The Galley

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

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 !

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.

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

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 ⚓️???? ????

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.

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

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

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.

Awesome for drinks or fantastic seafood go here! I love the atmosphere and most of all the millions of fairy lights

Join us every week for Taco Tuesday at the Galley Bar . $3 tacos - your choice of filet, fish of the day & chicken and $5 well drinks , $4.50 beers and 50% off selected bar menu items. Cheers!

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.

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

The different steak choices and the various sauces to choose from are fantastic!

Steak and a martini - great classic retro tiki style space

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

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

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

Love The Galley! Been coming for over 15 yrs but that new server Katie is terrible. :(

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.
