I spend most of my 20's here back in the 80's and have amazing memories. Going out dancing and drinking and then Beans after 2 am. Now I'm in bed by 10 pm. WTH. Time flies young ones, enjoy! I have a menu from 1983.. a pitcher of beer was $3.75 and a burger was huge with fries and was $2.80. Miss those prices. Chilli and cornbread $1.50. read more

Came on a karaoke night just before they started at 10pm. There was no line when we came, but a long line formed shortly after. Karaoke was every Wednesdays and Sundays from 10pm to 1am. They had Trivia nights on Tuesday at 9pm. Happy Hours appeared to be from Mondays through Fridays from 4pm to 7pm. They don't skimp out on the liquor. The bartenders were nice. We put our names in the karaoke pool when it opened at 10pm. We were like the 5th on the list. We kept waiting near the karaoke area for our turn. People kept going up to sing. When it became 11:30pm we went up to the karaoke host and asked what was going on. He told us we were 9th in line. Saw on his screening that people who sang all tipped him $10 to $20. Apparently, you had to "tip" to sing. Seemed like this place is all about $$ and you have to pay to get ahead. read more

Yo I just gotta remind myself stop coming instead of having amnesia every week thinking it'll be different. The latest is security just stood there while some kid got beat to a pulp which sounds right. I have a guard card and nothing stops us from calling the cops so there's that. Idk what is up with security team here. Well I do actually. You slip them stuff and you can pass the line it's one of those. It is WeHo after all. Same goes for karaoke nights with the DJ. If you wanna play pool in the area you'd have better luck driving to Crenshaw than here. Even if you get the table expect everyone to act totally surprised at their table when your pool stick gets in their face. This will happen at all three pool tables it's just inescapable. Outside the patio is nice I'll say. Most of my entertainment comes from here. Not from the TVs but just observing who comes here and the door process. You will learn a lot about WeHo just by stationing yourself at the patio bar watching the entry process. I usually just sit there and talk to between zero and one person if I go but I think I've seen it all at this point. You'll have fun if you're literally new to bars I guess. read more

Came here for food and drinks on a Thursday night and the atmosphere was very lively. It happened to be trivia night and a lot of people were participating and having a great time. Everything felt well organized. I was in the mood for a simple cheeseburger and even though it wasn't on the menu, our server was able to make it happen. She was very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed, and checked in on us consistently throughout the night read more

I'm familiar with Barney's in Pasadena but never knew about a weho location! A bartender from a different bar told my bf and I to check it out and we walked right over on a Friday night. It was packed! We were greeted with the Fugees playing and I was feeling the vibe. The drinks? Insanely strong. It's still a great cheap thrill to get a buzz and maybe go somewhere else afterward so I have no complaints. read more

This is my first Yelp review for Barney's Beanery for any of their locations (been to Pasadena and Redondo Beach as well), but West Hollywood is the one I've been to the most and have had so much fun there over the years. It's a loud and boisterous place, but always fun. I love that it hasn't changed much over the years, the paper menu, the decor, the collage tables. On this day, I tried their BLAT (BLT with avocado) and it was delicious. There is a new Barney's sauce, which is a little spicy, but I like it. Plus the fries have some cajun spice, similar to Five Guys. Son still favors Five Guys fries and did not really like the Barney's sauce on his burger, but I liked it. Service was fine, I've never had problems with service at Barney's. Other customers is a different story, but it is a bar after all. read more

I've been to Barney's twice in the last 2 months and I must say, each time it disappoints. I know it's an iconic spot but the food isn't great, the beer selection could be better and I feel like they need better screens to show the games Especially having gone there for a World Cup game. The food and drinks took forever to arrive and it wasn't even that busy. read more

Been coming here for years now and recently had the worst experience with a male bartender. White guy serving at the bar on Sunday night refuses to give my friends and I water because he claims we "just got there and have to order something" when we were there for literally 3 hours and spent over $70 on our tab earlier in the night. So, after going back and fourth, I called him weird for accusing us of lying and refusing to serve us water, then he goes off on us... I've never had an experience like this at Barney's before and definitely made my friends and I not want to come back when this has been our go-to spot for years now ... @ Barney's, maybe get rid of that bartender ! He's terrible customer service and disrespectful to women and loyal regulars! read more

The white guy bartender is so incredibly mean for no reason. Never in my life have I experienced someone like him who is supposed to be wanting tips? I also saw him strategically ignore black and brown people. Over and over. The blonde woman bartender sees how he acts and is just complicit. I get that it's a dive bar but come onnnn. We just wanted to have a good time. They need new bartenders desperately. Just cruel. For what? Hire some staff who are kind and fun. Please. read more

If you live in LA then you know about Barney's. I visited for the first time a few weeks ago with my friends to grab a bite, drinks, and play some pool. The space is great, has a really cool vibe to it. They have 3 pool tables, basketball, shuffleboard, air hockey, foosball, and an arcade machine. Ample seating as well. The food was actually really good and exceeded our expectations. Drinks are good as well. Wait staff aren't super friendly but security and bartenders are nice. Overall it's a nice place to come by and hang out with friends. Lively, crowded, and loud on a Saturday night but if that's what you're looking for - Barney's is the place to be! read more

Built in 1920, I spent quite a few evenings here in the 80's drinking beer, shooting pool and eating from their enormous menu. My wife and I were participating in CicLAvia and we stopped in for a beer..... our first visit in 30+ years. It looks identical outside of the nicer TV monitors. Good to see some things never change. read more

Decent food, but way over priced. One pitcher and glass of wine was $77. The suggested tip turned it into $100. It's a sports bar vibe place with extreme pricing. read more

The ORIGINAL Barney's Beanery, what can I say? I've come here since before the pandemic; I also have visited the santa monica and burbank location. However, this location exceeds all the other locations. I couldn't point my finger as to why, but I can see CLEARLY why. The service is great, as well as the food! I've come before and usually only ordered drinks since they have a great selection on tap! However, this past Friday night, I decided to come here after work with some coworkers; we opted for appetizers and drinks! We were seated at a booth by the hostess and greeted by our lovely server named Morgan! She was attentive to my table and recommended some food items. The place is pretty spacious, maybe bigger than what I remembered. They had a screen projector that was playing the NBA game, they had a pool table, and some cool arcade games located in the back next to the restrooms. Overall, I had a great experience here thanks to our server morgan and AJ! read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and appetizer at this iconic bar. The place is really cool inside and you can just feel the history of it. I had the boo bear cocktail which was good and I'd drink it again. The chips and guac were ok but the fried pickles were real delicious, strong recommendation for them. The service was good but we were there for only a little bit so I can't comment too strongly on it. read more

Barney's Beanery - Fried Pickles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Hollywood, California

This is always a top-priority stop for our family when we hit LA! It's more about nostalgia than anything else, but the food definitely delivers. Every menu item comes in massive portions, ordering a club sandwich means a gigantic plate of sandwich and fries, and the fish and chips are just as generously sized. Outdoor seating is awesome, and even the downstairs indoor space has a fun, lively vibe. Every visit sparks some kind of conversation starter, which really gets everyone hyped about being in LA. The food itself is very solid for a bar-style environment. Don't miss the wedge fries, they're ridiculously good and far superior to the regular fries. Big portions, fun atmosphere, and classic SoCal vibes make Barney's Beanery a must try! read more

Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood is a historic, lively, and casual landmark (open since 1920) known for its eclectic, rock-n-roll atmosphere, featuring license plates on the walls, pool tables, and extensive comfort food (chili, burgers). It's a crowded, noisy, and popular spot to watch sports. A historic hangout for icons like Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, it retains a rock-n-roll, rebellious, and welcoming vibe that now attracts a mix of Gen Z, influencers, and longtime patrons. Known for a massive menu featuring chili, burgers, wings, and breakfast, along with over 40 beers on tap. read more

We were in the area late on Thursday night, so we decided to stop by Barney's Beanery at around 10:30pm. I've been to the location in Santa Monica many times, but I'd always wanted to check out the original historic location. You seat yourself at whatever table you can find, and it was pretty packed but we didn't have trouble finding a table. People were sitting and leaving tables constantly throughout the night so I don't imagine you would ever have to wait too long on a Thursday at least. The crowd is definitely on the younger side and I'm 36, but I felt like a senior citizen, older by everyone by at least 10 years lol. It's a packed, loud, rowdy type of place with music blasting...not really my thing anymore but it definitely reminded me of the places I would to go in my twenties. The food was just ok... and it seemed like we were the only ones that ordered anything more than an appetizer. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, nachos with chicken, and carne asada fajitas. The only thing I really liked were the mozzarella sticks, and if I ever do come back here at such a late hour, I would probably stick to items from the appetizers menu. Service was a little slow to get started, but once we started ordering food and drinks, the server would come by regularly to check up on us. The server was definitely overwhelmed with people constantly flagging her down, but she remained friendly and I never got any sass from her so job well done. They could definitely use some more help though. Like I said, not really my type of place anymore, but I can't say I didn't enjoy myself...especially once the drinks started flowing. read more

I don't review a lot because I worked at bars for a long time and I always thought these reviews could be extremely unfair. I sat at the bar last night for a pint and my nostrils are still burning the next day from the amount of mold at the bar. I am only writing this so management sees and can get this handled. It is very very bad. I feel bad for the bartenders who have to work through this. Everything else is as good as expected. Lively group of patrons, quick bartenders. But you have to do something about the mold at the bar. It's not safe for your employees or patrons. Like I said I worked at bars for a long time, add it to the closing duties to set up floor fans under the bar overnight to dry it out, do a deep clean - there is definitely something to be done. I will delete this if you promise to do something. read more

Was walking down the street and just stumbled upon this place. Was greeted with smiles and having the door held open for my boy friend and I. We both said, "this is our kind of place" at the same time. Cozy feeling. Pool and other games. Enough variety of food to accommodate most peoples taste buds. We started off with the mac and cheese wedges. Substituted ranch for the marinara. They were everything I was thinking they would be. Crispy batter, not oily. The macaroni tasted perfect. 100% will get again. For our meals I got the Nashvile Spicy Chicken Sandwhich and my boy friend got the Classic Club Sandwhich. Both with the steak fries. We traded quarters of eachothers sandwiches to be able to taste them both. The chicken sandwhich was good. I ordered a side of the Chipotle mayo to dip the fries in, it came in handy with the sandwhich as well. It was a better quality version of what you'd get at a fast food that's for sure. The Club was a standard classic. I'm a saucy girl, so I put the Chipotle mayo on it as well. To end the meal we got the churro waffle dessert with a cup of coffee. The coffee was warm but still drinkable. And I thought the waffle would have had more of a cinnamon churro vibe to it. The ice cream came with chunks of ice in it, not what you'd usually expect. Overall the place was inviting, staff was friendly and looked like they enjoyed being there. We left full and with some to enjoy later. I feel like the food is worth about $3-$5 cheaper then it is. We will go back and try some other items when in town again. read more

A bit of warning. I usually go to the three Barney's in L.A. Westwood, West Hollywood and the Pasadena locations. Today I came into the West Hollywood location after 1:30 p.m. I usually order one of the best Onion Soups in L.A. to start off, then I will select one of the other good items they have on there menu. So after my soup I order today the chili cheeseburger. I knew there would be a problem after getting the order way after 15 minutes yes they were busy today but still no reason to get Chili,burger and fry cold. Otherwise everything else was very good the staff was extra nice. The ambiance was great except for one loud mouth drunk. Not Barneys fault at all definitely a place to come and hang out at I will still come back. best beer selection here. read more

Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay for "Pulp Fiction" here. This was the last place Janis Joplin was at right before her death. Desi Arnaz and William Frawley got into a heated argument here. Jim Morrison, uh, let's not go there.... This place is one of West Hollywood's true landmarks that has lots of celebrity stories. Barney's Beanery has lots of history itself, as the original owner would give food away to those he felt sorry for, or he would get your license place in return. You just gotta look around and scope the place out. Ask the server about the history, for real. Some everyday regulars who sit at the bar even told me a few things as well. I came here hungry so I got the Dagwood, which was on the lunch specials menu. Came with fries. I asked the server for a small version of their famous chili and she added it to the order. The Dagwood burger was great as it had bacon and a fried egg on it. Wish I had gotten one of their loaded fries options but wasn't ready to pay $18 for it. Maybe next time! Their chili also has variations like hotter versions. Again, maybe next time. Goes without saying I want to come back sometime. Barney's Beanery is just off Santa Monica Boulevard (Route 66). It also celebrates its status on the Mother Road. While I understand some people would get intimidated on the always busy SMB, I would highly recommend checking this place out! As far as parking, they do have a private lot in the back, but very limited. Just park at the garage a couple blocks down on Kings. It's actually cheap but if you don't mind walking a bit, then there you go. read more

I remember this place from it's hey-day. I started going to the original place on Santa Monica Blvd back in the early 80's. If you are looking for that old place forget about. It's totally changed and a mere shell of it's former self. The food is OK at best and the bar is loaded with flat screen TV's. It's kind of pricey too. Parking is almost non existent. Valet parking is a joke. read more

Went tonight with some castmates and had a wonderful time! The doorman and security guard were very friendly, which is kind of rare in La in my experience. Our server, Johnny, was tops! Our group of 4 was originally sitting at a tiny booth and we had one more person show up (who was awkwardly sitting in the booth behind us since there was no room at our table). I inquired about possibly getting a bigger table, but the joint was pretty packed so it was like a no worries moment. But Johnny saved the day by politely asking a couple who was at the one bigger table if they would switch and they obliged! (Yassss to nice forking people). My only gripe is that it was deafeningly loud inside...the speakers were peaking so hard...but overall, would 100% go back! Side note...if anyone who goes there knows the girl in the fancy cowboy hat...I need to know more...if you know, you know. read more

We love coming here to watch the rainfall outside while sitting in a nice cozy booth and playing some pool. We always get there right when they open to get our favorite booth. Brittany started us off and then Madeline took care of us the rest of the day. Excellent service. I was famished so decided to try one of their pizzas and the pepperoni was delicious. He had a burrito and we both forgot to take pictures until we were halfway done. We were so hungry lol. A ton of cool games in the back of the restaurant and very interesting decor. Keeps one entertained just looking around at everything. Lunch menu has decent prices on it. Overall and enjoyable experience! read more

Pro-tip: Good luck Parking on the street. There is a parking lot around the corner -- flat rate of $5 after 6, but you must leave by midnight. Barney's is open until 2:00 am, so keep that factoid in mind. Another random and important fact: the demographics have recently undergone a major paradigm shift. Thanks in part to a plug-in by major social influencer -- at night (and especially on karaoke Wednesdays), this place is the new 'it.' Sometimes the line stretches around the corner. So be prepared to wait 30-45 minutes to enter the premises. Once in, it's super crowded. You're gonna be shoulder to shoulder. You will see a phalanx of super rowdy 20 something year olds. This place is absolutely lit, and one of , if not the hottest places in all of Weho on a Wednesday evening. The original Hollywood staple. Back in the day, Quentin Tarantino was rumored to write his legendary scripts here. The alpha and omega of Hollywood bar food, Barney's got that feral throwback to a simpler time: menus are of physical form, and the items are curated newspaper style. And for those that don't know what a newspaper is, it's a literary medium and a relic of ancient times when people were informed of current events on paper, rather than a smart phone. Now, I frequent their sister restaurant Q's Billboards in Brentwood and I was worried the classic Barney's Burger would resemble that of Q's. But it didn't, and that's a good thing. Because unfortunately, their spin-off doesn't live up to the original. At Barney's, the fries are seasoned. The burger is juicy, and has a certain sweetness (relish or sauce) that truly makes this a worthy bar burger. 5/5 read more

I had stopped in at Barney's Beanery, a West Hollywood landmark location, for lunch and left extremely satisfied . I ordered Fish and Chips which I found to extra ordinarily delicious. The fish fillets were meaty and very moist. The badder was crispy and flavorful. The chips were true English style chips, cut wide perfectly cooked crisp on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. Included in the order was a fresh mixed lettuce salad with really tasty blue cheese dressing. Service was excellent and the eclectic decor of the restaurant all contributed in providing an enjoyable dining experience. read more
