salad; G&T; bread rolls
Kingston W.

I have had a driver's license for well over 30+ years. I have driven past The Bull Pen for decades. I knew it was there. I just didn't know it was a steak house. On Sunday evening, I visited for the first time. I ordered the rib-eye steak. You have a choice of soup or salad; and the choice of one side order. My entree was $52.00; a G&T was $9.50; with tax ($6.30), my ticket was $67.80, before gratuity. The mixed green salad was nice, cool, crisp. They provide a chilled fork. (Nice touch.) They provided me with warm bread rolls. These weren't remarkable; but these were nice. The baked potato was prepared well. The steak was prepared really well. It was cooked medium rare, per request. It was well seasoned, juicy and tender. This restaurant serves prime rib. Because its available, they provide horse radish and au jus with steak orders. (That's different.) This is a nice neighborhood steakhouse. There are other proteins on the menu; but the emphasis is on beef. It seems to be patronized by regulars. It's a bit old fashioned; but that's part of the charm. It's not in-expensive; but the quality of the meat and produce is good, and a step above mass market. The table service was good, too. I recently learned The Bull Pen was a steakhouse via a social media post. I don't recall seeing a traditional advertisement for this establishment -- ever.

Old-school touch: a placard by the front door lists the live music lineup.

The Bull Pen is a South Bay institution; the kind of place that's been around forever and still pulls in a loyal local crowd. I only stopped in for drinks, which were fairly priced for a bar atmosphere, but you can tell this spot has history and character. When walking in we were told, "you are in for a treat" The crowd is a great mix of thirty-somethings to seventy-somethings, all out to unwind and have a good time. At one point, I spotted a woman in her mid-to-late 60s rocking a mini skirt and boots, and to her credit, she pulled it off! The vibe is friendly, and once the clock hits 9pm, the live music kicks in. On this particular Friday, TRES HOMBRES was on stage, keeping the energy up and the drinks flowing. My group didn't have dinner here (which might have bumped this review up a notch), but if you're looking for a relaxed local spot to tip a few and take in some first-class people watching, The Bull Pen fits the bill.

We had another nice dining experience. However, I ordered the New York steak and regretted it. The steak was incredibly tough and hard to cut, let alone chew. I didn't complain and just dealt with it. Not a big restaurant, but they make the most of their space. Water service was excellent and I always enjoy their spinning salad. Next time I'll choose another steak. It's a moderately priced restaurant, but it's content, old school and traditional American food served. I enjoy going here once every few months.

came for family dinner recently and was not disappointed! food was great, served quickly and we had really good service. our waitress really made an effort to make our group feel comfortable, checked in constantly and the vibes in here are too good!! not to mention they make a really good dirty martini! 10/10

What a place. The Bullpen lives up to the hype in everyway, whether you know nothing or it's legacy. On the outside it looks so nondescript, but inside it's alive. Go to The Bullpen you're going to love it. Best thing we ate: The Burger. It's world famous for a reason. If you're with a group, be a bunch of legends and get the burger as an appetizer (see pic). The salad is salad, BUT you do get a chilled fork which classy AF. Gotta love that it comes with each meal. I had the Prime Rib, which I gotta say wasn't stellar which is why I'm sitting on a 4 on the first visit. I will be back for a second take and I'll grab a steak. Desserts were all mediocre in all honesty but we should all be at Handels anyway. The vibes at The Bullpen are absolutely immaculate - the place is abuzz, live music comes on in the evening, and it's an overall great time. Go get it!

This has a typical bar atmosphere with an attentive waitress. Just near the Riviera, located in a strip mall, it's got corner bar vibes but a level up. The burger was fantastic. I give 4 stars because I came with an old timer who almost couldn't get in. He was mistaken for being too intoxicated when actually he was just old walks differently. Kudos for keeping the riffraff out though.

Boat Lamps!

Another visit to Bullpen that went very well! We had the best New York steaks tonight, everything tasted perfect. The funny bartender made us feel right at home and he mixed some excellent cocktails. Love the people that come to the establishment. Tequila selection could possibly use something new. Very nice place will be back. Thank you.

Known as a steakhouse the prime ribs looked really mouth watering...even for myself who doesn't eat meat....I had the Salmon Filet and it was actually cooked really well and I would definitely get it again.... Service was pretty good even though the place as busy they were able to help us out the majority of the time.... Everything came out good for the whole party and no complaints about the food at all... The restaurant itself is old and the inside shows it....but that is part of the classic ambiance at the restaurant.... It is difficult to maneuver through and they utilized the space inside very well...I thought it was a small restaurant looking a it from the outside but it actually can hold a good amount of people. Maybe get better bread knives is my only complaint....it was hard to cut the sourdough easily with the knives given.... Definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes steak/prime rib/even salmon.... By the way I passed it on the first drive by because the parking entrance is just before the restaurant and 1 way meaning if a car is coming out you can't fit another car to come in....but if you go around the residential area you can pull in from the side street before going back on Sepulveda...

If you crave Prime Rib, what makes this a good meal is it comes with bread, soup and a baked potato and the cut comes in 3 sizes to choose from. The service is friendly and fast and this is family styled, no dress code nor any frills of ambiance. It's like a bar lounge with karaoke in the front and formal (casual) dining in the back Parking is easy, but remember this... If driving down Sepulveda and the Sam Franciscan is going to be on your right side... then the parking lot you want to pull into is on your right side BEFORE the San Franciscan yellow sign. If you pass it and pull into the next lot, it locks you in and does not connect to the restaurant and you'll then need to turn around pull out then get back onto Sepulveda, turn right onto Crenshaw and then reach the San Franciscan parking lot from the back or if confused you get back onto Sepulveda from there and try to park again and not miss the correct parking position of their parking lot.

Ample parking; however not great drivers. Everyone had 7pm reservations and the establishment did great in getting everyone to be seated in an orderly fashion. The staff was welcoming. One patron decided to be the a h o l e of the night and cut everyone in line as she believed she was entitled. Many people were upset with this. Totally understandable. The lady ended up going to the bar with her husband and friend. She is an embarrassment. Again, no fault of the restaurant. We had a great team who worked beyond hard and provided great service. Leo, Candy and Savannah were the main host and cocktail artists. Our server was Thomas. I believe we were so lucky to have him. He provided the utmost exceptional service. I'm all about great customer service and he was excellent. He definitely made our night. My sister and mom had made reservations and my husband and I had another reservation. We were able to sit together. Our daughter came but did not order since she was Keto and did not want to break her ketosis. Kudos to the chef! Everything was savory, heavenly and exquisite.

I loved the limoncello martini and cucumber martini. Grey Goose is my favorite along with crème brûlée so I knew this night would be a good one. Thomas, is such a delight. We hope to see him again. We are astonished by his great service. His attention to detail all the time while providing excellent service with a smile. He was so friendly and made sure we and others were taken care of. This Torrance location has been one that we have come to since I was a little girl. It's really sad to see them closing but I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing all of these lovely workers at the new place. The restaurant has an old school western style and feel.

The ambiance is elegant--definitely sets the tone when you walk in--but the happy hour menu is a bit limited and on the pricey side. Now let's talk about the highlights. Our waiter, Sean, was amazing--attentive, personable, and truly made the experience better. We ordered a few items, and the flavors did not disappoint. The lump crab cake was delicious, the lollipop lamb chops were cooked just right, and the African lobster sticks were my favorite. The sliders, though, were my least favorite of the bunch. As for drinks, I had the Narrative Chardonnay--smooth, dry, and just right. Yolanda enjoyed the spicy margarita, which she said hit the spot. Eddie V's definitely feels like a hot spot--one of those places people come to see and be seen. It gave me a little bit of that Friday's-in-the-80s energy, just elevated with a touch more class, because of the folks who were there. I have to admit, it was a little amusing watching the reactions at the front--those quiet "what in the world..." looks from the hostesses and waitstaff when certain people walked in. I even caught a little whispering and nodding in certain directions... like, "Oh, we see what kind of night this is about to be." And if you read between the lines, you could almost hear it--"Yeah... we probably ain't getting no great tips tonight." Beyond the Menu -- because great dining is about more than what's on the plate.

If you're looking for a polished night out with great energy, this is a solid choice.
