The Lighthouse Cafe

The Lighthouse Cafe is an iconic cocktail bar and live music venue on Pier Ave in Hermosa Beach, just steps from the strand. The venue hosts live performances nearly every night of the week, spanning jazz, reggae, salsa, disco, funk, and 90s tribute acts. Sunday brunch pairs live jazz with a welcoming, all-ages atmosphere until 1pm, after which the venue shifts to a 21-plus crowd. Featured in the film La La Land, the cafe carries a cultural cachet that resonates with locals and visitors alike. Happy hour specials and a full bar round out the experience, with outdoor seating available for those who prefer the ocean breeze.
