super amazing food. view was insane! drinks were very light and refreshing. They did mess up our bill which took about 20 minutes to fix - other than that food and view were great! read more

Kassi Venice Beach - Bars Near Me - Venice, California

See all

Forget about Kassi if you are a couple. Whereas the old High Bar accepted reservations (and very often walk-ins) for the charming sofas and love seats positioned all around the perimeter of the restaurant (by far the best feature of this place, featured in all the pictures), the new owners are now exclusively holding that seating for parties of four or more. Even though we made reservations a week in advance, and had an incredibly early reservation (6:00 PM), we were ushered to a wooden high-top table in back of the crowded bar, with essentially none of the view or charm that makes this place special. When we objected, we were told it was because the new owners will only permit parties of 4 or more to have the love seats with the ocean views. Right now Im sure thats a smart business decision, as the place is overrun with selfie-snapping party girls and tech bros checking out the new place while it's hot. But when it cools down a little? Well, we live 6 blocks away and we will never be back. Food isn't great (VERY salty as others have said) but is reasonably priced for a trendy spot like this. Servers and managers are friendly and apologetic for the clumsy rollout. Good luck, Kassi. If you need us, we'll be at the Huntley. read more

Imagine having one of the best views in LA, drinking delicious frizzante, and enjoying an explorative Greek menu that makes you say "dang" every time you put down your fork, surrounded by friends who all think you're the champion of the vibe universe because it was your idea to reserve a table at a place that has immediate beach access, good music, and an aesthetic that would make all of your Condé Nast subscribed friends sweat with envy that you of all people NAILED the evening. The sun is going down, as the energy goes up. The perfect send off to a perfect night in LA. Oh and the service just happens to be immaculate, go figure!! read more

Such an amazing space, hands down best view in Venice! The food and drinks are also amazing, my favorites are the beef tenderloin skewer and the velvet seafoam drink. I'm gluten free and was able to enjoy quite a few of the food items. I appreciate their team for guiding me through the menu! Can't wait to go back :) read more

Kassi Venice Beach - Bars Near Me - Venice, California

Okay this place is an actual DREAM! Came here with a group of friends to watch the sunset and had SUCH a great experience. Already planning to go back again next week. The views are the best in LA and the staff, food, drinks and vibe match it. I had an Aperol Spritz and the sparkling red (so good) and felt as though I was on vacation in Europe. The staff were so sweet, but also relaxed - which made us feel at ease. If you don't get every one of the dips in the mezze selection- you're missing out because oooof they were so good. Actually every dish we tried was so delish. Loved the spanakopita quesadilla so much that I ordered a second one. Such a vibe - will be back soon! read more

I stumbled upon Kassi Club after a beach day with some friends, and wow--what a vibe!! The atmosphere is effortlessly chic without trying too hard, and the 360 degree view is perfect for a breezy afternoon cocktail or two. We got lots of food to share and everything was delicious! My favorites were the whipped avocado dip, calamari, salmon skewer and beef skewer. I had the Sundial cocktail which was excellent and my friend had the sparkling Frizzante Red, which was also fabulous. Our server was super friendly and gave great recommendations without being pushy. I also appreciated how the music was upbeat but not too loud - we could actually hold a conversation. Perfect spot for a date night or just catching up with friends. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent service! It has a beautiful view of the coast. Very social & relaxing ambiance. The food was delicious!

Ayla was amazing! Food was delicious. The view unbeatable. Don't miss the zucchini fries and the whipped avocado. We will be back soon

Very beautiful rooftop with gorgeous views! We put our names on the waitlist and went to the bar. The hostess didn't give us an estimate wait time so we assumed it wouldn't be that long. We went to the bar and ordered drinks one of them featured a vanilla foam but when the drink came out there was no foam. My friend told the bartender he forgot the foam and he said they were actually out. Very strange that she wasn't told before that they were out or told right when he realized? But he was kind enough to not charge us for the drink. We waited about an hour then went up to the host stand to see how much longer and she said "u can sit at the bar now, the kitchen closes soon" and we were surprised as there were so many open tables. So we asked if we could have a table and she said "I'm not really sure I just know that I'm done" ?? So bizarre! would she never have called us off the waitlist and we would've been waiting well past the kitchens closure? So I asked if there was someone else that was taking over the host stand so we can get a table and she again said "I'm not too sure but I'm like done". And continued to pack up and clean the host stand. I understand wanting to go home after a long day but this was just rude. I asked one more time how we go about getting sat at a table and she sighed asked for my name and took us to the table. This all left a sour taste in our mouth but luckily our server Danny was wonderful! He was very nice and didn't make us feel rushed just one gentle reminder that the kitchen was closing soon. And the food was SO good! Would've been 5/5 if our interaction with the hostess wasn't so bizarre read more

I never leave reviews.... But I will never be coming back here. At least not until I know enough time has passed for change. We were seated but a waiter didn't come by our table for 20 minutes. I had to leave my table to flag someone down. It was freezing outside and no heat lamps worked. Once again, I had to hunt down blankets, and was only offered 2 for a party of 4. They forgot half of our dinner order. Our waitress was nowhere to be found. Food comes in TINY TINY portions. Zucchini fries were cut/shredded so small and covered in oily batter it was as if you were eating crumbs from the bottom of a bag. Ophelia drink was so mediocre. Also, the hummus doesn't come with any vessel to dip in it? You have to order your bread or whatever else separately. Found that odd. read more

Reservation or not expect to wait in line for quite a while and then pack into an elevator like sardines to even get to the restaurant. And no, the door staff are not polite. Place is busy on a Friday night but do not expect polite service read more

We were looking for a beautiful sunset view, and to get away from the bars, burgers, and dope smoke at street level. High up in the sky, Kassi looked good to us. Service was friendly and mostly attentive. Menu items are small plates, like tapas. Pricy, but that's the premium for the view and fresh air. Unfortunately, we found the food was too oily, and we won't return. Food details: Flat bread: Very much under done. Our server should have noticed because it lacked color (later, the table to ours received an appealing toasted color). After handling the bread, our hands were dripping with oil. Only a single, medium plate-sized bread is served, but we could not finish this. Crispy Saganaki: Interesting flavors, but it finished with an unpleasant bitter fried taste. Not crispy: more like a firm-ish crust. Also, very oily and heavy, and we could not finish it. Spanakopita Quesadilla: Not as oily as the other dishes, and I liked this one best. My wife thought "not as oily as the other dishes" was a low bar, and does not endorse this dish. Lamb meatballs: Delivered as 4 rough meatballs on a single skewer, all sitting in a large pool of oil. The predominant flavor was oil. Good crust, though. read more

Awful management. Service was great. Management is awful. We spent an insane amount of money and still had us leave due to a private party that they didn't notify us about until 15 min. without accommodating us at all to find a new table. Took our food away, did not care. read more

Kassi Club is an absolute vibeeeeee!! From the moment you walk in, you're transported straight into vacation mode somewhere in Greece. the energy is so fun and laid-back, but still feels elevated. The drinks were seriously incredible (highly recommend trying a few, I loved the sage one), and the food was just as impressive. And don't even get me started on the view... a stunning 180° ocean view, in my opinion best rooftop view in LA. The perfect spot for sunset cocktails or a night out with friends. Can't wait to come back! read more

The Vibes? Impeccable. The Feta? Life-changing. New favorite rooftop alert. Think warm breeze, glowing sunsets, and a playlist that makes you want to quit your job and vibe full time. The food is absurdly good--crispy spanakopita, juicy lamb skewers, and tzatziki so fresh I briefly considered drinking it. Drinks are strong, service is friendly, and somehow everyone here is hot? Will be back. Might never leave. Someone water my plants. read more

Amazing view , great service, and fantastic flat bread. The cocktails are on point. Overall a great experience read more

The experience is far better than the previous provider. Better food and more freedom to move around.

The food was amazing! The whipped avocado was OUT OF THIS WORLD. So good I ordered it twice. The lamb meatballs were scrumptious and juicy. The Ora king salmon was also very flavorful. Overall had a wonderful dining experience, our server was very courteous and pleasant. The view was beautiful too. So glad they squeezed us in! read more

Delicious food. Amazing service. Gorgeous view -- the most perfect spot for any occasion

Great views good cocktails, good snacking food with mediterranean bent, and good service. Parking in the area is always hard. But the sunset views from the roof is worth the trouble. Definitely will be back with friends for another sunset... dress warm.. they provide blankets. read more

Tough to get a sunset reservation even if you're a hotel guest but so worth it for so many reasons. Staff were welcoming and so accommodating! The food and drink were delicious and the view is just awesome! read more

came here for my bf's surprise birthday dinner and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience. i tried calling multiple times to make the reservation and no one ever answered so i emailed, was then told i could only book by phone which made things unnecessarily difficult. when we arrived, the host spoiled the surprise by announcing we had other guests waiting but didn't walk us to the table, so we wandered around until we found them. half the menu was unavailable -- including salmon, lobster, calamari, even the quesadilla... my bf (birthday boy) can't eat meat so those were the only options he could've had and he barely ate anything. i ordered a slushy drink, took one sip before it spilled (my fault) but since it was full and happened right in front of the waiter i asked if i could please get a new one. he said "we'll see what we can do" then told me they're out of slushies for the night. later he brought me a different drink "free of charge" as if i might have had to pay for the replacement drink that wasn't even what i originally ordered... we'd also dropped off a cake earlier and i was told over the phone it was a $4 fee, but when my friend brought it they said it was $20. when it finally came out (after we reminded the waiter, who didn't even know there was a cake) it wasn't cut or served with plates or utensils-- i had to get up and ask for them myself. then the busser removed the light from our table while we were still eating dessert... by 9:30 they had already lowered the music and were closing up even though they're listed as open until 10. overall, the service was mid, communication was poor, and for nearly a $400 bill it was absolutely not worth it. i was really looking forward to celebrating here but this was genuinely one of the most disappointing dining experiences in LA. read more

Great views, cute vibe. Kassi is a good spot to meet some friends for a bougie drink with a gorgeous ocean breeze! Food and drinks were fine but not totally outstanding, but for a comfy chic ocean side moment it's still a great option! read more

Don't waste your time or money! LOOK ELSE - WHERE ! Disappointing! Worse service. Hosted an event and left early due to terrible service . No attempt to try to compensate for ruined event. read more

I wasn't going to write a review because it's so bad but I have to let ownership know. A girl named Rio a hostess accosted us on Sunday Aug 24 I went for drinks and food with a few friends she asked us to vacate a table we were seated at for less than 1 hour. I cannot in good conscience justify spending 700 on some drinks and food for 3 people with this kind of service. Views are amazing and food was decent the other employees were nice but this person should not be working with people she clearly can't multi task and properly speak to people. read more

Worst customer service. My husband and I had reservation at 5:30, we arrived around 5:15 and they sat us. We had 8 drinks, 6 food items and desert and around 7:00 our waitress told us that we needed to wrap it up because the next people with reservation were waiting. We asked for the bill and as soon as we paid for it, at 7:12 another very rude host came to tell us we need to leave within a couple of minutes. We had not finished are desert or last drink yet. Why would they not have the courtesy to give us at least 2 hours from the time we made the reservation? There were people there by us who had been there longer than us. They claim to be a "Greek" place. They would never ever do that in Greece. I will never come back here, tourist trap with rude staff and mediocre food. It ruined our evening. read more

Everything was a hit. So accommodating and the flatbreads were unworldly. We ordered about 6 rounds of those. Have never seen such a nice view of Venice Beach read more

Horrible customer service. I tried to reserve a time slot for a birthday dinner. It was for a party of 8, so the online didnt allow me to book it due to a large group. It stated to call in instead. I did. Again, and again I called - for 3 days straight. I left a voice message twice. 4th day I called and finally somebody answered. He said they were booked already. He didn't seem to care that I was trying to make a reservation. He was rude and seem bothered that I called. When I told him I left a message twice and was never called back, he didn't seem to care about that either. He did state he had other time slots available, but nothing close to what I needed (all working women here). He had the 'oh well' attitude. When I questioned him why i never got a call back, he hung up on me. And, before anyone thinks, maybe I gave attitude. I did not. You can catch more flies with honey than vingegar. read more

Food was good, but the ambience was awful as the music was blasted throughout the rooftop, taking away from the fact that you are steps from the beach and there's a wonderful view. I don't understand the compulsion to blast music to the point where you must strain to talk to whoever you're with in fact, even the servers have a trouble hearing your order. I really wish that this obsession with loud music would go away as it takes away from the entire dining experience. It's for this reason alone I won't return, and I really wish they would consider lowering the music, especially during the early hours of the evening. read more

lol they need to iron out some kinks for sure. Unless you have a reservation you will not be ordering or eating food here FYI. the food portions are extremely small and everything came out cold. I understand it's an open aired restaurant but the food was cold. The drinks were pretty but didn't taste like alcohol. And I saw my server 3 times over the course of 2.5 hours lol very understaffed read more

We went on a midweek lunchtime with a reservation - the venue was only half full but we were offered one of the worst tables despite many tables open with views despite being the first for our reservation time to arrive. After being sat by management to a more suitable table we ordered. Drink menu consists of batched premixed cocktails served draft style by them (very cheap theme park quality) no fresh fruit juices used only syrup used. They were very watered down very disappointing. Food (remember these are small bite plates which we knew ahead of time this was not a concern) we ordered chicken, hummus, tomato salad, flat bread and quesadilla all were good except the quesadilla was too greasy. No sweets on the menu at all. No dessert which is short sighted in my opinion. Overall the menu is too limited and drinks are not worth it. Period. The space is pretty if not foolishly designed with an enormous plastic plant planter that takes up valuable table space. Accessing the rooftop is ridiculous and cannot be changed as there is only one small elevator. Very annoying. Do not valet park it's $20 and they are incompetent. Not sure we will ever return we are locals and I have never been to this hotel because it is less stars that I ordinarily frequent but was curious due to Kassi ownership same as Elephante' in Santa Monica which we also visited and enjoyed. This venue has some growing up to do read more

Had reservations for the restaurant, the valet turned us away because they were too busy. Don't worry, once we finally got to the restaurant they had a ton of people doing blow in the bathroom. So I guess you don't have to be discrete. read more

Incredibly rude and unprofessional: The pink haired bartender literally yelled at us when we asked for a new glass and later slammed a cup of ice on the table. Unwarranted and borderline psycho. This person should not be in the service industry, let alone represent this restaurant group. read more

Wow! What a great spot! I just love a rooftop and this is the best one in town! On a high visibility day you can even see point dume

We loved high rooftop but kassi is even better. The food and drinks are delicious and they made much better use of the space with way more tables and lots of shade read more

Had the most wonderful experience at Kassi. Our waiter Danny was the best--he was attentive and had the best vibe. Will definitely be back!

Food was ok but overpriced for what it was, service was close to non existent and very disorganized, manager was crass and condescending. If not for the stunning view of the beach I would have rated this as low as possible. If you're looking for a good time I do not recommend it, however if you want a place to look at the beach and pay for overpriced food and bev this will definitely fit your tastes. read more

BEAUTIFUL VIEW!! Was a great experience! Dorsa was a lovely server and helped me figure out what I can eat (I'm celiac). read more

Double booked tables and canceled reservations last minute. Poor execution of the transition from High Rooftop Lounge to Kassi
