45 Best Beer Bars in Los Angeles

“Budonoki is a true hidden gem. Every dish is beautifully presented, incredibly flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. The owner is warm and welcoming, and the service is thoughtful—our server even surprised us with complimentary items from the chef, all of which were outstanding.

My husband and I keep coming back and have brought clients, friends, and family, and everyone has had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate with dim lighting, limited seating, and a relaxed vibe set to tasteful hip hop in the background.

Overall, it’s a standout spot we’re always happy to return to.“

“We stopped for drinks and dessert. It was a great experience. They sat us right away and our server Travis was friendly and very attentive, from suggesting wines that fit our pallet to making sure we were not needing anything. Midwest gals are happy to have found this gem!“

“I've been there once and it was fine last time. The cocktails were quick and the atmosphere was good. Overall, it was pretty good“

“great atmosphere and welcoming“

“This place rules. Cheese plate was unique and delicious — fed three of us. Charming glasses suited to each type of beverage. Big variety of drinks. The blue walls, the radio, the tiny miniature desert scene under the window?!! The vibes are immaculate.“

“No explanation needed. You're missing out if you don't drink wine or eat food from here. Shout out PJ, Zach, JP, Molly, Simona, Ryan, Corbin, Jose, Sean (didn't follow me back on IG though *UPDATE: he did!), and all the other fab people who work here.“

“10’s across the board: food, atmosphere, staff. Always something new on the menu. Cannot go wrong eating (or drinking) here. Friendly servers, inviting atmosphere. Incredible meats - that can be purchased to cook at home too. Best fries.“

“This is one of our favorite places to enjoy a beer, glass of wine, and unpretentious but tasty food. They did also get their liquor license recently, but I’m so used to my regular beer/wine orders that I haven’t had anything else yet.
The staff is always on point, even at their busiest.“

“Plenty of good IPAs, draft, and domestic beers. The Backyard Burger was wonderful, definitely coming back just for that. Having Delirium Tremens in their beer stock was amazing, hadn't seen many bars with this many good options in a while. A good place for a quiet and private date, but with good walking distance to Echo Park and local bars and venues.“

“Good food and good ambiance! We arrived early and it was pretty empty but started to get busy by the time we left. I had the pork taco and steak taco. The pork one was delicious!“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“go here! you won't be disappointed. Tell Tom some Okies said hi!“

“Good drink specials and a solid atmosphere.“

“Super cool, super local and great beer. Loved Lars and The Audition“

“Good wine, cheese, and ambience.“

“Great little spot to eat food that you bought at the airport. Bartender is super friendly too! Just keep in mind you will be paying the price of a 6 pack or 10 pack for 1 beer (Coors Light) so to get more bang for your buck, order the Long Island iced tea or the 20 oz Space Dust IPA. :)“

“Great atmosphere, comfortable, drinks are AMAZING!!! Staff are attentive, and courteous. Definitely will be returning!“

“My friend and I came to DTLA Ramen late Monday afternoon in order to wait out the traffic and have an early dinner, and lucky for us, we got in on the last hour of Happy Hour (weekdays 3pm-6pm), so we got $2 off our Ramen and $1 off our salted Edamame.

The Edamame was pretty good, although not too out of the ordinary even with the salt.

Our Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, however, was savory, albeit not that spicy even though my friend got the Spicy (she rated it 4/10 in spiciness) ) and I got the Extra Spicy (6/10 in spiciness). So if you love it even hotter, don't be afraid to ask for even more heat.

The Chashu pork slices were nicely thick and charred, soaking up the broth while maintaining just enough crispiness. Both the broth and the noodle were also thick and delicious, giving you plenty of flavor with every slurp.

If there was something I felt lacking, it would be to have a bit more flair to the taste, since everything is a little one note and not a lot of depth and texture in the flavor. But that's OK, it was tasty as it was so we still ended up satisfied!“

“Really enjoyed our experience at Haru Sushi & Izakaya. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and everything came out nicely prepared. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Only small thing—the miso soup could use a little attention, as it didn’t have quite the flavor we expected. Overall, a great experience👍🏽“

“This is easily one of my favorite places to eat near UCLA! I ordered the beef and lamb gyro Bowl, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were crisp, and the flavors blended so well together. Don’t skip the fresh fries—they’re hot, crispy, and addictive. Their new Pistachio cream frozen yogurt is also a refreshing treat after the meal.

What really stands out is the excellent service. Maribel provides some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. She’s friendly, professional, and always makes sure guests are taken care of. The restaurant itself is spotless, spacious, and comfortable whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick meal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food and fast tables! Let’s gooo!!!! Best Michelada I’ve ever had!“

“Always love the food here, and the staff is amazing! So quick and kind with everything! Lisa is on top of everything!“

“This is one of the best spots in Atwater Village. The owner is so welcoming. Service is top notch. The food is great! We loved the fried pickles, awesome wings, one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time and the link / sausage sampler was huge and tasty. We will definitely come back to this cozy place!“

“They have great lunch specials for both ramen and sushi! Plus validated parking, which is rare in Hollywood, on the Eastown property!“

“Had a blast. #GoBucs!! #DALvsTB“

“Four words to describe the food. Yummy yum yum yum😋“

“Very good service! Awesome bartender!“

“Best bar in LA! Go for the mezcal, stay for the exceptional service and ambiance. I was a regular for many years, because everywhere else pales in comparison.

(Pro tip: Ask about recommendations from their exclusive mezcal selection.)“

“I love the Mexican food, everything is delicious, recommend!“

“Loved the energy here the music was great and the food was amazing 🤩“

“I love this place, my sister and me went here after going to 99 ranch. There was a wait, but not long. Feel authentic like real Italian. All server were very nice and they are all Italian so it feels very authentic as well. Very small Restaurant like hole in the wall, but when you have good conversation with group doesn’t matter. I will continue to go back and take my family here because they love Italian food. Bread with oil very good also feel authentic. Very loud inside because it’s small restaurant but not rowdy everyone specially customers are very nice and just talk amongst each. There are outside seating as well maybe two tables or three but it’s too hot outside so we requested to eat, I think we only waited no more than 30 minutes. I had the chef’s choice which was on the entrance menu and I really like it, I forgot what it was called, but it was seafood pasta. My sister had Pomodoro pasta and she like, food, not too heavy and we ordered another pasta to go I don’t remember what it’s called, but it had vodka in it Or the name.“

“Been coming here the past few months, I think since they first opened. But was recommended to check it out thru a mutual connection and they definitely did an amazing job - inside is super clean, tvs and games, football watch parties and some other events happen periodically. I'd def recommend coming to check out a game, or a karaoke night. Staff are super friendly, would definitely recommend coming thru!“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“Best avocado toast ever, coffee is divine“

“O so stop in on a monthly basic to buy my money order for my rent add money to my prepaid card and play lottery. They're very curtious and sometime a bit crowded especially the first part of the month. It's not the cleaniess place due to the area and they type of people that enter this particular place. Or her wise it's convenient because I live 3 blocks away from this place.“

“I grew up on German food from my native German grandmother and mother. All the dishes were authentic. The sausages were wonderfully spiced and not fatty. The mackerel had a wonderful sauce and the apple cake was better than my grandmother’s. The home brewed beers were great and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Think of it as a Biergarten meets LA chic. All the good food without the lederhosen, dirndels and oompah band. The only reason I can think the rating isn’t 5.0 is the more negative comments are from people who wanted the shlock or from people who don’t understand real German food.“

“DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIND AMAZING GREEK FOOD @ THE L.A ZOO? I didn't, until now! Reggie's Bistro has to be one of the best places I've ate at in a recreational place (zoo, theme park, etc.). I got a falafel bowl and OPA was it delicious! It came with Quinoa, arugula salad, Hummus, Tzatziki, Artichoke, Roasted tomato, Cucumber, and Harissa oil! Not only was the salad tossed and mixed when it arrived to my table, but everything came out fresh! The dressing and veggies were phenomenal. Vegans and veggie addicts, you'll like this place! All the food items here are made to order! The falafel was perfectly crispy, I have zero complaints. I topped my lunch off with a large chocolate chip cookie and I was in heaven.

Reggie's is pricey but definitely worth the visit, dang this gator can cook! I also saw some delicious burgers, sandwiches and wraps on the menu. I wish I lived closer so I can visit everyday! The staff was pretty good, they took our orders quickly and were friendly enough. Drinks are self-served at the drinking fountain and you pick up your food when your handheld buzzer goes off.

My party and I didn't experience a long line or any craziness! Reggie's outdoor seating has shade covering all tables. The place is great for smaller groups and it's quiet. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Att: Customers of El Compadre do not order online from this app app.orderhero.us its a SCAM. they take your money and the restaurant does not receive your order. It has nothing to do with the restaurant. Call the restaurant, its the best way to secure your order directly.“

“Very good place, friendly bartender very good cocktails 🍹“
