Opinions de The Venice Whaler Beverly Hills
While in LA I wanted to visit Venice Beach and have dinner close to the water. This place was perfect for that. They have multiple setups. They have a tent, patio and upstairs patio. The vibe here is amazing even on a weeknight. The service was excellent. Our waitress Shelby was beyond kind and very attentive. I ordered a pizza because I had seen other reviews and it looked really good. I was not let down. The pizza was great! The drink I ordered was also very well made. This is a spot I will definitely look forward to next time I'm in town.
One of my favorite spots when visiting LA. But you need to bring back the chowder fries!! Not sure why they disappeared but everyone used to order the Chowder Fries!! Great margaritas that are very potent here too!
This was our first evening in LA, and The Venice Whaler set the tone perfectly. The atmosphere was vibrant and relaxed—exactly what you want by the beach. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. I had the fish and chips, and they were excellent—the panade was especially well done: crispy, golden, and full of flavor without being greasy. Overall, a great spot to kick off our trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good vibes and good food in Venice!
Stopped by for a quick snack with my puppy and we both enjoyed the food and service. Typical American fare, attentive service, pup got his water bowl as soon as we got seated, the wings were extra crispy which we love!
The Venice Whaler is highly recommended! You'll be welcomed by friendly staff in a fantastic Venice Beach setting, and the food is simply delicious. Must have, must seen!!!
Venice Whaler is the perfect spot to grab drinks and food after catching the sunset from the Venice boardwalk. It’s got that classic beachside bar feel, but with great food, strong drinks, and a vibe that can match whatever kind of night you’re looking for. I started with the coconut shrimp appetizer, and honestly, that alone was more than enough for a meal. The portion was huge, and the shrimp were crispy, flavorful, and paired with a great dipping sauce. I went in thinking I’d follow it up with an entrée, but by the time I finished, I was completely satisfied. Now, let’s talk about the Whaler Margarita—this drink does not mess around. By the time I finished my first, I was already feeling it, but it was so good I couldn’t stop at just one. I ended up having three total before heading out (don’t worry, I took a Waymo back to my room), and they were consistently delicious, well-balanced, and exactly what you want from a beachside bar margarita. Service was also a highlight. My waitress, Veronica, was beyond sweet—seriously, the kind of service that makes you want to come back just for the experience. Attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The upstairs bar was packed and way rowdier than I was in the mood for. But the downstairs patio was absolutely perfect. Even though it was a chilly night, the outdoor heaters were placed just right, keeping things warm while still letting you soak in the fresh ocean air. From my seat, I had a great view of the water and could still people-watch as folks strolled by on the street out front. Overall, Venice Whaler delivered exactly what I was looking for—great food, strong drinks, and a laid-back but lively beachside vibe. I’ll definitely be back.
This is a must stop by! From when we walked in, we were greeted by Lala and she was so sweet and welcoming. The happy hour was a great deal and delicious!! I got the yummiest coconut drink. The music was great. This place is such a vibe upstairs xx
Loved this place! Fish tacos were the best drinks were really good! Rooftop view of the Venice pier was breathtaking. Will be back!
Fantastic view from upstairs. The food was absolutely divine and portion sizes were plenty sufficient. The servers were super friendly and welcoming. Wished we'd known about this place sooner as we would have eaten all our meals here!! Will definitely come back if staying in the area again!
Great vibe, very fun/beachy atmosphere. I visited at night but this would be a great spot to watch the sunset. Service was top tier, the bartender, Erin, was amazing and extremely efficient. The tuna crispy rice had too much rice for my taste, but the house made guacamole was perfect. Overall, happy hour is a great deal for the pricing.
Love that it’s on the beach. I really enjoyed the avocado falafel salad. It’s a fun place to be in. It wasn’t too crowded which is great since it’s a Sunday. Quick service too. Definitely recommend it as a spot for brunch.
I had a great experience here! I ordered the seafood plate and everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The drinks were amazing too — especially the cocktails, really well balanced and not watered down at all. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, and the whole place was super clean with a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit — I would 100% come back!
One of my favorite places to visit after taking my dogs to the beach is the Venezuela. They have quality bar bites great service and of course, a beautiful view sitting right near the Venice pier. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Great and delicious food, fast service, lovely and kind staff, cute and cozy atmosphere with a great view. 10/10. As a New yorker, who always find something to complain about, i am impressed, have 0 complaints and definitely will recommend this place to my friends. Updates: This place is truly THE BEST in LA. A girl, who was serving me, was an angel. Hope, she will take care of you also.
I visited with my parents from the East Coast, and we had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, and being right by the beach made it perfect for a nice walk. The clam chowder and buffalo wings were especially delicious. Thank you for giving us such a great memory for our first trip to the West Coast.
The food was absolutely amazing! The best fish 'n' chips I've ever had!!! The service was great! If you're wondering if you should eat here, here's your answer: Yes!
Awesome staff and great atmosphere! The oysters and mussels were incredibly fresh—highly recommend both. It’s the perfect spot to watch football while enjoying music right on the beach. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
After a walk on the beach, we were looking for some cold drinks and a little snack to tide us over until dinner. Stopped in at this casual looking beach bar and ordered a couple of drinks and some tacos. The drinks were cold and the tacos were delicious. It wasn’t too crowded so it was easy to have a conversation and relax. Prices were a bit high but not totally out of place with other establishments in the area. The wait staff was super pleasant and helpful. Great people watching spot.
Great service and amazing food! The burger was incredibly juicy, the fish tacos were super fresh and flavorful, and everything came out perfectly. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

I had the Whaler smash burger and the buffalo chicken wings, and both were so good. The food really hit the spot, the service was friendly, and the lively beachside atmosphere made it even better.
Great view, attentive service, and great food. We snacked on the coconut shrimp and poke nachos
Great place with a great location. You do have to pay $6 to park in the beach parking lot between the restaurant and the ocean but that wasn't too big of a deal.\nService is excellent and the view …

Visited here for Happy Hour - Taco Tuesday. Food and drinks were delicious and very reasonable. Sat on the patio and had a beautiful view of the ocean.

This fun, exuberant restaurant is right near the water and is a great place to have a casual meal with fun music. We were seated right away and ordered both food and drinks, and while we waited, w…
Absolutely delicious! We ordered a sushi bowl and a burger and loved both. The spicy tuna was a great choice for the bowl. The fry basket was ginormous too and we couldn't finish everything. Honestly for the quality, taste, and quantity, worth the higher price. Our waitress was great but the other staff was a little frustrating.
Fish sandwich was great until I got to the middle and then it was too tough to eat. French fries were really good. Staff was super nice
We came for Happy Hour. I had the Californication to drink. It was refreshing but a little tart for me. The spicy tuna rice cakes were delicious. The clam chowder was good also, they put bacon in it, which is different for me but it was a nice touch! My husband got the fish tacos and said they were “taco-ey” but he said he enjoyed them.
Not the best food we’ve had but still pretty decent, and the service was amazing ! The atmosphere on the outside terrace was so nice :) Thank you Joanna !
They let us sit with our puppy outside which was great! The CLAM CHOWDER was good, the MUSCLES were great and the sauce was good for dipping. Tacos were decent. Overall a good option after the beach!
Amazing fish and chips, close to the beach, great views while dining. The breakfast burger is very good too.
I had dinner at the Venice Whaler and really enjoyed the experience. The food was good, and the service was friendly and attentive. We started with the calamari for appetizers — fresh and nicely cooked. For mains, I had the cod fish sandwich, which was excellent, and the smashed burger, which was also very good. The outdoor seating is beautiful, with a great view of the pier. Overall, a great spot to enjoy good food and a relaxed atmosphere by the beach
We were here around 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon with a lively buzz happening in the area. We sat outside so we really didn't get to experience what it was like inside. But given that the place has been around for over 80 years, it was easy to overlook it's somewhat shabby digs. The food, service and the fact that it's steps from Venice Beach and close to the Canals more than made up for it. We would definitely go back. It's an 'institution'!
My husband and I were riding our bikes along the beach and were ready for some lunch. The spot has a perfect location right off the beach. Honestly, it looks like you had the best atmosphere on these couple blocks. Paulina our server was fantastic! Per her recommendations my husband absolutely loved the fish tacos And my Philly cheesesteak is also good. Drinks are good. Atmosphere is fantastic even on a cloudy day!
Dinner at The Venice Whaer and ordered the big seafood plate to share. The fried shrimp and fish were crispy and well seasoned, without feeling too heavy. Fries were plentiful and stayed crunchy, and the coleslaw added a fresh contrast to the fried portions. The tartar sauce was creamy and worked perfectly with the fish. The whole platter is generous, easy to split, and ideal for a casual dinner by the water. Lively atmosphere and quick service make it a solid spot if you’re in the area and want something simple and tasty.
Two people in our group got sick from the fish tacos. Our waiter did not know what Miller Lite beer was and brought us a Miller High Life. The bathrooms were dirty. The vibe was fun but overprice…
The place needs a good cleaning. Tables inside and out were sticky and dirty. Floors - were pretty bad. restroom - again - really nasty.
I tried couple tacos and all of them was nice, except their BBQ Wings.\n\nView was great/staff was nice&cool\n\nI wish their menus and table was not sticky and chairs were cleaner.
We had dinner and drinks here after an early evening stroll down Venice promenade. It was absolutely buzzing and we got one of the last tables outside. On reflection I think an upstairs table on th…
Cool place, great for people watching. It's a little rough 'n' ready but that's half the charm, food was pretty reasonable, good beer selection, great music and service was ok. Good place to com…
They have some great food from the whaler. I recommend their philly cheesesteaks. Lots of their stuff is overpriced.
Came here for a birthday gathering over a weekend. Their outdoor patio was packed and lively. There's really convenient parking just a few steps away.\n\nService was friendly, but very slow. My fri…
We had 3 people in my party. We ordered a pizza, beers and a salad. The service and the food were very good. We enjoyed the stunning views as it is right off the ocean. We've eaten here a few times…
Staff is nice. parking can get tricky but lots are an option. Food solid but you are likely coming here for the experience of socializing. Pricing and portions are fair at this hip causal spot.
Sadly, this was a huge disappointment. The fish and chips looked promising but they were both crispy and dry not in a good way. Part of the fish was actually raw and hard inside which makes me think it was fried straight from frozen. Definitely not worth it.

The Venice Whaler: Where Good Times and Great People Meet
The Venice Whaler has always been a beacon along the coast, a true institution in the Venice area. It’s the kind of spot that feels woven into the very fabric of the community, and for good reason. From what I’ve heard, and experienced through the buzz, it’s not just the ocean breeze or the consistent grub that keeps people coming back; it's the genuine warmth of the crew.Take Benny, for instance. He’s often holding court upstairs, working his magic behind the bar and serving up smiles. Folks
