"With more than 70 years of history along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, this proud dive has stayed true to its spirit even as the rents in the neighborhood around it have skyrocketed. Here, drinkers can find a twist on the Old Fashioned made with nine-year-old Private Barrel selection of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, a Luxardo cherry soaked in maple syrup, and an orange twist. Grab one during happy hour for a more relaxed vibe, or arrive later into the evening when the party kicks off. (it still attracts big crowds on the weekends.) If it gets too loud inside, the patio here features plenty of people-watching without amplifying the acoustics." - Vox Creative
