Had a great time here watching USA v Turkey. The mead is fantastic! My car key fob slipped out of my pocket and despite it being a totally packed house -- Chris and the staff recovered it and returned it to me! Thanks for making my day, I will be back! read more

This place was just okay for me. We stopped by for taco Tuesday and their happy hour. Tacos were decently priced and the beef taco was actually really good. The jack fruit taco was beyond horrible. I had to spit it out. My husband couldn't even eat it. And he likes everything. The drinks were good and staff was really friendly. I just felt their menu limited. Chips and salsa with guac was good too. I just feel like for a beachy surf vibe, they could offer more for their happy hour taco Tuesdays menu. read more

Super nice looking place. The ambiance and the the deco was beautiful. The food was delicious. We had the sautéed mushrooms, a fish taco and a quesadilla. Everything was tasty. Prob the best quesadilla we've had outside of home. I do wish they had like a 2 taco combo thing. But it was fine, I had mushrooms instead! Service was there, just wasn't welcoming It was trivia night so there were plenty of people chasing them gift cards! lol There was a dj there but I think he was the owner...or manager or something lol Good music We're here for a week for the us women's open so I'm sure I'll be back read more

Great vibes indeed! They offer a good selection of bar foods on their menu, from burgers to burritos. You'll sure to find something you will enjoy. They have all day breakfast, and trivia nights on Tuesdays. I only tried their tater tots, which was good. My only complaint was that they need to make the portions more generous! The inside is, cozy and intimate, I love the design. A great place for a date or or a place to come by and relax during the week after a long day. Have a seat on their patio for a good view of downtown Santa Monica. read more

As a regular at the Carson location I was excited to check this out and I was not disappointed! It was surprisingly empty for a Friday night but despite its busy location there was plenty of meter street parking and even a parking garage in the street over. It feels boujee on the inside and I loved the intimidate set up. The workers were all very friendly and helpful too. The food and drink menu was pretty big. There are a lot of shareable that perfect to go with some drinks. We got a pitcher of the bombegranate cider which is my favorite but some of the cocktails seemed really interesting too. The shareable steak was pretty decent and cooked well. The fries seemed like end pieces though and our whole batch only had really small ones or half pieces so it was kinda disappointing. Overall I would still come back here, SoCal is my favorite brewery so it's cool to see them expanding! read more

So so excited this place opened up! I have been to the Venice location a couple of times and it doesn't even compare to this one. The space is great! It's spacious, comfortable and such a vibe. There is ample seating which just isn't a thing at the other location plus the staff here are awesome. Everyone is so friendly, accommodating and attentive. We came here last night with two friends and got everything pretty quickly. The menu is great! It's honestly such a great deal for what you get and the ciders are amazing. The sex wax is so good and as far as cocktails go I thought the mangotini was excellent! The food was also great; we got some fries, tacos and a wrap and no complaints. We live down the street and are looking forward to coming here regularly. Definitely stop by and grab some great drinks and a good time vibe ) read more

I'm not sure where to start with this place! It might be the incredible "California vibes" that you get as soon as you enter to the moment you leave (go to the bathroom...trust me)...or the way everything just feels effortlessly dialed in. The ambience alone is a 10/10. It's relaxed but intentional, stylish without trying too hard, and somehow manages to feel both like a laid-back beach spot and a place you'd pick for a special night out. You really feel like you're in Santa Monica, in the best way possible. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was prompt, genuinely friendly and clearly knew the menu inside and out. The recommendations were spot on, which made the whole experience feel easy and unrushed, like they actually want you to enjoy yourself, not just turn tables. And the food...honestly, no notes. Every single thing we tried was a hit. We had one of every appetizer. Esther's meatballs were rich and comforting, the shrimp skewers were perfectly cooked and flavorful and the ceviche was bright and fresh without being overly acidic. I heard that this is a secret family recipe! The steak appetizer was tender and satisfying. The cheese plate was thoughtfully put together with a variety of cheeses, jams and nuts!!! AWESOME! I've been thinking about the tiramisu since we left! It deserves its own review! All homemade in-house, The tiramisu deserves its own moment. It wasn't just an afterthought dessert. It felt like a carefully finished chapter to the entire meal. Perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with that ideal contrast between the light, airy mascarpone and the rich espresso-soaked layers beneath it. You could actually taste the coffee without it overpowering everything else, and the texture was spot on. I'm talking bout SOFT, CREAMY and indulgent without feeling heavy. I THINK I COULD TASTE THE LOVE that I know they made it with!!! What really stood out was how fresh it tasted. Nothing soggy, nothing overly dense, just clean flavors that came together effortlessly. It's the kind of tiramisu you keep taking "one more bite" of, even when you're already full, and then immediately regret not ordering a second one to go. If you're even remotely considering dessert here, don't skip it!!! This alone is worth coming back for. The drinks deserve just as much credit, especially if you're into ciders or brandy. We went with the cider flight, which was easily one of the most fun parts of the day. It's a great way to sample a range of flavors, and honestly, every single one we tried was a hit. The life's a peach was bright and refreshing, the chai pumpkin spice somehow managed to be seasonal without being overwhelming...The Mexican lollipop (watermelon habanero) was my partners favorite and had that perfect sweet-heat balance that sneaks up on you in the best way! They also make their own apple brandy so if you're feeling fun get one! I think the Mangotini is a must. It's a mango-forward cocktail that leans into those tropical flavors without being overly sweet and it comes served in a tiki glass that immediately sets the tone. It's one of those drinks that turns heads when it hits the table and somehow tastes even better than it looks. Fun, well-balanced and very on-brand for the whole SoCal vibe of the place. I think I had 2 or 3 of them and I was feeling GREAT! Overall, this place just gets it. Great food, great people, great energy. It's one of those spots you immediately want to come back to and bring friends along. If you're around...or even if you're not, this place is WORTH THE TRIP!!!! read more

Finally open on Mondays! Great service, breakfast all day and great vibes! What's not to love! New usual spot for sure!

If you're not at SoCal Vibes on a Tuesday night, what are you even doing? This place has quietly become the only correct answer for trivia night in Santa Monica. You walk in and immediately get hit with that perfect coastal energy. Let's start with trivia: actually fun, actually competitive, and not painfully long or awkward. The host (KYLE) knows how to keep the energy up. The cider selection? Elite. Crisp, cold, dangerously easy to keep ordering 10/10, will absolutely be back every week. read more

Walked up to SoCal Vibes when in Santa Monica for the day and loved the easygoing vibes. The bartender Devin was SO friendly and welcoming. Immediately asked if we wanted to try a couple of her favorites. Set the good vibes immediately! The cantaloupe mead she had us try was honesty one of the best drinks I have ever had. Really enjoyed it and wished I was in town for their infamous Tuesday Trivia Night. read more

This place is so tasty. Burger with pineapple - yes please! The tater tots were delicious as well, perfectly crispy crunchy outside and tummy in the middle with great seasoning. We also tried the bacon jam burger, which was also awesome. Excellent people (or delivery robot) watching spot as well. Overall the vibes were vibing! read more

Food was so amazing - cannot recommend the chicken Caesar wrap or bacon jam burger enough. Prices were very fair as well. Thank you!

SoCal Vibes is exactly what the name promises! Such an awesome space to grab a drink with friends and hang out. They have craft cider flights, meads, and a great food selection. Located right near the water in downtown Santa Monica so the location could not be more convenient. Whether you are meeting up with friends, showing an out of towner the lay of the land, or wanting to find a good social hang out on the weekend, SoCal vibes is it! read more

Everything about this place was great - vibes, drinks, food, people! Joe was manning the bar/food orders by himself and was still so attentive to everyone. Customer service on point! Would definitely come back! Extra point for getting us some ranch dressing! Hahah. read more

Food is delicious, love their taco Tuesday!! Staff are so nice! Gorgeous restaurant -- Highly recommend!!

Excellent ciders and food. I tried the spicy Mexican lollipop, the PB&J, and the Pina ciders. All were great. Not overly sweet like ciders can be. The bacon jam burger was great, as were the tots. Try this place out read more

Such a great vibe all around, so fun for trivia on Tuesday nights! Incredible food and service!! Can't wait to be back!

Staff are extremely friendly. The bacon jam burger is excellent. It has more brewery than bar vibes, which is nice for conversation. Unfortunately, the ciders and meads are not for me, too sweet. We also found the meatballs disappointing. Glad to see more casual places coming back to Santa Monica. If you miss Stout and like ciders/meads this place might be great. read more

Deevo provided great service! She is a wonderful bartender and the drinks were very good
