The eclectic eatery is a mix of California cuisine, Jewish deli, Italian and comfort food favorites. Dannys is located at the corner of Speedway and Windward, in the heart of Abbot Kinney’s Historic Windward District and is a cornerstone of the area’s restoration.
Dannys interior recalls the stylish and bustling dining haunts that filled Abbot Kinney’s popular tourist destination in 1915. High backed booths, vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and a bright, airy feel set the mood. To reach the dining room at Dannys, you walk past a sensuous curved bar showcasing art from numerous Venice artists such as Ed Ruscha, Dennis Hopper and Robert Graham (trading art for food is a Venice tradition) and a large deli case overflowing with healthy salads, cheeses and desserts. Once seated, you find yourself surrounded by a collection of historic Venice photos and memorabilia highlighted by a Venetian Mardi-Gras mask, the last original gondola from 1904 and Rip Cronk’s forty foot mural entitled “Hobnobbing in Venice”. Cronk, the Venice muralist who painted the famous “Jim Morrison” and “Venice on the Half Shell” murals, depicts the past 100 years of Venice with present and past celebrities all having fun while looking down onto Dannys booths. Present day Venetians are enticed to have their faces up on Dannys walls through the restaurant’s “Caricature Project”. The project features caricatures of Venice locals on the deli’s walls, drawn by artist David Boatman. A portion of the $50 fee charged to cover the cost is donated to the Venice Family Clinic, the largest free clinic in the United States.
