Beachy Venice Hangout Canal Club Closes After 20 Years - Eater LA

"Venice’s longstanding Canal Club is closing this weekend, bringing an end to one of that neighborhood’s more prominent local hangouts. The sister restaurant to also-popular James Beach had been in operation for 20 years, though it did have some down time in 2017 due to a kitchen fire. Ownership posted a long goodbye notice on Facebook several days ago, saying their time running the restaurant “was a Venice blast.” The final day of service could come as soon as this weekend, according to at least one source, though the Facebook post says that ownership will continue to celebrate on Fridays and Saturdays only through the end of the month." - Farley Elliott
