Big Dean's Oceanfront Cafe, a quintessential beach bar right off the Santa Monica Pier is the best place to be for year round sunshine and beachside fun with a side of fish and chips.

Bar

Venice's On The Waterfront Café has amazing beachside views that will go perfectly with a little beer and sunshine this weekend.

Irish pub

Even if you're not that into The Big Game, Joxer Daly's sporty Irish Pub will have you cheering- if not for your team, then at least for the awesome plate of nachos in front of you.

English pub

Casual and convivial, this traditional British pub includes an outdoor patio, bakery, and a gift shop selling English treats. It’s actually two bars in one – a big main bar and a smaller, more intimate "Bulldog Bar."

Lounge

With lovely and unique interior designing to surround your night of drinking and lounging, Bungalow will make you want to move in and never leave.

Sports bar

Find a little bit of everything at this multi-room sports lounge: ping pong, darts, pool, bingo, dancing and of course - several huge flat-screen TVs. It's a top-ranked sports bar with elevated pub cuisine and weekend brunch specials.

Bar

Culver City's retro City Tavern is just classy and old school enough to make you feel like this could have also been Thomas Jefferson's favorite pub to stumble into for a cold brew.

If you are feeling nostalgic for the bygone era of the 1930's, you don't have to buy a time machine, you just have to mosey on down to Oldfield's in Culver City.

Bigfoot West's cool log cabin lounge is the go to place for locals on the Westside to grab a hand crafted drink and pretend they are stranded on a snowy (super hip) mountaintop somewhere.

Lounge

This weekend is the perfect time to get high- high above Venice at the chill yet swanky High Rooftop Lounge atop the Hotel Erwin.
