Best & Cool Bars in Venice Beach

"République boasts a delicious variety of breads, but it’s mostly known for its multigrain bread that satisfies the taste of any health aficionado who’s looking for a little carb fix. Set in the original home of LaBrea Bakery, République seems to have inherited the 20 year of tradition for making amazing breads, and everything coming out of their oven is so overwhelmingly good. République, 624 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, USA + 1 310 362 6115"

"The space is famously known because it was built by Charlie Chaplin and Roy Sheldon Price in the 20s!. Start off with the house-baked bread with drippings, then the steak frites or classic tournedos rossini with foie gras and truffles. Don’t miss out on their weekend brunch menu, as well as their oyster and charcuterie selections!"

"Before Wolfgang Puck was on TV, opening airport restaurants around the world, or teaching online cooking classes, he was pioneering the brand of casual elegance at Spago that now describes much of Los Angeles. When the restaurant opened in 1982, Puck was one of a handful of chefs pioneering “California cuisine,” making use of the state’s bountiful produce in combination with Asian and European techniques. The results are legendary, such as the famed smoked salmon pizza with crème fraîche, salmon roe, and red onion."

"Reservations required weeks in advance unless your name is Leonardo Di Caprio or similar, at Spago you can eat a very good Italian inspired meal. It’s a cool place the one where people go if they want to be seen so sneakers do not go well. Put it in your list for a real treat when in LA!"

"American , Fusion"

"Set on the beachfront overlooking the ocean, Nobu Los Malibu is a global restaurant founded by world-renowned chef, Nobu Matsuhisa, that serves outstanding Japanese fusion cuisine and handcrafted libations. Embodying the clientele that walks through its doors, Nobu Malibu is sleek, stylish and sophisticated with a stunning palette of textures and colors that create a mesmerizing backdrop for LA's glitterati who come to savor exceptional Peruvian-accented Japanese fare. Signatures dishes and plates include Nobu’s famous miso-marinated black cod, monkfish pate with caviar and lobster ceviche, Kaba ribeye steak, Wagyu gyoza, and an array of mouthwateringly fresh sushi and sashimi."

"With stunning views of the ocean and excellent service, Nobu Malibu has carved its niche as one of Malibu’s best restaurants. The restaurant offers all its diners ocean views, framed by their floor to ceiling windows. Those who want a totally immersive experience can have their meals on the outdoor patio or relax in the exterior lounge."

"This chain of restaurants is well-known in Hawaii, but the lone Malibu branch has been adopted by locals as their own watering hole. Make your way straight to the Barefoot Bar and order a vacation-style cocktail (think fruity, sweet and coconutty) or a glass of wine sourced from local vineyards while taking in those ocean views. The Polynesian theme of this hangout really comes to life on Aloha Fridays, when traditional Tahitian dancers perform and Mai Tais are $8 all night long."

"Named after the legendary Hawaiian waterman, Duke Kahanamoku, Duke’s is one of the fun places in Malibu for drinks with a view and a great meal. Right on the water, the eatery has a Hawaiian inspired menu that features seafood favorites and their famous Mai Tai cocktail. Save room for the Hula Pie!"

Savor amazing flavors in dishes like the Honey Biscuit Breakfast, Open Face Meatball Sandwich, or Angnello (a ciabatta- and herb-crusted lamb rack). Culina also offers handcrafted cocktails, craft beers, and an impressive wine list."

"French toast is always good, French toast covered in frosted flakes is on another level. The café offers other delectable breakfast staples with a twist like their raspberry Nutella French toast. It wouldn’t be a California café without avocados and Ned’s Benedict place them front and center smothered in hollandaise sauce."

"If you’re going to name a restaurant EAT, it had better live up to its name, and this Noho Arts District eatery surely does. The small space conjures a cross between a New York diner and S.F. "boho" with friendly service, counter seating, and indoor/outdoor tables."

"A post shared by Marcus Gregory (@rd_marcusgregory) on Dec 8, 2019 at 3:04pm PST.

Featuring a plethora of brands such as Converse, Gap, Nike, H&M, and more, you will find amazing discounts on everything from houseware to clothing."

"The Pike Outlets is a mix of retail and outlet stores, a Cinemark Theatre, and several restaurants. Take a ride on the Ferris Wheel and enjoy views of the Long Beach Harbor and skyline. There is also a classic wood carousel built-in 1920 adjacent to the Ferris Wheel."

"Chicago has Skydeck, NYC has Top of the Rock, and LA has Skyspace…which isn’t quite the same, but it’s still the highest observation deck in California, and one of the most Instagrammable places in LA. Perched on 1000 feet above the city on the 70th floor of the US Bank building, Skyspace LA offers 360 degrees of downtown LA, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the Pacific Ocean – on a clear day you can see out over 34 miles. It is also one of the most Instagrammable places in LA during sunset – you can’t beat that golden hour glow, and the twinkly city lights come up against the pink sky!"

"Soaring 69 floors above downtown LA, the OUE Skyspace is the perfect way to get a handle on the size and scope of the entire city. Gain all-day access to the most epic views along with interactive displays, informational movies about the city, and a bar with local beer and wine as well as snacks. The space also includes a glass slide that whips you down to a lower floor while helicopters buzz between the nearby skyscrapers."

"Bank Tower is the second-tallest in Los Angeles, and the fifteenth tallest in the United States. When the real estate company OUE took over the tower in 2013 it went to work on an observation deck. OUE Skyspace opened in 2016 on the 69th and 70th floors, with a restaurant above on the 71st."
