From the food to the live music to the ambience and service, you can’t go wrong here!!! This place has amazing food. We’ve ordered the mac-cheese w/bacon, fried pickles, cauliflower wings, pepperoni pizza w/hot honey, parmesan garlic fries and the fish tacos. Hands down all were AMAZING.!!!! Can’t wait to try one of their burgers next. Also the drinks are great too, the bartender Lex is a great dude and makes awesome drinks. He made our first experience a night to remember and was part of us returning. I highly recommend Venice West!!!

The price to see a concert is good, the dinner menu is priced affordable and the waiter service is excellent. My server check on us to see if we need anything else regularly. There is no parking except on the streets, so get there before a little before 6:00 pm to find some close street parking space !

This is a live music venue. The entrees are great, the salads also great, and the pizza is not. I like the practice of reserving a table, because there is no other seating available.

Great locals venue. If you're from out of the area of Santa Monica, Venice, MDR, West LA, Culver City, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades, you'll have a rude time.
