The Shellback Tavern came to life as The Surf in 1952. Famous for there pizza and reasonably priced drinks, the Surf became an instant hit on the beach bar scene. The original owners were Don Hartsong and Ed Jamison. In 1973 local bartender Richard Swartz and his partner Jim Korshall purchased the bar and renamed it the Shellback Tavern. Jim sold his interest to former Hermosa councilman Jack Wood. Jack sold to local resident and patron Steve Petroff in 1976. Steve and Richard remained partners until May of 2000. Manhattan native Bob Beverly took over ownership in 2000 and still owns the Shellback today.
YOU CAN ROLLERSKATE/BIKE THERE FROM REDONDO OR HERMOSA SOUTH BAYS FINEST!!
Fun times!
Coldest Budweiser in town
Same owner, staff for years and it's perfect hangout for friendly locals & tourists alike. Delish Bloody Mary's.
It's all in one place. Whether being on the beach all day or the destination bar after a strand bike ride or skate, the Shellback is the neighborhood bar where the staff knows ya and if they don't they make you feel as though you've been coming in forever. Best sunsets from your stool seating at the bar or views of the Pacific from most every table. Generous food and pours.... Epicenter of beach divebar with a sense of neighborhood feel.
Good food but a dive bar.
