    Fried chicken, side of mashed potatoes, seafood chowder
    Rosa V.

    Girls trip to LA and food is priority ! This location has tons of options, bars, spots to choose from. Decided to try this spot based off of bar, cocktails and food options. Of course it's World Cup so every place has the game going. Few beers and a few cocktails - The paper plane ( - aperol spritz ) refreshing , the cure - better version of a Moscow mule. For food we ordered a variety of dishes, corned beef sandwich, Brussels sprouts, burger, truffle Mac, seafood chowder, fried chicken strips. Every item was good and larger portions enough to share. Fried chicken was lightly breaded and moist. Cute bar, good food, friendly service and over all great experience. Only negative is there is only high bar stools so sorry folks either short legs it's a struggle but worth it !

    I didn't know there was another location till tonight. I've been to the one on Wilshire but compared to the location, this one in Culver City takes the cake. Culver City is smaller but it sure is more lively. We walked by and the name caught my attention but I didn't quite remember how. That's when the Wilshire location came up. They had a good amount of outdoor seating both on the patio, sidewalk as well as the little alleyway. Inside is smaller but decent. We got a seat along the bar as we just wanted a drink. Started a conversation with the bartender which was when I found out that it was the same owner. Both location has the same decors with the tartan wallpaper. Compared to Wilshire, this one seemed more lively and with a way bigger outdoor dining area. It's feels more of a restaurant as the other one feels more of a bar. Also it happened to be dine la which they were also taking part of. We didn't eat but did checked out the menus. Both lunch and dinner offered. For 15.00 you get a choice of half a sandwich with half of soup or salad. For an additional 5.00 a dessert can be added. Dinner, 25.00 for two course meal. Stater choices were soup, salad or buffalo cauliflower. And the main options were, bangers and mash, fish and chips, traditional lamb stew, shepherd pie as well as vegetarian shepherds pies. Also for an additional 5.00 you can get dessert of flourless chocolate cake or house bread pudding. Good option at an affordable rate. After the drink we ended having a reservation elsewhere but ended back here for a nightcap with friends before heading home. The vibe was amazing with the crowd. Service was great, friendly staff and good drinks. This location was excellent. Also prime location closes to other amazing places. Street parking if you could find but loads of parking structures nearby.

    This place was amazing! We came for dinner and got the buffalo cauliflower to start which came recommended by the server. This was phenomenal. It was lightly battered and perfectly delicious. I definitely want to order this again. For the main, we both got the shepherds pie. This was also delicious. Perfectly seasoned and so tasty. I can see why the Irish fare is what they're known for because this was so good. Overall I'll definitely be back because the food was delicious!

    Popped in for a quick drink after dinner and the vibes were good and the drinks were delicious. I had the San Patricio (great) and my friend tried the half + half that they really enjoyed. Will come back again!

    I think I just found my new favorite spot in Culver! First off the vibes were vibing...it has such a cozy and chill atmosphere inside and there's also plenty of outside seating. We chose to sit inside because all about the cozy feels. Our server Sam was the absolute best! I asked for Chardonnay and she named 2 choices but said 1 of them was a house favorite so I went with that one. But then she came back over with a tasting of both! That was so incredibly nice of her. I ended up sticking with the house fav. Okay on to the food! I love that they have a ton of vegan options here. I ordered the bread basket and the bread had a nice char grill on it. Perfection I also order the veggie burger with vegan cheese and it was delish! Oooh and the fries had a nice crunch to them...I'm not a fan of limp fry so these were perfect for me. We found parking on the side street but of course Culver has plenty of garage parking. We will definitely be back!

    We had a nice dinner last night. Service was friendly, could've been more attentive, but the scrumptious food distracted us since everything (excluding dessert) was outstanding: Garlic blossom Seasonal veggies Irish nachos Shepherds pie Seafood chowder Salmon Rushdi The apple pie was cold and thick, served in a piping hot cast iron dish. I bit into a cold apple and was turned off. It tasted like they refrigerated, reheated, refrigerated then served (on super hold cast iron) thinking it would heat the dessert, it didn't. They fell short on this. Aside from that, I recommend this place as they offer many delicious dishes and the ambience is a vibe. P.S- The food tasted even better reheat the next morning, omggg!

    Another favorite DTCC (downtown Culver City) bar/resto. This place always has a lot of interesting characters. One of my favorite things to do is see people on a date and put words in their mouth and pretend that like I'm the other person it's a lot of fun and this place is no lack of characters. The bartenders are amazing very attentive and we actually ate there and the food was very good. I'm always helping around Culver City and I love supporting downtown Culver City businesses. This is one that I really like and will continue to go to.

    Party of 4 on the patio, looking out onto Culver Boulevard at our warmly lit hightop table. The bartender's got the right amount of boisterous and snark, the waitress is full of pep and smile. The lovely lass slinging guitar/vocals out front is perfect for this meal of trad Irish fare we're about to knock down. And it was delicious. What we had: SHEPARD'S PIE (5) - outstanding homeland flavor and seasoning LAMB STEW (4) - rich 'n hearty CAESAR SALAD (5) - delicious dressing and super fresh THE CHICKEN SAND (4) - big time piled with goodness THE BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER (5) - beefy hunks of fresh cauliflower coated in buffalo seasoning that had just enough spicy without overwhelming the flavor. these were my favorite of the night My buds started out with YE OLDE FASHIONED and I had THE BIG FELLA - only needed one to get THAT job done! Outstanding drinks.

    Great ambiance and drinks but wow is the food phenomenal. The sausage roll which I devoured before thinking to take a picture was perfection and this chicken curry is hitting on all cylinders. 10/10

    super cute vibes, great for people watching, aperol spritz soo goood
    Victoria N.

    Great Culver City vibes and perfect for people watching. Loved sitting on the patio with an Aperol spritz -- such a fun neighborhood spot with a relaxed ambiance and friendly service

    The Burger,  House Cut Fries, water, berry mocktail

    Great service. Cool vibes. Option to dine in or outside. The food was pretty good. We ordered " The burger", the steak sandwich, the buffalo wings, sweet potato fries, traditional fries, the berry mocktail. The wings were absolutely delicious and so were the sweet potato fries crispy not limp.

    haha nice!

    Auld Fella's Mission Statement: We're an Irish joint in the heart of Culver City. Since taking residence in fall 2019 we have become the standard bearer for legendary Irish hospitality and friendly service in Los Angeles. We've re-imagined the Irish pub experience for today. While tipping a respectful cap to those that have gone before us, we've created an authenticity loved place that is enjoyed by everyone. We are very proud of our team who operates as a loving family to provide our guests with the best possible experience every time. A home from home but with better food, booze and craic. Background On Visit: Wanted to celebrate St. Patty's day a day earlier. Credit Cards: They're accepted Restroom: They do have restrooms. They're very nice inside. Price Point: Ye betcha. It is a bit pricey. Location/Parking: Located between S. Canfield and Main St.. on Culver Blvd.. Parking can be found in nearby parking structures and meter parking. Ambiance/Decor: Irish pub radiated chill vibes with modern furnishings and neat decor along the walls. The bar looks very nice. They also have outdoor seating. Service: Service was decent. Staffer was friendly and food came out at a decent time. Drink Of Choice: 1) Guiness! Cuz, I'm Irish for a day! Kidding aside, I do like me some guinness when i'm at a bar. Just depends on my mood. 2) Magners Irish Apple Cider. This cider is great also. It's less heavy than the guinness stout. Food Of Choice: 1) Truffle Dubliner Mac Cheese ($16): Originally, I wanted the Irish sausage rolls. They didn't have it even though it was on the menu! I was such a sad lad, but the mac and cheese made up for it. Absolutely yum! 2) Reubenesque ($20) with mash ($5): Sandwich consisted of corned beef, Auld Fella whiskey aioli, coleslaw, and pickle. It also came with au jus. Sandwich was delicious, but don't think it was worth the price tag. Corn beef was tender and all the other ingredients including the bread was quite delightful to eat. Mash potatoes were creamy and so gooood. Wish every place can make it like them. Auld Fella For Thought: Auld (Old) Fella is a breá (Fine) fella! Sláinte! :)

    Stopped in here for a cocktail a few days ago. Loved the vibe, loved the service, loved the drink! I got the Purple Haze, mainly because it had Empress gin and I love a pretty cocktail. It was as delicious as it looked! Great option for drinks in Culver for sure.

Unfortunately the quality of service has drastically declined within the last six months. The bartenders seem to make up their own pricing. I order the same thing every time as does my boyfriend, how is it that when we order our first round it costs 11 for my drink and his is 7, yet later the same evening we order another round and somehow my drink is now 22? This has occurred on many occasions and it's not a happy hour situation. My boyfriend ordered a single shot the other night and handed the bartender a $20, he didn't give my boyfriend his change, just decided to keep it as a tip. Our friend bought a round for us and the bartender decided that no our friend didn't and we did? Getting drinks for one price when paying with cash but getting charged double on my card later in the night, It's insane. It's been happening to many other people that frequent this bar and have been regulars for years. This type of situation has occurred way too often now and it's not only disappointing but it's bad business. Many of us go to this bar multiple days a week, supporting local business is important to us and it feels like our loyalty means nothing. This bar used to be such a fun place, the bartenders (that no longer work here) were friendly and warm and now the vibe is negative. Despite this, other long time regulars and myself find ourselves coming back solely for the cozy atmosphere and friendly patrons, and while we continue to support this pub I cannot fathom how this establishment can continue this way and not expect anything but disdain from the same regulars who have supported the bar for years, decades for some.

It's a really spacious bar and it was totally full during the games, and the energy of the crowd was amazing! Would definitely recommend coming here for sports events.

UCB was also on my schedule to support my comedian friends on stage. Back then, I'd catch a comedy show multiple times a week - and I realized I really miss that part of me. Laughter is sunshine for the soul and it makes me happy to get my daily stress out with some giggles. *** COMEDY x SPORTS BAR *** To keep with the Yelp Elite's 2026 theme of doing more hobbies, I decided to tap into one of mine, which I almost totally forgot about. So when I heard about HOLLY STARR'S OPEN MIC night from one of the guests I met at The LA Breakfast Club last month, I thought I'd check it out. I was in the Culver City area on a random Tuesday and wanted to avoid LA traffic back to the Eastside. *** THE PUB STUFF *** Joxer Daly's is a great sports bar with lots of TVs, a decent-sized stage with seating area, and some fun games in the corner. Every Tuesday at 8pm, that stage is set for LA's comedians who want to try out new material in an intimate setting. There's a ONE DRINK MINIMUM, which isn't hard considering they have a slew of brews on tap, one cider, and a full bar with top shelf choices & well drink specials. There's also bar food to snack on. Since I was drinking Guinness, it also served as my dinner for the night. *** THE DEETS FOR COMEDIANS *** 7:45pm. SIGN UP. The FIRST 10 to sign up, get center stage and all eyeballs focused on them for a dedicated amount of time. What I liked about this crowd is that everyone was really cool and it felt like a community. Some of the comedians were friends, some were stopping by to just test their wit. Some jokes landed, some not so much. Either way, no hecklers in this crowd and everyone put on their big boy/girl pants to show their respect. All the support was genuine. And it was all very inclusive with a he, she, they in the bunch offering diverse POVs and different styles & punchlines. Other highlights: From what I heard, there's always at least one professional, touring comic at the mic. So you never know who may show up. (This is LA of course.) Also, no need to search endlessly for a spot or feed a meter while anxiously checking your watch because there's plenty of FREE STREET PARKING, which is a luxury on the Westside. And laughs are also complimentary. Perhaps one day, I may dare to step up to that mic, but I'll need to excavate my pent up mommy issues or let another decade or pandemic pass. For now, I'll hide behind my laptop and save the stage for the real comedians in LA trying to make it & make me laugh -- even if I am the butt of their jokes.

    There's always a good time had whenever we're in the area. Originally we were was at an event that…read morewasn't far from here but before heading home, a pit stop is needed. Plus it's alway nice to pop in to see friends and of course a meet up spot. This past weekend, the weather was perfect in Santa Monica. It was quite nice to have a table along the patio and perfect for people watching. We were meeting up a friend for a catch up and a meal to end the day with. The staffs are alway so friendly and welcoming each and every time we're here. If you haven't been, it's broken down to a few different areas but all connected. There's the British shop on one comer. If you continue on, you have the restaurant which has two different bars. On the left, that's more of a mellow smaller bar but does get fun. The main bar is on the other end of the building. That's where you get the full bar experience with darts and where all the games are shown. It does get quite busy whenever there's a game on so be advised. There's also an outdoor seating area as well. Then you have the main dining area right when you walk in. There's two main seating area which are both nice. One seems more like the dining room while the other is more of a casual dining area. Regardless, the food will always be the same. As it was Sunday, the roast is alway a good choice. Nothing elaborate but your classic roast. There was beef or lamb available with roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding served with your mixed veggies of cheesy carrots, peas, broccoli and cauliflower with gravy. Vegetarian options also available. Of course you cannot come here and not get fries (chips). Thick cut of goodness. Besides that, there's loads of traditional dishes available. I've had loads and they're all very good. Even if you just pop in for a pint, the place is quite fun. Bar area is fun and pretty lively. The place is quite casual which is nice for a stroll in. Can't leave out afternoon tea which is also offered. A fun time is alway had here each visit. Everyone is so friendly and sweet.

    Alert! The online reservation system is not reliable…read more I made a reservation for online for afternoon tea. I got a confirmation email. When I arrived at the restaurant, they didn't honor the reservation. They said they don't offer the afternoon tea on Sundays

    Went a little past midnight for some drinks. Didn't have all the options available for the weird…read moredrinks my brother ordered, but they made us what they could and it was well balanced and tasted pretty good. Talented bar staff that are able to quickly make an actually good tasting drink while crazy busy. Crowded and loud with live music and people dancing. But good vibes. They had free water up front for the drunk people stumbling out of the bars. I love this. And a hotdog vendor was setup on the street right outside.

    Overall, very disappointed in the experience our group had here. The general feel of the place is…read morecool; that's the best thing that could be said here. Our server greeted at the door and seemed great at first. We had immediate issues when our orders were brought out in a weird order and included items that we didn't realize would be included with it. The entrées themselves were extremely small and not worth the money; that was just including the parts that were actually decent to eat. We had some people on our group that had some food/dietary limitations that were not addressed when we ordered the food/not clearly stated enough on the menu, and when we politely address these to the server, he became very cold and rude. It took ages to get the replacement food out, and the server even tossed one of the plates onto the table and some of the food fell off of it and he did nothing to fix it. I have rarely seen experience as unprofessional and outright hostile before in an establishment like this, and to say that I was shocked with the severe understatement. To summarize: this was not a good experience whatsoever and none of us will be returning here again.

    Yes - we loved this place. The vibe on a Friday at about 5.30pm was warm and welcoming, there was a…read moreTV showing silently a baseball game, but everywhere there was a buzz of friends jibber jabbering and having fun in groups inside and outside m, at tables and at the bar. A few Irish accents completed the mood. Our server (who was very busy) was another highlight of fun and great service. NOTE the service is crazy quick. So if you want to order drinks and appetizer as we did - don't order your mains at the same time!! Wait until you have enjoyed your appetizers and then order your mains!! The food (especially the fried chicken appetizers with whisky aioli) was good. The cod and chips was acceptable but (having just returned from the UK) we would pick something else next time. Also parking is tough to find - BUT allow me to suggest about 0.2 miles down the street there is a large multi level shopping complex with stores like Fat Burger and Total Wine and many more - LOTS of parking - and it is free!!!

    Oh, what a "hidden spot" we found while waiting for passports today. We decided to grab a bite, and…read moreI honestly think this is the coolest bar I have been to in all of Los Angeles. Between the service, ambiance, and food, you really have to see it for yourself. My dad had the lamb stew, which tasted just like how we make it at home. I would give this place 200 stars if I could.

The food is your typical bar food, consisting of burgers, wings and salads, nothing special. We ordered: "Southwest Chicken Caesar salad". It was Kale tossed in supposedly Sriracha caesar dressing, pico de gallo on the side, grilled diced chicken & tortilla strips. The salad was overall salty with tiny bits and pieces of chicken. The RRRRAWDY Burger was enjoyed by my friend and the whole wings with drums included were tossed in a very mild buffalo sauce, so they were just ok.

Ordering is a breeze with the QR code system, and we lucked out by arriving during happy hour (Monday-Friday, 2-6 PM). Great deals on both food and drinks made it even better. I had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with a wagyu patty and a soft, fluffy bun. At first, I missed the usual lettuce and tomato, but honestly ended up loving it just the way it came--I'd definitely order it again, especially at just $10. The happy hour fries were a standout too: crispy, well-seasoned, and a solid value. They've also got solid pizzas, a good beer lineup, and a surprisingly nice wine list. Whether you're in the mood for burgers, pizza, or just drinks with friends, this place hits the mark.
