"The Bungalow is fun and young. I go there and I feel alive. They have the best bar and the best bartenders. It's one of the most fun bars in LA. It's super retro in style and it's indoor-outdoor, so you can see the beach. If a tourist came to LA and went to The Bungalow, they would be like, 'Yeah, this is exactly what I imagined.' You get the beach, you get the surfers, you get the trendy people. If you're drinking, you have to order their Bungalow Margarita. Their mixologists and bartenders, they've been there for years. This is their profession. I love bartenders who take the art of drink-making very seriously." - brennan carley
"Sure, there’s a massive beachside patio at The Bungalow that’s usually not too hot. But the real party is in the walk-in refrigerator, where you won’t have to hang out with anybody who voluntarily chooses to go to The Bungalow." - brett keating
"You completely forgot it was your long-distance boyfriend’s birthday yesterday, and he just called to tell you this isn’t working. Head to Bungalow, the sprawling bar/house/Greek system social in Santa Monica where you can get all the validation you need from a crowd that’s young, hot, and ready to get a little wild on a Saturday afternoon. Drinks aren’t cheap here, but the ocean is directly across the street and a cute guy from LinkedIn is looking at you, so things could be worse." - brant cox
"This Baja surf-style lounge located at the Fairmont Miramar is set on a brick garden patio, furnished with comfy sofas and casual chairs. Lanterns sway in the trees and ocean breezes encourage snuggling around fire pits. Specialty cocktails, sangria, beer, wine, and bottle specialties are served with tasty dishes by Fig, the hotel's acclaimed restaurant." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"You'll receive a reservation for four at The Bungalow, Fairmont's cushy beachside lounge."
