    General Admission has a great chef, Mario Valdez. He puts great items on the menu in a bar/pub type environment. They have a wonderful menu with stacked sandwiches, yummy salads, really good burgers, and shareable plates which are so good. They even have something I call pizza, but it isn't really, it is a flatbread with great toppings or another bread type item that sure reminds me of pizza with similar toppings. They have MARGARITA which is CRISPY PEPPERONI WITH A DRIZZLE OF SPICY HONEY, MELTY CHEESE, AND MARINARA ON A THIN, FLATBREAD. They also have great chicken tenders, wonderful wraps and yummy salads. My favorite being the Caesar. The service is great and the place is clean and comfortable. They have great drinks and some nice big screen TVs. This is not just some Sports Bar, it is better.

    General Admission has a fun, energetic atmosphere where you can grab some food and drinks before the whole place turns into a vibe. The chicken wings were crispy, flavorful, and noticeably high quality compared to typical bar food. The mozzarella sticks were the real standout and easily some of the best I've had. Between the surprisingly great food, drinks, and lively atmosphere, it's a solid spot for both eating and having a good time.

    Happy Hour Menu as of Sept '26 - "not available during major sporting events"
    Cheyenne P.

    Came here before Universal Horror Nights on a Thursday around 4:30pm because it was so close & happy hour was listed as M-F 3-6pm. We start to order off the HH menu and the waitress says she doesn't think it's happy hour (??) and confirms it's not due to the fact there's a game on soon? The game didn't start for another hour and aside from the fact we were clearly not there for that, we were absolutely stunned to see "please note: happy hour may not be available during specific major sporting events" was mentioned in tiny fine print on the bottom of the menu. We chose to order the same food items anyway because we were splitting it amongst 3 of us - and service quickly dwindled after that. We were left alone for a while and were finally given the bill - $103 LOL for 3 beers, 2 sliders, fries & crispy tuna rice. Turns out they also automatically added 20% gratuity which irritated us even more since the service didn't call for more than 10%. The fan wasn't operating on our side of the bar, flies were everywhere, food was mediocre, spotty service, no happy hour, and automatic tip.. Disappointed!

    Sergio (?) was amazing. He was funny, attentive and put up with our banter. Fun little bar, came on a Sunday night and even though it wasn't too busy--the vibes were good (music was a plus). Ps. wagyu sliders are yummy! Would come back :-)

    Cheers!

    Came to GA for Wednesday night trivia and had a great time. Staff is very welcoming and it seems supportive of one another, as more than one server checked on us repeatedly through our stay. I was surprised they offer all day HH specials on Wednesday, alongside trivia, but I was happy to make some selections of nibbles from these specials. I started with the lively "Love 40" libation of vodka and lemonade raspberry. Very refreshing. Hubs ordered the Classic burger, which was $12 on the HH menu and served a la carte. He also foregoes the garnish, preferring just a meat and cheese burger, so it looked kinda small without the arugula, caramelized onions , tomatoes and pickles, but he said it was tasty and satisfying. I opted for the Carne Asada Street Fries, which were a full plate of yumminess, topped with a delicious dollop of fresh guac. They had a sliiight kick, but having the pico on the side made them manageable for my delicate palette. lol Lots of fun, teams were in high spirits and the trivia host kept the music pumping and the good vibes flowing. I love the large, open windows that made the space feel even more inviting. We found parking on the street, but there were also a few spots in the back. This relaxing, friendly, chill vibe spot makes for a great gathering place. Lots of room to bring friends and family. I look forward to returning for a trivia rematch soon. Cheers! "CC"

    Love this spot. Cute bartenders and the indoor/outdoor is a vibe. Great sports bar! Had some speciality drinks. Large range of beers too on tap. Super friendly.

    This place is a total game day winner. The atmosphere is lively and fun! Various screens, great energy, and the kind of vibe that works whether you're deep into the game or just there for a good time. Our server Mai was phenomenal. She was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything during our visit. On the food side, the lemon pepper wings were crispy and packed with flavor, the mozzarella sticks were perfectly gooey, the crispy rice was a surprisingly fresh and tasty addition, and the churros were the perfect sweet finish. Highly recommend, and ask for Mai when you go!

    We had plans to be in the area, so we made brunch reservations at General Admission. When we arrived, we were surprised to be told that GA is not affiliated with Open Table. It was a busy time with the place near capacity with football fans. The team member who greeted us said that we can sit anywhere, except for the "Reserved" table. We were lucky to have found one open table at a nice corner spot. Despite the packed house, service was super-friendly and efficient. Our food came out fast, and drinks refilled continuously. Checking on customers was non-stop and everyone seemed just happy to be there. The vibe was infectiously fun. We ordered the Chik, Biscuits & Gravy and Chorizo Skillet. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly crispy chicken and chorizo gravy but found the biscuits dry. Some butter or extra gravy may have helped. My Chorizo Skillet was satisfying and delicious. We parked just down the street (free on Sundays). Valet parking was also available.

    Really great place! Love going here for Wednesday night trivia. They have a great happy hour that goes all night. I got items off the chef's special, tuna on rice cake and spicy chicken sliders, both of which were delicious. Parking was easy though I know from experience on the weekends it can be tough. Very friendly and attentive staff!

    Chicken nachos
    Analiea M.

    Stopped in here on a Saturday after a day at Universal Studios. It's like a sports bar vibe with some open outdoor seating. They have a cool little happy hour menu, but it's not available on the weekends. It has a family friendly vibe during the day and more of a lounge vibe at night. We ended up getting some chicken nachos and a couple drinks. The chicken nachos were very yummy, lots of flavor just wish there was a large serving. Service is good as well, they had our food and drinks ready pretty fast. I would love to return sometime to try out their HH menu! Nice little spot, would recommend.

    Food was good, the portions that they give you is worth it. The drinks were good as well, service was 10/10 as all the staff made sure to come around every so often to see how the table was doing and food came out quick. The vibes were good with a bunch of screens to watch any game that's streaming. The only thing is I wish music would've been better as it was a weekend and was looking for hype vibes.

    NBA Playoff Game between Minnesota and Oklahoma (Game 2). It's why I was up in the Valley on a Thursday night. Lost my friendly wager with a friend but had a great time catching up with friends and enjoying some good food and drinks. For starters, parking. There are a handful of spots out back otherwise, it's street parking. I lucked out and found a spot without having to do any laps around the neighborhood. Read the signs as I didn't go out looking for what, if any - the parking restrictions might be. I sat at the bar but know there's both outdoor and indoor seating. I like the open air concept - the entire front of the building is open for natural light. And fresh air if depending on what you consider fresh air in California. The place has a modern feel and is nice and clean. TV's all around so there's not really a bad seat in the place if that's what you're there for. As for service, Tiffany, behind the bar was aces. Both the server and bartender. The old fashioned, whiskey sour and margarita I had were all great - balanced and good tasting. Food was decent for what I consider bar food. See pics. Huge portions to the point I'm still full and I'm composing this, this morning after my visit last night. For future games, this is definitely on my list of places to go to as it's not that bad to get to after work seeing as I don't work too far and I'm going against traffic. Crowd was chill as well as the vibe.

    Tl;dr: Probably fine for a beer and a game, but locals, don't eat here!!! Years later, no change. Attached is a photo of a grilled peach salad. Except peaches not grilled...hmm...description from their menu below. Also note the walnuts are not caramelized and there is no fennel. Grilled Peach Salad arugula, peaches, oranges, caramelized walnuts, goat cheese, shaved fennel, passion fruit dressing Kitchen doesn't even pretend menu description is relevant.

    This place came up several times when I researched on great restaurants that have excellent vibes…read moreand great food. Although it didn't really necessarily show up as "the best food in LA area" but all the reviews were so good so I became curious to try. Mainly the reviews also raved about the vibes, services, and live music. Well, they were not wrong! It was fairly easy to make a reservation through Opentable, and I made a reservation for two people for my birthday dinner on Sunday night. I put on the notes that it's my bday so it'll be nice to get a nice table near the stage. I didn't have a high expectation, cos I'd never been to the place and I didn't make a call or anything. But wow, they definitely gave us a great table at the very front! As many reviewers had mentioned, the acoustic of the restaurant is really great. You can barely hear other people's conversations. There's a live jazz band playing, so you can really enjoy that. Although it made it slightly hard to hear what other nearby people say to you either, haha. Our server Dawson was a really great one! Very nice, very informative and just has a great vibe that made you feel comfortable to converse with him. We also asked if he could take a picture of us and he went above and beyond with taking our pictures haha. He took the table lamp as our additional "lighting". Such a great service! Dawson also made a few suggestions on food. We ordered the milk bun (so great!), the tiger prawns tostada (omg, my favorite of the night!), braised lamb pasta, pork belly risotto, and roasted broccolini. Everything was really good and really filled us up! We also got the "smokin old fashioned" and "Wake up and repeat" cocktails. It was plenty of food for us so we asked for a check. Dawson asked if we wanted a dessert but we were already full. He asked if it's ok to give us a lil treat for my bday. It was a really nice dessert :). Oh I forgot to mention that they also put a small bday card on the table for me. The prices of food and drinks are on the higher sides, but I feel like it's worth it due to the live music and the vibe. It easily covers the entertainment part. We definitely will go back and recommend this place for anyone who's looking into a nice date night or to celebrate something special. I was informed that Friday has more of a "party vibe" here, although it's still a jazz performance. Sunday feels more laid back :) Overall I'm really pleased by this place. I used to think that I don't care that much about excellent service as long as the food is great, but I was wrong. The excellent hospitality just made the night even better than expected. Thank you for making my bday dinner memorable.

    This place was on my list and we happen to pop in at 5pm but reservations are highly recommended…read more It was a little difficult to find because it's just a door without any signs, but I saw the valet guy pop out so we figured it was the entrance. The usually have a live band after 7pm and the sound in the resturant is amazing. It's like a recording studio. The staff was very friendly! The decor and ambiance was also impressive. Definitely swanky but down to earth vibes. I got the rasberry beret cocktail and it was different but fabulous. Not sure how else to describe it. It was refreshing. We got the tiger prawns and it was presented as a toasta, which had a great flavor and texture. The apple salad was also refreshing and a good portion to share between 2 people. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and my favorite after the tiger prawns was the Dungeness crab pasta. It had uni on top! The uni elevated the dish, and honestly there were a good amount of crab meat in the dish. Overall well balanced and creamy. The 2 of us left full and satisfied. Highly recommend this place for a date night. There's also plenty of street parking when we went but there is also valet for $15.

End of the day, a $68 bill pre-tip for a less than genrous plate of ($16??) guac and 4 very small tacos with no rice or beans included and one draft Modelo is just unacceptable. The tacos were adequate, but unspectacular. 'Filet mignon' tacos were a single unchopped hunk of meat well flavored but so bare and small for 2x $22. The guac was too refrigerated, with not fully ripened avocado that resulted in an overly sweet taste and slightly firm texture that was unpleasant. Chips were also just not very good, and also not as far as I could tell complimentary. Service gets high marks for speed and efficiency, but felt super impersonal. Example, a server asked us how everything was while we were clearly just sitting there, not having tasted any of it waiting for some limes to arrive at the table. Just asked the question without surveying at all, and it was very performative and not genuine. Which is fine. I'm not at all mad at the servers, tough job but worth noting when noting the tip % options on the POS. End of the day I don't know if I'll be back or not. Everybody has an off day. But just about every aspect was less than stellar(draft beer was excellent) especially compared to three previous excellent visits. It's getting harder to justify going out for dinner, and at these prices, I would hope they could do a little better.

Compared to other places to eat/drink in the park, this one was surprisingly good. The bar was themed for Stranger things, they were playing a stranger things soundtrack, and had a Stranger Things pinball machine. The Demogorgon pizza was kind of like a pepperoni Hot Pocket with a croissant crust. Maybe I was really hungry, but I really enjoyed this. Next was the Hellfire Club Pretzel. The pretzel was one of the better pretzels I've ever had. It was soft, warm, and covered with a hot cheetoes style breading. For drinks we tried all the specialty ones. The Surfer Boy was garbage. The Upside Down and the Mind Flayer were both delicious. We went back for Seconds, thirds, and fourths on the drinks. The Mind Flayer was the favorite, it came with dry ice so it bubbled, and had stringy licorice as a garnish. Definitely glad we found this bar, and the times we went practically had no wait. Probably because you have to be 21 and up to use this bar.

    When we walked up to the bar it wasn't terribly busy. The wait in line was decent. We were able to…read morescore a standing table. The food didn't take long to reach us. It was dimly lit and gave off a more outdoor club feel. The only thing that was decent to snack on was the Demogorgon Pizza. It was fluffy like a pastry which really threw me off. I was shocked how delicious it was. I'd definitely recommend that. The Mind Flayer was delicious with very little alcohol. Prices were typical for a theme park. Everything else I didn't find to be worth the splurge.

    I questioned what rating I should give this place as our experience tonight as their were a lot of…read morebad things but there were a couple of good things as well. My friend and I were at Citywalk to watch a movie tonight and had a lot of time to kill and decided to have a snack here. The host was very friendly---he said it was his second day but checked to make sure to find out answers to questions he didn't know. He sat us promptly at the bar. From there, it was a steep decline. It was fairly hot inside as if the AC was broken and made the experience a bit uncomfortable. It took us about 10+ minutes while we were sat before a server even approached us. He told the table behind us that he would be with them in a minute and my friend responded thinking he was talking to us but he wasn't. He didn't even acknowledge us until way later. When he finally came over to us, we inquired about the different prices for the sake and they didn't have the sake we wanted on the menu so I asked for one more minute. He didn't come back for another 10 minutes and then I flagged someone down by raising my hand and he came over and interrupted me trying to order to tell me he would grab my server. Not sure if he was a busser or another server who had his own section and didn't want to help out. Alas, there seems to be a lot of floor staff and only 5 tables occupied at the time of our visit but the service was one of the most atrocious things I've seen in a while. Our server finally showed up again and we ordered our sake and one specialty roll to split: the Terminator. He asked us if we wanted ginger or wasabi to which I responded 'just a lot of wasabi.' The sushi roll came out extremely fast---probably within a 3-5 minutes of us ordering it and while we didn't have full on conversations with the sushi chefs, they were very nice and the reason for the extra stars on this review. I sat there for about 5 minutes unable to eat because I was still waiting for my wasabi. The server never checked up on us. I got the attention of the lovely lady sushi chef and asked for wasabi and she was apologetic and left to go tell the server. The server finally arrived with not just wasabi but a lot of ginger that we already told him we didn't need. The prices are ridiculous for what you get but it's Citywalk so understandable. The sushi roll was expensive at the tune of $23 but it was pretty tasty. If I was just rating the service, this review would have gotten 1/5 stars. Didn't catch a name. He never introduced himself. We asked one of the sushi chefs if they get to keep the tips in their tip jar on top of the bar because we wanted to make sure they got tipped properly and they said they do (just fyi if you want to tip the sushi chefs!). Would I come back? Possibly if I'm there for a movie or Universal. However, if I have to wait more than 5 minutes for a server to even acknowledge my existence once I'm already sat, I feel it best to walk out and head over to Vivo where their service is always on point.
