I'm so glad I decided to stop by and dine in. Party of 2, open seating at the bar. We arrived at a good time, no crowd no wait. The westside drink (vodka base) was really good and I highly recommend the truffle pizza. The truffle pizza was the best truffle pizza I've ever had..... made fresh to order and absolutely delicious! Huge shoutout to the general manager, Saad (I hope I spelled his name correctly). He was very friendly and attentive and made our dining experience wonderful. The bartender was also great and made really good drinks! The are plenty of TV's in case you want to catch a game and the sports decor around the restaurant added the perfect touch. Plenty of parking structures near by. I will definitely dine here again. I highly recommended courtside lounge.

That was weird af and then the some dude stormed into the bar and I guess his wife was sitting next to another guy at the bar and he almost go into a physical confrontation with him and they had to kick him out.

I also had a cappuccino which was bigger than I expected, so I took the rest to go. A super chill place to work with great food and good vibes. I'll definitely be back!

This is easily one of the best places on the beach to grab a beer…read more It's a super casual, dive-ish bar that is clean, never sticky and friendly. It has an upstairs seating area which has amazing views all the way down to the water. The windows upstairs open out so you have an amazing breeze too. Same downstairs, everything is open and it keeps things feeling very beach like. HH from 4-6 which includes $6 bottled red stripe and $9 tequila shots. (also, $9 chicken tenders) The staff here are all so down to earth and friendly, you can always see tons of locals here too which I think speaks volumes. This is just a cool place without pretension.

There is this whole thing about being a tourist in a city one knowns at their own. When this is…read morepracticed with intention, one can see, understand and enjoy a different layer of a city's personality. I feel like my visit to Venice Beach Bar & Kitchen made me a tourist in Venice Beach because I got to see (and more importantly feel) the world famous beach transition from day to evening splash. This allowed me to see the beach's sky shift in shade and hue, which was a treat for the other 4 senses, not just the view for the eyes. Thus, I experienced a Venice Beach beach night in a comfortable spot that allowed me to take in the moment, a tourist's dream, per chance. On a previous night walk, some fun-loving dudes were waving hello to passing walkers, from the second floor of this joint. They were sticking themselves out from windows. I engaged back with them, and it all felt breezy and cool. Thus, I made a point to return to this bar to experience the vibe that jolted these dudes to window fun. As my friend Conrad and I approached, we felt the setting sun, the chill of a breeze, and the cool pop of a night to be had. When we got the security guard he checked for Conrad's ID but not my own. He said, "I was more worried about him, than you," no offense. I said, "it does sound like a little like a slap in the face." I should have been beach cool and said, "no you are fine, who can possible take offense to that?" He further explained that the joint was still a bar and restaurant but good luck with finding a spot to sit. As soon as Conrad and I entered we found a table for two in their beach facing patio. Like a ninja with a mission I scurried to the open table. In crowded places like this one, politeness matters 1000% percent. I just rushed to the table, because it was open, I did not elbow or verbally pushed others aside for the table. I was politely determined not rudely in a rush. When we sat at the table, that is where we could best enjoy the Venice Beach environment. When we first sat the light of the day waning was present. We could still see the blue of the sky and the water. The sky's clouds were becoming filled with color, like a subtle pink. The palmtrees lost their color, now they were only black silhouettes, a sight I never get tired off because its California classic. It was peace in the beach, while I was sitting in a chair, not laying on a beach towel. The opportunity to be at the beach, while not being at the beach, is a great point for this place! During my visit I had four of their tacos. I had their pes-cod-do and their squash taco first. They were ok. I expected more but that could be my expectation, there was nothing wrong with them per say. Then I had a corn on a stick, and two more tacos. Their carne asada, and their Gringo, which was made of ground beef. I like these tacos way more! But they were easily to like. Like the ground beef taco had all the ingredients of an American taco- sour cream, shredded lettuce, and it was easy to enjoy because it was all familiar and flavorful. The carne asada taco was not made with think skirt steak. It was made with thick cut pieces of steak, and it was the best tack of the four, easily. The corn was also super good! The corn was steamed in water. I would have liked it to be roasted but that was. personal preference. I had two margaritas- pineapple and they were strong and tasty. Conrad got some chipotle wings, with sliced carrots on top, which was a new sight for me. The wings were also good, I tried one, but buffalo is not a sauce for me. The place itself is spacy and has two floors. It was not super packed for a Saturday night but I am not complaining. This place is a beach bar and beach bar, at least in my mind, is not really for the night but for the day.

Words cannot do Justice to what a Multi-Faceted Paradise this is for fans of the Buffalo Bills…read more Like, there should be an Angelic Tabernacle accompanying any Attempt to Review this Bills Mafia Shangra-La. But Goonies never say Die... and in Josh Allen we Trust... so here goes: Imagine, if you will, never having to Submit yourself to the Audio Torture of Commercials during Games. And I say this as a man who makes his Living by being *in* Commercials. Well you ain't gotta Imagine here... because Busby's has a DJ at his Designated Booth playing Music. During. Every. Single. Commercial. Break. HALLELUJAH and SCREW YOU, NFL!!! But first you gotta get past any of the Friendliest, Tallest Bouncers you could ever hope to Guard this Sanctuary from any old Riff Raff that would Dare to Stumble in off of Santa Monica Blvd as soon as they hear everyone having a Blast from inside. Because you will indeed hear us all from the Street... The Main Bar is equipped with Windows that open Wide to let the Fresh Air in. The Bar itself would feel like it was Reconstructed from some Pirate Ship... if it weren't completely Polished 9 times over to feel as Regal as the Resolute Desk before a certain Cheeto-Tinted Douche Canoe hijacked the Oval Office. Plenty of High Tops and Booths are situated next to the Walls and Windows, if not every bit Tastefully Spaced as the Glory of the Pandemic mandated all Respectable Restaurants to arrange their Seating. Needless to say, there are TV Screens everywhere; most (if not All) will have the Bills game on, but even Bills Mafia play Fantasy Football and/or have a Bye Week, so you'll also be able to see the Action across the League on a few Screens. Back to through the DJ's Bar, where there are even more Booths, High Tops, and TV Screens showing Josh Allen absolutely Threading Needles and Tossing Bombs to DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and the rest of the Electric Company on your way to either-- (A) the Theater Room with the Bills game Projecting onto the Wall in front of Several Rows of Pews. (2) the Rear Bar where a few Low Tops sit between the small Bar and the Sectional Couch in front of the Fireplace with a Large Screen above it... but there are still several TVs throughout to catch the Games. From here, you'll have access to the Pool Room where there are two Tables, and another GAME ROOM that is CHOCK FULL of Buck Hunter next to a Claw full of Stuffies, Darts, Foosball, Air Hockey, Skeeball, Table Pac-Man, and two Basketball lanes for Competition. (d) the Side Patio (where more Cheering naturally spills onto the Boulevard) complete with Couches, Covered Tables, and a PUTT PUTT GOLF COURSE. And we haven't even *Tapped* into what Busby's has Available on their Menu... and On Tap ;D Needless to say, Buffalonians are Wing Snobs. And for Good Reason, if you've ever had Wings from there. Any Bills Mafia I've ever run into outside the City of Good Neighbors will Guffaw, Roll their Eyes, and Turn their Nose at the mention of any place that so much as Claims to have Decent Wings. (Go to Bar Bill in East Aurora and order the Honey Butter BBQ Wings if you need to see why) Having said all *that*, the Wings at Busby's hold their own. As a Bills fan, you can look at yourself in the Mirror after eating these Wings. You can thoroughly enjoy James Cook, Dalton Kincaid, and/or Dawson Knox scoring 6 with properly Stained Lips and a belly full of Busby's Wings. The Wood-fired Pizza is Top Notch. The Chili is a Favorite. Killer Apps up the Wazzoo (go ahead and put that Heart Clogger to the Test), Breakfast Burrito, Burgers, Rotisserie Chicken, Cheese Steaks... and an assortment of Craft Beers on Tap that includes Kona aka Liquid Aloha. As a matter of fact, the *only* Minor Tarnish is that Busby's West *doesn't* provide the Ultimate Buffalo Experience by having Labatt Blue or Beef on Weck in their Repertoire. Outside of that Hiccup, you can feel like you have Circled the Wagons in the City of Lights itself with all your favorite neighborhood Bills Mafia... without having to Weather that Frozen Niagara Weather ;D Word to the Wise... Metered Street Parking and it becomes Standing Room Only at Gametime.
