Second step of the night for Monica 's birthday dinner. If it's possible, I think she enjoyed this less than our first stop.

Tiki Bar

Gin Rummy

Venice, California, United States

Gin Rummy, an island-inspired cocktail bar in Venice, CA, opened its doors on Friday, May 26, 2023.

It is not a tiki bar, but does serve tiki cocktails and has some tiki decor, including a few small tiki carvings scattered throughout, some rattan furniture on the patio, and lots of leafy tropical foliage.

It is what tikiphiles might refer to as "tiki adjacent" or "tiki friendly".

Bar proprietor Jared Meisler says, "I’ve always loved the cocktails that come from beach cultures, just as much as I love the imagery and feel of beachy bars. I see a through line between a Tiki Bar, a Cuban Rum Bar, a Mexican Cantina, a Brazilian Quisque, a Spanish Chiringuito and a Venice Beach watering hole. They’re all timeless, relaxed, and fun, serving fantastic and unique drinks. Gin Rummy is an homage to all things Beach Bar, from Nautical to Tropical, in a vintage parlor.”

Gin Rummy is a Venn Diagram of those themes.

It has a very spacious feel with the large outdoor seating area flowing into the indoor bar area as one huge open space.

There is also a section filled with vintage style pinball games.
