Located directly across from the Venice Pier, vibrant and colorful sunset views are easily seen from the open air patio on the second story. Visited by such music royalty as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and The Doors, the unique history found here is woven through the walls and corridors of this special beach shack. Specialty cocktails with rock music themes are on tap. The “Jane’s Addiction” (Santa Teresa 1796 Rum, fresh watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and a twist of mint) or a “Paradise City” (vodka, coconut water, pineapple, salted vanilla, and lime juice) will go down just as smooth as the sunset.

This historical building has been a landmark in Venice since it first opened its doors in 1958. With a new look and a new name, The Venice Beach Bar is a classic venue serving Baja inspired cuisine and artisanal cocktails. The evocative atmosphere and second story outlook are ideal for a classic California sunset. Grab a Tequila Blanco (white tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice) or an invigorating Cucumber Garden (cucumber dill vodka, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of sugar) and let the daytime casually slide into the evening. Try adding fruits, such as pineapple, for a tropical twist on classics such as a gin and soda.
