Eat
The Lobster
One of the few restaurants in Santa Monica that has a view of the Pacific Ocean. The Lobster provides good seafood dishes, great cocktails and a little bit of a scene. While a little noisy and on the expensive side (from $120 for two with alcohol), the food, fun and view can make it worthwhile.
Drink
Britannia Pub
Small but very friendly Brit style pub, popular with locals and budget travelers. Good and cheap snacks and meals.
Drink
Ye Olde Kings Head
Kings Head
British style pub that is a notable hangout for tourists, celebrities and locals. Favorite amongst local Brits to watch football and play pub quiz on Tuesdays. Has excellent fish and chips.
Do
Third Street Promenade
A very successful Urban mall project: a vibrant, outdoor street full of restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, bookstores, and bars. Those who enjoy street performances will be impressed by the quality of musicians, dancers, and others. The Promenade is located only three blocks from the beach, the Promenade is one of L.A.'s most popular places to "hang out" for people of all ages.
