Our Story
One fine afternoon in Venice, while two locals, Tom and Spoon, were enjoying a beer on the boardwalk, they wondered to themselves, “wouldn’t it be great if we could have a bite of something delicious and nutritious right now and still watch the sun go down over the Pacific?” One, a fisherman, the other a craft beer brewer, and both watermen, did the only reasonable thing: They went sailing. And they hatched the idea for the Venice Ale House.
It was critical that ingredients for the menu be organic, sustainable and locally sourced whenever possible. The beverage list should be local too. After all, why ship beer and wine half way around the world when we can support great breweries and wineries right here in California?
Most importantly, they wanted to create an atmosphere where locals and tourists alike can relax and enjoy the beach. A place where friends & family can enjoy a great meal, raise a glass, share a laugh & catch the sunset.
