Our Story
From Humble Beginnings to a Local Favorite.
Lobster & Beer brings the authentic taste of New England to the heart of Los Angeles, serving up the city’s most celebrated lobster rolls in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere.
From Lobster Rolls to Legendary Vibes
The Heart of What We Do.
From our humble beginnings to becoming a cherished neighborhood destination, we’ve stayed true to our commitment: delivering premium seafood at prices that won’t break the bank.
Founded in 2016 in Palms by Michael—an industry vet with a passion for flavor and community—Lobster & Beer quickly grew from a local gem to a seafood staple. With new locations in Santa Monica and Webster, TX, our story continues to evolve, but our love for great food, good vibes, and genuine hospitality remains unchanged.
Our Philosophy
Simple Food. Real People.. Big Energy...
Every roll, every plate, and every pour celebrates the perfect marriage of coastal flavors and SoCal spirit, making us LA’s go-to spot for seafood lovers of all budgets. We don’t believe seafood should be pretentious. That’s why our fast-casual model keeps it real—high-quality, house-prepped meals in a relaxed setting.
From rare music memorabilia and custom artwork to cozy outdoor seating, every detail is designed to make you feel like part of the family. We serve food we love in places we love, with people we care about—and that energy is what keeps folks coming back.
