I cannot tell you how much I love this place. They have happy hour every day from open to 7PM, with exquisite craft cocktails for only $9 it is impossible to beat! Everything is very high quality but still down-to-earth. For example their huge fried chicken sandwich is made with Jidori chicken breast that is pan-fried in cast iron and topped with house made slaw and pickles. Absolutely delicious. I always have 3-4 cocktails when I come here and they are simple yet elevated. Apparently the restaurant is inside the oldest building in Santa Monica that used to be a bank so it’s got a lot of history behind it as well. The bartenders (pardon me for forgetting their names) are all really cool, knowledgeable, and friendly. Trust me I’ve experienced a lot of bad service in restaurants all over the country with people that are just miserable and snooty; these people have me coming back just to have fun conversations with them and learn about their craft. I definitely recommend The Misfit.

We came to celebrate my brother‘s 40th birthday at this establishment as this is the one he wanted to go to since he lives in the area. It wasn’t too packed on a Sunday night (1/25/206), and our server, Harry, was lovely and greeted us with a smile and ensured that we were taken care of due to the shellfish allergy and lactose intolerant guests at the table. He was very attentive to everything and brought out our drinks and food in a timely manner, and he also let me know that he would have a non-dairy so that we could sing happy birthday. He also had great recommendations on the drink to accommodate everyone’s preference and we enjoyed the selections that were made along with the food.
The reason why I did have to leave the stars I did was in relation to the way we were treated by the manager. What was a family evening with family and photos to create memories of our night turned into the manager cornering me at the bar as I was taking a photo of my brother and his girlfriend. I had a small clip-on light on our iPhone that helps take photos when it’s a little bit dark so that we could have our family photos perfectly for this milestone. She approached me and said that professional photography was not allowed without permission and that I could not be taking photos. I questioned the policy because I did not have a professional digital camera on me, I only had an iPhone, taking family photos, and the light was a small clip on light that most used for vlogging for example, no umbrella lights or large tripods or professional equipment. When I extended my hand to introduce myself, she also hesitated to extend hers back and did not give me her name after i gave mine. I let her know that this was not a professional photo shoot. What was most upsetting is that we know that my brother and his girlfriend do not have a traditional relationship and do stand out in public as they are in a biracial relationship, and we all felt profiled and picked on by the manager, making assumptions about our presence and purpose there. I found her to be very rude, and the only reason we chose to stay was because we did not want to leave Harry without a gratuity after he had already been providing service to our table and he truly was an excellent person. However, we will no longer be returning to this establishment.

Food is overall okay but the drinks are phenomenal. Highly recommend the walnut dip with pomegranate and molasses.
I would suggest adding more “bar food” choices to the menu. Loved the atmosphere and drinks.

Absolutely no complaints at all with this restaurant. The staff was great and friendly. Plus the atmosphere and the food was really. I would definitely recommend the fried chicken sandwich. It is big but super good. Same with getting the fries would recommend sharing those because I couldn’t finish all of them. If you’re looking for a good restaurant this is the place to go.

The food came out quickly and the staff were friendly. My family ordered burgers and said they were really tasty. I had the shrimp tacos, but they were a bit of a letdown — the batter was too thick and tasted like it wasn’t very fresh. The shrimp inside were tiny compared to the size of the coating, which made the whole thing feel off. Still, the overall vibe was nice, and the champagne was great.

Outstanding experience! Food and drinks were A+ and their happy hour half priced cocktails….say no more to a deal that good. We got there 30min after opening and had the bar to ourselves, Got a bit busier by the time we left. Next time in the area, will have to find my way back. Oh yea, free cookies!!

Drinks were half off when we went on a Sat. Drinks were very good and they had a variety of liquor options. The Gin cocktails were my favorite. The chicken sandwich was delicious and the Mac & Cheese was good, but it got grainy while we were sipping our drinks.

The Misfit Bar & Restaurant is one of our favorite go-to hangout spots in Santa Monica.
It offers a vibrant atmosphere that’s perfect for a lively evening out with friends or co-workers. The drinks are consistently top-notch — creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted. The food holds its own too, with delicious flavors and great presentation, though the menu is somewhat limited in variety.
If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate setting, just note that it can get a bit noisy during peak hours — but the energy and charm of the place more than make up for it. A solid choice for a fun night out!
