Corona Beach Bar

Fear the Nachos.
The description: «Crispy corn tortillas covered with seasoned chicken melted authentic Mexican cheeses and sour cream. Served with a fire roasted tomato salsa.»
The reality: Tortilla chips with diced boiled chicken breast, drowned in canned liquid nacho cheese, with dollops of (canned) guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo on the side.
The only reason they got 2 stars instead of one is they have a decent IPA on tap.

Kind of an original place for an airport trying to give it a beach vibe. Fair selection of beer and the service was good. Probably wouldn’t mind stopping back in here if my gate is near, otherwise I would not go out of my way.

Best scratch bloody Mary I’ve had in a LONG time! Really, really good. The table service sucked though. The waitress had blinders on and never came by our table. I had to order at the bar. No big deal, but if you’re gonna have a waitress…
The guacamole was fresh and very good. The chips were bagged, but it’s an airport, so they get a pass.

Great service from Desiree. Ordered the breakfast burrito and I really enjoyed it. It was full of eggs, it had real shredded cheese and to s if delicious bacon. The tortilla was toasted in the outside which just added to the yumminess.

Uhmmmm Not much of a beach Bar, being n a airport of LAX and when u gotta rock a jacket.

My visit here was as expected. The staff seemed young but friendly and very capable of making a tasty cocktail. My bartender/​server checked on my consistently without hovering which I appreciated.
I’m not sure why a previous reviewer says they don’t serve food, they certainly do. I wasn’t very hungry so I just had a bagel with cream cheese, but my bagel was perfectly toasted and my screwdriver was very good. I tend to drink top shelf liquor so it wasn’t super cheap, but very reasonable when taking into account Airport prices.
I was perfectly happy with my short visit here to kill time from my layover and should I take little cloud-​hopper planes again through LAX I’m sure I’ll stop by again.

Food in the airport… is well food in the airport.
The servers were more interested in chatting with each other rather than serving customers.

Stark and cold, this Beach Bar is anything but. The up side is its not Route 66 a few gates down.
Located across from United’s gate 86, it’s the last stop in the 80’s for an adult beverage to kill the layover. No food, just beer and booze and I’m ok with that. The white counter and Branif styled wall coverings are not exactly beachy but there are tables with beach umbrellas. So there ya go.
Mostly crap beer but what can you expect from a Corona Bar? The tabs were broken so my choice was Carona, C-​Extra, Coors Original, Modelo and some other yellow beer I chose not to remember. No Modeo. The only flavor that sounds acceptable was Sam Adams on tap… that’s not working.
It’s sub par beer chose would keep me away but when I need a bloody Mary or vodka soda, this overpriced airport bar tis not busy and beats the other options.
