Father's Orifice Just say no to this place. This place has a no substitutions or modifications rule. We have to assume the staff is incapable of modifying orders due to a lack of mental ability. I applaud them for hiring intellectually challenged staff but not at the cost of a sub par ordering experience. Other places hire a diverse set of team members and are able to modify orders. I don't get it... this place probably reports losses for taxes on purpose. No way they're making a profit with these bad reviews. The food was tasteless as I wasn't able to order according to my dietary requirements. The inside is dark. Great place to take a nap. They won't wake you up because you order at the bar and no one will bother to tell you that. So if you're homeless this is a good place to nap but if you're hungry... eat ANYWHERE else.

Stopped in to have a drink after having dinner nearby. We did come on a weeknight so there was no problem getting a seat at the bar, the seats aren't that comfortable but it's fine. There are wooden tables for larger groups outside. We were able to get a drink before closing, which was nice. It seems like most places in this area close around 10 on weeknights. It was easy to flag down a bartender. The service wasn't anything memorable but the drinks were a fair price, a full pour and a good ambience. Just what we were looking for to catch up and chill vibe, but not a must do if you're in the area.

Fathers is settled amongst so fancy furniture retailers. The first impression was a clean and relaxed ambiance. Then, I captured a glance of the beer selection and was excited and impressed. The bartenders were happy to offer their wisdom to the best selections and pairing. I ordered the office burger as that was the goal of this mission. I was fully satisfied with a dryaged buttery flavor with delicious homemade sauce, cheesy, and delicious. The fries came with a garlic aoli that was amazing but not recommended for a date...jk both eat it and all good. Only warning if you do not enjoy med or medium rare then definitely go well on your meet. It's not my recommendation, but for those that get a little offended by some pink. I can't wait for my return

the burger is just phenomenal. you gotta come here for the burger. The chicken sandwich is very good too, but it doesn't compare to the burger.

Came here last night and it was a vibe! Always love coming here for some drinks and a good chat. It's dark and moody but it's also a cashless bar so don't expect to pay in cash. I like their service from when you walk in to when you get your food. They have a lot of beer and cocktail options but the food here is what I love. One of my favorite burgers is here and their fries in the garlic aioli sauce is amazing! I also liked the lamb skewers with yogurt dip and pork belly dish which was juicy and flavorful. I feel this is a cool date night spot or group hang night out. Can't wait to try other menu items and cool drinks!

Great place for after work happy hour! Great apps/food and lovely drinks. Staff is fast and sweet. Comfortable place for a group to sit and pretty casual but nice. Definitely coming back here.

Came in today for a drink and was transported back to the era of Mad Men. The ambiance exudes old office charm, with leather chairs, dim lighting, and a hint of nostalgia in the air. But what truly sets this bar apart is its exceptional drink selection. Whether you're a beer aficionado or a cocktail connoisseur, you'll find something to love here. The beer selection is top-notch, my BF got the BREWYARD UBE MACAPUNO DELIGHT, I had the TEQUILA COLLINS Cheers to a night of great drinks!

Not a great experience. When we arrived, the "greeter" (she actually didn't greet us, I addressed her) told us we could sit anywhere. No instructions about ordering at the bar. So we found a table and looked at the menu and waited, and waited, until I finally walked over and asked the greeter how we should order. How hard would it be to greet people and tell them when they come in that they should order at the bar when they are ready?! Or put it on the menu. The person taking orders at the bar was pleasant and professional. The first dish to come to our table was sweet potato fries. They were piping hot and tasty. Nothing epic but solid. Things went downhill from there. We had ordered the $21 burger medium rare. It arrived rare/blue - the middle was totally raw/slimy. We sent it back explaining that we wanted medium rare and they brought another burger cooked exactly the same way! We sent that back too. Finally they brought a burger that they described as being cooked medium well. It was actually cooked medium - but by this point we just wanted to eat and go. We also got a little lecture about how they dry age their meat and so they use different temperatures to cook the beef. So it seems for them rare is blue, medium rare is rare/blue, etc. Frankly they can do what they want at their restaurant but it would be nice if they were clear about it when you order. If one asks for medium rare, one expects it to be quite pink but not raw - especially given food safety issues related to ground beef. I don't mind paying a premium price for a burger - but I expect it to be cooked to order. And if you have different temperature scales - be open about it! In the end the burger was okay. I'm not a huge fan of the funky taste of dry-aged beef because I find it leaves a strong aftertaste ( it has lingered hours later) but the condiments were good and there was a nice ratio of meat to bun. The arugula was a welcome bit of peppery freshness that balanced the intense umami flavors. Would I go back? No.

Used to love both westside locations cause the burger was so unique. But last night mine had a hard piece gristle in it! Disgusting. It'll be a long while before coming back. Tater tots C+.

They have a good beer selection but the customer service is horrible. If you're in a small party of 2-4, good luck finding someone to help you. This disorganized place works better for large parties but even still the wait times are too long. I wouldn't recommend this place due to poor management.
Hamburger was the best I've ever had! Basketball was on, my first time here and it was pretty great!

Busy Friday night but our bartender Libby cut right to the chase, we were able to order right away and get our burgers exactly as described. Great place to stop in Culver City, excellent beer selection so we will definitely come back again!

Love coming here after work or on the weekends for a couple beers and some yummy food. They always have good beer on tap and since their taps are rotating, I get to try something new every time. You order at the bar but the bartenders are super friendly and great at helping you find the right beer. The Office Burger is hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. It's cooked to perfection every time and never misses when it comes to flavor. I love to sit outside because it can get noisy inside but overall it's a great spot.

Food service 0 be resting on the table for a long time until we asked why the server is not coming and they said you know to go to the bar to order. There was bacon on top of the burger so we said can be switched with mushroom and they said no and then we said we don't eat bacon so please do not put the bacon on top and they said we can't and we said well put it on the side and the side we can't . Finally the burger and the french fries came, which they were all cold and we asked for ketchup, but they said we do not serve ketchup. I saw other people were complaining about this, and I don't understand why the management will not serve, catch up or a meat anything from the burger. Pricy and horrible

This place came really highly recommended as a "must try" in Culver City. But I have to say it's extremely disappointing. Couple things to note: 1. They only have draft beers and batch cocktails. They do not have a full bar. 2. You order at the counter and self seat. 3. The place itself a super cute. The food is.....awful. I hate to say it. I ordered the burger and I simply couldn't eat it. Completely under cooked and soggy. The chicken sandwich was forgettable. I'd recommend this as a great place to meet up for beers and fries before hopping around Culver City for the evening. There's plenty of amazing places to grab a burger in CC if you're interested!
