18 Best Cocktail Bars near Malibu

“I was very impressed by the friendliness and service with Ollo for a recent catering delivery. I called around to several places and with very slow response times and abruptness directing me back to the website for Uber delivery. The host and manager Spencer followed up on the order and went out of the way to make sure it was a great experience for the group and the stressed out person (me:) trying to coordinate for the group. Highly recommend!!“

“Ummm dare I say one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had !!!“

“ALWAYS AN AWSOME TIME , food , Drinks Ambiance , EVERYTHING FANTASTIC !!!!“

“Cali casual vibe. We went around 2:30p so not a big crowd lunch menu. We had salmon & cod —we loved the flavors. Cod portion was petite so if you get there hungry like the wolf you won’t be satiated but if you order a desert or order an appetizer you’ll leave happy. The eclectic complex flavors make up for the petit portion. Salmon was portioned just about right came in with purple rice. Menu includes burgers & other menu staples but I was wowed by the fish offerings. Suggestions would be put a fan up the ceiling it gets humid inside during the summer & also have ice accessible for the self serve water area. Whatcha waiting for just go! -Malibu Zinque“

“So delicious, I am not a rice person but I just couldn’t stop“

“This was my first time at Paradise Cove and I absolutely loved it! The food was amazing, the views were beautiful, and the whole experience was just perfect.

Melissa was our server and she was so warm, welcoming, and attentive. Her customer service was incredible and she made us feel right at home.

Definitely a 10/10 experience. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Tucked away behind a blue door, is a classy speakeasy-themed bar with smashing decor, fabulous drinks, and mixologists with finesse. This clean, sleek gem of a place is my favorite place to have a unique cocktail and bites. The lighting is cozy and on certain nights they have live music. Go, check it out. You can stop by the main restaurant and/or step back in time and enjoy this spiffy and sophisticated spot. Love it.“

“Have dined at Pearl District many times over the years for special occasions or just a nice evening out. It's always consistently delivered in great customer service and quality food. Offers great drink options and also an extensive wine list (by the glass or bottle). Some of the standout dishes are the "pan roasted wild mushrooms", "braised short ribs", filet mignon & branzino. For dessert the "wonder bar" is a must!“

“Lure Fish House is easily one of my favorite spots. The ambiance is amazing. Whether you're there for a date night, dinner with friends, or just looking for a great seafood experience, the atmosphere never disappoints.

My go-to dishes are the Tequila Lime Shrimp Pasta and the Charbroiled Oysters. The pasta is packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, while the oysters are an absolute must-try. Everything tastes fresh and is prepared with care.

The service is always friendly, the food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for great seafood and a fantastic dining experience.“

“Excellent menu with great food, reasonable prices, wonderful ambiance and a friendly staff What more would you want for date night“

“Friendly people, amazing food. Very nice to their musicians. 🙏🎶“

“This place is ten minutes from my house but the Angeleno along us is the one who found it and invited us there! Nice outdoor seating if you don’t want to be indoors; the cute menu includes vegetarian options and nice cocktails (though not poured deep); we lived our options. I got the impossible taco salad (Impossible crumbles replaced regular hamburger taco meat); my son had a Pepperoni flatbread; he pointed out to us that (per the menu)a dollar from every sale of that pizza goes to children’s charities. Gotta like a place that gives back! 💙 The Reuben was phenomenal. The wait staff was pleasant, courteous, and cheerful. We will be back!“

“I have been going here for some time now. For some reason, ceviche with tuna was out of the world this time around. It was the best I had in a very long time. we were a group of 4, but I guess I finished all of it on my own. Just want to give a big kudos to the kitchen staff for making this dish very memorable.“

“Excellent food, nicest people! ☀️“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“So good that my cousin and I went there three times in one week! The food was really good, especially for the price, the staff (all three waiters we had!) were knowledgable, helpful, kind/friendly, and the atmosphere on the patio was pleasant. This seems like a small thing but most of the time when I order salmon and ask for it to be on the tender/rare side my request is ignored -- not at Rosti, they got it right! The vegetables and potatoes were well-cooked, and the house-baked bread was soooo good! 100% recommend.“

“Food and service are top notch“

“We recently dined at RED O Mexican at The Promenade, and the entire evening was an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. The moment you step into the venue, you are completely transported by the resort-style ambiance. Featuring dramatic lighting, rich natural textures, and a stunningly designed bar space, it strikes the ultimate balance between high-end sophistication and a lively, energetic pulse. It is exactly the kind of atmosphere that makes an evening feel incredibly special the second you arrive.
The contemporary Mexican menu is a brilliant showcase of bold, authentic flavors reimagined with a modern twist. We kicked off our culinary journey with their fresh, table-side guacamole and the incredibly succulent carnitas empanadas. For the entrees, the premium wood-fired steaks and fresh seafood completely stole the show. Every single plate that hit our table was beautifully arranged, cooked with masterclass precision, and packed with layers of complex, vibrant seasoning. You can instantly taste the commitment to high-quality ingredients and upscale culinary craft in every bite.
What completely cements RED O as a premier local destination, however, is their outstanding customer service. The staff treats hospitality like a true art form. The entire team moves with a level of professionalism, warmth, and grace that is exceptionally rare to find. Our server was warm and attentive without ever feeling intrusive, offering perfect cocktail pairings and ensuring our table was flawlessly cared for throughout the night. Between the stunning Tulum vibes, the unforgettable food, and the genuinely welcoming staff, RED O has officially become our favorite spot in the area. We cannot wait to return!“
