Came with a huge group of friends on a Friday night- we ate, we drank and we were definitely merry by the 4th round in lol This is definitely the spot for drinks, good hangs and all the music we grew up on! Wings were a solid 8/10 Dirty Shirley's 10/10 Service was good considering every seat had 1.5 people sitting in it. I'd recommend getting there just a shot earlier than the evening rush and you'll be sure to get a table and quality service :) read more

In the pantheon of LA dive bars, the Rustic stands alone, somehow straddling the requisite dark & secretive atmosphere of a Scorsese mob meeting with the openness of a cheery breakfast spot where everyone's welcome to coffee while waiting. The staff is friendly and chatty, and the crowd upbeat without being raucous. The jukebox plays good tunes, and the drinks are properly poured. What's not to like? Well, the prices are a bit out of line for the atmosphere, with 6 of their famous wings costing you $14. Jameson Black Barrel was $15 for a shot, about $5 higher than the going rate. I get it: there are a bunch of trendy places on the street charging top dollar, and the Rustic is following suit, using their well-worn decor as their "theme." Clever, as a new place built from scratch might pay a million bucks to create the look they already have. But here's the thing: I stopped in on my way between Pasadena and an event in Hollywood, thinking I'd have a bite here -- and, while I'm happy to splurge on a good meal, I thought, "Do I really want to spend $50 on bar food served on paper plates?" If I had been out with a group for a night of partying, of course I would have happily gone along with it; but this time, riding solo, my answer was no. Which is not to say I won't be back -- I probably will be... just under different circumstances. read more

This is a very cool down-to-earth bar. Call it a "dive" bar, if you must, but it is really a neighborhood bar. It is casual and comfortable. I tried the wings and, while I have not had all the wings in Los Angeles, these cannot be the best. I ordered them extra crispy and they came crispy and with plenty of sauce. They were good wings but not amazing. At our server's suggestion, I ordered them "suicide" style, which is not on the menu, and which is apparently hotter than the "hot" style. They were not unbearably hot but my lips did tickle for about an hour after eating them. You can get them with either ranch or blue cheese or both. I got both but preferred the blue cheese. We also tried the zucchini sticks and you get a huge basket of them. They were delicious and sounded kind of healthy. I am sure they were not healthy, especially after we dipped them in ranch and marinara sauce, but I am also sure they are healthier than smoking cigarettes so there is that. There are lots of televisions and the Dodgers' fans definitely congregate here. If you want a seat to watch a game, come early or be shut out. Our server was great and we could see all the servers working very hard. There is plenty of free parking in the lot but make sure you get a (free) pass from your server to place on your dash so you can park longer than one hour. Good beer and drink options and lots of specials. This is a very cool neighborhood bar. read more

Old school since 1971. The Rams vs Bears football game had started and we were hoping to hang out here to watch it on their television while sipping on a cold draft beer. Those wishes were crushed when we walked in to find the place so crowded we couldn't even stand in an open area to watch the game. read more

The service here is absolutely incredible and easy on the eyes. Shoutout to the bartender Zach for making the best cocktails! Amazing sour whiskey. Food delicious. Wings are out of control with a healthy serving of carrots and celery. My favorite dipping sauce is the blue cheese ranch. If you like pickles, the deep fried pickles are great. There's plenty of parking. Inside is dimly lit and they have different shows playing in screens in the background. I heard once in a while celebrities drop by. The vibe is nice and fun to bring friends. read more

Okay, everyone including the staff told.me about the chicken wings here being among the best in Los Angeles. Sadly the kitchen was closed, so ai opted to return another day... that was 4 visits ago... since then I have eaten wings from Rustic Inn and ai have been wowed everytime. Let me close this brief review by saying that I am not a wings guys... at all. But when all the reviews point to this as an ordering option, you go with it. So, glad I did. I will be back. Thanks for the heads up Cap! read more

Yes, this restaurant has the best wings in LA. They are crispy, flavorful buffalo wings with great blue cheese dip. A great spot not too far from DTLA to get chicken and beer with your friends. But, my overall experience from coming multiple times, the service is terrible. Customers could not stand to order drinks at the bar and take them to their table even when things seemed slow and the servers were no where to be seen. The food would take 30-45 minutes to an hour to come out. As it's a dive bar, it can take a little longer for a server to show up. However, if you don't flag them, it will take them forever to check in or serve us. read more

Ye Rustic Inn is a classic L.A. dive bar gem. Great wings, cold beers, and a chill, no-frills vibe that's perfect for catching a game or hanging with friends. They have a patio in the open air in the front along the parking lot area. Dark, woodsy charm and strong drinks give it old-school character. A true Echo Park staple. Long live the jukebox. This was the starting and finishing point on our birthday bar crawl. I'm giving two stars because our group got kicked out at the end. The manager was really rude to one of our partygoers, alleging things that I simply did not see. I would have otherwise been 4-5 stars because this spot is a gem. read more

Decided this was going to be my group's stomping grounds while we were taking classes together. Not normally a dive bar kind of person but here goes: For the location, I'd say the fish and chips and Reuben are pretty solid choices. That along with $29 pitchers are a pretty good deal for a good time with large parties. You will need to open a tab via the QR code. While you can sit inside for the dive bar experience, outside is defenitely better for bigger groups. Though they will start shuffling people inside after 10pm. It's within walking distance for us. Parking in the plaza isn't too bad but if you do drive. You might need to find street parking. read more

I have been coming to this bar for 20+ years and every time I come here they overcharged me. They are actually known for it amongst all my friends and community. Make sure you check your bill! Even though I pointed it out to the waitress they still overcharged me for the higher amount. She added an order of wings that we never ordered to our check. It's the extra $20 +5 dollar tip that really adds up and I think is only reason they've managed to stay in business this long! I tried the Modelo and the Stella and both were flat so whoever is tapping the kegs is not tapping them properly. The only good thing was the nachos. read more

Ye Rustic Inn - Overcharging - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In my opinion these are the best wings in LA and I've eaten a lot wings. The staff are friendly and the dive bar vibe is soothing.

The best buffalo wings in LA! Great size, sauce is straight kicking, and I normally don't like ranch but this place does it right!

I've been coming here for 9 years and have seen many waitresses come and go, but I always come back because of the wings -- regardless of who's serving me. However, today I had the worst experience I've ever had. An entire cup of beer was spilled on me, and instead of a sincere apology, I was told, "At least you get a free beer." It was humiliating and completely unprofessional. As a Hispanic woman, I truly felt disrespected and treated differently because of my ethnicity. What should have been a simple mistake turned into one of the most embarrassing and upsetting experiences I've had at a restaurant. Sadly, after years of loyalty, I will not be returning. Please when you hire people be sure to ask if they know what is empathy and to not judge people by there ethnicity. read more

Great bar. You can't go wrong here and the food is rock solid for a bar. Super grungy fun. A real throwback and I'm very glad they're still in business. read more

Great Vibes All Around! My partner and I came here and had an amazing time. The wings were fire, the service was excellent, and the margaritas were top-tier. The fried pickles? Definitely a must-try! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality stood out. We had just parked inside the parking lot, and before I could even sit down, one of the staff asked if we had parked there and immediately gave us a little parking pass so our car wouldn't get towed. Super thoughtful! I've seen some reviews saying the service wasn't great, but that wasn't our experience at all. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and on point. The music was vibing and catered to everybody Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Indian you name it. It felt inclusive, upbeat, and welcoming. The atmosphere was just right not too hot, not too loud, just a great spot to relax and enjoy. Also, major props for being LGBTQ+ friendly. We felt safe, seen, and welcomed from start to finish. We'll definitely be back! read more

Complete waste of time and money! was there last Friday on my lunch break took 45 minutes to get three Sliders !way overpriced drinks and terrible service on top of it. I used to go there all the time back in the day and it's sad to see how far they've fallen. read more

The only rustic thing about this place is the janky porch. It's very disconcerting to not be able to talk to a bartender to order a drink, but instead have to go through a bot with a POS AFTER scanning a QR code for the menu. It's a dive bar- why is it so hard to have a one page paper menu or just have the menu chalked on the wall? could be kitch, but really it just feels more like tech laziness courtesy of Toast. The wings are fine, but nothing extraordinary. Better than bad, I guess? Dive bars aren't just sort of rough and tumble places, they require bartenders with a gift of gab and a bit of homey snark to add to the overall ambiance. Sadly, my bartender was too wrapped up in their phone to even make basic conversation. read more

I've been to this place a few times and it's quickly become my favorite neighborhood bar since I've moved to Los Feliz. The location is great. Right on Hillhurst Ave-- with parking! When you get inside, you find a table and order. Menus are online. It's a no frills dive bar that feels very homey. I always usually get wings and beer here. There are several beers on tap. Yes, the wings are really THAT good. Crisped to perfection and not too saucy. I get the medium heat and it's just the right amount of spicy for me. It comes with a couple carrot and celery pieces. If you're extra hungry, the fries are good too -- and they can make them multiple ways. Overall, a great spot to relax and hangout with some beer and wings. read more

Decent old fashioned. The Bartender lost their cocktail spoon and used an improvised bent spoon and only charged me the price of a whiskey. It still was a decent tasting old fashioned. The food smelled good and I like the ambiance. This is a very classic pub with decent prices. Incredibly good service and good vibes. They are also friendly towards man's best friend and I saw them give a dog water. read more

I hate not giving a good review because I isually have a great time here and service is usually good. However, the last time I came it took over half an hour for the waiter to wait our table & my friend had gone to ask the bar and was told to just wait for the waiter. We saw other tables being served so it was kind of disappointing. I will say that it was during a rams game so maybe it was extra busy that day. But it discourages me from wanting to come during game nights if that is the case. The food and drinks are usually good. I love that you can choose the level of crispiness for the wings. They have different appetizers to choose from. No complaints on food or drinks. This place is never empty when I come and it is usually a good ambiance. We've met nice people here. Staff is usually friendly. read more

Me and my boyfriend came in here right after getting totally traumatized by the Chinese bar next door (like, seriously... what even was that?). But thank GOD we walked into this place because the vibe? IMMACULATE. It's giving sporty dive bar meets magic city all the bartenders looked like they just stepped off a stripper pole in the best possible way. Like, these girls are drop-dead gorgeous and absolutely serving. We were obsessed, both of us Drinks were solid... yeah, a little on the pricey side, but honestly? Worth it. The energy, the service, the whole fun of it made it such a good time. First time here and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you're trying to catch a buzz and a vibe. read more

I rarely write bad reviews if I even have before. I used to come to this place all the time for many years. After everything reopened from COVID, I heard many stories about this place going downhill. A lot of old regulars stopped going. I decided to give it a chance last night anyway. I was having some beers and shots with a friend and my girl. It was his birthday. At the end of the night, I received my tab. It was quite a lot. I said to my girl "Man, this place has gotten really expensive. I can see why it's been going downhill." Instead of explaining the drink tab and breaking down the cost. Giving reasons why it was the amount, being professional, the bartender actually became mad at me. She even had the nerve in saying I insulted her for being a woman. My girl was kind enough to stick up for me by saying I didn't say anything remotely close to that. Personally, I would never say anything like that either. Then my girl explained to the bartender that I wasn't even criticizing her service as a bartender rather the restaurant and that I had the right to state my opinion as a customer. I wasn't even stating my opinion to the bartender at the time but to my friend. Thank god my girl was with me to witness what this woman was saying and accusing me of saying because she only had two drinks the entire night. It's a shame the bartender ruined the night. I won't describe what she looks like or say what her name was, but I hope she reads this and realizes that I had zero intentions of insulting her by talking about the bar's pricing to friends. In fact, I liked her service until she created the situation and gave a very unprofessional attitude with extremely false accusations. read more

The best place in the universe. The servers are the best and the wings are amazing!!!!

I came here on a Saturday night on a friend's desire to try their wings! They had both indoor and outdoor seating available and we opted for outdoor since the music inside is pretty loud. This is the spot for people come here in big groups to eat wings and drink beer. You order via the QR code on the table and you're able to add more throughout your night. It's also handy since you can pay on your own bill or with your whole table. The wings came in different spice levels but were all buffalo flavor. They also had a dry rub as well. The next time I come, I will get the dry rub option but the wings were pretty good. read more

Omgosh!!! I'm from Kentucky, we specialize in Bourbon and I'm known for drinking old fashions. This place by far has the best old fashioned I have ever had in my entire life!!

I was expecting to have only one drink, but HECK NO, I'm gotta try his specialty of using Bullet. Way to go Cap, I was only wanting one drink tonight, but you now made it two!!! Drink on my friend!!! read more

Nothing fancy, but it's a good neighborhood bar. Beer is fine, though sometimes it may be served warm Tried the turkey burger today. Took a loooooong time to get it. Fine but over cooked /land tough. Thank goodness for the sauce and ketchups You really mostly come for the wings and the after taste that surfaces in the burps. They only serve deep fried food after 9 or so. Great place to hang with friends. Karaoke Tuesdays, DnD Wednesdays. It's a fun place. Staff is super friendly. Some nights they close the outdoor seating early. read more

I never expected to write a negative review of Ye Rustic Inn. They've long had my favorite hot wings in Los Angeles, and I've always enjoyed coming here. Unfortunately, after tonight's experience, I won't be returning--and it's entirely due to the behavior of a staff member. I've been sober and in recovery for over four years. I occasionally order non-alcoholic beer, but only if it's truly 0.0%, as I'm sensitive to even the minimal alcohol content found in many traditional NA beers. When I asked our waitress if they carried any 0.0% options, she seemed slightly annoyed but said she would check. She approached a taller man behind the bar--presumably a manager or the owner--and I overheard her ask if any of their NA beers were 0.0%. He responded loudly with something along the lines of, "Tell them to look it up on their phone if they need to know," continuing to rant as if the question was unreasonable. As someone who has worked in bar service myself, I know this information is clearly printed on the bottle and is a simple, valid request--especially for anyone in recovery or sensitive to alcohol content. After hearing his response, I told the waitress we would be leaving. The disrespect and dismissiveness were unacceptable. My friends were shocked and upset on my behalf, and frankly, so was I. I truly hope no one else is treated this way in the future. This experience was extremely off-putting, and despite years of enjoying this bar--and working in and frequenting dive bars myself--I will not be back. read more

Been coming here for years, the wings are great. Service has always been terrible but last time I came here I couldn't believe my eyes. A group of bros came inside and brought a giant fluffy dog- A HUGE DOG- imagine a Pomeranian the size of a polar bear. The dog was so big that even lying down under the table he stuck out halfway and I saw someone trip over him. I love dogs, LOVE THEM. But not if I'm inside at a restaurant, eating saucy wings and I can literally see pieces of your dog's coarse white fur floating in the air onto our table and plates...it was honestly disgusting. And also disturbing that the staff just allowed these guys in. There were also plenty of open tables outside!! This whole thing made me hate the staff even more than their social media campaign and I didn't think that was possible. read more

Hi guys, I came over to place a 'to go' order that was filled almost an hour later. I mean there were folks who got there after me and somehow got their wing and other food orders well before mine even came out. So I asked the dude bartender to check and, he blows me off. I patiently wait another 30 minutes because you know, I might be in the wrong here, still no food. I asked him to check again, he gets into it with me. After some back and forth, he finally checks and realized his kitchen crew hadn't even started my order. At this point it's been about 50 min. He finally comes out with the wings a few minutes later showing the time stamped ticket. Here's the kicker, he's trying to make it seem like it's my fault or my problem that the food hasn't come out yet and I'm simply being impatient. Buddy, i waited nearly an hour for WINGS - your lack of communication is no excuse for providing shitty service. On top of it, I heard you talking shit on my way out - what are you thinking? Seriously you think showing me a timestamped ticket makes up for how late the food was? Or you think it makes up for your lack of communication. Or was it that you didn't like that I called you on it and you were in the wrong? Please, I'd like to know What could improve? 1. checking on orders when folks ask - although I did mention this directly to you. If it's too busy, ask for a couple minutes. 2. 2 min debrief with your bartenders. This way you know what's on task and avoid making excuses for yourself. 3. Try not to blow people off and then make it seem like you've been doing your job all along when you fuck up. 4. Take some responsibility. Everyone else there was absolute peaches - I love you guys ... read more

I usually like this spot, so, this is kinda lame. I came in for a drink and wings. It was busy (nbd), so I found a seat at the bar and waited my turn with the bartenders. The woman mixing drinks told me "I'll be right with you." No problem. The guy bartender was cleaning dishes and such, so I was just waiting to get some water and see a menu... for like 10ish minutes. Again, it's busy, nbd. Then, some other guy walks up right next to me, orders a drink, and they make it right away and hand it to him. No wait at all. So, apparently I needed to speak up. I said "Hey, I've been sitting here waiting for over 10 minutes, and this guy just walks up and gets his drink. Can I put in an order?" The guy bartender (I think his name is Nate) says "Oh, I tried making eye contact with you, but you kept looking away." He never said a word to me... no "Hey, what can I get you..." nothing. Waited for eye contact while I was actively sitting at the bar. Never experienced that at a dive bar. Also, the woman bartender never came back to me after she was done. She made the random guy's drink. This is just bad service. The guy said "Yeah, I tried a couple times to make eye contact with you. What can I get you?" So, I asked for some water and a menu... I didn't want a drink anymore. I've never been to a bar that required me to be sitting and waiting and not be acknowledged unless I randomly make eye contact with the bartender. (Again, after one of them said she'd be right with me.) read more

Ye Rustic is a classic sports bar. The booths are comfy and there's plenty of seating outside. If you sit outside, I recommend bringing some playing cards. During the holidays they decorate and do such a good job! The bar manager is a great guy. He put me onto their German beer and it's very good. The served are usually too busy to do much more than take your order and bring you your food and drinks, but they have been nice in my experience. Ye Rustic has the best bar food in the area. I was skeptical about the best wings in LA, but they deliver. The burgers are also incredible. If there's a game on then the kitchen is probably backed up, but it's worth the wait. The price is good too for the size of the portions. If you're looking for a sports bar, Ye Rustic is the place to go! read more

Literally the worst service. I've gone here a total of 4 times and every time I go here it's a terrible experience. The employees are so rude and hate their jobs. No idea why anyone even work there with what I've experienced. I've had a waitress push my friend that was barley behind the bar (asking for help on a bill they OVER CHARGED both my friends $70 each on a $60 tab) and said "can you fu king moving?" Physically pushed my friend like we were making an issue. Don't go here it's not worth it unless you like that kinda service read more

My friends and I spent almost 7 hours at Ye Rustic Inn this past weekend! It was NFL wildcard weekend and the games were incredible, but the vibe and food at Ye Rustic Inn were even better! If you're coming to watch the games, make sure you're there early! There's plenty of parking as this pub is located in a strip mall and is very easy to get to. Major points here! Service was very attentive and friendly. We went thru several bartenders because we were there so long, and every bartender was excellent! The pub gets packed once the games start. We secured seats at the bar, but there were many people standing behind us watching the games. It is a bit loud, but that's to be expected from a pub. For food, we got the wings, truffle steak fries, and chicken sandwich. Everything was great!!! I was pleasantly surprised, considering the divey nature of the pub. The wings were extra crispy and perfectly seasoned. The truffle steak fries were heavy on the truffle (10/10). My friend got the sando and said it was excellent! We got many rounds of drinks as well and overall, our total for 4 people came under $400. Not bad for 7 hours of football at a pub, with really good food! Thank you to Ye Rustic Inn for an excellent day full of football, friends, and great food. We will be back soon! read more

Love a good dive. Came in after work for a few drinks. Decent happy hour. Mon-Thurs 4-7. Highlights are the $7 margarita, $7 wells, and $11 beer & shot. The buzz comes quick at those prices. Inside has that dark, divey vibe. I dig it. TVs on the wall to catch a game. There's also patio seating in front and a small patio in the back. Once you work up a buzz, you gotta soak it up. The wings are pretty decent. Get em hot and extra crispy. They also have some other bar food on the menu like onion rings and nachos. I'll be back to try those next time. Definitely a chill spot, good for multiple visits. Service was good. Friendly staff. Small lot in front that fills up fast or some street parking nearby. read more
