Aviator Nation Dreamland
Don't let the '70s chill vibes fool you: Aviator Nation Dreamland is attempting to do a lot of things, and it does them very well. Part coffee house serving all day, part music venue, part surf and lifestyle shop, and part community hub, it's become an embodiment of the laid-back, sun-soaked spirit of Southern California. Opened in 2021 by Paige Mycoskie, founder of the retro-inspired clothing brand Aviator Nation, this multifaceted venue is just steps from the beach. The site's previous incarnations include its time as the Crazy Horse Saloon, which hosted everyone from the Beach Boys to the Doors to Fleetwood Mac. That aural history carries over into today's experience. The complex includes a large outdoor area with comfortable seating, perfect for enjoying a meal or watching live performances on the custom-built stage.
