The Bungalow Santa Monica

The "Kick in th Junk" cocktail is phenomenal! Try one or six. Play ping-pong with a stranger and please don't stare at your phone there is a lot of nice people here. Try new things!! #MezcalElSilencio

This will be one of my most fav places for afternoon cocktails . Trendy , amazing atmosphere, friendly people, awesome cocktails , and sunsets . The sangria was excellent. Great for mingling andgroups

Not a bar . A holidays house, close to the beach . Unique ambiance, interesting people and good drinks (bit pricey , ok). Enjoy a pool or tennis table game with strangers, the fire pit or just chill . GO!

great place. nice music , cool people, great sangria . the only bad thing is that if you arrive after 9pm, be prepared to wait in line for at least an hour.

Amazing place! A friend brought us there, and we were not expecting such a beautiful place with an incredible atmosphere. It felt like we were in a dream or in a movie ! Worth going!

Best new bar winner 2013. If we could translate CA culture into a cocktail , it would be this place: equal parts ocean view , killer music , a fire pit , lounge chairs, signature drinks & beautiful people Read more

Fall in love that place ! Nive atmosphere, lovely live music , good drinks. In weekends you can wait for a long line but for the other day perfect choice to chill out .

Sweet lounge spot. Lots of seating - couches/tables. has a few diff bars , ping pong tables , chill spot with quiet enough music to hold a conversation. Good vibes. I'll be back.

The trendy yet casual beachy vibe of The Bungalow keeps us coming back, not to mention they have VEEV in their INCREDIBLE Bitchin’ Sangria . It's always summer at The Bungalow.

A fun Friday night hangout with a beautiful outdoor setting and laid back vibe. Allows for good conversation, people watching , and some ping pong .

Perfect spot for drinks in the late afternoon after enjoying the beach . Also for late night drinks. But then you need to get dressed up

I hate it, but I sort of love to hate it. Drinks are priced steep. Fun place to shoot pool or get an afternoon drink before the kinds gross crowd rolls in. Every finance bro's go to Tinder date spot .

This place is amazing! The people who don't like it are just expecting too much. It's a bar that feels like a House party. It literally feels like ur at ur crazy aunts beach house. It's awesome :)

Come here on a weeknight or day-time on the weekend to avoid the douchey crowd! Love the home-y feel of this place. They have billiards , too.

my fav place in santa monica.. feels like you're at a house party. homey . fun to people watch . great cocktails .

Very crowded but social atmosphere. Hard to get a drink. Long lineups but moved fast enough for a Sat night. Once you get past the inconveniences, you can have a fun night

Trendy , yes. Bro-ey, somewhat. thi sis a really unique space though, worth popping in for a sunset drink .

I was on the verge of tears by the time we arrived at Bungalow, since I was positive we wouldn't have a decent table. But we did, and relief washed over me in an awesome wave.

If you haven't been here in a few months, they tore down all the inside walls where the restrooms are so there is a ton more space. There is also an inside bar . Hopefully no more epic lines !

Great cocktails and huge space to relax and enjoy the view

The outdoor bar scene at the Fairmont Miramar is great! Play ping pong or sit on one of the couches and enjoy the views of the beach ! –Tera L.

Lines on the weekends, but easy to get in on a weeknight for a drink and pool, ping pong or sitting around the fire-pit.

Great ambiance. Many spaces to lounge . Get there early or risk waiting in line , particularly on weekend nights.

Beauutiful place. You need to come see it but I just didnt feel it with the people there, i went back to a small dive bar after a drink

I think it's the place in Santa Monica. Great music the best environment, the true LA experience

The place is awesome. Good cocktails , nice bar . It's like your at home.

Crowded , semi-hip, mostly beautiful crowd. No cover and great location brings them in. $10 drinks keeps them there.

The atmosphere is very cozy and you feel like you are in a friend's beach house party

red sangria is always a treat - distinct sweet grape flavor, I usually end up drinking 3+

Fantastic night spot if you're willing to brave the line or pop for a table. Great singles scene.

The perfect spot for happy hour on Tuesday-Sunday. Come early and you can breeze right in without stopping.

Good cocktails , gorgeous view , great crowd, so fun for weekends - day & night

Probably the best bar in SM, but you need to get there before 8 or it isn't worth waiting an hour in line .

Nice, relaxed bar . The drinks are just ok, a bit expensive , but the setting is worth it.

Cool venue space wise...but if you don't enjoy being amongst beautiful people who want to be seen, this probably won't be your crowd. It wasn't mine... But I was on my own...

Great on Sunday where you can have a nice chilled moment by the beach . Love the housey style!

Beautiful People. Beautiful Cocktails . Beautiful French Fries .

The chill vibe here is the best

They actually did a decent job creating a 'casual-douche' atmosphere. Hard to do. Bartenders are the hands down absolute slowest bitches you'll find. Cherish every moment. Enjoy.

Great atmosphere- doesn't feel long like you're in the city !

It's like stepping into a hollister commercial. Really cool place but get here before 7:30 to avoid waiting on line for an hour.

One of the best Sunday day and night parties in Santa Monica ... Party starts at 2pm

Best place to meet cool people. Somehow I'm the mayor. Oh it's cuz I'm always there... Meeting cool people...

My favorite bar in the area! It feels like a fun backyard

Be prepared to wait if you're going on the weekend...but stay strong. The wait is worth it.

The menu has three drinks and three not-so-great food options. And no draft beer . Would be fine if the bartenders knew how to mix, but they don't. I don't get what they're trying to do.

One of the places to chill out with friends! great drinks!

Beautiful decor however drinks are very expensive . I had a $15 cocktail and the ingredients were not shaken up or stirred. Just awful to drink. They have a toilet near the entrance which are portables

Great place to grab a drink, hangout with friends, and maybe meet someone.

looks like a high end hook up place, most of the girls are almost half naked. i bet some monkey business happens in there.
