"Santa Monica Canyon’s Golden Bull is an iconic spot that’s been around (almost) since Will Rogers himself lived nearby. Say that with enough confidence, and it’s likely your date is going to be impressed. This beach-adjacent 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. But considering you spent the last six months watching movies together on a laptop screen, you’re ready for some action. Plus, if things go well, you can always cross the tunnel to the sand afterward for a romantic night stroll." - brant cox
