Macleod Ale Brewing

Are there TVs and if so in what areas of the brewery are the TVs?

We have a projector and screen in the main taproom

What happened to all the vegan food options? Best vegan pizzas!! But now even the all the salads have dairy :_(

Over the years we have simplified our menu, so we don’t have specific vegan “designed” pizzas, but we always carry vegan cheese and many veggie toppings so you can design your own! Any salad can be requested without cheese…as always.

Any happy hour during week?

Yes, Monday - Thursday 4-6pm!

I'm so confused??? I thought yall were closing down?

We never said we were closing. It’s definitely been a difficult winter but we are open and plan to stay open!

Do you offer gluten free pizza?

Unfortunately they do not they do have several salads and appetizers that are gf by default.

Do you still serve cask ale?

Yes very much so!

Is bringing outside food permitted?

Nope

Do you have TVs?

No, so just good conversation with the people you.come with or complete strangers.

Planning on having a small birthday get together. Can we bring cake in from outside? Also is vaccination proof needed for outdoor seating?

Yes of course you can bring cake. No vaccination required for outdoor.

Do you have handicap parking?

YES there is!!

Do you have gluten-free beer?

Some of our beers are gluten reduced, using enzymes in the brewing process. We don’t have any true gluten free beers. We do, however, serve wine and cider, which are gluten free.

Is this a fun spot for a mid-large sized birthday party? Is outside food also allowed to be brought in for parties? (I.e. A mix of outside food + ordering Macleods pizzas off the menu?)

Yes! Parking may be a bit of a hassle but if you arrive anytime before 7 you should be good.

Do they still serve cvt?

YES!!

Is there outdoor seating?

Yes

Now that they offer pizza, are we still allowed to bring outside food in?

Yes but like Michael B said, the pizza is amazing and we have marinated olives, pickled veggies and salad as well. But we won’t give you the side eye if you bring your own.

Do you serve any wine? Any white wine or rose?

We now serve wine, cider and hard kombucha

Is there any sort of happy hour at all during the week?

Sorry, not at this time.

Does MacLeod's still have live Irish music on Thursday nights? Haven't seen the band there in awhile

Unfortunately no.

Do they allow dogs?

There are dogs there almost every time i go.

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.

1 Star -- Extremely Disappointing Experience! Poor Management, Terrible Seating Policies, and Lack…read moreof Customer Service My boyfriend and I visited Game Changers in Sherman Oaks to watch the Sunday 49ers vs. Seahawks game, expecting a fun atmosphere and a great place to enjoy football. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing, and the biggest problem was the poor management and complete lack of customer service. First, this place is VERY small, with limited seating and an already crowded layout. Yet, they operate on an online reservation system that makes absolutely no sense for a bar of this size. We waited to be seated, only to be squeezed into an uncomfortable section while several larger, roomier tables sat completely EMPTY right behind us. We politely asked multiple times if we could move to one of those tables, especially since I had to keep turning my chair just to watch the game! The manager was dismissive, rude, and completely uninterested in accommodating our request. Instead of finding a reasonable solution, he repeatedly ignored our concerns and insisted those tables were reserved for larger parties. The host also explained that they needed to keep the tables available in case additional reservations came through. Seriously? What kind of management prioritizes hypothetical customers over paying customers who are already inside the establishment? And guess what? Those tables remained EMPTY while we were there! Meanwhile, actual customers were packed into uncomfortable corners like sardines. This is where the lack of management skills becomes painfully obvious. A sports bar should know how to maximize its limited space, accommodate guests, and create an enjoyable game-day experience. Instead, management seemed more concerned about protecting empty tables than taking care of the customers who had already shown up and were ready to spend money. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the experience either. The menu was extremely limited, the food options were not particularly appealing, and there was little flexibility to substitute or add different sides. The overall service was equally underwhelming. By halftime, we had enough. We left and went to another nearby sports bar to finish watching the game, where we could actually enjoy ourselves. My biggest disappointment wasn't just the cramped space or limited menu. It was the management's attitude and unwillingness to provide even basic customer service. A good manager knows how to listen, problem-solve, and make guests feel welcome. None of those qualities were demonstrated during our visit. Game Changers needs a serious change in management approach, seating policies, and customer service standards. Empty tables don't generate revenue, and treating customers as an inconvenience is certainly not how you build a loyal clientele. We came ready to enjoy the game, order food and drinks, and spend our afternoon there. Instead, we left frustrated and took our business elsewhere. Definitely NOT a place I would recommend for watching a football game, especially if you're expecting comfortable seating, decent food options, and management that actually values its customers.

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.

They have coolers of canned and bottled beers, seltzers, and ciders available to drink there or purchase to take home. The corkage fee for consuming in-house is waived on Tuesdays. They don't have a food menu, but they have a line-up of food trucks each week that are properly advertised on their website and Instagram.

I must comment on the absurdity of some of the low-star reviews for Hop Merchants, notably the disgruntled father who lamented the child-free policy, "You'll have to take the family somewhere else". Why would you want to take a family to an establishment that exclusively sells alcohol? Not every place has to be for you! It'd be like me whinging that I can't take my 98-year-old granny to Chuck E.

We used to really enjoy this place, but our recent visit was extremely disappointing. It had been a while since we stopped by, and unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to what it used to be. Most of the tables were dirty, covered in leftover pizza plates and used glasses. I actually had to ask for a rag and cleaning spray and clean a table myself just so we could sit down and enjoy our food and drinks. The staff didn't seem to care about keeping the space clean or welcoming, and the seating area was noticeably neglected. Another change that stood out: they're no longer independent and now serve corporate beers, including Modelo Negro on draft. While the food was still good, the overall experience could've been better. read more

Went there for the first time on Sunday. We had The Little Spree and The Crisis. Both were mellow yet flavorful ales. I love the way they serve them English style at 55 degrees which is plenty cold. They don't need to be ice cold and are by no means warm. The whole staff was very welcoming, and Alistair and Jennifer talked to us at length about the beer and the business. There were peanuts and crackers, and you are free to BYOC (bring your own cheese) plus there are generally food trucks stopping by. The Dogtown truck was there when we visited. A great place to stop by and have a pint or two in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Serious beer but no serious attitudes. read more

It's very cool to see something like this tucked away in an area of the valley that mainly features extreme dives. I love dives, but to have an option that is well-lit and has more of a family-friendly vibe is more than welcome. There is an outdoor patio, peanuts (shells on the floor, buddies), board games, and a pizza menu. As for the beer selection, the brewers do a nice job. The three beers I tried were all exactly as described. They obviously know their stuff. Though I came on a weekend, I'd like to try coming back on a week night to experience a less crowded atmosphere. read more

Highly recommend for birthdays or any excuse to get a group together!

I was pretty surprised to see this sport bar at a golf course. I have been here multiple times for…read morehappy hour and surprise, surprise the food is very good. They open at 7:30am-9pm everyday. I heard their breakfast stuff is pretty soild. I definitely will try it one day. Bedside that they have everything here, from your sandwiches, burger, burritos, hot dogs and salads. As for their Happy Hour, it's from 3pm-6pm. You can't beat those $1 wings and those are good size wings too. Happy Hour menu isn't that big, it's actually small. Bedside their wings, the fries are great. It's served piping hot. Service is good and friendly. I can imagine this place being packed on NfL Sunday's . They have plenty of tables inside and outside with plenty of TV's. Until my next visit.

People are friendly, both in terms of the staff and the patrons. Ambience is also casual, but has enough of a special quality to it that makes it appropriate for friends or meeting someone new for the first time It can get a little bit crowded during peak hours, but I've always found a table.

This was my first time at Tipsy Cow, and I have mixed emotions. The atmosphere is casual and…read morefestive, with TV's playing sports and a varied crowd that includes daters, older couples, families and singles making the most of their weekend. There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.

There was still space inside & outside for hanging out & watching sports game. I'm not a beer drinker but I enjoyed their drink I got. There's no food but vendors do arrive on site after a certain time! I could see parking being an issue here but I got lucky when I came & found a parking spot nearby in the residential area. I will definitely be returning!

I don't ever leave reviews but this place is legit so good and the customer service makes you feel…read morelike a regular, even though it was my 1st time! Went out on a Tuesday to meet with friends from out of town. Place had a really nice vibe and music. We sat outside on the patio and it was perfect weather. The drinks were awesome, the food was good and it came out really quick too. But what made it special was the service here. I went to the bar to order food for the patio and then I started seeing people line up to order in the middle of the bar. By the time I realized I was already now 10th in line. Before the line could move, the bartender named Amanda called over "Hey! I saw you here first before everyone. I'll take your order first." We all know how chaotic bartending can be so for her to do that really stuck out to me and I appreciated the thought and consideration. She didn't have to do that at all, but did! It was her and Shauna making drinks that night and the service was top notch! Fast forward to the end of the night, I completely forgot a pair of my favorite shades there. I called the next morning expecting absolutely nothing and for them to be gone. The manager Dominick takes my info and description of the glasses and says he doesn't see them but he'll call me back. Over the course of maybe the next 15 or 20 mins and several phone calls, he is reviewing security cam footage to see what happened to my shades and find out if they were picked up and where they were stored for lost & found pickup. Never in my life have I gotten this kind of response before when losing something. I even felt bad for taking up his time but he was committed to finding them and eventually located me in the security footage and left them with a note for me to pickup. A solid place like this will always be a great choice for food and drinks, no matter what day or occasion. Awesome food and drinks with an incredible staff!

It's also pretty loud... but it's a bar so... enjoy the sounds of people having fun with an eclectic playlist going underneath. Also, don't skip the pork belly or the pretzel- both are worth the bar line and noise lol
