Venues & Event Spaces in Santa Monica, CA

“I use to love this place for fish . But now it's too crowded..! Harder to get a bite the fish are so pressured.. . But still coll for tourist especially if you have never been to the beach.”

“The pool complex does not open until Memorial Day weekwnd, May 25th. Open daily June 26-Sept 2. A classic pool. Huge. Lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas. Very good changing rooms with devices to spin your wet cloths dry. There is NO depth less than abt 3 feet. Non-swimmers must be accompanied by adult. They have lots of swim vests.”

“Cool little spot. Recommend stopping by. If you're just looking around it should take you about 30 mins to see everything. But you could sure stay for a whole day in there if you're really into aviation. It's not a huge spot but for only $10 entry fee it's worth it. Lots of cool models, replicas, and displays of real aircrafts. There is a small theater inside that plays movies about/involving planes. Kid friendly (they were playing Disney's Planes movie in the theater when I looked inside). Gift shop is a little underwhelming for adults, it's mostly just the equivalent of Hot Wheels for planes. I'd want to see nicer and bigger models for sale, but I understand they probably don't have the budget for that. They do have some cool jackets. It wasn't crowded at all when we went, just a couple other families. Bathrooms were okay. They have a water fountain too. Staff were okay. They weren't rude but not the most friendly either. They did their job and that's all I care about.
Overall a good experience. For most people it's probably a one and done thing. Will definitely bring my friends and future kids to visit.”

“Been in LA for almost six years and I've been to way too many barbershops from dowtown to weho to the westside. Olympia Club is the best barbershop I've found. The staff is awesome and I'm pretty sure everyone's cut my hair at one point. The owner Frankie is born and raised in Santa Monica and such a gem of a person overall. Can't recommend this spot enough”

“Casa del Mar is absolutely gorgeous, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The service was incredible and the food was delicious.
A special shoutout to Brian at check-in. I had accidentally booked the wrong date, and he went completely out of his way to accommodate me. That kind of service is rare and very much appreciated.
Highly recommend!!”

“I was invited to small gathering of about two hundred. The function hall is clean with a well stocked bar and stage for the entertainment. The folks at this Elks were pleasant and professionally accommodating to allnour needs. Parking in the lit or free street parking close by.”

“We visited on August 13th and enjoyed lunch at Coast and a bike ride from the hotel.
We have been traveling to Los Angeles from Japan for three consecutive years, and we have visited Coast and enjoyed the cycling experience every time. The atmosphere on Coast’s terrace is wonderful, and the lobster roll is absolutely delicious. We are always grateful for how friendly and welcoming the staff are, even though we are visitors from overseas.

Cycling along the beach and through the Venice Canals is always a fantastic experience. This time, we noticed that one of the bicycles was the same one our child had ridden when we first visited two years ago. We shared this nostalgic story with the staff at the reception.

After finishing another wonderful bike ride and returning the bicycles, we received such a warm and thoughtful gesture from the staff. They kindly told us, “You are our guest,” and made us feel truly welcome, even as visitors. It became one of the most heartwarming memories of our trip.

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. We hope to stay at Shutters on the Beach next time!”
