I hate any place that makes you line up outside — as if that means something cool is going on inside. Some people like this place, the DJs, the scene. Others despise it. Your call.

Local dive gets a face lift, starts serving martinis—you know the story. The good news: it’s actually kinda better…and still not terminally hip.

Liam’s not here making cantaloupe martinis anymore, but this is Hal’s house and the joint jumps. Good vibe, great food. Live jazz weekend nights.

Heinous on the outside, not much better in, the Whaler can be a rowdy bummer…or, when the crowds aren’t around, a nice place for an ocean view brew.

Can be a scene, too Hollywoody, at times. But also really good food and drink. One of the better places around Venice to go for a nice night out.
