Beechwood, 822 Washington Blvd. (corner of Washington and Abbot Kinney), ☎ +1-310-448-8884 (fax: +1-310-448-8889), . Both a bar and an upscale restaurant, Beechwood provides an elegant environment for hanging out and grabbing a few drinks. The crowd is varied, ranging in age from late-20's on up. Drinks are good although somewhat pricey, with several excellent microbrews on tap. There is both an indoor and outdoor lounge area, with heavy bass pumped through the speakers although not so much as to drown out conversation. �
The Otheroom, 1201 Abbot Kinney Blvd, ☎ (310) 396-6230. 5PM - 2AM. Wine and beer bar with a large selection of beers on tap and by the bottle. The bar manages to be both casual and hip, with the crowd tending towards well-to-do 20 and 30 somethings. Dark, but not too dark with a good selection of modern alternative music in the background (at times a tad too loud). Lots of seating area, but the spots by the windows are prized. Bar has menu's for local delivery options and pretty waitresses. Earlier on warm evenings, the windows are opened giving a very open, breezy feel to the place. �
Townhouse, 52 Winward Avenue (located in the Venice Circle), ☎ (310)392-4040. A dive bar through and through. Though under new ownership, much of the old tradition, decor, and dankness remains. This is a good thing. This is the oldest continuously running bar west of the Mississippi (it was a speakeasy during prohibition) and though never really a scene, it is nice place to stop off for a drink on a low-key night. �
Baja Cantina, 311 Washington Blvd. (end of Washington, east of the Pier), ☎ 310-821-2252. Tropical mexican food with a great assortment of margaritas and other tropical drinks. Late night menu and drinks. �
Cabo Cantina, 30 Washington Blvd. ((end of Washington, east of the Pier)), ☎ 310-305-4010. Small but fun place; great assortment of tropical drinks, bar appetizers and during the summer months check by often to see their drink and meal specials. Indoor and outdoor seating. �
Elvino, 1142 Abbot Kinney Blvd., ☎ 310-396-9705, . Enjoy bread and olive oil along with a flight of three wines during the weekend hours of 5-9PM on Friday, 1-9PM on Saturday and 1-8PM on Sunday. Otherwise, browse through some great boutique wines. Cheers! �
