Barney’s Beanery - Santa Monica (CA)

5 /5 Raegan Newman: What a wonderful wonderful place! This is now my favorite Barneys location anywhere. Just wonderful ambience and vibes. Really nice outdoor patio on the third street promenade with cozy booths and a beautiful long bar with extremely comfortable chairs, as well as plenty of comfortable booth seating throughout the whole restaurant. A lot of very entertaining eye candy everywhere as well as plenty of games on the second level. Pool tables, Pac-Man, air hockey etc., etc.. very beautiful layout and TVs absolutely everywhere. They have some pretty fun events Monday through Friday like movie night, trivia night, karaoke night. Even a pool league! What a fun place! Skinny cocktail was made to perfection and my only complaint is the two times we ordered cocktails, we had to ask where they were. The bartender didn’t seem to be focused on her job at all. Abigail was fantastic. Great personality and a great server! I had the Bueno and Solada. Taco shell was fried perfectly and all the lovely flavorful, shredded chicken and sautéed peppers and Coquita cheese and lovely amount of beans smeared on the bottom was just divine. He had the chicken quesadilla and it looked lovely. He said it was good. Next time I’m in this area I will definitely come back in. Fabulous!

2 /5 Michael Preiss: We have visited this restaurant several times in the past and have generally had a good experience. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was very disappointing. The food was overly greasy, and some dishes even arrived cold. To make matters worse, we had to wait a very long time for our meals, which was quite frustrating. The service was also not up to standard — the staff seemed rather unfriendly and inattentive, which made the overall atmosphere less welcoming. We truly hope this was just an off day, as we’ve enjoyed this place before. However, based on this latest visit, we are hesitant to return anytime soon.

5 /5 Guy Miller: As uaual. So tasty and fresh. Great beers. And this time as well on a most beautiful view on the pier of SM . highly recommended . Take the Shrimps in Garlic as starter ! And the Calamari . Super nice !
