This really is a bar in the Crown Plaza Hotel, but they have some great food so we love it. We really don't drink, but give me a French dip sandwich or a burger and we are very happy. The service is really nice and it is fast. There are tables for you to dine at and a server will be with you right away. The menu is not huge, but everything on it is great. They really go out of their way to make their food great so it is just not a bar--but if you want to see a game there, this is the place to be. It is super clean. Parking is for a fee, but I recall them validating me last time. This place is close to LAX and perfect if waiting for a plane or someone getting off one. The hotel is also super nice. Have a fun time. read more

I ended up here because my United flight was delayed and I was going to miss my flight to Colombia, so had to re-book for next day and stay at SONESTA hotel to be able to be tomorrow at 8 am at LAX. Bright and early!!! Anyway... Century Taproom is an interesting place with tons of variety of taps and a full bar . The food is nice but the prices are steep, I guess no less is expected from an establishment near the airport. We had a mighty Hawaiian pizza it was good. You can have sushi from the neighbors if you want Service is pretty attentive Fun fact: the Dodgers are playing right now and we have to watch the game on the cellphone because here they are not showing any baseball sad!!! We are in LA!!! read more

Menu is prohibitively expensive, a consequence of the proximity to LAX. And when they stay open until midnight; we'll, they have you. The one exception is the pizza, which is quite good, and much larger than one might think. Crispy crust that is chewy inside. It's quite a nice pie, and a reasonable value on an otherwise unreasonably priced menu. read more

We had been traveling all day, had checked in to the Sonesta LAX, and I needed some food. The Taproom did the job (just keep in mind the pricing is "hotel pricing" aka pricey). I ordered the French Dip that hit spot and cured the hunger pangs. Very savory and full of flavor, I devoured every bite, including all the fries. The sandwich was $28, which is expensive but we were at the hotel where food is going to be more than what you normally see elsewhere. The service was on point and accommodating by the bartender who made sure we had everything we needed between food and drinks. My wife enjoyed the Moscow Mules, which she let me take a couple of sips and I approved as they were refreshing. The spot worked for what we needed at the hotel when we were still on Eastern Standard Time. read more

Century Taproom - Chocolate raspberry martini (and me) - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a great hotel dining option, especially if you've just gotten off a long flight. Yes, as with all hotel restaurants, it is really pricey, but the food was great quality, and definitely hit the spot. I had the mushroom and gruyere burger cooked medium rare. It came out perfectly done, and was a pretty generous portion size as well. The flavors mixed really well, and it is something I would happily order again! My husband had the barbeque burger, and he was just as pleased. Tip: if you are not IHG members already, it's so worth it to join (joining is free) because you get lots of dining perks like: 2 free domestic beers A percentage off of your order Free appetizer read more

It was great to see the Crowne Plaza offer a number of choice venues for dinner without leaving the property. After flying into LAX early evening, by the time we got the rental car and got settled in the room it was quite late and we really didn't feel like driving or even taking the short walk to a number of well known restaurants in the area? The hostess seated us immediately and we were greeted by our server both were very friendly and provide a very professional dinner service. We both chose the pulled Rotisserie Chicken Cobb Salad, which was unbelievably good and served in a giant bowl. the lettuce was cold and crisp, and the chicken warm and flavorful and all the topping tasted fresh, the blue cheese crumbles really made this a great salad I prefer ranch dressing with mine with a added drizzle of balsamic. The food came out quick and our server checked in on us a few times afterwards to ensure everything was ok. This is definitely a good option if you're staying on the property. I'd do it again. read more

Century Taproom - Chicken Cobb - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great service, but food is pretty mediocre and the prices are super expensive. Came here with a group of 10 on two different occasions. My group was on a pretty tight schedule so we had to get our checks right away and pay individually, which they accommodated without question. My biggest problem with this place was the quality of food and rather expensive prices. I got the Crowne Spinach Salad which comes with berries, goat cheese, and a strawberry vinaigrette. The salad was supposed to come with candied walnuts but I got peanuts instead. The dressing was wayyyy too strong and the whole plate was drenched in it. The best part was the goat cheese which helped to mellow out the acidity of the dressing but it was almost painful eating the salad. Everyone else in my group had pretty similar experiences with the food. read more

This hotel bar won't blow you away, but the massive meat and cheese plate will fill you up and keep you full for a while. There was nothing crazy on the charcuterie board, but the size of the portions were huge. A bartender that can make a nice martini and Manhattan is a big plus. Solid three stars for convenience and service. read more

My company puts me up here. There are hotel bars. AND THERE ARE HOTEL BARS. This is my perfect bar experience. LOTS. Of sports tv's Lightening fast beer service Quick food. If you prioritize other stuff maybe this isn't for you. I'm a professional traveller I WANT MY BEER NOW! My food really fast. And back to my room bed ASAP ! This is one of those rare hotels that seems to let the chef. Or mgr. think outside the box. I'm mean geez. Go to a Sheraton in Seattle and get the same crap in the sharaton bar menu in New York. ( can we please outlaw the Caesar salad) Seriously ? Awesome four page varied menu. I was in the beer drinking mood. ( every day after work) And went for the pizza. I custom made a pizza and gorged on a small with some extras. My beer never went empty The pizza was cooked through Complaints? Hmmmm. Can't think of one. Sorry. No picture. The pizza vaporized. I ate staring at a four foot long bar tap and four sports screens all on different channels. :30 minutes. To down three beers order cook and eat my food. Fast fast fast. read more

I checked out the Taproom, the hotel bar and bistro for the LAX Crowne Plaza, right after arriving. A nice open, clean dining room and well appointed bar. A few TVs for sports. 30 beers on tap with a good variety. The beer-snob won't be disappointed, but the regular crowd can still get a Bud Lite. A couple of folks at the bar were tucking into some very luscious looking pizzas. My antennae went up. You'd expect the eatery in a mid-range hotel to do standard "value" fare. Fries from the freezer bag into the fryer, hot, but not fresh. Short order burgers with a piece of iceberg lettuce and a slice of pink unripe tomato. Not so at the Taproom. They're doing fresh ingredients and real cooking. The next day, waiting on a delayed flight, I grabbed lunch at the bar. The pizzas here are really terrific. The dough is fresh, house made. Light and fluffy with a nice bit of chewiness in the crust. The veggies were fresh and delicious. Yeah, the sauce was a little sweeter than I prefer, but the pie was a real treat. Somewhere there is a classroom with a bunch of chefs standing on their desks shouting "Oh Captain, my Captain!" Gordon Ramsey has a tear in his eye as he turns back to thank them. Fresh food. Real ingredients. Nicely done, guys. read more

So, hotel food is hit and miss. For those who travel a lot unfortunately it's more often miss. Daniel the bartender who is excellent in every way recommended the prime rib dip sandwich with sweet potato fries. I trusted him and glad I did. Holy cow it was amazing. Prime rib shavings moist. Bun soft. Au jus amazing. Sweet potato fries as we say back in NY, fugetaboutit!! Daniel = great. Food and drinks = great. 5 stars!! Thank you for an amazing dinner! read more

Man this place was a train wreck. Stayed the night at the Crowne before our flight to Hawaii in the morning. Decided to stay in the hotel and eat here at the taproom. First off it took forever to get any service. Once we did get service we ordered all at once since we had the menu in hand for about 30 minutes (place was fairly empty as well) Ended up getting two 10" pizzas and two beers. Waitress promised some bread and butter. Had to ask several times before we got some stale bread. Our beers came and were flat. Absolutely no carbonation. Pizzas came and were both alright. What you'd expect to get from one of the chain brick oven type pizza places. The most insulting thing was getting the bill and seeing it was $60+ for the trash service and food we got. Not sure how this place can operate like this. Avoid and walk down the road to somewhere else! read more

I was in the area for a work conference today and had lunch here with a group of coworkers. We were all surprised to see how cute and cozy this place was. Even the menu design was pic worthy! Plus great ambiance and fun music! Definitely a pleasant surprise and a score, considering we were in a neighborhood of airport hotels. Service was great and the food was pretty yummy. I didn't order from the hot pasta bar, but it looked really good. My French onion soup was delicious. I would definitely go back and would like to visit for dinner, because there was a piano in the dining area. So I am guessing someone plays it during dinner time. I could also try going there just for drinks, since there's a full bar!! read more

We had a look at the cafe downstairs first but they do more takeaway foods and pizza, I wanted to sit down and enjoy Christmas lunch so we went to Taphouse. Considering it is Christmas Day the restaurant was busy. There was a steady stream of people and the restaurant was about half full the whole time we were there and we spend a few hours there eating and watching the NBA. There was a Christmas tree and a few Christmas wine specials too. Christmas music played in the background to make the place feel more festive as well. I've read many negative reviews about Taphouse and I am not sure why. We are Australian so we are use to minimum customer service in most places, this was not the case here. (This is not my first time in the US & yes I do understand that staff in the hospitality industry work hard to get tips) our waitress Cynthia was friendly, helpful by suggesting menu items and keeping us up to date with the progress of our meals and she was quick to refill empty drinks. The serving sizes were generous, we were well beyond full half way through our meals but plowed through! (For most of it!) Now the prices... This seems to have got the worst rap on Yelp reviews I have read. Again, we are Australian so we are use to paying about US$90 for what we ate here, (wings, club sandwich, burger, Coke and a beer) the bill came to about US$63 but we were given 25% off with the IHG membership. It's Christmas Day and I'm assuming there are few things open. The food here was delicious, the service great and the atmosphere good. I would absolutely recommend coming here, I really enjoyed our experience and plan on heading down again for a cocktail later too :) read more

My coworkers and I came here for lunch while attending a conference across the street. We were surprised at how chic and hip the decor was for a hotel by the airport. The entire vibe is great and worth checking out. I ordered the grilled salmon fillet sandwich which was a little hard to eat since it is a bun with a full fillet. The fries were standard and the house Sauvignon Blanc was okay for $10. Then again it is a restaurant in a hotel. A couple of the other girls ordered the hot pasta bar which was really good and fresh. This place gets 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up since I can't give a half star and because it has a cool atmosphere. read more

This place handles a large group quite nicely. I checked out the menu beforehand and was pleased with several labeled vegan options including a black bean burger, tofu stir-fry, and kale salad. Unfortunately, the waiter informed me that the kale salad was the only vegan option on the menu. While I do not get nearly as excited about a salad than a good vegan burger, it turned out to be quite delicious. I loved the lemon dressing, apples, and almond slivers. The bread, appetizers, and desserts were not vegan friendly. However, our very attentive waiter brought us a nice plate of watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple. I hope that they will expand their vegan friendly options in the future, but I was pleased with my meal and experience overall. read more

This 5-star rating is for Kenya, the hostess at Century Taproom tonight. My aunts has not even arrived yet and from the moment I walked in, Kenya was as warm and friendly as something you would expect from a close friend at a long-postponed reunion. My aunt has still not arrived (she likes to make the perfect entrance) which is fine with me because I like to get to know the staff when I am out dining. As a former flash-bartender and prime-time server at several restaurants along the Michelin Row in Yountville, California I take pride in my eye for excellence in service and accommodation. Kenya held pleasant conversation on our walk to the table, but that in and of itself is nothing particularly noteworthy. Necessary? Absolutely! Overlooked and often under-performed? Most certainly. But where Kenya began to set herself apart from "good" and enter the ranks of "great" began when she returned to my table to converse politely, as my aunt had not yet arrived, which was not reserved solely for me but after a couple of minutes she made her way around and either checked-on tables that had been served, or chatted briefly with those still awaiting their dining partner. After checking in at her stand and ushering in another couple, Kenya came over WITH REMOTE IN HAND and asked if there was a different channel or event I would prefer watching. After some effort (antiquated cable service, not Kenya's fault in the least) Kenya persevered and found the clippers vs warriors game we were looking for. This is the type of service that motivates me to give a 5-star rating on the sole basis of ONE member of the dining staff. I haven't done this before and don't expect to be blown away again like this anytime soon (tho I certainly hope to be!) unless I am back at the Century Taproom under the watchful, exceptional, and every-ready Kenya! read more

Atmosphere: clean, modern, chill area. Service: awesome! I believe our server's name was Blandon (not Brandon). He was very entertaining, nice, polite, and efficient. Food: the angus burger was really good! I had it with Swiss cheese, no onion, and bbq mustard sauce on the side (didn't know how it would taste at first, ended up being a really delicious sauce!) and I also had sweet potato fries. I loved my meal and the service, can't say anything bad about it at all! read more

I stay at the Crowne Plaza LAX quite frequently when I'm in the area and always make it a point to eat here. It's a hotel restaurant that goes beyond what you would expect. The prices are a little higher, but you're paying for the convince of not venturing out into LA traffic - which is worth the higher prices and extended wait times. Unlucky other reviews I leave, I give these waiters leeway as they are not only working here, but also the sushi bar immediately outside the entrance. Additionally they are going further to a centralized hotel kitchen. Be prepared to wait a little and I say that's okay. I've never seen a waiter or waitress here slacking! I always get the Crowne Pizza - nine inches so I can have some later. Very good. There is a good variety of choices on the menu, a full bar and TVs that are always playing football! read more

First my boyfriend and I were here last night for a night cap before turning in for the evening and the service was subpar. We were sat at a lounge table which was nice but the server was a bit neglectful. This evening we tried the dinner and I must say that the service was much better but the food was very subpar. We started with the Cerviche definitely was not traditional despite the menu description. First it was served with extremely greasy corn chips instead of plantain chips and to me tasted like it was previously frozen chicken that was drowned in bottled lemon juice not sea food. Second, other than the lemon juice, it had no real flavor. Finally I understand that we are on the mainland but traditionally it should be served in a coconut bowl. The dinner rolls were cold, hard as a rock & vertically tasteless and the butter was like an ice cube. For our main course we shared the rib steak which was very tasty and so tender that I did not need the steak knife to cut it (but I am so glad that the waiter was here to tell me which one was the steak knife). The mashed potatoes were also very good despite being cold however the vegetables were just saturated in butter. For dessert we ordered the chocolate lava cake, and was definitely looking forward to it but after approximately 15 plus minutes the server informed us that there was not any chocolate lava cakes. All in all I do not feel like this split meal was worth $90. read more

I was staying at a nearby hotel for an early morning flight the next day and needed a bit of food and drink. Found this place connected to the Crown plaza and sat at the bar.

Originally I had planned on going somewhere else for a meal but I didn't feel like venturing out of the hotel after awhile. Since there was a restaurant onsite at the Crowne Plaza I decided to give the Century Taproom a try. I was immediately seated by the hostess in the almost empty restaurant (throughout the meal it did get busier). I noticed the restaurant looked modern and had a decent amount of seating. The menu had sandwiches, salads, steak, and other typical foods of a hotel restaurant. After a few minutes of going over the menu the waitress took my order. I ended up having the club sandwich with French fries since this seemed like the most bland choice when flying the following morning. The sandwich was pretty good and not dry at all like some clubs can be, plus it was filling. I passed on getting anything to drink besides water. My glass was constantly refilled throughout the meal by my waitress and also by another server in the restaurant. I found the service to be really attentive with the waitress checking on me a couple times throughout the meal. Overall I was impressed with the restaurant and would probably eat here again if I was staying at the Crowne Plaza. read more

Yesterday I had my first experience at this place. I was attending a show - great music, great performances - the only reason I didn't left before! At beginning, house couldn't turn off radio stations - we had first 2 songs with that awkward soundtrack to beautiful live music. Then... they called the "new place" Tap Room - for just 12 beers? 21 on bottle - most VERY ordinary... so far away from local craft - which I was expecting. Then food... a beer place with NO FINGER FOOD whatsoever! Ridiculous... And the cherry on top of the cake... service... they reached the top 3 worst ever... to have my 2nd beer, took exactly 17 minutes after finishing 1st, and only because another table sent their server, after watching me waiving to die... Unless you're going for the music, and you REALLY like and want to support the musicians... DON'T EVER go to this place! read more

I did not have any food but if you are going for a drink, they are overpriced, and under pour.

Better bars at other LAX Hotels. read more

12 taps on a Wednesday night and only 3 are available...in a TAP ROOM! But wait...they have a wide assortment of bottled beer. NO THEY DON'T!

Do yourself a favor, get an Unber or Lyft, pay the $12 and go to El Segundo Brewing. You will feel less violated. If you are on an expense account? Drink up! This ain't no Tap Room, it's an expensive hotel lobby bar calling itself a Tap Room. I would talk about the food but after having one beer for $9, I lost my appetite. read more
