Cocktails & Hawaiian grub in a relaxed tropical-style space
"A day or night at Belles Beach House feels like a tropical-themed party in Venice, with a DJ spinning house records, palm trees by every table, and a giant tiki statue up front. Non-Alcoholic Options: You’re likely going to Belles to drink something brightly colored in a tiki glass. Good news–they have eight non-alcoholic spritzes that let you do just that." - cathy park
"Belles Beach House is technically a restaurant that serves good tiki-adjacent cocktails, but it’s the experience of drinking here that earns it a place on this list. At Belles, we suggest leaning into the unsubtle tropical beach theme and ordering a mai tai, piña colada, or any drink poured into a tall decorative mug. That’s why you’re here. Besides feeling like you time traveled to 1970s Waikiki, this boardwalk bar offers other campy amenities such as punch bowl drinks, tequila-spiked slushies served in coconut shells, and a DJ playing tropical house music as you completely lose sense of which continent you are on." - sylvio martins
"The beach seems to come right to diners and drinkers at Belles Beach House, the Tulum-meets-Tiki newcomer on Windward where the coolest of the westside set hang out these days. Part bar, part restaurant, this is the place to smell the salty ocean and maybe see someone famous as you dine on pan-Asian dishes with Polynesian influences. Try the epic teriyaki cheeseburger with a draft yuzu spritz cocktail." - Eater Staff
"Those wishing they spent the holidays in Hawaii might feel most comfortable at this Venice playhouse just a few steps from the ocean (don’t worry, there’s plenty of heating inside). From 10 p.m. to late, a DJ will play curated tunes while punch bowls and cocktails spill forth from the Tiki-decorated bar. Cover charge is a modest $24 with a midnight champagne toast, while bottle service table options are also available." - Eater Staff
