I love going to Lawless. I've often ended up here to watch important sports games like the World…read moreSeries or the World Cup. It's a great place to gather and drink with friends and friendly strangers. It's bigger than you think, too, since besides the main room it has a mezzanine, a private room near the bathrooms, and an outdoor patio area. While they don't serve food, there are always food trucks or other food vendors there. I also love the community events they put on. And social clubs even have meetups here. It's just good vibes all around. And honestly, every beer I've had here has been amazing. I recently had a sour that I loved. They also have slushies and nonalcoholic drinks. Their NA mojito was great when they had it. Only tough part is the parking but if the lot is unavailable, there's usually street parking in the neighborhood or across Vineland at the meters. Please keep being you, Lawless! ily

There is plenty of street parking around and the place is walkable. I visited this past Friday for the soccer game (Brazil Vs. Haiti) and noticed it was not extremely packed as it was the night prior (Mexico had won). Walked in and formed line to place my beer order. I went with "Big Screen Energy" IPA 8.2% imperial/double. I enjoyed this flavor so much that I ended up getting two more rounds later. Plenty of beer selection on tap and even wine. They offer indoor/outdoor seating as well as some space upstairs. Indoors they have a big screen, and the outdoor patio has a TV. Lastly, the upstairs area has a smaller TV. They also have rotating food trucks for anyone that develops hunger or cravings. They are pet and child friendly; very welcoming overall. I enjoyed visiting once again.

I often visit with my friends to watch a game and enjoy a bacon smash burger (this time I tried the chicken sandwich and it was good!) with fries and a Dublin Donkey, which I think is a Moscow Mule with rum. I'll need to verify that and get back to you. The place is always clean, they have a shuffle board and pool table, which usually has a game going on, and the bartenders and cooks are always super friendly. There are a bunch of TVs, so they can always switch to the game you want to watch. It's usually pretty empty during the weekdays but can get crowded on weekends with a live DJ spinning the joints (sometimes you can't even get from onside of the room to the other). Occasionally, they have a taco man and a food truck outside late at night. Overall, it's a great place to visit if you're not looking for a crazy scene, where everyone is respectful and greets you as they pass by your table. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

A hidden gem right in the middle of Chatsworth! I honestly never would have guessed a place like…read morethis existed--and it's been here for 12 years! The kitchen was closed during our visit, but the food truck parked outside came through and served us one of the best hamburgers we've ever had. Absolutely delicious! And then there's the beer . What a difference compared to the usual stuff we buy in bottles and cans. You can really taste the quality and freshness. Inside, there are darts and other games to play, plus plenty of TVs if you want to watch a game. Outside, there's a simple, comfortable patio with large tables, and there's plenty of parking . Great atmosphere, great beer, great burger, and a really cool local vibe. Thank you, guys! We'll definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I were invited to a graduation party takeover of Hand-Brewed Beer in Chatsworth…read morethis past weekend and I have to say, this place is fantastic! Located in a nondescript commercial park, HBB delivered on a variety of items, including some outstanding in house-produced beer, seltzer and some delicious homemade pizzas. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Tons of space at the bar, including several high and low-top tables and seating outside. There are several large flat screens showing local sports (Dodgers Baseball), as well as tons of board games, pinball machines and live event activities such as themed nights, live music and comedy. Also featured on this Saturday night was free live BINGO from 7-9pm, which made the event a lot of fun. The Honey Hand Blonde is fantastic! Deliciously smooth and really tasty. Some of the other local crowd favorites are Deez Nuts Brown Ale, Not a Giant Peach, and Eddie's Irish Stout. The in-house beers were great and worth exploring. Angie, the bartender, was so nice and let us try a few samples before ordering. The pizzas are delicious! Hot, fresh, great toppings and crust. A limited food menu, stick with a classic Cheese or Pepperoni, along with a Meat Lovers to enjoy with friends while watching sports or catching live entertainment. The bathrooms are gender neutral and clean compared to most Gastropubs, and there is a ton of free street parking out front. Loved the vibe and the team here, which hosted a great event for our small group. Great for parties, or watching a game, I recommend supporting Hand-Brewed Beer for some great brews and good ol' fashioned fun any night of the week.

My boyfriend and I found street parking in the area (parking in NoHo can be a challenge, but not impossible) and were welcomed at the bar. We ordered drinks and a tri-tip sandwich. The sandwich was SO good and I would order it again! Next time I might order some sauces for the side. The menu items all looked good and I enjoyed my cider. We also enjoyed playing some pool- they only needed an ID to get the balls and cue stick. This is an order-at-the-bar place. I'll definitely be back!

I came here for the first time for pop karaoke night, and it seemed like most of the people there…read morewere regulars who all knew each other. It's a small place and the decor didn't really feel like it matched the vibe, and the karaoke set-up was not very good. It was really hard to hear the backing music, even when you were the one singing, but this isn't the type of place that you come to "perform" for karaoke like a lot of other places in LA. It's very casual and low-pressure. Song choices were all over the place (which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing). Late night happy hour menu was decent and they offered it from 9pm on that night, and the place did get packed to standing room only. I had a hard time finding info on what their happy hour was before we went, so I took a picture to share. This was on 2/6/2026. The bartender, Brian, was very friendly, but I realized when looking at the emailed receipt afterwards that he switched one of my sibling's drinks on my tab, and I'm assuming mine got put on theirs. We have the same last name, so I understand the mix-up, but it would have been nice if he just asked about who was who instead of assuming, and it also would have been nice to see an itemized receipt before paying instead of just seeing the dollar amount we owed. Not a huge deal this time, just something that I hope they will keep in mind in the future. For food, my partner was able to get a pizza from a place across the street and bring it back into the bar, and Brian was kind enough to offer extra napkins. For other people with back problems, be aware that their bar stools do have back rests on them, but no cushions. We had a good time, and this bar seems to host special events regularly, which we may go back for eventually if the right one comes up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here.

This place has been open for about 8 months according to the owner Brandon…read more Very quaint bar with various entertainment throughout the week. They serve craft beers and wine. No food is served at this establishment. Limited seating but plenty of space for a nice small crowd. You can actually do tastings here as well. There is street parking.

Now the real reason I keep coming back; the AMAZING staff. Justin, Bobby, Adam, Michael, Gabby, Josh, Luis, Leo and Taylor. They are all such great people who really care about their job and customers. The whole staff is so professional and knowledgeable on their beers. They are always excited to explain the types of beers on tap to new customers and welcome everyone in. Shadow grove is so lucky to have such a great team behind the counter.

That being said, the service is always kind of hit or miss depending on the day. I've also tried a lot of their beers that they offer, and I still find myself searching for something just a tiny bit lighter than their current selection. I haven't really found one here yet that fully hits the spot for me. Overall though, the food keeps us coming back. Plus they have a lovely outside area that you can hangout at.. and who doesn't love that?

Everyone is literally there to have a good time, doing their own thing. Like I want to say, this is a safe place (?) I don't think I've ever used those words to describe a bar before! There's an entire wall of board games for you to choose from. We played about 3 or 4 games? And each one had all the pieces, amazingly! This just goes to show you that the people that visit this establishment respect and care for the games, which is a reflection on the clientele itself. And of course, you're welcome to bring your own game as well. We got there a bit after opening so we were able to get one of the multi seater tables. When we left at 3PM, the place was packed! The bar seats were all taken and the outside seating was pretty filled too. So be sure to get here early if you're looking for a table. Got an order of the chicken tenders and sweet potato tots. The chicken tenders was alright. But the sweet potato tots were delicious! We also ordered drinks. The food didn't take long and the staff was friendly. Parking is strictly street parking. So don't go parking at the KFC lot next door. Honestly, this place is great! Check it out if you're looking for a spot to chill and hang out! Good people and good vibes all around!
