I haven't been here in a while but the food, drink and hospitality is still fantastic. Being a special day (St Patrick's) of course I ordered the corned beef and cabbage. It was very good, however, the cabbage was undercooked and very difficult to cut with a sharp knife. I mentioned it to the waitress but nothing was done. It was still a worthwhile meal among a vibrant celebratory crowd.

Being the holiday I ordered corn beef and cabbage and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great.
The crowd was loud but not obnoxious. The patrons sitting next to me wanted to chat about the NCAA college finals and we had a lively debate about who would win. It was fun and I'll definitely return. - 1791006299Feb 19, 2024
We came here for dinner and the food was really a disappointment :( I think that maybe this place is a great bar but maybe not the best for food...
I ordered the smoked BBQ brisket sandwich -- it's highlighted as one of the favorites on the menu. The brisket was really burnt and tough... My partner got one of the burgers and upon his first bite, he noticed that the patty was completely charred. I got chips with my brisket sandwich and I don't think the chips were seasoned at all -- no salt, nothing...
That said, I do appreciate that you can order a smaller or larger size for their beers. My guess is that this spot makes a great place for drinks, but maybe not so much for food...Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 25, 2023Updated review
I have been critical of Hennessey's in the past; however, lately they have turned it around.
Good place for two for one Tuesday. Lively ambiance, good seating outside and inside. The burger of the month is always a good choice with your favorite beverage. Give it a try.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Oct 22, 2019Previous reviewWent on a Tuesday evening for dinner (party of 5). In a nutshell, the burgers were unanimously some of the worst we've had. Service was slow but they were busy so that's the way it goes. Paul, you've got to get this Redondo group on the ball.
Jun 29, 2015Previous reviewAgainst our better judgement our group went to Hennesey's Redondo location as we were wanting a burger. Good news, the previous manager is now at the Hermosa location. We were disappointed because we wanted to give him some crap. Oh well, if you go to the Hermosa location look for a 6'6" dude with a big attitude.
Jun 6, 2014Previous reviewWe are long time Hennessy patrons and have not really had a complaint until our last visit. Our complaint is about the manager, not the food or the service and this complaint cancels the rest of the good things. We have a group that meets for lunch at Hennessey's in Redondo every Tuesday on "2 for one Tuesdays" which is a pretty good deal. We have been ordering sides of jalapeño peppers to add to our hamburgers for at least the past 4 years at not charge. Well today the bill came and we noticed it was higher than usual so we reviewed it and found we were charged $2.50 for two measly (emphasis on measly) little containers of chopped jalapeños. We asked the waitress what's up and she apologized and said the manager made her charge us and she was sorry. Another waitress said she got yelled at by the manager for not charging so now they are all under scrutiny to charge for this measly little bit of jalapeños. So we nicely asked the manager why this sudden change of policy and he said "...You got a deal in the past, no more free jalapeños..." His mannerism was unprofessional as well as hostile. As a result he has lost 10 regular Tuesday customers. Paul and Jennifer Hennessey would not be pleased to hear of their managers attitude and manner of expressing his views to long time patrons. It's not the minor charge, it is the attitude he gave us and his total disregard for his patrons.

The bartender named Christian is so rude ! Not only did I witness him being rude to patrons but I heard from other people that he has had beef with multiple people including previous staff. I won't support a company that keeps a manager like him. We'll never go back again.

Disappointed that we were paying customers and the waitress who had gotten off work decided to override our comfort as customers. We had asked for a certain request and she came once and not only twice to close the door after letting the host know hey we would like this open because we were cold and helping that wind that was bothering us. We continued to move inside and that when we noticed her drinking with her friends/co workers. Again we have all been there and don't mind the after drinking with coworkers but don't go out of your way to inconvenient the guests it's always been a rule as an employee. Overall the server we did have was great but didn't want to bother her over the situation being we saw it was another coworker of hers.

The Hennessy's on the pier has better views but.... This one is closer to my house.
The food has improved since I first ate here a year ago. New chef ? But let's jump into the details
1- seating
A- The "street" seating is a bit confusing since there's overlap with their neighboring restaurant. Pay attention to where you sit
B- Outdoor seating : great for lunch. But be aware, around shift change (2 -3) the sun changes position and these seats are all in the sun. Yes, it gets hot. ((Note: yes, I have stayed that long having a few pints ))
2- beer
Same great selection BUT the Guinness pour isn't quite up to the artistic level of the pier. There's no cloverleaf in the head. Molly is a lovely person but not an expert Guinness dispenser
3- food
The same food as the pier. I started eating their burgers here and I've got to say they are really good!
5- the loo
It's small. It's really small. It's full of "character "
6- parking
A big lot behind the street. Nice that you can pay via app (and reload the time via app should you need it )Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 22, 2021Previous reviewThis is not a place for "fine dining". It's a typical old school pub. Dark interior. Sports on the tele. Greasy burgers. Guinness on tap. If that's what you're looking for, this is great. The hermosa location is on the pier and has better views. Riviera village has better choices for food... but Hennessy has been in this location forever. I Stop by occasionally for a pint.

My BFF and I ate burgers and fries at Hennessey's this past weekend and had a great experience! We devoured our food. My only complaint...I wanted more. My friend said he was glad they didn't give us too many fries cause they were so tasty and we'd already overeaten. I had the regular pub fries. He upgraded to the parsmesan fries. (Burgers come with a side of fries.)
Our server, I think her name was Amy, was so friggin nice. She took our drink order as she seated us! How great is that?! And she offered up ranch dressing for our fries, which I love. I've never had a server just ask me if I wanted a side of ranch; I always have to ask.
They had a band that night and, although, I didn't stay that night to listen, I've been there for bands before. It's a good time!
They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's really great sitting outside on a beautiful summer day or evening.
Not gonna lie... the bathrooms are less than desirable and need complete upgrading. But, It was decent enough to use.Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 2Oh no 2 - Sep 5, 2023
Came here lunch. Place was dimly lit, smelled like a bar, and looked like a bar, lol. The server took a while to bring me a menu. Mind you, it was empty as hell. Ordered the burger of the month, which was good, but not great. Also, they were stingy w the fries. It was about $28 w tip for a burger w fries and a soda...not worth it.
