Offbeat L.A.December 30, 2014The oldest bar/restaurant in Santa Monica, opened in 1934. One of the few cool, authentic places left in the neighborhood.
Veronica ChaviraJuly 13, 2018Happy hour is a fun environment! Lights cover the inside. Good prices and good portions! They’ve been around since 1934. Recommend the calamari! Good spot for surf ‘n turf!
Jason BitenskyNovember 14, 2018Everything but the cocktails. I’ve been going here for years and every time I go back (6x a year for sure) I try a cocktail. They are just gross. Please fix it.
Stan BashmashnikovSeptember 22, 2014Oldest bar in Santa Monica. Fantastic bartenders. Get an Old Fashioned or a Maker's and sip it ever-so casually.
Megan AllisonAugust 27, 2016Goddamn adorable. Clam steamers under a mermaid painting from the 30's: don't care what it costs I'm in, hook line and sinker ⚓️🍹💌
- Mallory MaskeJuly 24, 2012Awesome happy hour at the bar- 5-7 Monday- Saturday and all day Sunday, everything on the bar menu is half off! Local Santa Monica spot.
Check out the new bar menu. All looks fantastic, and well thought out. Loved the vegetarian tacos.
Steve KrohnJune 29, 2013Definitely a local favorite! The clams are a must. Great service, consistently a great experience!- Justin SatzmanOctober 4, 2014Loved the turkey burger, sea bass special and the halibut. Kind of weird with hay on the floor but that's just me. Great and friendly service though.

Love The Galley! Been coming for over 15 yrs but that new server Katie is terrible. :(
