Open 10 am – 12 am (1 am Saturdays). Call for reservations!
El Segundo Beach
Get away from it all before your business trip even ends. Just a short walk from El Segundo’s hotels and restaurants, you can put those feet in the sand at the end of hard day… although the view might just inspire you to stay!
