What a great sidewalk cafe! We grabbed a table next to a fountain beneath an umbrella. It was very fun watching the koi fish make their rounds. My husband had the best Manhattan of his life there. They make their own maraschino cherries. Apparently that is the secret. I can attest with a sip, it was supremely sweet, but not overly. The olives were the traditional in oil deliciousness. I just love olives. These had some garlic cloves mixed in which was a different kinda touch, but I appreciate it. Much to my chagrin, my husband took much delight in feeding the koi fish. They were admittedly beautiful and fun to watch... but please don't feed them. It was a blazing hot day & sitting near the listing fountain spray felt nice. It's a perfect people watching location. My sparkling rose in the traditional champagne glass felt old fashioned yet appropriate for the setting. And it was yummy. We'd highly recommend the calamari. Tasty & not overly breaded. read more

This is a very nice outdoor spot if your interested in having a relaxing day at the Grove. Nice selection of cocktails , signature drinks and mixed drinks beer and wine. Beautiful outdoor setting along side the water fountain to feel good music .we had some calamari and side of truffle fries. Little pricey but your paying for the setting and location. Calamari was little dry and truffle fries were over cooked .. it was still okay but not fantastic. I mostly enjoyed the scenery sipping a rose while my daughter has a mojito. Service was slow for that reason I gave it 4 star server never came and asked if we needed anything else or even water . Still an awesome location and front row to the fountain show synced to music on a beautiful day. read more

I love everything about this place: the atmosphere, the view, the fountain, you name it! The service is great and all bartenders and servers were really nice. I loved their drink selection: my two favorite cocktails were the Lavender French and Fountain Spritz. Keep it going the Fountain Bar, you're doing great! read more

Fountain Bar - The Lavender French cocktail - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Fountain Bar is right in the middle of the grove right next to the beautiful fountain and is beautifully lit at night. They don't validate parking but pretty much any other restaurant at the grove will (I usually get mine validated at the Cheesecake Factory). It's seat yourself service so it is a little difficult to track down the waiters. We didn't have the best service from the waiter. He wasn't rude but just seemed to be rushing us and like he didn't want to be there. They have a lot of alcoholic drinks to choose from. I just ordered a lemonade but it was mediocre. The beyond burger seemed very dry and it does not come with fries. It was a bit overpriced but that is to be expected since it's at the grove. read more

I love coming to the grove to just chill and shop but also to have a drink at the Fountain Bar and of course have some of their truffle fries! Get the truffle fries, you won't regret! Service is very quick and there's plenty of tables spread around the fountain area, it's very romantic. Their drinks are pretty good, I usually get a margarita here. Highlight recommend this little spot for a cute date at the Grove! read more

VERDICT: Good location for people-watching while you eat. Food is meh and fairly expensive. In retrospect, I should've just eaten before and just joined my coworkers to chat. LOCATION: Let's start with the good. The Grove is a great tourist destination, and you get to sit in the middle of it. You're right next to the fountain and all the lights (if around Christmas time). If you're looking for a quick-ish drink or bite before the movies, this is very close. Interesting to watch all the types of people walking around. FOOD: Food comes from the nearby Blue Ribbon restaurant. At first, you'd think the menu's pricing is great, most items are in the $10-15 range. Then our plate of 5 meatballs ($14) comes in. They are like the size of a foosball/cherry tomato! Ridiculous that it'd be almost $3 a pop, I could get a macaron from the nearby Laduree instead. Maybe the cost is to cover the BBQ sauce that drenches each meatball. Each bite is just BBQ in meat-form. While the fries are pricey, $11, you do get a huge mound of fries on a plate. We got both the truffle fries and cheese fries. The truffle oil wasn't overpowering but did taste chemical-y, like what you'd get from artificial truffle oil. The cheese fries clumped together and wasn't as cheesy as I'd imagine. DRINKS: I didn't order any though my coworkers did so unfortunately I can't comment too much here. Visually it did seem like there were a lot of ice in each glass. SERVICE: Server was nice, gave us a heads up that the kitchen was backed up, and made an effort to bring out food ASAP so we could make it to our movie. Didn't feel that they came by our table once all the food came out until it came to paying. DETAILS: November Friday, 8pm read more

This is review is for the drinks and customer service only. I had the strawberry margarita and the hubs had the old fashioned. The drinks were mixed well and they were strong! The margarita has a little spice to it due to the bell pepper tequila and was balanced well with the strawberry and lime. There was a huge order before us but the bartender was hustling and got to our order quickly. He was attentive to us, all the bar customers, and quick! There were no tables when we arrived, so we sat at the bar. Loved the ambiance and the place was cool in the shade during 90 degree weather. Definitely stop by for a quick drink between shopping trips! read more

The drinks here are amazing, I definitely recommend the Oh Mai Mai because the foam on the top really compliments it after dealing with the asshole Apple employees since it's right outside the front doors of the Apple Store lollll read more

Such a cute/relaxing spot to hang out and have a couple of drinks! We came here as we were trying to find something local to do in the area before catching our flight home. In the midst of walking around we wanted to get some drinks and spotted this outdoor bar. We were greeted instantly by the bartender and bar back. We had two little ones with us so we did have to of course sit away from the bar which was fine. The seating areas were covered pretty well with shading and was comfortable! Between the music playing and the fountain, it was the perfect little area to catch up. The fact that the weather was warm and sunny out made it even better! I will say that some of the music options can use a little life lol. And maybe it was because i was seated next to one of the speakers, but there were times that it got pretty loud (could be in sync with one of the mini water shows perhaps?). I'd say the drink prices were pretty fair... or almost what you'd just expect to pay in the area. I ordered an old fashioned and it was made just right! Side note... i thought it was awesome that they had a candle for one of the little ones to blow a little cake for his birthday. The bakery i got the cupcake from didn't even have one lol. read more

If you're looking for food, look elsewhere. My wife started laughing when they brought our food or should I say snacks. We basically ate, and within the hour were eating again. The burger was smaller than a happy meal burger! And no sides come with it. We're still laughing. She got the lobster sliders, and again I told her basically got a half tuna fish sandwich on wonder bread lol. Now if it's ambiance and drinks you're looking for, I could see this being the spot. Great outdoors surrounded by all the lighting of the Grove. Again, not a bad spot, but if your main goal is food and not snacks, I would recommend somewhere else for the price. read more

The food was delicious! We were totally neglected by our waiter though. He never came to check on us. We almost ate without anything to drink. He took care of all his other tables with grace, but when it came to us it was like he didn't want to be there, never smiled once. We would've left, if it wasn't for the bar staff, who were amazing. Kudos to the bar staff for saving the day! read more

I don't know what it looked like before COVID but it seems pretty well suited to COVID since the bar's seating is nothing but outside. The prices are pretty high, but a place like this is basically a theme bar, you're going to pay a premium for everything. However, the view in front of the fountain kind of makes up for it, and it's nice to be able to soak up the sun and have an overpriced beer. Service here isn't too bad, staff here are pretty quick to check on you. I didn't get the food, but it's a good place to unwind from all that's going since it's right in the middle of The Grove. read more

I'm not one to normally leave yelp reviews, but after an $150 dinner with my girlfriend we left hungry and feeling rather duped. We were craving sushi so we ordered a couple of rolls off of their "sushi" menu, as that's what lured us in, only to be served the skimpiest portions of sashimi I've ever seen. We pointed out to them afterwards that they probably shouldn't list sashimi on a sushi rolls menu as it's not sushi and not nearly as filling and they just shrugged their shoulders and didn't seem to care. So although I hate to be one of those types, I can't justify giving this place anything more than one star and even that's generous. read more

The idea and location was cute but then the food too so long after some came out so some of our food became cold and then turns out they forgot to put in the missing burger. Asked for sugar on my margarita and it's salt... service was good but quality is horrible not only were the proportions small but the food was so mid!!!! Do not come here if your looking for a meal these are only tiny proportions for regular prices :| read more

Decided to have a cute mother/daughters dinner after a day of shopping at the grove. The ambiance is so cute at this place. They put tables right by the fountains and you get to people watch and enjoy the water/music. So why did I rate them at 2 stars? Well after sitting down, we found out that this place is an extension of the sushi restaurant "blue ribbon" where my sister and I had a bad experience. However, we decided to stay and give its owners a second shot. Service is great, we ordered a couple of drinks, the truffle fries and lobster roll. Everything came in a timely manner but when we took out our utensils to eat, we saw the the ute were dirty. Kinda makes you wonder if the food is sanitary. Anyways, we got another set of utensils and gave the food a go. Very little truffle on the fries and not enough lobster in the roll. Drinks were kinda weak but they had a good taste. I probably won't go back but if I do I'll just sit at the bar and order a drink (double shot) read more

My fiancé and I visited here yesterday for lunch. I had the burger she had the chicken sandwich. The burger was super small and the price was like $20. The fries was all stock together. They didn't bring our orders at the same time. And when I asked the guy he acted like I owed him something. The only reason I'm giving 2 starts rather than 1 is because of the ambience and the fact that we were sitting right next to the water. read more

Avoid at all cost. Grotesquely expensive and the service is terrible. I don't blame the servers, but the bartender. He seemed totally overwhelmed and there weren't many people there. My wife and I have come here several times to just hang while the kids run around. Every time we think it's going to be different, and every time it takes 15/20min to get a glass of wine and a tequila and soda. Ridiculous. I never leave reviews but this is egregious. Management, do better and stop assuming just because you're in the grove you can take advantage of patrons. My wife and I will never return, learn from our experience and try another place. read more

Nephew and I enjoyed the drinks bacon fat fries, and California crab rolls. We got seated by the fountain and didn't mind the mist whenever the wind blew. read more

Love their Margarita!!! the waiter was so Awesome. Very friendly and professional. I also saw him being nice to a family sitting next to me looks like almost done with their meal. They asked him to switch their table with the one by the fountain. He kindly helped them. It makes me Happy by seeing them being happy because his kindness and wonderful customer services.I hope they left good tip for him and two thumbs up for Yelp review. One small suggestion for the management is that it might be nice to put a nice sign to let the Customers know *we don't need to wait to be seated* read more

Nice outdoor bar in The Grove to grab a drink in between shopping. Melissa was our bartender and she served up excellent drinks and conversation.

My friends ordered Moscow Mules and thoroughly enjoyed as well. read more

I love this new addition to The Grove's bar line-up. The location is beautiful (especially at night), they have an interesting and friendly local crowd of regulars, the service is good, food was tasty, and to be honest, I didn't think the prices were that bad, considering the prime spot they've got next to the fountain. The drinks were delicious, though only in LA would they plot cocktails according to "disposition". Ha! Gotta say, if I still lived in LA, this would be a regular stop for me. If you're at The Grove, especially at night, I highly recommend stopping at The Fountain Bar for a snack and a drink or two! read more

Stopped by here twice and it does not disappoint. It's a cute little outside bar and eatery at The Grove. The cauliflower are amazing. Tried the wings this time and oMG! So good, hot and fresh. They are not your average wings. The service is fast and pleasant and the prosecco is on point. The view of the fountain is a bonus. If you are at the grove and looking for good eats, this is your spot. Boom. read more

I don't understand why this place got such a low star rating. I did knock off one star for it being very pricey. However, I think we are paying for such a great location. So I would say it should get five stars, but the food was not so great and it was heavily priced... so that's why this place got four stars in my opinion. I think it's such a hip spot! It's right in the center of The Grove. It's a seat yourself, outdoor venue. You can view the fountain show at the top of every hour right there next to a heat lamp while sippin' a delicious, well-crafted drink. I like to stop by here for a drink or two before watching a movie. I usually get a Big Daddy Cane (I think that's what it is...). It's super strong and gets the job done! You'll find that on their menu! This last time I visited, I had a simple margarita and a house gin martini. Very well done! I loved it. I don't have much else to say about this place. It was a good place for drinks in a great setting! read more

Nice drink menu - from the alcohol free Rose Bud to a smooth and strong Old Fashioned. As for the food, there's bacon, cheese or cream on everything but the olives and crudite, so we decided to just enjoy drinks and olives before the movie. I appreciated the fact that the server didn't seem to mind at all. Overall, great place to meet for pre-movie drinks, but I'd likely not come here otherwise, especially if I've got an appetite. read more

Drinks by the bartender are great! Great atmosphere of walk by traffic. I did not have any food. But they don't offer ANY desserts/sweets. So I picked up cheesecake next door to be told I can't eat outdoor food. That's totally understandable if they offered desserts. But they don't! So you guys get one star. read more

This place is REALLY GREAT for the ambiance when you're at The Grove. It feels like you're at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. But um... there are lots of Americans around so people speak English instead of French. And no cigarettes. Ok, nvm about Paris... Lol. The place is nice though! The service is great, food is good, but servings are a bit small. No worries, I need to slim down anyway. The beets and burrata were soooo good! The grilled avocado and tomato salad was good, but not as good as the beets n burrata. read more
