I have always enjoyed everything that the Bull Pen has to offer, tonight was my 37th birthday dinner. Again The Bull Pen was exceptional, from start to finish. The service, atmosphere and food were perfect as always. Thank you.
I make sure to let everyone I know about The Bull Pen and that they need to stop in for a drink and dinner.
Again Thank you.

Very classic from the Golden years (think rat pack), from the menu to the great leather and buttons seats, to us clientele.
Food isn’t inspired, but it’s solid fare, The Standards, if you will.
One thing that impacted our experience. They need to be clear with tables when seated when the next reservation is. We were brusquely basically manhandled out at the end of 90 minutes, making a special evening less special. Suggestion: ” we are so glad you’re here, and hope you have a wonderful time. We have another reservation coming in at 8:00 p.m., so you have 90 minutes to have a delightful experience. Please let us know if there’s any way that we can help you make it even more wonderful”. For any variation of it. Not simply throwing the check down on the table, rushing people by with boxes unasked, etc. it’s not hard to get this customer service experience right.

I enjoyed a great meal at a local gem in Redondo Beach! The burger was a highlight—juicy, perfectly cooked, and topped with fresh lettuce and a soft bun, paired with a generous serving of crispy, golden fries. The side of ketchup added the perfect touch, and the atmosphere was lively with a nice selection of wines and drinks on the table. The service was friendly, making it a solid spot for a casual dinner by the beach. Highly recommend for burger lovers!

The only con was that the doorman was really rude to us. Since we are visitors here, we don’t have a United States ID, and he told us he wouldn’t let us in. We were very surprised, as we hadn’t experienced anything like that anywhere else. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and helped us get seated. Other than that, we really enjoyed the food and the service!

We went to The Bull Pen for the first time tonight and it was a great experience. The hostess, Cissy, was so welcoming and helpful, she was able to find us a table when we walked in without a reservation, it was amazing. The steaks and sea bass were both excellent, and I also appreciated that each booth had a light over it so it wasn’t too dark. Thanks for a great night!

This is an old school restaurant of the kind that used to be called a “supper club”. Meat and potatoes with large, tasty sides served at big booths in a dark but friendly ambiance. The only thing missing is the salad bar. However, they do have great salads and mushrooms. There are multiple steak options, cooked exactly as ordered at reasonable prices. I have had better steaks here than when I’ve paid much more at trendier places.

A wonderful bar and steak restaurant!
Have a great burger or splurge for a fantastic steak. Their steaks tend to be on the rarer side, so if you like medium rare you should order it medium.
Excellent cocktails and a simple wine menu. Soups and salads are delicious, as are the onion rings and potatoes.
Easy free parking. Telephone for a reservation, as it is almost always very busy. Enjoy!

Had not been to dine here in a while. Frankly, it was rather disappointing. For the prices, I expect exceptional food, but it was not the case. My husband’s steak and potatoes were OK. The burger was very disappointing. Difficult to get a good bite when it is stacked too high like that. The chicken and vegetable soup was more like a zucchini soup with a bit of chicken and very flavorless broth. To end on a good note, the service was great and the sautéed mushrooms were excellent.

As good as it gets! One of my favorite places to frequent when I’m in the South Bay. Craft cocktails that are poured right, the salad‘s insides are to die for, and my favorite is the fillet medallions in the mushroom gravy sauce boat. if you like eclectic throwbacks in time, you must try The Bull Pen.

This is a very “old school” local strip mall steak house. I’d venture to say that most of the patrons are regulars. Start with classic martini, and a 5 piece Shrimp cocktail. The steaks are good, albeit pricy for the cut, but flavorful. The chicken/pasta and beef tournedos were possibly better options. The wine list is limited but the 1000 ml Austin Hope is the go-to move. They have entertainment most Thursday-Saturday nights!
