Coyote Joe's $$

★ 4.0 · Mexican · 113 Catalina Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

Started as Saldana's Taco Shop in 1982, now the rowdy Mexican cantina a few steps from the pier — burritos are pricey ($24, island tax) but the margarita pitchers and 2am kitchen keep everyone coming back.

Hours: Sun 10am–2pm · Mon 10am–2pm · Tue 10am–2pm · Wed 10am–2pm · Thu 10am–2pm · Fri 10am–2pm · Sat 10am–2pm

Luau Larry's $$

★ 4.4 · Bar & Lounge · 509 Crescent Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

THE Catalina bar. Order the Wiki Wacker, get the straw hat, and you're officially on island time — 30+ years of tropical drinks, swordfish tacos and live music steps from the sand. Kitchen's better than it needs to be.

Hours: Sun 11am–1pm · Mon 11am–1pm · Tue 11am–1pm · Wed 11am–1pm · Thu 11am–1pm · Fri 11am–1pm · Sat 10am–1pm

Marlin Club $

★ 4.4 · Bar & Lounge · 108 Catalina Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

Avalon's oldest bar — built like a boat's bow by Merchant Marines during WWII, with Bud Upton's 1946 underwater mural still on the walls. Stiff drinks, pool, darts, zero pretension; open till 2am when the rest of town sleeps.

Hours: Sun 10am–2pm · Mon 10am–2pm · Tue 10am–2pm · Wed 10am–2pm · Thu 10am–2pm · Fri 10am–2pm · Sat 10am–2pm

Chi Chi Club $

★ 4.0 · Nightlife · 105 Sumner Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

The island's only real nightclub and basically the only thing open past midnight — DJs, live bands, a proper dance floor and cheap, fast drinks. It gets going late and gets loose; that's the assignment.

Hours: Sun 8pm–2pm · Mon 8pm–2pm · Tue 8pm–12pm · Wed 8pm–12pm · Thu 8pm–2pm · Fri 8pm–2pm · Sat 8pm–2pm

The Locker Room $

★ 4.4 · Bar & Lounge · 126 Sumner Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

JL's to the regulars — a sports bar inside the actual locker room the Chicago Cubs used for spring training on the island. Generous pours, fair prices, two pool tables, and you can bring in pizza from next door.

Hours: Sun closed · Mon 10am–2pm · Tue 10am–2pm · Wed 10am–2pm · Thu 10am–2pm · Fri 10am–2pm · Sat 10am–2pm
