“Just went tonight. The smash burgers are to die for. The staff is the best! Will definitely be back! 💖“

“Delicious food, drinks and service.“

“Daniel was amazing, great service Everytime I come. He is one of the main reasons why I come. He knows my order and remembers me. Quick service and always attentive. Love that I get to watch the dodger games here. Will come back again and again.“

“Updating my review cause I loved watching and Celebrating the Dodger’s 2nd WS win here. Genuinely love this place, the staff, and the food.. just wish I could rely on it to play the Rams…

Past review: Sports bar in LOS ANGELES that doesn’t prioritize LA games on the big screen or the audio????“

“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 :)“

“Great place fun and friendly“

“Ive been hanging out here for over 25 years.. Great place, Great bartenders and Atmosphere.“

“Great ambiance and still an (new) Independent, definitely worth a visit... � very friendly staff and great brew“

“Great place to be directly at the Hollywood Blvd. Nice happy hour from Mo-Fr (12pm-7pm).“

“Loved it here!! I’d definitely come back with friends, and for more memories 💚🍀“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“Great atmosphere and service by the bartenders. Food is delicious and kitchen is open late night. Best chopped salad and best peanut butter pie, pizza by the slice or can order a whole pie. Overall would highly recommend the Elbow Room.“

“The burgers are amazing and a hidden treasure because it's honestly one of the better burger places in all of LA. Good beer for a good price. Food is a bit overpriced for the area but at least portion sizes make up for it. Small location so it can feel a bit dead depending what time you go.“

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

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“Was in town for a few days for vacay and ran into this place on a Google search. Definitely a neighborhood bar vibe with a lot of regulars from what I could tell from hearing them talk. Staff was friendly and kept checking on us. We only had a few drinks but would go back if I'm back in the area.“

“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.“

“Always have a blast here!!“

“I would give this location 5 stars if Rodger was the manager. To be honest the newest manger (Bryan) is very over baring and uncomfortable for women. There were all open places by the bar and he placed my girlfriend and I in the dark dining room next door. It was 1.5 hrs before they closed but the bar area was pretty much shut down. Us being separated from the couple from the at the bar made us feel like we couldn’t speak up if we wanted good service we felt like we couldn’t speak up because he kept speaking over us. When we finally snuck up to the bar to order Rodger was so lovely and accepting that we stayed and felt safe!“

“Chick & Burger nailed the flavor but left me wishing for a little more. This is a small business with heart, and the woman who took my order was kind and welcoming. I genuinely hope they thrive. I’d also encourage the owners to engage with their Google reviews and hear the feedback, because it’s clear people want them to succeed. The food is already delicious, and with a few thoughtful tweaks, they could easily be a five star spot.

The fried chicken sandwich was a standout. Juicy, tender, full of flavor, and balanced perfectly with honey butter and light mayo. The bun held up, and the whole thing felt intentional, like someone cooked it with care. Honestly, one of the best chickens I’ve had anywhere. The bibimbap was also clean and comforting, no strange flavors, just solid balance. But the portion was small. I got both dishes thinking I’d have lunch and dinner, and ended up finishing the bibimbap quickly because there weren’t enough vegetables to round it out. For a dish that usually shines because of its mix and volume, that part felt underwhelming.

The meal came to $35.01 for take out, which isn’t bad for the quality, but the value didn’t fully match the flavor. A little more generosity with the portions, especially the vegetables or the slaw in the sandwich, would make a real difference. Still, the care shows, and I’d come back for that chicken in a heartbeat.“

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

“Delicious food; great happy hour; always a good time!“

“We used the place for a scene in a film. The place was really impressive. As a musician I usually find it hard to play gigs in smaller spaces. But this place is modern and updated. The stage is nice with plenty of room for a drum kit and still move around. They have nice stage lighting and an overall good musical club vibe. I will definitely book shows at this club for my band. It is a great spot for live shows.“

“A restaurant that makes life fun 😃“

“Came here after seeing an Instagram post featuring the skillet burger with all that perfectly melted cheese, and I had to try it. Honestly, so glad I did. This was my first time at Applebee’s and I was pleasantly surprised — the food was great and totally hit the spot.

Shoutout to my server, Savan, who was amazing from start to finish. She gave great recommendations and even let me know they offer happy hour all evening when football is on (which is dangerous information in the best way)

Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“Had a blast. #GoBucs!! #DALvsTB“

“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.“

“🙂👍 Nate does a great job!“

“Great environment and food…“

“Muy buen lugar para distraerte, excelente ambiente“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“My first date I had nice cold 10 years later I’m with husband“

“Most Definitely a good time and had been most supportive. I apologize if I was A BIT new at learning ... appreciate you guys! It's all at ONCE. All heavy on my mind and physically challenged. For Free States FFS- Mona Li5E LA dust2 and aztec2 ZE TE ETEZ“

“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“

“Very good food and drinks. Reasonable prices kid friendly would definitely come again“

“I’ve been coming to this spot since it was the Celtic Raven, and I happened to walk in on Chela’s Cantina during its soft launch. I’ve been a regular ever since day one. The owner is phenomenal, and the crowd it attracts is just as great! friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes.

There’s always something to do here: enjoy music, grab some food and drinks, hop on karaoke, or play a round of pool. While the alcohol selection is smaller compared to bigger bars, it actually introduced me to wine spirits and gave me a new appreciation for trying something different.

If you’re looking for a small, local atmosphere with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend Chela’s Cantina. It’s truly a hidden gem!“

“BONITO AMBIENTE BUENA COMIDA Y LAS BEBIDAS ESTÁN DELICIOSAS A Y SÚPER LA AMABILIDAD DE L@S MESER@S. 10 DE 10❤️“

“I stopped here to watch the Dodgers World Series game 1. This is the local dive bar, the crowd was loud but the Dodgers had a walkoff home run so I was expecting some noise. Pool table was old school, only a quarter to play with a chalkboard of who’s next. I had a fun evening and the lady behind the bar bought me a beer, how often does that ever happen. A five star evening for me!“

“Food: this is a sports bar/dive that serves great Korean food. I recommend trying the chicken wings or kimchi pork fried rice.

Parking: the restaurant has ample parking since it’s in a large shopping area, anchored by CVS.

Tips: they offer a good variety of draft beers. They have pork hock, which goes great with beer when watching a game.“

“I booked the VIP room here for a birthday party and they were so helpful and made it so easy to reserve. The space was perfect for a birthday party with a pool table, couches and plenty of food and drinks to order. Highly recommend booking for a birthday party!“

“I go for the Trash Can nachos to share. Usually accompanied by a pastrami sandwich, dont recall the name, Spicy Boy maybe, also to share. Nachos, sandwich and drinks are well served. Im not a fan of large crowds, I'm an old man, but they're usually not busy in the earlier hours. For the younger crowd that thrives in it(or older), there's plenty of socializing in the later hours.“

“I hear their karaoke guy is amazing. Thirsty Thursday Karaoke!!! 8-11pm“

“I'm so excited you all are reopening This Wednesday! I have so many fun and fond memories of great afternoons into nights at the Barrel. Karaoke with the locals is always fun. congratulations see you all soon“

“Food was very good and it came out hot.“
