Sun, fun, great food, beer, wine, music, sports TV, outdoor patios, and reasonable prices are what youll find at the world-famous Big Deans Ocean Front Caf on the Santa Monica Boardwalk in Santa Monica, California. This is where nostalgia surrounds you while you relax and sip a beer or have a burger. We offer seventeen TVs that are always broadcasting all major sporting events. Bring the children, they are always welcome. In 1902, Big Deans Ocean Front Caf was known as Larings Lunch Room and was a landmark for years.

Great local joint for a beer or delicious chips

Big Dean's is a fun local joint, very small but with an outside patio, perfect for having a beer and watching the sunset or the activity on the pier. It's located right below Santa Monica pier near the Hot Dog on a Stick. They make their own chips and they are delcious. Cheap beers at happy hour.
