Legend has it Bigfoot himself enjoys close proximity to the beach, which dawned the creation of Bigfoot West.

A friendly neighborhood bar with a "Cheers"-like sensibility, this cozy log cabin transports eager Angelenos to grandpa's cabin at story time. Its whiskey shelf is packed with coveted bottles that span the globe and entice the moonshiner in all of us. A crafty beer and shot selection –pairing quality spirits and brews– begs the question, "why drink anything else?"

Bigfoot West has become a local favorite for comfortable imbibing and stream-of-booziness banter: whether with a bartender, stranger, or Bigfoot himself.
