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 !!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The wine selection was excellent and paired perfectly with our meal. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and relaxing, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a nice dinner and a glass of wine. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Paradise Cove is always lovely. We arrive mid afternoon and were immediately seated. We chose to be inside. Benjamin took very good care of us! We had a lovely lunch. We had planned to spend some time after lunch sitting in the beach, chairs, and relaxing. But now the area is corded off, and the chairs look precariously placed. we paid our discounted parking bill and left, rather disappointed.“

“We came here for our anniversary and it was a lot of fun! There is jazz 8-10pm T/Th and the band was great. Food was surpisingly good for a bar and the bartender did a great job with our drinks and was just a good hang for the evening. We will definitely come back again!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“A Google review score of 4.5 is criminally underrated. Get the jalapeno cucumber margarita, the cactus taco, pescado taco, and crispy shrimp taco.

The chips and salsa are fantastic. The prices at first felt high until the quality of the food soared above expectations. Don't miss out on this fantastic spot.

Plus, if you're a pokemon go fan there are 3 gyms available. Raids galore with fantastic food and margaritas.“

“Excellent food, nicest people! ☀️“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“Food was very good and large portions. However, our server was non existent. All of her tables were outside and just ours was inside. We rarely saw her. Had to ask others when we wanted to add an item to our order, needed more water and wanted our check. Made no sense why everyone around us had the same server and just our table in the corner inside was assigned to an outside server. Poor planning and execution.“

“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!“
