Hurricanes Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Used to love this place. Their Google listing shows their closing time as 1:30am. I was there on a Monday, and shortly after buying a $9 beer, my first, I was told I needed to leave because they were closing. This was at 11:00pm. I had taken maybe two sips out of my drink at the time I was approached. They stated that they close early if they are slow, but I was given no fair warning, and after complaining, I was told to "put down your beer and leave". As a business owner, I am appalled at a business that would not live up to their advertised hours of operation, and not offer to refund a product I purchased but was not allowed to consume during their published business hours. I was further disappointed in my subsequent treatment. Their approach was threatening, not explanatory, much less conciliatory. They have lost a regular over this poor choice. There are many good bars on Main Street that treat their patrons well, honor their published hours of operation, and don't subject their loyal regulars to intimidation tactics. Do yourself a favor and find an alternative watering hole on Main St. I still gave them 2 stars because it is a great location and I have been treated well there in the past. Just very disappointed, because I find no joy in poorly rating any establishment. Look at my profile and you will see, I have historically only reviewed...

My husband and I needed some lunch while in Huntington Beach. We couldn't decide what new place to try...then we looked up - actually my husband looked up.

HURRICANES Bar & Grill.

We wanted to see what kind of food they had to offer so we walked to the upstairs entrance and the menu was posted. You will see it on the photos that I included in this review.

We made our way up the stairs and into the bar/restaurant. Greeted with a friendly smile and good service we chose a seat and began to read through the menu to make our selections.

My husband chose the PIER PLEASURE and I chose the CALI TUNA MELT. Both dishes were very good. The Cali Tuna Melt was huge. I had an iced tea and my husband decided to have a drink called The Irish Trash Can. Served in a small bucket, it was Goooooood. Yeah, I had to taste it.

The waitress/bar tender was great at making sure we were well taken care of. although she was busy and the only waitress/server at the time, she made sure we were not forgotten. great customer service!

There is out door seating too. It overlooks Main Street - a chance to take the view in from a bird's eye view. We chose to sit indoors just to get out of the sun for awhile.

My husband and I would recommend this Bar and Grill for a quick lunch and drink before continuing your day in...

Hurricanes is our favorite sports bar. However it is more than that. The food rivals our favorite restaurants with selections from hamburgers (that you typically can't finish) to great Mexican food (the fajitas are unrivalled) to a superb New York strip. There are many excellent choices in between. New menu items are frequently added. Then there are the numerous Happy Hour selections. The Avodillas are the best and the chicken fingers are a favorite. And it goes on: potato skins, a plate full of nachos, lettuce wraps and beef skewers to name a few. The portions are generous and the half price makes for outstanding value. The half price drinks complete the Happy Hour picture. The environment is friendly and welcoming with Junior the manager stopping by to chat. Kerry the general manager will also say Hi, and is always monitoring the service and the satisfaction with the food selection most of which he conjures up with Mauricio the chef. The late night DJ's draw a crowd. In addition to evenings, we often stop by for lunch when we take home a half croissant club sandwich we can't finish. Try the potato salad, one of Kerry's creations. We're pretty fussy and it's the best. Needless to say we highly recommend Hurricanes....
