Prime rib, burgers, chops, and cocktails served in a retro
"Everyone asks the same question upon entering this Santa Monica establishment, “How long has this place been here?” Since 1949, the Golden Bull has served stellar chops in an old-school dining room with serious Mad Men TV show vibes, stiff cocktails, and friendly service. Given the interrupted service due to the Palisades fire, the menu is currently much smaller than its usual but still have burgers, salads, a few steaks, and accompanying sides. Hours are also limited to Wednesday to Saturday service, though happy hour starts at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays." - Mona Holmes
"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
"This legendary steakhouse off PCH has been a Santa Monica institution for the better half of the last seven decades - and now, you can reserve their outdoor patio, bar, or full-on restaurant for all your prime rib and yorkshire pudding needs." - sylvio martins
"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
"Santa Monica Canyon’s Golden Bull is an iconic spot that’s been around (almost) since the real Will Rogers lived next door. They’ve got steakhouse classics like crab cakes, French onion soup, and a burger, along with, of course, a bunch of different steaks." - brett keating
