“MY FAVORITE LA BAR!!! My review is loooong overdue as I've been coming here for years. I've moved further South on Ventura but I still manage to come to what I feel is my home in bar form. I'm a woman who loves mixology and good bartending and most bars are extremely male centric. TLP is great for women and men. It wouldn't surprise me that many women love this bar. You will hear everyone mention "the feel" of the bar and it's because they seem to consistently hire AMAZING BAR AND WAIT STAFF. Kudos to management for keeping such excellent consistency. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME..I come to the bar I sit at the bar and get an INCREDIBLE convo from the bartenders. They always serve me the most fantastic drinks and make me feel like a FUGGIN QUEEN. I love them so much for this. They manage people well and that's hard to come by. Even if I've had a bad day they seem to always say the thing that lifts my spirits -- it's wild. Therapy in a bar almost. lol Keep up the good work guys! See you again soon.“

“Loved the delicious cheeseburger, hot crispy sandwich, and calamari. Can't go wrong with these! The service was so so. It took 2 servers to make us happy if that tells you something... refilling water and getting side items in a timely matter.“

“Lively atmosphereGood crowdComfy ambianceI come here for the short rib poutine. They make it a little different by melting the cheese curds, the gravy is the bomb and they add these delicious jalapenos that are grilled and sweet.Last time I came in there was a misunderstanding about my order and the following visit José made it right and hooked me up by making sure the order was right this time.I would recommend Happy hour and on Wednesdays it's Happy hour all day!“

“This place was awesome. I was looking for a place to have a drink and found Woodman right off Ventura. The bartender Chad was great. He pretty much worked the entire restaurant and did a fantastic job keeping up with the service and being engaged with the customers. It's a sports bar so they had on the games. I didn't really have anything to eat but the chips and salsa. Being a salsa person it was pretty goods. I'll definitely be back.“

“Great food and the owners were incredibly kind. One of our favorite things about vacation 2023. The Greene's from Idaho love you.“

“My boyfriend and I love to come here for local eats. They have a good variety of beer from the valley which I like too. Michies are 10/10 ! Wednesday night they have whisky flights. I love places that have different specials each night. Menu is small but lots of good stuff on it! We were in the mood for a burger so we came here and it did not miss ! We were pleased with our order. Order the garlic toast with the dip 10/10! Fresh chips 10/10 service is okay the bartender seemed a little distracted that night but it's okay we're all human and I get it. It did not ruin the experience. I also say this place is cute for a date night or girls night as well for something local and fun!“

“Walkable from my house which is huge bonus. Sweet, helpful staff. We went for Happy hour. Had 2 delicious drinks. Tried the deviled eggs...who doesn't love bacon on their eggs? We also had the fish and chips-dint really love f and c but damn this was tasty. Just the right amount of batter and fish. Nice spacious, well lit place. Parking lot available in back!“

“Great selection of beers, including one of my favorites, Golden Road hefeweizen.Good food is a level up from typical bar food with vegan options for most menu items.Service is a little rough as you need to order at the bar, so if you sit outside, it's a lot of running in and out.“

“This place is a hidden gem in the valley and even the lot it's in you wouldn't assume it's good. This is located in the same lot as the Food 4 Less and Baskin Robbins. And I am so mad I didn't get this place sooner, the savory empanadas I had were DELICIOUS. I had the corn, pork kahula and a chicken one that I forgot that all came with their individual sauces and I WILL be going back for more. I was however so disappointed in the banana Nutella empanada- it was very mushy and the Nutella taste was nonexistent. Either than that the actual place is super clean and a cool ambiance to it!“

“In my quest for a memorable lunch spot in the Hollywood area, I stumbled upon a true gem—the flavors at this LA establishment are simply unparalleled.The corn tostada left me speechless with its smoky burnt corn aioli—a true symphony of flavors. Equally impressive was the tomato tostada, adorned with an abundance of queso fresco that perfectly balanced the charred heirloom tomato jam. I wholeheartedly recommend trying these tostadas for their unique and delightful flavor profiles.For mains, we indulged in the chilaquiles, which, although slightly saltier than expected, boasted tender short rib that stole the show. Unlike the typical chilaquiles overwhelmed by chips, this dish offered a perfect balance of flavors.In summary, I can't wait to return to this establishment and explore more of their delectable offerings. It's truly a must-visit for anyone seeking a culinary adventure in the heart of Hollywood.“

“I always come here for the Soy Sauce Fermented Raw Shrimp! The sauce is prepared perfectly every time. My guests have tried a variety items on their menu from Galbi to Tofu to soups and stews. They love everything they tried. Very authentic Korean food. The service is always friendly and patient to explain the menu items. It's a perfect setting to catch up with family and friends and have great conversation because the restaurant is never too loud or noisy. AND I LOVE THE K-POP MUSIC THEY PLAY!!!! Absolutely my best go-to Korean restaurant.“

“This had all the makings of a great burger, but unfortunately it fell down on one of the most important pillars--execution! Specifically, the meat was not well prepared. I'm not sure if I came on an off day, but the quality was lacking; some bites were too dry; some bites were not seasoned well. It's like whatever beef mixture they were using reached the bottom of the barrel and was not fresh. Also, I ordered the patty rare, and it was served medium-well. Ordinarily, I wouldn't make a big fuss about this sort of thing, but they are clearly going for the "elevated" burger experience at a premium $17 price point, and at those levels they really need to deliver flawlessly, every time. I also felt that the burger was a bit on the small side. I could fit the entire sandwich in one hand. The rest of the composition was actually quite good. I tried their signature "Stout," which comes with blue cheese, Gruyère, bacon, grilled onions, tomatoes, and a horseradish sauce. Each element complements the others really well, without any one becoming overwhelming. Flavor wise, it's all there. I just wish the patty pulled its own weight! I also tried the loaded fries, which were delicious. Specifically, whatever cheese they use melts perfectly over fresh, hot, crispy fries, and had a consistency that was not too runny and not too thick. The Goldilocks of melted cheese! These were also pricey at $9 though, and the portion was also on the small side. Overall, I'm glad that I tried what is allegedly one of the "best burgers in LA," but I won't be running back.“

“Really one of the best places to eat in Santa Monica. The wait staff is wonderful everyone is incredibly nice and it’s as if you become family when you’re here. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. It is a great place to meet up with friends, get some work done or just relax with family.“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“We always enjoy The Six. great outdoor dining area.“

“I hosted a small happy hour for some friends on the patio at The Fat Dog because I was visiting from out of town. From the moment I emailed to make a patio reservation, the staff was awesome! They had tables reserved for me at our appointed time.Service was quick and courteous and the food and drinks came out quickly.Everything tasted great. Their margarita was the best I’ve had in LA! They also have an amazing craft beer list. We sampled appetizers and small plates like the fries, onion rings, chips, potato skins, and of course the signature Fat Dog hot dog. Everything was hot and super flavorful.We also loved that the patio is dog friendly.Highly recommend this spot for food and drinks in North Hollywood and will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: A friend with Celiac was easily able to get a gluten free bun and ensure a safe meal!Parking: Meters on Magnolia are a gamble but we found a spot right in front of the restaurant. Pay attention to the ones that are 2 hour parking versus only 15 minute loading!!Wheelchair accessibility: Staff was super accommodating with my mobility scooter. Smooth entrance in and out of restaurant and patio!“

“The Lavender Fields Mocktail was probably the best drink I have ever had! I lived in Los Angeles several years ago and recently took a trip to visit old friends. They suggested Laurel Tavern as our dining spot and it was not a miss! I ordered the Lavender Fields Mocktail and added a shot of vodka to it. Hands down...best drink I have ever had! Highly Recommend! “

“What a fun, little hidden gem! If you love games, good food, great service, and a cozy vibe this is your new spot. Food: They have a pretty solid selection of great bar food. I tried the sweet potato tater tots which were really nice, seemed like they were actually made in house. Also had the smash burger and it was really, really good! Freshly made, great quality beef, and very juicy. Unlike a lot of other bars that make bar food - this didn't feel like it came from frozen and wasn't rushed. Service: Everyone here was so kind, patient, and friendly. It was really refreshing to find a place where they seemed to enjoy being present. Ambiance: Very homey and cozy, would make a really nice second/third date or spot to meet friends for some board games.“

“1st time here, we had the BBQ ribs and the sliders. The ribs are amazing, flavorful, and meaty. We also tried the bread pudding, and omg, it was amazing. I recommend it. Next time, I'll have 2 so I don't have to share with my wife. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you Lorena.“

“Excellent craft beer selection; food menu looked interesting.“

“The bad: They ask what side you want but don't tell you it's an extra charge. That was a little upsetting. They made it sound like the sandwich came with a side. The place was super good! Got the Liars fuego steak melt and it didn't disappoint. Perfect level of spicy. Will definitely get again. Also go the buffalo wings. Super good. We will be back.“

“On Sunday we went for brunch. The good was ok. I got the chicken and waffles and my friend got the salmon Benedict. The food was average. Nothing really special with the meal. The bar was great. This place is much better for drinks than for food.“

“Wow! So far this is one of the best places I've been traveling to have a beer! The selection on tap was awesome! The servers were amazing helping me choose a beer (s). Oh and the Manager running these stores took the time to talk with me as well as advice on the beer and . The menu/food I had a hard decision on with such an amazing selection of bar? food, but this was not bar food, it was the best bar food! They touted the best burger, which I almost did and would have been amazing but instead I went with the "if anyone puts this one on the menu it's going to be good" and went with the Grilled Artichoke ;-) OMG it was fawesome! I could eat all my veggies that way forever! Oh all while I I listened to Earth Wind and Fire ? ... ENOUGH SAID ?“

“Work right across from here so this place is one of my go-tos for lunch. Never actually sat down and ate inside even though the energy is always feels good. I've gotten just fries from this place about 4-5 times. There's a reason i've gotten it 4-5 times. They're crispy, always fresh and well seasoned. They also give you three sauces: spicy mayo, garlic aioli, and honey mustard. All are amazing and my favorite is mixing all the sauces and putting them on top of the fries. I've also orders the mozzarella sticks and the classic burger, no cheese, lettuce tomato and pickles. The mozzarella sticks are big and the cheese stretch is perfect. For the burger I didn't care much for the bun but the taste of the burger was amazing. I always come back and will always come back.“

“The ketchup comes in the form of a sheet called leather ketchup, making it easy to eat. The quantity is also good.The side menu is delicious, the beer is also very particular, and it can be said that this is the number one hamburger restaurant in Los Angeles.I'm Japanese, but I highly recommend it.“

“Came here for some drinks. It was my first time trying this spot. They play loud music, have pool tables and air hockey games. Alot of TVs around so it's a great place to watch games. I liked the nostalgic decor in the bathrooms and old magazine style cut outs laminated on the bar tables. Great energy and the people are really nice too. They make a really good espresso martini. We shared the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.Parking: They have metered parking and paid parking garage“

“We had a ladies lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. We made reservations online through Yelp about two weeks prior and were seated promptly on arrival at reservation time. We ordered drinks, appetizers, pizza, and flat breads to share. The buffalo cauliflower (has a nice kick), Brussel sprouts, and parmesan truffle fries were good, plentiful and crispy. The pear royale pizza and heirloom tomato flat bread were really good. The skinny studio heat cocktail was delicious and left me wanting a second round of it. Atmosphere is loud and it gets really packed and busy here. Service was attentive. There is a separate room in the back where a baby shower was held. Six Chow can accommodate big groups and is great for celebrations. Several tables were celebrating birthdays where staff came out with cake/desserts and sang at various times. Valet is available in the front, parking lot is small, and there are street parking.“

“Was told the kitchen was already closed when we arrived but then a group of 3 that walked in after us was able to order some fries which is what we had wanted. Got an old fashioned and a Diablo. Old fashioned was good and on the stronger side. Karaoke was going on. There were a lot of people but had no trouble getting a seat and it didn't feel crowded. The bartender (I think Mike?) was nice and checked in even though it was busy.“

“We wanted to try a new place and this was a great choice. Had the fish tacos, AMAZING!! Had the pulled pork nachos, also AMAZING!!! Of course we had drinks. Wine isn't the right choice, but they have a variety of beers. Had the michelada and my lips are still a bit spicy. Super yummy. I would recommend this place to friends and we will be back.“

“Great little sports bar on sunset blvd with great cocktails and a solid draft beer list. Make sure to book a reservation on weekends because this place gets busy! They have several TVs throughout the bar so every seat in the house is good. Best of all they have plenty of vegan options which is rare for a sports bar! The vegan tacos are amazing. It's also dog friendly. I'm a big fan.“

“The food, service, and atmosphere are super at turning fork. It has quickly become our favorite local eat as a Studio City resident. Everything on the menu from the pizzas to the fish and chips never disappoint and the servers are excellent!“
