Reviews


The Venice Whaler is a cool beach bar with a great location and atmosphere. While some reviewers noted issues with service and reservations, the general consensus was positive. The shrimp tacos were highly recommended, along with the fish tacos and chowder. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making it a good spot to chill and enjoy drinks. Although the food was described as mediocre and overpriced by some, the overall experience of hanging out by the beach and enjoying the sunset was highly praised. It seems like The Venice Whaler is more of a place to relax with friends and enjoy drinks than to have a gourmet dining experience, on average, Venice Whaler Bar & Grill has been rated as 4.

If you come for beer and atmosphere this is the place, if you want to eat, go somewhere else.
