There's always a good time had whenever we're in the area. Originally we were was at an event that…read morewasn't far from here but before heading home, a pit stop is needed. Plus it's alway nice to pop in to see friends and of course a meet up spot. This past weekend, the weather was perfect in Santa Monica. It was quite nice to have a table along the patio and perfect for people watching. We were meeting up a friend for a catch up and a meal to end the day with. The staffs are alway so friendly and welcoming each and every time we're here. If you haven't been, it's broken down to a few different areas but all connected. There's the British shop on one comer. If you continue on, you have the restaurant which has two different bars. On the left, that's more of a mellow smaller bar but does get fun. The main bar is on the other end of the building. That's where you get the full bar experience with darts and where all the games are shown. It does get quite busy whenever there's a game on so be advised. There's also an outdoor seating area as well. Then you have the main dining area right when you walk in. There's two main seating area which are both nice. One seems more like the dining room while the other is more of a casual dining area. Regardless, the food will always be the same. As it was Sunday, the roast is alway a good choice. Nothing elaborate but your classic roast. There was beef or lamb available with roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding served with your mixed veggies of cheesy carrots, peas, broccoli and cauliflower with gravy. Vegetarian options also available. Of course you cannot come here and not get fries (chips). Thick cut of goodness. Besides that, there's loads of traditional dishes available. I've had loads and they're all very good. Even if you just pop in for a pint, the place is quite fun. Bar area is fun and pretty lively. The place is quite casual which is nice for a stroll in. Can't leave out afternoon tea which is also offered. A fun time is alway had here each visit. Everyone is so friendly and sweet.

Visited this spot on a Saturday afternoon. Quite a few locals…read more Food was great big portions matches the price. Got the bangers and mash, and it was tasty. Wife went for the Shepard pie, which they sometimes run out of. We both loved our food and brought plenty back home for dinner. Service was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Nice pub feel. Would recommend.

Food: ordered the bangers and mash. Bangers was hot and delicious, mash potatoes were just right…read more Gravy was good too. Also it came with a side order of your chosing. I've never had English style peas but I liked it. Everything was hot. Service: was on point. Drew and Gavin were great. Ambience: never been to England but I'm assuming it was just like England. Had the red phone booth, and there's a mannequin that dressed as their cops. I will definitely go back there. Can't lie, I'll go back because of their big tv's

Great service, cold beer, and the place is clean and well kept. You can tell they take care of the atmosphere here. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. If you're looking for a laid-back bar with good service and a bartender who actually makes you feel welcome, give this place a try. Jared is the man!

Sly Fox Irish Pub is close to a classic dive bar. It's old timey to the point that the back door is…read morethe main entrance in. Small parking lot that may park about 5 cars and watch the street signs for parking. Pool table & full service bar. Mostly bar seating with a banquette along one wall. What made this bar cool is Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma as she refers to herself. Breezy, lively, nonchalante, a bit coquettish to the "right guy", socially charming to her other guests. She creates her own story line to create her aura & drama. Author John Rechy, if he were straight, would have featured Miz Sandra in one of his novels like the City of Night. Ordered a pint of Guinness & Harp combination, but I didn't call it a "black & tan" in an Irish pub for historical reasons. But Sandra told me they don't have Harp, and suggested I do a Snake Bite instead which is half Guinness & Hard Cider. I opted for just Guinness since I wasn't in an experimental mood. Later, she was kind enough to let me sample a shot of the Strong Bow Hard Cider which was smooth, sweet, acidic with actual sour apple flavour. Next time I'll have to order the Snake Bite. Don't know how exactly Irish Sly Fox is with its grunge-garage rock music. But it's a good, unpretentious, local hang out. And of course, there's Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma who is worth the visit. 4- stars

The establishment is huge, and you'll find it below sidewalk level. In addition to the main bar area there are several other rooms to hang out in, have a good time, and play pool. I imagine it gets lively at night. On the menu you'll find standard pup fare. We just had lunch so we ordered drinks instead. The bartenders were friendly and the background music was a mixture of classic rock & country. There are also TVs for your viewing pleasure. On our way out I saw the cutest dog in the outdoor beer garden. His name was Guinness. How apropos.

Especially on a nice day, sitting outside with a drink is such a great vibe. The servers are also friendly, knowledgeable and clearly know what they're doing. This time, I skipped the beer and tried a German Riesling instead. I believe it was anayler Riesling and it was a perfect pairing. German food can get a little rich after a while, and one sip of the Riesling refreshes your palate right away. Definitely give the Riesling a try next time!

This was my first time trying authentic German cuisine, and it was a fantastic experience…read moreI started with the giant Bavarian pretzel, which was warm, soft inside, perfectly baked, and served with delicious mustard For my main course, I ordered the Wirtshaus Schnitzel, and it completely lived up to its reputation. The crispy schnitzel was topped with a creamy garlic sauce and a perfectly fried egg!! I paired it with homemade sauerkraut and homemade Spatzle, which made the meal feel truly authentic and comforting To complete the experience, I had a Paulaner Oktoberfest beer and it paired perfectly with the food The service was friendly, the food was excellent, and I really enjoyed my visit. The only thing I felt was missing was a stronger German atmosphere. Some traditional German music playing in the background would make the experience even more immersive and memorable!!

During the World Cup we checked out some German beer gardens, and somehow over saw this one,…read morepossibly the only heart-driven authentic German one. The most we have seen so far, it was more a "business plan" let's do what Americans may think a German beer garden looks like. Our friend, the LA promoter Vahe, took us yesterday. We found a little gem, grown over the years, with an actual German owner and a service that had more than basic knowledge of German food. Nice! The ambiance was what you would expect from a place like this, less stylish-designer but more owner look-what-we-brought-from-Germany over the many years. The food was actually good, reasonably priced and generously portioned - the sauce platter really deserved its name "platter"- Came with great German curry ketchup. It would be too much to brag about the food, it was decent better than just OK version of classic beer garden dishes. But one has to be fair: where in German beer gardens you find food really worth bragging about? So while I was really tempted to stop at 4 out of five stars, I give 5. After all, it matches my most key how-to-get-5 element: would I do a 30+ min detour just to go here. If someone asked me to show them decent German cuisine in a somewhat authentic ambiance, I would take them here. The Kiez may be closer to our home, the Wirtshaus more stylish, but here we found the hearty welcome we missed elsewhere.
