The Shellback Tavern is a Manhattan Beach landmark, a great place to grab a cold beer and good food just steps from the ocean and the Manhattan Beach Pier. The beer at Shellback is the coldest in town, and has a thermometer on the wall to prove it- it always stays at 28 degrees or below, the perfect refreshment after a long day in the sun. It draws a good crowd on the weekends, and breakfast is served on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
