The Waterfront

This beer garden and restaurant sits directly on the Venice boardwalk at Ocean Front Walk, open since the mid-1990s and renovated with a rebuilt patio and decorative surfboards. The menu blends American standards with Mexican touches: quesadillas, fish tacos, burgers and all-day burritos, alongside cocktails, beer, wine and coffee. Seating spans an indoor room and an outdoor patio with boardwalk and ocean views. Happy hour runs weekdays from 3 to 7pm and weekends from 7 to 8pm.
