“The Big Dean's burger was fantastic. Highly recommend!!!!“

“Great place and great service“

“A great place for a big group! We had a large group for a birthday and the entire team was so nice and we were well taken care of. They easily adjusted our reservation amount and accommodated our cake. The food and drinks were great and the decor inside and outside is beautiful. A great addition to the neighborhood!“

“2nd time in 3 weeks and the second was every bit as delightful - chill, counter service, brunch place. Elevated brunch fare (I enjoyed the hash the first time but the chiliquiles were among my all time favorites), exceptionally executed cocktails, ample options of beer and wine and bubbles. There's a variety of seating options from sidewalk adjacent people watching atop the parking lot perch with tables and chairs, to the more outdoor bar like back area, which also seems perfect for events and with TVs etc. The place is easy to miss passing by, a sliver on Main Street. I used to live nearby and still come back frequently. Totally a neighborhood vibe and totally worth stopping in. Quintessential Venice Beach a few blocks from the ocean.“

“lovely staff, tasty food, and they actually play the sound during games 🙌 10/10 recommend“

“Usually hotel food is alright, so we decided to play it safe and get a burger and it was actually really good. The patty was juicy, and everything was very flavorful. The fries were also really good, crispy, and well seasoned. Not sure about the rest of the menu, but I would definitely get the burger and fries here again.“

“Nerds + Pleasant Ruckus later at night, "Cheers" bar earlier.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy flow, seating and booth options in 2/3 the place. The bar is too high if you use a standard chair but there is a QR code to order at and you can flag down staff (The guy at the entrance is nice and can help, or go straight once you enter).“

“UBG is the best place for great food and drinks and the best music scene around town. The owner Greg and the entire staff are awesome. It is homey but also Hollywood flavor! So many great events here. Any day of the week you can be sure to find something cool happening here. My band Bonnie Brae has made it a home away from home and just LIVE it here. So much great live music and variety! Comedy-jams-original music-you name it it all happens here.“

Eartha and Francis at the Daily Grill nursed me back to health making me custom food to nourish me and my little dog Chewbacca! We will always remember their kindness! Nice place! Classy while still being warm! 😃😃😃🙏🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡❤️❤️❤️“

“There is no other place I love to let loose and dance my heart out more than The Dime! I had such a fun night being transported back to when bars were casual and fun to go to. Good drinks, great music, loved the vibe!“

“We had a few hours to kill before a flight at LAX. This place was great to hang out at, have a few drinks and eat great food. Portions were huge and drinks were just right. It seemed like everyone else were locals so that means to me people like the place. Bus stop around the corner takes you back to the LAX train station to the airport.

Will be back next time we have a flight.“

“Real nice enjoy seeing the beach while I ate“

“I was in from MN looking for a Vikings bar to watch the game. I called beforehand and spoke with Bryan and he let me know this was the GO-TO for Vikings Football and he didn't disappoint. MN....This Cali bar made us look BAD!!! They had the US Bank Drum. Someone was with a Vikings Pancho with our horn. A commentator talking s#!+ !!!! I felt more at home 3k miles away from home then I do at any so called Vikings bar in MN?. I'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK...?????? SKOL????“

“Awesome place. Beer is well priced and owners are VERY NICE. I will deffinatly make this my regular spot!!“

“Nice walk-up bar with great food at the pool deck area at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey. The staff is very friendly and helpful; they have numerous servers walking the pool deck to take orders, deliver eats & drinks and make sure the guests stay well-fed and hydrated! They also have outdoor seating at the restaurant patio, some with a fire pit. During our few days staying at this property, they came around about once an hour with free samples of drinks and snacks to try, which was really nice.“

“This is a nice place to relax and unwind. They have TVs behind the bar playing NFL games. I only wish they served food. They're supposed to be working on making that happen. I wish them luck as this is a nice place and some food would make it perfect.“

“Prendre une bière avec Barney, le rêve!!“
