The oldest bar/restaurant in Santa Monica, opened in 1934. One of the few cool, authentic places left in the neighborhood .

Veronica Chavira

Happy hour is a fun environment! Lights cover the inside. Good prices and good portions! They’ve been around since 1934. Recommend the calamari ! Good spot for surf ‘n turf !

Jason Bitensky

Everything but the cocktails . I’ve been going here for years and every time I go back (6x a year for sure) I try a cocktail . They are just gross. Please fix it.

Stan Bashmashnikov

Oldest bar in Santa Monica. Fantastic bartenders . Get an Old Fashioned or a Maker's and sip it ever-so casually .

Megan Allison

Goddamn adorable. Clam steamers under a mermaid painting from the 30's: don't care what it costs I'm in, hook line and sinker ⚓️???? ????

Mallory Maske

Awesome happy hour at the bar - 5-7 Monday- Saturday and all day Sunday , everything on the bar menu is half off! Local Santa Monica spot.

Dress for the Date

Check out the new bar menu. All looks fantastic, and well thought out. Loved the vegetarian tacos .

Steve Krohn

Definitely a local favorite! The clams are a must. Great service, consistently a great experience!

Justin Satzman

Loved the turkey burger , sea bass special and the halibut . Kind of weird with hay on the floor but that's just me. Great and friendly service though.

Jennifer Minall

Thinking about having a Super Bowl Party? Book the private, heated, outdoor patio at the Galley and watch on a big screen TV , with all your friends, great food and stiff drinks ! Cheers.

Alex Donner

Great food and drinks, better bar tenders. If you're looking for a great happy hour dinner in a fun atmosphere , just find a stool at the bar .

Perfect for old school seafood like fried jumbo shrimp and decor provided by set decorations from the movie Mutiny on the Bounty

Steak and a martini - great classic retro tiki style space

Dress for the Date

On Sunday they open up for an all day happy hour at the bar , and 1-7 on the patio .

David Skinner

Garlic bread and Rosemary Chicken were both solid choices. Stay away from the sauteed spinach .

Buttercup D

The bar is small, but great for meeting people. Order the delicious onion rings with the aioli which is addicting!

OK this is a small thing, when they bring the bread out the butter is soft! Makes for easy spreading

They won't give you bread if you're here for drinks.
