The Scene – Outside, two flags wave: One for merry olde England, the other for the nation that kicked its butt. Inside is a letter-perfect British pub, with dark-wood paneling, granny-style wallpaper and a cozy fireplace. The long wooden bar in back serves seven excellent brews on draft, and darts are available to entertain. But it's not a raucous bar full of hooligans, but a family-friendly hangout. – – The Food – England may not be known for its cuisine, but the pub grub here is always comforting. Goliath-sized tiger shrimp are fried golden brown in Bass ale batter,…

Our favorite hang-out!!!
by MartaR483
I have gone several times. I love the area blocks from the water. We go for the friends we have met there and the great food. I had the lamb salad. it is something you can not find on just any menu. Great English food!
Excellent English Food and Atmosphere!

What a treat to get Shepards Pie, and other English fare. Nice owner, servers, bartenders. Great atmosphere - doesn't fee like California!
Great Happy Hour
by Michelle Ramsey
The Whale & Ale has a great happy hour. This is one restaurant I like to visit when ever I'm in San Pedro.
Awesome place!
by Dion Isis
Best food of its kind in the area. I've never had a bad meal or a bad drink here. They have great music and holiday specials and the owners and wait staff are really, really nice. Just great!
- Pros: Excellent Scottish/Irish/British menu, good brews on tap
- Cons: kind of small and carpet could use a cleaning
Classy English Dining in San Pedro
by thesilb
These are some reviews for The Whale & Ale that I have gleaned from the web:
1. The Whale & Ale brings much class to San Pedro. The food is always superb and the service is always friendly. Anyone looking for a wonderful time dining out should discover The Whale & Ale.
2. Wow. Terrific beer selection, live music on many of the weekends I've gone. I have had such a good time, I go back as often as possible. Sit by the fireplace, you'll feel as if you're in London. Dishes I've enjoyed include: fish & chips, welsh rarebit, salmon, sticky toffee pudding, bread pudding. I've had nibbles off other people's plates and always liked their food; (people I know, - I'm not grazing from stranger's tables).
I had one of the best Beef wellingtons here - and they have a really impressive wine list for a 'pub'. The fish & chips are delicious. Fish, (Atlantic Cod), has a crisp, buttery batter surrounding perfectly flaky but firm white fish, and it comes with a glorious tartar sauce. The prime rib au jus with horseradish is juicy and flavorful, and I'm a particular fan of the creamed spinach that comes with it. Try their house burger with blue cheese....it's absolutely delicious. The meat is superb, it tastes like ground steak, but the texture is perfectly tender and top notch.
3. Beautifully oak-paneled place with aged decor.
Upstairs they have darts and a giant metal whale. And, yes, I mention bathrooms in almost every review. That's important to some people. The bathrooms here are numerous enough that you won't have to wait, and clean.
4. Great service, great drinks, great food, AND the best salad dressing in the history of the world.
It was August's First Thursday in San Pedro, and the joint was jumping. Not to worry, though, we were treated royally. The kids enjoyed Shirley Temples, fish & chips, pasta. My man and I loved the New Zealand Red Snapper with rice and Asian Veggies. We also had the chilled pea soup with spicy crabmeat - to die for!!!
- Pros: Friendly, efficient, interesting dishes well prepared
- Cons: None
