"This hotel lobby bar in Santa Monica channels its Art Deco roots with live jazz, ice cold martinis, and bartenders in waistcoats. It sits inside the oceanfront Georgian Hotel (which dates back to the 1930’s) and works especially well for pre-dinner drinks. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, the horseshoe bar is lined with nicely dressed Westsiders sipping cocktails and judging tourists as a saxophonist plays classics. For a more intimate date night experience, book a leather booth at the candlelit piano bar in the basement. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
