22 Best Gastropubs near La Canada Flintridge

“My wife, Sara, and I dined at The Proper last night. It was our first time there. I had very recently become aware of it on Yelp. We were treated very well by our server, Connor, and by another man, whose name we do not know. He probably was an assistant manager. We asked him about the history and the décor of the restaurant. He offered to have the owner stop by our table to answer questions he was more in a position to address. The owner, Rick, did come by and we had nice chat. Rick and his staff are terrific folks. And we really enjoyed the food. Sara had the chicken piccata and I had the jambalaya pasta. We enjoyed a bottle of Sonoma Cutrer chardonnay and the warm butter toffee cake for dessert. It was an all-around terrific evening. Sara wants to try the miso salmon next time and I will probably order the blackened shrimp tacos. Another thing that’s a plus is that we don’t eat red meat or pork - we’re fish and fowl only – and there are many items on The Proper’s menu that we can eat. And we may elect to dine in the bar on our next visit, which is really cool and charming.“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“As part of a family date day we stopped by the Morrison on our way back from Griffith Observatory. As usual, it didn't disappoint. It was still happy hour which was indeed a plus.WILLIAM was our server. He was very nice and friendly. He checked on us numerous times. Enough that we knew were taken of but not too much that he interfered with our lunch.I ordered 1903 lagger and my wife ordered the "Spring Fling". Her drink wasn't loaded but I could definitely taste the alcohol. Drinks were tasty and paired well with the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and turkey burger. We swapped the regular fries with sweet potato fries. We didn't know it when he ordered but they were garlic fries and let me tell you they were... Pretty good! My wife had to leave her regular fries to steal my sweet potatoes.My daughter had the kids meal burger sliders on Hawaiian bread. The serving of fries was NOT kid size. She was over the moon... She loves fries.We ordered dessert, cookies and ice cream. My daughter thought she was in heaven. I didn't partake bc I had had too many garlic fries but they both seemed to enjoy them.Needless to say we'll be back again sometime soon.In the meantime - if you're looking for a yummy meal in a cool ambiance, look no further and stop by the Morrison (no, I was not in any way compensated for this review!)Oh and parking is not the best (small parking lot) but easy to find parking in the street. Be patient and believe me it is worth the wait!!“

“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.“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“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.“

“Food was good but heavy! This is a loud restaurant and is good if you're wanting a bar style environment with food and drinks. Hence the name - pocha. One of the owners or managers was walking around checking on customers which was so nice. Overall, I enjoyed the food and service was decent but it was a little too heavy for me so I probably won't return.“

“Just a nice place to relax and have good food.“

“Super friendly service here! The lady running the bar and register was chatty and fun and friendly. I tried their spicy vegan sausage and I liked that it was something they made in house. They have a few vegan hot dogs and you can choose your toppings. Tasted really good. Also got a yummy pretzel. I really recommend the chipotle aioli. Small parking lot available.“

“Great choice of beers and exceptional service in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Room to sit and relax outside with heaters and exquisite foliage. The bar is a great place to hang out and try out new beers.“

“Every meal was delicious. The music was dope as well.“

“ITS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT,DRINK, AND LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC 5 DAYS A WEEK!!“

“Muy buena comida y excelente atención,“

“Every once in an awhile you have an unbelievable waiter and they make your entire week and perspective on life feel better. We just moved to town and had the pleasure of being served by Nikki. We love this place! The food was great the service was exceptional and we will be coming back soon.“

“The York is a no frills bar with good variety of drinks but my favorite was the Mother Earth Cali Creamin. Tastes like a creamsicle!The women wanted to try the Apple Pie cider but was sold out, settled for Apple cider in a can, and at 8% it didn't disappoint. Would come again to chill and hang out and try something new.We sis miss out on a live band but the music was decent. ?“

“Very chill, relaxing spot with great food and service! Highly recommended!“

“We didn't order any food, so this review is for drinks service, and vibes. On our way from the Petersen Automotive to Pijja Palace, we had some time to kill and so found Jay's Bar on Yelp. The four of us arrived a little after 4:00 on a Thursday, found street parking (rather than the tiny lot), and pulled up to find two other patrons and who we think is the owner doing some business on her computer at a table. Erich was very friendly but not imposing. The happy hour deal of Kirin and gyoza sounded good, but we were on the way to dinner and decided not to. My brother ordered the Big Bad Baptist (on draft!!! I haven't seen it in forever!), my sister-in-law enjoyed her Brooks Dry Cider, Jim G. had a Space Dust on draft and I enjoyed the Yuzu You cocktail, which was a nice mix of shishito-infused gin, yuzu liqueur, lime, and cracked pepper (there's also a bit of simple, which I asked Erich to omit). There was some nice music playing and a rousing tennis match on one tv (at least according to Erich and the two other patrons) and on the other, the end of a Godzilla movie and then an episode of The Sopranos. I imagine at night when this place is packed, the vibe is a bit different, but it was great for our purposes. We are way far away in the northwest SFV, so this isn't a place we'll drive all the way here for, but if we're in the area, we'd definitely stop in again.“

“If you aren't going to Tam's during the Christmas season, you're missing out on your Christmas Carol fantasy. Period clad carolers take requests, cocktails are served in tea pots, the charm is endless. If you don't want to commit to a whole dinner situation, you can still feel the vibes by just going to the bar and having a tasty cocktail. It can get quite busy, so if you're dining make a reservation ahead of time, and if you're hitting the bar consider your timing.“

“Very family friendly atmosphere and outstanding service. We enjoyed our dinner with extraordinary talented Mariachi!“

“This is a super fun place to get some drinks and food with friends. I've gone a handful of times now and the servers are all very nice and helpful. The food and small bites are so delicious and you can never go wrong with a little soju and beer. I love ordering the brisket stir fry with bean sprouts and cheese buldak. They also post lots of information and updates on their Instagram (@gangnampocha_la), so make sure to check it out!“
