SHOREbar
All aboard the party boat! Opened over the summer by the h.wood.group (Bootsy Bellows, LasPalmas) on West Channel next to Giorgio Baldi, this Santa Monica beachside destination makes you feel as if you've scored an invite aboard a luxury Nantucket house boat that happens to have an awesome bar and cocktail program. With a nautical theme and dark wood interior, you are transported to a beachy atmosphere that boasts young professional crowd, DJs, VIP lounge and delicious specialty cocktails.
Overall, this westside drinks destination just across PCH from the sand will have you living the "Good Life," the name of one of our favorite and more sturdy specialty cocktails made from buffalo trace bourbon, creme de cassis, blackberries, lemon juice, mint and ginger beer over a tall glass of ice. Doesn't that sound divine? Oh, and there's a photobooth which is always a great time after you've had a few.
