Ya'll, this here is a gem! You go in and there's none of that pretentious bs. Don't got to worry about others judging you. 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! read more

Not bad. It's sort of a niche bar, but it is welcoming enough. The food is completely inadequate, but nobody is perfect. Pricey. Friendly. Decent cocktails. read more

Loved this place! Cool place to come with friends and try out new board games. They had like 100 different games to play. Good menu and drinks as well. read more

Awesome spot to bring friends for a board game night. Drinks were great and I tasted some cocktails that I'd never tried before. The chareau-dingers cat was amazing. Paintress was delicious. Garlic fries, Brussels spouts, Mac and cheese, and chicken strips were all incredible. What a fun night! read more

Shoutout to my bestie Marc for taking us here! Dropped by last night after work for some food, drinks, and overall good company. Lots of street parking! Walked in and to our table all the way in the back that our friends had already reserved. It wasn't too busy when we got there around 6 but it surely picked up quick and soon it was a full house. The decor is super cute!! Got that video game theme vibe all around and they also have an outdoor patio that can be reserved for larger parties and events! You order everything up at the bar and they will bring it to your table. I went for the smash burger and their house chips, fantastic combo. The chips are AMAZING. Super crispy, perfectly salted, and could eat it all night. The burger was perfectly cooked but definitely heavy! I was halfway and had to give the rest to my friend lol. The drinks are great, not too strong and fun with the video game theme! I wasn't in the mood to drink so I got the Heart Container mocktail which was perfect! Love anything with coconut cream. I also tried a bit of the Pumpkaboo cocktail and for someone who doesn't like bourbon, this was fantastic. Perfect fall cocktail and will definitely be getting it again next time. Staff are very friendly, shoutout to Mia for taking care of us! We played DnD: Dungeon Mayhem and it is our new fav lol. The garlic fries, sweet potato tots, and house chips were definitely my faves. Great spot overall with plenty of seating, tons of games to choose from, and lots of TV's that stream a variety of Twitch streamers (can even request). Looking forward to coming back more often!

GuildHall - Wedge salad, and a great drink! - Beer Bar Near Me - Burbank, California

I don't normally write my reviews until after I've left, but today I'm writing as I eat and drink. GuildHall, OMG!? I found this place on Yelp because I needed a place to come hang out before my flight out of Burbank. I'm going to cut to the chase, The service is Impeccable!! Now on to the only thing that really matters... Their Crunchy Chicken Strip served with Buffalo sauce and their own homemade Ranch dressing.... my eyes rolled back, seriously, they did. WOW!! If you don't come here, you're pretty much telling yourself that you don't deserve Great cocktails and Crunchy Chicken Strips!! I've never had a better strip..... NEVER!! Great job guys!! I told the bartender I was still contemplating ordering another round of Strips and he went back into the kitchen and grabbed me a fresh out of the frier, chicken strip, just to entice me. I don't foresee a future where I don't come back over and over again. Collin & Max THANK YOU!! I'LL BE BACK! read more

GuildHall - Beer Bar Near Me - Burbank, California

Guild Hall is a great nerd spot in Burbank. Great drinks, great beer selection and great food. Walls have classic video game art out back in the covered outdoor seating area. Bar service is always fast and attentive. Food service can be a little on the slow side. Street parking across the street. Use the crosswalk to get over and don't attempt Frogger as it's a busy street. read more

For gamers, board game aficionados, and casual guests alike, Guildhall is as much of a great gastropub as it is a very welcoming space for those who like a bit of geekiness with their nights out. As someone who loves video games, it was awesome to see streamers being broadcast on the gastropub's televisions and images of Smash Bros. characters adorn the outside patio area. As a "Legend of Zelda" fan, I geeked out at a replica Master Sword being hung by one of the larger TVs and I definitely treated myself to a "Heart Container" mocktail which was a pleasant, sweet blend of coconut cream, lemon, and pineapple juice. Other than having a great selection of board games, Guildhall provides enough table space to play those games as well as other forms of games. I love how inviting Guildhall was in the sense that it's built to encourage people to sit down, stay, and have some fun with friends. It also helps the food here is pretty good as well as I thought the sweet potato tater tots were some of the best I've ever had...and the garlic fries were pretty darn good as well! Overall, it's really nice to be at a place where a big, diverse crowd of people are coming to have wholesome fun with their friends. Seldom have I gone to any drinking or eating establishment and felt so many positive vibes. Consider me a customer for life! read more

Pretty cool premise having a full bar/ food menu while having a space to play a variety of different board games that aren't just monopoly. I got the Chareau-Dinger's Cat cocktail which was very fresh and delicious as well as a side of fries and their brussel sprouts. Everything tastes great especially the sprouts. The inside is on the smaller side so if it's winter being outside can get a little chilly if you don't get next to a space heater. Only thing keeping this from a full 5 stars would be how small the cocktails are for the price point, not really a fan of that. (note: the picture I posted is not the full drink as I'd already had a couple sips before taking it) read more

From the moment I entered Guild Hall, I was blown away by the hospitality of the staff and vibrant atmosphere. I was impressed by the full bar and themed monthly specials. As for the food, the smash burger was a win paired with their mixed green side salad with citronette. Tater tots and garlic fries were good sizes to share with the table. The menu is inclusive of vegetarian and vegan options. I had a great time playing Labyrinth with my friends and I can see many more fun game nights at Guild Hall. For parking, we found residential street parking without any trouble which is always a plus. read more

Such a great variety of games! Wonderful staff and energy. Highly recommend for birthdays!

What a cool vibe! We enjoyed the walls of games and big space. People everywhere were playing lots of different games and enjoying food and drinks. It's a counter order and deliver to the table situation, so little interaction with the staff, but everyone was friendly. I liked the food, smash burger and veggie platter. read more

Wait why are the chicken tenders lowkey the best in LA?! Friendly ambience and bartenders. Great specials!

Very cute little board game house/bar. They serve lots of different cocktails, beers, and drinks. Most nonalcoholic options are just soda, Arnold Palmer, and not many others. The alcoholic drinks selection is pretty extensive. They have a variety of light bites or real meals depending on what you're looking for. They have a bookcase filled with lots and lots of amazing board games - from easy party games to longer more intensive games. People working here are super helpful and sweet. Parking was free and easy in the side streets. They have a gender neutral restroom that was spacious and clean. Lots of large tables for big groups to play board games + a bar area for chatting. The group I came with ordered chips, fries, charcuterie, tots, mac n cheese, burgers, and various drinks. read more

Great fun atmosphere for locals or any and all around. Drinks are a bit pricey but good quality. I got three cocktails and my tab came up to $75 so just be prepared. Food is decent here with basic bar foods. Plenty of board games to choose from to play with friends and family. Definitely a very sociable atmosphere with an indoor and outdoor seating. Service feels pretty limited to only the bar back. They do have restrooms here which is always a plus. Definitely a fun little bar to hit up if you want to try something different. read more

They ain't ever got any damn space here! Parking or inside! I mean damn! Can't a brother get a charcuterie board on a Thursday at 8pm smh fr

I will always recommend this place because you can play games, they always have some new drink/food items in rotation with a theme and the staff genuinely seems like they enjoy working there and the vibes trickle down from there. Plus they have their brand melted into the ice! read more

GuildHall - Beer Bar Near Me - Burbank, California

If you're a "nerd" for games, then this might be the place for you. For everyone else, here's somethings to know: There's no parking...street parking only but hard to find. There's parking but it's reserved for KFC only. All their transactions (ordering food, paying bill, getting drink refills) are done at the bar. After you order, you'll be given a number to seat yourself and someone will bring out your food for you but that's the extend of their service. Pretty much everyone who was there is there for the games so I wouldn't go there if you wanted to have a table to yourself to enjoy a nice meal. It's also very noisy...understandably with a lot of louder discussions over gaming. The food itself was "meh". the burger was small, nothing special about their potato chips, the sweet potato hash browns were okay...very small and not filling at all. Definitely meant for just a quick snack and the drinks were okay. read more

This place can fill up even on a Monday. While maybe you don't need to go early on a Monday, I'd definitely go early if it's on the weekend and you want a table inside. They have only one working heater outside and it doesn't heat up the entire back patio. Probably the only bar around around that offers board games, I hope it definitely stays around! They don't care how long you stay from what I've noticed. They have a decent selection of beers, cocktails, and food. Definitely a chill vibe over there. read more

Really great bar to be at with friends and play some games. The drinks are good and the food is surprisingly great for bar food.

If your love boards games and needing out then this is your place. This spot has many board games to choose from or you can bring your own. FYI if you are wanting to play a game that requires a big table I would suggest coming before sundown as I saw it was pretty busy during dark. They have a full bar with multiple beers to choose from and they offer food. I didn't come here to eat just to play so I just enjoyed the beer they had to offer. They have outdoor seating with good size table to play as well. Only small complaint is that they have one register which can cause a big line at times. Would definitely come back again. read more

Cool spot and definitely a great place for groups! There are dozens of board and card games here, and with the drinks named after anime, cartoon or movie characters, this place truly is a comfortable abode for all kinds of nerds. The drinks here are tasty -- I ordered a Dragon Ball-themed beverage that came with rum, passion fruit and other ingredients I can't remember lol. I didn't taste the alcohol in my beverage; it just tasted like a refreshing juice. But oh boy, toward the end of my beverage, I could feel a slight buzz from it. Since I went late at night, I noticed some people parked in the KFC parking lot next door. I didn't want to risk and ticket or anything if the sort, so I parked on the street next to the KFC. I had no issue finding parking there read more

This is great bar to gather with friends for some games! If you don't have your own games, they have plenty to share! I come here often with my fiancé who enjoys Magic The Gathering. The staff is soo incredibly kind and amazing! Big shout outs to all of them! The cocktails and cuisine are worth getting as well! The "Cactuar" is my favorite drink there! read more

Every time I come in it feels like I'm walking into a friend's house for game night. This is a hub of nerd activity in LA. Be warned--it does get a bit crowded on the weekends, so get there early if you want to score a table. When it comes to the menu (for drinks and food), there are no wrong choices, but I'd personally recommend the sweet potato tots. Trust me. read more

Guildhall is a fun little, nerd-friendly gastropub in Burbank. It has a wall of board games and table top games you can play as well as E-sports and stuff like that playing on the TVs. It almost fills the hole left by the closing of Game Haus during the pandemic (god, I miss that place). Although, slightly different vibes for sure. Their drink menu is pretty extensive but I just ordered a high noon this time. Also got the Impossible Burger. It was pretty good, but not great. Their menu is very small, so it would be nice to see a few more entrees, especially veggie-friendly ones. The garlic fries were good though. Stayed for around 2 hours and played games. It can be kind of difficult to get a table here, unless you don't mind sitting outside on the back patio. That's where most of the seating is, but not ideal during cold or rainy days, although it is covered. The bartenders are super friendly here. And there are a lot of regulars. Great for small groups or even date night if you like games. Parking is limited; mostly street parking. read more

This place is awesome! Who knew Nerds knew how to party?. Going in , I knew this bar was strictly board games, gaming, and geeks. What I didn't know was everyone in here would drink me under the table. As soon as I walked in some girl yelled " UNO" to her date while slamming the card down. I'm a fan , lol. You won't find sports here. You will find people just hanging out having a good time. I sat at the bar and ordered a couple specialty drinks , beer, and a chicken sandwich. The drinks were stiff and the chicken sandwich was delicious . The bartender was attentive and friendly. Very welcoming. Also worth mentioning the napkins were the best in the business. They were like bath towels. Never came across napkins so thick. Only bummer was there was no music. I would have stayed longer but I could only take so much watching Legend Of Zelda and listening to the table next to me argue over Who sank who's Battleship. read more

Spent a few hours here with friends eating, drinking & playing board games - the perfect Saturday outing! The old fashioned was delicious & there was a good beer list so everyone found something to their liking. Smash burger was solid - big enough to share. We also tried the garlic fries (not pictured) and they were great. My favorite item was the brisket Mac & Cheese! We added the onions but tbh I think I would have preferred it without. Now on to the games! They have a whole wall of options so we played a few old reliables (Rummikub, Scattergories + Sushi Go) and tried a new-to-us ones like Made Up Movies. Fun times. We got there at like 4:30 and had our pick of tables. By the time we left at like 8 it was packed! Definitely get there early to secure a table. read more

This place is a hit. I had no idea how popular it was. Came to celebrate a friends birthday. Plenty of board games. People are ordering food and drinks. One bathroom. Music and socializing. We had a group of about 6-8 that were all seated around one table. There were a good amount of people inside. While my mac n cheese wasn't amazing, I think I'd have it again. The Impossible burger was basic as well. Again, this place is a solid good time. Parking is your usual LA experience but plenty of free street parking shouldn't be hard to find read more

This is a great place to play board games, drink, and hang out. Don't miss out on the food either. We were pleasantly surprised on how good the charcuterie board was. We ended up finishing the whole thing - nothing was left! Parking can be a hassle. Either park on the street or in the neighborhood close by. There's no parking lot for the bar. Seating can be hard to get, especially during the busy hours. The place is casual and the staff is super friendly. Would recommend the "Dear Friend" if you're looking for a sweet drink. It's cool that they also offer their drinks as mocktails. Also to note, there is only one bathroom. It's gender neutral and super clean, but prepare to wait if needs be. read more

Worth the try: tomato soup Tip: Come early! This place gets busy, especially on weekends, and it can be difficult to grab a table indoors. Bonus tip: Don't skip out on the food! You wouldn't expect a place like this to have good food but everything we had was actually great! Probably some of the best bar food I've had, affordable too. Tomato Soup: creamy, flavorful tomato soup served with 2 pieces toasted cheesy garlic bread. Hits the spot on a cold day. Smash Burger: burger with two beef patties, two slices of american cheese, mixed greens, onions, pickles, smash sauce, on a brioche bun. Simple and delicious. Sweet Potato Tater Tots: crispy tots with lemon zest and parsley, served with harissa aioli sauce. Yum!! PARKING: Limited parking, you may have to find street parking in a nearby neighborhood. SERVICE: Bartenders and servers are super friendly and are quick to clear and clean your table. ATMOSPHERE: Lively spot, ample indoor and outdoor seating but does get busy since people tend to hang around and play games. They put livestreams on the TV and there's a huge wall of board games available for the public to play. People even bring their own games to play here! My partner lives nearby and we drive by this place ALL the time. Whenever we see it, there are ALWAYS tons of people! We were looking for something chill to do on a Friday night and finally decided to give this place a try. We walked over around 7pm and all of the indoor tables were already taken, but we got lucky with a group who was just leaving. We ordered some food and drinks which came out quickly. By 8-9pm, the place was packed and the bar line grew long. We played a few games from the wall like Uno and Bananagrams. Would love to come back and try out some of the other games. Highly recommend checking this spot out for a chill night out with friends. Great way to try new board games as well! read more

Good food, love the gaming ambiance, plenty of seating. Great hang out spot for board, card, or just general gamers

Another great hang in SFV!!! Located next to the KFC on Victory Blvd & Hollywood Way. *Small parking lot in between KFC and Guildhall. Otherwise, plenty of free street parking on Pepper St and Victory. Love the energy and friendly staff! Collin shakes up a mean Margarita on the rocks. "No salt" for this girl. Sorry peeps. Nice and strong. No scrimping on the alcohol. Someone wrote they water their drinks down. Ah, no! Not true! Fellow patrons were super friendly like Kyle at the bar. A mixed group of generations but mostly Gen X, Z and Millennials:). Me, not saying my gen...Ha! I love all gens! They love to gather here and play games. A whole bunch of board games are stacked in a book case that expands across the wall in between the kitchen and the back room. Everything on the menu is delicious. Service is quick and with a smile! I had the chicken sandwich, garlic fries. My friend had the side salad and roasted tomato soup. They have an outdoor patio as well. When the weather gets warmer I will be chilling out there. *Moderate prices *21 and up *Gamers dream bar stop *Stress free parking read more

Guildhall is such a neat spot! They have a ton of board games and lots of seating options. I came here with a friend with our dogs to sit at the patio area in the back. It was nice! The food options were kind of fun. I need to come back for drinks and games. When we were here, it was the middle of a random day and it was not very busy. The employee we saw was very kind and absolutely on top of it! I'd recommend checking this place out with or without your pets! read more

F'n Awesome!!! (Fantastic N Awsome) ;) I love the vibes here... cool, mellow staff and patrons. The food is good. The menu has evolved and is definitely catered toward the customers... which makes sense. The ambiance is great. There are a ton of board games (or bring your own) to enjoy with your friends (or mortal enemies) for an epic battle of a little skill and a lot of luck combined. A lot of TV's and there is an outside patio to take advantage of if you so choose. The tables fill up and are occupied for extended periods of time due to the nature of the business. One of my local stops, and... I will return as always. Enjoy!!! #jsho read more

A bar with themed cocktails, good food, and board games? Say less. This is my kind of place to spent a Friday or Saturday night. However it seems like most people feel that way since it's usually hard to get a table. Even with the patio seating. But if you're patient one will open up. I've tried most of the cocktails, none disappoint so order away. The menu is a good selection, including non-meat eaters. You order at the bar and then usually a runner bring it out fairly quick. The game selection is about two book cases full. We always find something new to place. Great place to meet up with people to have a fun night! read more

What an amazing place! Seems very popular and busy. Food was amazing and super quick. Highly recommend!

I've been to board game halls in the past, but GuildHall really nails the line between board games and bar - it's the best of both worlds. They have a strong variety of games to play - we came with a group of five and had no problems finding many good games to pick from. I was super surprised, though, by how good their food and drink were. At all the prior game halls I'd been to in the past, food was just subpar. But they really deliver here. Garlic fries were packed with flavor with enough topping for all the fries. Toasted Baguette was crispy with delicious butter. Smoked brisket Mac and cheese was INCREDIBLE - super cheesy and rich with tender pieces of brisket. Full bar with some creative in-house cocktails. Mind Flayer and Phoenix Down were two of our winners. We came right at opening on a Saturday and got a table right away. But within an hour or so, it really started filling up, and the place was PACKED. So keep that in mind if you're planning on coming. Parking can be a bit difficult. They don't have a designated lot, and we grabbed street parking nearby. A great place to go for a fun night out with friends. read more

What a fun, little hidden gem! If you love games, good food, great service, and a cozy vibe this is your new spot. Food: They have a pretty solid selection of great bar food. I tried the sweet potato tater tots which were really nice, seemed like they were actually made in house. Also had the smash burger and it was really, really good! Freshly made, great quality beef, and very juicy. Unlike a lot of other bars that make bar food - this didn't feel like it came from frozen and wasn't rushed. Service: Everyone here was so kind, patient, and friendly. It was really refreshing to find a place where they seemed to enjoy being present. Ambiance: Very homey and cozy, would make a really nice second/third date or spot to meet friends for some board games. read more
