The Fountain Bar at the Grove was a relaxing experience. Ordered the Tiger Shrimp Tempura $27 The Wasabi Mayo was tasty, wish they gave to accompany the dish. Overall, a nice experience as a Caruso Member! read more

Fountain Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here last Wednesday evening, 05-20-26. Unfortunately, I had just missed happy hour by a few mins when I had sat down lol. I only wanted a drink anyways to kill time while I waited for the movie screening of "passenger" to start. The bartender was cool and professional. He was attentive to everyone. He provided good service. I had an "old fashioned". Nothing really special about the drink that stood out but I did enjoy it. I enjoyed the scenery as I was sipping my cocktail. Nothing but good vibes during my time at the bar with a nice view of the fountain. They have tables and seating which was mostly occupied. There are also heat lamps positioned around the dining areas. It's definitely a nice spot to have drink, maybe grab some food or simply come for a lil date or something. read more

What an idyllic place to enjoy an aperol spritz and watch the world go by. My friends and I needed a break from shopping and immediately wanted an aperol spritz. As we walked around, we saw this PERFECT bar that just looked like they would have them. There was plenty of seating, plus the ambient fountain noises nearby. It felt like we were in an Eden. The waiters were awesome. We could tell they were just as dedicated to these aperol spritzes as we were. They came out fast, plus they were huge and delicious. Being from Seattle, they seemed a tiny bit pricey, but the cost seemed to fit well with the incredible setting. Watching the beautiful fountains, stores, and people was a memory I will look back to in moments I need to find peace. This is the perfect cure for the mall drowsies and I truly loved my experience. read more

Stopped by to use our Caruso Welcome Rewards and sat at the bar. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. We enjoyed a glass of wine and beer and ordered a light snack of mixed olives and spicy tuna crispy rice. They were served quickly and it was tasty. Great place to stop by and enjoy the fountain view after shopping. read more

Great place to grab a drink or two and a quick bite and do some people watching. The view of the fountain is amazing and the servers were very attentive. Thanks read more

I've had drinks here multiple times. They have a great Happy Hour with wines and cocktails for $12.50. I'm always able to snag a seat right next to the fountain. Service is great and this is the perfect spot for people watching. Can't beat the fountain view. I had the Fountain Spritz yesterday. Very light and refreshing. Although it's always a great time here, I prefer to come Monday - Wednesday when it's least crowded. read more

If you are looking for a place to people watch, have good food/drinks, and don't mind spending a bit, Fountain Bar is PERFECT! After shopping a bit my friends and I got pretty hungry and stopped by here to grab some bites. Everything sounded so good so we decided to get a whole bunch of shareables like the tiger roll, truffle fries, fried calamari, blue ribbon fried chicken, spicy tuna crispy rice, and one drink each. Everything was delicious but we especially loved their fried calamari and spicy tuna crispy rice. I got their espresso-ish martini but thought it was extremely strong, on the other hand my friend said it was the best espresso martini she's ever had! The vibe was perfect but will say it was 4 of us, we didn't get full and check was about $200+... I would still come back for the vibe though!! Lastly, I would not recommend coming during the holiday season (snow show hour) unless you want fake snow/soap falling down on your food. It only lasted a few minutes and we covered our food but it did get a little crazy at one point LOL. I didn't get any cute pictures because we were just enjoying the moment :(( read more

I just wrote a not-so-great review so I felt like I had to end today on a high note with a 5-star review! I visited Fountain Bar at the Grove on May 19 with a couple friends. We had already eaten and we were looking for a spot to have a drink before going home. We settled on Fountain Bar because the weather was nice, it wasn't too crowded (it's a small little outdoor spot in the middle of an outdoor mall), and dog friendly. We arrived 10 minutes before 5pm and the server was quick to hand us their Social Hour menu (3pm-5pm Monday-Friday) and let us know if we order soon, we can grab a couple things off their happy hour menu. Kudos for that! Even though we were so full, we couldn't resist ordering a couple bites---Buffalo Cauliflower and Fries. I will say, even though they are very simple, was delicious and nicely priced not to mention came out super fast. I had one of their $12 wines from their Social Hour menu---Cremant Rose. I was surprised this was on their happy hour menu and for only $12, it was exactly what I needed. It didn't taste like those cheap, sweet wines you usually find on happy hour menus and it is definitely the drink I will get next time I go. Good vibes all around. read more

We had just seen a movie at the Grove, and decided to grab a drink and bite. This is a lovely location for people watching, with full shade in the afternoon and all the holiday preparations going on around it. I love the fact that we could enjoy the giant Christmas tree from our seats. Very relaxing atmosphere with the fountain water in the background and relaxed atmosphere. Service was pretty good, but when they're busy, they may be stretched a bit thin, so expect that. The food was delicious, we just had small bites today. The truffle fries were quite good with a little bit more pungent truffle oil that I'm used to, but I liked it! The spicy tuna cut rolls were really nice as well, a real nice purée texture to the tuna. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

One of the best places to visit on the affordable side at the Grove is the Fountain Bar. We usually come here to redeem one of our rewards. We usually get the fries to share and the husb gets a beer. Fries are tasty, the husb enjoys his beer. What is also enjoyable is the view. We get to see the fountain and the water rise and fall. Also, when they used to have the snow fall, it was the best place to be at. The Grove is a beautiful place and the Fountain Bar is the best spot to take it all in, and relax. Employees are friendly and prompt despite how busy it is. You do have to wait to be seated, once the husb and I made the mistake of just sitting down at an open table, they frown on that. Definitely try the Fountain Bar, it's good for coming here before your dinner reservation at another restaurant. Although you can definitely get a meal here as well. read more

yeah this place is really about average. nothing great, but not bad. quite expensive for what it is actually but I imagine its for tourists who want the experience so they'll pay for it. a nice place to sit and enjoy a snack or two! service was a bit slow too as it seemed like they kind of just forgot about us. but also its at the grove in the middle of the mall so I totally get how chaotic it is! read more

Such a perfect spot at The Grove! The ambiance is amazing, sitting right by the fountain with the lights reflecting on the water makes it feel extra special. It's the kind of place where you can just relax, enjoy the view, and sip on a drink while people-watching. The drinks were refreshing and well-made, and the fries I had were crispy and delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're here for a casual drink or just want to soak up the atmosphere, Fountain Bar is definitely a must-visit at The Grove. read more

Such a beautiful little spot by the flowing streams and fountains. I've been here many times and today was another great visit. Great view of the annual Christmas tree! Came in for a quick bite after the movie and enjoyed ourselves. Service was wonderful. Very attentive. Started with a couple of cocktails and then had the truffle fries and the spicy tuna and tempura flakes sushi roll and it was scrumptious. Great texture and very fresh sushi. Just lovely! Truffle fries were pretty good, but I wish they were a little crispy. Prices are what you would expect. Expensive. But you get the experience of the groove and all the beauty that surrounds it. read more

My first review was one star. Not knowing what I wanted to eat, I returned to the Fountain Bar to try their happy hour fare. No adult libation for me this time. I ordered a soda. There's no menu for the non-alcoholic beverages. You have to ask a waiter what they serve. The food is mid. I ate a little and was done. They had sauces for everything but I only tried one sauce - the one that accompanies the tempura shrimp. I also ordered the wings and a side of fries from the happy hour menu. I wasn't impressed by any of it. The shrimp smelled fishy, so perhaps not enough people order it and it sits longer than it should. The chicken is crispy, but it isn't particularly tender. The fries were fries. I've had better food from a frozen food section of a local grocery store. I ordered a soda. It was served from an unrefrigerated can over ice, which was gross. It didn't taste right. Again, the staff were not attentive. I asked for to-go boxes and had to box my own leftovers. I asked for my check and that was the only thing that arrived expeditiously. I just sat on it and placed an order from La La Land via their app. I didn't give up my seat until I knew my latte was ready. Watching these guys be attentive to white people and their fellow Latinos is truly insulting. I usually tip liberally, but I refuse to reward people for their ignorance. I am serious when I say I will NEVER return. When I order multiple items, deliver them all at once. Don't deliver them one-by-one. I also noticed the trio next to me sharing a single appetizer. They were given appetizer plates and their place settings were placed atop those plates. I barely received a place setting and it wasn't even placed where it should have been. Oh, and the flies!!! The first time I was there, I never saw a fly. They kept their tray open that contains the fruit and olives they use to garnish the drinks. Flies were all in that container. They were on the straws. They were on the bowl of lemons and limes on the bar - and that bowl was in the way. Everything about this place is garbage. NEVER again. read more

Came here on a busy night and was honestly expecting to just find a spot wherever. Jairo, John, and Manny went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. Jairo specifically made it a point to find us a seat right by the water even though the place was packed. He didn't have to do that, he could've easily overlooked us, but he came and found us and made it happen. That kind of attentiveness is rare when a spot is that busy. Solid all around from the whole team. The fountain view is worth it alone, but the staff is what really makes it. read more

They have the most delicious crispy rice spicy tuna and avocado sushi! I enjoy sitting here, having a cocktail while looking at the fountain and enjoying the grove vibes. The customer service is excellent! I love this place and I highly recommend it to everyone. read more

I used to love this place. I was craving the cauliflower appetizers. I went a few days ago and I order the buffalo cauliflower and it was such a disappointment. The cauliflower looked sad. It came out like popcorn balls. Looked fried and old. Like refrigerated food. I wish I would have taken a photo. It didn't used to be that way. Sadly I won't be going back . Wish they would have stayed with the original presentation and taste. Smh. Do better Fountain Bar. read more

Sat here to enjoy the snow. Worst espresso martini I've had in LA, maybe even in general. My friend got a different drink and it was also not good and had to be sent back. Truffle fries are whatever. Shrimp tempura was ok. Better dinning and drinking options in the grove. read more

Of course there are less touristic places to spend your cash & time in Los Angeles, but I wouldn't trade the moment we had at The Fountain Bar during the holidays for anything in the world. Our seat at the fountain's edge gave us stunning views of quintessential Grove sights -- the water show, massive Christmas tree, & passing trolly. It's the kind of planned magic only an outdoor mall in the entertainment capital of the world can provide! Service was great, our waiter never hovered & allowed us some leisure time to properly enjoy the weather, people watching, some fries, & a few drinks (Aperol Spritz, Lavender French 75, & Shirley Temple.) Had a fantastic time, even befriended the ladies with an adorable puppy at the next table! read more

It's okay. I thought eating in front of the fountain would be nice, but the water kept splashing on our table and eventually on our food. It's was really warm that day. I appreciated the umbrellas. Overall, not the best experience, but the vibes are really nice. Food is decent. Calamari was good. Hot tip: I used my Caruso points to get a $10 credit. read more

Been a long customer but today would be my last time at this place. Our waitress was so rude! We ordered so much and I asked here if the salad and fry's are currently coming with our orders, she confirmed yes. Then the bill comes out and I see extra charges, when I called her on it, she acted like I'm a poor cheap person! And I told here she does not need to be rude since I just wanted to clarify. She told me to get out and have a good day! You just lost a long time weekly client. Horrible read more

Summer calls for open-air bars! If you've been to the Grove chances are you've walked right by the Fountain Bar or at least have the water show right next to it.

First and last time here. Service from the wait staff was deplorable. Our server (older male) forgot our sushi order so we waited 40min in the cold and almost missed our movie. I understand mistakes happen, but he completely refused to accept any responsibility and kept trying to gaslight us into thinking that we didn't order the dish. Bro - it's two of us with very coherent memory against you. The younger female server wasn't helpful and just offered to put in the order as if it wasn't any inconvenience caused and just walked away. For an upscale bar / restaurant, they need to hire and train better staff. read more

Practically live here it's genuinely one of my fav places in LA... no scratch that. The world!!!

Came by for a shoot and so the food/drink options were already chosen. I'm a fry gal, and so was a little bummed not getting fries BUUUT I know I can definitely come back for it. A lot of others had fries so that's also why my eyes were a-wanderin'. Food/Drink: -Edamame: got the spicy and it tasted like tajin! loooove tajin so didn't complain about it, but it was interesting! I thought it would be a different spicyness. Loved edamames though and definitely gave a good amount -Riesling white wine: refreshing, coooool and sweet if that's your thing. And a decent pour which is always nice. Views: -the grove is infamously packed and all, but this spot is RIGHT next to the fountain and that was really nice, the water though does spray a TAD if you're that close, but it can be a nice thing too pending on what you prefer. Lovely! Next time: friessss + a red : ) read more

The Fountain Bar is right smack in the middle of the Grove and the location is perfect for relaxing and people watching. My gf and I grabbed a table by the water and just chilled with cocktails. I got the Oh Mai Mai Mai, which is basically a Mai Tai. It's absolutely delicious and definitely on the sweeter side. I love the color of the purple hibiscus foam. The cocktail made me feel like I was on vacation in Hawaii. My gf got an Espresso Martini and said that it tasted really good too. Overall, we both enjoyed our time here! Service was A+ as well. read more

We stopped for cocktails one evening while window shopping at the Grove. The Fountain Bar is a lovely outdoor space and we got a two-seater near the fountains. The drinks menu is varied - I ordered the strawberry margarita. My husband had the old fashioned. The drinks were good sized and delicious! The setting was perfect for people (and fountain) watching. Our server was kind and managed a lot of tables at once without slowing down service. It's a charming place and we will be back. read more

The Fountain Bar is alongside the main fountain at The Grove, next to the Original Farmers Market in LA. Validated parking at the Grove parking structure or valet for a fee. This outdoor seating restaurant offers the same menu as Blue Ribbon Sushi with less options. The menu consists of burgers, fries, sushi and cocktails. It's appeal is the fountain side view, but caution! because fountain H20 tends to splash onto you, your food and drink...not good! It's the perfect spot for watching all the action on the main road, including the green trolley and the parade of people and sometimes their pooches. Cool fun place to have a snack or drink and be visually amused by the lively surroundings. read more

Need a drink while visiting The Grove? Say no more. Proceed to the Fountain Bar. Located next to the (set to open) Apple Store, this little gem of a spot is perfect for a quick bite and drink. Although I don't care too much for rocks in my Old Fashioned, I made a rare exception. It's also a perfect place to people watch. Check it out. 5 Stars for the ambiance and service. read more
