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

“Delicious food, drinks and service.“

“Excellent food and service....“

“The Palm and the Pine is one of my favorite bars in Los Angeles. From the moment I first walked in I was welcomed with open arms. EVERYONE is so friendly and the vibe is always great. And they have a great happy hour that lasts until 8pm. I love all the bartenders but my favorites are Ben and Jose. They are always SO incredibly attentive, gracious and full of personality. The type of bartenders that give you a glass of water even when you didn’t ask. This is definitely my “Cheers” bar here in Hollywood. And when there are big games on it’s ALWAYS a great time!“

“I had an event hosted with 33 taps for an employee resource group “pride happy hour” for my company, and worked with Libney & Zach as the points of contact and a server named Alex who were all so accommodating and sweet.

The food and drinks were amazing! World Cup was playing in the ackgeound sinve it’s a sports bar. I highly recommend the salmon bowl if you’re coming by yourself or the tacos and quesadillas for group gatherings.

Thank you all 💕“

“Excellent service and cocktails from Carlito and gang!! They go the extra mile for their customers, taking time out to provide time and attention to their customers. Highly impressed with their team and we had a great time talking to Carlito!“

“First time visiting and it was a great experience. Vibe is relaxed, cool to have old movies playing as well. Wings were excellent and crispy. Ryan was super personable and always tending to all customers and having conversations. Great spot no matter the occasion!“

“Great place fun and friendly“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“I watched a World Cup game here at noon and even tho the place didn’t have a lot of people to feel the World Cup energy, we enjoyed the attentive service the great selection of beers and the food was good. I’ll be coming back to see more games.“

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

““I had a really upsetting experience at GYM BAR. After having just a couple drinks, I was told I couldn’t be served any more because of my skin color. I was sober, and I went to another bar right after, and everything was completely fine. I’ve never felt so singled out or discriminated against, and it really ruined my night. I won’t be returning“

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

“I drove a hour to get to this location for the spinach and artichoke dip and the salmon and they did not have it I wanted to walk out but Rodger talked me into staying he was amazing very nice and entertaining. But we need these dishes back.“

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

“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.“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“La Jolla Restaurant is a great neighborhood spot that offers a welcoming atmosphere and consistently satisfying food. The setting is comfortable and relaxed, making it a nice place for both casual meals and family dining. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with generous portions that provide excellent value. Each dish had a comforting, homestyle quality that made the experience enjoyable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring smooth service throughout the visit. I appreciated the clean environment and the overall sense of hospitality. Everything felt well organized and dependable from start to finish. Overall, La Jolla Restaurant is a solid choice for anyone looking for good food and a friendly, no-fuss dining experience, and I would happily recommend it.“

“Hidden gem type of spot that reminds you why local food joints still matter. What started as a stop for a chicken burger quickly turned into one of the more memorable comfort food experiences I’ve had in Hollywood.

The balance between a classic burger spot and a full Korean kitchen is executed incredibly well. You can tell this isn’t a place trying to force two concepts together. Everything on the menu feels intentional and well thought out. The chicken was perfectly cooked with great texture and flavor, while the Korean dishes carried that authentic homemade quality that’s hard to fake.

The atmosphere has that hometown neighborhood feel where the staff genuinely make you feel welcomed the second you walk in. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everyone behind the counter seemed to actually care about the experience they were providing.

Another standout was the drink selection. Plenty of beers on tap along with a solid variety of drinks that pair perfectly with the food whether you’re stopping in casually or hanging out for a while.

What impressed me most was the consistency across the board. A lot of places do one thing well and everything else feels secondary. Here, the food, service, atmosphere, and menu variety all carried equal weight.

If you’re anywhere near Hollywood and want something that feels both elevated and genuinely local, this spot is absolutely worth the visit.“

“I was looking for a sports bar to watch the fifa game. This is my first time here and I literally took one bite of the gunpowder fries and buffalo chicken strips and was like I need to do a review stat! The ranch and blue cheese are phenomenal and I found out house made. You can choose how you want your strips and I chose to have them tossed in the buffalo which tastes amazingly. I think the other extremely important part of this is how wonderful the staff/team is here! Ash and Bear really care and go above and beyond which is rare nowadays. I will definitely make this my sports bar and bring more people here to enjoy the great food and experience!“

“Q's Billiard Club and Restaurant is easily one of my favorite spots in Los Angeles to kick back with friends after a long week. As a Local Guide, I've seen my fair share of sports bars, but the lively atmosphere here really stands out. With plenty of well-maintained pool tables and screens everywhere, it’s the perfect place to grab some drinks, enjoy some classic pub fare, and catch a game. The service is surprisingly fast and friendly, even on busy weekend nights when the place gets packed. Whether you're a serious pool player or just looking for a laid-back night out in Los Angeles, this place is a genuinely solid choice. I highly recommend getting there a bit early if you want to secure a table without a wait!“

“A restaurant that makes life fun 😃“

“Carmen was so sweet!! We went on the 4th of July and ordered all you can eat, drinks and vegan options and still got a great experience! With how busy they were Carmen made sure that we got everything we needed and a great time!! Definitely will go again and will request Carmen!!“

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

“Had a blast. #GoBucs!! #DALvsTB“

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

“Great environment and food…“

“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.“

“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.“

“Played darts with Steve on the first night I ever visited this location. Cheap drinks, great service, a touch tunes jukebox, and an electronic darts machine I so far have never seen anywhere else. Been an on-and-off regular here for the last 7 months - I love this venue! - Julio“

“Always have a blast here!!“

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

“Always enjoy this place. The atmosphere and welcoming nature of this establishment is unparalleled. It’s my favorite spot to hang out and enjoy either live music or to have a fun night of Karaoke. Been going here for years and every time I leave I can’t wait to go back! Thanks guys! Cheers! We’ll see you soon.“

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

“🙂👍 Nate does a great job!“

“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“

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

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“Chela’s Cantina is an awesome spot to kick back, have fun, and enjoy a great night out. Thursday karaoke nights are definitely my favorite — great energy, good crowd, and always a fun atmosphere.

The ceviche is absolutely amazing, the drinks are on point, and the bartenders… well, you’ll just have to come see for yourself. 😄

If you’re looking for a place with good vibes, music, great food, and a fun nightlife experience, Chela’s Cantina is definitely worth checking out.“

“The wings, salads, pizza and fried cauliflower are the best!“

“Muy buen lugar para distraerte, excelente ambiente“

“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.“
