THE WATERFRONT

VENICE, CALIFORNIA

The redevelopment of this long-standing oceanfront watering hole has been redesigned with five distinct areas: an open-air beach bar with surfboards clad in the ceiling rafters and seating along the boardwalk; a sprawling beer garden with ocean views and game area featuring ping pong and shuffleboard; an elevated back lounge with mid-century sofas and a 25-foot zinc bar, a 60-seat back patio with bamboo trellis and climbing honeysuckle, and a beachside taqueria inspired by surf trips to Baja.
