LA's best dive bar has served everyone from JFK to Matt Damon

The first time I ever went to Chez Jay, the iconic nautically themed bar and restaurant located at the end of Route 66 just steps away from the Santa Monica Pier, actor Michael Imperioli was sipping a cocktail at the bar. For someone relatively new to Los Angeles, seeing the “Sopranos” and “White Lotus” star felt like a pretty huge sighting.
