The Chestnut Club

Great spot! Easy parking at meters on Santa Monica Blvd; recommend the Westside (very delicious and refreshing!), the Bourbon Fix (Old Fashioned-y but less sweet, more tart ) and the Paloma Cafe .

The Chestnut Club’s bare brick walls and antique fixtures lend a dignified air, perfect for enjoying a stunning collection of old and rare spirits and a sharp list of spartan cocktails . Read more

Everything you love about a speakeasy with the added plus of a club vibe (sans douchebag ). The perfect mix. Bartenders know their shit, so trust them despite their required uniform 😳

Great for a pre-dinner strong drink on a Saturday. Get the El Camino , a more complex drink in the old fashioned family.

Great drinks, knowledgable bartenders and good atmosphere. Nice appetizers/bar food. A bit pricy ..my new chill zone.

Good for a relaxing cocktail during the week. Great mix of whiskeys and well mixed cocktails .

Very good cocktails available late night in Santa Monica. Get the Chestnut Cup if you like gin .

This place needs a lot more seats if it wants to be a nice cocktail lounge . I easily would have stayed for another few hours but there is something unpleasant about pushing through a crowd to order.

Drink selection and ambience were awesome. Whiskey selection is great.

Kind bartenders with great knowledge . Sit at the bar to sample some interesting liquor .

Great spot, good drinks, glacial ice cubes.

Comprehensive cocktails in a low/light, swanky atmosphere.

Craft cocktails !! Amazing care in each pour ...

Vynil country music on Sunday is terrific way to end the weekend.

It's cool and very old fashioned -- but I left my number for the bartender and he never texted me :/

Anything with over-proof rum

Mojito taste good!

Lots of Liquors !

Douchey bouncers. "You had that jailbait smell".

14th and Santa Monica...but trying to pretend their line is like you're in downtown. No. Gonna close within a year. Fail.com
