The Liberties DTLA - Irish Pub Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Liberties is the go to in Downtown, Casey's and Dublins are nothing compared to this place. A proper pint of Guinness every time. Great food. Great drinks. If you're legendary enough you can get on the walk. I can't recommend the place enough. If you enjoy the feeling of Europe this is the place to be. And cheap drinks! read more

We've been coming here since its Plan Check days and stayed loyal after it became Liberties. It's consistently been a great spot, strong drinks, a solid beer and liquor selection, and food that always delivers (the burgers, fries, and pizza are all standouts). The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of things, which is a big reason we've kept coming back. Over time, we've even met some of the owners, and the place has always felt welcoming and well-run, even through ownership changes. That's why this last visit stood out and not in a good way. The bar was packed for the basketball games, and the staff was clearly hustling. Honestly, they could've used more support behind the bar for a crowd like that. Instead, one of the partners seemed to take on the role of... social host. He made sure people knew who he was, but didn't actually step in to help where it mattered. We've seen other partners jump behind the bar or run food when things get busy, so the contrast here was hard to miss. At times, it felt less like leadership and more like a running announcement tour. Meanwhile, the team that was actually working kept pushing through a packed house. The vibe took another hit with the TVs. With so many screens already locked on basketball, it didn't seem like a big ask to change just one on baseball. One of the bartenders even put it on, but a few minutes later, after a guest played into Mr. Big Shot's ego, he went and changed it right back. Just unnecessary, and honestly felt a little performative. We still like this place and really appreciate the staff who show up and do the work. But that interaction definitely left a different impression than what we've come to expect here. read more

Came here for a quick drink with friends after a play and it wasn't packed so we were able to get seated by the bar very quickly and was able to order at the bar with no crowd. They had pizza that hit the spot. The parking in this area isn't great but if you happen to be around this area I would recommend popping in. We went on a Friday night and it was very chill vibes. read more

Nice spot with good drinks and a lively crowd. Great to walk to if you get downtown early for a show at the Terragram. Glad we found it!

Decently located on the west of downtown LA. Small location, but it does fill up. Bartenders are extremely nice and welcoming. The menu sounds and looks promising, but unfortunately the food does not live up to the standards. It is extremely greasy and tastes like frozen food I can reheat in the oven/microwave. The fries were very bland along with the cauliflower bites I ordered. However, the drinks were decent. They have a solid selection of drinks and beer. Overall the vibe is what really carries the place. I recommend you go with friends and maybe grab a bite before going to Liberties. read more

Cool bar with a great happy hour. Inside is spacious and stylish. Plenty of seating with tables and a few booths. There's also a small front patio area. TVs over the bar to watch a game. Came in for happy hour with a friend. Highlights are the $7 beers, $10 cocktails, and food specials. We got the pizza and wings and they were good! Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street meter parking but you might have to walk a block or two. It's also a 10min walk from the metro. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite before a show nearby. We were fortunate enough to show up right at happy hour. Service from the bar was fast and friendly. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I got the pepperoni pizza. Zero regrets. We didn't stick around long enough to experience a bunch but the lively atmosphere, great service, and delicious food make for an easy 5 star experience. read more

We stopped in for a beer and some food on a Saturday afternoon. It was one of the best Guinness pours I've had in the US. The wings were great with plenty of sauce (Thai chili) and the pepperoni pizza was also very good. The service was great even though it got very busy really quickly after opening for a televised soccer match. read more

Want a frozen Irish coffee? Come here. The food is also quite good. I got the corned beef tacos, a fusion of Mexican and Irish food. My friend got a fancy salad. If you have a friend who doesn't want typical bar food, that salad was excellent read more

I love this place. I've been to LA twice in the past year and each time I've gone here for some great food and a magic pint of Arthur's finest, aka Guinness. There's a fantastic selection of Irish whiskey that will make Irish whiskey lovers smile, and reach for their wallet. The pint is close to perfect. 4.75 out of 5 on my scale with the cream sticking to the side of the glass all the way to the bottom. Food wise I LOVE a great Lamb Burger and the one at the Liberties ticks all the boxes. Their pizza choices run the gamut with lots of great options. I always have the Lamb Burger but I saw lots of pizza leaving the kitchen on both of my visits. And last but not least make sure you connect with Ray, the owner, he's a top bloke, who embodies all that is great about Irish hospitality and our Cead Mile Fáilte. read more

In town to see a show at the Teragram Ballroom and Yelp said this was a safe bet. Now I can say that this is a very safe bet. A mere 4 minute walk away and close to both free street parking and paid lots, this is a great location and they serve up some decent pizza and pub food to go with both traditional Irish Whiskey and anything else you crave. Big screen tv's to watch the game with your canned EDM music in the background. No waiter service as its all order at the bar stuff. read more

Started my evening here for some drinks with the boyf and the service was great. Loved that they do happy hours on weekend -- the reason we ended up coming here while in town. We started with the frozen Irish coffee which was creamy, sweet and so strong. And I got a couple nitro espresso martinis which unfortunately weren't on the happy hour menu but were great. The happy hour menu was somewhat limited for drinks, as there was only like two beers and two cocktails that were available which was kind of a bummer, but the drinks are good. The servers were very kind and you order at the bar so there's no table service. I loved the more open concept of the bar as well. There wasn't a ton of seating as it was mainly larger party tables, but luckily we got there early enough to get a table. Overall a great experience and excited to come back again! read more

Super chill Irish bar on a Friday night. Never had fried pickles before so I had to try them! Pretty good and even came with some surprise fried jalapeños and aioli sauce. Service is great! Drinks came out quickly and were good. Plus bartenders are nice. read more

They got a pizza oven and it makes delicious pizzas! Come by often cause they're just next door and it's an easy place to grab a bite before heading home, so was very excited they finally added pizzas on the menu. Head straight to the bar to place orders and then grab a number and a seat. Service is still friendly, but it's not always the fastest food, so plan accordingly. read more

What a great find! Met some friends here on their suggestion. Sizable space - good location just West of downtown LA. Easily accessible by freeway. Employees are friendly and welcoming. Started with a draught Guinness, poured flawlessly. Ordered the Vampire Killer Burger with fries. Soooo good!! This is a lamb burger with garlic and jalapeños. Had mine med rare. Nice kick!! Other drinks were a Rum Old Fashioned (unique! First time), and finished with an Irish Coffee - best I've had! Wonderfully creamy top with nutmeg sprinkled! Also just a couple miles to Dodger Stadium and a mile to places like Staples Center. So if you're attending an event it's easy to eat here beforehand. read more

Wanted something super close to the bellwether for some pre drinks and a bite. Called the day before for a reservation. Showed up a bit before 5 and it wasn't busy at all. The table that was picked out for us was perfect! Ordered the hibiscus Paloma , it was delicious and the presentation was eye candy as well. Got a good buzz. Ordered the chicken sandwich and fries with a side of garlic aioli, delicious! We were there for 2 hours and you can tell this place gets packed the later it gets. You can tell the place has its regulars. The men tending bar were great ! The place is super clean. It's super close to the freeway. Would totally go back if I'm in the area again. read more

I walked here from the 7th Street/Metro Center station for a social. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken wings $13 according to their happy hour pricing ($15 otherwise). We sat in the patio, which had a spacious area and long table. I appreciated that they had a separate spot where you could get a water cup and refill it on demand. To order your food, you go up to the bartender, and you can pay up front to close your tab. I appreciated the bartender's friendly and welcoming attitude when I ordered. The lemon pepper wings tasted really savory with a seasoning that reminded me of Cajun flavors. This matched well with the lemony taste to create a great blend. They also provided me a good amount of wings that made me allowed me to share a few. Although I only reviewed the wings, the burger and fries dishes also looked great and sell at almost the same price as what I ordered. This may make ordering a burger dish more cost-effective. read more

Liberties deserves more than 5 starss We were craving some juicy hamburgers and came upon this place. Wasn't sure what to expect because it was our first time, and seemed like a regular bar spot but Liberties exceeded in alll aspects. First off, the drinks were phenomenal. We ordered the irish coffee frozen and cold, and even got to try the hot version thanks to the owner (i think his name was ray), speaking of, he was so nice and welcoming. We could really tell he was passionate and loved his work. It really made our experience another level. Now on to the food, we ordered the Liberties hamburger and diavola pizza. Hamburger patty was sooo thiccc and juicy, cooked perfectly to medium rare as requested and the fries that came with it were very crispy. Pizza was flavorful from toppings to dough, I usually don't finish my crusts but we killed the entire thing. Their happy hour menu has great options and we even learned that they have trivia nights on wednesdays! We're so happy to have found a hidden gem in Los Angeles and will definitely be coming back again (and again) to try everything else on their menu!! :) read more

I was visiting a couple of my friends who lived in a nearby apartment to The Liberties of Dublin. They frequented Liberties and suggested we go there for dinner. Huge plus that it was walking distance from their place. It was 7:30pm on a Tuesday evening when we stopped by Liberties. I thought it was a really nice modern pub. It had cool lighting, cozy booths, and classic 50s Motown playing in the background. Seemed like a great place to hang out. Service was totally fine. We didn't interact with the wait staff much, but we had a friendly server. Drinks and food came out rather quickly. I found their Irish coffees in 3 ways a unique offering. You can get the Irish Coffee hot, frozen, or like an iced cold brew. I opted to get the frozen version, because it reminded me of Erin Rose in New Orleans where I had my first ever frozen Irish Coffee. Liberties' was good but way more boozy than I expected. Not complaining, just saying. The frozen version came out thick like a chocolate shake. I got the chicken wings lemon pepper with a side of blue cheese. The wings were perfectly fried and full of flavor. I did find them to be on the saltier side though, so the blue cheese definitely helped. I tried my friend's burger and fries, which were awesome. Their fries were excellent. Golden brown and crispy on the outside. The burger was wagyu blended and had such a juicy texture. The sharpness of the white cheddar and tang from the mustard sauce gave the burger a unique taste. I would certainly get this dish for myself next time. read more

5/5 bar/restaurant near my apartment! My go to place for whenever we have big sporting events playing on tv (mma/baseball/basketball). Made some great memories here already. Every one of the workers are chill and the beer/food is great as always! The place is like any other bar in downtown. They have great seats and a few TVs that you can watch any major sporting event that occurs in Los Angeles. ID required upon entering so make sure you have your ID. Definitely will be back during any major sporting event or if I just wanna grab a beer after work. parking is street parking. read more

Loved this place!! The vibes are so chill and they had two djs playing house and edm music.

After being at a cheer competition we found this spot around the corner. Unfortunately, I was so hungry by the time we got here I forgot to take pictures. But the location was pretty easy to find. There was a good amount of parking around the area, though most on the street and for a cost. Bartender was friendly and attentive, and made sure we got our food quickly. Everything tasted fresh and vibrant. Even had happy hour during the weekend. Plenty of seating for large or small groups. Very clean and comfortable to hang out. read more

Wanted to order takeout food from them on a Friday night: The Yelp order didn't work ("Sorry, this business is either closed or not taking online orders right now."). Their phone didn't work either, got an error message in a robotic tone. Then I got a text, "Hi this is The Liberties of Dublin Restaurant, I saw that we just missed your call how can I help?" I said I'd like to put in a takeout order. Never heard back. read more

The Liberties of Dublin took over the space that Plancheck used to occupy. So that was our happy spot before they closed. So of course, my co-workers and I were excited to hear another place was going to take it over. Since they have opened, it's quickly become our spot to go for happy hours and after work hang outs. For happy hour, you place your order at the bar and they charge and ring you up there. The drinks and food are good. My go to drink is their whiskey mule. Their food is typical bar food, fries, chicken wings, pretzel bites but they have fried pickles. I know not everyone is a fan of pickles but if you are. You have to try these. The batter is light and airy and the dipping sauce is great! They didn't change much to the space. But it's very open especially when they open the windows. read more
