    I had to hop on here and give a massive shoutout to JJ, the bouncer at The Lincoln. I'm visiting from SF, and honestly, JJ made my experience in LA so much better. It's rare to find someone working the door who is as professional and genuinely kind as he is. From the moment we walked up, he was incredibly respectful and welcoming, which set such a great vibe for the whole night. You can tell he's just a high-quality character--he manages the crowd with ease and treats everyone with dignity. It was a huge bonus to run into such a professional while exploring the city. If you're heading to The Lincoln, look out for JJ. He's the best in the business!

    . They offer two kinds of non-alcoholic wine!! Woho! If you are sober or alcohol-free like me, you know how hard it is to find a bar that serves non-alcoholic wine. This bar popped up in my search a year ago while I was looking for bars in the Santa Monica area. This week, a friend and I were having dinner at a Santa Monica place and wanted to go out afterward. It was a Wednesday night, so we knew it was going to be chill. The place is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor areas. They have a long bar to sit by, couches, and some tables inside. The bartenders are nice and attentive. I really like that they offer alcohol-free wine. Will come Again! Easy, free street parking. Nice security guard at the front!

    Great chill vibe in this mellow bar with ultra Chill bartender Ashley. Came here on a Tuesday night for a cocktails and a mood to make everything alright! Sitting at da bar, listening to the playlist of rap that makes your feet tap! I can see this bar a thump'n on the weekends a-pump'en! Great local bar with that super chill feel! Viva L.A..! Our bartender has that unique persona that keeps you engaged with a chill vibe! No worries, cause every little thing is gonna be alright! Great bar! With Great Vibes!

    Came here for an event. Great vibes even for a weekday night. Our group was large so we made the spot busy. To drink, I had the cucumber/mint based drink (The Best Side)--tasty and refreshing. I liked the ambiance a lot. It's in an unassuming area, at least seemingly so. I'd come back

    Really enjoyed The Lincoln. The vibe is great--fun, lively, and perfect for a night out in Venice. The music was good and added a lot to the atmosphere without being too loud. Drinks were solid and well made, and the overall crowd was a good mix. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for good cocktails and a fun vibe.

    An amazing place!

    This is a magical place and it is a wonderful gem. I usually park in the residential area across the street and have no problem getting access to the establishment. The décor is very unique and fashionable with splashes of a rustic environment. The last time we came here, it was a large group and we were able to have some nice tacos with solid drinks. The water station is super helpful and the disco ball with the dope lights throughout the place made it all a vibe. There is plenty of room to sit, chat, stand, dance, and have a relaxing and lively evening altogether. The service is so nice and the staff is very quick with cleaning up tables. The restroom was clean and the DJ played amazing music all night long. Toward the end of the night after we ate dinner, we noticed that the dance floor was never empty. The songs he played spoke to at least one group out of our entire squad! What an amazing experience!

    To start off, this bar was a last minute plan that absolutely became the best choice of the night. As soon as I entered the place it smelled so good & they had heaters, which was amazing because it was a really cold night. Their patio is enclosed as well, & it's so aesthetic, with the disco ball & the vines. The bartender was also amazing, getting the drinks out fast, nice & efficient for the party of 20 I was in. Unfortunately they don't have any food , but they let you bring your own food which was still pretty good cause we ended up ordering pizzas & we were satisfied. Overall, this place has a really nice vibe. Would definitely come back !

    Great music, good drinks, & cool bartenders! Great place to have a drink & go dancing. Unfortunately some people can be sloppy, but it's a bar/club scene so that's expected. Cheers!

    This is a very nice bar with live music on some evenings. I came here for a Mezcal tasting event. We also had cocktails from the menu. The cocktails are well prepared. The ambiance is nice. The interior is furnished cozily with some hip bar area. Outdoor seating is in a relaxing type of greenhouse style.

    I was at the Lincoln last night hosting a private event from 7-10 p.m. it was my first time there and absolutely lovely! The staff is super accommodating and helpful and help so much in coordinating the event. The venue itself is beautiful, has a great ambiance with romantic lighting, garden whimsical vibes. Security that helped throughout the event was welcoming and kind while keeping us all safe, especially since it was a private event I was there hosting. The crowd was also great along with the DJ, tarot card reader as well as the mixologists behind the bar! The place is clean, calming and everyone was super welcoming and friendly. Almost every guest I checked in at the front made me laugh and it was just all around just great vibes all night long. Def no better place to spend your Thursday! Thanks for helping and supporting me throughout the event to make sure everything went smoothly throughout the night. Can't wait to be back!

    3.5/5 stars, but I'll round up to a 4. Good drinks and great ambiance! The DJ was ... interesting to say the least haha We arrived around 8PM with a group of 5. This was the PERFECT timing because it was still pretty dead and we were able to snag a table. If we came later, it'd be pretty hard to get a seat. Drinks were solid. Ended up trying the Cereal Killer and Daddy Don't Make Dinner. They also have a water station at both ends of the bar. We had a nice evening and was excited for the DJ to start. The bartender told us that the DJ starts at 9:30PM. The DJ ended up starting a little bit later, maybe more towards 9:45PM. By that time, it was starting to get pretty packed. The DJ played some Top 40 and had some interesting mixes/transitions. We were vibing with some of the choices, but not with other choices. We were getting ready to head out to get some ice cream. The last mix we heard was Tequila by the Champs mixed with Single Ladies by Beyonce. It was ... odd lol We left during that song. As we were leaving, the DJ transitioned to Lauryn Hill which was a great choice. But it was too late! We had already left haha Outside, there was quite a long line forming. Best move is definitely to come around 8PM and stay for the DJ if you vibe with the music choices.

    On my way to enjoy Lincoln's.

    Great dancing, awesome vibe/environment, and wonderful drinks make for a fun and enjoyable evening.

    What Music will you guys be playing this Sunday 12/21 & how packed does it get on a Sunday night? Looking to hanging out there possibly for My birthday

    We always have open format DJs so they play to the vibe/crowd. It's pretty mellow on Sundays - especially compared to the Fri/Sat crowd.

    Do you have a DJ every Friday and Saturday evening? If so, what time?

    We do! They start at 930pm

    Do you ever play jazz?

    We don’t unfortunately!

    Do you need a reservation before 8pm tonight?

    Hello! We are typically very mellow during the week so it’s easy to come in a grab a table. No reservations required. See you soon!

    Is there a dj on Thursday nights?

    There is!

    Is it less packed on a Sunday or Monday night around 1130pm?

    Yes, we’re quite mellow on weeknights :)

    Do you have karaoke some nights?

    We do not unfortunately

    What time should I get there to get a seat for the Washington game Sunday ? Traveling from a couple hours away, heard this is the spot for Redskin fans

    Hi Kevin :) I think you might have us confused with a different bar - we don’t have TVs!

    What type of music on Saturday nights?

    We have a range of DJs so it depends on the night - I would say mostly top 40, hip hop and radio house. Definitely a dance-party type of set list.

    I would love to have my 65 th Birthday Party. Would I be able to have a live band for Music and catered food?

    Hi Teresa, thank you for thinking of us! We don’t have live bands at our venue unfortunately. Feel free to reach out to info@thelincolnvenice.com for more information on booking an event or party :)

    What time the Dj starts on Friday?

    930!

    Is there a happy hour? If so, when is it and what are the happy hour specials?

    Hello! We have specials Sunday-Thursdays (all night) Sunday is a $9 shot and a beer special, Monday is 9 Old Fashioned, Tuesday is $9 margaritas, Wednesday is $9 whiskey specials and Thursday is $9 Old Fashioned and margaritas. Hope to see you soon!

    Any Sunday evening events, any music?

    We have DJs Tues-Sun!

    Love the chics but do any guys go to this place?

    Is there a DJ tomorrow evening 11/23?

    Yes, 2 actually!

    Is there a dj tonight?

    Always!

    Are you open New Years 1/1 ? Is there live music?

    Of course! We have a DJ starting at 930pm that night

    Do you have foosball table?

    We do not!

    Do you play live jazz music on fridays?

    We do not - we have a DJ at 9pm on Fridays

    Are you back open?

    Hi we are open 7 days a week

Don't skip the fries. They're some of the best things I've eaten. I dream about those fries. The Peruvian scallops are dreamy. Very light, very refreshing. The same can be said about the cucumber salad. The standout of the evening was by far the burger. I've been to Dudley Market a handful of times, and I'd yet to try it. I'm so glad that I did. It was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had before. I highly recommend ordering this. Overall, Dudley Market is a fantastic restaurant in Venice Beach and I hope it stays our neighborhood spot for a long time.

I wasn't sure I would like it or not, but I can tell you I ended up eating it all. It was awesome, every single dish! I'm going here again...even without her haha! We started with the focaccia which was delicious, although it tastes different than what gluten made focaccia tastes like. It was very light and crisp, not as rustic as regular gluten made, and even more enjoyable with the spiced olive oil that accompanied it. As an appetizer we tried the fried stuffed squash blossom with minted ricotta. OMG!! That was SO incredibly tasty! We definitely want that again... and we will later Today! I had the pasta Bolognese and my friend had the fish and chips which we shared and we both loved each of them. The fish was so crispy and delicious and it came with gluten-free fries which were also awesome. We had two glasses of wine which we loved, and we were very impressed with our server, Cameron, who is obviously an expert on their impressively large wine collection. He is a legitimate wine connoisseur. I asked a couple of ridiculous questions, yet he answered them so politely with his highly knowledgable answer. He was such a wonderful SOMM as well as a very friendly and personable server... with a wonderful sense of humor. So. I want people who are not gluten-free to know it's good to try to try this place. Everything is not only tasty but beautifully presented and the room is so cozy. If you're worried about trying gluten-free don't be. I asked Cameron's opinions on the food and I'll tell you he did not steer us wrong. Highly recommended by both of us; My friend with Celiac disease and myself who professors to be 'normal' (not gluten free). Oh.. we could not fit in dessert, but are very sad not to have been able to. There was a a beautiful display of luscious looking desserts that we will also have to go back for tonight, we must try to make room for one this evening or at least take a couple to go. Enjoy it!
