Pat's II Cocktail Lounge

There's not much to say about this straightforward, no-frills bar on the PCH (not to be confused with NoHo's Pat's Cocktail Lounge). It's your standard dive, filled with South Bay regulars and rock blaring from the jukebox. It gained some notoriety in 2012 when a bar fight turned fatal, but in general it's a welcoming, laid-back spot. Stop by while in Redondo Beach for stiff—and cheap!—drinks, and shoot a game of pool or darts.
