40s-50s Singles in Santa Monica (The Penthouse)

The Penthouse is an upscale yet unpretentious bar and restaurant at the top of the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. The enclosed venue offers a spectacular view of the coastline from Malibu to Palos Verdes, as well as a gorgeous panorama of the Santa Monica mountains and city skyline. Unlike other bars or clubs, it's well lit, and it's never too crowded in there, so we'll be able to hear each other when we talk.

To make for a more personal and intimate gathering, I am limiting the guest list to 20 people. After ordering drinks and appetizers at the bar, we can make our way to the smooth, cream-colored couches by the entrance and get to know each other.
