The Basics: This cozy little hole in the wall is located right in the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach. The Side Door is a great little Martini Bar you’ll fall in love with- even if you don’t drink martinis. The small size adds to the character and great music is always playing in the background.
This comfortable basement-sized martini bar fills a niche between the stuffier and scruffier neighborhood spots. The recently renovated bar features a cool crushed blue glass bar and sapphire velvet seating. The exterior of the Side Door has a rustic cathedral facade complete with stained-glass windows and unmarked entry, conceals this slightly subterranean watering hole. The cozy spot features faux blue velvet couches, benches and rounded booths, along with a tiny bar in the middle of the room. The place is chill during the week with a late night crowd-and on weekends- it’s a great place to have an appetizer with someone new-and then come back for the party late night.
Great drinks, awesome mMusic and a great staff. The Side Door is cozy enough to be comfortable, hip enough to be considered upscale, and fun enough to make everybody a “regular”.
