OB's Pub & Grill — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

Its very unfortunate that this occurred. I've been coming here for a couple months while some of my friends have been coming here for years for trivia. There's a presumed "2 drink minimum" on trivia night and my group rarely ever misses the mark on meeting that since we like to patronize the establishment and the trivia guy. We tend to get food too along with the drinks.

However, this past Wednesday, 9/11/2024, a new server was taking our order. Right when we were about to make our order, she immediately tells us that there is a $30minimum buy, and that if we don't meet it, she'll have to charge us the difference. We were so baffled by that comment and she was so aggressive in her attitude about having us meet that $30 minimum. First of all, a "2 drink minimum" isn't even near $30, when did this change? 2nd, while she was taking our order, she kept insisting and asking us to order more to meet the $30 minimum very aggressively and rudely. At one point I had to tell her to relax and that we're probably getting more drinks throughout the trivia night. She stopped to finish taking our orders and kept reiterating that if we don't meet the 30$ minimum, she'll have to charge us the difference, as if it was a threat.

Unfortunately, it didn't stop her from dropping by and keep dropping the same phrases and statements about how if we get a couple more drinks we'll meet our $30 minimum! It felt like harassment at this point, and I couldn't really enjoy my meal or trivia itself because she would constantly hover us and harass us about ordering more drinks. In the end we did meet it but not because of her incessant nagging and rudeness.

I don't recall any other table being harassed by it, but I can't confirm entirely because the bar was loud along with trivia. This was such a bad experience that my group is probably not coming back again even though the trivia was a great time to meet up...

I stumbled into 0B Pub and Grill on a lazy Sunday afternoon, hoping to catch some football and grab a quick bite. Well, let me tell you, this place is like NFL Central on steroids. They've got more TVs than a tech store has gadgets, and the bartenders are like game-switching ninjas. The moment one game ended, they'd ninja-flip to the next game.

Speaking of bartenders, one of them is the world champion of "trash ball" from LA's sunny beaches. She proudly flaunted her sunburn tanlines from dominating trashcan basketball. Forget the NBA; she's the MVP of the wastepaper world. 🗑️🏀

Now, let's talk about the food. It was great, and the atmosphere was so awesome I thought I was floating on a cloud of buffalo sauce. If you want to watch sports while witnessing some patrons attempt the legendary 10 taco challenge, this place is a must-visit. We even had the privilege of watching "Fat Boy Surf Club" try to win it all while anxiously eyeing the bathroom door like it held the secrets of the universe. 🌮🏄

In short, 0B Pub and Grill is where sports, trashcan ball, and taco challenges collide in a glorious explosion of fun. Don't...

2 parts to this. Went in on a Monday around noon. Had a great meal outside. The food was amazing along with the service. The guy was on top of it and very polite. Which made me want to come back. The next time I came in was on Sunday around 5:15pm. Saw an empty spot at the bar. There's only 3 seats and the other two have already been taken. The one open was right next to the register. So I scooted it over a little bit and sat down. A server came to the register, said "hi", I said "hi" back and then she said "you cant sit there cause I need the room to work." I wasnt even in her way. The second I stood up she grabbed the chair and moved it back closer to the register. There was plenty of room for both of us. She didnt have to be rude and she doesnt need that space! She didnt even use the chair. I decided just to leave and I guess I wont be going back. If you dont like your JOB, Quit! Dont push your bad...
