Good Times & Great Food
From the first cup of coffee to the last round of the night, this is where Catalina Island eats, drinks, and unwinds. Fresh seafood, a serious bar, and zero pretense — right in the heart of Avalon.
Open Daily For Breakfast At 7 a.m.
Come Hungry. Stay a While.
Some places try hard to be a local favorite.
The Lobster Trap just is one.
We've been feeding islanders and visitors alike from breakfast through last call — seven days a week, 7 am to 10 pm and beyond. Whether you're fueling up before a dive trip, grabbing a cold one after a long day on the water, or settling in for a proper dinner, you've found your spot.
Fresh Catch.
Real Food.
Serious Bar.
When you're 22 miles off the California coast, fresh seafood isn't a selling point, it's just how things work. Fish, caught close and kept simple. And if seafood's not your thing, there's plenty at the table for you too.
The bar's a local favorite. Craft cocktails, cold beer, a wine list without pretense, and bartenders who mean it. Happy hour has a way of stretching into dinner around here, and that's not an accident.
Avalon's a small town. People talk. We're grateful the conversation about The Lobster Trap has stayed a good one.
Come see for yourself.
