    The perfect spot to go on the beach for happy hour! The views are stunning and the appetizers they offer were very good. I got these little rice fish bites that were delicious and spicy. Only downside is our party couldn't be seated on the rooftop because it's only 21+.

    I waltzed into the Venice Whaler at 11:21pm on a Thursday, a fresh Zyn packed, as my big homie was DJing at midnight. This spot is about as Venice as Venice gets. The faint smell of the ocean mixed with the devils lettuce wafting in from outside, a grungy interior, mostly locals, and a mural on the wall that reads "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine." The heart and soul of Venice. After chopping it up with my big homie and his big homie (my grand big homie) for a sec, I went to get a Pacifico. I felt like someone kicked me straight in the huevos when it rang up for $10. DAMN. I'm I in Venice or NYC!? $10 for a beer is pain. I then proceeded to watch the big homie, who was draped in a black tshirt that read "THEY NOT LIKE US, LOS ANGELES, CA," rock the Whaler. Idk if the Whaler has ever seen a performance like that. His crowd awareness, transitions, beatmatching, and ability to play the right song at the exact right time were oddly reminiscent of a prime John Summit. One girl even leaned over to me and said "I saw you talking to him before he is set. He is really good and so handsome! How do you know him?" I just responded with, "that's my big homie!"

    Came here in a Wednesday evening and I was pleased to see that they had a weds special for burgers at $10 and draft beers discounted! The staff were nice and welcoming! Surprisingly the food came out quicker than expected. The burgers were better than I expected and a fairly large portion! The pizza was delicious as well, definitely worth grabbing a bite!

    Very nice service and excellent specials! The drinks were tasty as were the bar bites. Made to order quickly, much better than expected. Prices and portions are fair. The location is stellar, ideal before or after going to the beach, worth checking out if you were looking for a fun and affordable drink or bite in the area!
