    Good place for drinks and food. A good place for groups or a casual date. The food is a nice variety. Elevated bar food in my opinion. There's plenty of seating inside with some TVs so it's a good spot to watch a game. For happy hour they have $2 off select beers/drinks. There's a free parking structure down the street.

    Awesome place! Recommended to me by my old Band director at the local highschool. Vouched for the garlic fries (they use FRESH garlic, get ready for that BITE!) If the photos actually uploaded in order, they are the buttermilk fried chicken, 3 meat bbq tray(brisket, pastrami, pulled pork) w/ side of coleslaw & mashed potatoes, poutine fries, 2 meat bbq tray (brisket & pastrami) w/ side of mashed potatoes & mac, beer flight (bartenders choice), buck cherry, and lastly the bbq pork sliders. Also ordered pork ribs but forgot to take a photo. Great friendly service! Chill atmosphere, great place for food and drinks. Meat trays are definitely worth it. The pulled pork was a smidge dry though. The other selections were significantly more juicy. Should split this someone unless you plan on taking some home. Coleslaw had some spice to it. Very complimentary. Mashed potatoes needed an extra "umph". Something like garlic or ever fresh pepper can bring it up a level. I'm told the poutine fries were good from my friend that ordered them. Didn't get a chance to try any as they demolished the plate! Must've been good! Mac was great, definitely a solid choice! Can never go wrong with sliders! Their sauce definitely makes an improvement to everything. Drinks were great. Loved the pork ribs but everyone else thought they were dry. Maybe they got bad ribs because the ones I tried were pretty juicy(I ate them late too). It's also possible that they might have just been expecting a saucey rib rather than a dry rub rib. The buttermilk chicken was decent, that garlic sauce definitely brought it up a level! Y'all need a Nashville style one too! Overall a great experience and awesome food. Definitely a step up from the last time I came. Will be back for sure!

    Massive selection of beers on tap with a passionate staff happy to help you make the right choice! Didn't get to try much food but the truffle fries with truffle aoli was absolutely delicious and I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as good!

    Bar trifecta: beer menu listed on Untappd, allows for small (5oz) pours, and excellent selection. Very pleased in particular that they carried Pliny The Elder.

    Came here for drinks with a friend while waiting for some more friends to arrive for burgers at Grill Em All. I had the pineapple whiskey sour. She had the guava whiskey sour. Both were good, but the pineapple, in particular, really stood out. Went back after Grill Em All, with our friends for round 2. The staff are quick and friendly, and the drinks went down well. We split some fries with drinks, for round 2, and they were good and arrived fast, with our drinks. I'll definitely come back for more of that cocktail when I visit the area for more \m/ burgers.

    When I read Jeff Cruzโ€™s review deeming the food โ€œelevated bar foodโ€, I was a little skeptical as to the quality of what I would be ordering. But I was really pleasantly surprised by the unique flavors and wonderful presentation, even though the atmosphere is decidedly more casual with the general vibe of a sports bar and all the TVs around the restaurant. I for one enjoyed the fact that I could find great food, beer, and watch the game all at the same time. When I went on a Wednesday evening it wasnโ€™t too busy and the servers frequently checked to make sure we were happy and to ask if we needed anything. Overall, great food, awesome service, and good atmosphere, even if it can be loud sometimes.

    This was a nice experience for my group of four. We went in and were immediately greeted by a friendly server who was eager to seat us. The buffalo and honey chipotle wings were great! The sliders were a little lackluster, but that didn't take anything away from the experience. The beer selection was great and they know how tk make a cocktail if that's your jam. Also, garlic paste was great! :) We'll be back.

    Happy Hour all day!! Yaaaaaas!!!! Got the tacos (I think they were $2-$3 each. My friend paid) and the fish ones were sooo good!!! I tried the smoked chicken and it was ok. Fish is the way to go!! Warning: there is spice on the tacos but it was kinda dry without it (we ordered a second round without the hot sauce cause we weak). Their fries are delicioussss!! Especially the sweet potato and ESPECIALLY the garlic aioli sauce!!! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹ The ribs were pretty good but a LITTLE dry. I ordered the strawberry cocktail and it was not sweet enough (but not bad). The service was pretty good and they were friendly. Only a few times we had to flag โ€˜em down. But it was busy, so understandable. Def would come back for the happy hour tacos and fries ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    Came for bar food and cocktails, and we were pleasantly surprised. The buffalo wings were good but the chipotle honey wings were amazing. The Philly Argentine was a very satisfying slightly upscale version of a Philly cheese steak. The cocktails were also good, and they were $2 off because we went during their surprisingly wide cocktail hours. Will definitely come back to try some more of the menu

    Somewhere between under and adequately rated, this establishment is a staple with a huge selection of great options to eat and drink. In a cliche, there's something for everyone. I think that's OK and you should too if you like a no frills top notch friendly service experience with great value for the quality. Get the meat loaf.

    I cannot rave enough about 38 degrees Ale House. This has become a new favorite dinner location for us when we visit Los Angeles for a monthly visit to USC Keck. The host is so welcoming and friendly,only a few visits and he remembers us. He gives fabulous recommendations for meals and beers. The beer menu is absolutely incredible! He knows the menu quite well and is committed to creating a pleasant experience. There is a great deal of knowledge of the notes of each beer as well. So you'll have no problem picking some favorites. We love dark beer and have tried some phenomenal brews during our visits! The menu is ample with many options, the burger is absolutely incredible! Blue cheese and aioli is a delicious combination. We've been there when it's quiet and quiet busy,but service is consistently remarkable. There is bar seating,group seating and couples. The play list is always great and it's an enjoyable atmosphere. Hands down one of our new favorite places to visit while on LA area. Thank you for creating such an incredible menu and environment. See you next month โ™ก

    Tried to catch the afternoon games and 38 degrees fits the bill. Reasonably priced, on top of your sports games, great service makes 38 degrees an excellent choice. Although I dont drink beer, it looked like they had plenty oh choices. I do however consistently make poor dietary choices and 38 eagerly obliged. I had the mushroom flat bread with arugula. Great choice and great location

    We were so surprised to find there was no wait for a table at 38 Degrees on a Friday night, but we were really glad for it. We were greeted warmly, the noise level was just right in the restaurant, and the menu has lots of variety without being overwhelming. The staff was super friendly and offered great recommendations that were spot on. Our server said "you need the Philly Argentine sandwich in your life," and he was so right! It had just the right level of seasoning and was STUFFED with beef. Juicy, tender beef in a lightly toasted bun with a touch of chimichurri aioli...I'll be coming back for that again, though the rest of the menu is really tempting, too. My husband loved his ratatouille sandwich. More than a basic garden sandwich, this was oozing with pesto, cheese, and garlic aioli melding with veggies hot off the grill - everything we love about a chicken pesto sandwich, except I think chicken would've gotten in the way of the flavors, tbh. I'm not a vegetarian, but I'd order this sandwich in a heartbeat. I had a bite and almost kept the rest for myself. The beer was cold, the cider was bubbly, and the Oaxaca Old Fashioned was smoky, deep, and richly flavored. The beer cheese nachos were also pretty great, because how can you go wrong with beer cheese and pickled jalapenos? :) Huge portions, fantastic service, really yummy comfort food. The only thing that could've made this better would be to have retro movies playing on some of the TVs.
