The Craftsman Bar and Kitchen

The food took forever!!! I couldn't enjoy my drink because of that. Never again!!!

Sports bar on the left, finer restaurant experience on the right. Deserves a closer look if you like American food.

July 4th 7:50pm the front door j*** didn’t let us in to dine because I first asked to use the restroom, he said for customers only, I said yes we want to dine in but I need to use the restroom first. He refused us a table and said we don’t want your service. I’m reporting them for discrimination, that is awful and rude service. When I asked to speak to his manager he refused! I do see what the negative reviews mean now. Do not give them your business when they allow their staff to be that rude to customers!! It’s this guy in the picture, when I told him I’ll write a review he even laughed, how disrespectful can a person be?! I hope you have the worst night with your karma catching on, and someone treats you with the same disrespect one day.

Great spot to stop by on a night out with friends! My girlfriends and I came here to have some drinks and chat. We didn't see each other for a long time and needed a place that was not too loud. I don't drink alcohol, and I had enough options to choose from; I had one of their mocktails.They played some old-school throwback music videos on the screens. They have couches to chill at and shuffleboard to play with--a casual vibe.I love the fact that this place has many female stuff members! Our waitress and the bartenders were extremely welcoming and friendly.

Great place and great music. I love bars like this, the atmosphere is very cozy and the cocktails taste very good. I'm looking forward to come back.

It is very, very red in this place. Wish I gave it a try sooner. I was under the impression it is more of a cocktail bar but there are plenty of beer options and very affordable casual bar food. This place, including the kitchen, is open LATE — a hard to find asset for this area. Casual low key slightly hip vibe. Great servers/bartenders.

It was OK. Atmosphere was fine.Drinks were also fine.Service was fine.This is Santa Monica, so the clientele is questionable, but what can ya do?Overall liked the place. I'd go back.

1 point out of five Never again Dark room- couldnt see my food Wifi password did not work No help from employee Bad bad place

Came here every night during our stay in Santa Monica. This bar has got it down pat. Sick music, great food and drinks, and chill bouncer. Just an awesome atmosphere all around. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit. A+ in my books.

Bartender there is superb. Went back two days in a row. Good music with mix of older and younger people. Bar food is simple, but very good as well. Great bar!

Everything about this place is incredible, period!

Absolutely terrible experience. We ordered margaritas, but asked to substitute with mezcal. The waitress charged us an extra $3 per drink for mezcal PLUS another $3 per drink for top shelf mezcal PLUS another $6 arbitrary line item for the drinks. The waitress never told us that there would be such outrageous charges for wanting to make a substitute when we ordered. When we went back to dispute it, the bouncer was incredibly rude to us and told as that they had already closed and that ‘nobody cared.’ One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Would never go back there again. You never want to be treated like that at a restaurant. Disgraceful experience.

We stopped by for a beer and some wings, our server was very nice and attentive and very close To the shore hotel. we enjoyed our time there.
