Lobster & Beer Santa Monica is a small seafood pub in Santa Monica that serves lobster rolls, lobster grilled cheese, and clam chowder. The Connecticut roll comes with warm butter, the Maine roll with cold aioli sauce, and lobster bisque is also available to order. It is about a 16-minute walk from Santa Monica Pier, and orders are placed directly at the bar, with indoor and roadside outdoor seating available. The lobster rolls are small in portion, so they may not be filling as a full meal.
