    The Hawaiian Pizza and The Mac and Cheese were the bomb! Good portions. The service was okay. They didn't give us plates or silverware to eat with. We had to ask. They brought the silverware but no plates. It wasn't super busy and they didn't check on us. The food was good, and even better the next day! Lots of comfortable seating. Parking was an issue. They don't have a lot. There is a paid lot nearby. The valet was nice.

    I had a salad for a starter. It was really good but you should no its not iceberg lettuce so if you don't like those other greens it may not be for you. I loved it. The greens were fresh and crisp. I then had the Baja fish tacos. A little spicey for me but really tastey. (I can't eat spicy food anymore due to medical reasons so I don't think most people would find it as spicey as i did.) The batter was tastey and the fish was perfectly cooked. My wife had the classic burger which she said was one of the best burgers she has had. The fries were crispy and nicely seasoned. We had the bread pudding for desert which neither of us really cared for. But it was served in a small Lodge cast iron pan which was cool (I am kind of a cast iron groupy). The dining area was clean. It was a little noisy but that is to be expected in a gastropub. Im not complaining about it, just pointing it out. The restrooms were clean. One urinal and one stall in the men's restroom seamed sufficient for a pub this size. The staff was friendly and attentive. All in all, I would definitely go back but we are not in West Hollywood very often. I would encourage anyone to stop by.

    Went out of my way to come here on a Sunday morning, only to arrive and be told that they ‘haven’t served brunch in a long time.’ If this is the case, why is brunch advertised on your website, Google, Yelp, etc, and why is there is a giant sign out front advertising your brunch hours? I will make a point to never come for lunch or dinner because of how ridiculous this is. Save your money.

    This review is for the happy hour. Even though the website says happy hour is everyday from 5pm to 7pm and Wednesday - Friday from 11pm-12am, these times and days are incorrect. I would call and double check the hours for happy hour. The tuna tartare is delicious, the amount of tuna is generous. The tap beer for $6 bucks and a Margherita pizza/Pepperoni pizza for $10/$11 dollars are a great bang for your buck. Parking is probably a tiny bit difficult in this area, and the staff were nice and helpful. I recommend this place if you're looking for drinks and small snacks/appetizers.

    Have loved this place for years for the quality of food and the good vibes here. One of the few places in LA that is genuine and great at what it does. Great spot to watch sports too. Enjoy! Nachos + Wings + Burgers are amazing.

    We were looking for a place to grab a couple of drinks while waiting for our room to be ready. The 3rd Stop had a great neighborhood bar vibe. Huge selection of beers on tap. The food menu looked great, but we only drank. Staff was friendly.

    First time here and I was craving wings and this place had exactly what I was looking for! First-The location is pretty nice, it’s a cool bar, good vibes, seems to have outdoor seating and they have decent indoor seating. It’s got a nice vibe to it as well. Cozy and nice. Second-The food was awesome. I got some buffalo wings and they hit the spot! They were cooked perfectly, dripping with sauce, and decent size as well. Their menu is pretty expansive. They have a decent amount of options which I like. They also have a really good drink menu. A lot of options. I would definitely come back! I HIGHLY recommend

    Food was really excellent. The nachos were a highlight. Service was attentive and quick. Vibe was sort of low key pub/sports bar. There were probably 5 large screen tv's so you can watch some games but it wasn't obtrusive if that's not your thing.

    I love the French fries, so crispy well served enough favor. I was just dropping my daughter at the airport we searched for some good fries and drinks and so glad we got to try you guys.

  • 4/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Comfortable spot with a nice staff. Stopped in while in town and just happened upon them for happy hour. Beer selection is decent, but more local beers would be great. Food was okay, but again we just had happy hour. Would go back again to try more options. Maybe next time we are in town.

    Awesome atmosphere, helpful servers, delicious food. All you can ask for a cool place to hang out and have some food.

  • 5/5 Dick S. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place with nice sports bar atmosphere. Great food. Mahi Mahi tacos were superb. Truffle fries outstanding. Artichoke very good. Fun place.

    I can't speak more highly of the bar tender, I forgot his name but my buddy and I are calling him Javier, because he's respectable, gentlemenly and overall a great dude. Lots of beers on draft, quiet but a good time.

  • 5/5 Jason & Cynthia H. 10 months ago on Google
    Out of towners here looking for a beer (hard to find in Beverly Hills). Great beer selection and appetizers! Parking is hard but try Burton Way.

  • 2/5 Erica R. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were wonderful but the food was seriously lacking seasoning. My group ordered the pretzel bits with FONTINA fondue and it tasted like pretzels in béchamel…..we also got the short rib nachos but again the cheese sauce was supposed to be made with Gruyère cheese (very strong cheese) but could not taste the cheese at all. This menu is amazing but the delivery was underwhelming. Where’s the salt and cheese? Did you run out? The only thing that had flavor was the beet and goat cheese salad we ordered.

  • 5/5 Matt D. 1 year ago on Google
    Upscale but casual, dim but not at all divey ambiance. Music playing, laker game above the bar. Really good food (short rib grilled cheese is excellent). Great beer tap selection. Friendly, attentive servers. I was working nearby for a week and decided to try it for dinner one night. I ended up going back two more times. Was always lively but never slammed.

  • 4/5 Kimberley W. 1 year ago on Google
    Just a quick afternoon snack stop today. Fast friendly service and staff seem to personally know many of the regular guests coming in. Very clean, nicely presented cozy venue. We had the homemade pretzel bites in a skillet of cheese sauce and sweet potato fries which were excellently flavoured and cooked to perfection. If I lived here I could see myself becoming a regular!

  • 5/5 Dan D. 1 year ago on Google
    God I love this place. The staff treats customers so well. Maybe it's the fact that so many of us are hospital staff but it's great to have such an excellent spot for a post work drink. Or two.

  • 1/5 Dylan W. 1 year ago on Google
    Called on the phone to check when the kitchen closed "11:15" show up fifteen minutes later and the kitchen is closed well before 11:15. Been coming here for 8 years and this place has really gone downhill with service ignoring customers when they're trying to get there attention and now this. Such a shame. I must have spent over $3000 dollars here over the years. Know most of the staff by name and vice versa. Don't think I'll be back.

    We've been here a few times. We appreciate that they are open later, and they are one of the only open places. Their food does end before drink last call, so if your hungry call ahead and check if they are still serving. 3 stars because of the couple times I've gone the service was slower and the food is hit or miss. They didn't check back much, and I have had to go up to the bar to ask for more water, stuff for my food, ask for food to be fixed, etc. The food to be fixed only happened with two things (at the same time). I'm a big truffle fry fan and they have truffle parm fries. There was zero truffle flavor and barely any parmesan. They were also served with katsup, and personally normal fries are ok with katsup, truffle parm not so much. When they fixed it it was fine, but having to alert them a good 10 minutes after getting our food was off putting.

    Service was a mess. Our server's shift ended and she never let us know. We were looking around for her and see her having a glass of wine at a table chatting it up with some dude. The server that supposedly took over never came to our table once. When I went to the register to ask for my check, I was introduced to the guy. My question was..."how are you our server, and I've never met you?" The food wasn't that great either. I was initially served a flat soda which sat empty for nearly 20 minutes. The pizza was a little undercooked and came with a giant pile of arugula on it!? We should have asked for a side of dressing and ate it like a salad. The burger was okay but overpriced. We probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

  • 5/5 Kandice O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibes and staff. We came just after happy hour ended and our server still hooked us up. Even though we sat outside, he was very attentive and we never had an empty glass. Inside, the atmosphere it pretty cool and both of us wanted to sit inside but we also sort of wanted some privacy to catch up since it's been so long. However next time I'd definitely choose inside because it just feels like a cool comfortable place to get a beer. The crowd was diverse and there was a mix of friends, dates, and people just watching the game. We got the short rib nachos and those were so good, I'd get them a hundred times. However I think both of us agreed the nachos were better than our dinner (burger and skillet), so slight ding on that. Also, went on a weeknight so not sure about the weekend crowd but I would definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Cayenne S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. My beer selection wasn't available this time. But, still love it.

  • 5/5 Tim H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice, chill respite from the heat. Sports on the tvs was a little loud though. Amazing beer selection and great happy hour pricing.

  • 5/5 Steve 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and beer. Ask for double jalapenos for the jalapeno burger if you like spicy. They are FRESH, not pickled. Love it.

  • 4/5 Andrea De La R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool spot,good food and selection of beer. Only downside they need better music it was horrible listening to grocery store music on repeat made me want to leave.

  • 5/5 SW C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome beer. Food was okay. Planning for another visit. Maybe for burgers and pizzas.

  • 5/5 Michelle R. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great happy hour location. I've been coming here for 15 years and it's still one of my favorites. The short rib nachos are to die for and their pepperoni pizza is my favorite pizza of all time. They, also, have so many great beers on tap. They also have a good wine selection. This place can't be beat for small bites and socializing.

  • 5/5 Steven L. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the area. When I have a Dr.’s appointment across the street, I will make time for lunch or dinner here. They have some really interesting choices on the menu and service is excellent.

  • 5/5 Arvind A. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly local spot with good drink selection and surprisingly good food

  • 3/5 Kevin V. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great, but I’m not sure I’ll be back soon. The problem is they appear to be significantly understaffed. We went at lunchtime on a Friday; not packed but maybe 50% capacity. As far as I could tell, there was exactly one woman responsible for: greeting people, seating them, taking orders, bringing food out, bringing the checks, and processing payments. She was on her feet hustling the entire time but it still took quite a while to get orders in, get the check, etc. Not blaming her at all, this looks like a management issue.
