This place is at a great location with its own parking lot, a plus for Santa Monica. Its being renovated but the parking lot is set up beautifully for drinks and socializing. The staff is attentive and drinks great! Love the outside mural!

Speak easy on the parking lot! That’s crazy

It's the first time a friend and I have been out since the pandemic, and we had a ball. We met some fellow Santa Monicans, in this friendly pub, and the food was excellent. We got sliders and fries. The fries were do good, we got seconds.

This place is excelling post-Covid (or intra-Covid). Prior it was an old school dive with smelly carpet (sorry!) and the anticipated local patrons/fare, but they've since converted the parking lot into a vibrant, welcoming, and spacious outdoor patio that I hope lasts well beyond the pandemic. Like most places during Covid, you need to order food with your drink (understandably) and I'll say the hot dog and BLT were delicious. Standard bar fare but quite good and on par with nearby competition. I also live across the street and couldn't be happier that the local spot made walking even more appealing. Highly recommend.

They are open!!! Not closed as Yelp says, and with an AMAZING outdoor space! Food is fantastic, drinks are great, and ambiance is adorable. Come support local! My new favorite local spot

I haven't been this bar in a while but was excited to hear that the establishment would be reopening. Unfortunately, the bar's reopening was lackluster and disappointing. The drinks were remarkably weaker than I remembered--still the same price though--and much of the food in the menu was unable to be made due to an understocked inventory of ingredients. The management has the bartenders waiting on tables now; this shouldn't be happening, the bartenders should be making the drinks. Also, the service and waiting was very disorganized which resulted in very long wait times for orders. I shouldn't have to wait 15-20 minutes after ordering to receive a gin and tonic. Hopefully this is just a blunder of a reopening and not the new business model, if not then I'm unsure if the bar will survive much longer past it's reopening.

I've been here twice and have had two different nights. One night it was dead and another night it was packed. Both times had amazing drinks and great service. The drinks are reasonable and tasty. The staff is friendly and speedy. Would definitely go again.

If you want a slice of the Island, come here for drinks only (how do they pay their rent?). But the mai tai's and pineapple floaters are thinking's of another land. Bring your hula and get your brain freeze on.

I have been here twice, I totally love it because the environment and the people are really nice, and the drinks omg was sooo good. Three of cocktails are strawberry surprise, my lillet, and the kitty killer. Those are the best drinks I ever have. Also it's really nice for dating and hanging out with friends.

Very authentic bar. It has a personality you'll enjoy, strong drinks for a great price. Definitely will be back again.

The bartender was unsatisfied with our tips. The few times we went there we did the typical $1/drink, and one of the times I felt a little generous and gave a $10, but she gave us a bit of a hard time about "never" tipping well enough. She remembered that we had been there before but, conveniently, not the tips we gave. I haven't been back there, and I am never going back.
