Hinano Cafe

Sawdust bar

Review Rating
Even though this place is called a cafe, it's a dive bar. There's sawdust on the floor, the beer is cheap, they've got pool tables, and it's on Washington within walking distance of the beach. They have tasty burgers but no fries (it comes with a bag of potato chips). This place is recommended.

Business Description from the Web

Considering its dingy decor and a clientele that can look a little rough at first blush, most people are shocked when they take their first bite of an Hinano burger. It is, simply, one of the better burgers in town--unfussy and classic. Coupled with a bag of chips and beer that is unusually cold, Hinano's is one of the best stops you can make when you’re checking out the bar scene on the west... more

Hinano Cafe may not be the chicest place on the beach, but for Venetians just looking for cold brew and a good game of pool, its one of the more desirable. Sawdust on the floor, addictive burgers, and a beer-and-wine only menu add to the bars ambiance.

Hinano also offers mighty tasty burgers.

In the summer when parking is at a premium, look for a spot in the big lot where Washington dead ends. For $5, it's worth it.

The Scene Hinano Cafe fills the Venice dive bar void left by the revamped Brig. Wade through scattered sawdust to get to the jukebox, which spins everything from Social Distortion to Garth Brooks.

I moved away from Venice to Claremont last summer and I miss a few key things about living inland: NUMBER ONE is the beach, of course, but NUMBER TWO IS THE HINANO BAR! I LOVE this place. Went there regularly for the past 13 years and I gotta say there's nothing like it anywhere else in LA. Great burgers, ICE COLD tap beer in frosty glasses, good prices and FREE POPCORN! They even have a decent... more

Best burgers I've had in a long long time. If parking and traffic were not so difficult, I'd be going here at least 3-4 times a month just to get that absolutely fantastic burger.

Not wanting to lead anybody astray here, I'll at least describe the characteristics of the burger that has me in a mouth watering frenzy. I understand that everyone has different ideas of what is a good burger.

Best greasy, hangover-curing burger in West LA. You'll find me there once or twice a week and it's always an empty stomach that draws me in. Great burger, amazing turkey burger. Plenty of good beer to wash it down. Great people to enjoy it with.

Hinano perfectly fits my definition of a great dive bar. Friendly service from bartenders who remember you. Awesome food options (as I have... more
