Editorial Review for Big Dean's Oceanfront Cafe |
| Step in from the sand at this no-fuss alternative to upscale Santa Monica bars.
In Short
Big Dean's decor is standard beach-bar style, with neon beer signs, surfboards tagged with corporate beer logos and picnic-table seating. The primary appeal is its proximity to the beach--directly off the Strand, practically in the shadow of the Santa Monica Pier. As the ocean breeze wafts through the open-air seating, it combines with smells rising off the nearby grill to create a wonderful hybrid. |
Insider Tips | What to Drink
Choose from a good number of cheap bottled domestic and import beers, along with two or three types of wine.
