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! read more

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 ! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! :) read more

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. read more

I came during lunch. It took a bit for the server to recognize me, but the food came out fast once they put in my order. The place is really cute. It's really chill. I ordered the Shepard's pie. It was really hearty. It felt like a home cooked meal. Not something my folks would cook, but something somebody else would cook. read more

We tried to get late night snacks because their menu states it's served until midnight on Saturday. The bartender said they stopped at 11pm. Owner has had an attitude on multiple occasions too, but we've always ignored that and returned. I think as a local, we can say we're finally done with this place. read more

What a deal their Dine LA offer was! You got an appetizer and main course for $25! I got the buffalo cauliflower (which was more sweet and different that what I've had other places) and the shepherds pie. Such generous portions I brought more than half home! The staff was super attentive. To drink, not part of Dine LA, I got an espresso martini which was delicious. SO good on a warm evening. read more

Bottom -line : you can probably get a more cost-efficient meal at just about any other Irish bar . These prices are truly outrageous. Came here to watch dodgers game with my friend. The sole reason this review is a 3/5 is the clientele seems to be more entertainment -minded and I enjoyed the conversations and ambience . The truffle Mac 'n cheese was actually pretty good. Upon first glance, it looked like the noodles were a bit over cooked, but it wasn't that bad. The truffle while sharp wasn't so over dominating . It was tasty. I unfortunately got the corn beef and cabbage. Everything was decent with the exception of the corned beef! Look at the portion size of the meat you receive. For $29 I got like 4 small slices of beef. That is a ripoff. The meat was chewy too. Not good. read more

We ended up at The Auld Fella after finding out the wait at Public School (the bar a block away) was way too long. The beer here was good and definitely the best part of the experience. The food was okay -- acceptable but nothing memorable. Unfortunately, the service was not good at all. Our host was not welcoming and came off as unfriendly, which really took away from the visit. I won't name names, but hopefully this feedback is seen and taken as a chance to improve how guests are treated. With better service, this place could be much more enjoyable. read more

Irish pub with cozy seating. Came here for dinner with a friend on a Monday evening and were able to easily grab a table. I ordered the mushroom melt and fries (note that fries are extra) and she got a burger. The food came out piping out and was tasty. Service was friendly and we were able to have a nice catch up conversation. When we left, there was someone setting up for live music. Credit cards accepted and there's parking garages nearby. Overall, a chill spot to hang out with a friend or two (though on weekends/when there's live music, that'll be a different story). read more

They make it look so easy. In your heart, you know it isn't. But everyone there from the bartender to the server and bus boy is just warm, welcoming, and lovely. That's really not a thing you find any longer, but here, it's a thing. The vibe is like you're hanging out at a really cool friend's place. We sat outside and listened to a fantastic guitar duo. The inside is cozy, and the music isn't so loud that you can't have a conversation. It's the perfect place for comfort. Speaking of comfort, the food hits the spot. Everything we had tasted great. We ordered several appetizers to share. More than generous servings, and it didn't all taste like it came from Sysco. My favorites were spicy buffalo cauliflower (even if you're not a vegetarian, get this), and the loaded baked potato, which could have come with more butter and sour cream, but that was easily fixed. Oh, the mac and cheese was a hit too. My friend picked this place for a casual dinenr, and I told her she hit the spot and we should put it on our regular rotation. So if you go, maybe you'll see me there. read more

Not a bad place at all. Nice friendly service, good drinks, good atmosphere in and outside, very pleasant. Only nitpicks: - they had a live guitar musician but he was micced up and it was way loud. No need for the speakers in my opinion. - the AC condensation drips from the ceiling if you're standing in the wrong place. read more

Always lively even on weekdays and super dog-friendly. People come for the beer, but the wagyu steak is the real sleeper hit. Outdoor heaters make it perfect on chilly days. read more

Fun spot I got to check out with friends... and get smashed at. I believe we only had beer so there's not much to rate on. I definitely would love to try their food at some point. We stared at some of the food options that came out to other tables. Will definitely be back! read more

The cheese fries here are amazing. Shepherd pie is average. Burger above average. I think for an Irish pub is pretty good considering there aren't that many around. I think if I was wasted, the Shepherd pie probably would be better! Still I would come back for the appetizer. I have a feeling that's where they shine considering what other people were ordering. It looked good from afar. read more

Visited around 1pm with five adults and one infant. The menu states a 20% gratuity for parties of six, but counting an infant toward the headcount felt inappropriate, especially with no infant accommodations offered and the bar being otherwise empty. The gratuity amount wasn't the issue -- the lack of judgment and flexibility was. read more

Hands down one of the most unforgettable meals my husband and I have ever had--Auld Fella's is a culinary gem that stirs the soul. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we could feel the love, craftsmanship, and care poured into every detail--both in the space and on the plate. Elaine, our incredible server, made our experience even more special. Warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, she guided us through the menu and recommended two absolute showstoppers: the New York Strip and the Rubenesque. Her suggestions were spot on--and that was just the beginning. We started with the seafood chowder, fried mushrooms, and sausage rolls--each bite better than the last. Everything tasted homemade, elevated, and indulgent. Even the vegetables that came with the steak were bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared--yes, even the veggies were unforgettable! And then... dessert. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding and the bread pudding with custard and vanilla ice cream, and I swear--I've been dreaming of them ever since. I had always wanted to try sticky toffee pudding, and now I'm ruined for life because THIS was the gold standard. Soft, warm, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious--it was pure magic. Every course left us speechless. This wasn't just dinner--it was an experience. An indulgence. A memory. Auld Fella's is worth every single penny. If you're wondering whether to go, this is your sign. Go. Savor. Indulge. Fall in love with food all over again. You're not just having a meal--you're being fed with heart. Don't miss out. read more

Whether you're coming for a solo drink, a date night, or a girls' night out, this place has a great atmosphere. My girlfriends and I stopped by The Auld Fella before an event at a local bookstore in Culver City, and we had a great experience! Our waitress, Elaine, was friendly and helpful. I was happy to see non-alcoholic drinks on the menu, and Elaine recommended one that wasn't too sweet-- the Very Berry Mocktail. While other bars/restaurants sometimes make the cocktails too sweet for my taste, this is just right. We ordered from the happy hour menu and tried the chicken strips, mac & cheese, and buffalo cauliflower. Everything was tasty and well-prepared. I'm from Santa Monica, and this was my first time experiencing downtown Culver City at night. The area has a great vibe and plenty of restaurants and spots to explore. I'll be back! A few options for parking: Metered parking Street parking and pay at the pay machine Trader Joe's parking The hotel across the street has underground parking. read more

Went with a large group of 13 and they were able to accommodate us very well. We sat outside under the heat lamps. I had the fish and chips that were battered perfectly -light and crisp- and the fries were good -not fried in peanut oil. Others in my group had the shepherd's pie-well seasoned and perfectly cooked-though the top of the potatoes could have been slightly more crispy- the brussel sprouts -well seasoned and cooked with the right touch of crisp and braise- and the chicken curry-tender, flavorful and with well steamed rice. Great job accommodating us on a busy Saturday night. The one critique is that we could of had more refills of water all around. Thanks for the authentic Irish fare!! read more

T'was a roach in thee water closet but it happens ‍ Everything else was great. Good food. Drinks came fast.

Good server but issues with kitchen. Came here with a friend to try something new. Was seated fairly quickly. Ambiance was nice. Plenty of heaters for you're comfort. I put an order in for irish sausage rolls, the bird, lamb stew, and tomato soup. First negative: All the food was brought out very fast, at the same time and was piping hot. (The Chef Ramsey in me wanted to check the kitchens for microwaves) Food: The Bird (blackened buttermilk fried chicken) was tasty Tomato soup and irish sausage rolls were very average Lamb Stew. Very disappointing Drinks: Good. i dont recall what i ordered but i think it's safe to say they do drinks well. Service: Our server was GREAT. She noticed the disappointment with the lamb stew and had it removed from the bill without me ever bringing it up. Overall: Maybe i caught them during a bad time, but I don't recommend comming here to eat but stop by if you are looking for some drinks and friendly service. read more
