This is a very nice place. Its underground, so no windows, very elegant decor. Im not sure what the menu is like as I attended a private wine tasting event there.

We had our company holiday party at West End and it was such a great time. Pa-yam helped us coordinate the vendors we worked with, his bartenders helped us with signature cocktails for the party, and overall the event went very smoothly. This place is hidden away so youll barely notice it as you walk by. Id have to say the best thing about this spot is the general ambience. It just oozes old timey, Gatsby, jazzy vibes. Next time youre in the area, be sure to check it out.

Nice place to chill, snack, have wine. Several tvs for sports watching. Nice classy warm ambience. Very large place, different seating options: at the bar; tall tables and stools; larger area with couches for larger parties; smaller areas for couples.

It was fun one Diwali night here, coolest hip club in Santa Monica. They mostly arrange Bollywood nights on Fridays here. Perfect time and place to shake a leg. Love the energy and people here. And DJ Prashant is awesome.

If I could give zero stars I would. My credit card was fraudulently charged at this place. One transaction for $269 and one for $44 I went for a rap battle. Didnt order and food. Only drinks. How on earth would a single person obtain a bar tab for this amount. I was ripped off and they must have mixed up tabs or something. Ill contact management today. If its not resolved Ill definitely dispute this with my bank today. This is just crazy!!! Beware people!!!!

This place is the best. My favorite club for dancing in Santa Monica. There is cover on Fridays and Saturdays, but its worth it.

I was there for the Christmas Santa Monica pub crawl. Its a cool place with a good vibe, live stage (that had some great live karaoke band), and great bartender. I definitely would like to check it out on a normal night again.

Dope place I like the music and production of the place, the lines are a little disorganized but over all everyone is friendly and just trying to have fun . It does get overly packed.

This place is great for salsa and bachata on Monday nights, the cover is very reasonable and often they have live bands. The cover includes beginner lessons in salsa and bachata taught by a 12 time champion. Although the place is small its more than adequate for dancing.

They refused to give water in a cup and insisted that you buy bottles instead. Reason: they were out of plastic cups; the plastic cups were in plain sight.

Monday night salsa lessons with Cristian Oviedo are the best. And the social dancing has the most fun atmosphere on the westside.
