Chowder Barge

The Chowder Barge is a historic floating restaurant located on a barge that has been converted for film purposes since the 1930s, berthed at Leeward Bay Marina in Wilmington. As the only floating restaurant in Los Angeles, it has offered a homey atmosphere with vintage character, cold beer, and no-frills food since 1988. The menu focuses on classic American dishes, with the house-made chowder and the Rev's Chowder Burger considered its signature specialties. Operations run with a small kitchen and only fifteen tables, which underscores the intimate character of the place. Guests should be prepared for the quirks of the aging wooden vessel, since the restaurant rests slightly on the mud at low tide and space is limited.
