I highly recommend it! It's a Hollywood staple. Further, I vehemently dismiss the type of yelpers who falsely claim discrimination simply because they want to damage a businesses representation out of some misplaced petty revenge. It devalues other people's legitimate complaints. Something to maybe consider Alberto T.

Sometimes you've just gotta go to an L. A. OG, and you don't get more OG than Barney's in West…read moreHollywood. This ultimate roadhouse on the final stretch of the original Route 66 is so deeply enshrined in Los Angeles lore that almost everyone in town's been there at least once, while almost everyone everywhere else has heard of it. And to its credit, Barney's has evolved in the decades I've lived in town, becoming much less of a dirty dive and really improving their game in the kitchen, which used to put out really sub-par grub. Nowadays, the kitchen is forging far better food and presenting it in a style far closer to what you see in similar diner-style restaurants in the area. Fries served in little fry baskets is just one example of them upping the ante. Service is a pleasing and appropriate mix of West Hollywood punk with well-trained hospitality, and bartenders like Victoria (on duty during my time there today) deftly balance local attitude with universal charm, taking care of you exactly as you need while maintaining a rapport that's down to Earth and genuinely friendly rather than being corporately crafted. I went against all my born-and-raised New Yorker instincts by ordering a pizza for dinner. Not just an LA pizza, but an LA BAR pizza! And you know what? It was really good. I opted for the pie called Johnnie's Fave, featuring mushrooms, jalapeños, cilantro and (usually) pepperoni that I replaced with sausage. The amply portioned 10" pizza is built on good-quality dough that's been properly proofed, plumping up at the edges in the oven while crisping nicely towards the center. The mozzarella melts well and offers good flavor without becoming greasy, while the sausage and veggies are all fresh, tasty and satisfying. The pizza is accompanied by a trio of condiments served in old-fashioned paper ramekins: crushed red pepper, Parmesan cheese, and creamy Ranch Dressing. While I'd never dip the heart of the pizza, I fully embraced the bar pie experience by dipping my crust, and I must say the cool, fresh Ranch Dressing was a really enjoyable indulgence. There wasn't much of a crowd this Sunday afternoon, a fact that Victoria chalked up to people taking a break between the end of World Cup and the start of College Football in a few weeks. But that just made it easier for me to slide into a seat at the bar, tip back a few cocktails, and enjoy a surprisingly good pizza on a Sunday afternoon. I mean, Barney's has always been a reliable place to get your drink on, but it's nice to know it's finally become an equally reliable place to eat a very decent meal.

The vibe is super old hollywood and dressing up makes the simplest Sunday an occasion. The service was impeccable and the speciality crafted cocktails are so delicious.

Ruined a Birthday & Zero Accountability: Disastrous Service…read more I am absolutely furious with the appalling service and complete lack of professionalism at Jones Hollywood. Two weeks ago, I called and made a reservation for my girlfriend's birthday. It was the place she named as really wanting to go. Earlier this week, I even received a confirmation call, which I answered and confirmed. Yet, when we arrived, we were told our name wasn't on the list. Even after I showed explicit proof of the confirmation, the staff didn't offer a single apology. Instead, the host rudely told me they would put me at the "top of the list" and would only seat us if someone else with a reservation failed to show up. When I rightfully pointed out that we already had a confirmed reservation, I was met with a dismissive, "We can't do anything." It is one thing for a restaurant to completely screw up their reservation system, but it is another thing entirely to be aggressively rude and unapologetic to paying customers celebrating a special occasion. They completely ruined my girlfriend's birthday dinner and treated us like we were the problem. Avoid this place if you actually want your reservation honored or expect even a baseline level of human decency from the staff. Absolutely pathetic.

I love going here, I'm so sad upon hearing about the new security here. Unfortunately I had a…read morepretty bad experience with them and want to make you all aware of it. We planned a late birthday celebration for me this weekend and me and my friends (about 8 of us) spent almost 20 dollars each on tickets in advance. That night, before going out we all met up at my place and talked and had drinks. My boyfriend was there and I watched him drink. He had at max one and a half drinks. I'll repeat this. He had one and a half drinks MAX. And that was 10:30pm. We got to boardner's at 12:30am. Two hours after drinking. Me and my friend's put on wigs to go out for fun and have a laugh. My boyfriend also put on one to participate. He was the only one of us turned away at the bar. The security woman (unfortunately did not catch her name, hispanic, 50-60s) said he was too drunk. This caught all of us off guard because we had actually come to drink more as we didn't get drunk at all, after all this is a bar and club. I tried asking what was wrong but she just kept saying he's drunk. Mind you the whole time he's standing there confused. Not stumbling or wobbling over his words. I ended up asking for her manager, and she refused at first. Then she pointed to another security guard and said tell him. That other security guard said he's not in charge of her and pointed to a red headed lady and said "she's in charge". Ok. We went to her and tried telling her about it, repeatedly stating that my boyfriend is not drunk and he was also trying to explain. She said "I don't override my security guards" and "it's all her call". When we tried talking to her more she legitimately shut the door in our faces. Why lie about who the manager is? Why refuse to tell me in the first place? Why is the manager being rude? This got me pretty angry at this point. I took a breath and figured OK let's talk to the security guard. Maybe we can figure something out because he's obviously not drunk at all. And I found it weird how he's the only guy in our group to 1. wear a wig and 2. not get in. Bad correlation on their parts. I went back to the security guard and asked her repeatedly what he did to seem drunk, as it was a couple hours after drinking. She just said "if we really know him then we'd know he's drunk". Instead of elaborating further, she just kept saying he's drunk. My other friend was with me and she was getting angry, I settled her because I really didn't wanna escalate anything with security and I asked the woman how long we had to wait for him to not "be drunk". (She originally said he could wait on the side for a bit and try again). She then said it was too late (~12:40 at this point, bar closes at 2am). She said he wouldn't be let in at all. She just didn't seem to believe us when we said he didn't get drunk and that he had maybe 1 and a half drinks MAX. Which I get, she's probably heard that excuse a million times over just last night alone, but the one time it was true it felt like we weren't being listened to and that the reason for letting him in wasn't just because he was "drunk" and had more to do with him wearing a wig. Mind you, I'm a registered bartender. Of course people can get drunk on one drink! But I also know that the body processes alcohol around one drink per hour. And that at this point it had been almost three hours (~12:50am) since he had a drink, making it virtually impossible to be too drunk or even tipsy. I've worked in bars. I know when to cut people off and take them outside. I know it so well that it's why I'm so angered at this situation and that this reason is entirely just an excuse to not let him in because she is transphobic. She did not want to let him in with a wig on (the only guy in our group to wear one). It's the only reasonable explanation I can think of. That or she just really didn't wanna be wrong and was doubling down on it. Overall very rude, her attitude caused me to get angry. I can go on and on about how my boyfriend was level headed, NOT stumbling around, walking perfectly fine, leading our group to another establishment that let us in with no trouble and upon telling them this story even apologized on this bar's behalf. I have many pictures and videos of my boyfriend walking and talking clearly not drunk. But I think it's clear that this is not an issue of him being drunk, it's something else entirely. I've seen that the Boarder's got new security (as stated by them a few weeks ago) and seen many reviews about the security itself not being great. I absolutely hate to say that I'm not coming back. I'm so disappointed as I genuinely love the ambiance, the music, and the people! I've been recommending it to all my friends for years. I don't feel heard and it's so frustrating. I'd hate to see this repeatedly happen. Not to mention I looked at other reviews and read people's encounters with the same lady and they said she is transphobic! Not a good look on this bar.

They are very crystal clear about keeping a safe atmosphere and told everyone in line, one by one, to please speak up if someone acts out of line. I've never seen a club/bar do this before, it was very refreshing to see. I bought my friends and I a table, it was pretty economical for a party of 12$ (450$ for a party if 12) We had a large enough table to accommodate us all comfortably. Candace, our bottle server, was the sweetest person ever. She was also very accommodating, bringing us whatever we may have needed in a prompt manner. Keep in mind this place was absolutely busy, but Candace was prompt and available. I had the best experience for my birthday. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time!!
