Venice, Los Angeles · bar
A laid-back dive bar shrine since the ’60s, right by the beach. Sawdust on the floor, pool tables clacking, and a jukebox that kicks in when the surf crowd rolls out. The star here? A char-grilled “world-famous” cheeseburger (simple, greasy, perfect) and yes, they still offer free popcorn and frosty beer mugs. Wafts of live music filter in most nights; happy hour runs daily 4-8 pm with bargain beer and wings. Cash-only, unapologetically divey, and built for lingering. This is where you go when you need a burger, a beer, and zero pretense.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
