Tower 12 is a new restaurant in Hermosa Beach that is truly a unique space for friends to kick back and enjoy incredible food and drinks.
Tower 12 has a welcoming and positive environment. Although the seating is a little packed, the service is outstanding. Along with the restaurant’s amazing assortment of food options, it has an upbeat and beachy atmosphere, and is always packed with locals.
Tower 12 opened on March 9 and is located on Hermosa Beach’s Pier Avenue on a second story deck with interconnected rooms that overlook the ocean and pier. The concept of the restaurant represents the South Bay community with various types of artwork that reflect its laidback and care free culture.
The menu was created by chef Brendan Collins. It consists of California-inspired spins on American classics including wood-fired pizzas, salads, and sandwiches. Tower 12 has two full-service bars specializing in handcrafted cocktails, 30 local brews on tap, and wine.
Tower 12 has various types of enjoyable entertainment ranging from game night on Tuesdays, karaoke on Thursdays and live music on Wednesdays and Fridays. The brilliant idea of having regular entertainment makes Tower 12 unique. The professional live performances set it apart from a regular restaurant by making it more appealing to the customers.
Tower 12 has an extensive variety of food choices on their menu, making it desirable to many different people. The pizza is especially tasty, with handmade sauce and an amazing crust. The chef did an incredible job at creating a menu that is both timeless and creative, transforming the most basic foods.
The most appealing part of Tower 12 is its joyful and carefree atmosphere. It is decorated with ‘70s surfboards and framed photographs of old Hermosa, which does an excellent job at incorporating historical parts of the South Bay into the restaurant. Its amazing energy, creative accessories and coastal style gives the restaurant a cozy and comfortable feeling for the customers.
One of Tower 12’s faults is its layout. Although there are three rooms that can all hold many people, the main seating area is very tight and unfunctional, making it not very comfortable for the customers. The compactness is manageable but not ideal.
The service at Tower 12 is magnificent and is higher quality than almost all other restaurants. All the workers always have a smile on their faces and are wonderful to all of their customers. The food and drinks always come out on time, and are served to the customers with a friendly face.
Tower 12 exceeds expectations with its diverse menu, relaxed mood, and prompt service. Its impeccable food and great location makes it unlike any other restaurant.
Enjoy a fantastic meal and amazing live performance at Tower 12 any day of the week from 11am to 2am located at the Hermosa Beach Pier Plaza.
