Food Scene
It's an original stage coach stop turned into a raucous cowboy bar with quality cuts of meat, well prepared, huge sharable portions, great veggie sides, and roving minstrals Thursday - Sunday. Sunday Brunch is also amazing. Reservations a must. Call in advance, they will call you back to confirm. It's a tiny restaurant, packed with fun loving people. Its a scenic 15 minute drive or Uber from Sea Lane... they do three seatings a night- early 5:30 7;00 8;30 Make sure to look for the wild peacocks that roam the grounds.

There is nothing like strolling out along the Malibu Pier, and winding up with a fabulous cup of coffee, and taking your plate of beautiful food out onto the deck and watching the surfers at Surfrider beach. It's a must.

Drinks & Nightlife
If you happen to be here on Wednesday night, there is a crazy karaoke scene that starts around 9:00 Locals call it 'weirdo wednesdays', but you decide. It's owned by one of the partners for Casamigos Tequila, so I recommend indulging in their jalapeño margarita !

The Adamson's settled Malibu back at the turn of the century- not this century of course...but go there and take in the rich historical relevance and the beauty of the original Malibu Tiles, that the family produced. It sits right at the Malibu Lagoon, looking our to Surfrider Beach, and as they say- location location location- the Adamson/s understood

Everything Else
Just walk into the misty greenhouses and let your senses be flooded with beauty. This family owned nursery is a Malibu locals favorite. And they ship! So send a Malibu orchid home to remember your trip for years to come. The blooms last for months and come back every year.
