Beatles & Brews: The Beat 5 Live Music Social

What We’re About
Are you a Westside local who still gets chills when the opening chord of "A Hard Day’s Night" hits? Do you miss the days when "going out" meant great live music, a cold craft beer, and a dance floor full of friends?

We are a community of Santa Monica and Venice locals dedicated to celebrating the music of the greatest band in history—performed by the Westside’s own The Beat 5.

This isn't your typical tribute act. No wigs, no costumes, and no gimmicks. The Beat 5 is a "celebration band" that focuses on the raw energy, complex harmonies, and deep cuts that made the Beatles legendary. We get together weekly and monthly to support the band, enjoy our local venues, and keep the spirit of the 60s alive right here on Lincoln Blvd.

Our Regular Hangouts

1. The Thursday Night Rock-Out @ Tr!p Santa Monica
   The Vibe: Intimate, authentic, and "locals-only." Tr!p is a hidden gem with a great sound system and lots of beers (and wine) on tap.

The Plan: Grab a table near the stage around 7:00 PM. It’s the perfect mid-week escape to grab a a bite, a pint, and hit the dance floor when the band kicks into high gear.

2. The Sunday (Monthly) Beatles Brunch @ The Venice West
   The Vibe: High-energy, sun-drenched, and soulful. The Venice West is a beautiful, larger venue where the acoustics are legendary and the mimosas are bottomless.

The Plan: First Sunday every month, we meet for the ultimate Sunday tradition. We fuel up on brunch, sing along, and start our week with the best vibes in the city. All ages are welcome, so it’s a great spot for the whole family.

👥 Who Should Join Us?
Santa Monica & Venice Locals: If you live within a bike ride or a short Uber of Lincoln Blvd, this is your tribe.

Music Lovers & Audiophiles: If you appreciate the craft of the Beatles’ music—from the early mop-top hits to the psychedelic Sgt. Pepper era.

Social Dancers: Whether you’ve got professional moves or just like to "Twist and Shout," our members aren't afraid to move!

"Third Place" Seekers: If you’re looking for a low-pressure way to meet neighbors who share your interests, you’ve found it.

Pro-Tips for New Members
Finding Us: Look for the group of people laughing and singing the loudest! Pretty much anyone on the dance floor is "one of us."

Parking: For Tr!p, there is street parking on Lincoln or the residential side streets (just watch the signs!). For The Venice West, we recommend ride-sharing if you’re doing the Bottomless Mimosa brunch!

Come Solo or with Friends: Most of our members started by coming solo. We make a point to introduce everyone so you’ll feel like a "regular" by the first set break.

The Philosophy
In the words of the Fab Four: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." We’re here to make some noise, make some friends, and enjoy the best music ever written.

See you at the show!
