Hinano Cafe Reviews

This place is right near the beach. Relaxed vibe inside, good pitcher of beers available and the burgers are really tasty. Worth popping in.

Had a double cheese burger with grilled onions, simply outstanding. It is a bar so over 21 only, but got it to go and ate at the beach tables a block away, just a delicious grilled burger after a day at the beach, you can't go wrong!

Hinano is a favorite. Great burgers in a burger town for sure but even better people watching. Dont just peek in the door and move on. Sure its busy but that is the whole reason for coming inside. We love coning here. The food is consistently right on and seriously you are a block from the beach. The bartenders are awesome too. Such a great laid back vibe here that it feels like home. By the way, all the burgers come with a bag of chips. Just take what you get, dont be a creep and ask to switch. total tourist move.

Best burger in Venice beach, beer is cold , and sports in tv , billiard tables , saw dust on the floor. Must visit on every trip in venice :)

This is real Venice Beach. Crazy people, hipsters, muscleheads, R&B, live music... was a pretty cool vibe but too weird for me.

Best burgers (get the chilli add on!), ice cold beer, jalapeños and pool all in a classic American bar. So good.

Wow burger. Super good, a bit expensive for tap beer but overall definitely a must try in Venice - great food.

Seriously the best burgers in LA. The bar is small and dark - best described as a dive but we visit every time we are the US for the very cold beers/cider and the cheeseburgers. The live music has been great every time we've been. Venice Beach is worth a visit on the weekends and when you do - make time for a burger at the Hinano Cafe.

Popped in for a quick beer and had a very nice quick meal too. Bar staff were super friendly and lovely. Really nice local beer.

Came here to try the burgers as recommended by a friend. We were not disappointed the burgers were sensational. Its more like a bar than a burger joint and we were lucky enough to visit on a Sunday and there were two fantastic bands playing as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our beers, burgers and music.

All I can say is there must not be many good burger joints in and around Venice Beach if these are the best in town. It was OK for a Dive Bar Burger but if you are going there for a gourmet burger you may wind up a tad disappointed to say the least. Great Dive Bar nonetheless and for late night drunchies this burger will do the trick.

Didn't try the burgers unfortunately but for drinks it's great too. Oldschool bar with a nice rock & roll kind of vibe. Very busy always with locals - the young (minded) hip, rock & roll people of Venice.

What can I say. Great local bar ticks all the boxes. Overall good service except when a local is next to you, they always get the nod. Good live bands and juke box. Spit and sawdust? It actually has sawdust!

Noisy, packed, cheap...great music and live music on Saturday. Good service from extremely busy staff - and burgers to die for. A good fun place to visit.

A true local spot to enjoy great Burgers, Cold beers and Pool and sports on Big screens. friendly staff and a great location. highly recomend a visit.

Visiting my old haunts in Venice we decided to pop in to Hinanos as we've been before and it's usually buzzing. This time, 2 nights in a row, a fantastic blues band were on. It's spit and sawdust, up close and personal, great beer and the best burgers you can get for just $6. Service is friendly and fast and I love it. There's also 3 pool tables to play on. If your near Venice beach it's an absolute must.

Bring cash - it's cash only. There is an ATM in the bar that will cost you. The burgers are good. Service not so hot.

8.50 cheese burgers with all the trims and a bag of chips along side with pickles and peppers. 👍👍 The beer is cheap to as long as you don't mind a bit of noise 😆

This place rocks. Always busy. It looks nothing from the outside but the queues for food say everything. This was the best burger I have ever had. Cooked to perfection with great fries.

Went there to right our clocks to LA time (from Ontario) on our first night there. It was a Monday night. The place was PACKED. Pool tables, all with coins lined up for the next play, had to find a spot to squeeze through at the bar. I seriously have no idea how anyone gets anything done in this town. Order a couple of pints and a cheeseburger (as recommended). The beer was fresh and the burger EXCELLENT. It looks and acts like a watering hole, but the burger is a good reason to visit this spot.

We heard the music as we walked down Washington St so we decided to check it out. At first it looked a little sketchy but once inside we had a great time. Everyone was very friendly and the beer is ice cold. The place is known for their music and the blues band was fantastic. The burger is their specialty.

So this is cash only this place. Quick , cheap food in a dive bar full of atmosphere and great music. The burger is sensational and I recommend it to all. Good to people watch, play pool and a stonethrow away from the ocean. Filled with locals. Sensational

Hi, Yesterday I went to the bar 19:00 pm “ happy hour” and I ordered 1 beer and 1 wine, When I had to pay the bill was 12 $, I asked about happy hour and the bartman (very impolite) told me than the beer and wine weren’t incluid. I’m totally disappointed with this place, only I hope that the message change something.

We enjoyed lunch here and shared a double cheeseburger. The sign outside says, "World Famous." It's a darn good burger. The only draw back is this bar doesn't have a deep fryer so no fries or the like on the menu. They offer a variety of chips. A fun stop during our visit. The do not take credit cards so bring cash or use their ATM.

Our cousins rented a place 2 blocks away and we're craving for burgers on the third day. We googled nearby places and Hinano cafe popped up. Walked over or lunch and the bar is bustling with diners. We chose a table inside and proceeded to place our orders at the bar. Food arrives promptly. My hubby had the Bacon Cheeseburger with a Hinano beer. I had the Chilli Cheeseburger. Both burgers were delicious! The chilli is chunky and has a little kick to the sauce. Cravings satisfied....

What a great place. Pool, games, Sports TV ambience, music, great service. If you want a whacky place this is it. It gets rowdy around here after 11pm

MUST VISIT place. Best burgers in town, awesome staff, directly at the beach. Fair prices, too. I haven't had a better burger in my life.

A “back to basics” burger that delivers awesome taste in a casual environment. I’m happy that I went for the double !

Went here to listen to my friend's band play. It was a Friday night about 5:30 p.m. and they were slammed. Small inside and only 1 server was working. Despite the demand, she did a GREAT job trying to keep up. More help came on at 6:00 p.m. They only serve beer and wine and basic food menu. Ordered the cheeseburger and grilled cheese. Food was excellent.. Was surprised at how clean it was inside for a "dive" bar. Old school feel. Need to pay cash as they don't take credit cards. Simple method- order, get your order- pay. Very old school, but great. No problems at all with anyone trying to hit on my beautiful date- as some had commented.

Best (double-)cheesburger ever, very cheap (35.- for 2 dblecheesburger, 1 hotdog and 3 beers), good live music and a bright choice of good beers!!

A nice bar and burger place with a unique atmosphere. I liked the wood chips on the floor. Burgers were awesome. Go for the chill add on.

I had THE perfect hamburger ever. We came to see our friends in LA and we were checking and tasting hamburgers all around and I promise this place make the best hamburger ever! It is super tasty! I have ordered a turkey hamburger which was so yummy! I miss this place so much! The atmosphere was great,too and their pineapple ciders!

When they say worlds best burger they are not exaggerating. Great spot to pull up to the bar, share a pitcher and hanker down on a tasty treat. The burger was perfect, my husband is a bit of a burger snob and this blew him away, only sad thing is we cant travel 5000 miles for another when we get the craving!

Called in for a cool beer and glass of wine, friendly bar staff, interestng guests, fun to watch. We'd already eaten so can't comment on the food, worth a visit if you are in Venice Beach area.

The burgers were great. Fresh and tasty. The bar has a great beachy feel. Seems like a favorite spot for locals.

great pub, great music, great burgers. the women are very scary who work behind the bar. the irish guy is lovely behind the bar. the band on sat 9th nov were rubbish, the band on sunday 10th very good. meant to be a dive bar but full of middle class people, but still a great bar. give it a try.

Stopped here for a couple of beers and a quick feed on my first day in LA, its only half a block back from the beach & possesses some old world charm! Recommended

Best dive on Washington, I like to show the tourists where Jim Morrison carved his name in bar.

first let me say, we went in because there was a live band, the band was OK but not great, I guess after a few drinks they may sound good to some. Definitely not my kind of place, it's a raunchy, beer drinking joint. The wine selection was extremely poor, so I didn't order anything, We left after my friends were done with their one beer. I would be afraid to use their restrooms. Oh yes, but they do have pool tables.

This place doesn't try to be anything else than it is and that's a pub/drinking hole with pool tables and great burgers. A good mix of people and never saw any trouble. Don't walk past even if you only have one drink, this is real Venice.

Cool spot had drinks and listened to band. Was a bit prices but vibe always good so it made you want to be there. Very busy place

No exaggeration on them having the best burgers in town. I love a good burger, so as always a bit sceptical when bars/restaurants make such claims, but I was blown away. Truly delicious. A great place to go drink a pitcher of beer, eat good food and listen to some great tunes while playing pool. Only problem is I live five thousand miles away and can't just pop back in next ime Im feeling a craving for the worlds best burger!!

I stopped to check out this dive bar on a Thursday night and it was busy. I didn't drink but ordered their so called World Famous Cheese burger for $7.50 which comes with a bag of potato chips. I'm giving the burger two stars because it was worth $3.50 and not that great, I've had way better. The bar scene is old school surf scene and gets my highest approval.

I always drop by this place for a Chili Burger and a few cold beers when I'm in the area! Buena onda:)

When you visit Venice Beach, check this cafe out on the beach for Breakfast, Burgers, and Booze on the beach! Eggs and sandwiches are served for breakfast. A diverse selection of burgers, including veggie burgers and chili are offered. Soda, wine, beer, and cider are available. Trip Advisor lists this as LA, but, it is on the beach in Venice.

This place is no nonsense fun. They have bands on Friday, Saturday and Sunday usually from about 4pm to 8pm when everyone is coming off of the beach. I have never heard a bad band yet. They are usually just old school fun music! The drinks are basic, either beer or wine. They serve great basic bar hamburgers and chips. No fries but the food is really fresh and good. It gets packed on the weekends. If you are young, you can't find a better place to mingle and meet other people having fun. There are no waitresses or waiters or reserved seating. This is a basic order at the bar and find a place to have fun! Also, there are pool tables. If you are looking for fun and not afraid to rub elbows with someone then give it a try. By the way, my wife and I are 60 years old so we have some perspective! Don't be shy! Basically........it is a fun place for fun people!

Awesome authentic American burger served in the most American Bar in Venice. This place is awesome and great value. Sit at the bar, order your burger, enjoy your pint, watch the live sport and enjoy the great music.

Great location, essentially right on Venice beach. This end of Washington Blvd has a great selection of bars and restaurants. Good mix of obvious tourists and obvious locals, but everyone was very relaxed and having a good time. Fun local decor. Large selection of beers both on tap and bottled, and huge good burgers. I would definitely return.

Venice has changed so much since I first visited, this place seems to be a great link with the past. The beer selection is good an the service is prompt, the bar staff seem to enjoy themselves as much as the customers. When I was there in April there was live music every time I visited, and the place was pretty crowded. I didn't try the burgers, but they looked good. A local told me they taste so good because the griddle is never cleaned - I suspect this was a joke! The only downside for me is the strict over 21 policy, this means that my 17 year old daughter will not be able to hear the great music when we return in October.

Dive bar which is a lot of fun. Stop here whenever staying over from LAX. Good range of beer, cheeseburgers hit the spot. Lots of screens and music some nights. Look forward to visiting again. Note this is cash only. And they do not do cocktails. But It is the best Beer and Burger bar

An amazing place where we were super well received. Small piece of paradise and burger on top Thanks to Rémy Reverchon for his good advice 🥰

We went here as it is reputed to have been a favourite place of Jim Morrison's. if it was then I can see why! proper bar, with no pretentious rubbish. We had excellent sandwiches & beers for breakfast here on our first day in LA & went back for beer one evening. close to Venice pier & beach and short walk from the Venice Canals.

The world needs places like Hinano's. You can get a beer at 10AM, it's cash only, it has pool tables, is VERY unpretencious with mostly a local crowd and you can get any side you want with your grilled cheese, burger or hot dog as long as it's potato chips. If you like you beer, like to watch an eclectic group of folks in their native habitat, it is a destination that one should experience at least once. They also have frequent live music which stirs the pot.

This is a great bar for a few casual beers and the best burgers. A good mixed crowd and friendly staff. The prices are good value for the Venice.

This is an absolute must do when you are in Venice or the La area. If you need a place to grab a great burger and a cold beer then Hinano is your place. If you get a bit tired of the pretentious LA scene then head to Hinano Cafe for a dose of instant reality and great times!!!

If you live or surf near Venice then you know Hinanos. This little cash only dive bar is the go to place for good food and a relaxed atmosphere. Saturday nights get pretty busy and there is a live band playing. Watching sports here on Sundays is awesome because the TV's are big and you can always find a seat. During the week you will almost always spot the same locals on their usual stool and I love that small town feel in the city. And there is nothing like walking to the Venice pier in the morning and getting a Hinanos breakfast and mimosas. The burgers are amazing, the people are not pretentious and I can say that this is my favorite dive bar in LA.

First let me say they serve the best hamburgers in town. Discovered Hinano Cafe early 70s. There was a hamburger joint on every corner - Hamburger Square. Lived a few blocks away. Was a regular for many years. Remember China Syndrome being filmed there, plus many other memories. Now live in Brentwood (no boos please), but return to Hinano Cafe a few times a year for that burger and beer. Thanks old friend.

We had an overnight stopover on the way back to Boston and decided to walk Venice. Stumbled across this place, with an incredible punk rock band playing, and stepped in. What an incredible place, with great drinks and food and a fun-loving crowd. I recommend stopping by around sunset for some fun!

Stopped in for an early lunch after a long walk on the beach. Sat at the bar and had a couple of pitchers of Bud and sides of michelada mix. Great! The beer was ice cold in a frozen pitcher and the mix was superb. The cheese burger and tuna melt were both really good. Good prices on the food. Really a local place, but we didn’t feel unwelcome. I would rate the service as adequate. On the down side, the music is a little loud and fries would add a lot. Small complaints. Would have given a 4.5 rating if possible.

Laid back Venice, baby! The best burgers - no fries - chips! Great peeps behind the bar and next to you! No Dislikes!!!!!

Verdict: Yes, I can't wait to have another burger. Pros: great burgers, good music, pool tables, friendly patrons, fun atmosphere. Cons: pokey toilet, it's hard to leave. Stumbled on this place while walking down Washington towards Venice Beach. Had a cheeseburger with all the extras and was blown away. Maybe it's because I've not had chilli and a "hotlink" on a burger before but I want it again. Wasn't intending to stay long but the convivial atmosphere, flowing beers and pool tables ensured I drank through my jet lag. I will be back.

One cultural/drinking difference I noticed from the UK on my recent California trip was the difficulty in just walking into an establishment and getting a beer without having to bypass an overly-enthusiastic lady at the door who wanted to thrust menus in my face, ask me how I was doing and direct me to a seat. Sometimes (ie most of the time) you just need a beer and no hassle. Hinano was the closest I came to an English pub during my time in Vegas, San Diego, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and LA. On that basis I recommend unreservedly. To call this place a 'dive' might be me misunderstanding the vernacular but, for me, Hinano is an absolute palace.

Have the burger. Nothing fancy at all. But just perfect. I like the dive atmosphere and the proximity to the beach. This is an old-fashioned joint; just the way it should be.

So I was told this place was known for their burgers and even the bouncer said its been rated top 25 in the world. Sounds impressive, keep in mind this is a dive bar. Seating is at the bar or high tops in the back. Prices were really good, I ordered the burger and they didn't ask how I wanted it cooked. The burger came out well done but it was good. I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had but it was good. It was served with a pickle, peppers and a bag of chips. The music was excellent! They were playing the Doors and other greats.. This is definitely somewhere I would go again

A real American Bar / Fast food. The staff is really friendly and the burgers are so good! I recomand 100%

Beer, double turkey burger, and bag of Doritos...nothing wrong with that! Felt badly for anyone watching me eat (very messy, probably went through 50 napkins) because I needed a bib. Great atmosphere!!!

Right at the Venice Beach Pier is Hinano a bar and burger joint. Pool tables and locals flair. Carlos and Melissa are my favorite bartenders in socal. Great Burgers and breakfast burrito s. The juke box is great. This bar hasn't changes in 50 years. Not a hipster joint.

We accidentally walk into this cafe. Amd it was not dissapointing. They had big portion of food and delicious, instresting ambience

For the 18 months that I've lived in Marina del Rey I've passed this restaurant many times. Why didn't I enter? Who knows. Finally I did and found a truly fun local place. Terrific burgers, ice cold beer. Pool tables. What more could you want in a fun local establishment? Here's what - bartenders that care, and that's what you'll find at Hinano. Go in. Relax. You'll be back.

My girl and I rode out bicycles from Redondo to Venice Beach and we love to reward a bit of good exercise with some delicious nibs. This was perfect. A gem amongst the busy Washington Blvd scene. It's a circus down there, and this bar have us refuge from it all. Great burgers, beers and cheap games of pool. Also free popcorn if you're extra nibbish! The bar service was great and friendly. Will definitely return :)

Hinano reminds one of a college bar. Loud, crowded with sawdust on the floors. Pool tables busy with action and one perfect food offering. The hamburger is great. Nothing fancy, just juicy and delicious...comes with Cheetos. Good beer selection too. Nothing pretentious about Hinano, you come here for the burger not the ambiance.

We discovered this cool little 'dive bar' at Venice Beach on our first trip to LA in the '70's. We drop by every time we're back in town and are always delighted to find it basically unchanged. At some point they did take down the grass roof that used to hang over the bar but I'm pretty sure it's the same sawdust on the floor. Although we stopped eating meat years ago, we see other customers enjoying the famous burgers and are assured that they're still the best anywhere. This visit we sat at our usual spot at the bar and enjoyed 2 Stella pints (a pitcher would have been cheaper). The server was very friendly and offered to take our picture when she saw our camera. This is a great place to wander in from the beach (1/2 block away) and have a beer while watching sports on one of the many big TV's. There's also live entertainment in the evenings. For a funky LA experience we highly recommend a visit to Hinano.

A dive bar in Venice. They have a good assortment of beers and typical bar decor. They serve bar food, have a live band, and you can even make your own dance floor! The place is really small, but service is great.

Been going to Hinano Cafe since the early 70s. Was part of what we called Hamburger Square. The stories I could tell you.... Great burgers and definitely the real deal.

Read a review of burger places in the LA area so was anxious to try this one. We were staying in Venice Beach so it was within walking distance. It did not disappoint, the burger was great! It is a dive bar and you must be 21 to enter. We were there for lunch & it seemed like a place that the locals like to hang out in. I would highly recommend it.

Recommended by a local, this place is very cool. Burgers are the best we eat in LA. And a lot cheaper. Beer is cold and frosty. And service is busy but attentive to the spot. This place is awesome. Wish we could hang out longer here.

A great neighborhood Venice dive-bar, awesome hamburgers

Hinanooooo was such a great place in Venice beach....great food great people just of the beach , great vibe over all

Found this place on our last day and glad we did. We picked up a few breakfast burritos for $6.50 each. The quality was good, great serving size and comes with fresh home made salsa and pickled peppers on the side. Zero complaints, friendly service and great prices. The beer prices looked good the location was perfect.

Don't expect leather seats and clean floors in this place! There's sawdust on the floor to soak up the booze and beer spilled by drunken, fun loving regulars who frequent this place. The drinks are cheap and the burgers are AMAZING! There are plenty of big screen TVs with sports on so sports fans can tune out anyone who may be boring them. Plus, there's a pool table and a classic video game for those who are really bored! This is a really popular place and gets crowded as people search for great food to soak up the alcohol consumed throughout the night. Go and enjoy!!

Best cheap hamburger in LA. Beer is cold and arrives promptly; particularly after any one of the excellent bar keeps sees you more than once. I have been an on and off regular since I lived in MDR in the late '70s. Hinano's was a little rough in those days but time has mellowed the crowd (Jim Morrison, Doors lead singer and well practiced alcoholic hung our there enough to carve his initials)...but that's probably a good thing. Bring cash- no cards and the ATM is a bandit.

When you smell Sublime's junked out roadie at the neighboring stool you might doubt the burgers. Bad move.

Good burgers. Nothing too special.

a total dive. fantastic.

Straight up spot, loud and fun even in the morning. I went more than once for a breakfast burrito on the go when staying locally and they were delicious. I'd definitely drop back in for the same, at least! :)

The burgers are huge and cooked to order. Very tasty! At least as good as Five Guys, if not better. This is a "must-do" restaurant if you're in Venice Beach and like to travel "native style". Just a bunch of locals that populate this bar, but they're friendly and welcoming. Just come in, have a seat, and order a beer and a burger. You won't be disappointed!

Rough around the edges and perfect for it. Enjoyed a few Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPAs and, of course, the burger. Great weekend bands that ROCK it out and several TVs to watch your game. A local's absolute favorite. This is real Venice.

This place is located right on Washington avenue in venice. Because of that, it's 2 totally different places depending on if you go during the day or night. During the day time it's a place to eat. At night time it's a place to party. We went this time at night with a group of friends. They had cheap pitchers of beer, great music and plenty of billiard tables. The atmosphere in here was great, as are most places in venice at night. The place is loud with the sounds of music and people being loud, so just know that ahead of time and you're good.

Very cool place Very real American fast food Best Burger I had in Los Angles The staff very freindly Higly recommend

If you are looking for local flavor with good burgers and beer, this is the place. Located just off Venice Beach, Hinano’s has great classic burgers and a nice beer list for any diner. Friendly, fast service and a local crowd that any visitor will enjoy. Great for an easy, good lunch while touring the beach!

This is a bit of old Venice, however the burgers are the main attraction IMHO. A boho crowd but a fun place.

Read some reviews that this was the best burger place in town - it definitely is. May look a bit run down inside and noisy. It is a bar for drinking. We sat on the patio outside. Burger was large and delicious

Situated just before the start of Venice Beach, we went here a few times for the beer and sports on TV. Good burgers too with choice of Swiss or Chedder cheese on top and a side choice of beers. Real sawdust on the floor!

We use to go here years ago, the place hasn't changed except there are more beers to choose from and the wine is better! Burgers are still the best in LA! Love the place, a great local hang out!

Great place close to the beach. Vibrant, lively dive bar with burgers starting from $5.50 and many types of beer. Burger comes with nice variety of pickles & a bag of chips.

A great combination of locals and tourists in this little "established" cafe in Venice Beach. Located right on Washington at the beach, you can't beat the prices for drinks and food! A local band was playing the night we were there, not one member less than 60 years old, but with an energy that most garage bands couldn't keep up with. Great place for a stop during the day or beers at night.

Went with friends on a late Saturday afternoon and before long, a sweet blues band was cranking up in the back. Burgers are excellent, bartenders work fast and efficiently. This is the definition of a classic beach dive bar with a diverse, friendly clientele. They don’t make ‘em like this any more. This is the real deal.

best burger ever! the atmosphere is very divy?

Best burgers ever, especially when ur drinking.

Hinano's has been at the end of Washington Blvd. for decades. It is the last of the fun bars in the area us older locals call The Square. If someone tells you it is the Strand, they are new to the area. Hinano's is a bar, and yes it gets loud, really loud. There is a bouncer at the front to check ID. Once in there are tables and the bar. There is a pool table and on some nights they have local bands play. Sometimes they are good, sometimes you need another drink to make them sound good. Hinano's has great burgers and pub food. You will love it. It is fresh and tasty. I have been with friends recently and it is great, but what I really love about Hinano's is how sweet everyone that works there is. I walk with my grandson at night there and there is a lot to see. There are dogs, people eating outside at other places, a few shops and the Venice Pier. My Grandson, loves when we get near Hinano's. The bouncer also says to my sweet little boy, "Got ID" and they laugh. He taught him how to do his first fist bump, he was maybe 18 months old at the time. He is now 9 and knows Hinano's even though he has never stepped foot in the place. Now and again, one of the chefs, there is a window right at the front sees him and hands him chips or candy or something. They all know my grandson is special needs and they are his friends. They take the time to say hello as the line forms to get in. So, go there. The food is great, the drinks are strong, the staff is the best and say hi to the Bouncer--there are a few. This is The Square.

The best hamburger there is in Los Angeles .....the coldest beer with great service .just love the place .yes they serve only beer and wine but is great bar for friends and couple .This is a dive bar, an awesome dive bar, with delicious juicy burgers and frosty mugs of beer. Two pool tables, a juke box, live music and the lovely smell of sawdust on the floor. As I stated before, this is a bar. You don't like it? Go to the "Other Room" or the "Brig". Your kind ain't wanted here anyway. Free popcorn. Sawdust on the floor......CASH ONLY . ENJOY

I always visit this place to satisfy my lust for burger when am in town. Friendly, easy going atmoshpere, cool people, always sports playing, great landscape to enjoy a quick meal and head your way .

How could we have passed this so many times and completely missed out? Thanks to TripAdvisor, we were looking for a good burger in MDR and found it. Burger is big and tasty, fresh cooked at the end of the bar. Who wants the fries, anyway? Perfect with a draft beer. Prices are good, crowd is lively, music loud and good. Place was full on a Saturday at lunch; we had to wait for stools to open at the bar. Only a few tables, don't expect to go in with a crowd and sit together - a few of you will be standing. Yep, sawdust on the floor. Pool tables in the back. You can get pitchers of beer. Good prices. No server other than the bartender. Cash only. We'll go back. And I'll try the chili burger.

My husband loves burgers. We came to Cali with a burger journey in mind. We typed up Los Angeles Burger Hunt in google and Hinano came up as one of the 50 or so local places, not chain joints. We got ID'd and walked in to a very narrow looking pub with sawdust floors. It was around noon and the place was packed. Great atmosphere. But ordering was a little different then we're used to. We had to go up to the bartender and order and she calls our name and we pick it up. But there was no place to really order/pick up except inches in between other ppl sitting at the bar. Wow the burgers were excellent! Our favorite non-chain burger on our trip, and we went to about 8 burger joints, which is a lot considering our trip was 10 days long!

I want to get back to Venice Beach just to eat and drink again at Hinano. We went for an after beach beer and returned for dinner after reading about the burgers and seeing the environment. Don't expect a fancy place but be amazed with the food.

Have stayed in Venice twice in the last year and this is my go to place. No frills but if you want good beer, sports tv and probably one of the best burgers in LA this place ticks all the boxes. A bit rough around the edges but I love it.

Stopped in after a walk on the beach. This is definitely a locals bar that was absolutely slammed when we were there, but we were welcomed and didn't feel out of place. Fantastic beer selection, very friendly service, good music, and the best burgers around. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area.

only for a burger after 3 beers

This is a good place, only downside is that it's cash only. Good cheap burgers and brews. Random old cover bands. Chill place.

Had a very enjoyable evening here. The crowd was lively and friendly and definitely in a party mood, which was greatly helped by music from a solid rock band.

From Italy to Venice beach only to eat this burger. Really nice place, nice music and especially an amazing burger. Really loved it.

I’d consider this a typical man bar. During the weekdays you’ll normally find just men sitting up on bar stools or playing snooker. On the weekends, or later in the eve, you’ll find an even split of male and females. Don’t go (especially on the weekends) if you are into comfortable seating, cocktails and maintaining your personal space.

Tried this place for a late night eating and drinking stop that was recommended by rental owner. It was noisy and lots of people but everyone started introducing themselves and playing pool and drinking and the next thing we knew, the place was closing. We had lots of fun with the other pool players, The drinks were reasonable and the Grilled Cheese sandwich was OK. (The other customers said I was too picky.) They have free popcorn too. Great for a fun date or when you want to be around people

Hinano's has some of the best burgers, you will love them all. Now they can call this a café all they want, but this is a bar and you need to be 21 to get in. Once in there is a long bar, some tables and in the back are pool tables and sometimes a local band will play. The place is super fun and the staff is so great. They know about the area, they know their menu. The locals love the place. They have a bouncer outside, but don't let him scare you, he is a puppy--kind and sweet. Right down the street is the Venice Pier and the beach. Next to Hinano's is a long strip of shops, other eateries and a pizza place. Any of their burgers are great. They are made fresh and you will be a happy camper. They only take cash, so have some. Their prices are very reasonable.

Dropped in on our last night. Fun bar with live music. Lots of beers. And ace hamburgers. Cash only and kinda has a dive feel but that's part of the appeal. Really great food at a great price. Good place for casual drinks and to watch sports

best bar burger ever! (stress on BAR)
