Welcome to Sawubona Rooftop, a modern indoor/outdoor venue just two blocks from Venice Beach and five minutes from the Venice Pier. We're overlooking the Venice canals on one end of our rooftop, with a pleasant view of Venice Beach on the other end. Set above the lively coastal streets, it’s designed for events that value connection, creativity, and community — from brand launches and workshops to intimate celebrations. The space features a full-size bar, abundant natural light, lush greenery, and a seamless indoor/outdoor layout ideal for both daytime gatherings and evening events under the string lights. Whether you’re hosting a corporate mixer or a private dinner, our flexible setup allows you to tailor the atmosphere to your event’s vision. There are several tables, heaters, a kitchen, a bathroom, and plenty of seating. Stair access only - no elevator. To ensure a smooth experience, we personally greet every guest at check-in and have a manager available throughout your booking.
