Hennessey's Tavern — Restaurant in Redondo Beach

Seriously Amazed about a few things here. Went with a friend to try something new in Redondo. Walked in, no host to be seen. Went to the bar and they told us we can sit anywhere, which was nice. Our waitress approached us, and didn't even mention her name, didn't ask us how we were doing or even if we had been their before. She layed the menus down and her first words were if we wanted to start with a drink, we ordered our drinks and I couldn't figure out what to get at this location so I asked the waitress, when she had returned what they were famous for or what they specialized in. It had honestly seemed like a new question to her, as she hesitated a bit and told me what was good, but didn't seem at all sure of herself. Her attitude was a bit weird, she wasn't rude but just seemed like she was there to take our order and lay down the food. When the food had come she came by, placed it on out table and said "there you go" and immediately walked away. The order of fries was beyond "really greasy". They were so soggy due to all the grease. I had the chicken avocado sandwich which looked beautiful! but taking a bit nothing really had flavor to it which was bizarre. My friend had the Nachos which we understood had potatoes in place of classic tortilla chips. these too were extremely greasy, that the potatoes we thought would be at least cripsy but weren't. Overall the experience here sucked. Attached are photos of the grease...

This is a kick-ass Irish pub full of wonderful people and epic staff, amazing karaoke with singers who have real talent and bands that can play a diverse range of songs from Michael Jackson to rock to 90s to surfer. The damn chicken nachos are so good I could inhale them with a straw and is a huge portion. The bartenders here deserve raises and awards because they treat you like you're a superstar! They made my electric lemonade like it was from my home state and always made me feel like I was at the Cheers bar. The crowd is diverse as hell from surfers, skaters, businessmen, locals, out of towners, goth, cougars and more that anyone fits in with such positive vibes and fun. I have never seen such spectacular energy and joy! It's like a mental vacation to just BE HERE. The women's bathroom is so small that it's like being in an airplane, but you meet people in there while waiting and have a great convo laughing about it. They have a huge patio, too, so if you get hot from the crowd, you can go outside and chill out. The heart of the wild and the fun you seek, lies within this bar and you'll kick yourself if you don't come down now and imbibe of the epic food, awesome drinks and amazing musical talent. Get down here now! You...

Walked into Hennessy Tavern this morning. The server said, “sit anywhere and we will get your order.” My husband and I sat down for about 10 minutes prior to Another couple sits down and immediately they are waited on. After letting The server know we had been sitting 10 minutes prior to the other couple, she was rude, dismissive and after reluctantly taking our order, pushed the other couple’s (White) order in before ours. My husband and I have eaten at this restaurant seated outside the day before without a problem. After complaining about our service, the couple who was served before us, made a nasty and insensitive remark as well minimizing the incident, commented, “ what’s the big deal?” I said, “well you will never understand !” Furthermore, the server made another attempt to minimize the behavior of pushing the other couples order through before ours, we left the restaurant before our order arrived. As an African American the overt racism displayed at Hennessy Tavern was unacceptable and DO NOT recommend...
