Bars and pubs in Santa Monica

  1. DrinkPub

    Fathers Office

    Excellent burgers in this popular pub. Offers beers from over 20 different micro-breweries, a nice wine selection, but alas no full bar. The other downside is that it's a small space and very popular so long lines quickly spring up. Don't try to change any of the items on the burger - it's their way or the highway. For fun, try to sneak in ketchup.
