The Veranda Bar at Casa Del Mar Hotel

Daydream as you gaze at the sand and sea

  • Special Martini Menu
  • Live Evening Entertainment
  • Open 7 days a week

The Casa's architecture is opulent and grand and full of style. Wide winding staircases curve to ornate iron balustrades. Overhead, handsome light fixtures illuminate the shiny marble and tile floor treatments. Large fireplaces and couch-filled gathering areas welcome and comfort the crowd. Off to the left, the library and sports bar creates yet another pocket of activity. On clearer days, the gigantic windows suck in 180-degree views of the gorgeous Pacific Ocean.

Glance around. You may notice how beautiful the people are here - from the front desk staff to the entertainment industry types that mill through the bar. Pretty servers slither about the lounge. This is people-watching paradise. in fact, Casa del Mar is such a local hotspot on weekends, you?ll sheepishly feel like a VIP as you?re whisked to your reserved seating area

Editorial Review for The Veranda Bar at Casa Del Mar Hotel – by Kerry A. Martinez

The Scene
This beachfront bar is located in the swanky 1920s-style Hotel Casa Del Mar. The elegant lounge attracts entertainment's elite, but don't let that be a deterrent. The chic yet relaxed atmosphere overrides the assumption that it's strictly industry attitude and ego here. Go ahead and pitch a screenplay to the producer perched on the neighboring bar stool--after a couple of martinis, he just might be receptive. Men without the means to afford multiple rounds should lower their expectations; women will have a much better chance of hooking up with Mr. Right.

The Draw
The crowd consists of a mix of DKNY-suited studio execs and black-clad club-hoppers who range from 20- to 40-somethings. Make sure to get there early on Friday or Saturday night to snag a seat.

Been going there for years, and they have brought in some great employee's. New guy Justin is very charismatic and very good at people skills...girls say he is also easy on the eyes, well I guess I see that. Go there, you will be treated very well.

this is a nice place for a date or for just relaxing. you could even bring your mom here and she would like it. unless your dad is also there at the bar hitting on the 21 year olds! ha! it sort of has a reputation for older men picking up younger women here, more than most bars anyway. the views are beautiful, the service smart. drinks can be pricey. you can order food too. sometimes there is nice live music.

Pros: views are gorgeous

Cons: drink prices high
