Logistics & Planning
Parking: Private lot adjacent to restaurant - free for customers. Street parking also available but fills up evenings and weekends
Dress code: Ultra casual - come as you are. T-shirts, jeans, sports jerseys all standard. This is a dive bar, not a fashion show
Noise level: Loud and raucous during games - expect bar noise and rock music. Not ideal for serious conversations
Weekend wait: 30-45 min during prime time 7-9pm, longer during major games. Reservations accepted for large parties
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait - walk right in and grab a table or bar seat
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes - multiple veggie burgers, salads, and meatless options on the massive menu
Vegan options: Yes - several vegan options available including clearly marked dishes
Gluten-free options: Limited - some salads and modifications possible, but this is classic bar food territory
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you're both laid-back sports fans who appreciate dive bars. The loud atmosphere and casual vibe work better for 'let's grab a beer and wings' dates rather than romantic dinners. Perfect for second or third dates when you're keeping it casual.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, walk-ins are the norm. Reservations only needed for groups of 8+ or during major sporting events (Super Bowl, World Series finals). Weeknights and non-game times have plenty of availability.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime and early evening hours - they have a kids menu and high chairs. However, as night progresses it becomes more bar-like. Best for families before 8pm on weekends, anytime during weekdays.
What's the scene like on weekends? Packed and energetic, especially during games. Weekend nights draw a mix of locals, tourists, and pre-club crowds. Expect a lively bar atmosphere with music, multiple games on TVs, and potential karaoke. Come early or embrace the chaos.
Is the 1000-item menu real or a gimmick? It's real - a famous newspaper-style menu with everything from breakfast to burgers to international dishes. Quality is solid across the board, though wings, chili, and burgers are the standouts. The extensive beer list (175+) is equally legitimate.
Best For
Better for: Best for authentic LA dive-bar history and character, massive beer selection (175+ including 40+ on draft), accommodating huge groups with the 1000-item menu, late-night food until 1am, and reliable weekday happy hour deals. The nearly century-old Hollywood landmark vibe is unmatched in WeHo
Consider Alternatives If: You want upscale ambiance, craft cocktails, quiet conversation, romantic atmosphere, or cutting-edge culinary innovation. Also skip if you're sensitive to loud bar noise or prefer modern/trendy over classic dive-bar character. Head to 33 Taps for inclusive LGBTQ+ vibes or Saddle Ranch for family entertainment instead
