![]() It’s something other South Bay locations are doing, including two within a one-minute bike ride of Shade, BALEENKitchen ($14 until 2 p.m.) and R10 ($14 until 3 p.m.). There will be a Happy Hour and also brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.Īccording to Manhattan Beach GM Shaunna Mckelvey, who is heavily involved in the food and drink planning, bottomless mimosas are a possibility with the brunch.
