I had to hop on here and give a massive shoutout to JJ, the bouncer at The Lincoln. I'm visiting from SF, and honestly, JJ made my experience in LA so much better. It's rare to find someone working the door who is as professional and genuinely kind as he is. From the moment we walked up, he was incredibly respectful and welcoming, which set such a great vibe for the whole night. You can tell he's just a high-quality character--he manages the crowd with ease and treats everyone with dignity. It was a huge bonus to run into such a professional while exploring the city. If you're heading to The Lincoln, look out for JJ. He's the best in the business!

. They offer two kinds of non-alcoholic wine!! Woho! If you are sober or alcohol-free like me, you know how hard it is to find a bar that serves non-alcoholic wine. This bar popped up in my search a year ago while I was looking for bars in the Santa Monica area. This week, a friend and I were having dinner at a Santa Monica place and wanted to go out afterward. It was a Wednesday night, so we knew it was going to be chill. The place is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor areas. They have a long bar to sit by, couches, and some tables inside. The bartenders are nice and attentive. I really like that they offer alcohol-free wine. Will come Again! Easy, free street parking. Nice security guard at the front!

I love it here! Ever since their remodel, this has been a go to spot for me. The ambience is amazing, low light but enough to still set the tone. I had a Miami Manny and boy was that thing smacking. That mezcal boy o boy.... Our bartender was super cool and helped navigate through the wide selection of drinks. I highly recommend going here!

Great chill vibe in this mellow bar with ultra Chill bartender Ashley. Came here on a Tuesday night for a cocktails and a mood to make everything alright! Sitting at da bar, listening to the playlist of rap that makes your feet tap! I can see this bar a thump'n on the weekends a-pump'en! Great local bar with that super chill feel! Viva L.A..! Our bartender has that unique persona that keeps you engaged with a chill vibe! No worries, cause every little thing is gonna be alright! Great bar! With Great Vibes!

Came here for an event. Great vibes even for a weekday night. Our group was large so we made the spot busy. To drink, I had the cucumber/mint based drink (The Best Side)--tasty and refreshing. I liked the ambiance a lot. It's in an unassuming area, at least seemingly so. I'd come back

An amazing place!

This is a magical place and it is a wonderful gem. I usually park in the residential area across the street and have no problem getting access to the establishment. The décor is very unique and fashionable with splashes of a rustic environment. The last time we came here, it was a large group and we were able to have some nice tacos with solid drinks. The water station is super helpful and the disco ball with the dope lights throughout the place made it all a vibe. There is plenty of room to sit, chat, stand, dance, and have a relaxing and lively evening altogether. The service is so nice and the staff is very quick with cleaning up tables. The restroom was clean and the DJ played amazing music all night long. Toward the end of the night after we ate dinner, we noticed that the dance floor was never empty. The songs he played spoke to at least one group out of our entire squad! What an amazing experience!

Really enjoyed The Lincoln. The vibe is great--fun, lively, and perfect for a night out in Venice. The music was good and added a lot to the atmosphere without being too loud. Drinks were solid and well made, and the overall crowd was a good mix. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for good cocktails and a fun vibe.

To start off, this bar was a last minute plan that absolutely became the best choice of the night. As soon as I entered the place it smelled so good & they had heaters, which was amazing because it was a really cold night. Their patio is enclosed as well, & it's so aesthetic, with the disco ball & the vines. The bartender was also amazing, getting the drinks out fast, nice & efficient for the party of 20 I was in. Unfortunately they don't have any food , but they let you bring your own food which was still pretty good cause we ended up ordering pizzas & we were satisfied. Overall, this place has a really nice vibe. Would definitely come back !

Great music, good drinks, & cool bartenders! Great place to have a drink & go dancing. Unfortunately some people can be sloppy, but it's a bar/club scene so that's expected. Cheers!

What Music will you guys be playing this Sunday 12/21 & how packed does it get on a Sunday night? Looking to hanging out there possibly for My birthday

We always have open format DJs so they play to the vibe/crowd. It's pretty mellow on Sundays - especially compared to the Fri/Sat crowd.

We do! They start at 930pm

Do you ever play jazz?

We don’t unfortunately!

Is there a dj on Thursday nights?

There is!

Yes, we’re quite mellow on weeknights :)

Do you have karaoke some nights?

We do not unfortunately

What time should I get there to get a seat for the Washington game Sunday ? Traveling from a couple hours away, heard this is the spot for Redskin fans

Hi Kevin :) I think you might have us confused with a different bar - we don’t have TVs!

What type of music on Saturday nights?

We have a range of DJs so it depends on the night - I would say mostly top 40, hip hop and radio house. Definitely a dance-party type of set list.

I would love to have my 65 th Birthday Party. Would I be able to have a live band for Music and catered food?

Hi Teresa, thank you for thinking of us! We don’t have live bands at our venue unfortunately. Feel free to reach out to info@thelincolnvenice.com for more information on booking an event or party :)

What time the Dj starts on Friday?

930!

Is there a happy hour? If so, when is it and what are the happy hour specials?

Hello! We have specials Sunday-Thursdays (all night) Sunday is a $9 shot and a beer special, Monday is 9 Old Fashioned, Tuesday is $9 margaritas, Wednesday is $9 whiskey specials and Thursday is $9 Old Fashioned and margaritas. Hope to see you soon!

Any Sunday evening events, any music?

We have DJs Tues-Sun!

Love the chics but do any guys go to this place?

Is there a DJ tomorrow evening 11/23?

Yes, 2 actually!

Is there a dj tonight?

Always!

Are you open New Years 1/1 ? Is there live music?

Of course! We have a DJ starting at 930pm that night

The place was jammed packed and the tournament has been a real shot in the arm for the area bars and restaurants. I sat at the bar and ordered the Manhattan Clam Chowder along with a pasta dish with chicken which as fine, but I have had better. The vibe was great because of the soccer and this was the most crowded I have ever seen this place since opening about 5 years ago. Rumors say the place is for sale, and one of the problems is that they constantly are changing the menu. The prices are a little steep, but that is the case everywhere as food prices have exploded and I have noticed couples sharing an entree versus ordering separately. The service is fine but the restaurant by now should have an established and reliable menu. I'll be back and this place caters to an under 30 crowd. RECOMMEND.

This also wasn't the first time. On several recent visits, the same customer sits in the corner working on his laptop while allowing his large black-and-brown dog to wander throughout the restaurant instead of keeping it close by. It made both friends and myself uncomfortable enough that we chose to leave each time. As someone who was attacked by a dog as a child, this is especially difficult for me. I actually have a dog of my own, so this isn't about disliking dogs. I completely understand that this is a very dog-friendly neighborhood, and I have no issue with dogs when they're leashed, supervised, and under their owner's control. I hope the restaurant returns to enforcing those expectations so everyone--including guests who may have fears, allergies, or simply prefer not to have dogs roaming around--can enjoy the space again. I've always liked this place and would love to feel comfortable coming back.

So we're faithful. BUT we've come between 2-4pm 3 times now. The place usually has a few people sitting in the front but no real wait staff for the back. So other than taking the order and bringing the food 3/3 we have gotten up for silverware, mspkins, water and the check. Which is fine but then you get the bill which has the tip suggestion which I just don't know what to do. I know it's hard to get wait staff to stay part the lunch rush or come early before the dinner rush but if you did have a waiter I think you'd see more business.

Despite a busy Sunday night, we walked right in and were immediately seated across from 1 of the 2 TVs they have in the bar area; we told the host we wanted to watch the game. The staff were very nice, and the bartender took our drink order right away. The beers were cold, and he took our food order shortly after. Our food came out very quickly, was exactly what we ordered, and we were digging the vibe. Most of the bar was watching the game and we were having a great time. The game was well underway, and 3 other patrons came in. Before we knew it, the game was changed to a Ravens vs Falcons game per their request. In LA. On NLCS game 1 night. Despite voicing our confusion and frustration, it wasn't changed back. One of the patrons retorted they wanted to watch the football game (in short..), and another bartender asked if we could still see the game on the other TV, which wasn't at a good angle. The whole interaction was frustrating. We paid and left, beer still in glass. Not coming back.

QUICK TAKE Get: Mexicali Quesadilla, fries, wrap, grilled chicken salad, drinks Skip: Nothing we had Know: Very casual, quick service, and a fun place to hang out rather than just grab food and leave. The first thing that stood out was the space itself. It has a really cool, laid-back SoCal feel and is the kind of place where you could easily hang out for a while. Service was also impressively quick and friendly. The food was better than I expected too. Mexicali Quesadilla: One of our favorites. Filling, flavorful and exactly the kind of thing that works well with a beer or cider. Fries: Really good and easy to share. Wrap: Fresh, satisfying and another solid choice if you want something a little lighter. Salad with Grilled Chicken: The produce tasted fresh and the chicken was nicely grilled. A good option if you want something healthier without feeling like you're settling. Drinks: Definitely part of the reason to come here. They make their own ciders and have a huge range of beers, meads and other drinks, including some pretty unusual flavors. There really wasn't anything we ordered that I would tell someone to avoid. Between the food, drinks, fast service and atmosphere, SoCal Vibes Co. is just an easy place to like.

It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.
