    Took my family here for some drinks and food. We had everyone from ages 10 to 65. All my family members enjoyed the Douglas. The atmosphere was great, staff was amazing and super helpful. Restrooms were very clean and stocked. No matter where you got a seat or table whether it be inside or outside. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and my wife and son had the burger. Both were really good. My son even went as far to say, "the burger was better than McDonald's". I had a good laugh when he said that, so I guess you can say it's kid approved. The fries we were able to share and were equally as delicious. I also had to try the sweet treat of the day, a banana pudding pie (superb). All in all this is a place I highly recommend to anyone looking for great bar food, good brews and family friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

    I originally found this place because I was looking for a good burger (which they definitely have) but I also love the atmosphere of this place. The decor gives the feeling that it’s been there for decades.. someone paid attention to details. The people are always so friendly, and the food so so good! Bar food items but quality. The burger with tots or curly fries, the bird bites, and the sauces are our favs. Recently tried the dodger dog, and of course didn’t miss.

    Great beer and chicken wings! You should try these wings, also people who sat next to us and come here regularly said that it's the best thing of the menu....

    Cozy spot near to the dodgers stadium; if you are a sports lover this is a place for you; variety of beer; i had the Japanese Lager and Micheladas i enjoy them both and the food is good ordered the burger (meat was tasty) if you love spicy i recommend you to order the home hot sauce it is delicious, the bird bites were delicious too. Friendly-family place; the bartender is nice and the owner too. Good ambience and music

    This is literally the funniest and fun beer bar I’ve ever been to, but I find myself addicted to their Caesar salads they find themselves addicted to my poor sense of humor. I find myself addicted to tipping them more. They find themselves addicted to inviting me more. we formed a perfect relationship, but I will tell you the service is great they’re extremely friendly and the food quality is incredible. This isn’t dive bar food. They have a really great area for outdoor seating right on the corner and they have a number of sandwiches. I’d like to try. They also offer vegan options, but the number of craft beers here are exceptional and I find this place so pleasant

    The Douglas speaks for itself. Firstly, id like to say that their BREAKFAST BURRITO that they serve in the morning, is the best I have ever had in LA. I’m a huge Eagles fan, and it’s great to see a bar so interested in creating a community. The exterior of the Douglas is really cool, but the interior is a true haven for fans – the bar is super cool, adorned with vintage posters, and boasts a remarkably extensive beer and wine selection! It isn't just a bar for sports fans; it's a place where anyone can have a great time. The staff and owners are awesome people who make you feel welcome, and the patrons are a diverse and friendly crowd. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the game, make new friends, and savor the vibrant atmosphere. P.S GET THE PIE!

    One of my favorite new bars/places to eat. The fried chicken sandwich and curly fries is so good, and is washed down very nicely with a $4 Pilsner. Highly recommend this place, and great beer garden/patio too.

  • 5/5 Erin S. 11 months ago on Google
    totally felt the local vibe in this place but as a bunch of Canadians visiting and hitting up the Dodgers game we were treated just the same. Johnny and his crew are so friendly and super efficient. You will not go thirsty! Great beer and cider selection and while we didn’t eat, food/menu looked awesome and super reasonably priced. Atmosphere was stellar, wish it was my neighborhood local pub. Would definitely make it a stop again if back in LA.

    Brilliant place to relax and unwind after a Dodgers' game. It's a yokel-local place and good to chat with regulars. Nice beer selection and a couple of famous houses around the corner 👍🍻

    The food here is fantastic! They have JuneShine (Kombucha) on tap and a wide variety of selections. The ambience indoors is cozy. They have booths! The out door seating is great but the chairs are a bit uncomfortable. Strongly recommend the spot.

    a neighborhood-y, cleaned-up dive-y spot. lots of great beers (hamms!). food is solid (curly fries were pretty great). decor is old dodgers memorabilia and beer signs. big booths. kind bartender. one of my new fav echo park spots!

  • 4/5 Jason K. 5 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    I dropped in for a beer and a hamburger. The people working there, and the whole place has a great vibe, and the people were lovely. Totally LGBTQ friendly, very relaxed and welcoming. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

  • 5/5 Zachary P. 6 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Friendly neighborhood vibe, welcoming and down to earth, excellent beer selection (good taste in craft beers, nothing too out there), tasty burger and curly fries, plentiful sports viewing options, fun decor which reminds me of a small town, just a real winner.

  • 5/5 maria p. 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    burgers, curly fries, bird bites, and chicken sandwiches have all been solid and satisfying, plus well priced! a welcoming spot for all types - dodger fans, locals, young and old!

  • 5/5 John G. 5 months ago on Google
    This is another one I almost don't wanna give away but karma is karma and this is a great place to have a beer and a burger with sports on tv inside to boot. Friendly bartenders too. Just say yes

  • 5/5 Anand M. 9 months ago on Google
    $5 mango cart before dodgers games. Chicken sandwich is really good. Small intimate space with a cozy outdoor area. A place where you can hear your friends at night.

  • 5/5 Arnold R. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place to chill, and I found it pretty easy to strike up a pleasant conversation with either a local, or someone passing through.

  • 5/5 Karen J. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, we ate here and loved it. Impressed with the menu options and pricing especially given LA. My husband and I love The Douglas

  • 4/5 Ziggy P. 11 months ago on Google
    A must before a Dodger game. Bartenders were really nice and seemed to really enjoy their job there.

  • 5/5 Eric D. 11 months ago on Google
    Honestly the best vibe in Echo park if you’re looking for a low key bar. Great beer selection, great service, great food. I make it a point to visit this place whenever I’m in LA. Parking isn’t the best but tell me when parking is good, am I right? Check them out.

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place to have some beer and wine. Catch up with friends or make new friends. Also great place to watch sports. They also have music. Great food and even open for Breakfast! Chris was a great bartender and waiter. He was great to talk with!

  • 5/5 Mike H. 1 year ago on Google
    A top tier neighborhood bar! A good place to go before/after a Dodgers game but the spot really shines during the off season or when the baseball fans clear out. The food is good and fairly priced for the neighborhood, the staff is excellent, and The Douglas has the best beer selection in Echo Park now that Sunset Beer is closed (RIP). They even occasionally get New England heavy hitters like Heady Topper and Maine Beer Co. Lunch.

  • 5/5 Jedidiah R. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m a Giants fan, and this place still just feels like home despite it being a Dodgers spot right next to the stadium. I can honestly say this is my favorite place to kick it in LA. Food is MENTAL too!

  • 5/5 Preston M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar food. Wonderful craft beer selection. Prime patio to people watch on sunset. Great spot to hangout.

  • 5/5 Jasser M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with good beer and small bites to enjoy with your beer.

  • 5/5 Robert K. 2 years ago on Google
    Basically the best burger in LA. Pro tip: order extra pickles, pickles on the side. Tell ‘em the Mayor sent you.

  • 5/5 Jacob H. 2 years ago on Google
    Yee yee

  • 5/5 Rodrigo R. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome! Great vibes, chill music playing, really nice people, and a simple tasty menu. Actually one of the best fried chicken sandwiches around. Try this place!

  • 5/5 VANEEGRAY 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my friends love coming here. We are lucky it’s down the street from us. Great spot with food and beer. The staff is super friendly with awesome service.

  • 5/5 Balmore Rene E. 2 years ago on Google
    Very unique selection of beers and spirits. Would recommend and take friends.

  • 5/5 Gur O. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a little sad when the old one closed down but this is very nice too. Bird bites come with really great sauces and I love drinking on the outside bar area. Feels more like a bar where you can take your drink outside.

  • 5/5 Joe C. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    My favorite place to have a beer in LA. Their beer selection is amazing and food menu compliments the awesome brews perfectly. Staff is friendly and ambiance is comfortable and chill. Conveniently located by Dodger Stadium, so great place for a pre or post game pint. Highly recommended!
