Telling your friends to meet up at a golf course for some drinks and snacks might initially put you on the receiving end of some serious side-eye. But don’t worry, The Penmar is here to prove them wrong. This casual restaurant and bar attached to the Venice golf course of the same name has solid food, strong cocktails, and a peaceful outdoor patio looking out over the course. It’s a great place to pull up with a martini after a long week and listen to the meditative sounds of drivers thawking rubber balls or come on a Saturday with friends to watch college football (they have plentiful TVs). That said, Wednesday is easily the most popular night of the week here when a live band shows up and everyone picnics out on the putting greens with charcuterie boards and buckets of beer.
