Had a great time with the gang here! Great sangria and ambiance. I'd skip the banana pudding though, it's mostly just whipped cream. Early on a Saturday night around 8 it filled but nothing un manageable or where you couldn't find a seat read more

The way they make there laurel spritz....is godly. I've never experienced a Serivce like this before as they have you order at the bar and take a table number with you. There is no table waiter, all beverage is through bar too and water jugs are provided for people to enjoy. I personally like this idea, helps us stop water waste. Food was good, nothing to write home about. Ambiance was delightful, the decor is so up lifting and light I wish more restaurants had this in mind when designing. The floor manager however was great, I didn't catch his name but he was very hospitable. Bartender was great, every person was greeted with a smile, so definitely not your traditional annoyed bartender making loads of drinks for diners. Can't wait to be back at Laurel Tavern!!! read more

Good place for HH. Had the steak and fries and two drinks at the bar. Great service. Good deals for HH on drinks and food. Love their mezcal drink with cucumber. Will definitely be back as I can easily stop by after doing errands around the area. Check out my pics. Trust!! read more

Happy hour on a Tuesday is filled with older people inside and middle aged folks and their small children outside. And yet! It's still a rather romantic place with some of the best food you'll ever have. The service is outstanding, the drinks exceptional, and the garlic fries out of this world. The patio during magic hour makes it magical indeed. read more

Pass by this place regularly and figured why not support them during their re-opening in the mist of covid. The outdoor ambience was perfect. Great seating with ample distance. The string lights reminded me of my backyard which I love!!! My husband and I ended up sharing an appetizer and entree. We ordered the bacon Brussels sprouts which were absolutely delicious!! They were sweet and full of flavor. Tbh, it was my favorite part of the meal! :p Their jalapeño burger was so meaty we thought it was double patty to later realize it was just a thick patty!!:D I'm not a fan of spicy, but their jalapeños were definitely de flamed which made the burger that much better. The garlic Parmesan fries were full of flavor and added an extra kick to the meal. Our drinks were amazing and I loved my " el chapo" cocktail. The cucumber made it refreshing and the salted rim reminded me of a margarita. My husband's drink was subtle yet strong. I was definitely tipsy going home. Highly recommend to locals and everyone visiting the area! :D read more

My boyfriend and I lived a few minutes away and I'm not sure why it took us so long to try this place. Parking can be a little difficult since the restaurant is right off a busy street. The place has a casual vibe, but offer tasty treats. We tried the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Tender Kale salad, and the Pork Belly Skewers. The skewers were so flavorful and drenched in some type of honey teriyaki sauce. Great place if you want to grab great food and casual drinks. read more

Chicken salad is yum, so are their burgers! Love the little patio they have. Great place to hang out and chat

Cool vibe for a dinner and drinks with friends. Love the look of this establishment Their cheese and charcuterie board are always fire Their chicken sandwich is amazing and really the reason I come here. Their wait times can be a bit lengthy which is why I knocked off a star read more

great for delivery. good French Dip and Burgers. so bummed no longer selling the pretzel. that was the best! loved that! please put back on the menu! thanks! read more

LOVED this place! I ordered a new fashion, and it was amazing! Good vibes, great food, and even though it was crowded, didn't feel that way.

On top of this place being just so annoyingly hectic, my husband had the burger here Friday night and got intense food poisoning. We are locals but we won't be going here again. read more

Super chill outdoor patio seating area to the side. When we first arrived, we were ready to sit inside, but then we saw there was an outside and were so glad we moved out there because it was just bright and nice. You order inside at the bar though - food and drinks, and then you get a number to put wherever you are sitting. I got the grilled steak salad and my husband got the jalapeno burger. Our friends got the chicken sandwich and also the jalapeno burger as well. We all shared the charcuterie board and the ceviche, which both were good and nice to have. We were all pretty happy with our food. The steak salad was so flavorful and filling. The jalapeno burgers were so juicy and was cooked perfectly. Although I was happy with my steak salad, the bite of the burger really made me want more lol The chicken sandwich according to my friend was good, but she would've preferred the jalapeno burger. Drinks were super good and refreshing, made super well. read more

Amazing outside ambiance , very friendly staff and tasty food with decent price . Only thing , I tried the michelada and was not up to their standard , just ok read more

Food has been tasty every time. Friendly staff. Nice sizable outdoor area. One of the better pubs around. If you want table service, then you might be better off going to a table-service restaurant. read more

My friend and I came here after a long day of work and we were hungry. We stopped by inside and realized it's a bit loud, which we should have known since it's a bar, and we would have sat outside had it not been so hot. We ordered the food at the bar and were served relatively quickly. FRIED CHICKEN SALAD (4/5): Pretty tasty. The quality of chicken was a lot better than other places I've had it so I'll give them that. I appreciated the quality of the salad, but it was a bit too much with the dressing. Overall, not bad at all. BRUSSELS SPROUTS (4/5): souses with vinaigrette and topped with Parmesan. One of the better ones I've had! PARKING Annoying to find, but I parked a few blocks down read more

Went there for a drink, I really like the vibe and they really take their time making their cocktails, which I really love. They serve food as well and they have an indoor and outdoor option. Great late night spot to grab a drink. read more

Finally reopened outdoor dining! They offer an outdoor beer garden type of setting with awesome string lights throughout the bar! Customer service was exceptional offering many recommendations from their food menu and drink menu as well! They have many beers on draft as well as many cocktails to choose from. I ordered from the appetizer menu since it was happy hour. I got myself a fish taco which to be honest was really bland and not worth the price you pay, but however the ceviche they offered was delicious and very citrusy. Parking is okay they unfortunately do not offer parking at the moment due to their outdoor seating. You would have to find parking on the street with meters or around the neighborhood where it's free and it's a bit of walk. Overall not too bad of an experience. If you're around the corner would definitely come and check it out! read more

I love me the laurel tavern. Now that partner and I eat out w/ a toddler, we can order at the bar, eat in a beautiful area outside, and gtfo when little dude gets crazy. I get great cocktails, partner gets great burgers, and little dude gets great chicken strips/tacos/fries/fruit/etc. the place is so good that I want you to forget this good review so the place remains only moderately populated. read more

Laurel Tavern - Ppl r line-up for orders - New American Near Me - Studio City, California

This is one of my favorite dog-friendly places in the valley! Great food (especially the pork belly sliders) and a wide variety of beer and spirits. The staff is always friendly and attentive and the food never disappoints. The outside patio has lovely ambiance and while it can get a little loud (I mean, it IS a tavern), it's always a fun time. It's a favorite of visitors and locals alike! read more

Had an early drinks with two friends here and we all enjoyed our time and our food. They have a fantastic and large outdoor seating area that is shaded, with huge picnic tables. You order your food and drinks at the bar, and they bring everything out to you. Service was very quick, and the food was good. I personally had a margarita and fried chicken salad, and my friends got Laurel burgers. For the table we split a kale caesar, chicken sliders and fries - we tried both the regular fries and the garlic parm, and all of us agreed the regular fries were better in this case (the garlic parm was a bit sweet?). This was just a very nice, relaxed atmosphere, and the prices are decent. There is metered street parking as well as valet parking less than 50 feet east of the restaurant. Would absolutely do drinks here again! read more

PROS: - The fried chicken sandwich is probably of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The cole slaw is so good! - Great selection of beers - Fries are pretty good (but who could ruin fries??) - Seating has been very easy each time I've come here - Employees are always so polite - Great for lunch (but not for a quick bite) - Get a menu, grab a table, order at the bar - In general, the restaurant looks cool - Next to Trader Joes! CONS: - Parking is either valet for $6 or street parking (good luck during the lunchtime rush hour) - Service is a bit slow - Little bit pricey - Can be around traffic read more

Loud and very noisy. Poor food. Pricey. Very disappointing. I would definitely not go there again.

This is hands down one of the best bars in the valley. I was able to easily reserve some tables for my birthday, and the staff went above and beyond. The menu is incredible (my friends and I are huge fans of the fried chicken sandwich and brussels sprouts). Definitely recommend if you're looking for a casual hang or a fun date night spot. It's a great place to grab a casual lunch as well. Cannot recommend it enough. Thank you to Jonny and the whole LT team! read more

Very hipster and great small eats. Great bar and excellent service on the blvd! They have the best espresso martinis

We came here on a Saturday night because of all the rave reviews. For some weird reason my food was bland. I had the fish tacos and the tortillas tasted stale noooo thanks... The drinks were good and strong. Great vibes tho! They have valet parking cause you know how Ventura gets. Not sure if I will be back... read more

Laurel Tavern - Alfie said these are the best martinis he has had in a while!! - New American Near Me - Studio City, California

Stale nasty food. No one bothered to pick up the phone, they must be busy finding yesterdays leftovers to serve.

First time coming by and overall it's a really cool place and the food looks so good. I didn't get any food or house drinks this time because we had just come from dinner and I did not want to drink much, so I just went with a jack and coke that was $10 even. The ambience is cool, good amount of seating and a rustic feel. My only complaint would be the music. This place is super loud and we really don't need random music blaring over our heads while people try to have a conversation. This isn't a club, and every single person was here to chat and hang out. Nobody was listening to the music and it made the place louder than it needs to be. read more

I've been coming here for years. Even before it was Laurel Tavern. Great burgers. Great bartenders. Always friendly. I've seen some folks get annoyed cuz you have to order at the bar. You just have to have patience when it's a bit busy. It's worth the wait. As a bonus, they have one of the best outdoor seating areas in LA. There's also an outdoor bar for simple drinks. Great for large and small gatherings. You can make reservations for 6 or more people. I don't think their fries are a bit too salty so if you order them, ask them to go easy on the flavor seasoning. read more

I had a good time here. The service was good despite it being really busy. The food was tasty although the chicken wings didn't sit well with me when I got home. Parking wasn't too bad in the area which was nice. read more

I would give it 3 1/2 stars. The food was good and didn't feel rushed to leave our outdoor picnic table. Ordering food is more of a challenge. If the bar is busy, you can be passed over for food order. Feels like there should be a designated person or place at the bar for food. Be careful to ask if there is an extra charge for side orders, like fries, as we weren't told that upfront. There were 3 of us in our group and we didn't all order fries but we all got fries and all were charged extra. read more

Spicy Pineapple Margarita to start things off . Tequila , mezcal , pineapple, lime and agave . Mixed and poured just right . Crispy Chicken Sandwich - all white breast in crispy batter , honey mustard slaw(I can't handle spicy and this slaw had no kick to it ) and crunchy dill pickles. Great ambiance and set up. Loved the beer and cocktail options . Def returning. read more
