35 Best Bar & Grill near Santa Monica

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

“Excellent afternoon here with a couple of friends. I had just finished a 2.5 hour morning hike so I was ravenous and ordered too much food but there were no regrets honestly. I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Their al pastor and chorizo & cheese tacos were excellent, and I loved the creamy seafood enchiladas. They honored my requests to make the margaritas a little drier for all of us, and they came out perfectly balanced. Definitely would return.“

“Great place and great service“

“I come here every so often and it’s always consistently good and the staff is always nice.
My favorite thing to get is the tahini bowl with chicken or falafel - both are great!
Always a nice chill atmosphere, good food, and nice beer selection. Really can’t get any better than that!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great little place found near our hotel. Quick bite after a long day out. I had chicken mac & cheese and the portion was huge!
Our server accommodated us well by seating us quickly and bringing us water straight away before ordering drinks.
The only thing I will say was it was very loud even in the seating area as you could guests at the bar shouting etc“

“Went here yesterday and honestly had such a good time. The vibe was on point, the music was great, and the staff was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Drinks were well made and came out quick, which I always appreciate. It felt like the perfect spot to relax, have fun, and actually enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to friends. 🍸✨“

“Real nice enjoy seeing the beach while I ate“

“They were real life savers for me when I got sick during a supposed rejuvenation weekend at the hotel. I was worn out! 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! 😃😃😃🙏🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡❤️❤️❤️“

“I went here and I enjoyed it on a Saturday evening because I was looking for some place not too crowded and with a pool table. Perfect. Unfortunately they don't serve any food. Bottles of Corona cost $6. A little expensive but once every other week is not bad.“

“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.“

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

“These restaurant is very good and gets very good on Superbowl and NBA champion.“
