17 Unique Bars In LA

"If you want a tiny glimpse at what Santa Monica was like before the Third Street Promenade became a tourist hurricane, Chez Jay is the place to go. The best dive bar on the Westside, this one-of-a-kind spot has been serving extremely stiff drinks and surprisingly good buttered lobster tail on Ocean Ave. since 1959. You get the sense that not much has changed here since then - the celebrity photos on the walls, the songs on the jukebox, and even the people at the bar." - brant cox, brett keating
