    No waiter service. Menu is done by scanning QR code. Nice bar if you are looking for a drink or relax. If for a meal, regular pizzas, sandwiches and something to go with the drinks.

    This is the spot to watch a game and get a cold beverage. The drinks are delicious and well poured...and the food is surprisingly great. Vibrant atmosphere and excellent bar service. Did I say the food was great...it was actually amazing. Chicken 🍗 were well seasoned and flavorful...pizza was good too. Thus place is officially Baused.

    Had dinner last night here - Excellent vibe, very good pizza. We sat out back in the private alley and it was terrific. Met Lee the owner who could not have been more hospitable and warm. Glad they are doing so well!

    Ok so... elbow room us our go to spot! Food is pretty good! The security is so sweet and nice! I haven't met one bartender I don't care for, and the vibes are always good. We even come here for lunch sometimes! If you go, get the pizza. Probably the best pizza I had in Hollywood area.

    Came here on a Wednesday night late as it was the only place home and I commended to us by another pizza spot that was closing. It happened to be trivia night we had beers pizza and the food was good! Fun atmosphere and good vibes!

    Loved this bar! Low key and unpretentious. Feels like a group of regulars sitting at the bar. Perfect spot to watch a game or grab a late night slice! Pizza was pretty good!

    All good but the hazy beer isn't the greatest. Pizza slices taste nice. I appreciate the vegan options of burger and flatbread.

    We’re big fans. The smoked friend mozzarella is bonkers. The pizza is great. Salads are great. Super solid bar and staff. Definitely has a neighborhoody vibe in a neighborhood generally lacking in neighborhood vibes.

    Amazing service along with amazing food. Me and my buddy walked into the bar and was first greeted by this amazing dude named Steve just verifying that we were of age. Then we went in found a table and ordered our food at the bar. Steve came and checked up on us and made sure we did not need anything from them and had a lovely conversation with us. His customer service was amazing I can’t thank you enough for the experience that we had here tonight. But we ordered a flat bread pepperoni pizza and an order of chicken tenders and they both were amazing. My dish was the chicken tenders and I can not express how good the dish was. The chicken was nice and fluffy and soft. The breading was on point and not too thick and not too thin. Overall this was one of the best experiences I have had in awhile thank you so much Steve.

    The smoked mozzarella was nigh inedible to my palate. The bartender said it was very smoky and I guess that doesn't work for me, I found out. But after taking a few bites and rejecting it, he took it off my tab so I won't dock any points! That was great service and I like the outdoor alley accommodations. Great place to go after a show at Hotel Cafe!

    Had the aperol spritz and slice of pizza happy hour special. Happy hour 3-8. Damn good pizza!

    We come up to Hollywood from San Diego regularly and found our "local" spot! Justin is awesome and made us feel at home in a busy city. Great drinks, happy hour is on point, and we look forward to our next visit. Elbow Room is where it is at!

    Came in from Michigan to visit the area stopped in at the Elbow Room with encouragement of the front door man … was a little hesitant, but went and ordered a couple of drinks. Looked at their menu ordered several appetizers moved from a table to the bar side. Had Justin as the bartender amazing bartender amazing food absolutely fantastic great atmosphere friendly employees Definitely recommend would give it 12 stars if I could. Thank you Justin very much for treating out-of-towners like regulars.

    We visited the area from Ohio and walked here to eat one night from our hotel. We loved the vibe and the food was excellent! We had a couple of drinks, the chicken sandwich and wings and it was all so good! We highly recommend and would definitely come back again!

  • 5/5 Giuliano A. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent spot. Forgot just how unique of a vibe it's got till a friend reintroduced me to it recently. Good people all around. All walks of life. It's dope that the back is still open also.

  • 5/5 Ryan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vibes, great food. Bartenders are all friendly, patrons are friendly, lots of regulars. They also have massive delicious slices to go along with a surprisingly diverse menu. Great happy hour too. Also a rare spot in this area that won't cost you an arm and a leg to have a good time. Definitely recommend dropping in for a slice and a beer or 3.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! Was out there for a show and popped in for beers and lunch. Pizza was awesome, games on, great music selection, cool bartender, and great feel to the place. We loved it and will be back next time in town.

  • 4/5 Aaron W. 2 years ago on Google
    So much fun! Didn't know a ping pong place can be so fun. No one judges how bad you are and people are picking up all the balls and refilling for you.great music, beer selection. Didn't get to try the food. iPad "photo booth" was cool too -- you can email to yourself. Awesome place!!!

  • 5/5 kathycleveland 1 year ago on Google
    What a fun, friendly place this is off the beaten Hollywood path! The service was spot on great and the drinks and food, delicious. The fried cauliflower comes in a generous portion and has a light, tasty batter. I could devour that any day, any time!!

    We popped in after going to the Immersive Frida Exhibition just down the street. We were welcomed warmly, immediately grabbed a table on the back patio and gave our order to the bartender. The food was amazingly quick and some of the most flavorful dishes I'd had in a minute! The buffalo fries were the bomb! I loved the slight vinegary tang in the buffalo sauce, fries were thick, crispy and I could tell that unlike so many places lately, you could tell the French fries were made out of potatoes! I had a slice of pepperoni pizza and my date had a large salad as his entree, which he said was great! I can't recommend this place enough. It was outstanding in a sea of mediocrity. Go! You won't be disappointed 😁

    I've been in LA for a decade, moved out to travel the world accidentally and sort of moved back. There is no other bar like Elbow Room. It doesn't matter if it's dead, wild and loud. Please give yourself the opportunity of sitting down at this bar and order a cocktail and a good slice of pizza. Of all the places in all the world, this will be one of the homiest you'll ever walk into. The bartenders are legends. Theyre always in their A game and if theyre not, ask them how they're doing and buy them a shot cause this place is like walking into an instant family reunion, the good kind though! By the way... If theres a guy named Steve at the entrance, give that legend a high five!

    Came here for a friends birthday and we couldn't have had a better time. The place is on the smaller side and had a sporting event on TV so space was a little tight but not uncomfortable. Fortunately we were able to be outside in the back patio area where they had TV's to watch the event if you wanted. The staff from the front door to the back of the house were all amazing. The bar tenders are very attentive and I never really saw any one waiting a significant amount time for their drinks. Drinks were all made perfectly and weren't watered down. On to the food, I was able to try about 4 different pizzas and the steak tips. All of it was delicious and I would definitely recommend trying it out. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of anything to give an idea but again I highly recommend to check this place out for drinks, food, and just a really good time.

  • 5/5 Jenny B. 6 months ago on Google
    Such a fun spot! Everything is delicious- the pizza is the closest to NY pizza that I’ve tried yet. Service is impeccable as well.

  • 5/5 Paul B. 5 months ago on Google
    An English couple stumbled across this place on Monday night (Oct 23 / 2023) as part of our holiday / honeymoon. Cannot fault the bar staff and the reception they gave us. Fully recommend..! Off the tourist path and a local bar.

  • 4/5 B J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for a slice and a beer! I haven't tried the wings yet but they looked promising sitting next to me on my neighbor's plate at the bar during my visit. Pizza is top notch and you can't beat the happy hour deal of a slice and a beer for $9. My only complaint is the location. Please move to DTLA and I'll promise to visit daily.

    From out of town! We were looking for a good place to watch the Saturday football games. Came in right when they open the bartender is beyond attentive and personable. Food is amazing! Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Not to leave out ambience is perfect with a nice outside patio. Worth checking out!

  • 5/5 Kristopher A. 6 months ago on Google
    East coast pizza here - aka, good. Theres service and a decent patio with somewhat friendly guests during football season. Just be aware of the local Hollywood bum dwellers who use sidewalks for bathrooms and may place a tent on your rental car as you tour the glamour of Hollywood Boulevard....

  • 4/5 Neter Afro J. 7 months ago on Google
    The gluten free pizza is delicious! I think there have vegan options for cheese but bartender didn't know what brand. Bartenders are attentive to you. Very sports crowd with their own people

  • 4/5 Bri z. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to go to have great pizza and drinks! Staff is friendly and fast, small patio in the back, parking is challenging given the area but all in all a great time!! Highly recommend 😁👍

  • 5/5 André Van D. 8 months ago on Google
    The pizza is incredible. Get the smoked wings then have them fried, it's a game changer. The steak tips are the bees knees as well!!

  • 1/5 Kilana N. 8 months ago on Google
    I came in to pick up my food during my lunch break and realized I was a couple dollars short after I arrived . I explained to a woman behind the counter I was there to pick up my order but before I could finish she walked away . She came back and gave me my bil and I attempted to apologize for not having the full amount of money and she cut me off saying "don't order food you can't pay for " and proceeded to tell me " the owner would have denied me service whether I was sorry or not " keep in mind this infront of other customers which was extremely disrespectful. I was shocked on how rude she was being . I asked for a manager politely and she continued to be disrespectful saying "I could get the managers number on the website" knowing that wasn't true I again asked politely to just speak to someone else because I needed the managers information so I could let him know what happened. She then went and got security and attempted to have him kick me out. I understand a restaurant not wanting to waste food but the amount of disrespect over a simple mistake someone apologized for is disgusting. I attempted to call the restaurant that night and no answer . I followed up today and still no answer . It's ridiculous . I don't think the way I was treated was right and I think the fact that management isn't around to be contacted is not ok. I loved my food which is even more disheartening because I would love to come back again but with that woman's rudeness for no reason I don't know .

    This place is legit, the real deal. Looked sus at first, but every drink, every food dish, and every staff interaction was perfect. High praise, no complaints.

  • 5/5 Nicole F. 9 months ago on Google
    Cool place with great vibes and friendly service. The pizza slices are huge and absolutely delicious. A great place for a pit stop In Hollywood.

  • 5/5 Rahn H. 10 months ago on Google
    Got to Hollywood late. Stayed at Dream Hotel. All the restaurants were closing but Elbow Room which is right around the corner was open until 2am. Their Steak Bites were amazing as were the wings. We were in Hollywood for three days and went every day we were there. If you're close check it out. You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Travis J. 10 months ago on Google
    This place has true community based hospitality from the staff! Very friendly and even if they don’t know you quite yet, still give you that nod of a familiar face. Great pizza and boss chicken tenders with a variety of sauces!

  • 5/5 Cara E. 10 months ago on Google
    Came here after Sisters of Mercy(!) at the palladium at 11pm. Bartender recommended a cocktail that was great, door guy was super friendly and welcoming, and the pizza was one of the best NY style we’ve had in LA. Food is really tasty and the friendliest service! We loved this place and would recommend anyone. Late night places on weekdays are so rare and this is a gem. Sat under the bougainvilleas on the patio and relaxed old school.

  • 5/5 Martin F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great intimate, but lively sports bar! I was looking for somewhere to enjoy the game while visiting from London and I definitely found it. The bar team are all super friendly and welcoming, and the regulars were all lovely too. Easily recommend Elbow Room to anyone looking for a bar that also serves great food!

  • 5/5 Les B. 1 year ago on Google
    I will say they named the place perfectly...the place just opened at 2 pm yesterday when my wife and I stopped in for the first time and it was packed pretty well! While the restaurant and food were fantastic, what makes The Elbow Room unforgettable is their service! The bartender, Wyatt was crazy good and attentive.Amazing Drink Menu. Great music selection, too. They had lots of variety in terms of options to eat and it all felt very casual. Always a good time when you can watch sports and eat! Once your done, make your way down to the center of Hollywood Blvd, the clubs, the walk of fame etc! The owners of this place Nailed It!! We will be back. Fun Time!

    Good pizza and drinks, patio seating in the back is quieter and has TVs for sports games

  • 5/5 shawn r. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza is the best . Gone there a 2nd night around 7:30pm and there was 6 have us,they try to talk us out of order food. We got 2 LG pizza 2 order of chicken tand a cheeseburger with fries. Went back in to get refills of pop , stood in line at the bar. The bartender helped 3 other people cut in line. So I asked him Do we get our own refills, His reply are you serious. He feel them with. Went back to my table the girl said it tasted funny. He said the Coke was out.😉 Oh well live and learn.

  • 5/5 Riley T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sports bar and they have happy hour every day! I love the deal where you can get a slice of pizza and a beer for around $10. Also, their pizza is some of the best I’ve had at a bar

  • 5/5 Candice H. 1 year ago on Google
