The Chestnut Club is Santa Monica's spirits-driven cocktail lounge built on the philosophy that a drink should be the reason to stay, deliberately free of televisions and designed for conversation. Located at 1348 14th Street, the venue features a 400+ bottle back bar curating both classic cocktails and house-designed creations, complemented by carefully selected small plates including ricotta crostini, smoked trout, and burrata. The intimate space showcases warm brick walls, leather booths, and sophisticated lighting creating an atmosphere suited for both private gatherings and larger celebrations. Owned by the hospitality team behind Black Market Liquor Bar and other respected establishments, it represents a modern approach to craft cocktail culture grounded in classic tradition and personal hospitality.
