My new favorite vintage shop! (I’m totally killing this Unilocal thing today!) Me and my friends strolled in today about an hour before close and I knew we were gonna be here a while. So much to check out! Love the variety! It was a little pricey for me right now but I have my eye on a couple of items. I’m hoping that they’ll still be there next week when I get paid. (Keeping my fingers crossed!)

Absolutely love this store! Mix between vintage and new. For years, this has been a must stop for my mom and I when wandering Venice. With all the changes around the area, I’m glad this is one of the smaller stores that have stayed!

Animal House has always been one of favorite stores in Venice. They have great items even if they do have tourist prices I don’t begrudge then because their staff is so friendly and amazing.
I bought my favorite jeans there and just bought a plaid shirt lined in fleece that is so warm! I get candles and other items there as gifts and people love them. They just opened a drive through juice place in the alley and they have great juices!

Decent selection, but can get a little expensive depending on what you’re looking for. Pretty hit-​or-​miss for the most part.

Such a fabulous collection of vintage pieces… Ronny’s 30+ years of experience have definitely given him an eye for a timeless collection. Every time I wear something I purchase from Animal House, I get showered with complements… and the prices are amazing!

Always stop by here to see what’s going on in Venice. They always have a good selection of vintage and trendy new stuff. I love the Peter max clocks on the wall. One day I am going to break down and by one. The vintage seems to be edited and in good condition.

Let me start by saying, I LOVE Animal House. It is one of my favorite shops in Venice.
Everytime I go there I leave with something whether it be vintage or new. I usually shop in the sale section b/​c the new stuff seems a bit spendy for what it is. Whoever is buying there does a great job. I’ve found some great vintage Pringle sweaters there. They also have a great collection of vintage Pucci.
Sometimes they are a little bit cheaper then department stores sometimes a little more expensive but only by a couple of bucks. Overall I think their competitive. Definitely worth it to shop here and get some unique pieces for your wardrobe.

I discovered this place when I first moved to Venice and got a super sweet 1982 KLOS Frank Zappa T-​shirt there, which I love.
The store is well organized, not cluttered and has a nice blend of vintage and new clothing.
They are nice to my dog and everyone there is nice in general.
Cool spot, with cool stuff…

Where’s all the vintage?
Gorgeous and cozy layout. Fun and great conditioned clothes… but not so much vintage. It’s mostly new things with a few pieces here and there.
I took a walk on my lunch to see what people were talking about. I loved many of the dresses I saw there. I wished they were smaller. I wished they were priced a bit lower. However despite many of the items being very cute here, they were far more expensive and not anything super «I’ll never find this anywhere else.»
Most everything in that store was on the pricier ($ 20+) left of center. There are new books and shoes in the back. There’s some great hats on the top of the front spindles.
It’s a touch too posh for where it’s located to me personally. It’s a shop that comes off like it should be in Santa Monica. not Venice.
I just didn’t feel the heart I am used to feeling in a real thrift store. *shrug*

Strolling around in Venice we stumbled upon Animal House and decide to go in. There was a good mix of vintage and name brand new clothes. Lots of hats for guys, tons of flip flops and good deals on the sales racks. I love LA Made and Splendid brand clothing and this place had a huge selection and for pretty reasonable prices. A few bucks cheaper than Macy’s or Nordstrom at least.
But what I could not stop staring at were the Mukluks. They are tall, multicolored sweater like slipper socks with suede bottoms. They were only $ 10 bucks so i said what the hey it’s pay day and I scooped me up a pair.
Staff working was friendly. Will be returning! Mukluks for all this Christmas!

I have been shopping here for years and always find what I’m looking for, as well as good customer service and prices. This vintage store has been a Venice staple for years and the owner is so nice and helpfull.
If your looking for vintage or a little Venice shopping search no further. I have found clothing, shoes, and hats of all styles. As one of my favorite places to buy gifts I have found items to fit any style or occasion.

THEEE best shop ever! I’ve been shopping at Animal House for almost 20 years!!!
They have changed with the times and styles smoothly and effortlessly have inspired me over the years. There is always an interesting mix of something me, something for my current bf, a great gifts, something for my feet, something for the kid and sometimes something for my home. Quite amazing. How do they do it? I think I wear one thing everyday from Animal House.

Love, love, love this place! I saw Jeff Ho the first few times I visited; once I saw the Zephyr gear on sale I knew the place was certified.
There’s a great combination of vintage and new clothing with a small selection of Vans and books in the back as well. I bought easily the coolest hat I own during a random trip there when shopping was the last thing on my mind.
It’s a cool store with cool folks running it.
