James' Beach

New American restaurant · Venice

"Venice’s James Beach closed on September 18, marking an end-of-run for the 26-year-old restaurant. James Beach had long served the Venice community as a reliable place to dine or drink, but also a safe Westside space for the queer community." - Mona Holmes
