Jameson's

Jameson's Pub has become my go-to spot in Culver City. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting—the kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel at home. The live music is fantastic and really sets the vibe for the evening. Whether you're catching a game on the screens or just hanging out with friends, there's always good energy in the room. Now let's talk drinks. The cocktails are solid across the board, but the peanut butter shot? Scary delicious. Dangerously smooth. The kind of thing you tell yourself you'll only have one of, and then somehow you're three deep wondering where the night went. If you're looking for a great neighborhood pub with good drinks, live entertainment, and a welcoming crowd, Jameson's is the place.

The prime rib chili knocked my socks off! I got it with a grilled cheese and it was amazing. You should offer this on your menu. Not saying you need to name it after me or anything, but a grilled cheese and that incredible chili just exist in this world. Also, Josh is a great bartender - MAKES A HELLUVA MARTINI. Your music choice is on point. Everything about my experience here was delightful. If I lived here, I would be here A LOT!

Good atmosphere and live music at this Jameson location. Nice terrace with view on the band or if you are a sport guy/gal, you will enjoy large screens broadcasting live sport events

Good drinks, tacos decent! We had the all you can eat tacos, you can get initially 2 and then you can add 1 every time, after you finish the one you ordered! Not great and also not bad!

They have live bands play all the time. The music is turned up super loud which is great if you're into that. If you're not, there is an out door area and an indoor balcony area to get away from the speakers. Staff is super friendly, however it's really hard to communicate due to the volume. Plenty of seating all around and water station at the back of the bar for any sober friends, designated drivers, or friends who have had one too many. Close to the metro and tons of downtown culver city stores and restaurants.

It is what it is - it’s a casual pub - water at the bar to get yourself- it’s not fine dining so expectations should be managed. The fish and chips are huge and delicious - great to split - and the buy one get one free wine, beer and cocktails is a great deal. Bonus nice patio to sit in the sun

Good food and drinks. Happy hour is nice, 2 for 1 special. Service is good. A bit crowded and loud especially when they have a game playing on the TV. I had to give this review a three because they no longer do all-you-can eat taco Tuesday. I was so bummed by that because they didn’t let me know. Oh well.

Overall an average bar. Came here Sunday evening—decent amount of people here but they had open tables. The music is loud here, it was hard to hear! Noticed a lot of huge screens all around, ideal for sports/event nights. Food was okay, nothing really special—we got the Dublin Dip Sandwich, Shepherd’s Pie and Chicken Tenders. Our beers started off at $9, reasonably priced—the drink menu doesn’t list the drinks prices which I thought was strange, but the food menu does. Starting at 10:30pm, they have “Happy Hour 2-1 Drink Prices” so that was a nice plus!

Their wings are a 3/10. When they gave us a single cup of ranch for an order of 20 wings we knew we were in for a rough time. Wings were soggy and the buffalo lacked flavor. Go anywhere else in Culver for wings. Good atmosphere to watch a game, just don't go here for food.

⭐️⭐️ (2/5) Food was fine, nothing special, but the service was awful. We waited about 10 minutes at the door with no communication, and even after asking for water, it never arrived we had to do it my ourself , also no fork and everything. Also, the pizza size was oversold and much smaller than expected. Disappointing overall.

We initially went for drinks & the unlimited tacos for $12.99 NOT WORTH IT. You get the first 2 tacos, then you WAIT for each individual taco afterwards. & the service isn’t speedy. So your group will be done eating, while you’re still waiting for your taco. My friend waited so long, and by then, she didn’t even want them anymore. She was not able to even take advantage of the $12.99 deal. Yea, not worth it. We got 20 wings, (10 hot, 10 BBQ), 1 burger and the unlimited taco. The wings were fire. Burger & fries, fire. Tacos were mid, prime beef and chicken were just okay. The fish was the best one. Fries were bomb, thick cut w/ ranch, fire. We got drinks, I got a peach and pineapple drink but I substituted the whisky with tequila. During our lunch, our waiter Joy disappeared, didn’t even tell us she went to break, we were looking for her to order our friend another taco, she was gone. Her replacement Kirsten, was rude. I have never been so disrespected by someone at a restaurant ever in my life. Jameson’s was just a complete disappointed because the food was good, but the service was trash, bottom barrel. The gentleman (Manager) was the most hospitable one in there, but even he didn’t get his staff in check. No plans of ever returning to this location. When I was ready to leave I asked Kirsten for a TOGO box and the bill please THE STANK ATTITUDE AND LOOK SHE GAVE ME!? THE TEETH SMACK? THEN KIRSTEN came back attitude still on ten GAVE ME THE WRONG CARD BACK, AND THE WRONG BILL. She snatched the card from my friend, then when I approached her she stating she gave us the wrong bill & card SHE WENT OFF. Like huh? You mad at me because YOU obviously dropped the ball. She started saying I was rude & she was going to let her manager deal with me because she didn’t have time. The manger did absolutely nothing, said nothing, meaning he condones this insane behavior. CRAZY negative rating. 0/5 don’t recommend.

I’ve been going to Jameson’s since they opened in 2023 and have lived in Culver City for over 12 years. They’ve always had a great happy hour and a fun vibe for watching games. Last week, I brought friends from out of town. After a 20-minute wait, we were told happy hour was suddenly canceled because “the owner called.” The place was packed—clearly a money grab. We stayed and ordered 9 double tequila sodas (6 well, 3 Casamigos). The bill came out to $260 before tip, with 15 random drinks listed—some even marked happy hour. The server said, “I know it looks bad but it’s right,” and the manager brushed us off with, “What do you want? It’s L.A.” I felt completely taken advantage of—and I still don’t believe the charges were accurate. Hope they make it right.

Came in with a group of friends and were asked to move tables to make room for a live band — totally fine, we were happy to accommodate. But the table we moved from ended up being taken by another group, and no band showed up until we were leaving, almost two hours later. Once moved outside, I asked if the outdoor heater could either be relocated or turned down. Our server said they didn’t know how and pointed me to (what I assume was) the manager. When I asked them, they looked at me like I was asking something outrageous and said the heat was for "ambiance," yet turned off another table’s heater shortly after. At that point, my friend was sweating, and we had to switch tables again. Our server never checked on us the entire time, and honestly, the whole experience was just bad — unorganized and dismissive. I’ve never had this kind of experience at the Venice / Santa Monica location. If you're in Culver City, honestly, just go to Rocco’s or somewhere else.

I've been a regular at Jameson's in Santa Monica for 8 years and started going to the location in Culver City for the past year or two to watch football games. The food is decent, the atmosphere is good, and the service isn't bad considering how crowded it gets. My complaint, however, is that after last visit this past weekend, I checked my receipt to find that they had sneakily added a 5% "Inflation/Wage Surcharge." to the bill Seriously? It's not enough to charge $20 for a chicken sandwich and fries, you're now adding a 5% surcharge to every bill? I can understand if they need to raise their prices, but just put that plainly on the menu. Sneaking it into the bill without telling people beforehand... that's just fraud. I've seen other restaurants pull this kind of thing as well, and I've stopped going to them. I'm hoping enough people complain about this that Jameson's reconsiders. Until then, I'll be going elsewhere.

Me, my friend and another guest. Three people at the bar, two staff members, slow service, food takes way too long on a slow Tuesday night for two tacos. Bartender used slurs towards my friend for putting his drink too close to where the bartender’s pouring draft beers. There wasn’t need for that language, which was very unprofessional. Could’ve asked us to leave, I wouldn’t have written this review. Never coming here, again. The bartenders were ridiculously unprofessional.

Another patron assaulted my friend in this establishment - slapping her behind in full view of a number of witnesses - and the manager refused to remove the customer, permitting him to leisurely enjoy his beer with zero consequences because he “didn’t see it.” Security was so kind and in full support of us, but the manager’s utterly disgusting and misogynistic behavior was egregious enough that I’ll never be back. Do better.

The Truth

Scam. Been coming here for years. They have a 2 for 1 drink happy hour drink promo but did not honor because it was a ‘slow night’. Also wrongfully charged for drinks I did not order. The bill was twice what it should have been. Please ask for a paper itemized bill before you pay. Fraudulent billing.

It’s your typical metro Irish bar. Bartenders are very friendly. This is a great place to be if you are “irish”appearing. If you look like an angelino that went to public school don’t expect to get served more than one drink and be prepared for security to hover around your group. Cool bar but if you don’t fit the bill you gonna have a better time up the street. Again, typical “irish” bar. Business model built for Culver City and Santa Monica; not Los Angeles.
