Great spot great vibes staff is elite... I recommend this place to everyone especially when during sporting events.

If you're looking for the absolute best place to watch soccer, look no further than Game Changer Brewhouse on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks! I had the pleasure of watching the USA vs. Australia match there yesterday, and wow... what an unforgettable experience. The place was absolutely packed with passionate fans. Every table had American flags, and the energy was electric from kickoff to the final whistle. When Team USA scored, something incredible happened. The roar that erupted throughout the restaurant was so powerful it literally made everyone jump to their feet. You didn't have a choice--it was pure emotion. It reminded me of the kind of celebration you'd experience if you were sitting courtside when the Knicks clinched a championship. The sound, the excitement, and the unity of everyone chanting "USA! USA! USA!" gave me goosebumps. It was one of the most compelling sports moments I've ever experienced. I've watched the Dodgers clinch the World Series there, and that celebration was amazing, but this was something different. The passion of soccer fans created an atmosphere I'll never forget. And let's talk about the people who make Game Changer so special. Anthony, Tatum, Rio, Hailey, Chloe, Mattel, Bilal, Alisia, Weggins, and the entire staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is second to none. If you haven't experienced Game Changer Brewhouse yet, you're missing out. Whether you're a die-hard soccer fan or just love watching great sporting events with incredible people, this is the place to be. OMG... I love soccer, and I absolutely love Game Changer Brewhouse! I'll definitely be back. read more

Out here for the 2026 Champions League final. Walked in to a ton of great energy, definitely the spot in the Valley to watch footy It was busy during halftime but Anthony and staff hooked me and a few others up with extra seating. Ordered a pint and a flight, and had my friend duck outta the sun and join me here for brunch. Met a bloke from UK and his son (big tottenham guys. Kid might be a new Cole Palmer tho). PSG tied it up and the place erupted. Definitely the pub to be watching read more

This place was beyond bad. Beyond loud, crappy food, watered down drinks and the server spilled part of the drink on the person I was with and no apology from him and when I mentioned it to woman taking my order, she didn't care. Stay away. read more

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? read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great sports bar with tons of tv and beautiful brick design. The food is sub par. We tried the loaded tots that did not have that much toppings. Chicken wings with hot harissa honey were kind of bland. The fried cauliflower was good but needed some sauce. Flatbread needed more toppings and sauce. Just go here for drinks. The food all needs more toppings and sauce! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Was there for the mexico game super packed but still the service was amazing and mayra gets down on the lemon drops !!

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! read more

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. read more

TLDR: 4/5 - A great sports bar place, with some gastropub level food and good service. Ordered: Steak Frites - 4.5/5 Honestly for a sports bar was kinda blown away! Despite wanting a tab bit more seasoning salt on the chips, the steak was actually cooked to my desired medium rare (which truly never happens despite all attempts) and was sizable at that. For context, I asked the server about the portions and she was right! Service: 5/5 I did make a last minute reservation earlier that day for 2 at 6P during college football season to which when I got there the hostess looked a little stress at the options. I'm not sure if it was because of the general vibes or concerned there wasn't a table for us but alas we secured a good spot. Our server was super nice and attentive! I forgot her name! She was amazing though and I really appreciated her hospitality and honesty. Ambiance: 4/5 The noise level is expected to be loud at a sports bar. With that said just know that the noise level here is high perhaps because the space is a little small. However, I did appreciate that you could see whatever you wanted to watch at every possible angle you were sitting. A huge plus! The screens varied between projectors and flat screen. Parking: This is ventura so you'll only be able to get street parking. Its not as busy as other pockets of the blvd so I don't think its as much as an issue. read more

Always wanted to try this spot out - made reservations for the dodgers World Series game 2. We were a group of 3, and our reservations were to sit at the bar?(idk what the point was in making them lol). Anyway - the bartender Jenna was THHHEEEE BEST!! The whole staff was but she went above and beyond. I got the chop salad - it was super great but I feel everything was super overpriced food wise. The vibes were great tho - good people and location. Will be back for just drinks probably. Parking: there is meter street parking and some in the side street but be careful cause some were by permit only! read more

Stopped by to watch love Island and had so much fun! Tried the house IPA and it was incredible, will def be back

The food was some of the worst I've had at a sports bar--cold, poorly prepared, and lacking any flavor. Several items arrived incorrectly, and the quality was far below what the prices would suggest. Frozen food bought from restaurant depot and thrown in fryer. Cheap quality. What made the experience even worse was the owner's attitude. Rather than addressing concerns professionally, they were rude, dismissive, and seemed completely uninterested in customer satisfaction. A simple apology or attempt to resolve the issue would have gone a long way. There are plenty of sports bars where you can enjoy a game, good food, and respectful service. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. I won't be returning. The best sports bar in the area is the local peasant. Great Owner, great food, wonderful drinks, an amazing staff. read more

Let's start with the positive... cool place to watch sports! There is an awesome employee who has been there every time we come. He looks black but I know he speaks Spanish - I think he shared he is of Dominican ancestry - he's awesome! The food was good. My drink was good! Zach on the other hand... my husband and I sat at the bar. My husband is black! We ordered my drink, my husband was indecisive as to what he wanted to drink so we started with an appetizer. He immediately asked for a credit card - no problem! We gave him a credit card. He immediately handed it back to me. I thought that was odd because they normally hold cards at most bars. A few minutes later I get an alert for a charge (not a hold). We paid attention and he didn't do that with anyone else. Did he profile us based on the color of my husband's skin? Someone else brought us our food. NOBODY ever asked us if we wanted anything else. We were never provided a napkin or silverware (other guests at the bar were). We decided to find somewhere else to watch the game. I asked to close out (I still needed to sign and leave a tip - especially since we come here from time to time) and he hands me an unpaid bill! Huh??? I question it because I obviously got the alert that he charged my card. He didn't seem to think I knew and had every intention of charging me again. It gets worse - my husband wanted to pay in cash and when he charged my card (without giving us a choice to pay cash or card) he charged us an additional 3% for using a credit card! I took that 3% off his tip! I typically tip even if service is mediocre at best because I was once in the food service industry. Zach was horrible! He provided almost no service but the worst part is I'm pretty sure we were racially profiled and definitely treated very poorly. Very sad! read more

Three stars goes to our waitress, Addie. She never walked by our table, even when her hands were full delivering to another table, without looking to see if anything was needed. If we needed a refill, she stopped on her way back to the kitchen. Never missed a beat and always smiling. And she could be the double for Billy Bob Thorton's daughter in Landman. The food was okay but overpriced. The menu didn't mention that the $19 wings, which were very good, only included 6 wings: $3.17 per wing is insane. The Classic Cheeseburger at $19 was so-so and seemed small and odd flavors, but the fries were good. The $23 Mezze Platter had hummus, smoked onion dip, olives, veggie crudité (celery and carrots), cucumber, radish, and garlic lavash crackers. Pricey for what was included. The radish (or whatever root vegetable was included) was not peeled so it was so bitter it was inedible. The $19 fish taco trio was good except for the mint. For me, that did not blend well with the tacos and ruined them, but my daughter loved them. What was annoying? It is very loud because of the brick and concrete floor, but hey, it's a sports bar. No big problem there. But it is a sports bar and the Kings were in the playoffs. Lots of TVs, so no problem that they had some with the NFL Draft, the not-local NBA game, and the Kings game. Everyone could see the game they wanted. The problem? The manager decided that the sound should be the NBA game. Nothing but squeaking sneakers and the game calls. I looked around, and 95% of the people were watching the Kings game. Several people, including me, asked him to change the sound. Nope. Two tables had asked him to put on the NBA game, so that was that. No one said put the sound on for the NBA game, just the game. The main big screens all had it on. Fine. I discussed it with him as we left before our game was over because it was too annoying. First reaction was that the NBA game would be over before the Kings game and we could hear it then. He then said he was going to put us outside so we could have the Kings game sound on. What? He doubled-down on what he did. He was just not going to budge. This manager did not look around at his audience and did what he wanted instead of the customer. Told him we were never coming back. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for an eagle game & we absolutely enjoyed this place. The real sports bar experience, I love the vibes when it's game day. Everyone is in different jerseys rooting on their teams. Food was amazing I enjoyed my burritos. Potatoes were soft & bacon was crunchy. Over all had a good flavor , I loved the mimosas with the different purées they had like strawberry & peach. The service here was great, server made sure we were good the entire time. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer flight so much. We will definitely be coming back to this spot. read more

Decided today was the day to try on a new sports bar and I knew I'd need to expand my radius from home, so I made the drive and and soon as I tried to find parking on Ventura Boulevard, I remembered why I hated shopping along Ventura Boulevard. Found parking down the street a way, but only about a :5 walk. I was definitely late for kick-off, but since the pandemic sports bars haven't been too packed, but when I walked up, I could tell the place was completely packed, but they were able to find me one little spot at the bar, which is where I was hoping to sit anyway. As I was waiting, I was checking out the vaulted architecture of the brickwork inside, and it gave the brewhouse a very nice ambience and visual beauty. They do pack the tables and people into this spot, so watch your step as you wind through the aisles. They were definitely busy, but I sat at the bar for a good :15 minutes before anybody even looked my way. Their menu is definitely curated for the local population, so you won't find some typical sports bar fare on the menu, and we'll see something that you don't think of when you think about sports bars; however, the Berger I had was very good and everything I saw being served looked excellent. Also, it was packed when I went in and I left about halftime at the first game, and quickly noticed that a lot of the tables had plenty of space at them, so I'm not sure if most people don't spend an entire game there or not. It's definitely not local for me, but I would definitely come back because the place had a really good sports camaraderie scene, good food, and (eventually) attentive staff. read more

Amazing place to watch the World Cup and Tatum and Addison was amazing great service!!!:)

Game changer is a sleeper bar on Ventura blvd w an excellent beer selection and a pretty diverse food selection as well:) it's a cute lil sports bar but plenty of seating & very clean inside . even tho we came an hour before closing on a Sunday night, our server Mateo made sure we had an excellent experience. We got the Sherman oaks ipa and hazy for drinks. Both were great :) food wise we shared a fish& chips w the honey harissa wings! I wasn't expecting much but the wings were so crispy and flavorful ! Fish and chips was so soft buttery and had a fantastic lil crunch. What rly made the experience so great was Mateo's professionalism and customer service. From the way he gently let us know the kitchen was doing last call to his check ins and friendliness , I rly appreciated the service! Will def be back regularly to try their other beers and say hi to my new friend Mateo :) read more

Everything here was simply amazing and awesome! To begin, the vibe here was awesome for a game day. We came here for a Lakers playoff, and it was lit. We ordered the wings and fries, and they were really delicious and had the nice tossed sauce into it and the crisped skin on it.

This was hands down one of the best experiences I've had at a sports bar, and it came down to the service. Dave was our server, and he was incredible from start to finish. He was on top of everything; drinks never sat empty, food came out quickly, and he somehow managed to check in at all the right times without ever interrupting the flow of our night. He's got that rare balance of being efficient, friendly, and genuinely engaging. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it really elevates the whole experience. read more

A freind and I went for a nice walk. I googled this place and it looked like a good site to catch a playoff game. We walked in approximately 10 minutes before the game started. There was no hostess at the stand out front, so we walked up to the bar and asked the bar tender if it was okay for us to sit in two of the empty chairs. She said sure, and then brought us menu's and water. A couple of minutes later a guy wearing a suit started talking to some servers and the bartenders within hearing distance of us patrons. He told his staff that he had reservations for all the tables and the bar seats within hearing distance of us patrons. The guy next to me that I did not know turns to me and says "I guess they are kicking us out. " he had a drink and a finished plate of food in front of him. The manager guy in the suit made his employees tell the patrons that we would have to go. He didn't even do it himself. What a poor manager and leader. There was no planning as his team obviously did not know in advance and he was telling them the game plan after the game had started. I would have been fine if it had been explained to us that it was reservations only and that they were full, but since I asked and was seated I thought it was disrespectful, rude, and in really poor taste to ask us to leave after that. They made no effort to keep us there, and you could tell that the staff did not agree with the manager but that they had no choice but to follow orders. I won't ever go back. First time I have ever been seated at a place and then told after that they couldn't serve us and that we had to leave. The other thing was that they supposedly had reservations for all their tables and the bar, but the place was only half full 10 minutes before kick off. I doubt the reservations showed up. We went down the street to Islands and watch the game there. The bartender there is named Syd and she was great. Very friendly and attentive. We left her a really good tip. read more
