Parking

On the weekends, it's impossible to find street parking so rely on the more expensive, but necessary, lots.

Where to Sit

If outdoor seating is full, the bar inside is great for a game of pool or just to hang out.

The Scene Since 1976, beachgoers, skaters, tourists and locals have clamored for outdoor tables under the big red awning overlooking the bustling boardwalk. Bikini-clad hotties, roller-skating guitar players and dreadlocked performance artists make for a compelling floor show during dinner hours. Servers are laidback, but available and friendly.

if you're visiting from out of town or if you're entertaining guests from out of town, i can't think of a better place to have a few drinks and take in the Venice scene than sidewalk cafe. The patio is right on the boardwalk so you can order some bloody marys and watch all the characters stroll by. sometimes the street performers will do their comedy skits or play music right in front of the... more
