This is in a lively part of Santa Monica, and I really loved the atmosphere around the area. The restaurant has outdoor booths, and the patio is dog-friendly, which is always a big plus. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and there are sports TVs dotted around inside if you want to catch a game. The menu is huge, with so many options to choose from, including all-day breakfast, so there really is something for everyone. I tried the honey-glazed wings, which were delicious, and the mac & cheese wedges were also very good. It's in a pedestrian area, parking is available in the nearby parking structures for a few bucks an hour, less or close to 0 for the first 90 minutes. read more

Overall 10/10 would highly recommend this place for their food & sports bar vibe read more

I will start with the fact that I have been going to Barney in West Hollywood for 40 years. This review is about the one on The 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. A 2 star review is a bit generous but I don't like giving 1 star reviews. My taco combo said beans, rice, guacamole and salsa came with it. The Chicken was dry and flavorless. They guacamole was brown and old. There was no rice. Our server never came back to ask how the Food was, so I only got to ask about the rice after I went to go get her to ask for the Bill. She never refilled our drinks. So I would not recommend this place to anybody. Less than favorable food and bad service. read more

Barney's Beanery located on 3rd Street Promenade is a super fun place to watch the game. The place was LIT And ON FIRE packed with football fans including myself watching FIFA on the multiple TV screens on the wall. Try to get here early to get a table at least 30 minutes before a game starts. read more

Attended for a party and our server Storm was really friendly and patient. Would return again and I highly recommend the pastrami sliders.

I have come to this place for years, even though the quality has dropped off ages ago. Today sat on a patio. Waited for 15 minutes for someone to come out, finally a table anxious for a check went to get the bar tender. I had my dog with me, who has accompanied me here for the past 5 years. When I asked for a bowl of water, the bartender told me they are not allowed to give dogs water. Not even in a plastic bowl. Clearly, we weren't wanted. So we left. read more

Barney's is always the best sports bar on the promenade! The food is always great, I love the apps such as the mozzarella sticks and pretzel sticks. The staff is always really friendly and accommodating. On a typical night, they'll put on a dozen different games on their many TVs. They also have many games upstairs including shuffleboard and pop a shot which I've enjoyed with my young cousins every time I'm in the area. It'll get crowded on a big sporting event night but can be an intimate spot at any other time. A must go when in the area. read more

The hours say they are open until 2pm on Monday. Well guess what. I paid $4.50 for parking. I arrived there at 12:34 pm and they were closed! So I hope they update their hours. read more

Great pub location and lots of televisions with lots of games. A sports bar with lots of different decor, album covers, license plates, lunch boxes, photos, and more. Service was great from the hostess to the server to the busboys. Had I been to the bar I am sure the Bartender would have have been good too. So the food was filling and very flavorful. Now I had ordered the chorizo and eggs. The chorizo was delicious. Herbs and spices mixed just like the way mom made it. The hash browns were crispy and to top it off they brought out jam with the toast. My brother had the Barney's hash and said the plate was really flavorful as well. The promenade is not what it once was but Barney's Beamer is worth coming back too. read more

Barney's Beanery - Lower floor booths - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Came here for drinks and to roast some s'mores. There was no wait time for on this Saturday. They allow dogs, you just have to sit in the patio area. Alan was our waiter and he was very kind. The only reason it wasn't 5 stars was because I was expecting more s'mores for passing $15. If I am in the area and don't have anything else interested in eating, I would try something of their menu. read more

Despite the decline of the 3rd Street Promenade, Barney's is consistently well visited and well liked. I hadn't been in a few years, so wife and I decided to go for brunch. It was sad to see so many storefronts closed up, but Barney's was unchanged. Great nostalgic decor and vibes. Same newspaper style menu. Same huge selection of food and drink. I ordered the Ultimate burger with onion rings, wife got a breakfast combo. We both had bloody marys, which were excellent. The food however gets mixed reviews. She loved her breakfast. My burger was just ok. Under seasoned and probably made from a pre-formed frozen patty. Onion rings were good. Service was exceptional so that saves the brunch from a 3 star rating, along with the great drinks and the happy wife. Lastly, value. A 2. Especially considering the mediocre burger was $22. All together, $69 before tip. But yeah, it's Santa Monica. What are you gonna do? read more

What a wonderful wonderful place! This is now my favorite Barneys location anywhere. Just wonderful ambience and vibes. Really nice outdoor patio on the third street promenade with cozy booths and a beautiful long bar with extremely comfortable chairs, as well as plenty of comfortable booth seating throughout the whole restaurant. A lot of very entertaining eye candy everywhere as well as plenty of games on the second level. Pool tables, Pac-Man, air hockey etc., etc.. very beautiful layout and TVs absolutely everywhere. They have some pretty fun events Monday through Friday like movie night, trivia night, karaoke night. Even a pool league! What a fun place! Skinny cocktail was made to perfection and my only complaint is the two times we ordered cocktails, we had to ask where they were. The bartender didn't seem to be focused on her job at all. Abigail was fantastic. Great personality and a great server! I had the Bueno and Solada. Taco shell was fried perfectly and all the lovely flavorful, shredded chicken and sautéed peppers and Coquita cheese and lovely amount of beans smeared on the bottom was just divine. He had the chicken quesadilla and it looked lovely. He said it was good. Prices aren't too bad. Next time I'm in this area I will definitely come back in. Fabulous! read more

I have been coming to this Barneys location for years. It's always a solid visit every time. They have a good selection of beers and other drinks to enjoy your evening. I have had some of the food to munch on here and there but never a whole meal. I love the layout and theme of Barney's, there's a lot to look at. This location is right in the promenade. Good spot to check out if you are getting your evening started. read more

My mother and I came here for some of the World Cup days. Our experience was typically good until we met Natasha. She was so rude and condescending to my mom. At one point, she even rolled her eyes at my mother when we asked what she reccomends on the menu. Will not return. read more

Well, I've been to the original Barneys many times, but this is my first visit to the Santa Monica location. We very much enjoyed our visit here and we were constantly entertained by all the details of the establishment, something to look at everywhere! There's a cozy environment inside no matter where you sit and really captures a lot of the original location's vibe. The food was good, but nothing too special, but we very much enjoyed interaction with our server who had a real great positive attitude and made our visit that much more fun. we visited for a late lunch on a Tuesday and had almost the whole place to ourselves. One thing to check out, the barstools are all old automotive seats, and are very comfortable and kind of unique. read more

Hadn't been to this location in many years. We came in around 3pm last Sunday and Collan was our server. He was great and provided amazing customer service. I got the Pomegranate Lemon Martini and my friend got the Eat a Peach and we shared a pizza. Everything was great. We look forward to coming back to try more drinks and food! The ambience is great, I love all the decor. They also have pool tables for you to play, they have outdoor and indoor seating too, read more

Super unwelcoming, the service was so rude. From the greeter to the waiter. Ended up just grabbing a drink and leaving. Literally never coming back here again read more

Cool spot to catch a game. Came here on a Sunday to catch the AFC divisional round game. I think this place is more of an "eagles bar", but we just wanted a place to sit down and watch the game. They have so many TVs so it's awesome for that. Our server was great, very attentive. I got the chicken tenders and a side of fries. They were pretty solid. My sister got the margarita pizza. She said it was meh. Overall, this spot is cool to watch a game. Not sure I would come back just for a meal. read more

Really wish I had better to say... came here last night with at least 6 friends for drinks after ice skating down the street. We got here at about 8:30 and it was pretty empty. It was a Tuesday night. We crammed into a booth and a waitress finally came. I don't remember her name (I think it was Jamie) but she was friendly. We ordered like 6 drinks, fries and a couple chicken tenders/onion rings. I'm not exaggerating when I say it took 30 minutes for 3 of the 6 drinks to come and another 15 minutes for the food to come. We were finished with the food by the time the other half of the drinks came which was very confusing. I think our waitress checked on us one more time and one of my friends ordered a beer and 2 shots. That's it. It took another 20 minutes for them to come. We were literally commenting on how long each order took even for something as simple as beer. We actually thought they forgot our order. It was EMPTY so this was very frustrating. We sat outside and it was fairly comfortable but honestly I don't know if I'd come back. We all loved the food and the drinks were great but the service was horrendous. read more

So the Barneys bakery on Santa Monica in West Hollywood is the ultimate Barney's bakery. They have a second location in Santa Monica, which is cool like the beer selection is great. I haven't had the food, but the service is amazing and the vibe is like out of this world. I mean, you walk in and there's like car seat seats like at the bar like seats of cars it's really kind of cool not as cool as the one on Santa Monica St. Seriously I think it's kind of fitting the OG Barney's being ready is on Santa Monica St. in Weho and they open one in Santa Monica so I don't know if you know but like Santa Monica's now set up like a you can walk around with your beer type of situation as long as you buy your beer from one of the vendors in wake of all of the billings for lease and the close down businesses I think it's an attempt to bring more people to Santa Monica third street promenade but at one point Santa Monica third Street promenade was booming...I had to support the business! read more

Great spot for both food and drinks. The cocktails were well made and the food was surprisingly good for a bar - everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The vibe is lively but still comfortable, perfect for a night out. Service was friendly and fast. Definitely a place I'd come back to read more

Diana and Jackie are the best bartenders ever!! So attentive and hilarious!!! Definitely coming back!!! Love this place!!!

Food was okay, I had the Cali burger with the cheese crisp, it was spicy (loved) but dry. And the pizza was a no go, if you're looking for a busy sports bar vibe, this is your place. read more

Came here after going mini golfing- I like that they have a variety of many things which made it convenient for a family with 2 kids. They opted for cheese pizza which had A LOT of cheese to the point where my youngest at one point was choking on the cheese so we had to cut her pizza into small squares. The flavor of the pizza was good, half of the pizza looked more well done than the other half. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich, it was good, if I could change something it would be to have a thicker piece of chicken- the chicken itself was really thin, so it wasn't really juicy. My husband got the Gobbler and said it was okay. I got onion rings which were good, crunchy. Our server was great. She had many tables so we weren't greeted right away but she was able to do a great job where we had refills and our food was brought out in a timely manners. There was a football game going on when we arrived and we had a tv right next to us, which my husband loved. Barneys always has a bar vibe and everything around kept my girls entertained. The lighting is dim. Overall, a good experience with Barney's minus the bit choking on the cheese. read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but our experience at Barney's in Santa Monica was so unacceptable that I feel compelled to share. Short version: 1. Our server had an extremely unprofessional and hostile attitude, filled with subtle (and not-so-subtle) microaggressions. He ended the experience by publicly demanding a tip in an aggressive tone. 2. The environment was loud and vulgar, even for a bar/restaurant. The music was blasting explicit lyrics during the late afternoon while families were dining. 3. Management ignored us when we politely asked to speak to someone at the end. Now, the full story: We were a group of four families, diverse in background, with teens who are working actors, celebrating a friend's son after a successful stage reading nearby. We chose Barney's for a casual early dinner, hoping it would be a fun spot for the teens with a decent menu. One of the moms even suggested it because she thought the vibe would be good. Ironically, she was treated the worst. Right off the bat, our server's energy was off. He never introduced himself, didn't smile, and seemed irritated from the start. A short, middle-aged, bald man who frankly seemed miserable in his job. When we asked to split the check by family, his attitude turned worse. Instead of simply saying it wasn't their policy (which it clearly was, since he ended up doing it), he scolded us like we were clueless. He claimed no restaurant allows that, which is just false and frankly condescending. Whether it was our diversity or family setup that triggered him, he made it very clear that we weren't welcome. Despite his tone, we thanked him and kept things friendly. We were there to celebrate, not argue. Still, he continued acting like we didn't belong. Several adults didn't order alcohol, and he looked annoyed by that. Then when we asked about their "famous chili," he flatly told us it wasn't very good and acted as if he couldn't care less if we ordered anything at all. It was bizarre. The food? Mid-tier at best. My sweet potato fries were soggy, not worth the upcharge, but the rest of the meals were edible. Nothing memorable. At the end, things escalated in a way I've never experienced in all my years dining in LA. One of the dads stepped out to feed the meter. Apparently, he had told the server he'd tip him in cash. Everyone else had already paid and tipped, including us (we tipped 20% despite the service). As we were getting ready to leave, the server loudly confronted the entire group and yelled across the restaurant: "Hey! The guy in the hat said he was gonna tip me $20 in cash and I didn't get anything!" We were stunned. It was beyond unprofessional; it was humiliating. His wife was confused by what was going on, and I explained it to her. I let the server know her husband was coming back. The server rolled his eyes and stormed off. Moments later, as she came out of the restroom, he was glaring at her and motioning for her to leave, as if dismissing her like a nuisance. We decided then to speak with a manager. The host said they'd get one. We waited 5-10 minutes. No one came. It was clear we weren't worth the time. When the dad returned, he was still going to tip the $20, but after hearing what happened, understandably changed his mind. Also, the atmosphere? Absolutely raunchy. It was 5PM on a Sunday and the music blasting had lyrics like "eat my f--ing p--y" on repeat. Even the teens gasped. We're not uptight, but it felt more like a strip club than a family restaurant. There were other families with younger children looking visibly uncomfortable. If I'd been alone or with small kids, I would've walked out. Bottom line? * Large parties? Don't bother. * Families? Not welcomed. * Diverse groups? Be prepared for bias and attitude. * Not ordering alcohol? You're a problem. * Thinking of tipping in cash? Better leave it fast or risk public shaming. Worst dining experience I've had in 9+ years living in LA. Contrary to our server's stereotype, we do dine out, and we do tip well. But this was just plain disgusting. We won't be back, and I strongly advise you to skip it too. read more

Dope spot. Bouncer was a genuine dude great at his job. Shoutout Jesse james! Keep killing it brother.

When there is no service or common sense, food must suck- I am in a wheelchair and went there with my small dog on my lap and put the dog on the floor and asked if I can have a to-go box with some water for my dog. I was told that they are not allowed to give water to dogs . Apparently there was no question about me bringing my dog inside the restaurant. It's just the dogs are supposed to remain thirsty while you eat. So I wheeled myself out of there. read more

Nice location in Santa Monica on the 3rd street Promenade... Service was good. We sat outside since the weather was nice. Food was ok.

Other food we had was good as well. read more

Really cool place with great vibes! They were playing super cool music the whole time and were a nice spot for dinner for my friends and I before we went to a movie. I got the Barneys classic burger with fries that was actually quite good and not overcooked which I usually expect from a casual restaurant. Service was good, nothing special but nothing to complain about! Overall worth a visit with friends for something fun and easy. Would love to come back and try some of the drinks sometime. read more

1st time was so so. Attempted to try again today and even worse. There 40 mins with no refills and no food yet 2 other tables that ordered when we did were already half way thru the meals. Went to the bar to notify them we were leaving so we paid for our 2 drinks and the bar tender responded with the waitress was on break so that might have not been communicated. No effort made to resolve the issue or make us feel the need to come back. read more

Barney's is conveniently located on the Promenade on Santa Monica Boulevard and one block south of the AMC movie theatre. Happy Hour is Monday - Friday 4 - 7 pm.

Barney's is a solid spot on the Santa Monica Promenade--especially if you're a sports fan. It's a great place to catch a game, with plenty of screens, good food, and even better service. Our waitress was super attentive, checking on us multiple times throughout our visit. I ordered a cappuccino (which was surprisingly great for a bar!) and a sandwich--both hit the spot. The atmosphere was energetic but not overwhelmingly loud, even for a Saturday, which made it easy to enjoy the game and have a conversation. I'd definitely come back to watch some college hoops and grab another bite. Wooo pig Sooie! read more

A Bar located in a very busy area of the 3rd St., Promenade. The food here is pretty good and I think there are a lot of offerings. I would say this is a good casual place to watch sports as there are lots of TVs everywhere and the space is pretty large. I came here to meet up with some friends to watch horse races and other sports at the same time. My buddy ordered some of the chicken tenders. I thought they were OK. Not bad but definitely something I wouldn't crave. We were here earlier in the day, and I would say the service is a little inconsistent. It really depends on who you flag down for a drink. The place wasn't that full, but I feel like one person almost actively tried to avoid eye contact on purpose whereas another bartender was super attentive and helpful. Overall, this place is solid. Definitely a fun, casual place to watch sports with groups. Just know that you're not gonna get excellent service or top-tier food. But all the above is pretty solid. read more

The short of it: Need a place to park your butt for a bit, while enjoying a cool beer and a burger? This is the place. The long(er) of it: It's the Beanery. Those of you who know the original will recognize this as a "son of the beanery" and it's a decent clone at that. The burgers and anything involving chili are the go to menu items. The rueben was "pretty good" according to my ex-wife (who paid for dinner, which was very nice of her). My son liked the chili-dog, and I enjoyed the turkey melt. The food is a few steps above adequate (for instance the cheese wasn't really melted on my melt), the onion rings were too oily, but the sweet potato fries were solid. So on food alone it's probably a 3-star ranking. The bar has a good selection of tap beers, and makes a good Moscow Mule (according to my ex-wife who, if I didn't mention it before, paid for dinner). The iced tea is also very good. Service was friendly and efficient. So, why 4 stars and not 3? It's the Beanery. It is what it is -- a place to hang out with friends (or even your ex-wife) and just relax, watch a game or just watch the other patrons (who can watch you back, and you can watch them... getting pretty philosophical here). Let me put it this way, the urinals in the me 's room are made from old beer kegs. (Oh, lord, I hope they are old.) Oh, and I did offer to pay for dinner, but my ex-wife insisted. read more
