Description
Considering its dingy decor and a clientele that can look a little rough at first blush, most people are shocked when they take their first bite of an Hinano burger. It is, simply, one of the better burgers in town--unfussy and classic. Coupled with a bag of chips and beer that is unusually cold, Hinano's is one of the best stops you can make when you’re checking out the bar scene on the west end of Washington Blvd. It’s the ideal sort of dive: two pool tables sit in the back room; there’s sawdust all over the floor; and you can even serve yourself a free basket of fresh popcorn from the popper in the corner. On most nights, it’s fairly crowded with friendly locals looking for a relaxed time. Get there before nine o’clock if you want to sit in one of the prized stools at the bar. You won’t leave once you’ve got one.User Reviews (1)

"Dive Bar In Paradise"
Posted by Jared Inglewood-MMX on 01/19/2009
Hinano is easy to overlook amidst the hubbub of Venice Beach and the noisier food-and-drink options that streak down Washington Blvd. toward the boardwalk. Hinano is a genuine old dive, which is a welcome fixture on a landscape with lots of turnover and an increasing amount of trend. Shoot some pool, soak up some tried-and-true tunes from weathered barroom rockers, and definitely sink your teeth into a well-seasoned burger, the house specialty (I recommend the bacon cheeseburger). Burger snobs won't be seduced away from Father's Office and its peers, but those places ain't at the beach. There's sawdust on the floor and the bathrooms are the approximate size of your coffin. Good times. Oh, but no french fries... just Doritos or Fritos to go along with your meat.
