Beachfront Hotspot Double Header: The Bungalow (Santa Monica and Huntington Beach)

At The Bungalow Santa Monica, there’s a massive patio deck scattered with sofas and chairs, a game room with a pool table, and a large main indoor bar area. (For high rollers, there’s a private room you can rent as well.) The outdoor area is decorated with white lights and a white gate, and the Bungalow building itself looks like someone's cozy beach home, complete with a fireplace. It’s like being at a house party of a kid who has really cool parents. Parents who know how to decorate their surfer beachside home, who have great taste in cocktails, and who even have good taste in music.
