After work drinks/dinner in Santa Monica

[LawyerLiar]

Hi everyone

My buddies and I are looking for some good places to get a drink and some food after we get out of the office.

We're professionals and we like to network, so it's preferable we go to places where people like us are at also.

Would love to tell you all about the experience we have afterwards. Thanks!

My favorite thing to do after work is to go to one of these places:
Tiato
Loews (their happy hour goes until 8pm and it's great to be outside at the beach)
Fraiche
Upper West
Yard
Chaya
Vito (best martini on the westside and only $5.50)
Arsenal
Marix
La Vecchia

Sounds like Bar Toscana on San Vicente in Brentwood to me...

Love love love Bar Toscana. But it's not a very conducive atmosphere for meeting people or networking.

Not sure of the make-up of the crowds but I am informed and believe, and based thereon allege, that Warszawa and Wilshire have good Happy Hours. The Misfit might fit the bill as well.
