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 do! They start at 930pm

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!

After…read morea long week, we decided to stop in for a glass of wine--would have just been one but Mollie was the reason we decide to stay for another rosé for me and a Cab Sauv for him--and Mollie absolutely made our afternoon. She was warm, personable, attentive, genuinely friendly, and took the time to actually connect with us. That kind of service matters. There are plenty of places to grab a glass of wine or something to eat, especially in this area, but the way you're treated is what makes you choose to come back. Mollie has that natural ability to make people feel welcome rather than simply waited on, and that is something that should be recognized and encouraged. In hospitality, being personable, engaging with your guests, and creating an experience is just as important as what's being served--and she completely understands that. We came in for a couple glasses of wine and left saying we would absolutely come back because of her. Regardless of the ambience or even the food and drinks of your service isn't top notch we wouldn't return, because our service with her was amazing we would come back. Mollie, thank you for being so kind, fun, and welcoming. You made what could have been a quick stop after a long week such an enjoyable afternoon. We'll definitely be asking for you next time!

What a wonderful place…read more We came after a busy workday to chill and hang out with friends. We were a large group, so we were seated bar-style around a tree -- such a wonderful setting. As first-timers, we ordered quite a few things from the menu, and everything was finger-licking good. The cheeses, in particular, were among the best I've ever had in LA. Service: wonderful. Design: great. Market: a must-go. Even the bathrooms are worth bragging about. Would I make a 30+ minute detour just to dine here -- mandatory in my personal rating scheme to earn five stars? Oh yes. Can't wait to go again.

This place gets packed but it's because the food is so good and they have a vast drink selection. Came with a group of 5 and we split half dozen oysters, scallop crudo, kanpachi sashimi, french fries, smashed cucumber salad, melon salad, paella fried rice, and 2 Dudley burgers. Everything was SO fresh and super tasty. Was very impressed by the quality of the fish, my favorites being the scallops and kanpachi sashi. I also really liked the Dudley burgers which are pretty rich so I would recommend splitting so you have room to try other things. Once the sun sets, it's pretty dark & moody and also loud - people come in and order drinks while they're waiting to be seated so the bar can get packed. Note they also have a no laptop policy which we found out when my co-worker tried to send an e-mail haha. Also beware that if you sit outside, the sulfur smell by the beach can be pretty strong and unpleasant. We were happy we were inside!

The vibes are extremely casual on the inside and I felt overdressed! It is a smaller and more intimate setting with small tables and lots of conversation and laughter. The staff are also very friendly, welcoming, and casual. They talk a lot with each other and their guests. It's like you're eating at a friend's house with how close everyone is with one another. Finally the food. The Caesar salad was extra fishy- it even came with whole anchovies on top! It was not my favorite since I prefer a more subtle anchovies taste in the dressing. The prosciutto and burrata were tasty and refreshing. Their rosemary(?) bread was fluffy and flavorful. The green fettuccine was rich in flavor and very filling. The star of the night for me was their Vodka pasta dish with prosciutto. They said it was a special, so I'm not sure how often they have it. All I can say is I was blown away by how rich the sauce was. The pasta is their biggest selling point- nice, Al dente, and fresh! For the desserts we tried the tiramisu and panna cotta. The tiramisu was nice and light. I personally wish there was more mascarpone, but I am a mascarpone fiend so I'm sure most people would consider it enough! The staff were kind enough to give us a complimentary panna cotta for our anniversary dinner. It was refreshing and subtle. I have never had panna cotta before, so I don't have a reference to which I can compare it. Overall 5/5. I won't sugar coat it. Yes the prices can feel high, but the context is you're right next to the beach, so it's understandable. (I always note the price tag for restaurants because I myself have to plan/save for nicer dinners. I included the bill for reference.) Keep that in mind when you are choosing to dine here. I will say though, I avoid beach side restaurants because they are usually over priced and mid tier. I can confidently say that Casa 12 brings the flavor and a pleasant, homelike break from the sandy beach. I think they are my #1 for pasta flavors. I am eager to see what restaurant can top them!

I had to scrape it off just to eat it as the mustard completely overpowered the sandwich. * Salmon Sandwich: Very bland and lacked flavor. Side sales were bland. We had to ask for extra dressing. * Iced Coffee: There was something "weird" floating in my coffee. Between the hygiene issues on the patio, and the mediocre food, I won't be back.
