Intimate setting speakeasy, perfect sized room, great for date night and conversations. Nothing memorable or impressive, not bad if you're around the area and want to stop by for quick drinks. Left after one drink, and went to another bar. Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean). read more

I loved this bar. It was such a vibe. Very dark and moody, and served up great drinks. Located in santa monica, its a great spot to walk to from a few other eateries. I had the french 75 and it was tasty. We werent there long but it was busy for a Thursday night, would love to come back. read more

I am glad we literally stumbled into this place. Speakeasy vibes: small, dark, moody, great music and true mixologists behind the bar. The menu highlights unique flavors and the descriptions are fun to read. The bartenders are happy to explain ingredients and make recommendations. I really appreciated this fun and unique spot. read more

Luxe mini bar with chic lounge furniture and bites if you're there early enough. The Honey be Cool cocktail here was my favorite. It's a mild spicy level and featured delicious ingredients, a dried lime and had a smooth boozy taste with dressed salt. Overall my friends and I all loved our drinks and enjoyed touring each-other's selections. The staff here were professional, and paid good attention to detail. While there is limited seating, The inside is very intimate perfect for a night cap of occupancy allows. Sadly we arrived after their kitchen closed, but would love trying their bar food sometime! read more

We came here around 6:30/6:45 pm on Saturday night for a drink before our dinner reservations nearby at 7:30. The drinks were fine - I ordered Honey Be Cool and my husband ordered Naughty Peach. I was not overly impressed with mine and my husband's tasted like an odd mix of ingredients. It was fairly quiet since it was so early (I'm assuming it may get busier later). That said, the service was awful. We waited 20+ minutes to be acknowledged and when we finally were able to order, we had to ask for the check immediately because we didn't want to miss our reservation. It would have been fine if one of the bartenders had at least hit us with "I'll be with you in a minute." Overall, it was a disappointing experience for what seems like a cozy, dark bar that should have tasty, unique cocktails. read more

What the actual shit! Please tell the bartender to NOT freaking touch the ice while making a drink. Not just touch but putting it in his palm and omg yuks... Freaking disgusting read more

Great for a date night or intimate catch up with friends! The lowlight aesthetic adds to the romantic atmosphere but this bar can also be enjoyed in a platonic setting as well. The server was able to deliver me a delicious mocktail that was topped with a slice of orange. I will be back :) read more

It was such a cool vibey place. Perfect size room - Perfect cozy hideaway date spot! Drinks were delicious, and the service was excellent.

Very dark little cocktail bar in Santa Monica. I love the vibe here and the drinks are honestly delicious. I always end up wandering in here and never have a bad time! read more

Stopped into Bar Chloe for the first time in a while. Same old-school, classy vibe as always, the bartender was friendly, and the cocktails were decent. Low rating because they've jumped on the trend of sneaking a surprise 20% service fee onto your tab at the end. In CA you're supposed to communicate this fee prominently to the customer, before they order. I had to go back and view Yelp photos, which show it's on the bottom of the menu in the smallest type possible, in a lounge that's so dark you need a candle or cellphone to even read the normal typeface. Sad to see a classy place go this route, as it means Bar Chloe is off our list - we don't go back to places that use this tactic, and make a point of warning others about it. read more

Rather in love with this little spot I was just introduced to! A rather anonymous door is set into the building past the entrance to the hotel. It opened up about 6:03 with a group already starting to form outside. The inside is elegant and muted. Happy hour from 6:30-7:30. Had an amazing craft cocktail from a bartender who shook it like he meant it! Will be back. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Bar Chloe on Saturday night and ordered two drinks and three appetizers. Bar Chloe is deceiving customers with its billing practices. They add a 20% mandatory service charge to every check, but then label it on the bill as a "tip." That's misleading and potentially illegal under California law, where tips must be voluntary and service charges must be clearly identified as such. By disguising a mandatory fee as a tip, Bar Chloe is tricking customers into thinking they're supporting staff when in reality, the business controls where that money goes. This is a textbook case of unfair and deceptive business practices. If you care about consumer rights, avoid this bar and report them to the City of Santa Monica's Consumer Protection Division. There are plenty of bars in Santa Monica that operate transparently. Bar Chloe is not one of them. read more

I was treated to a space cowboy by Ivan who entertained myself and a number of customers single handedly carrying the bar, I had a perfectly crafted cocktails and quickly poured it is a great experience. The space cowboy is perfect if you like citrus and mint drink this slowly and enjoy the dark ambiance read more

I am very glad my friend and I stumbled across this bar. Right when we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. Everything was very minimalistic and chic. I loved the music playlist that night; they played majority RnB and Hip Hop. The drinks were fantastic! The first drink I ordered was Hotel Nacional, which was so smooth, flavorful, and well mixed. The second drink was the bartender's choice. I wanted something with whiskey, and went with his recommendation. The bartender was very friendly and skilled at his craft. I can't emphasize enough how awesome this place was! I loved the drinks and the environment! read more

Bar Chloe is a cute little spot, but why does someone told me that they had a rooftop? The drinks here are amazing but I will say that they do the whole added 20% gratuity just FYI. It's a cozy little spot with the bar and the sofas on the sides. This place is perfect for a cute date night spot or a girls night out. read more

Had a good time here at Chloe. It's a nice cozy lounge with a great atmosphere with good music and good vibes. The cocktails were great and the service was fantastic and friendly. The lounge was quite enough to have a conversation. Definitely a cool after dinner place to hang out and drink with friends. read more

Cozy spot for some nice cocktails. Bar Chloe has some nice bar seating as well as couches for bigger groups. The cocktails are well made and they have a very interesting selection. They do put a flat 20% gratuity on the tab but they are very clear when they give you the check. read more

pretty nice place. food was good, bartender was friendly. drinks were definitely pricey but it made for a fun night :3

Favorite bar lounge in Santa Monica. Great drinks, good music (I remember when they had a portable stereo speaker, now it's legit), and friendly staff and just a chill vibe overall. Not many - if any - cocktail bars you can just rely on overall in the area. read more

This is our quick stop after a busy week to grab drinks with friends and catch up, great ambiance and nice cocktails

Lovely drinks and lovely time. My husband and I go back often. It is after all the place where we first met. We were told once that many couples have met and had gotten married after meeting there. I'm not surprised. It's a romantic setting. The building its self feels little bit 'Old Hollywood' romantic. Lights are dim. And drinks are delicious. Perfect setting for a before or after dinner drink. Enjoy Bar Chloe! It's been 6 years since we first met there! We think we may have an anniversary party there. read more

Good vibes. The music was chill, they have their own unique drinks, the one I had was similar to a Margarita. Great service. Would recommend. 8/10 read more

Such a neat, neat place and the bartender was as sweet as could be! Delicious cocktails too!

Cute atmosphere, amazing cocktails. This bar tender is paying attention to detail. The calamari was pretty bland even with the dip but the truffle fries were bomb dot com Would like to try other food menu items to tell weather it's good but the drinks were on point. read more

They added a mandatory 20% tip on our bar tab for 2 people and 4 drinks. Never was that disclosed before they charged us. I don't go to places that operate illegally. read more

Great lounge in Santa Monica if you are looking for somewhere that is vibey and actually has well crafted cocktails. It felt sophisticated yet fun which is a difficult mix to come by these days. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the vibes!!! Would totally come back any day. The bartender was so nice and informative.

Super cute and hidden spot! The interior of this bar has a good feel and the space is quite large with a bar area and quite a few small couches. Dim lightening and dark colored interior create a speakeasy feel. Bar was surprisingly empty (on a Wednesday though). So it's a good spot for an intimate evening and a drink. Highly recommend! read more

Great vibes and bar tenders in here. I went on a Wednesday evening around 7pm and we beat the crowd. Lovely atmosphere inside and delicious "the last word" with Mezcal. Chefs kiss. read more

Very cute bar to get drinks at. It is a small area so seating can be tricky. But a very nice place to have a date night. All the drinks are well made. read more

A nice oasis from the touristy madness of the area. I do love this place. I sometimes wonder how this place stays open given how empty it is every time I go in there, but I'll keep going back as long as they're open for their friendly, attentive staff and excellent drinks. (I just used there/they're/their in a sentence without even trying) read more

Great Ambiance, great cocktails, great service, a bit dead while I was there (Thursday night in late summer) though so I'll have to check it out again. read more

Great spot for a quiet and classy (but not fancy) happy hour. Classic bar food to snack on, well-made drinks from attentive servers, and a good overall dim-lit and comfy vibe. Not a ton of seats and certainly busier on the weekends given the central downtown location, but I like it here. It's a nice respite from the tourists and the promenade and the beach shacks. read more
