    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

This also wasn't the first time. On several recent visits, the same customer sits in the corner working on his laptop while allowing his large black-and-brown dog to wander throughout the restaurant instead of keeping it close by. It made both friends and myself uncomfortable enough that we chose to leave each time. As someone who was attacked by a dog as a child, this is especially difficult for me. I actually have a dog of my own, so this isn't about disliking dogs. I completely understand that this is a very dog-friendly neighborhood, and I have no issue with dogs when they're leashed, supervised, and under their owner's control. I hope the restaurant returns to enforcing those expectations so everyone--including guests who may have fears, allergies, or simply prefer not to have dogs roaming around--can enjoy the space again. I've always liked this place and would love to feel comfortable coming back.

Yuzu and passionfruit provided sweetness and tang while elements such as mitsuba, chili, and lava salt added umami and contrast.

The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.
