"Barkowski, Santa Monica. A retro themed bar that pays homage to Charles Bukowski. Serving over 48 wines and 50 beers, your cup will never runneth empty - just how Bukowski would like it. With one of the best playlists in the city, it’ll keep you there for way too long as your favorite classic rock, punk, metal and alternative songs play one after the other. It also features Chuck's typewriter, pics and quotes. It’s like a dive bar sans the sticky floors, cigarette smoke and filth!"
