What People Are Saying About The Malibu Pier Club

In Short – The small bare-bones interior consists only of a long bar, but what's inside is beside the point. Visitors here have one location in mind: Outside on the pier. Even though there's no real decor to speak of, there is a live piano player, blankets on the backs of chairs in case you get cold and blue Pacific Ocean as far as the eye can see. Families and couples on dates enjoy the upscale pub grub including starters like ahi tacos and a two-person Caesar salad "fondue" with the dressing served in a bread bowl and endive and romaine lettuce on the side for dipping.

Great

Great ocean view overlooking Malibu, while you are enjoying a delicious meal. This is one of those places, where you want to keep coming back. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, always a winner! Food is great! Staff is awesome. Overall, you'll have a great experience.
- Pros: Food, Service, Ocean
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Location makes up for everything else

The menu is pretty horrific. I went with about 15 people and nearly everyone ordered the burger because the other items were all a little scary. The service was actually a point of amusement. Nice and well intended enough, but completely clueless. I don't know if I've heard a waitress say "I just don't know if I can do that " so many times in my life. That being said, the view and location is amazing. Waves crashing, gorgeous sunsets, dolphins passing by - one really can't ask for more. So, I recommend checking it out, but perhaps eat somewhere else first.
- Pros: Location, location, location
- Cons: Food

Going downhill fast

I've eaten at the Pier Club about 5 times since it has opened and each time I go the food as well as the service gets progressively worse. If I had written this review after my first visit it would have gotten 5 stars but with many new restaurants they start off strong and then get complacent. The first time I had the mini ahi tacos I fell in love with them. Expensive yet health, delicious and fun. Last week I almost got sick. Not fresh, fishy tasting, and sloppilly prepared. Upon opening the wait staff was genuine, friendly and attentive. During my last visit I had to interrupt a personal conversation in order to be seated. I was served Ice tea with no ice and after waiting 10 minutes after asking for a cup of ice I had to get up and go to the bar to get it. MInd you it was not cowded at all. I had high hopes for this location which has an excellent view but I think I'm done there. Don't even get me started on the Beachcomber cafe which is across the pier but I'll give that place another try before writing a review.
Pros: location, views, decent burger
Cons: parking, price, consistency,
The Details on The Malibu Pier Club
Know Before You Go:
The establishment is basically a cocktail bar on the ocean--it's not the place to go for an extravagant multi-course meal.
Look Good:
Bathrooms are outside and in the front of the building--you'll need to get a key from the hostess.
Parking:
Valet isn't always offered, and the price changes depending on the time of day. The next-door lot is inexpensive and makes parking a little more hassle-free.
