"This historic bar on Santa Monica Blvd (it originally opened in 1939) has gone through several iterations over the years, but the current one has reestablished itself as the kind of place you can head to last minute with a coworker or a few friends. Plus, you can always count on there being an extra table waiting for you on their rooftop patio. All their tiki cocktails are excellent, but we love the green tea martini which comes with Jameson, peach juice, aquafaba, and matcha." - brant cox
