Matt Pinner: finally, everynight late night eats for nonfastfoodies
Christopher T: Late, late night or early, early kinda dive bar. Or when you're in the mood for pool.
Wesley Kaminsky: Don't really see the buzz of this place. Long line on weekends, not so sure it's worth it. However, there is an amazing Philly cheesesteak truck late night. I'm a Philly native and I approve. Get one.
Sunny Bak: March 15 there will be a all photography Art installation for the Venice Art Crawl. Everything from late night w David Letterman's Marc Karzen to Venice's David Zentz.
John Koetsier: Right on the beach. Nice large rooms, mostly with partial beach view.
Holly W.: Remember during Venice Art Walk that art is sometimes displayed within the suites, even on the top floors.

Rebecca Banos: Great burgers, good vibe...friendly and fun patrons!
Chris[ta] Meow: Hinano is the key to my Vagina. There's only one way to order this burger... Swiss/Cheddar/GrilledOnions/Bacon. Your welcome.
Dress for the Date: Since 1972. Notorious for being Jim Morrison's favorite Venice hangout. Great live bands Fri. through Sun. night. Oh, yeah they have free popcorn too.
Travis Kindl: A full moon makes for a crazy evening. Wear a light jacket late nights
Elaine: Absolutely a must-do if you're in Venice. Excellent view, especially at sunset. Call about reservations.
Alexandra E.: A fun rooftop lounge with fabulous views of the coastline, mountains and city. Great place to have a drink year-round, day or night. Heat lamps and blankets at night, sunscreen and shades for the day!

Simple Foodie: Grilled Peaches Prosciutto and Burrata, orecchiette and lamb sausage, pizzas, it's all good.
Eater: A neighborhoody spot that's filled with regulars, pick from seasonalsmall plate offerings and some skinny-crusted brick oven pizzas. The roasted vegetables are also a must-try. Read more.
Bravo: Plush, sexy and irresistible atmosphere without the uptight snobbery! The food is dynamic and market fresh. They give a knock out brunch, so try it if you’re in Venice! -Robin Leventhal, Top Chef
