This man knows what he's doing and made great food suggestions and concocted best hot toddy that my girlfriend has every had in her entire life.If you are looking to have a perfect dining experience look no further Astro Pub will deliver.“

“Cat and Fiddle is one of my favorite local restaurants for an easy lunch and dinner, their burgers are delicious and I love how many gluten free options they have. The real stars are the atmosphere and the staff though, it truly is such a nice vibe & that’s what keeps me coming back“

“Thess was the BEST bartender I’ve ever had at an airport, and I’ve had many. Her energy, her service, attention to detail. Top notch. As a traveler making long hauls, you want to unwind and have a little fun from time to time.

She made my time at Terminal 1 fly by! Great playlist too. Go Thess!“

“There is no other place I love to let loose and dance my heart out more than The Dime! I had such a fun night being transported back to when bars were casual and fun to go to. Good drinks, great music, loved the vibe!“

“A great little bar where everybody knows your name. One of the gems of Los Angeles, this is one of those friendly bars where everyone is super chill and there’s no pretension.

The food is amazing tbh. Surprisingly good. The fried are crispy and crunchy with a hint of rosemary. The karaoke is fun and laid back. The people are warm. The bathrooms could use a little updating but work…sometimes. Parking can be an issue. Wish they had something worked out with a parking lot where you can park for a couple bucks.

Overall this place is a great place for a birthday or when you just want to get out of the house and sing a few tunes.“

“Fun! Fun! Fun! With a VIEW! Owned/run by the same guys who own/run iconic Bar Chain MR. FURLEY’S — which just had it’s grand opening in my hometown GLENDALE on Brand Blvd. — DEFO CHECK THEM OUT!!! 🙌🏻“

“Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine.

Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some more premium wines by the glass. The neighborhood will appreciate it.“

“Scranton, Pa is my home!! Must say the surly goat is a must stop when in LA!! One of they only Bats in LA that carries Pliney the Elder!! I will Always visit this spot Whenever I’m in LA!!“

“We were passing by on a Tuesday night and decided to go in.We had a Guinness served properly, without rushing, with time for the beer to rest and then serve.It was pretty empty, but the place must be really cool during the weekend, with more people.“

“Great day had at the Britannia to watch The Glasgow Rangers!!!!“

“Bomb!

Fried chicken was super tasty, not spicy at all if that's what you're looking for though.

Soy garlic ribs were really good too!

Both were way too much for two people. My wife and I are stuffed and there's enough for ones of to have lunch tomorrow.

Just have to wake up before she does and take it to work with me!“

“The Bel is now my go to spot for celebrations. Jeremy & Maria are incredibly hospitable and took great care of me and my friends for a birthday!

“Its been a long time establishment in the community catering to its devoted clientele, especially to its hispanic and LGBTQ community. As recently as last Friday night, the Silver Platter has prevailed in its effort to provide an outlet of entertainment and appreciation for the community that it supports.
They've upgraded their environment and at one time also provided valet parking, however, with the current stringent limited parking availability, it's been difficult to accommodate and support this historic bar; very much worth a visit though. With the support of those who know this bar well, they should be commended to continue to support a mainstay of L.A.

It's been a while since I posted the above review. It's January 31, 2026. The Silver Platter, subject to being evicted and demolished should definitely be relocated. Its historic value and undeniably a dive bar, provides an ambiance that is unique to its community. Those that can't appreciate the need and value of this establishment in serving the community are too quick to criticize its patrons and deficiencies. This place is a haven to many. It exists to enjoy a cold beer, enjoy the music, people watch and have some fun. We should do what we can to keep the Silver Platter thriving!“

“We were in for a SoFi NFL game. We hit the Manhattan Beach location Sat night ( lively college scene). Sunday brunch for Foorball games. Sat downstairs for brunch. Met the mgr. Jack who was most personable and conversational, a Boston transplant! Rooftop featured Amy behind the bar, also a pleasure.
Recommended by a NY restaurant owner.“

“It was nice that they were open before 5pm because of our flight schedule.
The waitress was super nice.
My daughter and I were ordering Ahi Nachos, she suggested to share.
It was very delicious but huge, it was a great suggestion for us.
My husband said chicken in sandwich was hard, so I put 4 stars.
Our son in law liked his pizza.
Music wasn’t loud at all, maybe because there were not so many people because of the time.“
