Stout Burgers & Beers is a Cahuenga Corridor staple where craft beer flights and chef-y burgers share equal billing with seasoned, loaded, and sweet potato fries. It feels like a proper gastropub, but most tables end up covered in fry baskets built for sharing over a couple of pints.

What makes it special: Beer-friendly seasoned, loaded, and sweet potato fries in a true burger bar.
Who should go: Groups wanting fries, burgers, and serious craft beer.
When to visit: Evenings and weekend nights for peak bar energy and fries.
What to order: Seasoned fries, loaded fries, any signature burger.
Insider tip: Order multiple fry styles for the table and sit on the patio for a quieter conversation.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Cahuenga is limited after 6pm; nearby paid lots on Selma and Ivar usually have space.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual—jeans and a tee are fine, but many guests lean slightly polished for the bar scene.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during peak nights; conversation is easier on the patio or early evenings.
Weekend wait: 25–40 minutes during peak bar hours, especially for larger groups.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait and easy seating at high-tops or the patio.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several vegetarian burger builds and fry variations work well.
Vegan options: Limited—one plant-based patty is typically available, but toppings may need modification.
Gluten-free options: Partial—burgers can be served protein-style; some fries are gluten-free but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes for casual dates—shared fries and craft beer flights make it fun and low-pressure, but the room gets loud on weekends.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually—walk-ins are the norm. Arrive before 7pm on weekends for faster seating or choose the patio to avoid bar crowds.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat—daytime and early evenings work for families, but late nights lean bar-heavy with louder music and limited kid-focused options.
Best For
Better for: Craft beer pairings, loaded fry baskets, and group-friendly seating compared to more basic burger counters in the area.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, fully vegan options, or gluten-free protocols that avoid cross-contact.
