Don't really see the buzz of this place. Long line on weekends, not so sure it's worth it. However, there is an amazing Philly cheesesteak truck late night. I'm a Philly native and I approve. Get one.

Pool table, dance floor, after a few drink here you'll feel like the boxer over the door. Use that energy for dancing!

Nice bartenders, great cocktails, sort of so-hip-it's-cold ambiance.

Fun bar. Men’s room has a trough but also no lock on the stalls. People did so much cocaine that now you can’t poop in peace? Sheesh!

Solid beer list, great spot on any night. One of my favorites on the street and in the area.

When it's Bloody Mary time, come here. When it's pool time, come here. When the Chiefs are undefeated, come here.

Seems kind of Down To Earth for Venice but then when you don't pay enough attention to the beer list or something they seem pretty annoyed with you. But it's cool!

Not sure if the bar has food, but the food truck next to it is amazing and you can bring it inside.
Jason FefferApril 27, 2013
If you're there during the day and hungover, get the Bloody Mary.

Have a beer and enjoy some normal people who aren't trying to be cooler than everyone else

Great spot on abbot Kinney. Not too many douches which is rare on this street.
Sarah SuSeptember 20, 2014
You can bring food into the bar from the nearby trucks.
