The Bungalow
Since opening at The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in 2012, Brent Bolthouse’s oceanfront ode to California surf culture has become the hottest gathering spot on the Westside. The scene can be a bit hectic during the weekend, when lines begin wrapping around the block by early afternoon, but the retro-style outdoor space serves as an idyllic spot for a midweek cocktail, coupled with postcard-perfect sunset views.
