    Don Julio Reposado
    Evan W.

    Stopped into Game Changer for a bite of lunch and a good tequila to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. It's a nicely appointed restaurant, with TVs covering the walls, and all manner of sports playing at all times. It was a little past prime lunch time, so there were only a few customers eating, and the staff was getting the place ready for what was surely to be a busy night (Cindo de Mayo + the Lakers in the playoffs). I ordered my glass of tequila (Don Julio Reposado), which was served neat with a fresh slice of orange, and was just what I needed. To eat, I decided on the Fried Calamari with crispy jalapeños -- and that's where things headed downhill. The calamari was seriously sub-par, disappointingly chewy even when hot right out of the kitchen, and then downright rubber-like when slightly cooled. I'm assuming this is cheap, commercial, frozen calamari, as you might get someplace that also serves Dodger Dogs as a feature attraction. Given the number of restaurants serving better food in the neighboring square mile, Game Changer needs to up their game if they're going to stay... in the game?

    Tatum is by far the best!! Definitely coming back!! World cup games are the best here!

    If you're looking for a chill spot with good food and a clean vibe, Game Changers Brewery is definitely worth checking out. I tried the wings, cauliflower wings, and the chicken burger, and everything hit. The wings had great flavor and were cooked just right, and I appreciated that the cauliflower wings weren't just an afterthought--they were actually really good. The chicken burger was solid too, juicy and satisfying without being too heavy. Service was pretty good overall, and the place itself stood out for how clean it was. You can tell they take pride in the space, which always makes the experience better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Brewhouse Fried Pickles

    Stopped by in a random Wednesday for a quick diner and drinks. We got here fairly early so we had plenty of seating options. The bartender was wonderful! Got us started with our drinks and menus. We started with the fried pickles and loaded tater tots. Both of them were super good. But definitely be careful with those fried pickles. They are extremely warm. And I love pickles and I'm extremely impatient, and bite into it and burned my lip. I had the Fish and Chips, and they were good. Not your typical two pieces of fish but small ball shaped bites. I had the Royal Chocolate Stout and O.M.G was it fantastic! I'd come back just for the beer! For dessert we shared the Pecan Pie and that too was yummy. Only down side was our waitress, I understand getting busy but she had all of 3 tables including us and my second drink didn't come till after we finished our meal.

    Addison doesn't skip a beat and keeps it all going! great vibe, great drinks, great wings with great service! I chose two drinks and told her to surprise me with the best one, and the Game 5 was on point!

    Came here for college football. It was so packed! Literally every table booked. You had to make a reservation, which was nice actually because you're guaranteed a seat. Also no cover charge which is much appreciated. We had a party of 7. They have plenty of tables but I feel like 7 or 8 would be the max party size. At least when there's a watch party situation. Service was a bit slow but that's to be expected when it was pretty much at capacity. Our server was great though. He was on it. It's very loud on game days. Also there are literally 20-something TVs which is a bit excessive. But no more craning your neck to see! Food was pretty good. I had the mezze platter. A bit salty but scrumptious nonetheless. Drinks were decently priced. I especially liked the GCB Berliner Weisse. Overall good experience! Super fun atmosphere when there's a game on! Parking is just along Ventura or surrounding streets.

    Dirty glassware- enough said.

    My husband and I made a reservation at Game Changer Brewhouse to watch the Chargers playoff game and arrived early for our 5:15 p.m. reservation. Upon arrival, we were told reservations "did not matter" and were quoted a 30-45 minute wait, which turned into nearly an hour. Multiple parties who arrived after us were seated before we were. We were finally seated at 5:25 p.m. at a makeshift table on the public sidewalk, directly in front of the entrance, with folding chairs. We were told several times we would receive heaters, yet nearby tables received them while we did not- until we specifically asked someone we assumed was a manager. Service was extremely slow. Our server dropped off empty water glasses and took over 10 minutes to return with water. We ordered 2 rounds of drinks, a starter, and entrées at the same time, but it took over 20 minutes just to receive our drinks, and tables seated after us were served before us. Our entrees arrived before our starter. Even after a reminder, the appetizer arrived about 20 minutes later. The crispy cauliflower was dry, greasy, and had an off putting fishy taste, so we sent it back. Both our water and beer glasses were visibly dirty. Throughout the evening, we overheard management comping food and drinks for other tables due to similar issues. Overall, between the disregard for reservations, poor seating, slow service, food quality issues, and cleanliness concerns, this was a very disappointing experience.

    Tatum made the experience incredibly memorable and delivered service that was in point the entire time.

    Tatum was amazing and great service!! My cup was never empty!! She took care of everything during the World Cup opener!!

    My friends and I tried to come watch the NBA finals here and had a very bad experience. I made a reservation on their website. I initially made it for 4 but realized we needed it for 5. Did this the day before our reservation. Once I knew an additional person would be added, I called and asked if we could change the reservation to 5. Long story short, I had to cancel and re-book the reservation which I did with the person over the phone. We arrive at the bar and are told it's a $50 minimum per guest. Nowhere in the booking process on the website or while speaking to someone directly on the phone was this information presented. Since we declined wanting to do that as we had to leave at halftime for an event, we couldn't go to our table. The host was nice but not very helpful. She suggested we speak to a manager which I did and he had no desire to be understanding or helpful of the situation when I showed him screenshots of everything to see we never saw that "minimum" prior to arriving. He was dismissive and rude. We were told it was present on the website when booking (even though I knew it wasn't because I never would've made the reservation if so). The only thing present when booking was mention of a cancellation fee. I went to book a new reservation for an upcoming Finals game to see if maybe I missed it and what do you know? It's nowhere to be seen (please see attached). If that's their policy, fine. That's not the problem. The problem is we were not informed of said policy until arriving on site then were turned away when we didn't agree to it. Do they want us to get blackout drunk on a Wednesday evening so we each spend $50? That's a bad look. We left, took our business elsewhere, and won't be back. Attached are screenshots of the booking page directly from their website which shows zero mention as well as my confirmation email. Avoid this bar as they just want your money and don't care how you're treated.

    I highly recommend Game Changers Brewhouse to anyone out to have good food and drinks and especially if you are coming to watch a sporting event! I have been here to watch many NBA games and UFC events and the amount of tv's is great and the vibes are great! One thing I like is that although it does function as a sports bar aesthetic feels more like a cool dinner/bar spot! Highly recommend and ask for Trystin our amazing server!

    Awesome new-ish brewery and grub spot. I had their Yumi Japanese Rice Lager and the Baja Lager... both were delicious for their respective styles. The food was excellent and the beer non-beer drinkers in the group enjoyed the margarita flight! Overall, great spot that deserves a try.

    3 minutes ago Came here on a whim and honestly one of the best brewhouse experiences I've had in a while. The beer selection was --tons of variety whether you're into IPAs, stouts, or something lighter. You can tell they actually care about the quality and flavor of what they're brewing. The atmosphere is what really sets this place apart. Super laid-back, great energy, and the kind of spot you can hang out for hours. Whether you're with friends or just grabbing a drink solo, it feels welcoming and not pretentious at all. Staff was top-tier too-friendly, knowledgeable, and gave solid recommendations without trying to upsell anything. Big plus. Also loved the setup--plenty of space, good music, and just an overall vibe that makes you want to come back. Definitely going to be a regular spot for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for good beer and a chill environment.

There's a limited amount of parking behind but street parking is available along the front and residential area. It can be a little difficult when it comes to parking but you'll find something. The place is pretty big inside. It doesn't look that way from the outside but very roomy. A good amount of seating along the patio and loads more inside. There's two levels but I'm not sure if the second is alway open or if they utilize it for a private event. Right when you walk in, the middle of the room has a couple of pool tables and just past that is the bar area. There's loads of beer on tap so I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. Plus if you don't know what you like, have a little sample of something. Besides the drinks, they also have a food menu which some of the dishes that came out looked quite tasty. I've been to other breweries which certain nights they have different event. I'm not sure if they do but if they did, it maybe fun. Love the open concept of the place and it's pet friendly.

This was off. Skunky. Metallic. We told her and she said "that's too bad. You could have tasted it. You'll have to buy another different beer. I can't give this to anyone else. ".

She said and I quote, "it's supposed to have mold. It's a sour beer." Why do this to people? Was she not trained? New? From google: Drinking a sour beer with significant mold on the cork may cause allergic reactions (sneezing, coughing) or gastrointestinal distress, such as stomach cramps, diarrhea, or nausea. While beer's alcohol and acidity generally prevent dangerous pathogens from surviving, mold can produce toxins. It is best to dump the beer if mold is extensive. Potential Consequences and Risks: Health Reactions: Individuals sensitive to mold may experience immediate respiratory symptoms like congestion, as well as potential stomach discomfort. Mycotoxins: While unlikely to be immediately fatal in small amounts, mold can produce harmful toxins with potential long-term health effects. Off-Flavors: The mold will likely ruin the taste of the beer, causing it to taste stale, overly metallic, or damp. Contamination: If the mold has penetrated the bottle, it indicates significant contamination, making it unsafe to consume. How Long Does Canned Beer Last?

Sherman Oaks is gritty and the section of Ventura Boulevard that houses TLP is almost brutalist in its anti-establishment aesthetic. You would never know it was here if you didn't either live in the neighborhood or seek it out as I did. It is sandwiched between a completely non-descript place that I didn't even look at and a crystals shop with grafitti-etched windows (unfortunately!) but some really cool beads. Inside is the same -- no frills, a dress-down and survive-if-you-dare vibe. My pictures will illustrate what I mean. Nevertheless, the friendly service (shout out to our server, Patrick), the menu, and the quality of the food are well worth it. Again, see what we ordered in the photos attached. Everything was delicious. The floor, tables, and chairs were all clean. There is some kind of post-apocalypse rhumba going on with the ceiling treatment. It is almost reverse-logic art with all the shading (stains? velour movement?) and utilitarian installation it reveals. Love the walls though, and the worn distressed wood everywhere (see the pix, folks). A bonus was watching the Masters (Patrick let us linger) and sitting by a giant window that was open to the street. Parking is up a block or so on either side. We always find safe spots in Sherman Oaks. The music seemed to be one CD of an unknown (to me) vocal artist and was pleasant. The crowd was friendly and the whole atmosphere was like one big homey grunge party. You know those mornings you fall out of bed and almost don't want to change out of your pajamas or yoga threds? This is the place to go. I loved it. (NOTE: You may have to refresh this page twice to see my pictures, for some reason. grrrrrr)

    Spoiler Alert! Boneyard Bistro is now the best place in Sherman Oaks to get pizza. You may think…read moreI'm crazy, but it's true. This longstanding BBQ stop on Ventura, with fantastic Q and a bunch of recently-added creative dishes like Brisket Dan Dan Noodles and Shawarma-Spiced Salmon, is also baking pizza at a level of quality and taste that most full-blown pizza places never achieve. I've been eyeing Boneyard's pizza for a while. When I first saw it on the menu I thought it was a gimmick. Then, I saw other people ordering various pies, and they all looked fantastic. So, last night I popped in by myself, sat the bar and ordered the House Made Spicy Fennel Sausage Pizza -- and let me tell you, this is NOT a gimmick of any kind. The crust is born of an expertly made dough that's clearly given time to rise and rest before being drafted for service. As such, the crust arrives crispy on the outside, airy and light inside, and sturdy enough to hold the other components. This is huge, because so many places taking pride in serving traditional Neopolitan Pizza deliver pies with charred crusts that turn to disintegrated soup in the center. Not here. With that solid base set, the layer of smoky tomato sauce makes its presence known but remains a foundation, supporting the very flavorful smoked mozzarella without adding too much acid or sweet. By the way, that smoked mozz gives off tons of flavor and also offers a very satisfying chew. The titular Spicy Fennel Sausage boasts a terrific, herbaceous flavor of its own, but isn't really all that spicy. There's a little heat to it, but it's perfectly balanced with everything else -- so if the word "spicy" normally scares you, you have no reason to be afraid. What you DO have is every reason in the world to eat this pizza. The 12" pie is hearty and filling. Plenty for 2 people to share, or for a single to take some home (as I did) -- but I wouldn't give you the side-eye if you ate it all by yourself, because YOLO. And since YOLO, I suggest you eschew the rest of the local pizza purveyors, order up a pie at Boneyard, and see what all my shouting's about. Guaranteed, from then on you'll also be shouting, "hey everyone, let's go get pizza at the barbecue place!
