Zero Service is about the worst service you can possibly get. Been the third time now that I attempt to get an Happy Hour beer there and after waiting, and waiting and waiving, I end up to walk away simply for being ignored by a staff that simply do not care, pay attention and carry around snoddy attitudes. No wonder their terrace is always empty.

Amazingly finding parking on Melrose on a Friday evening was easy. Finding a bench outside was immediate even though the pub seemed busy. The staff was attentive and friendly. The burgers and fries were very tasty. I would return for sure if I want a burger fix with an alcoholic beverage.

Cool seatings out in the shade and cold drinks are perfect for a hot day.

The service was shockingly terrible, even though there were barely any other patrons.

Unfortunately the food was pretty bad. Drinks were good and waitress was nice. Overpriced for such low wailing food.

Relaxed restaurant and bar on Melrose. Came here post-day drinking at All Seasons Brewery for some food. We walked in without a reservation and for 6 people, we were still able to get a table within 5 minutes. We ordered food to split among the group, including 2 orders of Brussel sprouts, poutine, fries, the burger, mussels, and bread pudding. Portions were on the smaller side, but it’s fine. The Brussel sprouts were quite crispy and I liked the poutine, though the chicken gravy was a tad watery. The waiters were all really nice, and when more people from our larger group came, they helpfully put together more tables together so we can sit together.Credit cards accepted. Restrooms are available in the back left. Indoor dining only (no outdoor seating). Street parking. Overall, a laidback meal with food good to share family-style.

As a Brit visiting LA for the first time, sitting outside in the rain with a good pint and a plate of fish and chips was quite ironic but made me feel right at home! Great place to sit and take in the magic that is Melrose. Special thanks for our server for going above and beyond (and letting us know about the happy hour)!

Friendly staff and customers. Welcomed a Buffalo NY books fan in to watch the elite 8. Had a few beverages and enjoyed the ambiance of an upscale sportsbar with on point bartenders. Highly recommend!

Love this chill place. Great food, great drinks. Nice chill crowd. What I like most is the dog friendly outdoor setting. And if you are dining aline and your pooch can't be left alone or you worry someone will snatch them....take em to the bathroom. The potato beef pie is amazing. My favorite ite.
