Crema's Take

The Hangout is a rare beach restaurant that actually executes well on both food and hospitality, with a killer burger and killer Guinness on draft that keep locals coming back and visitors making it a mandatory stop. The pier views and unhurried service make it feel like the kind of place where you're never rushed, whether you're there for a quick happy hour or settling in for a long Sunday with friends and family. Skip the chains and head here if you want genuinely good food in a proper beach setting where the staff actually cares.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Just love this restaurant. Whenever we visit family in Seal Beach, we make sure to have a meal at the Hangout. Service is great and good is even better! You can't top Guinness on draft! Perfect end to the meal is a walk along the Seal Beach Pier.
