15 Best Bars in Venice

“Brought some friends there to watch playoff football and a ufc fight. Ended up having the best filet mignon of my life. So tender you could slice through it with the side of your fork. Had fresh oysters from Virginia, which I was told are only $2 on Tuesday or Wednesday (have to fact check here). And probably the best thing on the menu is the bacon wrapped plantains, not a lot of food, but every bite is heaven. Wife loved her fancy drinks, but I prefer scotch.“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“I loved my second time here! We had the best waiter, Marcus. He continuously had a smile on his face while serving and had no issue answering our “what’s better?” Questions about drinks. I hope Marcus is able to receive as much joy, as I did here, at Dodger stadium 😉😂.“

“Wow. What a hidden gem! I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I wanted to keep it to myself. Leena is such a joy and KNOWS her wine! The music the ambiance, every detailed is absolutely tensed to! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“We were headed out of Venice and decided to stop by here because of the cool sign, and the fact there was free street parking right out front. The guy bartending (didn't get his name, but he has glasses and he's super friendly!) was quick to serve us. This is a sports type bar attached to an Italian restaurant, so it's pretty laid back but you get the option to order from their full menu. We were debating on grabbing something small to munch on, when we were surprised with complimentary hot garlic rolls! They really hit the spot, and paired well with our drinks. They came around quite a few times offering a refill on the bread, which was such a cool bonus. It feels like nothing in life is free, but the rolls here are and they are BANGIN.“

“Good service, casual atmosphere. We had brunch. Brunch special is $20, including one brunch option (a variety of egg and other breakfast dishes) and a brunch cocktail. The regular menu was offered as well. The potatoes and tzatziki was delicious. Valet parking is $10.“

“Super cool 😎 Great place for drinks with friends, cool vibe and crowd“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“Checked out this cool little bar and had a great time. The place was crowded, but still easy to enjoy the atmosphere. There was only one bartender and one bouncer working that night, so service could be a bit slow at times, but the bartender handled it well.
The drink selection was solid, with a good variety of cocktails, and prices were fairly reasonable. Parking was a bit challenging since it’s mostly street parking. Overall, a fun spot worth checking out.“

“Had an outstanding night watching Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express at the Venice West. Venice West is an intimate venue with a perfect layout for live performances. Dinner was enjoyable and the staff was helpful and friendly. Now for the main event... Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express put on a heck of show. The band was tight and rocked the house. Every song was a hit and our group was blown away. Thanks for making great music! Looking forward to returning again for another memorable evening of great music and food.“

“The food and drinks here were excellent! Ordered a couple of rolls to share, as well as the miso eggplant (the best!). The atmosphere was nice and the bar area was really unique. Noise level was a bit too loud to hear others, so I would not recommend if you’re wanting a quiet spot.“

“Buena comida 🥘 buen lugar para una buena velada“

“historic music venue in Venice California“

“While They Don’t Serve Food Here It Doesn’t Stop The Immaculate Service. The Staff Is Always Kind And Treat You With Respect!! Love This Place Good For A Friend Group On Weekends Or A Little Solo Date Night Or Enjoying The Company Of Another“

“Decent place, good amount of protein in their dishes however they go very light in the seasoning also pretty light on the sauce. Firehouse is great but message to the kitchen: You inadvertently support the stereotype that Americans lack flavor so I hope this is addressed!“
