The Next Fun Thing hosts a Halloween-themed singles mixer on Marelle's patio for ages 26-40, with Casamigos and Bulleit cocktails plus seasonal bites.
A breezy Ocean Ave hideout that feels like someone finally designed a beachside restaurant for people who actually live here. Sunlight, rattan, and just enough polish to remind you Santa Monica still has taste. The patio slides straight into golden hour, the drinks flirt with being too pretty, and the menu does that seasonal coastal thing without acting like it invented citrus. It’s the kind of spot where brunch turns into “might as well stay for another round,” especially when the DJ warms up and the whole place starts to glow a little.
