I've recently re-discovered and developed a deep appreciation for the Redondo Beach Pier. Just a stone's throw from the homogenous South Bay communities of Manhattan and Hermosa Beach, the Redondo Pier is a world all its own. It's a place where a variety of cultures, cuisines and customs fuse together. Perhaps more importantly, it's home to some of the best dive bars in the city. Here's a sampling:
Naja's Place - hundreds of beers on tap, live music
Old Tony's - for an amazing 180 degree view of the Pacific and a proper drink (ask for the house special: the Firechief)
Kilkenny's Irish Pub - lotsa' beers on tap. 40 plasma screens - great for sporting events
Starboard Attitude - three words: karaoke AND beer pong.
The bars are all located within walking distance of one another, so there's no need for a car. They're nestled right on the water, so the views are spectacular. They have friendly, knowledgeable service staff, and sometimes the nightly entertainment's not bad either. This is L.A., after all. Even the amateur performers are good.
I'm not suggesting taking a first date here, but when you want to kick back with good friends - it doesn't get any better than this.

I loved Naja's when I lived in Redondo - nothing quite like a sunny Sunday afternoon, kicking back with friends and having a few beers! You just made me nostalgic for Redondo Beach and I must learn more about this Starboard place!!
Great information as always Miss W-O-S!
