Venue & Layout

Indoor & Outdoor Space

Nearly 6,000 sq. ft. of flexible indoor and outdoor space, dressed in our signature Sexy | Upscale | Exclusive atmosphere. Private areas and complete venue buyouts are available so your group can enjoy the lounge on its own terms.

31TEN Lounge occupies a distinctive corner of Santa Monica's Main Street scene, offering an atmosphere that blends upscale polish with an unmistakably sexy, exclusive energy. The space is designed for unwinding in style, where craft cocktails and curated wine selections invite guests to linger over conversation. With bold sans-serif typography and deep charcoal tones framing warm off-white accents, the visual identity mirrors the mood inside: confident, editorial, and uncluttered. The lounge attracts a hip Westside crowd seeking something more refined than a typical bar, yet more relaxed than a formal restaurant, striking a careful balance that has become its signature appeal.

Happy hour at 31TEN serves as a social anchor for Thursday and early weekend evenings, drawing professionals and locals who appreciate the combination of approachable energy and elevated drink craft. The bar program leans into delectable libations and signature cocktails that showcase both classic technique and contemporary flair, while the seating arrangements encourage both intimate conversations and small group gatherings. Music is tuned to enhance rather than overwhelm, supporting the upscale atmosphere that defines the venue. Patrons often cite the balance between vibrant energy and considered design as the reason they return, making the lounge a favorite destination for those who value atmosphere alongside quality.

The venue's nearly six thousand square feet of indoor and outdoor space transforms effortlessly between casual weeknight lounging and full-scale event hosting. From showers and engagement parties to corporate celebrations, birthdays, fundraisers, and bar or bat mitzvahs, the flexible layout accommodates gatherings of varying size and intention. Private areas and complete venue buyouts allow hosts to tailor the experience, while the signature aesthetic of sexy, upscale, and exclusive design language carries through every configuration. Generous spacing and thoughtful separation between zones ensure that even larger events retain the intimate, gallery-like feel that defines the brand.

Table service at 31TEN elevates the standard bar visit into a more curated evening experience, with attentive staff guiding guests through cocktail menus and wine selections while maintaining the lounge's calm, unhurried pace. The combination of craft beverages, considered music programming, and an atmosphere that rewards both pre-dinner drinks and late-night gatherings positions the venue as a versatile destination across the evening hours. Whether arriving early for relaxed conversation or staying late into the night, visitors encounter a consistent commitment to quality and aesthetic discipline that distinguishes 31TEN from neighboring options along the Westside.
