Even during happy hour they had an amazing DJ which makes me wonder what this place is like at night 😝 the sangria was delicious! #santamonica #losangeles #glutenfree #gfhannah #sangria ### nicks — 5.0/5 · Mar 2, 2026 A bar style setting with bar style food. Expect this place to be loud and generally a bit of people. If you love that, this is your place! ### vivsmee — 5.0/5 · Apr 27, 2022 Yummy drinks! I ordered a moscow mule and it was refreshing & delicious. Took around 30ish minutes for a drink. We also ordered one taco but after waiting 45min it still wasn’t ready so we cancelled it since we had to leave. Maybe we’ll give it a try next time! LOVED the DJ. Her music was such a vibe. Overall would recommend 🤍 ### sethbeard — 5.0/5 · Jun 24, 2025 You can’t beat the ocean views! The service was great and the food was decent. My grilled chicken was cooked a bit too long but was still enjoyable. I’ll definitely go back. ### megantursi — 4.3/5 · Jul 12, 2025 Very nice bartenders but the drinks are typical LA expensive
