A great rooftop, great vibes, good sounds, and ven better drinks... I happened to not get flicks of that because I was in the moment, I also had the cucumbers 7.8 / 10 but after I added some more salt, 8.5 / 10 I believe the only drink I had was the Cadallac Marg 7.8 / 10 but going for the straight Ocho Repo did me better... also the Bottled Still of Aqua Panna. Our waiter was so cool by the way! She is actually the reason for the high rating and I wish I could remember her name right now.

Make a reservation! We saw people being turned away at the door. A few things went well for us when we visited for our anniversary- the view, the gluten free fries (the server was very knowledgeable), and the drinks (good but not especially unique). What I DIDN'T anticipate was how loud it was and the party atmosphere. There was a DJ set up and we were initially seated right in front of the speakers. We were able to move, luckily. I don't know why I expected a quieter, lowkey (aka romantic) vibe on a rooftop bar in Venice- it certainly wasn't that. But it WAS fun and great people watching!

Went here for drinks before dinner on Valentine's Day and it was very popular! Probably because it has a great view of the sunset & ocean. We enjoyed our drinks but be sure to wear a coat because it did get pretty windy and chilly up there! I believe the servers will bring you a blanket upon request though. I'd recommend this as a date spot or as a place to bring people visiting from out of town. The views are the best part, and the drinks were solid. My fiancé is very picky on espresso martinis as she only likes the ones with real espresso, and they passed the test.

The views during sunset are so magical- it feels as if you escaped Cali and are now in a foreign beach resort. The long passageway feels as if you're walking down a pier. I am glad we stopped by at 530pm it was a beautiful sunset. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive; I made reservations at 6pm on a Friday night. There was a DJ on set which was pretty cool this brought the overall experience and ambience as if it was a party in a beach club. As For the food it is Mediterranean food, we ordered the gem salad ( apples, pine nuts with a creamy sweet and sour dressing), asparagus; served with these creamy yellow / orange sauce, can't describe the taste but it was savory, we also ordered the beef sirloin and honey chx skewers, calamari (1/10 but wish it was a bigger serving size). The drinks were refreshing- I can't recall the names. The parking lots nearby was $20 I don't think the hotel had any valet for the restaurant so this one hurt.

This was so much fun! An after dinner dessert. We went to this rooftop restaurant tonight after dinner. It was quite cold outside so they gave us blankets and then when some people under a heater left, they moved us to the outdoor heater area which was really nice! My husband got the "deconstructed baklava" which he said was really good. I didn't want anything because I was too full and a bit cold so I had a cup of hot tea which was perfect for a cold night. Everyone working there was so nice. We are glad we tried it and look forward to eating there again!

Amazing view and vibes - recommend making a reservation bc it gets packed, especially around golden hour. Drinks/food are pricey as expected but worth it for the vibes. Parking can be difficult in this area, the nearby lots will charge $10+ an hour. This is the perfect spot to bring your friends who are visiting LA!

Loved the vibe at Kassi Beach House -- beautiful beach-style atmosphere, great cocktails, and delicious food. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view!

Zucchini chips, ahi tuna crudo chip, & crispy halloumi.

Beautiful rooftop in Venice with an incredible view. Great spot to bring out-of-towners! Food was tasty and our server was great.

For drinks Yes come here For $20 a drink it's good to impress someone for the one and done They have heat lamps and nice couches and stuff Come back for sunset if you can I'd recommend doing rsvp if you can and ask to get a good area You're paying for the vibe and view Drinks are solid I didn't feel skimmed

Starting at Kassi

I actually lived here in Venice Beach for 3 1/2 years way back in my "single" days; and knew every nook and cranny from Playa Del Ray to the Venice pier. This was my playground at a time when a young man needed a playground! I always knew of the Hotel Erwin where the Kassi Rooftop is located but never ventured in? The (pretty terrific) people we were with on this Sunday afternoon lead us to the Erwin and subsequently to Kassi. WOW.........was all I could say when the elevator door opened and the view I could see was from Palos Verde to Malibu and from the San Gabriel Mountains to Catalina; yikes, was this breathtaking! This spot at Kassi is absolutely Southern California at its best. With a "Chill" DJ spinning music and the food and drinks being served, along with this magnificent view and magnificent weather (in February mind you) this transplanted Chicago boy is definitely thinking of moving back here?

gorgeous view of the west side located on top of hotel Erwin! located amongst other popular bar hopping spots so the huge bar area seems like a popular night out destination. It is pretty cold after 6pm and there seemed to be no heat lamps, so bring a jacket. Made a reservation at 8pm on a Sunday- saw others get turned down for no reservation. The food was surprisingly amazing- got the refreshing watermelon salad, flatbread with taramasalata (2nd fav), crispy halloumi, salmon skewers (great but nothing special), and the table favorite lobster orzo (MUST have).

Cali at its best! Great rooftop vibes with a beautiful view! Super spacious for grabbing food or just to enjoy drinks. The food is nothing to write home about but it was good. I really enjoyed that for my birthday they treated both my mom and I to champagne and I really appreciated that!

Lauren S.

Kassi restaurant was amazing! I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time. The dishes are a bit smaller like tapas so there's not any main dishes so I recommend ordering at least 5-6 dishes between two people to share. Everything we did try was really good from the bread to the seafood and meats. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu with fresh ingredients. it's rare to find a restaurant in LA that has both a good view and good food and this place didn't disappoint. I will return!

View from the top.  No sunset tonight

Parking-is it difficult and only hotel parking and expensive?

They do have valet parking at the hotel but we never used them. We were able to find street parking on multiple days but be sure to read the signs. There are also other lots you can choose and metered parking

An old friend of mine was visiting from New York City. After helping her find a decent place to…read morestay, we came across this hotel. I decided to stay here as well, making it a staycation while I show my friend around town. The hotel itself is in Marina Del Rey, and knowing west LA, I was dreading the parking situation at first. But fortunately, there was no issue finding parking. The rooms here were pretty spacious, with a comfy bed, and great amenities. There is a restaurant on the first floor, which served pretty decent Italian food. For more on that, check out my other reviews. The place is overall very comfortable, spacious, clean, and never too crowded. There is a pool at the back, adjacent to the marina. It is always refreshing swimming there in the daytime, and it's a nice place to relax with a drink in the evening time. This is a great option when visiting LA, or deciding on take a staycation.

The lobby is beautiful. The birds in flight made me stop and look up. The room was clean and comfortable and the view of the marina was everything. I had a minor hiccup with the sink but the staff fixed it while I was out running errands so I wasn't interrupted. The valet was consistently quick and check out was easy. They held my luggage so that I could enjoy salt restaurant one last time. This is my peaceful place now. I'm already planning my return.

It's now called Dockside Marina City Club. Every Friday night, there's live music and dancing! It's members only but if you know someone or are able to get a guest pass, give it a go!

When he called and asked if I had ever been here, I responded and said no-to which he added that it was understandable being that "Joe Blow" can't just come in here and plop down for a bite-you need to be invited by a current resident and be placed on the guest list. If you want to be transported back in time, specifically either the 70s or 80s on a Friday night, you'll definitely want to come in and dine. The crowd is a nice mix of resonance or friends and or associates of the residents who live there. And while it's certainly not an assisted living home, the average age of the crowd when we attended was certainly on the north side of 60, and for over half of them pushing 70 easily. The ambiance, physical structure, layout & features (both overt and subtle) of the Dockside restaurant mirrored that (era/time/age of the location in every way-and in this particular case I would argue that's a good thing. My guest and I both went ahead and ordered the chicken tender salad, with him opting for blue cheese and myself going with ranch for the dressing. We both agreed it was better than average. Since I don't do alcohol, I didn't order any drinks, but he stated the two drinks he did order were excellent. All in all a great experience at The Dockside restaurant here at the Marina City Club restaurant where depending on what day and time you arrive, you will be treated to some jazz, old disco, or any combination thereof. If you want to go back in time a bit, it's a nice place to visit if you can get on the guest list.

I've never rented the space nor have I ever seen it in use. I hear the LMU Board of Directors…read moreoccasionally meets there, but I've never seen anybody use it. I know it primarily because it is the halfway point on my evening run. I always stop and take a look at the view, which in my opinion is magnificent. In fact the Bird Nest is ALL about the view from the patio. You can see from Marina del Rey, to the West (see photo I posted) and Century City, to the East. The spot is truly inspiration point. The next time you are visiting the LMU campus be sure to take the time to visit the Bird Nest and soak in the view.

O Bird Nest. You'll always be the Bird's Nest to me. For some reason, either right before I…read moregraduated from LMU or right afterward, it became a big deal for people who worked for Student Center Facilities or whatever department to refer to this swingin' remnant of the '70s as Bird Nest rather than Bird's Nest. Whatever. This weird clubhouse-like structure will be familiar to anyone who grew up in the '70s or '80s in California. It seems that every place near a beach or a pool had some wooden building with dark windows, a loft, and a conversation pit. LMU's Bird's Nest, or Bird Nest, is no different. I attended many a campus event here, and all of them were disappointing. OK, that's not exactly true. Many of them were wonderful, but Bird's Nest never really lived up to its '70s hype. The loft was always kind of sad, and the conversation pit, while definitely not sad, just never did the best job of maintaining conversations. I will say, however, that it was cool that during pre-orientation my freshman year they had Dazed and Confused on loop here during a mixer. I didn't really watch the movie, and I actually really didn't enjoy this mixer, but this movie and the feelings I had were very appropriate. The Bird's Nest was much cooler when it had a swimming pool next to it. They took that out either in the late '90s or right around 2000. When I was at LMU, it was a tradition that you were thrown into a body of water on your birthday. Most people got thrown into the Foley Pond, which is scary because it's really really really shallow so if you struggled at all you were likely to get hurt. If you had a nice friends, they would throw you into the Bird's Nest's pool. I was one of the throwers once, and the lead thrower counted 2 twice, so I let go of the girl's arms while he held onto her legs. She wasn't injured, but I felt really bad.
