Malibu

Malibu's bar scene leans heavily into its wine-country side despite its famous beach-town reputation - BarFinder lists 25 venues here, and wineries and wine bars make up the largest share, including Saddlerock Ranch, home of the well-known Malibu Wine Safari tours through its vineyards. Malibu Brewing Company and Zuma Brewing Company add a craft-beer presence along the Pacific Coast Highway. It's a scene built as much around a vineyard afternoon as a classic bar night.
