    Cocktails at Boardners prior to an event next door.
    Rachel D.

    Service and staff are great. Dark cosy atmosphere. Food is so so, maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Drinks top notch! Fun

    espresso martini fire af

    So pleased with this hidden gem!!! Had reservations cancelled by the stupid Christmas bar around the block so walked over here. Ambiance and vibe is intimate but cozy, simple decor creates a backdrop for an elevated drink and food menu. Happy hour was offered from 5-8pm with discounted beer/wine/well and food. Got the espresso martini which tasted delicious and another cucumber/ginger and gin drink that was AMAZING. Drinks pack a PUNCH yet are well balanced and reasonably priced. Cocktails are extremely well curated and service was IMPECCABLE. Both bartenders there checked up on us and served us in a timely manner. Fried cauliflower and happy hour tacos were great! Brought with plates, napkins, silverwear, sauces, everything! Not a single thing lacking from the service. Definitely recommend and absolutely worth supporting.

    The bouncer that was screaming at women smaller than him and accusing of being drunk and refusing to let in even though I do not drink

    Awful environment if you are a woman The bouncers were extremely misogynist and would not even let us into the door and called me drunk, even though I do not drink alcohol. I really think you should avoid this club if you are a woman. I also think that these men should get some sort of consequence for the way that they treat the guests. Borderline hate crime honestly Also, when I said that I was afraid that the bouncer might hurt me because he was being very aggressive towards me. The other bouncer laughed and rolled his eyes at me. Very much treated me and my female friends like we were crazy women and they didn't even treat us like human beings It was honestly really sick and even made me hate my own gender for a second Apparently, the manager and the owner of this place is also immature so i'm not sure this problem will get fixed soon so steer clear

    Third Super Bowl in a row here. Food specials are always the best! And Cat delivers behind the bar!

    Opening at 5pm Boardners has become our local go-to for my husband and I as this was where our first date was. There is such a positive vibe to this place that makes me proud that this is the neighborhood I live in. The staff and patrons are artistic in every different type of cinematic field. Eli, Cat & Keenan are all equally amazing to us and always have been kind, consistent and fun to talk to. And can handle this sometimes very high volume barscape with ease. I recommend the entire menu but tend to ricochet between the steamed dumplings, the angel hair pasta and my favorite salad in town - their Cobb Salad - which happens to have been invented in Hollywood, so its nice that Boardners makes a solid one. Speaking of history, Boardners is that - from the classic Hollywood studio system era onwards this place has served the hard working people of the Motion Picture Industry and you can feel it. There is something special here that makes you want to stay the night, journal, meet new talented friends and enjoy the vibe as it opens up into a busy fun place. A true Actor & Musician hangout ! Every time I'm here I get into awesome conversation with talented and very funny people who are either writing their own content or just performed for the day on a set! The back courtyard is a great place to take guests who visit as it adds to the whole Hollywood vibe and hosts live music some nights and the acoustics are perfection for this.

    My first time here!

    Always wanted to try Boardner's since it's such a Hollywood institution! I am not the bar hopping type, but I like to find cool bars for a drink with friends here and there. Boardner's been around since 1942, many stars stopped by here for a drink, old Hollywood era stars like Errol Flynn, Ed Wood, Robert Mitchum (we sat in a booth under his signed photo, how cool!), Charles Bukowski, etc. They even shot a few scenes here for "Ed Wood", Tim Burton's movie, inside at the bar and outside. So we were early birds here (it opens at 5 pm) for my husband's birthday, eager to try their HH. It goes from 5pm to 8 pm. For beers, you save if you get bottled beer, we got a couple of Dos Equis on tap. Food is $7, so we tried their Nachos with carnitas, nice, fresh, smaller side, but full of flavor and ingredients (avocado, cheese, jalapenos, beans, sour cream, nice salsa), BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders (you get 2 and fries, which is a pretty good deal)- decent, the sauce was a tad sweet for me, but birthday boy liked it. We enjoyed a lot their street tacos, got the asada, nicely cooked steak, fresh ingredients. Great HH hour! Very nice service, the bartender couldn't be more welcoming and helpful, great staff in general. Water from the house (they have jugs with water and lemon on the side), clean restroom, they also have a nice outdoor area where they had some musicians playing. I loved their atmosphere, darkly lit, nice booths, old school Hollywood decor. They were playing decent music, 80's tunes. Don't love the TV-s here, it takes away from the mysterious vibe. The regulars are cool. They happened to have somebody who gathered a lot of people for their birthday and it was getting a tad too crowded, had to push and shove to get some attention that I needed to get out of my booth and use the restroom. So inconsiderate folks who ignored other patrons. That was the worst part, but it's just a thing of timing. I would come here again, enjoy the atmosphere, the food and the legends smiling from the wall. We need to preserve places like this around!

    Their version of an itemized receipt
    Leeana S.

    I usually love coming here for the music and vibes, but whichever bartenders were working the shift on the night of 11/25 for the club decades event overcharged me and my friends. If you're going to leave an open tab here- make sure you keep track of what they ring up on your card!! They don't give "itemized" receipts here so they just hand write your items down if you want. They charged us for 3 drinks we didn't even order. We had ordered 8 drinks total but they rung us up for 11 drinks. Unfortunately we didn't notice until we had gotten home because their tactic for writing receipts is so stupid that I didn't wanna waste my time breaking it down in the middle of the club. My mistake- now I know for future!

We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

We had reservations for 7:30pm, arrived around 7:15, and were seated almost immediately. Our waiter was incredibly nice and accommodating, especially when it came to adding an extra person to our party. I know a lot of restaurants aren't always willing to do that, so it was very appreciated. We also mentioned it was my birthday, and they truly went above and beyond to make the night special. We started with an appetizer, but unfortunately I think it may have been forgotten because we never received it. I was honestly really excited to try it, but even with that small issue, I still wasn't disappointed with the service at all. For drinks, I ordered the spicy margarita and WOW--it did not disappoint It had the perfect amount of spice and somehow made the margarita even better. For my main dish, I ordered the ribeye with potatoes, and when I say it was amazing, I mean it. The steak was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, juicy, and not dry at all. Easily a 10/10. I was so full I couldn't finish the last piece, but my brother-in-law happily took it because it was just that good At the end of the night, they brought out a glass for everyone to cheers to my birthday, along with a candle to celebrate me, which was such a sweet touch. Everything about the night felt special and memorable. I honestly wouldn't have wanted to celebrate any other way. I can't wait to come back for another spicy margarita and enjoy the atmosphere all over again

I had placed a phone order, for pick up; upon arrival, I found the service was prompt. I saw my food ready to go, just past the main walk-in area. Almost immediately after that, I was taken care of by the host and on my way. I've been waiting to try this place for ages so on the drive back to work I was excited to steal a piece of meat from the bag. Initial bite flavor was good, meat was tender just a bit on the chewy side.. I wasn't bothered by it too much as I'd have to leave it in an oven warmer at work. Trying to keep food warm, in doing so, I knew there'd be only two possible outcomes, melting tender or either tough & dry. So, the dish of meat and rice sat in the warmer for almost an hour hour and a half. The downhill slope.... Set the "meat " on the veggies and began to eat. Meat after meat, I kept experiencing the same exact texture. It was the same exact rubbery chew, I initially tasted. Each and every piece was the same exact flavor. There was no peak, there was no pitfall. If you cook or grill, you know this is a red flag. Normally, consistency would be a good thing, a Master craftsman type experience, but this was NOT it. As go on, I get the sinking feeling, this can't be real meat. I lock in, the deeper I dig, each piece looks the same, broken apart the same, tastes the same, just various shapes. They can call me crazy for this one - I'll stand by it. Something is not right here. I'm not even going to throw it away. I'm going to study it for the next few days and post an updated review. I hope I'm wrong but as of right now, I'll never revisit this place. Too freaky of an experience. We

Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

A small restaurant located inside this plaza in Beverly Hills that you would never know about unless someone told you. Every time I've been, the waiters, service and management have been so nice and come check on you constantly. There are several sections in the restaurant (I think 3 but I could be wrong), but we've dined in the main room which has a retractable ceiling for when it's too sunny out, they have a bar area that has a small little lounge section in the back of it, and it looks like there may be another section that I haven't been to. The place definitely gives off those Latin vibes and you feel it once you arrive. As for the food, my boss ordered appetizers for the table, which were shrimp tacos, flautas, and empanadas which were all very good! My favorite were the flautas with guac. For my main dish I went with the Chilean sea bass with a side of broccolini and rice. That sea bass was phenomenal! It had a nice sweet glaze on it with a very slit crisp texture on the top. One of the best! The Hideaway goes down as one of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills and I highly recommend checking it out. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

    I went to the most recent event at the Globe Theater in downtown Los Angeles. It was an amazing…read morevenue with a great second floor mezzanine. The live music was incredible, the guy playing the sax really knows how to jam. The dancers and musicians were performing together, and did several shows! There's this magical connection between a musician and a dancer that you see and feel as they improvise and work the crowd, the stage, and the whole venue. In between performances there was social dancing, with a lot of great dancers dressed to the nines. The birthday cake performance is something you got to see and experience, totally off the charts, like something you'd see in a movie! The final performance is with a giant martini glass. The girl dances around/in the glass filled with water and then pours champagne all over herself. One of the most wild over the top things I've ever seen! The energy and vibes were off the hook! I highly recommend this for couples that want a special date night, large groups that want a unique experience/entertainment, and people who want to celebrate their birthday in style.

    Sergio responded to my review with NOTHING BUT LIES…read more Nobody was brought on stage for a birthday surprise. They wheeled the woman out in a cake on the main floor so that's LIE #1. If you have SUPPOSED FOOTAGE of me receiving this birthday surprise then please post it!!! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE IT LIE#2. There were definitely not 10 acts and YES then entire chaotic mess of a show was only 15-20 minutes long!!! IF you have footage of a 90 minutes show then I'm sure you can post that as well LIE#3 The only thing Sergio didn't lie about is he didn't mention anything about the disgusting food and drinks I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT APPRECIATE ALL THESE LIES AND I HOPE NO ONE EVER WASTES THEIR MONEY ON THIS SHOW AGAIN!!!
