    Stage

    The Penmar is really fun to enjoy drinks, music, watch sport games at the bar, and hang out your friends! Free parking. You may have to park nearby and walk 5 minutes. You are greeted with friendly vibes and check your ticket/ give wristbands to enter. It's a big space where you can lay on the lawn with picnic blankets, pillows, your party of 10+. You can find someone blowing bubbles, playing corn hole, eating food, pretty much anything. You can bring your dogs and your own games to play at the lawn. There's also the outdoor stage and the live music is loud enough to project throughout the venue. You can get up close to the stage with your drinks and friends. Everyone is just hanging out and having a fun time. They sell food everywhere. Lots of pizza, burritos, fries and alcohol being served. I would rate 5 but the price point for food is too high to be justifiable in my opinion. It's quite the social scene! It's usually packed. Mostly younger Millennial and Gen Z peeps when I go.

    Great atmosphere, good food and decent prices. On a Sunday afternoon, seating for brunch was quick and there wasn't a wait, surprisingly. We sat on the patio and had a nice view of the green. We both ordered the veggie breakfast burrito. It had a lot of roasted cauliflower in it, which was a surprise, as were the chips and salsa it came with. Nonetheless, it was pretty tasty and felt wholesome. Prices were a bit higher than last advertised on their page. We ordered one of the wellness cocktails, which was a nice alternative to alcohol. Our server wasn't very friendly and never came back to check on us so we asked the busser to ring us up, I would like to come back for a patio movie night. Overall a fun spot with pretty good food and beverage options.

    Venice Omelet at Penmar!

    Food is amazing, beautiful setting on the golf course and dog friendly! Love this place.

    key lime Martini and Puff puff pass.

    Everything was great from the moment we came in. We were greeted from the jump. Early in the morning, it was quiet. The food was amazing. So hungry I didn't even take a picture. 3 dishes ordered, the breakfast burrito, the green chilaquiles and the beef barbacoa. The drinks made by Elena were Devine. You can tell they were made with love. A key lime martini definitely a must try. A Double shot espresso martini yummy, and a puff puff pass with mescal for those with acquired taste. 2nd time here and they never disappoint. Must try whether you want a bite to eat after a round of golf and just to enjoy a great meal. I say come for both!

    Came here October 2025 for the dodgers world series games all games are shown on the jumbotron, with loud audio, plus they have over 20+ tv screens throughout the restaurant and bar area. free large parking lot, great menu, fast service, incredible game stream on the 200 in jumbotron screen. This is a great dodgers sports bar on the westside. Absolutely 10/10 they have dodgers hats, menu concession on the bigger game days as well as the lawn open seating for picnic, dog-friendly and you can even bring lawn chairs. They also show a bunch of sports game throughout the week for a bunch of other sports. The lawn is a great chill area but I dont think you can order a full menu there but you can walk over to the sports bar area to order anything you want.

    Stopped in for my first time for brunch because I was really excited to have breakfast right near a golf course in a really tranquil setting. It's attached to a large free parking lot, but it fills up quickly due to the popularity of the public course. The restaurant itself is quite large and they have plenty of indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating which is where we sat. We had a great view of the practice green as well as one of the holes. Our server was very polite however they were out of power to part of the restaurant so they could not serve any warm drinks so sadly no coffee. We started off with the Raspberry Cruffin and thought it was honestly fantastic. I would highly suggest ordering it if you see it there. It's basically a croissant and muffin combined with raspberry sauce in the middle. For my meal, I chose the Eggs Benedicto which was a chorizo Eggs Benedict. I thought it was very good and I really enjoyed the side fruit. I also ordered a Greek Salad and thought it was pretty good although the portions were a little unbalanced. I wish there would've been more onion and a little more tomato. I would recommend it though if you like those flavors. Overall, a really nice breakfast option in Venice and I do plan to give it another try in the near future.

    The Penmar Patio for football is unmatched

    I mean come on! With this steak frites for $20 and the salmon skewers for $15! New menu as of December 2025. Happy hour still from 3-6.

    Don't eat here at all bro
    Maxton F.

    Oh well well well $30 for a spaghetti and a latte. The meat in the spaghetti bolognese was gross like an uncooked rat with veins poking out just let the pictures speak for themselves. Change in quality is needed (or a massive price decrease) I think it's a non profit for god sakes charging these high prices for this shi is a war crime and all the veterans can attest sheeeyeee goddam! Service is good tho maybe mid actually all the passwords are 1234 lol. Ambiance mid pretty ok. Update: AFTER EATING THAT I VOMITED DON'T EAT HERE

    The Penmar is truly my home away from home, and a huge part of that is because of Taylor and Nisandre. Every time I walk in, they treat me like family--warm hellos, inside jokes, the kind of genuine connection you just don't find everywhere. They're not just great at their jobs; they're the heart of the place. Sundays at The Penmar have basically become a tradition. There's no better spot to watch football, hang out, and just enjoy the day. The vibe is always perfect--chill, fun, and full of people you actually want to spend time around. And I will forever stand by this: the Tuna Melt is one of the best things on the menu. I talk about it constantly for a reason. If you want a neighborhood spot where the staff knows you, the food hits every time, and you always walk out happier than you walked in, The Penmar is it. Taylor and Nisandre and Iris and Max make it feel like you're coming back to friends--and that's why I love it so much.

    Attended the "Summer Sessions" live music event and had a blast people watching. This is a golfing and dining facility that host a live music event with KCRW. Seen on TikTok from other influencers that this is a happening place to be on a Friday during the late afternoon/early evening. Doors open at 4pm. So from 4pm-5pm are the Early Birds which was us since it was our first time attending. We saw one of the bands load in their gear as we showed the registration kids (literally teenager) our qr codes to get in. Then it's a bag check, followed by a table that you'll stop by and pay the $25 corkage fee if you brought our own alcoholic beverages (two bottle maximum) and then your inside where another teen will ask you if you want a glow in the dark bracelet ( which indicates you are single and ready to mingle). Strolling inside The Penmar you'll see people playing golf, food and drink stations being set up. Then you go to the lawn and lay down your blankets and/or chairs. There are security guards blocking off a lot of the greenery for the golfers. My friends and I got some drinks and ordered the nachos which were a great amount and very delicious. More people arrived and around 6pm the security guards opened up the full lawn for all of us. People ran to lay down their blankets close to the stage. By 7pm the lawn was covered with tons of stylish, jockish and hipster folk. The first band had a country/folk flare. When they finished a dj played some uptempo music, after that the second band was a boy group/yacht rock blend. It was great people watching and hanging out playing Uno with my friends.

    Came here for the first time ever last night for Sunset Sessions! It was a cute and bougie vibe and the music they played was fun and eclectic. It was fun to people watch and we got there early to score a blanketed spot on the lawn to people watch. The lines to the bar weren't bad in the beginning, but as more people arrived, it progressively got worse. We met some cool and friendly people there but it would have been great to have met more! Everything was way overpriced with drinks having added fees and the admission fee to get in also being overpriced. I don't think I would go again but it's a good place to check out once to say you did it! The parking lot seemed full when I came but there was ample street parking a block away!

    Sunset Sessions is such an experience. Saw tons of people from various Netflix dating shows, the bachelor, etc. Very LA vibes lol. Buy tickets ahead of time, the price goes up by a few bucks the day of. Also pro tip: just pay the $25 corkage fee and bring your own wine. They charge like $18 for a glass of wine. I honestly don't know that I would come back? It's fun but an interesting vibe for sure. Also the quesadillas are delicious BUT they automatically add in gratuity and don't tell you!! so don't tip! My $15 carnitas quesadilla came out to $19 and when i asked why, they said it was for gratuity but then the screen still asks for a tip. They should really tell you beforehand.

    GREAT EAGLES BAR!!! Go Birds!

    Awesome Eagles Bar!!! 20ft outdoor jumbotron and plenty of folks from Philly. Pretty darn good Philly Cheesesteak on Amoroso. Go Birds!

    I was looking for a place to meet a friend near the ocean. The menu at this restaurant looked…read moredelicious and we decided to give it a try. There is both indoor and patio dining. The vibe is casual and beach chic. All of the food is delicious and this is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The restaurant has very few parking spaces on site. The only downside is that the paid parking is ridiculously expensive. Anywhere from $10 to 15 minutes to an hour, $20 for two hours and the price goes up and up. There is one hour metered parking nearby which isn't very convenient if you have to keep going back to refill the meter. If you're lucky you might find distant street parking that is unpaid. This is nothing against the restaurant, but as Venice as a city in general. High prices like these without any special validation, are sure to keep people from coming to these places at all if you can't afford it. Perhaps that's how Venice would like to keep it. Only people who can afford the parking are allowed to enjoy these businesses.

The ambiance was very chill California energy (I'm from New York lol), which I loved. The decor also was giving spa vibes in a good way. Byredo hand soap in the restroom, okayyyy! My server Joshua was super friendly and attentive, appreciated his good energy. Breakfast menu had a lot of delicious sounding options but I went for the breakfast burrito with hot sauce and it was fantastic. Breakfast burritos are very hit or miss IMO and this was a hit. I also had two cappuccinos bc I am a caffeine fiend and also jet lagged and they were both very good. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood. I just realized they have other locations throughout LA too which I'm sure are also good but this one did not disappoint at all.

It was these 'onion rings' only, no bodies/tentacles. The dish hit the table with a plastic ramekin of cocktail sauce, no sweet chili. The food runner had no idea what we were talking about when we pointed that out but said "sure I'll bring you more sauce." Which made us feel like we were asking for something "extra". We ordered 2 poke bowls with tuna. The tuna was high quality, but the rest of the dish fell apart. First - who uses long grain rice in a poke bowl? It's sushi rice or nothing. It was a bizarre choice and the rice was undercooked to make it worse. Second - once again, it came out unseasoned and without any sauces whatsoever. Your menu states it has ponzu, chili oil, and bang bang sauce on it. When we asked our server for some sauces because it was absolutely bland, we were brought soy sauce and chimichurri sauce (!?!?!?) So your kitchen needs an overhaul on its dishes and your service staff desperately needs to be retrained on how your dishes are presented - they never should've hit the table like that. The ambience is nice but a bit gritty and weathered. The host and serving staff were pleasant and quickly took care of our requests, but they felt like they shouldn't have needed to be requests in the first place if the dishes had just been executed correctly.
