Great spot! Easy parking at meters on Santa Monica Blvd; recommend the Westside (very delicious and refreshing!), the Bourbon Fix (Old Fashioned-y but less sweet, more tart) and the Paloma Cafe.

The Chestnut Club’s bare brick walls and antique fixtures lend a dignified air, perfect for enjoying a stunning collection of old and rare spirits and a sharp list of spartan cocktails. Read more

Everything you love about a speakeasy with the added plus of a club vibe (sans douchebag). The perfect mix. Bartenders know their shit, so trust them despite their required uniform 😳

Great for a pre-dinner strong drink on a Saturday. Get the El Camino, a more complex drink in the old fashioned family.

Great drinks, knowledgable bartenders and good atmosphere. Nice appetizers/bar food. A bit pricy ..my new chill zone.

Good for a relaxing cocktail during the week. Great mix of whiskeys and well mixed cocktails.

This place needs a lot more seats if it wants to be a nice cocktail lounge. I easily would have stayed for another few hours but there is something unpleasant about pushing through a crowd to order.

Kind bartenders with great knowledge. Sit at the bar to sample some interesting liquor.

Very good cocktails available late night in Santa Monica. Get the Chestnut Cup if you like gin.

Great spot, good drinks, glacial ice cubes.

Comprehensive cocktails in a low/light, swanky atmosphere.

Vynil country music on Sunday is terrific way to end the weekend.

It's cool and very old fashioned -- but I left my number for the bartender and he never texted me :/
