“ Hianao cafe is the spot You'll always meet somebody cool and the food for a bar is actually really good! ”

“ What I Ordered: -World Famous Cheeseburger $11 I read online that Hinano has one of the best burgers in all of LA. They weren't wrong, especially for the price. You get a decent-sized burger with all the fixings, some spicy peppers, and a bag of chips for $11. This is an unbelievable deal. You factor in the fact that you are a stone's throw away from the beach. I would easily pay $14 or $15 or more for that burger. It's really a bargain! I love the vibe of this bar. It's a relaxed surfer bar with sawdust shavings on the flour. They have several surfboards displayed on the ceiling for decor. It appears they take cards now despite what other people say online, but you will pay a higher price than cash. It's worth it to pay cash and save money (3% or so). There's an ATM inside as well. The pool table costs $1 per game. There are two pool tables. They only have beer/wine. They do have fireball shots, tho! There's complimentary popcorn for customers. The urinal in the men's room is made out of a mini keg, which is unique and cool. I really dig the vibe here. I'll be back to try these breakfast burritos as well - as they are apparently also very good. ”

“ This place has one of the best chili burgers I've ever had. Get it with Fritos to throw those in the burger. Can't go wrong. ”

“ I'm always looking for a local fun dive bar to go to hang out and catch up with friends. Hinano has such a fun lively atmosphere with beach vibes, and even has live music on the weekends! They have a cute outdoor seating area, pool, and is super close to the ocean. The decor is inviting and vibrant, making you feel like you're at a local dive bar on a tropical island. I also loved that they had Halloween decor, with Halloween being my favorite holiday! I'd say that the only downside is that they only serve beer and wine(no liquor). ”

“ When I was single and went out for an evening of merriment with my other single friends, this was where we started the evening. Usually it's pretty packed but that's because this is probably the last dive bar (or as close to a "dive bar" as you can get Venice) in the area. I personally don't think the burgers are all that special (they use frozen patties you can get a your local grocery store) -- they're not bad, just not as great as they are made out to be. Think what makes food seem better here is the jovial atmosphere and being "with the people," if that makes sense. Definitely a low-key, unpretentious place in Venice to hang out. Close proximity to the Whaler is also key. ”

“ As much as I'd like to give Hinano's Cafe a five star review the Burger came out luke warm Not hot the it should be if it was served right from the kitchen efficiency . When I used to come here. They were always hot and had more moisture. The flavor was still good. I hope the next time I come here the burger served right off the grill . It's still a nostalgic place that's been here since 1962. Hopefully next time. ”

“ 4++ A dive bar dripping with local and beach vibes. The service here was great and everybody's pretty chill and relaxed. It's been years since I've been back to this place, but I came here recently to try their cheeseburger. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place is pretty packed. There is also live music inside that was playing for a while. I ordered the cheeseburger at the counter near the front and grab the seat inside with a couple of friends. I have to say the cheeseburger was great. Just a solid backyard barbecue style cheeseburger serve with all the fixings like lettuce, tomato and onion, etc. It's pretty sizable so I was only able to eat the regular cheeseburger and got full off of that. I chose the cheddar. Pretty solid value for the price. I'm not sure if you could modify the order, but I don't remember choosing how my burger was prepared or the type of chips, lol. I figured they're so busy and I am not too picky (as well as having faith that the way they want to serve the burger is good) so I didn't really bother. They have a few TVs here so they probably play sports on them (the Copa America was on TV during our visit) and a pretty solid selection of beers. Definitely a chill place to hang out at near the beach. ”

“ Perfect little beach cafe just steps off the shore. Unfussy, no frills. The burgers are indeed excellent, served with an array of pickles and peppers and a bag of chips, your choice from a snack size assortment. Order a PBR in a bottle - the next one is free if your bottle cap has an ace. They only take cash and no children are allowed inside. ”

“ After hearing that the burgers were great, I decided to give it a try. I can report that they are OK. I was not overwhelmed. It was good, but pretty basic. I also got a side of chili, and liked it. What the place has going for it is ambiance and location. It's a legit dive bar, within throwing distance of the beach. There's plenty of outdoor seating, where you can enjoy the scenery. ”
