At the Waterfront on Venice Beach, indulge in a menu of Swiss and American bites with a fun beach vibe, all while sipping cocktails and enjoying the sunset.
"The Waterfront excels in two areas: margaritas (specifically a tart calamansi version) and outdoor seating. This beach bar sits about 200 feet from the coastline and there's plenty of space for big groups, so keep it in mind the next time you want to watch the sunset with friends from the comfort of a cabana chair. The post-work crowd typically has more tech bros than a hip-hop yoga class, but this is Venice—they come with the territory. Buy One, Get One Free Cocktails" - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park
"It’s an all-day beach party at the Waterfront in Venice where a DJ spins a millennial-coded playlist while diners and imbibers bop their heads accordingly. The skillet cornbread made with Anson Mills corneal, studded with Fresno chiles, and dolloped with honey butter is an absolute must to start. For those feeling like something sweet, the French toast with berries is a well-prepared classic. Savory seekers ought to get at least one of the tacos served on handmade tortillas — the brisket is superb — along with the blackened hamachi collar. Everything pairs well with the slate of fun cocktails that can be served by the pitcher if the mood calls for it." - Eater Staff
"A sprawling indoor-outdoor restaurant that opened in 2018. The approachable all-day menu is infused with Tex-Mex touches, featuring handmade corn tortillas, blackened fish tacos, and wagyu double-decker cheeseburgers with pimiento cheese. The venue maintains a beachy vibe with simple, straightforward food rooted in Southern and Texas influences." - Cathy Chaplin
"There are both bottomless dishes and drinks every weekend at this Venice boardwalk spot. The all-you-can-eat option is priced at $40, and the all-you-can-drink option is $30." - Virali_Dave
"The sprawling beachfront compound has plenty of patio space for dining and drinking - go ahead and order their Frozé, with watermelon, coconut water, lime, lavender, and Lillet - plus several large-size picnic meals that can be ordered in-house or taken to-go. Stop in, or make a reservation online." - brett keating, james montgomery
