    Nostalgia Bar is fantastic! I love the ambiance and the drinks. I was sad to find out that the kitchen closed. This is a great place to start or end your night here. I will come back again soon.

    It was advertised online and on their website as a place to eat infused food or drinks, but that was not the case. That's the whole reason we made a trip to Santa Monica. We didn't get our menus for a time, and the waiter would walk by often without checking on us. The ambiance is great, the artwork is amazing, but the actual service, food and drinks were okay. Wish I had called beforehand to confirm if they actually had what they're supposedly branded for in the cannabis online world.

    One of the best places to eat and have some drinks in LA. All their food is organic and top quality. Their cocktails are whimsical, nostalgic, and just delicious. Their newly added cocktails are also amazing. Please try the Bread and Butter Martini, you will not be disappointed.

    The food and cocktails were great. We made reservations a few days before for two but the reservations were pointless. There was no one to check us in and we took the only available seats at a standing bar facing the wall. When the server acknowledged us after a while he gave us menus and once we placed order quickly took them away. The drinks arrived after food (we didn’t care) but this just signifies how long to make drinks to make. The problem is that we couldn’t order more to save our lives. We couldn’t get a menu or get servers attention. After finally flagging him down we finally got the bill. It was weird because the other white patrons were being visited by him. But we only saw him when he took our order and then gave us our bill. It sucks because the food/cocktails really are good.

    Everyone at Nostalgia was attentive, kind, and overall made us feel like guests at their home! To Bianca, Kayla, Jack, Chris, Sean, and the rest of the Nostalgia team: Thank you! Undoubtedly, the best bar in Santa Monica. Try it all! But definitely the apples to oranges cocktail 🥃

    Exquisite cuisine. The drinks or even more impressive. I was very impressed with the service. First class restaurant. Fun atmosphere not too noisy or loud. Great place to sit outdoors on nice summer nights.
