50 Best Gastropubs near Playa Vista

“I’ve never had a more pleasant experience than when I met friends there for great ambiance and wonderful food. Thanks ☮️DWR 🎵“

“It's a breath of fresh air to come across a venue that combines the laid-back feel of a sports bar with high-quality lunch offerings, all wrapped up in a modern and stylish atmosphere. The selection of imported beers on tap pays homage to traditional UK pubs, while the American fusion menu caters perfectly to weekend breakfasts and brunches. The fact that it's kid-friendly is a rare and welcome feature for a sports bar.

Vegetarian options: A few good vegetarian options available such as the avocado toast.“

“Go for the Buffalo cauliflower, stay for the wine/beer 🍔🍟🍕🥗🍗🧇🍺🍷“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“I think they serve the best hamburger I’ve ever had in my life! I drive down from LA once a month because I crave it so much.“

“This is honestly the BEST BRUNCH I've ever had. So creative, and lots of healthy and allergy friendly options. They have made the most amazing roasted carrots dish I've ever had or even dreamed of. Cannot recommend this brunch enough“

“A cute little gem stuffed at the edge of Santa Monica, I've been in there a few times. The staff are friendly positive. The food is amazingly portioned. The drinks are solid, but what makes this really? One of the best little food joints is the fact that the staff and Joe are absolutely phenomenal. It is a great community location with sensational flavors. Amazing personalities and just good food.“

“Great place to watch sporting events. Has a 16-screen video wall for the BIG picture. Parking, food and drinks on the expensive side, but typical of the area.

Parking: Parking in back was $20, valet only. Another lot nearby has a sign saying $10 but it's false advertising - $25 is the real rate, $10 is only with validation from one venue (not the Blue Birdy).“

“Went to Huddy’s for Taco Tuesday and left happy. The $1 tacos were juicy and flavorful—none of those dry, disappointing ones you usually get on deal nights. The kale salad was a surprise win, topped with what looked like fried couscous for a nice crunch. Spicy wings were messy in a good way, and the giblet fries were weird but tasty.

Only downside: we were seated right next to the entrance by staff, which meant a constant flow of people walking past and the door swinging open. Kinda killed the vibe. Still, food was solid and I'd go again—just not in that seat.“

“Good service. Excuisite cuisines“

“I went during happy hour and had a great experience! The food was delicious — I highly recommend trying the shrimp tostadas and the wings. Both were full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The cocktails were also a standout — fresh, well-balanced, and really tasty. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a fun spot with great drinks and bites ✨“

“Finally checked out Father’s Office in Santa Monica—one of the burger joints on my LA bucket list—and I absolutely loved it. The vibe is low-key and cozy, with a laid-back atmosphere and a great selection of beers on tap.

But the real star? The burger. One of the best I’ve had—simple, flavorful, and just perfectly done. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. 100% recommend if you’re into elevated comfort food in a chill setting.“

“Beautiful day to sit outside“

“Great food and the owners were incredibly kind. One of our favorite things about vacation 2023. The Greene's from Idaho love you.“

“I tried their "The Ivar" burger. The Lamb Merguez Patty and the combination of flavors, including cucumber and mint labneh, were delicious. It was my first time trying a lamb burger, and it exceeded my expectations. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the experience.“

“staff is AWESOME, food is delicious. very clean amd comfortable. and of course Top 5 Answers Sundays at pm is a blast“

“What a great spot. If you live in a beach town most restaurants have an indoor outdoor vibe that is great but can be loud and chilly. This place is more like a European pub/restaurant with great food and a quiet vibe. Drinks are wonderful. Well priced for the area and the quality of the food. It's upstairs with no patio but warm and intimate. Great for a date or a table of four. I'll be back.“

“Very nice stuff ☺️☺️☺️ food also delicious in affordable prices taking into account the location.We have tried classic burger with chips and wings. Not too many photos as we were hungry ?One thing that might be changed is packing the meals to take away. We were sitting in the restaurant and we were eating there also. That’s huge waste of plastic boxes“

“Library Ale House is a really cool spot with a cozy, relaxed vibe that lives up to its name—it almost feels like you’re hanging out in a library that just happens to serve great beer. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or winding down after a day out.

The staff was super friendly and attentive, and they’ve got a solid selection of craft beers on tap, including some local gems. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for a chill place with character and quality drinks.“

“Came on a Sunday the vibe is great!! $15 bottomless mimosas 😋. There was live chill music that really made this place awesome. Our server was sweet & checked on us several times. I wasn't that hungry so I got the nachos. They were just average. The burgers around looked great so did the salads. Great place to people watch and chill out!“

“Lugar super agradável com Drinks e comida deliciosa❤️“

“Absolutely brilliant. Great Guinness“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“Tucked away in a plaza in the heart of Los Angeles, HanEuem is the quintessential authentic Korean food serving comfort food and good vibes.

As one of the better places to get raw marinated crab, HanEuem already gets my appreciation and approval. Keep in mind they often run out of the soy sauce marinated crab (bummer, I know!) but their spicy crab isn't bad either.

Their food portions are generous and it truly does taste like comfort Korean food, retaining the authentic flavors while also giving them their own personality.

The place is cozy with sufficient seating for a good amount of people given the size of the place. Being in a plaza, for better or for worse, yes this is yet another valet spot in Ktown.

The service is good, the staff is friendly, and they help you out if needed.

Overall, HanEuem delivers on the promise and is a great spot to grab a meal. Solid 4.5 stars.“

“Always have a blast here!!“

“We were down in Hollywood for a play and found this great spot for dinner. Everything was very tasty. I had the Stout burger with onion rings. I will say thr onion rings were my favorite. Nice, thin cut onions, batter and perfectly fried to the perfect crisp. The burger had a great mix of flavors with caramelized onions, bleu cheese and horseradish sauce. My husband had a burger with an egg and enjoyed it with his nitro stout. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Thanks all for a great evening.“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“Really great food + specials and we had such a fabulous waitress we shall be back!“

“ChatGPT4 suggested Red Car to me for the Outstanding BBQ Bacon burger. My son and I were not disappointed. Very good burgers. Nice atmosphere without conversation destroying loud music. Outside patio is nice with heaters if you need them. The servers were attentive without being interruptive. We had a wonderful dinner together“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“Best Americano comfort food in LA, where local people eat and recommend. Bougie, and everything on the menu is awesome. Great service. Expensive, but you know where your money went, worth it. 👍“

“대박 맛있음~ 써비스도 최고!! I recommend this little hole in the wall place~ 쨘!! 대박나세요~“

“My new favorite beach place! Great meals with speciality drinks, fantastic views of the ocean, plus a very special Mexican desert! Upstairs on the Redondo Beach Pier!! Carolina was my waitress, please say Hi when you get there!“

“La verdad es un muy buen lugar fuimos anoche a cenar con mi familia muy emocionados nos trajeron rápido la comida excelente atención pero en el sancocho me salió un cabello cuando mordí la mazorca estaba ahí enrredado eso me daño todo me dio mucho 🤮 asco el cabello era entre negro y rojizo cuando vi una chica que salió de la cocina con ese tipo de cabello suelto 🤮recomendación debería tener una regla el manager todos los cabellos del personal recogido y más si están en la cocina o entran donde están los alimentos. Deberás ojalá a otra persona no le vaya a pasar eso es demasiado desagradable ya que me dañaron mi cena y con tanta hambre que iba y emoción se me quitó todo. Solo me quedo el asco y hasta ahora no lo supero“

“Love this place but today I had the wings and was very upset.Wings were barely warm tasted like they were not fresh. Buffalo sauce was almost tasteless. Like I said I love this places food but the wings were not on par with all the other food I have gotten there.“

“Jay’s Bar is definitely one of the overlooked watering holes in Silverlake. Nestled in the same minimall complex as Garage Pizza, it provides a warm, cozy atmosphere within its brick walls. Besides great drinks, it also offers delicious Japanese-American food until 10:00 PM. They usually have great movies playing on the Criterion Channel, along with sports. Also, on Wednesday nights they host Sal’s Trivia at 9:00, which is always fun. Come on down and say hi to the lead bartender Constantine, and let the good vibes relax you.“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“I will recommend this place for many reasons. The vibe in this place is amazing, food is delicious, and the music is always a big plus. You can enjoy your food and dance afterwards. San Salvador Restaurante, great option if you want to dance until 2am.
Highly recommended. Try it.

“Felt right at home watching the Pats game!“

“I love the staff!! Kind, accommodating, friendly… just a great a great crew! And the food is delish!“

“Unique place to grab some skewers. Love the layout and style. You have to buy alcohol if you want to order from like half the menu so bring a DD (designated drinker 🤣).

Food was good although a little bit pricier than I would prefer. Nothing unreasonable though and overall taste is good.“

“✨What are your late night cravings?✨With a menu of endless Korean street food options and drinks (beer and soju) to keep you entertained, Gangnam Pocha gives you many reasons to come here start or continue your day/night. There’s even lots of TV’s that keep up with Especially with so many sports games currently happening⚾️?

Love their KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), especially with their spicy, sweet sauce. The Beef Short Ribs came out sizzling hot and was perfectly seasoned and so tender. Lastly, I highly recommend their simple (yet very complex!) Fried Tofu: there are layers of flavor and unexpectedly harmonious textures??

We had: ?Beef Short Rib, ?Garlic Fries, ?Fried Tofu, ?Fried Chicken Wings, ?Kimchi Fried Rice, ?Peach Soju“

“Great selection on local beers . Really friendly staff , food looked amazing“
