NOT a gay bar in the slightest lmao
Had one $20 drink, which was decent, and then left.
Door guy who was nice told me it used to be a gay bar, now it’s for “everyone”. It looks and feels extremely hetero now. Vibe/atmosphere is fine I guess, depends on what you’re looking for. This and the brig next door are the only two bars in the area, so options are limited.
The old fashioned I ordered was well-made, the bartender was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long to order or get my drink for 10pm on a Friday night. No food options available/sold.

Roosterfish, an iconic bar on the vibrant Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, has been a local staple since 1979. It’s renowned for being one of the first gay bars in the area, contributing significantly to the community’s history. Its revival after a brief closure has kept the legacy alive, blending its rich past with a polished, contemporary vibe.
The house special old-fashioned is a unique spin on the classic cocktail and is a must-try for newcomers. Trust the bartenders’ expertise here; their skillful recommendations are on point.

Very suitable place for a cocktail in between other stops, shopping, or before or after meals.
Drinks were well presented, and the list has something for everyone.
We enjoyed sitting on the back patio and happy to have missed the Saturday rush.

Renovated spot right on Abbott Kinney in Venice.
Fantastic atmosphere to be in groups with your love ❤️ or by yourself. Nice crowd.

Great location, but the bouncer was rude and made fun of my outfit at the door. Unprofessional and unwelcoming. Not coming back.

The theme here is very cool, drinks were solid and knew I wouldn’t regret ordering a Manhattan and then an old fashioned. There’s also an outdoor patio with seats and heaters. Decor was awesome. Beware there’s only 2 single bathrooms for this place which is fairly large and gets crowded so definitely don’t wait last minute to go. Nothing against the DJ last night but I wasn’t feeling the music.

I regret stopping into this bar at 4pm on a Saturday. It wasn’t busy in the slightest but we walked up to the bar and probably waited 5 minutes, all while being completely ignored by one of the bartenders standing right in front of us having conversation with other customers. When we were finally acknowledged by the second bartender I ordered two Long Island iced teas. The bartender outwardly smirked and said “We don’t do Long Island iced teas.” So I asked for a rum punch instead. Instead of responding the bartender just took a placard with a QR code and threw it down it in front of me. Ok, weird, considering it’s a full bar and they can’t throw together some rum and fruit juices? So I ordered a drink from the menu. Then the bartender didn’t ask if we wanted to keep it open or closed, he just took my card and put my check down in front of me without any thank you or any word at all for that matter. The service, both in urgency and manners, is lacking to say the least. The only redeeming thing about this place is the backyard patio with lots of seating and tables. Our old fashioned was poorly made and my spritz was just alright. As a queer woman, and even just a paying customer for that matter, it disappoints me to be treated like this in what is supposed to be a safe space.

went here on a night out with friends! The drinks were really good and the vibe was great! The DJ was good too although people were shy to dance. Would definitely recommend! Only ding is I wish the bartenders were able to recommend drinks better.

A great place to hang out and have a good cocktail with friends or alone. The bartenders are friendly and it’s never too crowded during happy hour. The drink menu changes seasonally, but make sure to try a Watermelon Fresca or Rocking Chair if available.
