Shellback Tavern is a casual, staple neighborhood dive bar situated just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier. It is well-regarded for its classic local beach vibe, drinks, and signature fresh, crispy beer-battered chicken tenders served with fries.
Commenters express immense love and nostalgia for this South Bay staple, regularly giving shoutouts to their popular bartender, Mikey. While the general atmosphere and lunch offerings receive widespread praise, viewer opinions remain divided on whether the chicken tenders live up to the hype.
