"The Misfit is another restaurant that often gets used as a bar, and even though it's located a little too close to the Third Street Promenade, we grin and bear it. The crowd is full of locals, the pitchers of white sangria come extra cold, and the food is solid, like the massive fried chicken sandwich with creamy fennel slaw and a quinoa-kale salad that’s great for sharing. Also, there are free cookies and a Happy Hour from noon to 7pm daily." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Turns out there is a limit to how many children on leashes you can handle in one day, and you hit it within five minutes of being at The Promenade. Time to go take the edge off at The Misfit. The American gastropub is a time-tested standby with good bar food, a low-key space mostly devoid of tourists, and one of the best Happy Hours in the area. Running daily until 7pm, all cocktails, spirits, and glasses are half-off—an ideal excuse to stop in for a quick drink and mentally skewer other people’s parenting skills." - brant cox
"The restaurateur who closed the two Del Mar Train Station concepts continues to operate another Santa Monica restaurant and remains active in the local dining scene as he plans further projects." - Matthew Kang
"The Misfit is located uncomfortably close to the 3rd St. Promenade tourist hellzone, but when it comes to this laid-back restaurant, we grin and bear it. The food is solid, the crowd is mostly locals, and the cocktails are the best in downtown Santa Monica. Also, there are free cookies. Happy Hour: Every day until 7pm. half off cocktails, spirits and wine." - brant cox
"One of the best places to eat on the Third Street Promenade, The Misfit is open daily for lunch, Happy Hour, and dinner. They’ve got burgers, sandwiches, salads, and stellar cocktails. Happy Hour until 6pm daily." - brett keating
