50 Best Gastropubs near Culver City

“I tried their "The Ivar" burger. The Lamb Merguez Patty and the combination of flavors, including cucumber and mint labneh, were delicious. It was my first time trying a lamb burger, and it exceeded my expectations. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the experience.“

“Great food and a cool place“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“Great restaurant with nice view and awesome vibe.

Located near Manhattan Beach Pier. It has indoor seating with large open windows to get that fresh ocean breeze. Service is warm and friendly.
Although it's a brewery and has multiple screens with different sports playing, they serve more than just pub food. Their menu offers lots of yummy options. Also note they have a good happy hour menu.

The grilled citrus salmon was excellent with just the right amount of crust. Not overcooked. It comes with salad and rice.

The spicy Chipotle chicken pasta was very flavorful. I really enjoyed it and world order it again next time.

The churro bites comes drizzled with caramel. It's warm and fluffy and it's gluten free. Definitely enjoyed it.

Prices are reasonable, portions are adequate.

Parking is a bit challenging in the area. If you can't find street meter parking, go to the underground structure or near city hall parking.

Reservations are recommended especially on weekends or if there's a sports event.“

“Beautiful day to sit outside“

“Edit.. ok thank you so much! We really love this place and I know those picky kids will love it too once they eat some yummy food. OK, I love this place. But there really isn’t many options for kids. We went there when it opened one afternoon and they were all out of fried chicken. So my kids really didn’t eat anything. I think if you add like a hotdog or mac & cheese to the menu that would be so fitting and helpful!“

“I think they serve the best hamburger I’ve ever had in my life! I drive down from LA once a month because I crave it so much.“

“Nothing but great things to say about this place. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing. I never thought I’d be someone who goes out specifically to order a grilled cheese, but here I am constantly craving the French onion grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. Their menu is fantastic, the space is small and super cute, and it’s officially become my local go to spot.“

“Go for the Buffalo cauliflower, stay for the wine/beer 🍔🍟🍕🥗🍗🧇🍺🍷“

“Fun Saturday brunch in Santa Monica. The endless mimosas are the bomb and the food was delicious and nicely presented. The Lobster Benedict was amazing and then I finished it off with the French Toast served with bourbon whipped cream, candied pecans and crumbled bacon. Enjoyable time in a rustic environment. Vote for “Pedro” our amazing waiter who kept our glasses full.“

“This is honestly the BEST BRUNCH I've ever had. So creative, and lots of healthy and allergy friendly options. They have made the most amazing roasted carrots dish I've ever had or even dreamed of. Cannot recommend this brunch enough“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“Great food and staff! You guys rock !!!“

“Max is the man!! Ty for the great service!!“

“Father’s Office in Santa Monica feels like a masterclass from someone who’s seen the world, cut the fluff, and come home to serve only what matters.

You walk in and the room has that quiet confidence of a place built by people who believe in standards, not suggestions. The Office Burger lands like a sermon dry aged beef, blue cheese, sweet onions, arugula all working together with the kind of bold harmony that makes you wonder why anyone ever asked for ketchup in the first place.

The staff moves with the precision of people who care, not because it’s cute but because details are the difference between forgettable and unforgettable. There’s humor in the attitude too a kind of “we’re protecting you from your own bad taste” wink that somehow makes you trust them more. It’s smart, it’s flavorful, it’s unapologetically itself, and walking out you feel like you just tasted something honest in a world that keeps trying to sell you shortcuts.“

“Daniel was amazing, great service Everytime I come. He is one of the main reasons why I come. He knows my order and remembers me. Quick service and always attentive. Love that I get to watch the dodger games here. Will come back again and again.“

“Enjoyed the exotic choices of sausage and the beverage selection.“

“staff is AWESOME, food is delicious. very clean amd comfortable. and of course Top 5 Answers Sundays at pm is a blast“

“Ever since moving to the area, this has been THE date night spot for my husband and I. It is everything we wanted in a local neighborhood bar -- a chill environment with kind staff and fun weekly activities. The music is low enough to be able to have good conversations. There is a lot of spacious seating, including large tables, couches with pillows, etc. The bar food is tasty, the walls are lined with books and games, and they have cute literary-themed cocktails. My husband and I will grab a drink and a board game and sit for hours! We've also seen people reading on the couch with a drink, which is such a vibe. The space is so well curated to be a comfortable spot for anyone -- groups, dates, or solos.

The staff are beyond friendly, and the new owner Joy is a ray of sunshine. She remembers our names when we come visit and has been so passionate about incorporating new weekly activities like taco Tuesdays, karaoke, and trivia.

Catcher in the Rye is a rare gem of a place that feels so comfortable and so familiar. Thank you Joy & all staff for the best neighborhood bar we could ask for!“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“Muy buena comida y excelente atención,“

“Great environment and food…“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“This incredible emporium of groceries, grabs and delights is located on the outskirts of Toluca Lake in the mouth of Burbank, just off the 134 Fwy on Olive Avenue. You can find easy parking in their lot or local street. Love coming here for essentials, their incredible plant-based selections, wine, craft brew and more. The dinning area that doubles as a gastropub is one of kind and they have some of the best vegan items from vegan sushi to vegan via Stage 71 (the name of this cool restaurant meets bar). Everything is easy to navigate and the people who work here are friendly. Great deals on frozen goods, even more savings with Amazon Prime.“

“Amazing view!! Delicious Polynesian Sea Bass. Visited LA for 4 nights and my best meal!!! Walkable area with beach and bike path. Will come back and stay in this area! Restaurant prices are not too high in comparison to other restaurants that aren’t as good.“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“I had an amazing visit to Tipsy Cow , such a great place right in Sherman Oaks off if the most lively part of Ventura Blvd. This is my new favorite place to go The Valley. Joseph recommended the Ma“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“A quick sandwich before a sports event. Quantity of food was larger than I expected but a Chicken sandwich, fries, coke and the bill was $31. No real service as you order on your phone or at the bar. It was ok for a pre game meal but pricey.“

“Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine.

Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some more premium wines by the glass. The neighborhood will appreciate it.“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“Total vibe and great value ! Got a bunch of different things to share for the table - a bunch of skewers, kimchi pancakes, soups, short ribs etc. awesome place to go on an evening out with friends without breaking the bank. Low key vibes love“

“It was nice that they were open before 5pm because of our flight schedule.
The waitress was super nice.
My daughter and I were ordering Ahi Nachos, she suggested to share.
It was very delicious but huge, it was a great suggestion for us.
My husband said chicken in sandwich was hard, so I put 4 stars.
Our son in law liked his pizza.
Music wasn’t loud at all, maybe because there were not so many people because of the time.“

“Nerds + Pleasant Ruckus later at night, "Cheers" bar earlier.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy flow, seating and booth options in 2/3 the place. The bar is too high if you use a standard chair but there is a QR code to order at and you can flag down staff (The guy at the entrance is nice and can help, or go straight once you enter).“

“Always have a blast here!!“

“Absolutely brilliant. Great Guinness“

“We initially wanted to drop by Granvilles studio city, but it had no atmosphere that night,, iwas too bright and kids running around, soo we went to Rosetta, it was sexy charming had a mellow Swank going on, we sat in a long booth and it was warm the place was filled with fire lights setting the mood.. I love this place already … 💕💕

We had delicious drinks and I had the Branzino!!!! Cooked superbly I had to take a picture of it!!!! Are server was a sweet heart she made us feel comfortable!! As we finished we asked for the chef, but instead, we were graced by Mr Frank Leon the Italian Mangr stopped by our table with a beautiful smile and treated us to desert!!! .. mmm mmm good!! 10*********stars“

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.“

“I had the fish and chips from the pub menu. Now I'm not a big seafood eater but I do like it. Anyway, the cod was just a bit fishy in taste, but over all pretty good. The Old Fashions were the bomb. The night we were there was when they celebrated Robert Burns and his ode to haggis...a delightful evening.“

“Felt right at home watching the Pats game!“

“Great experience! Food was delicious - ordered soy marinated crab, spicy crab, cockle bibimbap, and the pork belly kimchi pancake.
There was only 1 server today and he was doing the most bussing and serving all the tables with a positive attitude. I’ve never seen someone work so hard without rest, maintain composure, and treat customers with so much respect.
He deserves a raise!!!“

“This bar is awesome! They offer brunch specials on the weekend, as well as mimosas and delicious Bloody Mary’s. CK generally serves us and is super attentive, professional, and hardworking. This place has had staff turnover and sometimes they’re down to 2 people to make the food and serve the drinks; nonetheless, CK and the staff work hard to ensure everyone’s happy and their order is taken.“

“La verdad es un muy buen lugar fuimos anoche a cenar con mi familia muy emocionados nos trajeron rápido la comida excelente atención pero en el sancocho me salió un cabello cuando mordí la mazorca estaba ahí enrredado eso me daño todo me dio mucho 🤮 asco el cabello era entre negro y rojizo cuando vi una chica que salió de la cocina con ese tipo de cabello suelto 🤮recomendación debería tener una regla el manager todos los cabellos del personal recogido y más si están en la cocina o entran donde están los alimentos. Deberás ojalá a otra persona no le vaya a pasar eso es demasiado desagradable ya que me dañaron mi cena y con tanta hambre que iba y emoción se me quitó todo. Solo me quedo el asco y hasta ahora no lo supero“

“Love this place but today I had the wings and was very upset.Wings were barely warm tasted like they were not fresh. Buffalo sauce was almost tasteless. Like I said I love this places food but the wings were not on par with all the other food I have gotten there.“

“Jay’s Bar is definitely one of the overlooked watering holes in Silverlake. Nestled in the same minimall complex as Garage Pizza, it provides a warm, cozy atmosphere within its brick walls. Besides great drinks, it also offers delicious Japanese-American food until 10:00 PM. They usually have great movies playing on the Criterion Channel, along with sports. Also, on Wednesday nights they host Sal’s Trivia at 9:00, which is always fun. Come on down and say hi to the lead bartender Constantine, and let the good vibes relax you.“

“대박 맛있음~ 써비스도 최고!! I recommend this little hole in the wall place~ 쨘!! 대박나세요~“

“I will recommend this place for many reasons. The vibe in this place is amazing, food is delicious, and the music is always a big plus. You can enjoy your food and dance afterwards. San Salvador Restaurante, great option if you want to dance until 2am.
Highly recommended. Try it.
