With over 50 years in operation, we are celebrating the Golden Era of Gladstones by reviving our favorite stories, recipes, and drinks. Join us for a memorable family occasion.

Our Story

Founded in 1972 right on the beach in Malibu, Gladstones restaurant has been a symbol of Los Angeles and the Southern California lifestyle for nearly half a century. Owned by former Los Angeles Mayor Richard J. Riordan, this classic establishment has stood the test of time, outlived trends, and set the bar for quality, warmth, and excellent seafood.

Gladstones is a special restaurant located directly on the beach in Malibu, California.

Our Vision

Gladstones is a place of relaxation, fun and simple pleasures—where the seafood is always fresh and the drinks are always cold. Please enjoy your time here, and let us provide you with an experience that will create lifelong memories for you and your family.
