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.

Owing to its close proximity to the Rand Corporation, not only can you get tanked at Chez Jay, you can get think-tanked.

Beer joint. Nice and rowdy when there’s something going on that brings people out. Just south of the Santa Monica Pier.

La Cabana Restaurant

For those about to rock—and who are going to want to eat later, La Cabana salutes you. Not too many places serve into the wee hours around these parts. Just thinking about it makes me want a pitcher of margs.

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.

Free liquor! This place has more happy hours than Blinky the Clown. And the ambience…think Best Buys with booze. If you want inexpensive Mexican food and strong drinks, Cabo Cantina is the place for you. On Washington a block from the Venice Pier.
