Food Scene

Favorite local, authentic Mexican restaurant. The salsa is fresh/spicy, the chips are warm and the fajitas are out of this world. Best part - BYOB :)

Hidden gem with fantastic food and cool, unique vibe. A bit on the spendy side but definitely a great choice. Feel free to bring a bottle of wine or two as it is BYOB.

Drinks & Nightlife

Steps from the apartment, the Otheroom has a chill ambiance and a perfect place for a nice glass of wine or a beer or two. Not getting too rowdy here.

Oldest bar in Venice. Been around since the prohibition era with a speakeasy in the basement with live music most nights of the week. Great cocktails, whiskey list, and beers. Three different areas - dimly lit tables, bar/pool table, downstairs - live music

Definition of hole in the wall bar - but for all the right reasons! Literally on the beach, steps from the Venice Pier. A local watering hole and a must see. Beers only & free popcorn! Live music on the weekends. Definitely try one of their "world famous burgers" while you are shooting a game of pool

Sightseeing

Take some time to walk through the Venice Canals. Reminiscent of the Venice, Italy Canals but in CA. Very cool architecture and overall aesthetic.
