Grilltavern

Step into an ultra chic bar, recently remodeled for the young and restless party goers. The Brig, a spacious area with pulsating music and a stainless steel bar, is a popular hangout. Singles find it a convenient joint to meet up with each other, while sipping on Apple Martinis. Get down to a game of pool or discuss art, this place is just right for after work hours, or simply to hang out with...

This is a bar bar. No fancy cocktails.

Average Rating

This is a bar bar. No fancy cocktails. The drinks are strong and the bartender likes to make them how he makes them don't ask differently.

This ultrahip bar, at the end of the Abbot Kinney strip in Venice, attracts an eclectic crowd of young clubgoers from all over L.A. The spacious main room pumps house beats, creating an atmosphere in which the scantily clad women and well-dressed men vie for attention from the opposite sex. If you're just rolling off the beach, however, don't be worried about being underdressed because at the...

New England's most famous discount retailer opened at Downtown Crossing in 1908. As of this writing, that location -- the only one where the celebrated automatic-markdown pricing policy applies -- was closed for construction. The Back Bay store is many things the original wasn't (well lit and scrubbed clean, just to name two), but I find the merchandise roughly equivalent to the stock at other...

Hot, mixed crowd of locals in pork-pies, dreads, Perry Ellis, and Dickies lean back in droves, due to limited lounge alternatives. Romantic/Date Spot conquests are swift, especially when you're Benicio del Toro stumbling from the wagon. Space-age refitting with filtered red lights making apple martinis blue and all manner of talent approachable. Slur big words about failed retro-design...

A hip, bohemian crowd relaxes at this uber-sleek hangout.

After a major makeover, the Brig has been transformed into a gorgeously modern, casually elegant lounge. The pool table still commands center stage in this spacious one-room bar, but the soft...

Business description (5)

Brig the can be found at Abbot Kinney Blvd 1515. The following is offered: Billiards. The entry is present with us since Sep 9, 2010 and was last updated on Nov 14, 2013. In Venice there are 1 other Billiards. An overview can be found here.

Brig is part bar/part nightclub that offers a casual, yet hip industrial vibe, live Jazz nights, DJ tunes and dancing. The establishment is known to draw a low-key casual crowd on weekdays, while getting busier and broader clientele on weekend nights.

“Always packed to the brim” (especially on weekends, when it’s “wall to wall”), this “fun” Venice “mainstay” with “crisp, clean” modern decor draws a twentysomething crowd up for “cruising and schmoozing” amid an “electric”, “meat-market” scene; DJs and a pool table up the appeal, while a slew of the city’s new wave of food trucks congregates right outside late at night.

The Brig is a community bar located in downtown Venice that features a variety of beers and ales, as well as a pool table and live DJ. The space is large, although it's usually pretty full, as it's a popular place to hangout within the city. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and laid back, with friendly bartenders and all of the classic drinks.

An ultra hip local bar.
