There are also some vegan options available, such as an Impossible Burger with Daiya cheese and a vegan chicken BLT great for plant-based diners . The location is convenient near the beach, and the service is generally friendly, though the overall vibe can get hectic when it’s packed .

“A go to gay bar in Weho. This place is so welcoming and the staff are all great. Lots of tvs with m various sports playing. On the most recent trip they had a live DJ who played great music at the perfect volume for the entire time we were there. Love their trivia night, and especially enjoy coming to their happy hour for a snack and some great bar bites!“

“Great sportsbar. Love the open air concept. Small and quaint inside. Wings were phenomenal. Late night happy hour is cool. There is half off a few items I didn’t take advantage of. I came specifically for bone in wings and ranch and was impressed :)“

“From out of town and wanted to stop somewhere and have a beer. So glad we picked this place! Joel and Kata the bartenders were fantastic. No waiting to get served. Beer was ice cold. Very welcoming to out of town guests. Highly recommend“

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

“Mo’s Place is excellent. Breakfast is the best we have had anywhere and the price couldn’t be beat. Christy Anne is a wonderful, pleasant and happy waitress who served us.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“First let me say I gave the food 5 stars but actually I didn't try it so I just kept everything five stars. I was in town for a funeral and I needed somewhere to go and have a drink shoot a game of pool and relax. I stopped by this place and everyone was very friendly including the bartender Michelle and they made me feel like I was a regular. When some of the guests found out that I was in town for a funeral some of them offered drinks to me and my family for our loss. This is a friendly place and I felt at home and I would definitely come back here and recommend that you try it as well.“

“Service was great, food was good for a bar, and the atmosphere was spot on.

The only real negative was the condition of the tables. For $25 an hour they should be great tables. The pockets were big, but the biggest issue was the cloth, they should be recovered every year, at least, due to that cost.

If they are busy, you can only play for 1 h 30 minutes, but if not just check in with the desk to make sure it's ok to continue play.“

“Happy hour 3-7pm then 10 til close.. drinks only.. if you kno then you know not to play with the host/ guard.. she’s is lovely but she don’t play about closing time.. closing hours varies on the vibe..kitchens closed by 1230..THEY DO NOT ACCEPT APPLE PAY..“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“Old school since 1972. It originally opened in 1955 as the Bowspirit.“

“My boyfriend and I live close by. We usually walk down to the pier, but found this place. We have yet to be disappointed. The wings, chili, stuffed jalapeños, steak sandwich, burger, etc. are all delicious! (We don’t choose healthy here lol) The bartenders are attentive and friendly, and we’re not there enough to be regulars, but I definitely notice some of the same people every time we are there. Highly recommend this “homey” bar in a not so “homey” town. I used to bartend and this place makes me miss it! 🍻“

“The best spot to chill w friends. Saturday Latin nights are my favorite Salsa Baby!! Beer and drinks very cheap recommended to all. :)“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“After a day at Playa Del Rey beach, we walked over to The Shack for a quick dinner. The burgers were so good (even the kids agreed)! The pineapple burger and its teriyaki sauce was amazing. Will definitely be back!“

“un lugar estupendo acogedor, para una cita“

“This is another gem I take visitors to all the time, mostly for a late breakfast. I come here for 20+ years. I gotta be honest: If you are looking for the best ... whatever food .... in town, don't bother to go. This place is about atmosphere and having a good time. The food is good, and we had an amazing time with our waiter Shilly yesterday - and left well fed and with $100 for the four of us fairly priced - given the location I would have expected more. Wow - five stars for OK food? Absolutely. In my very own rating scheme, it is mandatory for five stars that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to go to this particular place. And I did. Many times. And will do it again. We've been to the Ivy's in Beverly Hills the night before. It would be totally unfair to compare on a mere culinary basis. Go here - prepared to have a good time - and you will.“

“I love this place! They are new and hit just the bar spot this area has been needing.“

“Me & my friend were invited out last Tuesday for a Book-signing event. The ambiance was great. The food was delicious and the Owner Betty along with her staff was very nice. I had a wonderful time there not to mention the music ?. I plan on returning very soon. ??“

“Great food, reasonably priced drinks and great servers!“

“Visiting from uk and been shopping all day. Was a very warm welcome at the door. Great service at the bar, fab pizza and chips. Value for money would defo recommend“

“🙂👍 Nate does a great job!“

“the Island bowls are so fresh and healthy. Its good with hoison sauce. Tiki tai good also“

“UBG is the best place for great food and drinks and the best music scene around town. The owner Greg and the entire staff are awesome. It is homey but also Hollywood flavor! So many great events here. Any day of the week you can be sure to find something cool happening here. My band Bonnie Brae has made it a home away from home and just LIVE it here. So much great live music and variety! Comedy-jams-original music-you name it it all happens here.“
