simmzys is about 3 miles from the house so i’ve been there a few times ; ) a beautiful location (with some partial ocean views from the patio) on manhattan beach blvd right next to highland. pretty interior but small indoor/outdoor area. it gets crowded quickly. a small bar near the entrance which is parked directly in front of 25 taps which are rotational. on last visit, they had a nice line-up of: old viscosity, stone 13th, hophead red, old rasputin, chimay, among others. menu is sparce with some odd offerings but the burger is good. service was decent. beer is a bit more expensive here due to it’s manhattan beach location. pints of higher octane rating ales can be as steep as $9.00 a pint. always nice to see a more beercentric plave open up, though.

Great place to grab a beer if you’re in the South Bay area and want a change of pace from Naja’s. Located in the heart of downtown MB, right east of the pier. Food is great - I had the burger ... beers are fairly "standard" micros. Ya know, your Bear Republic, Green Flash, Allagash, North Coast type offerings. Only knock is it’s a little crowded, so be prepared to stand or wait a few for a table.
