Okay, so you are thirsty and need some direction as to how to find the proper beverages. Well, friend you are in luck as I am a seasoned veteran of Veniceʼs alcohol depots.
Beer and Liquor:
——
Muniʼs Iiquor- Pacific and N. Venice. expensive for everything and nothing super unique, but at one block off the water, what do you expect. They have a wide variety of groceries and household necessities as well. 2022 Pacific Ave Venice, CA 90291-4126 – (310) 823-8784. Website
Davey Jones Liquor Locker: Bay and Pacific- Great wine and beer selection, not cheap, but not outright robber either. These guys know there stuff and they have a lot of it.

Nicks Liquor: Speedway and Washington- Pricey and more of a small convenience store. Still, they do have good weekly specials on beer, wine and booze which take some of the sting off of beachside liquor purchases. 11 Washington Boulevard. Venice, California 90291. (310) 821-3778. Website
Trading Post Liquor: Main St. near Westminster, big store, big selection of everything! Specialty wines, hard to find liquors and beers and a bit less expensive than some of their competitors a block a west. 1313 Main St. Venice, CA 90291-3794. (310) 396-6666. website
Luck Stop Liquor: Abbot Kinney and California. This is a big store with practically everything! Vast selection of micro-brews, california wines, groceries and more.
