absolutely loved the strange and dim aesthetic of this bar. it's a small bar, very intimate and full of events on a day to day basis. some days they do karaoke, open mics, and other social events (i was there for a millennials singles mixer). the bartenders are super sweet and attentive! one guy i met there mentioned going to the bar specifically to socialize and catch up with them, because they're that cool. glad i discovered this spot through the event since im new to the area. it's the perfect place to come hang by yourself or with a friend. they are also in business with a spot next door (i believe it's called the brixton) and you can order food. they bring it to you, which was a plus. read more

Weary Livers - Karaoke - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Such a fun and eclectic themed bar. I've been here for the different seasonal decorations, and they have their signature giant skeleton that is a great picture opportunity. From gothic to whimsical, it's a great place to meet up with friends or a first date. I also inquired and they rent the space for any type of celebration you want. They have a nice variety of soju cocktails, beers, wines, and mocktails for the sober drivers. If you get hungry, they also offer food ordering available for the Brixton. Another awesome thing about this place is all the events they always have here. When you're bored and want to be entertained, they have game night, trivia night, comedy, open mic, dating, karaoke, and even different industry networking. Basically something for everyone. In addition, they have 5 big screen TVs to catch the sport of the season. The vibe is neighborhood chill, with a welcoming feel for anyone coming into this side of town. Parking: meters which are free after 6pm, as well as a small shared lot in the back. Prices: $6-$16 Food: available for order Drink options: beer, wine, soju cocktails, mocktails Atmosphere: friendly bartenders, a cosmopolitan mix of people, fun place to hang with friends, meet new ones, or find a partner read more

Not bad at all! I was here with my coworker last night, trying out their karaoke night. I had a pretty good time, and so did he. The beers there were really delicious, and the bartenders were very friendly. The bar was a great place to meet people, and sing the night away. At the end of the night, I spent $22.15. If I'm ever in this area, I will definitely come back. read more

An ideal spot for a small, close-knit group of friends! The owner is very responsive and welcoming. I love the concept of providing a space for different group games and parties -- the atmosphere really puts you in a fun mood. It's also super convenient that you can bring your own food or order directly from the bar from the restaurant next door. For now, it's a nice, quiet place where you can actually talk and enjoy each other's company. A hidden gem! read more

Weary Livers is fun, professional, clean and has great drinks. I produce a monthly stand-up comedy show called "Night Class Comedy" and we wanted to find a fun bar to hold our end of the year celebration. We chose Weary Livers and we were not dissapointed! Raghu set the bar up for us with a stage curtain, two quality microphones and helped us adjust the sound. He treated us and our audience members so nicely and everyone had such a great time. Thanks, Weary Livers! read more

I've been here a few times and I've always had a good time. I especially love all the events they do. There's a good tap selection and atmosphere is so cool. When I do come in here I sometimes just sit and stare at all the decorations. There are games, tvs, nice bartenders and just a general cool vibe. Highly recommend. read more

What a great place! This is definitely a go. Neighborhood bar with a neighborhood vibe, that also feels really cool, yet welcoming. Perfect for private events, lots of clubs and meeting groups meet here. Wonderful selection of beers on tap, good cocktails, very nice service. It looks intimidating from the outside, but once you step inside you immediately feel at home. This place is a go! read more

Great place. Great service. Fantastic atmosphere and I love the vibe. Mainly a beer place, but they have a shuffleboard table and lots of board games. You can order pretty good food from the Britton next door. Definitely the place for a casual drink with friends. read more

Came here for what was supposed to be an event but it was just hanging out & nothing going on. I ordered off of the Valentine's Day special cocktail menu - Lychee Lovers - but it was 100% not lychee. It was pinkish & same taste/texture as guava juice. I love guava so that's fine but I love lychee even more so I was disappointed. The cocktail was really too sweet. My girlfriend ordered the Chocolate Martini also on the Valentine's Day special menu. It was drizzled with chocolate & topped with Ferrero Rocher chocolate with mini marshmallow on a little pick! Looked like a chocolate lover's ultimate dream come true! The bartenders were really attentive and super nice. They made you feel comfortable & welcome! They also let us know we could order food from the Brixten, gave us that menu & let us know Brixten actually will walk over the food. We didn't get anything but good to know. This is very much a small neighborhood, dive/hip (if you can call it that), eclectic hangout. There were people just sitting at tables, reading their books while having a drink & eating Brixten food. It's unpretentious & super laid back. I thought the colorful strings of light added a nice touch to the ambience. However, I couldn't figure out if they were trying to go for a pirate's cove kinda theme or they just didn't take down the huge skeleton & other Halloween type decorations. Noise level was decent so you can have conversations without having to scream over the music. This would be a good place to just go hang & watch a game on their big screens. But I wouldn't really recommend it for a romantic date night. I really liked that they had several mocktails (non-alcoholic drinks) to choose from. Since they only serve beer, wine & cocktails made with soju, if you're looking for a fancy cocktails & drinks, this is not it. Prices were good. My Lychee Lovers was $16, Guinness on tap was $10(?). Wines varied from $14 & up. They have different things happening every night - Fridays are Karaoke, Saturdays are Singles Night, I forgot to take a picture of the lit-up board that had it all written down. Overall, good value & like they say on "Cheers," a place where everybody knows your name. read more

They are super accommodating and sweet! I love it ! I'm definitely coming back! read more

Weary Livers - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Weary Livers is such a vibe. Dark, moody, and effortlessly cool the kind of place you go for one drink and end up staying awhile. The cocktails are crafted perfectly, strong but smooth, and the atmosphere feels intimate without trying too hard. It's got that hidden-gem energy. Great music, great crowd, and just an overall solid spot when you want something more elevated than the usual bar scene. Definitely one of my favorites. read more

This is a cool bar, it's really laid back and they have a lot of games to play around the bar with a karaoke on the projector. The bar tender was helpful in their drink selection. It's a pretty cool bar if you want to have a drink and play some games with friends. The have a good amount of cocktails and beers on tap. read more

Weary Livers - Beers on tap - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Cute little spot that I don't think has any idea what theme it wants to be but that's part of the whimsical and chaotic charm it has while still being dark and lived in enough that it doesn't feel novelty. It feels like it was slowly made this way. There's a giant skeleton with lots of Christmas decorations. Vintage hair brushes and old pay phones hung on the wall. There's tons of board games to choose from. They do sell food but there is a cut off. Also I was told they only serve beer and wine but when I went they had the standard type of bar fare. I got a gin and tonic which I swear was Ginger ale instead of tonic but I wasn't mad at it. It's a cute spot to check out to pre game or have a nightcap. Check the place out if you're around. read more

This place was amazing I went about a month ago to an open mic they host every Tuesday it was super chill and I met some really talented musicians and comedians plus the bartender Jhon was super cool and helpful I'll definitely be back to perform. ~Legendari read more

Such a cute little vibe, Came with my girlfriends and had absolutely a blast. So inviting, chill, cute decor, and great drinks.

This is such a fun bar! Came here with a friend on a Friday night to catch some drinks. We were pleasantly surprised by the whole venue. When you walk in, the place has a quirky vibe to it with multiple pictures of clowns, a huge skeleton and other interesting art that will quickly catch your eye. On one side of the place, there's multiple game options such as giant jenga, giant connect four, uno and other games. The bar area is a good size and the bartenders were amazing. They were super personable and quickly caught our attention to take our drink orders. Most of the menu is Soju based drinks which I found pretty interesting. I will definitely be back! read more

Weary Livers - Sangria - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Small bar, intimate lighting, plenty of seating. Entrance looked a bit scary upon arrival. Artsy walls. Bar tender looked mean, but he was friendly. Drinks were delicious, a lot of drinks were made w/ Soju, I thought that was pretty different. They had a table with UNO, and a separate table with Large Jenga. They do not serve food, but you can purchase food and bring it in. Went to a creative gathering, it was definitely a unique experience. Will be back. read more

This place is supposed to be a bar, but they don't even have a proper liquor license. They only serve wine and beer! Never in my life have I been to a bar that doesn't serve liquor! The bartender was friendly and service was prompt. I would never return though. read more

Stopped over here briefly for a quick nightcap on a Friday. Interesting decor on the inside and not crowded at all considering the time of night. Solid beer and cocktail list at reasonable prices. Ordered a pint of the "A-Slo-Ha" by Slo Brewery ($6ish) - an incredibly juicy IPA that's crushable. Vibes inside are nice as there's a movie playing on the TV, no loud music, and some shuffleboard to the side. Bartender is chill and got our drinks out quickly. No issues with this spot at all, just an easy place for a quick/quiet drink. read more

Weary Livers - Draft list - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Loved their spooky decorations! The vibe is a little dark and trendy. They have music going on and they play random shows/ movies on their screen. Their drinks are great! However, their menu is out dated and the bar tender had to help us out in choosing a drink. Seems like the location is going through management exchange, but would be a good idea to update the menu list. Great location, easy to get to and from. Cool place for Halloween spooky spirit and drinks read more

Really cute and spooky spot to grab a drink and app or small bite . Brixton is right next door , but honestly I prefer this place because of the spooky and very elegant decor and SHUFFLEBOARD . The service was friendly and genuine . They are just starting out so go show them some love and play some shuffleboard. Say hi to the skeleton upstairs too from a distance . :) read more

Super cute local Santa Monica bar!! Love the eclectic decor inside! Good happy hour (5-7 pm), except it was unclear to us which menu cocktails were on included. Either way, we enjoyed the select drinks! Wide range of draft beers as well. read more

This is a great bar. There's parking behind it. They get food from Brixton's. It's also a great meeting place for book clubs and game clubs. I went to a book club here for mystery books.
