon sipping adult beverages with some fun music to groove to. Pro-tip - if you are looking for something a bit lighter to drink, ask for a 50/50 of their cider & seltzer. It's really refreshing too!

All of the staff are friendly and helpful. I never had to wait a long time for my food or beverage. And they were ALL tasty! Ambience and music were fantastic !

Good ipa in a fun environment next to the beach. It's great for people watching. Nice place on a warm day to enjoy a cold beer.

I dream about this burger. This is hands down the best burger in LA. The ambience as you enter the local watering hole is cozy and warm, from the friendly staff, to the craft beer, and the buzz of everyone enjoying the great food. This place is a 10/10. They even have duck fat fries. In France, potatoes fried in duck fat is the best. I haven't been able to find any places in the US, let alone LA, that do this and do this well. I will be coming back again and again and highly recommend you to try it for yourself.

If you want a good Wednesday with cover songs, good music and great burgers , this is the place to be.

Came here on a Sunday, they just started serving pancakes and breakfast burritos only on Sundays. I had the pancakes. They were great! My family and I sat and talked with the owner the whole time we were there. The bartender did a great job helping us find what we'd like to drink. I have a family member who has tinnitus so the quiet fall day was excellent for her.

Great ambiance. The bartender was able to select the perfect beer for the description I gave him of what I was looking for. The food was outstanding. The people who run the place are great conversationalists and amazing beer makers. We loved our time hanging out there and will definitely be back.

Great place great food and great service . Beer was awesome with lots of choices that change on regular basis . The owner went out of his way to make sire we where happy

Such a great place!!! Lots of drink options and the food is amazing. The best thing about Project Barley is the people who work there...especially JT, Miwa, and Jess. Oh...there's also the live music. This is truly our favorite spot on the pier!

Grab a burger from Proudly Serving, which is adjacent to Project Barley and drink one of the best beers in town while enjoying a fabulous burger ‍
