“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“An absolute must-visit in Downtown LA for cocktail lovers. 🍸✨

I have obsessively been coming to The Wolves whenever I’m in LA, and it never disappoints. The Agua Buena is hands-down the best cocktail I’ve ever had in my life.

Their other cocktails are just as impressive… my friends always order different ones, and every drink has such unique, inventive flavor profiles that just work. The small bites are delicious too.

Friendly staff and the setting… don’t even get me started! It’s stunning, atmospheric, and makes the whole experience feel extra special.“

“Cute stylish bar with good music!“

“After searching for the top burger spots in town, Benjamin quickly made it onto the list of visiting restaurants. Among them, Benjamin stands out with some of the best burgers around. The burger was very tasty and made with high-quality meat. Although it’s a bit pricey, I think it’s definitely worth trying. The service and atmosphere also contribute to a great overall experience. We weren’t sure if they took walk-ins, so we decided to make a reservation just in case.“

“I've been there once and it was fine last time. The cocktails were quick and the atmosphere was good. Overall, it was pretty good“

“I was having such a grand old time at La Fe that I wanted to take a picture of my experience. I set my phone on a ledge, but my phone fell through a crack. La Fe’s STAR employee, Caleb, had to dismantle the freakin’ couch using power tools in order to retrieve my phone. It took so much work and time and I’m so grateful. Aside from the superb service, La Fe is such a perfect spot for a date or for chilling with friends because of the stylish and hip decor. I would def recommend!“

“This place is great. The food was delicious, especially the branzino and flan. Both were the best I've ever tasted. The atmosphere is casual. The staff is warm and friendly. The prices reasonable. Lots of tasty options to choose from and share. We're going back.“

“This is totally a hidden gem. Im glad I came across and finally got to enjoy. The vibe here was fantastic. Its a dark mellow fun atmosphere. Perfect for drinks and chatting. The staff was so friendly . One of the reason why this is such a great place to be able to still socialize while there music and other people is cus the surround system is vintage and was personalized to be played up high over everything which makes the place more comfortable. The food was marvelous wasn't expecting a Mediterranean twist but definitely loving it gave the food a special kick to the flavors . The combination of the spices and texture made the food amazing. I tried the steak and fries 10/10 and the shrimp roll be cause I love shrimp. And I loved them both . Personally I like dillso I was ok with the shrimp roll but for my ppl that dont like to try new thing I would recommend to stay away. The drinks were delicious. I had mexican can shots and Jennifer gray . Both I highly recommend. Also a mango cart cocktail but which was delicious also but it has a habanero taste to it thats not my favorite. But still enjoyed it. Something else I learned was the mixers are made natural from all the spices or fruits . Naturally extracted with also give the drinks that extra flavor. More natural and not processes. This is definitely a place to come and enjoy with friends. There was actually a birthday being celebrated and they show movies on a roll down projector this is event worthy for people looking to host an event here.“

“We visited the restaurant for their brunch buffet and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was good and delicious — everything was fresh and well-prepared. However, we felt the menu leaned more toward the classic side and didn't offer anything particularly unique or standout. It was satisfying, just not especially memorable in terms of creativity or variety. The ambience was lovely — comfortable, stylish, and welcoming — a great setting for a relaxed weekend brunch. The service was good as well; the staff were courteous and attentive. That said, drink service was a bit on the slower side that day, but it didn't take away too much from the overall experience. If you're looking for a solid brunch option with a pleasant atmosphere and reliable food, this is a good choice. We'd consider returning, especially for a laid-back group outing or family get-together.“

“Fantastic location and an outstanding staff!
After a rough week at work, we decided to unwind with some happy hour drinks and bites at the bar. Moni greeted us warmly, took our drink order, and instantly made us feel like part of the regular crowd.

Moni crafted the best martini I’ve ever had in the U.S.—hands down. The Bad Bunny cocktail was also incredibly flavorful and fun to drink.

We ordered the sliders, fish and chips, and a side of fried pickles. The fry batter they use is absolutely divine! No exaggeration—the pickles and fish were bursting with flavor, and the sliders were spot-on.

The food and drinks here truly stand out thanks to the professional staff and their commitment to getting everything right the first time. I’ll definitely be coming back—again and again. I cant wait to bring my friends, this will be a great place to meet up. You won’t be disappointed!“

“My favorite neighborhood bar! Love to watch the football games here (Eagles/Lions/Bills bar), food and drinks are fantastic and not overly priced like a lot of the bars in Silverlake. Pool tables and a quiet outdoor patio in the back.

Our work Christmas party was also hosted here and the owners Matt and Trey were incredible. Great customer service from the top down!

Parking is usually pretty easy to find on the streets, but sunset is metered. Easy to catch a bus or walk to the nearby metro station too.“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“We’ve come here a few times and always enjoy ourselves. A lot of specialty IPAs and pretty decent prices on some of them. I had the black and blue heart cider and it was scrumptious. Nice and tart. It’s still a little sweet and a little effervescence. Love me a 7% ABV with a seltzer! Very cozy fun vibes. Comfortable bar seating as well as comfortable booth seating. Nice little outdoor patio and then an area to play games at your hearts content! Pool table inside ping-pong, table, and foosball table outside. Darts board games you name it very cozy couch and tables out on the patio as well. Partially covered. Alistair was very attentive to my friend, but didn’t seem to feel compelled to take care of me lol. A lot of fun eye candy on the walls. Vintage goodies. Will definitely be back.“

“It's a great place to enjoy great people.“

“El Carmen is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Los Angeles. They offer a happy hour menu Monday to Friday from 5–7pm with incredible prices ($8 margaritas, $3 tacos) that make it easy to stop by after work without breaking the bank. The drinks are delicious, and I had some of the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever tasted here—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chips, salsa, and guacamole are also a must-order, with everything tasting homemade and vibrant. It’s a cozy spot with great energy, and I can’t wait to go back.“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“A combination of classic and delicious.“

“We had a great time! Thank you for making it so special I.“

“Amazing. I was surprised the first time I went. Such a beautiful decoration. Just amazing. The food is 100% healthy and hygienic. The staff's behavior is unparalleled. When I was confused the first time I went, they helped me very nicely. The owner's behavior is also amazing. Really very nice“

“Beautiful bar. Modern with a home feel. The ambiance is very chill. Large and wide open window on one side gives you a good view of Sunset Blvd. opposite is the patio that has the food. You can order via a QR code and get a text when your food is ready. Drink menu is great! Bartenders are friendly.“

“Absolutely love this place! The only negative thing I have to say is that the music later in the day on the weekend gets unbearable, so much you can’t hear the person sitting across from you. Not what I expect from a wine bar. Earlier during the day, happy hour time, it’s a great place and the bartenders are really dope and helpful.“

“We had Uber drop us off before a concert so we could eat/drink and walk to Dodger stadium. This place was so much cooler than we could have imagined.
Punk rock blasting over the speakers. 👨🏼‍🎤
Dodgers baseball on TV. 🏟️
Really cool memorabilia on the walls. ⚾
Amazing food. 🍔
Delicious beer. 🍺
We had the Caesar Wrap, Bird Bites and Old Bay Tots 🤤
Needless to say I ate too much and felt like a giant slug at the concert.
The place isn't real big so prepare yourself to squeeze in, maybe share a table and have a blast!“

“Tony’s Darts Away – Review:

Tony’s Darts Away is a lively, casual spot known for its fun, relaxed atmosphere and pub-style menu. It specializes in comfort food like burgers, wings, and sandwiches, often paired with craft beers and cocktails. Guests appreciate the friendly, welcoming vibe, making it a great place to hang out with friends, watch sports, or enjoy a night out. The portions are generous, and the flavors are solid, though it’s more about hearty, satisfying meals than fine dining. Overall, Tony’s Darts Away is a go-to for casual, fun dining with good drinks and a social environment.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Couldn’t Ask For a Better Night Out
I stopped into this bar on a whim and was blown away by how great the experience was. The vibe here is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool — it hits that perfect sweet spot between lively and comfortable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed happy to be there, which makes such a difference in the atmosphere.
The drinks were top-tier — creative, balanced, and clearly made with care. You can tell the bartenders actually know their craft. I especially loved that they were willing to make personal recommendations and tailor drinks to our preferences.
The crowd was relaxed and fun, the music was on point, and everything just felt… easy. No stress, no pretension, just a great place to unwind and enjoy yourself.
This is exactly the kind of neighborhood spot you end up coming back to again and again. Highly recommend — easily 5 stars“

“Do they have dj what kind of music they play“

“What a cozy welcoming atmosphere it has.. comfortable seating and friendly staff.. looking forward to going back soon“

“Delicious and great service“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“Visited LA and was invited to this bar from some friends I made at the Precinct! Instantly loved the vibes as I walked in. Has a punk-rock vibe with some retro themes throughout and colored lighting. Tried the dirty martini and it was made to perfection for an LA night out drink!“

“The DJ it’s excelente it has a great sound and all kind of music“

“These bartenders are wizards, alchemists, Jedis of the cocktail Force. No menu, just chat with them and enjoy the cocktail they invent. The music is classic rock n roll. Go to this place, or just be boring.“

“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!!! 🙌🏻“

“The Manager is the best, wonderful to guest. The food delicious. The plates are big. The place clean and the vibe is peaceful and classy. Each spot with it's own music so you don't miss out. The apple delicious desert. Took me back to Virginia, known for the apple pie's. 🍎“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“We have been there several times to see Vatche and his live band Everything is wonderful The food service ambiance music galore the best of the best A definite return always and forever However there is one issue we hope you can resolve For us non smokers as we exit the restaurant To be attacked by heavy mini group of smokers That aroma is Poison ☠️ to any non smoker Please please please can they congregate elsewhere than by immediate steps exit We know you ca direct them to another area to enjoy their cigarettes See you next time Thank you so much John and Monica Saia Cel is 818 257 1594 P/s - last time around we also smelled smoking by the bathroom hall area Not good and dangerous Please address this for everyone’s safety“

“I love Spitz— employees are super nice, the food is consistently good, especially the gyros and sweet potato fries! only complaint is that a few times I’ve asked if the sauces are in my order and been told yes, and then there are no sauces.“

“This place rules. Cheese plate was unique and delicious — fed three of us. Charming glasses suited to each type of beverage. Big variety of drinks. The blue walls, the radio, the tiny miniature desert scene under the window?!! The vibes are immaculate.“

“Walked and found this little gem ❤️“

“Pretty much the only bar I went to before the quarantine, and I am thankful they have created a socially distanced patio so I can start going back.“

“Had a great experience here. The service was great, someone was over at our table cooking our food frequently. We had unlimited Kbbq, access to the buffet, and sides. The premium option was worth the money. They also have a great selection of cocktails. Definitely recommend.“

“Drink menu at the bar was decent. Wish the receipt would of been shown when they charge you at the bar. Since the drinks plus tax in my head didn’t add up. So would of been nice to know if they include a service fee to their checks. It’s a great spot in the community. Food looked great. Defiantly made me want to check it out again. Great place for an event or private event since there were so many open spaces.“
