Venice Beach Club

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my absolute favorite spots on Venice Beach! The vibe here is unreal — chill, vibrant, full of good energy. On weekends the DJ makes it even better. The view, the sunset, the atmosphere — everything just hits perfectly. And let me tell you — the Honey pizza is next level. I’ve literally come here four times just for that! 🍕 Abdi, the owner, is the coolest guy — truly made this place special. I’ve been coming here since it used to be Ale House, and the way he transformed it… wow. Just pure magic. I’ve met amazing people here, hung out with my girlfriends, and even came solo — it’s always fun, always welcoming. Great food, great service, great vibes. It even ended up being my last night in LA before a trip, and honestly — couldn’t have asked for a better send-off. Thank you, Abdi, for creating a place that feels like home by the ocean. 🌊💛

2nd best Cesar salad I’ve had. It was perfectly dressed and the cheese wasn’t overpowering. Sweet hibiscus tea and the young coconut were very refreshing. Only thing I didn’t like was how close the tables were to each other.

I was traveling from out of state and these folks made us feel right at home with exceptional service and even better food! Not pictured is the ceviche, but it is AMAZING. Highly recommend the oysters, blue fin crudo, and the steak frites complimented with orange chimichurri. Highly recommend. The owner is such a nice guy. Will definitely be back!

Dont order pizza from here. Please save yourself time money, time and energy. Paid $22 for a 12-inch margherita pizza. Ive veebn to a hundred different pizza places but Never been so disappointed in pizza my entire life. Also the taste is mediocre.

Friggin love this spot! The staff is so kind and down to earth, it felt like my friends were serving me at a backyard party. So beachside, I snag a dip in the ocean after my first drink and go straight back. • Burger with avocado is incredible, with patty from a local farm. • Fries are toasted properly, and taste healthy. • Drinks are good, bartenders are confident and knowledgeable. I used to come here when it was Venice Alehouse, and I think the new ownership and staff have really made this place what it always should have been. Great Venice, vibe, just a little nicer, like it belongs in Santa Monica. Good prices, favorite spot on the Venice boardwalk.

Great spot for a drink on the patio while watching the sunset. This place is at the end of the ocean front walk, so you can easily stop here for a drink and end here for a drink.

We only had a drink here but seriously - $16 US for basically four sips and a glass of ice. Not impressed at all! There are other places nearby worth a look.

amazing pizza, my friend and i ate in silence to focus on the food… smoking hot and bursts of flavour !! thank u james and the amazing crew :)

Stopped by on Tuesday, 08/12/25 for the first time! Celebrated my peer's 30th birthday at Venice Beach! I ordered the following: - 1 deep purple punch = $16 - 1 elote corn = $9 - 1 ceviche = $24 The prices here are quite expensive, but the food, drinks, and overall vibes were amazing! Before arriving here, I was trying to find this location on Yelp but wasn't able to, I spoke to the server about this; she told us that this place recently opened and used to be called 'Venice Ale House' which closed permanently. Near the beach and parking was $9.

Bad. Took 20 minutes for a brainless twit to come over and take our order. No "sorry," nothing. She looked at me as if she didn't know why I was there. My friend and I just looked at each other afterward thinking, we're doomed this is the next generation. She's was a mid 20's tanned brunette long hair. Ordered a margarita with no salt. It arrived with salt and was a radioactive orange color. Tasted overly sweet and just bad. It's L.A you're on a beach is it rocket science to make a decent margarita? Instead of waiting another 20 minutes, I went straight to the bar. I saw the bartender take a sip of my drink and then roll his eyes at a coworker. I suggest he take a stroll to The Whaler and see how a margarita is made. He says, "So you wanted a skinny margarita?" I said, "No, I just want a regular margarita with no salt that isn't super sweet." With attitude, he made me another mediocre margarita. I asked for the bill from our server, who says the tip is already included 25 percent. I said, "I'm not leaving this tip amount. We waited 20 minutes for a drink, and the order was wrong. I'm not paying you 25 percent." She says, "Oh, was there a problem with your drink?" Yeah if you had checked on us even once, you would have known that. I was a bartender/server for years after college. I know when things are out of someone's control, and I also know when they just simply suck. Would never come back here. They tried to improve the look from the old Venice Ale House, but you can put lipstick on a pig, and it's still a pig. Go next door to The Waterfront they can at least make a decent marg and won't scam you into paying 25 percent. For perspective, that's a $4 tip on one drink.

I will give it another try, however, my first attempt was disappointing. The description in the Angelino magazine was so off. I ordered the citrus salad with chicken. Although the chicken was seasoned well, the salad came in a bowl way too small to even think of tossing around to mix flavors. Dressing lacked. And the amount of flies hanging out were not only aggressive but power divers. Ambiance might want to suggest the riviera but that is a stretch. A far stretch. It's Venice California. Gritty and fabulous but don't expect a taste of the riviera. Aperol spritz was made ok, but pretty hard to screw that up. Service lacked as I had to flag down a different server for a second spritz and my bill. It's cute. SMALL. Riviera beach club it is not. It's on concrete and dirty concrete at that. I know I know, it's Venice. Part of the charm is the dirt. Whoever wrote the description for the angelino clearly has never been to the French Riviera. Better than some alternatives on the strand these days, but needs tightening up. And bigger salad bowls. I expected better, for a $77 lunch.

A pleasant surprise, and exactly what the boardwalk needed. Most places in the area are either fast food quality or upscale restaurants within hotels. Both target tourists, but neither is for locals wanting something easy and healthy on a beach day. Venice Beach Club delivers! We had a pasta and a pizza, both gluten free, and a generous portion of ceviche. Everything was tasty, simple enough our 3 year old could enjoy it, and healthy enough to be a spot we come to regularly. Only feedback is to add chips to their ceviche so it's more enjoyable to eat!

Great place to grab drinks and food on the boardwalk. Loved the cirtrus salad, pizza, and steak frits. Vibe was upbeat, fun, and a welcome contrast to some of the divey fixtures nearby. Excited to check out the rest of the menu. And there's relatively cheap parking in the lot directly across the boardwalk, so I didn't have to run back to a meter and miss the great sunset view.

This restaurant lack authenticity and zero Venice vibe. The worst part was a 20% tip already included to your bill so you have no say whether the server deserves a tip or not. I thought a tip was supposed to be optional. I don't mind paying 20% tip but the choice should be up to the costumer.
