Food: Dreary taste and freshness
The 'outstanding' burgers at Venice Beach Bar sound promising but reviews paint a disheartening picture. Descriptions of overcooked, bland, and funky tasting meat undermine even the idea of joy from their touted 'cold beers'. The taco platter and fries merit no excitement; their variety and flavor apparently held hostage by underwhelming and questionable freshness.
Great Value
Full bar with good selections at reasonable prices mentioned positively
Okay Taste
Mixed opinions on food quality; some find it decent, others disappointing.
Not Creative
Menu simplicity hints at lack of innovation.

Burger and a Beer
Burgers are outstanding and beers are cold, with a friendly atmosphere.
Vibe: Lackluster vibe and ambiance
The ambiance mirrors the low mood inspired by the food with more of a dive bar atmosphere than a beach bar setting. The usually appealing lure of live music is drowned by overwhelming volumes, morphing potential enjoyment into a test of decibel tolerance. Similar to the awning marring the outdoor experience, enjoyment is obscured by blunt execution.
Great Views
Ocean and beach views enhance dining experience, frequently praised.
Bad Ambiance
Feels like a low ambiance sports or dive bar, less appealing.
Perks: Irritating noise and parking
Parking is a feat at Venice Beach Bar, weighing down the dining experience before it even begins. The inaudible noise levels wrench away the joy of conversation and the outdoor dining experience, once sun-lit, is marred by added awnings. The service veers south with narratives of inattentive and rude staff coupled with long waits.
Great For Pets
Welcomes pets warmly with great accommodations on the boardwalk
Bad Service
Service negatively impacted by inattentive, rude staff and long waits.
