The Waterfront Venice

The Venice boardwalk at Ocean Front Walk holds a beer garden and restaurant called The Waterfront, serving Baja fish tacos, loaded tater tots and a Venice Bowl of haricot vert, rice, avocado and roasted cauliflower. The bar pours cocktails, beer, wine and coffee, and the room hosts Trivia Thursdays alongside day parties and live music. A neighborhood fixture since the mid-1990s, it has been renovated since, adding a patio and rows of decorative surfboards on the walls.
