When I read Jeff Cruz’s review deeming the food “elevated bar food”, I was a little skeptical as to the quality of what I would be ordering. But I was really pleasantly surprised by the unique flavors and wonderful presentation, even though the atmosphere is decidedly more casual with the general vibe of a sports bar and all the TVs around the restaurant. I for one enjoyed the fact that I could find great food, beer, and watch the game all at the same time. When I went on a Wednesday evening it wasn’t too busy and the servers frequently checked to make sure we were happy and to ask if we needed anything. Overall, great food, awesome service, and good atmosphere, even if it can be loud sometimes.

This was a nice experience for my group of four. We went in and were immediately greeted by a friendly server who was eager to seat us. The buffalo and honey chipotle wings were great! The sliders were a little lackluster, but that didn't take anything away from the experience. The beer selection was great and they know how tk make a cocktail if that's your jam. Also, garlic paste was great! :) We'll be back.

Awesome place!Recommended to me by my old Band director at the local highschool. Vouched for the garlic fries (they use FRESH garlic, get ready for that BITE!)If the photos actually uploaded in order, they are the buttermilk fried chicken, 3 meat bbq tray(brisket, pastrami, pulled pork) w/ side of coleslaw & mashed potatoes, poutine fries, 2 meat bbq tray (brisket & pastrami) w/ side of mashed potatoes & mac, beer flight (bartenders choice), buck cherry, and lastly the bbq pork sliders. Also ordered pork ribs but forgot to take a photo.Great friendly service! Chill atmosphere, great place for food and drinks.Meat trays are definitely worth it. The pulled pork was a smidge dry though. The other selections were significantly more juicy. Should split this someone unless you plan on taking some home.Coleslaw had some spice to it. Very complimentary. Mashed potatoes needed an extra "umph". Something like garlic or ever fresh pepper can bring it up a level.I'm told the poutine fries were good from my friend that ordered them. Didn't get a chance to try any as they demolished the plate! Must've been good!Mac was great, definitely a solid choice!Can never go wrong with sliders!Their sauce definitely makes an improvement to everything.Drinks were great.Loved the pork ribs but everyone else thought they were dry. Maybe they got bad ribs because the ones I tried were pretty juicy(I ate them late too). It's also possible that they might have just been expecting a saucey rib rather than a dry rub rib.The buttermilk chicken was decent, that garlic sauce definitely brought it up a level! Y'all need a Nashville style one too!Overall a great experience and awesome food. Definitely a step up from the last time I came. Will be back for sure!

Massive selection of beers on tap with a passionate staff happy to help you make the right choice!Didn't get to try much food but the truffle fries with truffle aoli was absolutely delicious and I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as good!

Our waiter was so nice! We got a nice table inside right away. Definitely will come back!

Very fun experience. The food was prepared quickly and fresh. The atmosphere is great. TVs on every wall and a very friendly staff. Would go here again.

Great sports bar with an excellent tap list (including pliney ipa)

This place has the best taco Tuesday anywhere in the LA . I couldn't believe I could get the quality of taco I got for 2 dollars. These are without question, the best 2 dollar tacos in Los Angeles. I'm almost afraid to reveal such a discovery, but the goodness in me mustv share.

Bar trifecta: beer menu listed on Untappd, allows for small (5oz) pours, and excellent selection. Very pleased in particular that they carried Pliny The Elder.

This is an awesome place for some craft beer and to grab a bites. They also have a lots of TVs, prefect for game day.
