Culver City has quietly become one of the best nights out in LA, with cocktail dens, industry-beloved restaurants, bars that regulars claim as their own, not to mention one of the kookiest museums in America. These are the spots worth making the trip for.

A low-lit Culver City cocktail den that feels like it was designed for whispered secrets and second martinis. The lighting is merciful, the booths are plush, and the bartenders treat classic cocktails like a sacred text…
Culver City · 10899 Venice Blvd. W, Los Angeles, CA 90034
A slice of 1930s cocktail refuge tucked into the Palms strip—think subway tiles, a massive wooden bar that might’ve moonlit in a Wisconsin saloon, and bartenders in bow‑ties that feel more Hemingway than hipster. It’s d…
Culver City · 10929 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064
A cocktail bar dressed like a British manor’s library, where the books are mostly for show but the top-shelf whiskey selection is very real. Low-lit and lush with leather and wood, it’s the kind of place where you half-…
Culver City · 3967 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA 90230
This pint-sized dive has that charming "someone’s basement on open mic night" vibe. The beer’s cold, the stage is small, and the regulars have stories they’ll gladly shout over the live honky-tonk. It’s the kind of join…
Culver City · 11208 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90230
A Rat Pack-era steakhouse with dim lighting, stiff drinks, and a menu that doesn’t bother with trends. The inside-out chicken parm is a marvel of engineering, the bougie tots come topped with caviar, and if you order a …

A rooftop Mediterranean perch above the Culver Steps where golden hour hits like a soft filter. Tiled floors, trailing greenery, and a bar scene that fills up fast with spritzes and after-work exiles who “just popped by…
Culver City · 10868 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232, USA
The breakfast burrito is the whole point. Here you are served tater tots where other places use hash browns and proteins from Bludso's BBQ and Ugly Drum pastrami. Coffee is serious too, with nothing on the menu running …
Culver City · 9341 Venice Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232
A great place to visit on mushrooms, this is a cathedral to oddities and the extraordinary origins of everyday things. Keep in mind, the gift shop desk is occupied by an employee who has been instructed not to answer qu…
Culver City · 11113 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232, USA
The minty-green marzipan Princess Cake and chocolate-dipped marzipan cookies fill the cases before they empty by midmorning — people line up before 8 a.m. on weekends, some driving in from San Diego. No wholesale, no se…
