I am a frequent guest at idle hour and consistently appreciate the amazing atmosphere and exceptional service provided by all of the staff/team. The team delivers a wonderful experience each visit, which is why I love to continue to return.
During my most recent visit, I noticed a recurring issue with the beer quality. Each of the four different beers I ordered were warm and overly foamy. On the other hand the cocktails that we had were great.
Given how amazing the service and environment are, idle hour is great. Addressing the beer temperature and quality would make this venue fully deserving of a five-star rating.

Service 5/5 our server was very sweet and kept checking on us. Ambiance 5/5 super fun vibe, love the out back/ out side and the random pipe smoking dog. Food 2-5 based on other reviews I wanted it to be better than bar food but it’s straight up have something to eat while you are drinking. Idle burger- dry and lacked flavor / seasoning Cheesesteak- please change the name. This is not a cheesesteak - this is a dry steak sandwich that has barely any cheese on it with a lot of dry bread. Fish tacos- fine Portobello steak fries- taste like dirt weird texture. Flatbread- is pizza from high school cafeteria Pretzel was the best- although was it really a homeboy pretzel? It’s not served with the amount of cheese sauce show in the photo and it’s not cheese sauce it’s like rotel dip.
Now the worst part is how you order and pay for food on your phone …. So even if you want an appetizer or decide you want more sooner or later it’s all through your phone and a tip is asked for each time. We had 3 phones and each different levels of difficulty in submitting orders.
It’s is fun and cute and I would possibly come back it’s just somewhere I know what to expect now.
Parking is difficult.

do not come here for food unless it is absolutely necessary and i'm talking a life or death scenario
been here a few times for a quick meal and safe to say that the food is terrible and you will be better off making frozen fish sticks at home (i suspect fish and chips is actually just gordon's frozen fish)
anyway, food aside drinks are fantastic here. love that they have a buddy system and my must order is the PB and J
Food was undercooked and horrible tasting. The place was so loud you couldn't hear anyone at our own table speak unless you yelled. Tables were dirty and we couldn't wait to leave.

This is my favorite neighborhood spot. It has everything from trivia nights to drag brunches, plus delicious food and drinks!! If you haven't checked out Idle hour you definitely should. Huge shout out to the general manager Chard! The nicest guy with the best vibes!

Came here after hitting 786 for some pizza. This was our first adventure into NoHo & Studio City area. The place looked like fun based on reviews and photos and it certainly was. There was live music playing on a stage that was some old retro looking dog…which you have to go see to understand what I’m talking about. The places is dripping with history and was a blast. Drink prices were super reasonable and the staff was very friendly. I think we’re coming back for Bottomless Gray Brunch which the bottomless stands for a mimosa special…so keep your mind out of the gutter. 😂

It was great. The food and drink varieties were well made. I love the outside area. I ate the sweet potato fries and the cheese pizza. I had probably 4 drinks.
