Santa Monica, Los Angeles · bar
Santa Monica locals mix with the yacht-adjacent to sip cocktails under dim lights and brass ship wheels. Early evening, it’s mellow enough to catch up over something citrusy; by weekend midnight, it’s shoulder-to-shoulder with people who definitely practiced their “casual” oceanfront look. Pricey drinks, valet outside, and the faint smell of salt air reminding you you’re technically still by the beach.
