Great place to sit and have a lunch beer. Went in on a Friday afternoon and it was quiet. Ordered garlic fries and a double ipa, both were delicious. Bar tender was nice, maybe a little quiet. Would definitely recommend this bar!
One of the best NFL football experiences in my lifetime. The bartenders we're super cool & attentive, generous pours on their drinks. Everyone there was happy to be there + my Niners winning probably put me in an even BETTER mood. I'll be back again!!!!
Great pub with huge TV screens for sports watching. Typical pub food but they also have accommodations for gluten-free options. You can also order from the Indian restaurant next door and have it delivered by the same crew. They have happy hour options which are great deals. The staff are friendly and the management is very helpful. Also they have very safe socially distant covet protected outdoor seating. It's a great Los Feliz spot to watch a game or have happy hour.

Great place for sports. Good menu for a sports bar. Service can be slow when important games are on but it is understandable.

Sports bar near my work with a bunch of big screen TVs and a good selection of alcoholic beverages. The pizza there was pretty good but the fish and chips were below average. Bar tender and waitresses were friendly and helpful.
It's a good local pub. Lots of ample seating. Service is takes awhile and not the most attentive but this comes in part from being a pretty large venue. For me, it's a little loud to have a conversation without needing to raise your voice even when there's no sporting event. Still, I recommend it for decent food, a good beer selection and a nice assortment of games (pool, arcades and I think there may be darts).
Good local sports bar with an amazing selection of beer, lots of booths, and areas for large groups. The food is standard bar food, and tastes great, but it's the selection of beers that really stand's out. I'm not a sports guy, but I do enjoy returning to this place.
Big open space with plenty of TV's to watch the games. Friendly and attentive staff on hand. There is outdoor seating as well. I went on a Saturday, mid-afternoon and it wasn't too bad. The food was traditional bar food. Nothing quite special or interesting about it. I had the nacho burger with french fries. Both tasted like frozen food. This place looks like it could really do well using fresher ingredients in their menu offering.
A pretty solid sports bar with other fun activities, like pool, trivia nights and other games. The food isn't anything spectacular. A pretty broad range in types and styles; pizza, burgers, pastas, chicken dishes, etc. There is a huge beer tap selection, which makes trying new beers fun and usually something for everyone. A lot of TVs so easy to catch any game that is on somewhere in the bar, plus a good layout to see a lot of the TVs at once.
A good place to go for casual drinks and a bite. Their selection is pretty big, so most people can find something to eat and drink. It can get kind of loud and hot when they do trivia and such, and sometimes the service can be a bit slow if you're not at the bar, but if you're not in a hurry, it's a great place to hang out.
Nice quiet upstairs, great atmosphere which changes between an upbeat downstairs, and a chatty intimate upstairs. Great bar for parties of 2-6. Whether you're coming for a sports game or just to have a nice chat with your pals, this bar can accommodate everyone. It's even got some billiard tables and air hockey upstairs for some fun competition!
This has been my local pub for some years now. It's a great spot for major sports events year round. They even adjust opening hours accordingly - I've had a beer here while watching 8am World Cup matches! Food is better than I expect at a bar. They have sidewalk tables that are great for having an afternoon beer with my dog. Good beer selection and full bar. Only gripe is the service can be slow, maybe they don't have enough staff, and sometimes it's confusing whether you should order at a bar or sit and wait for a server. They haven't offered the free pizza during happy hour for years.
One of my favorite spots to watch sports and get a good beer. They have an incredible beer selection with rotating and seasonal options. I would give it a full 5 stars, unfortunately the bartenders can be inattentive at times. The food has always been delicious and quick! Hats off to the kitchen staff! If you’re in the area or going to visit LA it’s worth a look! Even if you’re stopping for a quick drink you should. There’s a very nice rustic atmosphere and aesthetic. Happy hour has some good deals as well!

This review is while we're still under COVID-19 protocols. There are limited beer and food options but still plenty of options to keep you satisfied. They have beers from light to dark. Plenty of liquor all of flavors and varieties. The food is bar food - and I'll leave it at that. The staff is amenable and helpful. They also are on-top of cleaning up before, after and during your visit. I felt like the cleaning measures were good.
Idk what happened to this place…. Food was fine. Beer was flat and expensive. Service was fine. Bathrooms were hideous. One sink just straight up pours water out the back and onto the floor. A ball of hair and dust was hanging from the ceiling above our table and I was so distracted by it …. I will go back because there’s a lack of good football bars in the area but …. I won’t be looking forward to it. I used to love coming to this place! Such a bummer. Also don’t get why they haven’t put the booths back in the patio so you can eat and watch a game outside but not on the front sidewalk….
I rated the food poor/fair...but to be fair I only had the fried calamari. I found it bland and plain. The sauce was a little salvation. To drink, I was there for happy hour and I had Dos Equis pints, the happy hour rate was 5 bucks a piece. I thought that was a bit steep. They do have nice TVs and atmosphere, its a good place to watch game.

This is a bad bar in a great neighborhood. I'm here a lot, but this bar is bad. I think that's the story with most people at this bar. They were doing something cool nearby and then decided to get a drink after and this bar was just close. It's loud and there's a huge bar but only ever one or two bartenders who are doing their best but there's usually just too many people to get your drink quickly. And it's a sports bar, so the place is mostly lit by the 50 televisions and I don't know, it's a weird vibe.
