Went here on St. Patrick's Day 2025 and thought the special menu would deliver. Unfortunately it was far off course for being authentic Irish food despite the occassion. We really just wanted to try the happy hour menu but that wasn't valid due to the holiday.

Fish and Chips was $30 with corned beef and cabbage at $32. Chips/Fries were oily and overcooked (how does that happen?) and the corned beef tasted really tough. The cabbage also had a funky smell to it.

The service was quick and expedient and our waitress was really kind in making sure we got seated next to a heater on that cold, rain-ish day. Not sure if I'll come back here but it definintely has a nice vibe to it.

Auld Fella is the perfect spot for a late-night meal! The burger was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection at medium-rare, juicy, and full of flavor. Paired with crispy sweet potato fries, it was a winning combo. The bartender and was amazing, crafting some of the best gin drinks I’ve had. The owner is super cool and took the time to chat, adding to the welcoming vibe. Met some great people while there, all friendly and just enjoying the night. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

Great atmosphere for any occasion! My friends and I stopped by The Auld Fella before an event and had a great experience. Our waitress, Elaine, was friendly and recommended a perfect mocktail. The happy hour bites—chicken strips, mac and cheese, and buffalo cauliflower—were tasty and well-prepared. Downtown Culver City has a great vibe, and I'll be back!

Love the chicken pie here. It’s like a Tikka masala with crispy mashed potatoes on top!

I don't eat pork and ordered a sandwich without bacon. They brought it out, I asked the runner to confirm it had no bacon and he just started looking at the plate from the side and told me it'll be how I ordered it. I got through 1/4 of it before realizing there was.

Sucks because the host and the waitress were pretty great, the sandwich was decent, but not what I ordered. If it was an allergy I could have been in really rough shape.

They have ruined this place! I used to love it but now, they have converted it into a discotheque. Horrrriiibly loud music and it's soo bad. I was there a few days back and I had to shout to talk to my friend I went with. And I had such a hard time understanding my friend. So many times I had to ask my friend to repeat what they said. It was so annoying and ruined the whole experience.

Furthermore, when I asked my server for the bill, she just came with a machine and charged me without presenting an itemized bill. Wtf? Why would you not present an itemized bill that shows everything we ordered? That is sooo suspicious.

Last but not the least, the place has become super expensive. My friend and I ordered four drinks in total (of which 2 were non-alcoholic) and two veg starters and a soup and ended up paying $160. It's just insane!!! Never going back.

A mere evening stroll landed us here. It’s the Mac N Cheese meal for me. No worries about safety, security checks all ID before entering. Lovely place to eat and enjoy anytime

HH prices are not HH prices. $15 for one margarita… And here for one and it was tasty. I’m sure everything is good but this IS NOT a HH place
