“A combination of classic and delicious.“

“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. 🍎“

“Plenty of good IPAs, draft, and domestic beers. The Backyard Burger was wonderful, definitely coming back just for that. Having Delirium Tremens in their beer stock was amazing, hadn't seen many bars with this many good options in a while. A good place for a quiet and private date, but with good walking distance to Echo Park and local bars and venues.“

“The desert selection is very limited. Other food was great though. At the end the waiter brought the check, and even though I was on a romantic date with a successful gentleman, he still managed to put check on my side of the table 😆“

“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.“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Loved the burger! Was not disappointed. Wanted to try the mussels, they didn't have them. The creme brulee was alright. They serve Mexican coke, my friend was very happy about that. The interior was incredible. Beautiful ceiling stained glass. It's a cool spot.
Didn't get a chance to try any house cocktails. Beer taps weren't working.
I will return. The atmosphere and burger are worth it.“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Amazing Avocado roast poached egg Amazing staff manager follow up to make sure meal was perfect amazing ambiance great location natural light“

“Delicious and great service“

“No explanation needed. You're missing out if you don't drink wine or eat food from here. Shout out PJ, Zach, JP, Molly, Simona, Ryan, Corbin, Jose, Sean (didn't follow me back on IG though *UPDATE: he did!), and all the other fab people who work here.“

“I traveled from Puerto Rico to visit Yosemite and Los Angeles, and while walking through the city I stumbled upon this bar. To my surprise, I had an unforgettable experience: excellent food and, above all, I drank the best Guinness. beer Thank you.“

“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 really like the food here. 😃“

“We've been meaning to go here since it opened and finally made it with a family member visiting from Michigan. Everything was fantastic including the drinks, seafood, and chips/guac. We plan to visit more frequently! The best part of our dining experience was when the staff reminded to go outside at the perfect time to view the lunar eclipse!“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“Cute stylish bar with good music!“

“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!“

“I stopped by Drugstore Cowboy on Wednesday evening and had a solid time, despite some initial hesitation due to its reputation. The bartender was knowledgeable about craft cocktails and expertly mixed my Old Fashioned. What stood out to me, though, was the live jazz music – they had a talented saxophonist playing during my visit around 9 pm. Overall, it's a great spot for drinks if you're in the area after dark.“

“Cozy. Carnitas nachos were pretty dang good. Update: carnitas a little too salty. Cheese was a little too thick! It's enough for 3 people forsure. Unless they upsized our order? Cocktail was gross, too sugary. Chicken tenders weren't my thing either. Too much honey. Margarita was soo good“

“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.“

“Actually, the most ridiculous experience I’ve ever had. I never want to drink at another bar ever again. I never even want to have another drink unless it’s at bar next-door. I will only drink here for the rest of my life. I will consider myself sober unless I’m having a night at bar next-door.“

“El Carmen has a nice ambience with plenty of cool decor to look at as you wine and dine. They offer a wide selection of drinks and specialize in Mexican cuisine. Funny enough, my date was the only Mexican looking person there, despite the restaurant being full. It’s more of a bar than a restaurant and I’m not mad about that. I will say that the waiters gave me a bit of an attitude which I did not like, but they were good with water refills and checking in. The seats were not comfortable, but it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. They had cool music, but it wasn’t even Hispanic haha. Overall, I had a good experience and recommend El Carmen.“

“Nice, elevated wine bar! Personable service and interesting food options with a menu well worth returning for. Good decibel level for maintaining a conversation between the music and other guests. Some influencers were livestreaming the entire time I was there which was a bit obnoxious, but that’s LA I guess.“

“This place is awesome, came for the World Cup but will be returning for the food, service and vibes. Mussels were so flavorful and filling. Grilled cheese and tomato soup paired nice. Fish and chip - drive are fresh and light, fish is so moist and light with little to no traces of oil. Drinks are heavy and great.

This is such a gem and I am so glad we spent the World Cup game here“

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

“Funke is an incredible dining experience! The food was beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was elegant and vibrant, while the service was attentive and welcoming. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and made the meal truly memorable. I had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Funke.“

“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 Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“This place is awesome and has unexpectedly delicious food! The kitchen is open late, and despite us arriving an hour before close, they kindly served us and the food was unexpected yummy. Delicious sweet potato fries, burger, bowl, and others. Wish I took more photos, but we were busy eating. Lovely dive bar ambience. Will definitely come back!“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“
