This airy, art-filled space opened in 1987 in the heart of Venice's Abbot Kinney neighborhood. Any day of the week, any time of day, it's where locals congregate for a cold beer or a quick snack. The food ranges from a great burger and crisp fries to American kobe steak with apricot barbecue sauce to grilled salmon with blood-orange ponzu sauce. It's seasonal, colorful and eclectic, just like the crowd.
