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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

GuildHall - Smash Burger - Beer Bar Near Me - Burbank, California

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.

Possbily one of the coolest pubs I've been to in a very long time. Hidden in Burbank lies the GuildHall, a neat little pub right next to a KFC. Small but mighty as they have.a few tables out in the front but also an outdoor patio in the back. This pub has so many board games that are available and television screens around the restaurant allowing you to watch Twitch players play. I overall loved the vibe of this place and it was definitely a spot to bring your friends to play games but also socialize. My friend invited me for his birthday and I got a chance to try their burger and fries --which really hit the spot. The burger was absolutely delicious. Possibly one of the best burgers i've had in a long time and the fries were to my liking. We played Blockbuster, one of the games they provided and exploding kittens. The environment was so chill and there was no pressure to leave from the restaurant. There were two birthday groups indoors and out so I recommend coming early to snag a table. It's a popular spot and I can see why. Plenty of street parking across the street and overall id recommend the place to anyone who loves board games! read more

Burbank very much caters to the nerd community and I am here for it! This is a chill, relaxed, non-pretentious place with delicious food and a full wall of almost every game you can think of. The house-cut Kennebec chips are phenomenal, and they offer 2 dipping sauces too. We ordered more chips just to keep snacking as we played games. I really liked the brisket mac and cheese I ordered. The cocktail list with geeky, fun drink names is robust, and the drinks are good. I wish they had more wine and beer selections. The biggest bummer of this place is that a good number of the games are in bad shape, and I wish they would repair or replace the ones that are heavily used. It took us checking out at least 6 games before we found a playable one. Instructions are shredded and impossible to read, cards are sticky and torn. Some of the pieces were so dirty that we couldn't play them while also eating. read more

Guildhall is clearly a fan favorite for A LOT of people. And I can see why!!! This spot has it all. Fantastic bar and drink selection. Great food and snacks. And a deep selection of board games! Definitely a nerd paradise. Came here for the first time with some friends and it did not disappoint. Plenty of TVs showing twitch streams. And we were lucky enough to snag a table. Because this place gets BUSY. Try to come before 7 if you want a table cause it gets crowded fast. They do have a great backyard patio that helps! Staff was very friendly and effective at moving the line at the bar up. Will be back to try the cocktails! read more

The meat and cheese board and garlic fries were a delicious combo. when we ran out of the meat and bread. The fries were a great compliment for the remaining cheese. Unfortunately, they forgot to light our beef fat candle... it was still good tho. I'd definitely want to come back. The place was really busy, loud and crowded on Friday night when we were there between 7:30-10:30p Really fun and friendly vibe. Excellent selections of games and friendly staff that check in if you need help with games and helping clear out dishes for better elbow space frequently. read more

I love GuildHall. I have a friend that I meet up with here every time we hang out because atmosphere is awesome. The food is decent (I love their garlic fries), the drinks are delicious, and they have a lot of board games. They don't pressure you to buy more or hurry you along . The services is excellent and the people are really nice. It's nerdy in all the right ways and the bathrooms are clean. Street parking. read more

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

Cool spot to have drinks and nerd out with friends. Came here after Black Friday shopping for some drinks and played board games. There was a party of 10 next to our group of 6 that kept triggering my Apple Watch noise notification. Not sure what game there were playing, but it sure got quiet after they left. Our party played Sequence and Uno. Clever drink names and very satisfying prices. read more

Definitely liked the vibe here. It's more like a place where they have board games (all kinds), people come to play Yu-Gi-Oh and other card games as well. It does get busy and you might have to do a little bit of waiting but the food was good. The burger and chicken tenders were delicious. I would come again read more

Delicious burger and pulled pork sandwich. They have theme drinks and featured desserts. Great service at the bar. Not our vibe but if you're into games, and movies like Star Wars, game of Thrones... you should check it out. read more

super cute little bar, my only complaint would really be how crowded it gets. we came on a friday night and all tables were full, it took us about an hour to even place our drinks down on a barrel, and even longer to get a table. regardless the drinks and food are really good and i liked the small nerdy touches like the yoda shaped butter. read more

I was looking for something that has board games, that has booze and a chill environment and based on my research, only two spots came up that's somewhat close by to my area in East LA: Guildhall and Campus Billiards, Craft Beers and Sports Bar. Between the two, I was leaning on checking out Guildhall since I already regularly go to Round 1 Burbank for Dance Dance Revolution and Pump It Up as my cardio workout most Friday and Saturday nights. Guildhall is located in a weird spot between downtown Burbank and on the cusp of North Hollywood. Me personally, I am not really familiar with this side of town. Guildhall itself sits right next to the KFC and is about diagonally across from the Petco. The rest of the area is mostly residential and fortunately, the small side streets running perpendicular to Victory Blvd have fairly laxed parking rules compared to certain parts of Downtown Burbank, which is nice, all things considered. Truth be told, I was actually trying to check out the Inkwell Tavern but because the location is kind of situated in a busy intersection, I couldn't find parking to check it out. So I ended pivoting and driving over here instead and fortunately, finding parking on this side of town is much easier than in Downtown Burbank. I want to stress here that the specialty cocktails here are on the pricier end--at least to what I am accustomed to. They have a paper menu that they can pass out to you for review before ordering. These are legit quality cocktails. I'm equating the level as similar to 'The San Fernando.' I still prefer The San Fernando in terms of quality of ingredients but the atmosphere at Guildhall feels much more at home for the nerdy/geeky types and the clientele seem to be mostly of this breed of people. I feel practically at home, in a weird sort of way at Guildhall than I do at the various bars that I regularly frequent elsewhere in LA. At other bars, I almost have to put up a 'front,' a fake persona to fit in but not at Guildhall. The two bartenders, one male and one female, (both Caucasian), tending the night seem really friendly. It's a very chill, relaxed environment. They take credit cards. Enough said. Ambiance. It's like walking into a Frank & Sons or a trading card shop--minus the snobbery and/or elitism that oftens accompany such spaces. I like it. Prices. The specialty cocktails range between $14-15 while the beers range between $8-15. Most of the beers are in the $8-9 range while the less common beer varieties are in the double digits. They have a limited selection of wine, mocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. They have a spacious outdoor seating area in the back, plus a few hightop tables and chairs at the front of their establishment. The inside 'main area' can fit at maximum 68 people at any given time, per the sign inside the main area. I don't normally talk about this but because this place is pretty unique, a lot of artwork, pictures and paraphernalia hung up on the walls are gaming related. It's comforting because it feels familiar. If you're a gamer, it's like a piece of heaven in one place. All in all, I like it enough that if I happen to be in the area again or want to invite a small gathering of people to hang out, this would be the spot I'd bring my group of nerdy/geeky friends. read more

Always enjoy being able to walk to Guild Hall and order food to go. Very strict policy for 21+, which is understandable for families with children in the walking stage, but one of our first visits my friends came to meet us with their 9 month old who was in a stroller chilling and they informed the parents they couldn't bring the child in. However, food is really good. Enjoy the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato tator tots. read more

Love the ambiance and their delicious Brussels sprouts! They have plenty of games to choose from and always clever brews on tap.

Our son plays Dungeons & Dragons nearby and we just happened to find this place by accident. Our son plays for three hours at a time so instead of driving back home, we figured we should find a place to hang out while he's playing. Man are we glad we found this place.... Great beers, phenomenal food, and everybody's super friendly. Score!! read more

GuildHall - Beer Bar Near Me - Burbank, California

Board games, twitch streamers on the TVs, tons of game themed craft cocktails and fancy bar food. It's an energetic and loud atmosphere, tons to look at while you sit and sip away. I do wish they opened at at least 2pm, but they open until 5pm. The parking is also tricky, you have to look for a spot down the street as the parking lot has been taken over by the neighbors, KFC. It's a great place to bring your gamer friends and the staff is friendly and inviting. Game on! read more

Tons of games, and friendly staff that gives suggestions, both on games and drinks! They do fun themed drinks, we enjoyed some in preparation for Star Wars May the 4th event. Highly recommend their Brussel sprouts food wise, favorite thing on the menu! Line for drinks can get a little long, but luckily games will keep you entertained while waiting! So much fun art and references on the walls too! Parking is a little tricky, we usually park on the street but sometimes can find a spot around back. read more

We came here for a work happy hour last week and I was actually super impressed by this bar. It is slightly more upscale than when you think of a game hall, which I appreciated! It's a bit small but there is some outdoor seating which is nice, we were able to grab enough space for our group. They have a huge wall of games which looks fun, but there were so many of us we just made up a game of our own. It's a *bit* slow having to wait one-by-one at the bar to order, I do wish they had some floor staff. It was also a bit tricky trying to find parking, the lot next door is Arby's only and at this time of night, everyone was already nestled into their residential parking. They had a great beer and cocktail selection, although I only ended up drinking Hefe's because that is what was calling to me! We ordered...I think everything on the menu to share: Fries I'm not a streak fry fan but THESE, these were deicious Sweet potato tots Sweet, totty, everything you could ask for Chicken fingers Gluten free but crispy and tasty Charcuterie board Here is where I'd add some improvements...Their selling piece is their meat fat candle, which in theory, sounds amazing....a drippy hot candle you can dip your crusty bread into. However, there is no container where all this meat fat can go, so it just pools and spread around the entire board, so you kind of just end up laying your bread on the board hoping for the best. A nice little bowl would be a great touch! This is a great spot to come with friends, I would definitely come back! read more

The food was actually really good. The drinks weren't too strong & had a lot of ice. It's nice to have a game night with friends. The customer service was okay, couldn't give a 5 star because I feel like one of the woman bartender (didn't get her name but she was on register taking orders most of the time Friday night) needs to chill. I went to grab a straw since my drink didn't have a straw & the straws were easily accessible to the people, she swatted my hand away. Like??? Move the straws elsewhere out of reach of the people. Talking about health code, girl you aren't even wearing gloves. Chill don't touch people. Other than that it was a nice time because of my friends. :) read more

Amazing place to play games with friends or watch LCS/twitch steams. Plenty of seating and super clean. We had Tour de Tacos and Sweet Potato tots to share.

GuildHall - Sweet Potato Tater Tots Tour de Taco - Beer Bar Near Me - Burbank, California

Some of the friendliest staff you'll ever meet and the other people there have always been great. The food is way better than you'd expect from a place where it's kind of advertised as it's 3rd priority (board games and drinks being top 2). They always have some fun new cocktail specials available. They have a massive selection of games to play. I have probably played 20 different ones at this point and only one of them was missing any sort of pieces (and still was playable). Which seems impossible when you combine a bunch of people + food and drink. They have TVs set up to different video games, this place knows what it wants to be. They have a patio out back so the space can hold a lot more people than it looks like it can. Great bar read more

My first time at GuildHall was great. It's definitely a unique vibe and attracts a certain type. I'm that type so I loved it. First, instead of sports or something annoying on the tv screens behind the bar - there were live streams of bunnies or ducks. And when I asked about them, the guy behind the bar got really animated and was telling me all about cute things they do - I got the feeling that they watch these channels a lot :) and I could see why. No stressful news or noise. Oh, but another screen had a live view of someone playing a video game so if you like stress and noise - they got you covered too. Everyone who worked there was super nice. They even made me a drink to order and named it after me lol - it was basically a hot Arnold Palmer with agave or something - which he named the Adriana hot sauce or whatever. I didn't get it either, but it tasted great, was a hot drink to keep me warm outside, and they gave me a free refill since it was mostly tea. The place has both an inside section and outside patio with heat lamps. I was outside with a fairly large party so it was nice to be near warmth. But I'd love to come back to hang out inside. It's a perfect place for gamers to eat, drink, and play whatever in peace. I saw people playing Magic, D&D, board games, card games. They had a whole wall of games for use. I would say most people were around 25-35, but I don't get the feeling anyone cares. I had the tomato soup and sweet potato fries. Both were good - but I saw someone next to me order the chicken strips and those looked great. I hope to come back and try those - and hopefully bring someone who wants to play a game :) read more

I genuinely love this place. I don't live in the area, so unfortunately I don't frequent Guildhall as often as I'd like, but whenever I'm near Burbank, I always make it a point to visit. This place appeases so much of my nerdisms, from games to alcohol, it's almost like a physical, brick and mortar representation of me as a person. More to the point, I can honestly say I've never been disappointed with any of the food or drink I've had here. I mean, it's no Michelin Star restaurant, but as a local pub, you'll get what you want from a bar. It's unpretentious, it's low key, it's fun, and it's welcoming. It's also highly recommended. Cheers, all! read more

My best GF had her party here. It was lovely outside & easy to find a table if you show up at opening time. I enjoyed my veggie wrap & my drinks. I would second the reviewers that mention the long line to order @ The bar. Just keep that in mind read more
