Manhattan Beach Nightlife
The place is full of history. The
Beach Boys lived here and many actors, actresses and
athletes come to the legendary bars. It is, first,
foremost and forever, a casual surf community with a
Beverly Hills budget.
Manhattan has two bar areas, downtown and the north end
(also referred to as El Porto in recognition of its
colorful past). Downtown used to be THE party
spot in all of California, but when neighboring Hermosa
opened up Pier Ave., the heavy party crowd headed to HB.
Manhattan may be a bit more mellow than it's sister to
the south, but the crowd is local and kicked-back. And
they can definitely party, especially after one of the
major downtown events (Manhattan Open AVP, 6 Man, the Surfest
and Christmas fireworks).
