Our Story
In 1905, after winning the Venice land on a coin flip with his partners, Abbot Kinney built Venice-of-America to be a personal monument to Venice, Italy. He built a fantasy city with real canals, a wood boardwalk and piers with rides and water slides.
It was a huge hit! Celebrities like William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies strolled the Venice Boardwalk; Sarah Bernhardt performed in the Venice Auditorium; Charlie Chaplin clowned in Abbot Kinney’s auto races; and Mary Pickford was rowed in her own gondola. Venice was the place to be!
The building that now houses the Sidewalk Café was one of the last of Abbot Kinney’s Venice buildings and was originally designed to be four stories tall, but only the first floor was ever constructed.
It was eventually sold to the Harrah family (of gambling fame) and was turned into a bingo parlor (later called bridgo because bingo was illegal). During prohibition Abbot Kinney’s underground utility tunnels were modified to accommodate bootleggers who delivered liquor at night under the pier.
