Santa Monica, Los Angeles · bar
Classic beachside drinking hole where you can get a dangerously stiff drink and a buttered steak while admiring the nautical theme. There are peanut shells on the floor, the jukebox doesn’t play anything newer than music from 1983, and you’ll be entranced by that weird giant marlin on the wall behind the bar. Bar none, one of the most authentic experiences in Santa Monica.
The signature dish since 1959. Light pan-fried sand dabs with toasted almonds. Sinatra's go-to dish.
House Bloody Mary at a Santa Monica institution. Spicy and strong.
Beach-bar burger. Straightforward and satisfying.
Butter-basted, herbed NY strip. The go-to classic order.
Free peanuts on every table since '59. Alan Shepard took one to the moon.
