Pepperoni pizza
Lianne P.

Fun vibey spot I would absolutely come back here with friends for a drink or a date night. Pizzas are really good especially the pepperoni & so are the cocktails!

Drinking on the patio :)

I didn't eat here but I stopped by to have some drinks! But the food looks delicious, specifically the pizza. I had a dirty martini (could have been dirtier), but it is good! Overall, the ambiance is very chill and you just walk up to the bar and order and sit wherever you'd like on a Friday night (7pm).

Pizzas and cocktails! We ordered a Beautiful & Nice and a coconut cocktail (I forgot the name but it's on one of the menu pages!) coconut cocktail was so good. Beautiful & Nice was so strong for my liking. Pizzas: we got a pear & Swiss + margarita with prosciutto (extra fee). I loved the pear & Swiss pizza, it was savory and the flavors melt so well. Love the relaxing vibe at this restaurant!

Pizza is pretty good and the vibe, complete with a well-stocked bar including plenty of bourbon, is comfortable. A good sized pizza making space takes up most of the rest aside from the bar, and the rotation of pizzas are generally liberally sprinkled with toppings. Service is excellent, especially with Kent working the bar. Seating is maybe a half dozen or a little more at the bar, a decent sized high-top, some tables, and an outdoor patio that's probably nice in the summer.

Tried Not No Bar for the first time since hearing all the commotion about it! It's the newest little disco / cocktail bar in Santa Monica. The drinks are delicious and the pizza is amazing. Bartenders are also super friendly and helpful! My only real qualm is that its very limited seating (first come, first served) and while I know they say they're cocktails first, their pizza oven is literally in the middle of the bar. If you want to be able to come and seat and eat it, you basically have to come at opening or you're SOL because it gets competitive and packed. We got there early and had to check in with people as they were paying for their bill in order to get their seats which is always uncomfortable. But, I feel like they should prioritize tables for those who want to eat so they can? I'm fine to stand with a drink but its impossible to eat a pizza in a packed room with no table I think there's some kinks to be worked out here and I do think once they open their outdoor seating things will improve!!!

Great vibes and pizza, but knocking off a star because trying to get a table if you want to eat a pizza is kind of a nightmare. Unless you're a large group, it's a free for all at the bar for seating where there's I think 8 seats so you basically have to stand around and wait for someone to leave. We got here around 6:30 and it was pretty packed. We were lucky and got seats maybe 10-15 min after we got there. By the time we left around 8, there was a line of ~20 out the door. If you're coming for a drink, they have unique drinks and it's great but if you want to sit down and eat, it'll be hard... the pizzas were really good though!!

Bang bang pizza
Alexa M.

Beats, wine, & pizza - three of my favorite things. Now mix in a great ambiance, awesome art, and a cool bar and you somehow have an East side feel over here on the West side. I went with two friends, Maggie and Tara around 5:20 on Thursday and it was jammed. Maybe one seat at the bar open upon arrival and two booths. We opted for full service at the booth and Maya and Cutter were great servers. Usually, I'm NOT a sparkling girl but we went for a natty sparkling red & when they didn't have the preferred option, Cutter brought over another (pictured below and v tasty). We shared the bang bang pizza & the crudo, mostly because I was begging the girls for the crudo but next time, I'd get two pizzas.. even if it means paying 27-29 for a margarita or pepperoni with hot honey.

Cocktail menu

Happened upon this new pizzeria/cocktail bar on Main Street in Santa Monica, in the former Isla/Little Prince space. A large domed pizza oven dominates the space, toward the back. The pizzaiola tells us he uses walnut for the wood burning oven. He turns out great Neapolitan-style pizza. Had the Bang Bang, a pie with soppressata, peppers, onions & greens -- it was delicious! They have a clam pizza that I'll have to come back for. Full bar with some interesting cocktails -- another thing I'll have to come back for, since I stayed with the Creature Comforts lager on tap. Cool vibes, disco-y music, small and crowded. A fun place to be.

Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).

I honestly do not think each one was even 20 ml. It was far below a standard 1 oz 30 ml pour per shot and looked more like something you would measure cough syrup with. The amount served was completely disproportionate to what we were charged and it ultimately felt like a scam. To make it worse, the shots were served in plastic cups that were smaller than a NyQuil dose cup, which made the whole thing feel even more ridiculous given the price. If you are charging premium bar prices, at least pour a proper amount and serve it in real glassware. On top of that, the attitude from the bartenders and much of the staff was rude and dismissive. This was not just my opinion. Our entire group felt the same way, and we even heard similar complaints from other patrons while we were there. What is most frustrating is that this still has not been made right. There has been no meaningful resolution and no accountability. Extremely disappointing and not the pub experience you would expect.

It was a lil' thicker than your typical mango lassi, but the faint sweetness did a great job at masking the earthiness of the kava. It was bomb and I would have loved to order 2 but I hadn't eaten so that was not the move lol The space has their own parking lot, as well as easy street parking. The patio is nice and ambient with music playing and many boardgames available for your entertainment. The bathroom was clean and had some funny Barbie dolls on display in there. The effect of kava is mellow and puts you in a positive head space. It also does truly enhance your desire to have discussions and connect with each other. If you appreciate any of that, you will like it here for sure. Overall, the kava served at Kavahana is well mixed and the environment is curated in such a cute way, it just makes you want to come back and chill out with the homies. I highly recommend!

It had a cool vibe and tons of allocated bottles on the bar (tequila and whiskey and whisky to name a few categories). The staff greeted us quickly and supplied us with some menus. I opted for the Idyllwild cocktail and loved it! It had the most complementary flavors and was so refreshing with the bourbon, yuzu, chartreuse, honey, and lemon flavors. My husband opted for a neat Caballito Cerrero Puntas pour (high proof agave spirit). They only had 0.5 Oz for their bottle and only charged for the partial pour. People came in and ordered anything from cocktails to neat pours to flights. It was a cool spot and the bartenders seemed pretty well versed in different cocktails, giving a few suggestions to different patrons. Even making a few Espresso Martinis for a couple of girls that didn't really like their initial cocktails. Staff was cool, attentive, and pretty quick and efficient with the pours. I'd definitely be down to try more drinks here if we roll through again. Luckily, we found some close street parking and it wasn't super busy so we easily found parking in the area. It also wasn't super packed in the venue so we could've opted for other seating--lounge areas, a few tables, or just at the bar.
