Open since 2011, this lively venue draws all kinds of Hollywood types who live near the beach –" think A listers like Adam Sandler, Judd Apatow, Tig Notaro and Damon Wayans, for example –" who turn up for what the club calls their "Celebrity Drop Ins." Open every evening and serving lots of craft beers and other libations, this place is definitely a convivial choice for a fun night. Aspiring comics can take a variety of classes here, including improv workshops on Saturdays.
