Best Whole Foods bar in California. Reminds me of an airport bar in the best way. Efficient service with practiced draft pours. Wish the in-bar menu was better but since it's a Whole Foods there are plenty of food options nearby. Great place to see a game. Nice outdoor seating too! read more

Courtney was the best! We came in for a beer and some wine.. what a lovely and chill place in Burbank... Courtney helped us order a pizza from the Whole Foods pizza counter right at the bar, super convenient. Great place for a lunch or after-work drink. ;) read more

I've had more than one unpleasant experience with a bartender there (a bald guy). He has an issue with people asking for ice water and refuses to accommodate. He also made some rude, passive aggressive comments about some of the customers, loud enough for them to hear. This guy has some problems and takes it out on the clientele. I've been told that numerous customers have complained about him, so it's too bad Whole Foods/Stage 71 hasn't addressed this ongoing problem. It has created a bad environment there and I will not go back! read more

Stopped by shop here often at Whole Foods gave it try inside while foods is Stage 71. Full bar and food. You also can buy from the Whole Foods, food section and eat at Stage 71. Service is good you order at the register and they bring your food to you. They got happy hour daily and couple TVs you can watch the games. Ordered a handroll spicy tuna was ok. Wasn't expecting to be great A for the effort. Pub burger was ok but the patty quality was good. Nachos was the best. read more

Unfortunately, after having a good time shopping and wanting to have a drink, Dan so call "bartender" was pretty rude. No welcome nor couldn't have any courtesy in making you feel welcome. I was tempted to just leave and forget my drink but I did want to try it out and have a whole experience. Drinks and atmosphere was great but how could I've enjoyed knowing how rude I was treated. People complain about non tipper and I'm a non tipper if you don't go above an beyond to make me feel welcome and have a good drink. So no tip for you. I'll be back and see if I can have a better experience next time. read more

I wouldn't so much call it a sports bar as a modern, hipster haven! The music here is fantastic. Not too old, not too new. Easy-going & recognizable tunes that make the perfect accompaniment to lunch or happy hour. They have a respectable tap-list and a small menu of classic cocktails done right. The food menu is also really great. Highly recommend the fish tacos. Chicken wings and cauliflower nachos also look really tasty. The folks behind the bar (David, Manny, Brittany & the lot) are very welcoming and easy-going & the bar manager knows his booze. Hit him up for recommendations on what's behind the bar. I'll be here regularly, I think. read more

Cool little bar right smack in the middle of Burbank inside Whole Foods... they have a variety of beers, wine and drinks. They also have food options (vegetarian and vegan also)from hamburgers to sushi (even vegan). The fries are soooooo freakin mouthwatering delicious oh em gee. Ughh! I had a mojito that was fresh, pretty strong and not too sweet. The mint leaves were fresh also and it was only 170 calories. The crowd seems to be from the studios around the area so they were pretty dressed up. The place was popping for a a Wednesday evening at 6:30. I had a tuna sandwich that I picked up from inside Whole Foods. The sandwich had all of the nutrition facts and ingredients. You gotta love that if your watching your caloric intake. I will come back again! read more

Very good food and over all good selection of beers. Whoever, The first thing they tell you is "YOU ONLY HAVE 30 minutes to eat and drink and after that time either you keep consuming or have to leave the place and they have a security guard marking sure you do it or leave" I hate how they do it specially when you have order already two drinks and a full meal. They come around and say it's been 30 minutes, so no the most welcoming place a round, and if you need the bathroom they don't have any in the area, you have to walk all the way to the back inside the super market. read more

After waiting 10 minutes to order, my bad I should have left. But the burger looked so enticing I ordered at 6:42pm no others were in line so I figured it would be quick 7:20 my burgers arrived - onions all over when we clearly stated and restated no onions. Burger was good but, the service was slow. Two servers when I arrived, moving like sloths, one when the food arrived new server was better, but customer Service is not their priority read more

I love Stage 71 for the daily $12 special. Enjoying a quality meal and a unique, craft beer for under $15 is unheard of in this area. The locals/regulars are friendly, as is the bartender, Marco, who works hard to make your experience pleasant. There are ample TVs to watch sports while you eat inside or outside. There is opportunity for this space to add events to entertain the community and its patrons. I look forward to future visits where I can explore the whole menu and other beverage options. read more

Great place! Who knew you can have a cocktail, or your choice from the various brews on tap, along with a healthy meal from Whole Foods that's located on the premises. read more

Whole Foods Market: the little health-conscious grocery store that could. It's hard to believe that what once started with a single family-funded vegetarian supermarket has now expanded to become synonymous with Big Business and Industry itself, thanks to it's recent acquisition by Amazon. But what I like about the company is that even though it might falter and draw criticism every now and then, it always (eventually) remembers its original goal of serving high-quality sustainably-raised and ethically-acquired foods. It has taken the steps necessary to stay in business after almost 40 years, good or bad, and ultimately leaves the deciding power in the hands of the customers. With that said, if you're a customer of the Burbank location, you can decide to visit a restaurant unique to this store: Stage 71! Yes, a restaurant inside of a store (which is on top of a parking structure, if you're really keeping track). Using an extremely minimal theme, Stage 71 alludes to its nearby studio neighbors (Warner Bros., Universal, and Nickelodeon to name a few) with subtle décor and an industry phrase scattered here or there. But it's a full-service restaurant with large glass walls and a view of the San Fernando Valley, and it's tucked away behind the express checkout lane! But none of that matters. Let's get to the fries! The options for fries at Stage 71 are narrow, so let's hope that they're good! You've got regular fries for $3 and certified Vegan, and you've got sweet potato fries also for $3, but not labeled Vegan. Why? It's unclear, but The Frequent Fryer has seen this situation before. Other restaurants will serve sweet potato spuds with an aioli sauce or with bacon bits, but always as an option. That's not the case here, but the label is still mysterious. Either way, both of these are some of the cheapest things you'll find at Whole Foods. Both fries arrive in undersized frying baskets which are assuredly only for show, but they're piled in plentifully, and I'll tell you right now that this simple order is very filling. Two sides should be shared, and one side is enough for most people. A side note for those who prefer ketchup as their condiment: Stage 71 offers Sir Kensington's brand of gluten-free ketchup, which has the same taste as most over-the-counter ketchups without processed sugar. Also, a main ingredient is green peppers, so don't be surprised by the tingling sensation, because it's a nice change! The regular fries are great! They're cut restaurant-style and long, and the skins are flaky and audibly crunchy. There is very little salt sprinkled on, but the potato's taste is bold and wonderful, if somewhat oily. They taste how fries should taste, even though they don't do anything particularly exciting. The interior remains soft despite the excellent outer frying, and they don't limp out after cooling down. Not what you would have expected from a grocery store food court, huh? The sweet potato fries are also pretty good! There's not as much crunch to them, unless you find a thinly-tapered fry that's been compressed to a sharp edge. The fries are tender as if they've been baked instead of fried, and while they're not as long as the other fries their form stays just as intact. Again, there is some salt, but the mild sweet flavor of these spuds is what will stay with you. They're not sugary either, so you won't feel like you're cheating on your diet. These would actually make a good healthy snack, so keep that in mind while you're shopping in Aisle 5 for that $7 bag of kale chips. Final rating for regular fries: 4/5 Spuds. Final rating for sweet potato fries: 4/5 Spuds. read more

Happy hour review. This small bar/restaurant is tucked away at the entrance of Whole Foods Market. There are several bar stools and tables from which to choose. Bar service is friendly and efficient. They have multiple beers on tap which rotate. The happy hour menu consists of drinks only. No food is discounted. They offer $2 off draft beer and $1 of cocktails from 3-6PM Monday through Friday only. Parking - free garage read more

Hey went here for lunch to try it out but this place is closed "due to staffing shortages" the sign said. Maybe y'all should update your hours.... Hope things get better soon! read more

This is the restaurant/bar located within the newly opened Whole Foods Market. It has a good selection of burgers, sushi, wine, beer on tap and specialty cocktail. We came here to grocery shop and decided to try out the food at Stage 71 before doing our shopping. I tried the handrolls (salmon, california and tuna) and a few pieces of the french fries. They were both delicious! Our food came quickly (you place the order at the left side of the bar and will then be given a buzzer.) When the food is ready, you would pick up the order on the right side of the bar. We will be back!! read more

Located in whole foods Burbank. This is full food and bar. Came here for happy hour and it's a nice place. You can even purchase food at whole foods and come here to eat along with the drinks. Nice environment and great staff. This would be our next go to place. read more

Would enjoy it more if the cocktails weren't so pricey. Man, 13 for for a margarita in essentially the back section of a grocery store. The food is pretty good. Nothing to write home about, nothing to get outraged about. I did enjoy the cauliflower nachos quite a bit. There is a deck which is nice but nothing fancy. My friend loves it because she can find food that is gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Nice bartender. Casual atmosphere. Limited kid menu. And hey you can multitask and grab the milk and sugar you need at home! read more

First things first. The manager at whole foods Burbank needs to have a talk with the staff at this "restaurant" The service here is complete shit. Also this buzzer system should be changed to a numbers system. I'm paying $35 for sushi and expect it to be dropped off at my table. With the exception of sushi everything else on the menu is mediocre at best. Who runs stage 71s kitchen ? is there no quality control? Most of these review are written by employees or friends of employees. Just read them! read more

Yeah. It was OK. If I lived close by our I shopped at Whole Foods all the time this would be my jam. Inside and outside seating. It was a nice place to kill an hour. Certainly not a destination spot. read more

Stopped by on Friday night for a quick Happy Hour drink (seriously one of the best Lemon Drops ever) and decided to try the fish and chips. What a delicious surprise! The fish was cooked perfectly with a nice crunch and the fries were literally perfect. I rarely eat them because fries aren't usually great in restaurants but Stage 71 has made a believer in me. BEST FRIES IN TOWN! Love the vibe there too - really upbeat and fun. The employees all seem to love their jobs. Just a cool place to dine and drink! read more

My husband and I come to Stage 71 for one purpose: the excellent service! Jaime, the bar manager, sets the mood for an amazing experience! She always has a smile on her face and her customer service skills lack for nothing. There is always such a great vibe in there! In fact, all of the employees make us feel at home. We are so glad that we discovered this little gem. read more

Oh, where do I begin? First off, Stage 71 is the ultimate Sunday afternoon relaxation destination. You wanna be sippin' on Rosé whilst consuming a black rice poke bowl? THIS IS THE PLACE. Second, let's appreciate the bartenders. Brittany, Taré, Corey, and Samantha all work with professionalism and warmth. Third, they play a variety of music that matches the casual yet upscale architectural vibe. In case you're the last to know, the grocery store is the new museum. In summary, Stage 71 is a much welcomed hideaway for food and libations. Burbank and the surrounding cities are lucky. Check it out! read more

I was going here 3-4 times per week as it's a convenient location for me, and food/drinks aren't bad. But one day I was all the sudden informed I could no longer bring my adorable, well-behaved poodle puppy with me on the patio. I don't understand the problem! I won't be back. read more

Too bad, great food but the rotating bar tenders there really really sucked.. haven't encountered a good and nice mannered one yet. Whole Foods need to do something about it. The place got great potential.. too bad read more

Very cool bar right outside the new Whole Foods Market in Burbank! Prices are really really fair, it's pretty rare to get a glass of Prosecco Brut or Rosè for just $6 and any other wine glass between $8 and $12. So that is definitely a plus and a good excuse to stop for a wine before or after grocery shopping lol. Came here randomly for a drink with my hubby on our way to Whole Foods, we ended up skipping grocery and just hanging out here. On Friday evening they have a DJ with cool music. Got 2 Moscow mule for $12 each - not cheap but they were awesome and prepared right in front of us immediately when we ordered them. I got a sushi handroll for jus $4.5 and it was super good. My hubby got a cheese burger with French fries - French fries were BOMB!!! Why not 5 stars? We ordered spicy edamame and they were the worst edamame I have ever had which was a bad surprise since the place is super cool and everything else was great. But edamame is a super easy dish to make yet there was not even soy sauce with it they were dry and hard and the spicy powder was very bitter. Still we will for sure come again! read more

They are so slow. It wasn't busy, it took them almost 40 mins for two burgers and then got my order wrong.

Ok so I live 10 mins away from this place, the food is good, this is the place for amazing fresh tacos on Tuesday. There are plenty of flat screens to watch your favorite sport and enjoy many selections of beer as well as great cocktails. Very convenient since your just steps away from some of the freshest great priced groceries with knowledgeable staff to answer any questions you may have. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a great experience.... read more

Happy Hour daily. I only had wine, which is $1 off the price, but I believe the beer on tap is a good deal. I felt comfortable going to this "bar" by myself, as it's part of the new Whole Foods. I was waiting for a friend to get done with work from the studios, so this seemed to be a perfect location. Btw, this market is gorgeous. Plenty of spacious parking below the building and free. The bartender was generous with her pours, (Jennifer?? forgot her name) and the food that I got to go- is decent. The fries never made it to my car as I ate them as I talked philosophy with a new friend at the bar. Wine does that. I would definitely return. read more

Great beer selection, but one of the bartenders ALWAYS serves a drink with his fingers wrapped around the lip of the glass. I've talked to the manager about this, and she said she'd talk to him, but the dude still does it. I don't have him pour for me anymore. If he asks me what I'm drinking, I tell him I'm still deciding, and wait for another server. That's why the 2 stars from me. read more

The Pub Burger is the best burger I've probably ever had. Sooooo juicy. Pretty sure it's grass-fed and all that jazz. The patio is so relaxing with a view of the mountains and studios. Events on Friday nights. Enjoy! read more

I work near Stage 71 and the new Whole Foods and have been coming regularly for lunch and happy hour. The prices are great and the bartender Brittany gives great beer recommendations! Looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

This place is a great place to spend an evening. Jamie and the staff will take care of you. Great wine list, or you can go into the store and grab the bottle of your choosing and drink it in the bar. Cauliflower nachos, and a very good burger. Love this place. read more

This Whole Foods bar food quality is not as good as other locations. The Whole Foods bar in DTLA tastes so much better. I ordered the cauliflower nachos and wings today. Both items were cold when I picked it when the buzzer went off. The cauliflower nachos were soggy and bland and the wings were cold and didn't have flavor either. I ordered both of these items at the DTLA location before. So disappointed. I ended up tossing most of the food away. read more

I was surprised how much I loved this place! Brittany on the bar tending staff gave some awesome recommendations and was super helpful. Def would come again. read more

Food is decent. Service, on the other hand, is lacking greatly. Don't come here if you are rushed and want to order in a timely manner. If you just want to order food and you have a few people in front that want to sample beers, well they will let them sample the beers and no one will jump on the register to help everyone else in line. That process does not make sense to me. The other staff noticed everyone in line and still didn't go out of their way to try to be helpful. Instead they went off to a corner and talked amongst themselves. Not a good impression for a new establishment. read more
