WELCOME TO SAWUBONA

A building mural shows an astronaut with an inspirational quote about action and achievement.

This top-ranked, award-winning venue in Los Angeles is a speakeasy-style indoor/outdoor loft that is designed for elevated gatherings and is perfect for any event. We offer a variety of seating configurations, from our complimentary standard setup to custom banquet options. Our beautiful rooftop will overlook the Venice canals on one end and provide a pleasant view of Venice beach on the other end. We’re just a five-minute walk from the Venice pier and two blocks from Venice beach. Natural light from the sun fills every inch of the venue during the day, complemented by plenty of plants in the space. There are several tables, whiteboards, a kitchen, a sink, and ample seating.
