THE

STORY

Lieutenant Scott Dunbar
SM Airport runway
C47 customers
In 1954, a young American Air Force Lieutenant grew tired of hearing fellow pilots complain there was no place to dine around the Santa Monica airport. So he opened a small eatery. And people stopped complaining.
Remodeled and expanded over the years, it was renamed C47 Bistro, paying homage to Santa Monica's aviation history. Come experience it with a drink or two (or three).
