Tower 12

"Come Fridays and Saturdays, the Hermosa pier and surrounding downtown area turn into a Moscow Mule-soaked paradise. If you’re looking for the heart of the action, get a reservation at Tower 12. The nautical-themed restaurant/bar is located right on the pier and has a solid menu of burgers, pizza, and other things people want to eat when they’re drinking. If you stick around late enough, the space itself will turn into a full party, but for a change of scenery, you’re steps away from every other kind of nightlife as well." - nikko duren

"Hermosa Beach’s beachside Tower 12 is open for patio and dining room seating with reduced capacity and spaced-out tables. Check their Instagram for more information." - brett keating

"Very few neighborhoods in LA know how to party like Hermosa Beach knows how to party. Come Fridays and Saturdays, the Hermosa pier and surrounding downtown area turn into a vodka-soaked paradise, and if you’re looking to head into the heart of the action, get a reservation at Tower 12. The nautical-themed restaurant/bar is located right on the pier and has a very solid menu of burgers and pizza and other things everybody likes eating. If you stick around late enough, the space itself will turn into a full-on party, but if you’re looking a change of scenery, you’re steps away from every other kind of nightlife you could want." - brant cox

"Every Thanksgiving you and your friends come home and go to the same lame South Bay bars and act like you’re 21. Take your tradition into adulthood at Tower 12, the bar and restaurant right on the Hermosa Pier that’s quickly become our go-to drinking spot in an area with no shortage of drinking spots. The difference at Tower 12 is it’s actually a pretty solid restaurant in its own right, with a Hamptons-y aesthetic that isn’t nearly as irritating as it sounds." - brant cox

"It’s been a successful day at the beach, and you and your friends don’t want it to be over yet. You aren’t getting into Bungalow with those flip flops on, so go to Tower 12 in Hermosa Beach instead. In fact, just spend the whole day there. The sand is cleaner, the water is nicer, and Tower 12 is the perfect post-beach drinking spot. On the second floor on the Hermosa Pier, this bar/restaurant pulls in crowds for cold drinks and good burgers, and that’s all that really matters to you at this point. Stick around at night when the DJ appears and things get a bit wild." - brant cox
