"Some people like to slowly ease their way into a hot tub, while others prefer to rip the band-aid off and plunge right in. If you fall into the latter category, Golden Bull is your spot. This Santa Monica American spot has transformed its side parking lot into one of the more impressive outdoor dining spaces in town and the locals have responded. Plain and simple, this place is happening. Come any night of the week and you’ll find everything from first dates to family meals to groups of friends looking for a post-beach Happy Hour hangout. It’s definitely a scene, but one that’s still fun, safe, and perfect for getting back into your social groove." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong
