Shellback Tavern has again signed on to be one of the sponsors for the Manhattan Beach Fireworks show put on by Pete and Gwen's Moffett Productions. We signed on as a proud sponsor to thank the residents of Manhattan Beach for allowing us seating space along Ocean Drive during the Pendemic. We hope you enjoy the show!

Now there’s something you won’t ever see I hope . Although I’m sure there are some in the downtown community that would love to see a heliport put in on the pier LOL. 

An Australian Qantas 747, mistaking the extensive holiday lighting on Manhattan pier for LAX runway 25L, completed a successful short runway landing, much to the surprise of locals and tourists alike.

Australian tourists filed out of the aircraft into local bar Shellback Tavern , where they were devoured by local singles on account of their accents. Local legend & Shellback owner Bob Beverly, when asked about the incident said "Just another day in paradise at lands end".

Update on regular bar service re-opening. Although our Governor announced that bars could re-open Friday, L.A. County has not given approval yet. This means alcohol with food service only. So the past few weeks rules remain in effect.
