"Shore Bar, Pacific Palisades. This appropriately named bar is located just across Pacific Coast Highway from the shore and it sports a nautical theme, boat hull facade to boot. It's a bit of a hidden gem, run by Hollywood nightlife impresario John Terzian with craft cocktails developed by Vincenzo Marianella but tucked away in a location that prevents it from ever becoming too much of a scene. It is also one of the few places to get a decent drink in the Palisades, given that the only liquor license in the Palisades proper is at a mediocre pan-Asian restaurant. While Shore Bar now primarily serves the upscale crowd of NoMo Santa Monica, it has a rich history as one of the oldest gay bars in Los Angeles. Once called the SS Friendship and frequented by gay beachgoers across PCH at Will Rogers Beach, the bar was fictionalized in Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man as the "Starboard Side" bar (and used as a location in the recent film). Try "The Members Only" cocktail, and try out the photo booth on the back patio."
