Great dive bar place! Good beer. Good food. Keeping it simple. I had a sample platter and it was delicous! Next time however I am going to go back for just wings because they were my favorite! I could see this being a local favorite! read more

Really fun bar, good trivia night on Sundays. Can't miss the wings. Great staff, I've had Jordyn as my bartender a few times now and she's warm, responsive and efficient. I just moved into the neighborhood, and 5 nights in I've already been here for 3. read more

I come here once in a while and any server that has helped me out was never rude to me until yesterday night. I got wings and drinks. The first that was helping me out was a great server until she passed on the tab to the second server. He was really rude. He never came by to the table to check if we wanted more drinks. We had to go to the bar and ask for more . When we paid our tab he insulted us because we "didn't " give tip which i know for a fact we did. I split the bill with my friend. If he didn't give tip then okay but i know i gave a good amount of tip even if he wasn't a good server. When i ask for my receipt he didn't want to give it to me. I asked him nicely and his response was " no , i don't want to give it to you'" i don't want to see you. I don't know why he had the audacity to be a jerk by not giving me my reason. I had the right as a customer to get a receipt of my bill. Overall my experience with him as a server was a complete fail. They should fire him or keep on training him. He is not a good server read more

This place is just the best. I can't even put into words how nice it is to feel that "cheers" vibe still happen in LA, but if that's what you are looking for than this is the spot. With a side note of amaaazzzingggg Thai food. Just go. read more

What happened to this place? Yeah, the wings are great, but wow, $2.80 per wing? (Small wing mind you.) Not sure where the extra 80 cents per wing is goin to but it sure as hell ain't going to the wait staff. They seem to hate their jobs. read more

Went there two weeks ago with my fiance to watch a football game. left my jscket hanging by the bar. It' was a huge coat. Called next day and they did not have it. Only place we went to that night. Someone stole it or employees decided to keep it. It was a gift from Russia winter coat with fur lining and was over 15 years old. If thieves go there I will never visit. read more

I LOVE Ye Rustic. It's an amazing mishmash of people. One night I was in there and Marilyn Manson was blasting and a baseball game was on. I've knock off a star because I had a not so lovely experience with the COVID times take out wings. The styrofoam box didn't have any kind of hole/slit in it to allow steam to escape, so the wings were soggy. This made the famed extra crispy wings not so crispy. That being said only a third of the wings were actually covered in sauce. The ones that weren't had a weird chemical flavor. Perhaps, along with having a steam escape situation cut in to the box, it might make sense to put the sauce on the side. Anyway, I love you guys and can't wait to drink with y'all again! read more

I was floored by the lack of service here. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. I do not write bad reviews often, but they need a complete overhaul on how to treat guests. Pandemic or not we can still be kind and courteous to one another! read more

The wings are insanely good! Cute patio setup in the back. The bar back with great style & curly hair was so helpful and made my wife's birthday so much fun with his warm hospitality! read more

Oh...the memories...and this review is BASED on those memories. This little dive bar housed the most random of drunken people in the night of Los Angeles. One day, upon claiming our territory of the 1 of (if I remember correctly) 4 booths, my friends and I managed to lead our drunken crowd into a chorus of singing to the song, "Yesterday." In the end, we all took a pounding to our beers. Oh, the memories... It's small. It's crowded. Great bar food. Strong drinks. Spunky waitresses. Grumpy bartenders. It's the type of bar I love. Man, if you are open to any crowd that has being a drunken mess in common, try this place out! read more

BEST WINGS! no doubt. cool people. juke box...plenty of tv's for sports real small only 3 choices of draft beer service sucks read more

(Dined 11/12/12 M @ 6pm): The only sense of English was the language spoken. Our first time to Ye Rustic Inn was by happenstance while we also picked up another female friend along the way; yeah, I was pimping with a woman on each side of me! My friend and I were on an extended walk and decided to walk the carpool route I took for work. On a whim, we checked if my carpool buddy was home (she was), and she was more than willing to walk with us after a discussion turned from just a walk to happy hour! She'd wanted to try the place, too. We've eaten at the Chi Dynasty restaurant next door. A brisk walk along Los Feliz Blvd. and soon we were ready for some suds. The place just started to get busy with the Steelers/Chiefs NFL game on. In our grubby walking clothes and I with crazy bedhead, we didn't quite look the part (or hipster to the embarrassing extreme), but the place was so dark the various TVs were the main illumination in the joint. The waitress gave us the rundown of the happy hour specials, we also flipped through the regular menu, and minutes later we dove ( more like dive, as in dive bar) into our order: a pint of Boddingtons on tap for me and our passenger ($7.00 ea), a Diet Coke for my friend ($2.50), an order of onion rings ($8.00), and as the evening continued, a pint of Newcastle on tap ($7.00), a pint of Bud ($4.00 happy hour price - I was desperate at this point and regretted it after the first sip), and a 6-piece order of their "world famous" buffalo wings ($7.00). With tall cold ones in hand (my friend forgot her ID so we had to pass our beers to her to drink) and a "salud", the evening began. The beer refreshed us and went down smoothly! The onion rings came out and I was ready to throw them down (I worked up an appetite on the long walk). ONION RING ALERT...They were a beautiful crisp golden-burnt color and a plentiful amount in all sizes great for sharing (I personally would've eaten all of them). The broke nicely when you bit into each one. Alas, they were standard golden onions and not the sweet Maui kind I currently weighed all onion rings to. They were good for sustenance but nothing to write home about. Plus, the ranch dressing they came with was disgustingly runny and barely covered or even stayed on when I dipped the rings into it. Blah! 2.5 stars The ladies chit-chatted along and I was content as I watched the game, the people, and our waitress, but this was when I decided to order a Bud (I'm an import man) because I wanted to order something off the scant happy hour menu, and the wings (medium-hotness so the ladies would try). I had to say, these guys were very meaty and not bad at all! They also came with carrot and celery sticks, however, with the same runny ranch dressing. I passed on dipping them and went naked. Full of flavor and medium still had a spiciness to it. I would return for these. The service was good. Our short cute waitress who wore a nicely-fitted "je'taime" t-shirt sat us quickly into a cushiony booth and was ready to take our order. As the evening continued on and the place got filled with Monday night football revelers (mostly male), she was a bit harder to track down but she appeared and attempted to check in on us from time to time. She filled our water glass regularly and the check came out once we were done. Parking was decent as they shared with many other businesses within a small strip mall. However, many of those closed closer to the evening time which freed up more spaces. Otherwise, metered parking was available along Hillhurst Ave. or nearby side streets. We walked it in a roundabout way from our pad in Silver Lake which wasn't bad at all. Overall, Ye Rustic Inn was decent but I would come back again to try a couple other things like their food menu. I was totally disappointed in the lackluster happy hour menu (i.e. not many choices and prices frankly weren't that good). I found minimal value as noted by the prices and service above (total bill was around $42.00 before tip). BUT I HAVE ONE MAJOR COMPLAINT BURIED HERE: ONCE THE CHARGE CLEARED A FEW DAYS LATER THERE WAS AN EXTRA $1.50 IN THE TOTAL BILL AFTER THE TIP; NOT COOL AT ALL! The atmosphere was very dive bar and geared more to men (they needed more attractive waitresses besides ours). There were two sections and each was fairly crammed. There were five TVs in the front bar area, and where we sat underneath one of the TVs it was blaring loud even after we requested to turn it down. The booths where of old skool diner style. And again, extremely dark. The attire was casual, but I wouldn't feel comfortable in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. At least pants and a collared shirt. Although they accepted credit cards, they didn't accept my credit card of choice...AMEX! read more

This place is pretty small, but most of the time that is not a problem. Ive been here a couple of times, both during the week, and both times there was almost nobody there. We decided to go there over the weekend to see what it was like. It was very crowded, and as per usual bar protocol, the music was unbearably loud. They did seem to have a decent selection of beers and drinks, and the bar tender was nice, quick to take my order despite the crowd around the bar blocking people from ordering, and he was also very attentive in making sure we had drinks when our glasses would become empty. When its crowded it is not a very comfortable place to be because there is limited seating, and nowhere really to stand that isn't blocking where people are trying to get through. The room behind the bar seems to be reserved for people who order food, so there were a couple of free tables going to waste, though I completely understand reserving a space for people who want to eat. How awkward would it be to order a big ol burger and fries and a drink and have to stand and eat it all? There is also a back patio which I did not get a chance to check out, but it says that you cant bring your drinks out there, which is a real shame. The best part about bars with patios is going outside into the fresh air and avoiding the loud music, and taking your drink with you! It also had TVs everywhere with sports on them. Thumbs down! I give this place three stars for the service and potential, but I don't like loud bars (the point is to go out and be social, not stand there not being able to converse because you cant be heard even when yelling into someones ear). Otherwise I like the rustic divey feel to the place, and wouldn't mind coming back when it is less crowded. I would also like to draw attention to the fact that bars generally have no way to approach them when it is crowded, so that you can order your drinks. I think this needs to be addressed, and bars need to have designated ordering areas around the bar that people cannot hang out at. That way it wont take people forever to get a drink, and they can drink fast enough to need to order some of the bars food to soak up the alcohol. It's win-win, I don't know why bars don't do this! read more

Call it the neighborhood bar, call it a dive, call it whatever you want, but from the define you walk in there'll be something familiar about this bar. Even of you've never been here before. We came on a Sunday night to participate in their block-famous trivia night. The questions were hard, but not so bad that you didn't get a couple perfect scores every round. The drinks are reasonably priced and the wings are supposed to be amazing (especially if you get them crispy). Like I said, it's your neighborhood bar striving for greatness without really wanting to get there. read more

Went here to try their world famous wings since I saw them highlighted on a show on television. The place itself is a divey with decently priced drinks. We ordered 12 wings flavored hot with a side of the suicide sauce. The wings were decently crispy but the "hot" sauce didn't really bring much flavor. It was mild at best. Seeing that the "hot" sauce was not hot I decided to drink the suicide sauce and as I expected, on the hot scale it was a notch below Tabasco sauce. Trust me, I love wings and these wings were pretty....normal. If you want to go to a chill place with good drinks, I'd come here. If you want to come for the world famous wings, I'd go elsewhere. read more

My father and I haven't seen each other since I was two years old. One day he got into contact with me after 29 years and asked me to meet for lunch. I walked into Ye Rustic Inn and there he was sitting in a booth. I knew it was him because he looked exactly like me if I was wearing a shirt that said, "World's Greatest Estranged Dad." I sat down. After a moment of silence we started talking. It seemed as if life had done a number on him. After he had left our family he joined Old Navy and saw the world working at all their international locations. After mistaking salmon pants for pink he was given a dishonorable discharge. After that he had several jobs across the continental U.S. that included trampoline salesman, pubic hair stylist, and NFL referee during their strike year. His hair was brown as was one of his eyes. The other eye was pink. He wore a necklace that read Griselda and I asked , " Is that your wife?" He responded, "I just did a 23 and me and the results said I am 100 percent Griselda Sanchez." The conversation went down from there. Griselda and I had nothing in common. Just cause two men share the same blood doesn't mean they share the same heart. The check came and we were deciding on how much to give our waitress Amy. Nice girl. Her accent was either from New Zealand or Denver. I couldn't tell. Me and Griselda started talking about how we should tip and we begin to talk about the lunch we just had. Amy was amazing. The food was amazing. All the drinks were in liquid form. All of a sudden we couldn't stop talking about how great Rustic was. We talked for the next two hours about how great our fifteen minute lunch had gone. Suddenly what I realized was people can come in and out of your life but Rustic is always good. GriselDad and I have lunch every Tuesday here and we have for the last 10 years and as long as Rustic is around we will have a relationship. Seriously, great wings! :) read more

Check all reciepts and then check you bank statements!!! I was nothing but respectful and chill during my visit but then this bartender straight up lied and charged me full price instead of the special they were having. The special started at 4 and I had my phone out to specifically wait until after 4:05 to order just in case but she saidI ordered before 4 and the system wouldnt let her put it in. Mind you the system is her writing shit down on a notepad and then putting the prices in on one of those prehistoric calculators that has the typewritter receipt printing ditty bops on the back. Its not some high tech pos system. That was lie 2 strike 2 We were drinking and vibing for about an hour before that so I dont evem know why she was being greedy. She knew I knew she was bullsh*tting me but I didnt cause a scene or anything, I just paid my tab and left. Still tipped her as well. They dont put down what they are charging you for on the bill, just a number and space to sign. I checked my statement today and they took out an extra $20. F*ckin thieves. I know the stereotypes about black people being bad tippers but I always leave 20% also I made sure she wasnt leaving and transfering my bill because I wanted to tip her for being cool. She even fricken thanked me for doing so. I tipped less than 20% for bullsh*tting me but still tipped even though they taxed. But I STILL GOT HUSTLED I never really write reviews but I cant stand a crook and dont want other people to get ripped off Btw called to speak with the manager just to gey refunded the extra money charged not to cause a ruckus or get anyone fired, but dude on the phone said they never know when the manager comes in and they have no supervisor. So its basically one big hustle gang free for all in that b*tch. Wings are good though read more

Ye Rustic Inn - Looks like the place has near changed. Once your eyes adjust to the lighting, all is good - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Bad food. Worse service. High prices. One extra star because no one got food poisoning.

This place use to be so much fun and had great customer service when there where certain people working there and other things provided at the Rustic. I may not be a regular but I've been living in the area for 20 years and have gone on and off again to the rustic for the same reason lack of customer service!! The owner sucks as well. The only positive thing about the place is the wings!!! read more

Ummmm best wings in LA? Yes I think I'll give it to ye rustic place goes so hard support these legends peace

I've been coming to Ye Rustic for over 25 years. LOVE the wings. It's been an old favorite until recently. The last two times I have been there they have been reluctant and or refused to provide us with a detailed check or receipt. 18 wings three shots and two beers for $80+. They swipe your card into their portable machine tell you this is your total without any specifics. It feels like getting rolled. I'm sure they are taking advantage of many drunks. Also, the service has become super spotty and superficial. I'm sad because like I said I love the wings but...... read more

Best wings ever! They are the most delicious wings in all of LA Also surprisingly the chicken soup is great. We come for trivia on Wednesday with bing bike....which is awesome. You have to get there pretty early to make sure you have a booth but it's worth it! read more

Best wings in town!! The Rustic is the best - can't wait for things to get back to normal so we can all experience the best (not so) hidden gem in LA. read more

.:Customer Service:. Customer service varied at this place. The female bartender with the tattoos and plugs initially helped us. She was REALLY good, prompt, personable, and gave us a complementary drink! She definitely picked up the slack for her colleagues, one of which I had to request water from multiple times before delivery, and another who is selective with regards to who she helps. Thus, having customer service average out to being decent. .:Ambiance & Seating:. Typical dive bar with tacky Christmas lights, but way too dark inside and seating sucked. All the seating (whether at the bar or the surrounding booths) is based on where you walk in and take your seat. There is nobody to seat you when you walk in. For a location that serves such great food, very poor to have it this way because you end up people slouched over and being forced to eat at the bar with no back support or space (elbow room for wings is important lol), while others are sitting around the booths, babysitting their drinks, and securing their comfortable seats for the game. I would not return if I had to sit at the bar again. .:Food Quality:. The wings were amazing! Make sure to get the spiciest. It really has flavor to it and not just the type to burn a hole through your cheeks. I also got a whiskey sour which tasted much better than what I was anticipating. I would definitely go back and get the wings and sour again. .:Parking:. There is conveniently located parking outside. .:Other Concerns & Final Comments:. Food was amazing but seating situation is bad enough to make me reconsider. The tattooed bartender who provided us with a complementary drink and good service really carried this rating from a 3 to 4. read more

These are the greatest wings I've ever had in my life . Laura is an actual angel on earth. She knows what you want to order before you want it . She gave me 4 sides of ranch to go.

If I could give them 0 stars I would've. I had a really embarrassing situation last night and no one did absolutely anything about it. One of the bartenders spilled beer from the machine right into my eye while serving someone - it pissed me off of course but alright, it happens. She saw it. She did NOTHING about it: didn't apologize, didn't hand me a napkin, didn't ask if I needed anything. She literally didn't say a word - instead, she told another bartender and they were laughing about it. My friend came back after singing (cause all that happened while she was on "stage") and I told her "can you believe that b*tch spilled beer on me and didn't do absolutely anything to help or apologize?" - the bartender then heard, started yelling to the host to stop the song cause "that was enough, no one calls me b*tch, you guys can get out". She then kicked us out. I, of course not willing to stay there for any other second, tried explaining what happened to the host but then I gave it up cause she kept yelling and I didn't wanna cause a scene. After a couple of minutes my friend went back in to try to understand why the bartender overreacted like that if she was the one who caused the accident and didn't do absolutely anything to try to help me or check if I was ok, and the woman said I was "being a b*tch" (yes she used the same term, but she can!) since I got there - and then she literally made out a pathetic lie about my ID. Just literally trying EVERYTHING to be right. Great costumer service l must say - nope. We tried looking for the manager but it turned out that SHE is the manager!!!! Which means... If THAT'S the one responsible for the place... What can you expect?! Never again. It's not even a nice place, it's pricy and small. Then the costumer service is absolutely disgusting, and their own MANAGER is the one that treats their costumers like sh*t. No, thanxxxx read more

I only come here for one thing! Their wings are amazing. Parking is great too! A little crowded inside but its a bar. I've never had a problem with finding a seat. Also it's not pricey at all to be in Los Feliz. Love this place and the customer service is awesome too! read more

Be careful they overcharge. It just isn't the same anymore. Food isn't as good, service sucks. Prices have increased quite a bit and they put stickers on their menu. It's just trashy now. read more
