A modern yet cozy cocktail bar in Santa Monica that feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the pier.

The Chestnut Club comes from the team behind Black Market Liquor Bar and Scopa Italian Roots and offers a beverage program created by Pablo Moix featuring classically inspired cocktails. The menu leans pretty heavily on the brown spirits, with hits like the Poor Man’s Pappy Old Fashioned or the rye and mezcal-fueled El Camino, but if you’re looking to venture into new territory, the helpful bar team will gladly guide you through their massive collection of mostly small-batch spirits and liqueurs.

Dim lighting, dark wood, leather sofas, and exposed brick make this relaxed and refined Westside cocktail haunt a place U can’t miss.
