You need to use the Google Places API Web Service. It allows you to query for place information on a variety of categories, such as: establishments, prominent points of interest, geographic locations, and more.

Here is an example of a search request for places of type 'food' within a 500m radius of a point in Sydney, Australia, containing the word 'cruise' in their name:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=cruise&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Note that you'll need to replace the key in this example with your own key in order for the request to work in your application.

Check this SO question on how to return the closest 20 location to the users current location.
