Visited Santa Monica on St. Patrick's day and the only decent place close to the pier was the craftsman. Friendly bartenders, good happy hour and delicious snacks. Ms pacman machine available too.
Great place. Surprisingly normal for Santa Monica. Great happy hour, very reasonably priced all the time, wonderful veggie burger. Good rock, punk, alt music
An okay place if it’s your scene. Lively and not overly crowded, even late on a Saturday. My drink wasn’t very good, but I would have been less upset about it if it was happy hour.
