Hinano Cafe

Hinano Cafe is a true Venice institution where the spirit of the beachside community comes alive in every bite and every beat. Nestled just steps from the sand at 15 Washington Blvd, this bar & grill, cafe, and live music venue is a vibrant crossroads for locals and visitors seeking honest, satisfying food and a laid-back, no-frills atmosphere.

At its core, Hinano Cafe excels as a classic hamburger restaurant with a menu that champions comfort and flavor. Their world-famous hamburger—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and layered with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and a harmonious blend of mayo, mustard, and relish—is served on a bakery-fresh sesame seed egg bun that elevates every mouthful. For those with a heartier appetite, the double hamburger delivers double the satisfaction without compromising the quality. Beyond the traditional, the turkey and veggie burgers offer flavorful, wholesome alternatives that cater to all tastes. Breakfast lovers are well-served here too, with delights like the breakfast burrito—a spicy, cheesy, perfectly cooked egg and potato combo—and a breakfast sandwich stacked with melted cheese and fresh veggies on toasted sourdough or wheat.

The beverage menu stands out for its enticing range of beers and cocktails. Whether you're savoring a crisp Dos XX Lager from a pitcher, a rich Guinness Imperial Pint, or the refreshing notes of a Michelada, the drink selections complement the food beautifully. Morning visitors appreciate the robust hot coffee paired with fresh-squeezed My Sons Orange Juice. Meanwhile, classics like the Bloody Mary and cider round out a lineup that’s as varied as it is satisfying.

Hinano isn't just about food and drinks—it’s also about community. Step inside and you’re greeted by the authentic dive bar vibe that so many patrons adore. As reviewer Paul Mark Morris puts it, “This is old school Venice through and through,” complete with surfboards hanging from the ceiling, a jukebox spinning timeless tunes, and pool tables tucked in the back. The floor’s sawdust and free popcorn create a gritty, welcoming energy that feels as genuine as it is comfortable.

Customers consistently praise the welcoming, friendly staff and the honest value for money in a notoriously pricey area. Will Monk highlights how it’s “very reasonable food prices for the area,” while Zyquintis “Q” Little raves about the unbeatable burger and drink combinations paired with a vibrant, lively atmosphere. Whether you’re there to catch a ball game, enjoy a laid-back brunch, or simply soak up the local energy, it’s the people as much as the menu that make Hinano Cafe a hidden gem of Venice.

In all, Hinano Cafe serves up more than just meals—it offers a genuine Venice experience. It’s a place where uncompromising flavors meet an unmistakable local vibe, where every bite and every moment feels rooted in the soulful, beachside heartbeat of the community.
