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. read more

Managers are idiots during this World Cup. We showed up over an hour before game time, sat down, were served food and drinks, and then kicked out because we didn't have a reservation "for the game." Manager tried to get us to throw waitstaff (who were very kind) under the bus, telling us "they should have told you about this policy." Weird, contentious energy, and felt like we as patrons were being blamed for the staff's lack of communication. Won't be going back read more

Hi Lisa, Your response is dismissive and avoids the actual issue. There is no confusion about the location. This was my second visit to General Admission, and I know exactly where I was. We were seated by a member of YOUR staff and explicitly told another server would be coming to take our order. That never happened. We then sat for about 15 minutes with zero acknowledgment while watching other tables be served. It was not a packed or chaotic environment. There were multiple empty tables on the patio and near the bar, so the explanation of a "busy service period" does not align with reality. Your team seated us and then completely ignored us. What's most concerning is that your response immediately defaults to questioning the validity of my experience rather than taking accountability. Whether or not you "have an Anthony" is irrelevant. A staff member set the expectation that someone else would assist us, and no one did. An apology after the fact, paired with explanations that contradict what actually happened, does not resolve anything. The reality is simple: we were seated, ignored, and left without being served. read more

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 :-) read more

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" read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great food the burgers are delicious and the cocktails are so creative! Mai was excellent, I am definitely coming again.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

General Admission - A not grilled, "grilled" peach salad...just no - Beer Bar Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped in after a hike for a snack and was greeted immediately. Our sever was also the bartender, but he was very helpful, brought waters right away and answered all our questions. We loved the atmosphere and it looks like a great place to watch a baseball/ football game with all the big tv's and the wrap around bar. There is also seating outside but you're still in the bar area, it's a perfect set up. We ordered the Peach Salad with chicken, french fries and the tuna bites to share. All were great and arrived quickly after ordering. We will definitely be back for a beer and to watch a game. The reason for the four stars is the menu, we wish there were a few more options. Parking was easy in the back and the decore was fantastic! I loved the restroom doors, the fun "Take a selfie", because we all love a selfie and the washing station. Great design! We definitely recommend a stop here. Cheers! read more

I haven't tried general admission bar on site. I have ordered 5 or more times on DoorDash and the food is always amazing. Trash can nachos is a must for appetizers Melt Mozz sticks another good choice Chips and guac is fresh Diablo burger is spicy beware. The jalapeño that's comes is also spicy. Well prepped juicy patty, with fresh toppings Margarita flat bread pizza is a great pick for a group. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at General Admission. The service was extremely slow and disorganized from the moment we arrived. There were long periods where the staff seemed more focused on talking among themselves than helping customers. It was difficult to get anyone's attention to place orders or ask questions. The biggest issue was how the bar handled the World Cup games. My friend and I were sitting at the bar, ordered food and drinks, and watched the first match. Then, just before the second game started, we were suddenly told that anyone sitting at the bar had to spend a minimum of $75 per person to keep their seat for the second game, regardless of what we had already ordered or spent during the first game. I immediately asked the bartender if we had to pay the $75 right away. She didn't really answer my question and simply walked away. I then asked another employee, who appeared to be a manager, and he explained that we didn't have to pay it immediately--we just had to reach the $75 minimum during the game. I thought, "Okay, that's fine," because the rest of my friends were arriving for the second game. They weren't sitting at the bar, but they were standing with us and ordering drinks. Our group ended up spending well over the combined $150 minimum that was being required for my friend and me. Naturally, I assumed our group's purchases would count, like they would at any normal bar. However, in the middle of the game, the bartender came back and kept telling us that we weren't ordering enough. I explained that our group had already spent well over the required amount, but she told us that none of our friends' orders counted because only the two people physically sitting at the bar had to individually spend $75 each. I had honestly never heard of anything like that before. I was shocked and confused. I even asked, "So one of my friends has to sit in my chair just for their order to count?" The whole situation made absolutely no sense. If that's really how your bar operates, customers should be told before they even sit down. Have someone at the entrance explain the policy or post clear signs so customers know exactly what they're agreeing to before they order food and drinks. Had I known about this policy beforehand, I never would have wasted my time staying at your bar--I simply would have gone somewhere else with my friends. Don't wait until people have already spent hours there, gotten comfortable, and are watching the game to suddenly tell them they have to spend another $75 or leave. It felt misleading and like we were being pressured to keep spending money after we'd already settled in. We eventually decided we didn't want to continue ordering just to reach that amount, so we got up to leave our seats. We made it very clear that we did not agree with being charged. Despite that, we were told they already had our card on file and would charge it anyway. They went ahead and charged both of us $75 each--even after we clearly said we did not agree to it and had gotten up to leave our seats. When we calmly tried to ask questions about the charge, the bartender became extremely rude and started yelling at us in front of other customers. She even came out from behind the bar while continuing to argue in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. There was absolutely no reason for that level of hostility. Even the people I was with commented on how shocking and unprofessional her behavior was. To make matters worse, the hamburger we ordered had paper inside the food. We reported it, but the overall response made us feel like our concerns were not taken seriously. Between the poor service, the bartender's aggressive attitude, the confusing minimum-spend policy for bar seating, being charged after we clearly said we did not agree, and finding paper in our food, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The entire experience felt disorganized, unprofessional, and incredibly frustrating. Instead of enjoying the World Cup with my friends, I spent the game dealing with confusing policies, unnecessary stress, and completely unprofessional, low-class behavior from the bartenders. Completely unbelievable. I won't be returning, and I definitely can't recommend this place. read more

Amazing service and such an aesthetically pleasing restaurant/ bar. Shoutout to Sergio (I'm 99% sure that was his name)! He was attentive and a pleasure to be served by.

Came here with my toddler for some Sunday morning football -- met up with some friends too. General ambiance is lively, plenty of TVs so there's solid view any where you sit. The staff was very attentive, checking in every few minutes to see if we needed drinks or food -- really appreciated that given how busy they were. Loved the huevos rancheros and Irish iced coffee. While the restaurant did have a high chair, I wouldn't consider this place a good place to bring kids. Street parking read more

Found this restaurant through the inKind app and am glad I did. I got here around 4:30pm on Saturday and there was plenty of places to seat yourself (although it got busier around 5ish and they were shifting people seated at large tables to accommodate reservations). The place itself has a really cool vibe and look inside, with good music (pretty loud though) and TVs showing all different sports games. There's also a patio with some outdoor seating. The menu has a variety of different bar food options but more upscale than a typical kitchen + bar, with reasonable prices. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, market fries and a buffalo style chicken caeser wrap to share among 2 people and it was more than enough food, with leftovers. The food was really great and the service was super fast. I paid for an hour on the meter and got back with 25min to spare. There doesn't seem to be a lot of designated parking but there was plenty of cheap street parking. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed everything here! Our waitress; I believe her name was Ariana (?), was super friendly and very attentive of our table. She helped us pick our meals and her recommendations were great! We tried the street market fries and let me tell you they were LOADED. So much meat that was tender and seasoned beautifully. Plenty of sauces and queso that not a single fry was dry. The portion was also very very generous. I can never resist buffalo wings and tried them here with traditional buffalo sauce. Cooked to perfection, they were crispy and juicy. To drink we ordered the sour patch. Refreshing and not overly sweet it was delicious! We opted to add a chamoy and tajin rim and that made it even better. The restaurant itself was very clean and spacious. Seems like the perfect spot to hang with friends and with the amount of tvs also a great spot to watch sports. Highly recommend! read more

Sunday night myself and a group of guys from my Fantasy Football League decided to have our draft here. We were able to sit immediately and was greeted by a server who took our drink orders. I only had a couple beers (which were ice COLD, as they should be) and the others ordered come cocktails that were amazing. I was disappointed in myself for not ordering a couple. We ordered a few plates for the table to share: Wings (Lemon Pepper and Buffalo), Chicken Nachos, and the Honey Pepperoni Pizza. Everything was GREAT! The portions were more than enough to help keep eight members of the league content. They have great drinks, food, service, and multiple TVs to watch all the games. I will most definitely be back. read more

Everything about this place is great, including Mai, she's dope!! Not only was ambiance cool, food was top notch along with the service.

One of my favorite places to watch any sporting event in the city! Great ambiance, friendly service, and great food! The menu has a good range of food options. Ranging from items like lemon pepper wings and mozzarella sticks, to mouth watering burgers and hand made flatbread pizzas, and beignets that will make you question if you should order another one!

My boyfriend had been wanting to try this spot without even knowing anything about it, so we went to watch a game on a day that we know was going to be packed. The host was so welcoming, and did what he could to get us a table and let us know our best options! Drinks were SO GOOD with the perfect amount of alcohol and mixture taste. I got the chicken cesar and it was delicious which makes you think how can a simple salad be so good, and I think it's just how well they make their dressing and cook their chicken. The vibes were there and for sure will be back to try more on the menu. read more

We stopped by General Admission and the vibe was exactly what you'd want from a fun sports bar -- energetic, music bumping, and a great crowd. We ordered the fried chicken sliders and mozzarella sticks, and both seriously hit the spot. The sliders were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly layered with slaw and sauce on soft buns -- super satisfying and easy to share (though you'll want all three for yourself). The mozzarella sticks were massive -- crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and loaded with parmesan and herbs. Paired with ranch and marinara, they were next-level good. Overall, great food, fast service, and a lively atmosphere. Perfect place for a casual night out, watching the game, or grabbing drinks and bites with friends. We'll definitely be back. read more

We came to try out trivia night on Wednesday. There was a big sports game on tv that night, so trivia was pushed back until the game ended. Our food was ok, nothing spectacular. My friend actually tried to order 3 different things that they were out of so she ended up with something she probably settled with. The service was decent. It was a busy night so a few times our waitress was so overwhelmed with tables that it took her a while to get back to us. Not sure we will come back here. read more

I stopped in to catch a game and ended up having such a great time that I'll definitely be back. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance -- energetic but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy your food.

The wings were perfectly crispy, the burger juicy, and the portions generous. The drinks menu was impressive too, with plenty of options that paired really well with game-day bites.Service was smooth and attentive from start to finish. Even though the place was busy, everything ran seamlessly -- our food came quickly, drinks were always topped up, and the team made sure everyone was having a good time.
