James Beach Patio

Enter through artist Billy Al Bengston’ s brass trellis gates into the quintessential Venice Beach vibe. A secret garden of palm trees, tropical plants, with an outside bar anchored by a palm tree awaits you. Comfy booths beckon along the east wall. Venice artist Eric Orr’s, iconic wall fountain represents moving water combined with vintage surf boards, creates a kinetic art installation homage to Venice surf life. Across the patio, balancing the Yin of the fountain, is the yang emanating from the flame of an original 1900s cast iron fireplace. The Venice vibe is further represented by the vintage board short lamps by artist Jimmy Ganzer. Billy Al Bengston’ s bar window uses vintage Gold’s Gym weights as counter weights to the heavy glass pays tribute to the Venice fitness innovator. Our Patio features retractable sun shades for bright days & covers for poor weather. Heaters keep things cozy & its own sound system keeps things lively. A private bathroom is secluded off the patio.
