For those who work a 9 to 5 job five days of the week, a friendly watering hole with tasty food and plenty of sun (umbrellas dot the deck) may I propose the Pitcher House Upper Deck, at 409 N. PCH, Redondo which is a mini mall with such other enticements as a Whole Foods, a Paris Baguette, and various clothing/accessories shops along with a pet food store. Redondo Shores Shopping Center more formally.
The beer selection is quite adequate with (I seem to remember) a 4 page menu. My tipple is Scrimshaw, ($7) and Richie stuck to his Pacifico, also $7 per pint. Since I love them, I ordered their Fried Pickles ($8) as an appetizer. These are fat dill pickle slices, battered and deep fried with little cups on the side of ranch dressing and a salsa-type sauce. Let them cool down a bit or you will burn your mouth even after they have been dipped in cold sauce.
Still feeling a bit peck-ish we ordered the Quesadilla with fresh salsa ($8) and the trio of Sliders ($11). Having eaten most of the pickles - Richie is not a fan - I now have two sliders for lunch today.
You can certainly sit inside; there is plenty of seating, but I really love the patio that runs across the front of the building. Basking in the sun, sipping an ice cold one … scarfing down very good food … makes all of the Saturday chores much more acceptable when you know the Pitcher House Upper Deck awaits you.
During our visit, a bunch of 30-somethings were playing Cornhole, a game in which a bean bag is tossed from one end of the outdoor court to the other, trying to put said bean bag into a hole on the other end of the tilted board.
If that's too much energy to be expended, just enjoy the sun and the people below darting in and out of the various shops. Enjoy! There's plenty of free parking and an elevator swoops you up to the 2nd floor quite handily.
