SEGA: The rooftop bar has an amazing view of Venice and the beach/ocean, stellar drinks, and I had a hot dog with jalapeño and cream cheese on it. What more could you want? Kellie - Community Manager
James Gooch: Great rooftop bar to watch the sunset! Hot cocktails for when it gets chilly.
Caroline Deng: Home to Venice's only rooftop lounge, and has extremely friendly staff who make sure you have an amazing stay. 5 minutes walk from Venice Beach in a neighborhood that has amazing street art!

Showtime Network: Love the outdoor seating area. Great wine selection and food is amazing. Best lamb chops! -Francine, The Real L Word
Celebrity HotSpots: One of the coolest places on the westside! Lindsay Lohan & lots of celebs have been spotted at this low-key, hip hangout.The patio seating is magical and the squash blossom pizza can't be beat!
Kate H.: Nice but not pretentious. The meats are excellent - try the fennel sausage and rabbit meatballs. "Hidden" back patio is perfect for enjoying mild Santa Monica evenings with friends and lots of wine.

Kevin Reevers: Great atmosphere. Solid grasp of market-style cuisine. The build-your-own patio area adds an odd charm that fits the new territory Venice is in.
Connie Chiu: Quite in love with the granola honey yogurt (add figs!) and fig wild rice pudding. Just as in love with the outdoor seating though it gets crowded. Breakfast pizza is meh.
olivier PEYRE: Beautiful people doing business while grabbing a latte and a bite. Hearty hip breakfast/lunch. Sit in the patio.

John K.: Inside is more "guy" style. Patio is more for the ladies. Go with chicken salad w/blue cheese dressing and ask for extra large chicken scoops.
Superb: If you’re going for brunch, you have to try their chocolate explosion french toast. Also, opt to sit in the cute, whimsical patio area - it’ll make your experience that much better!
Mieke Spitaels: The tables outside are very pleasant and the foodis good. Portions are large and friendly service. The upside is that it is downtown Venice beach, lots of locals!
Christopher T: Get here early on weekends and score a seat on the comfy seats on the patio. Don't forget to get some yummy sangria!
Rachel Mercer: Amazing happy hour here with good outdoor seating. Come with a friend to split an early dinner! Lambwich is a safe, delicious bet and if you're a cheese fiend the goat cheese hot bowl is spectacular.
Beverly Reyes: Grilled white peaches with prosciutto & burrata!

Cocktail Bar · 7 tips and reviews
Taylor Blackburn: Fantastic cocktails, big outdoor area, prone to getting dancey on a Friday or Saturday night depending on the DJ quality. Kind of obnoxious Bungalow-type crowd, but they're there to have fun.
Wondering Feet: Super spacious, industrial-contemporary bar! Good selection of Music but not too loud, lively ambiance. Great to meet friends
Sydney M: Cocktails, vibe
Michele Cacano: The tacos with soyrizo are delicious, as is the sweet corn tamale. Dog-friendly patio seating is a plus!
Christina Chin: Fresh food place, got summer salad, was tasty. Outdoor seating, the only thing annoying is the flies
Łukasz Korecki: This is a semi hidden gem in Venice. Tacos are excellent
