The Viceroy: Whist Restaurant, Cameo Bar, and Chris Crary
*Update: Whist closed and is now Cast.
Tired of the same old places? Check out the fun at Viceroy in Santa Monica, California. I recently went and
found excellent drinks, great food, and a good crowd. Cameo Bar is located off the lobby and wraps around to the pool
area and to Whist. Whist's Chef de Cuisine is Chris Crary.
Artisan cheese selection with a selection of five fruit and nut bread housemade condiments.
Both of these food items are good to share with a group as you gather around the center

Moonshine Mule: This cocktail builds off the now popular Moscow Mule. The Moscow Mule
was something I ordered for a long time at places, yet no one knew how to make it. Now it is enjoying a
renaissance. This version is made with original moonshine, ginger beer, fresh squeezed lime juice, and agave.
A good drink to sip.
Hemingway Special: A drink befitting the setting made with grapefruit juice, rum, lime
juice, and Luxardo maraschino liqueur.

Valet and street parking is available.
If you arrive by 8:00 P.M. you can probably find parking on the street.
The restrooms are located near the front entrance, next to the hotel check-in desks.

Make reservations for Whist in advance.
Arrive to Cameo before 9:00 P.M. for better seating and avoid the velvet rope.
The drinks are on the pricey side, although sometimes paying a bit more is worth it.
