This is the perfect neighborhood bar and grill. The perfect place for beer, burger, and a Dodgers game. read more

Stopped at The Douglas a couple hours before the Dodger game. Cool little Echo Park neighborhood spot, and everyone was nice, but the service was pretty disengaged. I asked the woman tending bar for a menu and got a breakfast menu. Then I saw people eating burgers, asked for the burger menu, and somehow got handed the breakfast menu again. Eventually we figured it out by asking another bartender. The burger was actually really good, and the tots were nice and crispy. No complaints about the food. What annoyed me a little was finding out afterward on Yelp that they apparently have $5 game-day draft specials. That would've been useful information before I ordered beers for around $9 each. Overall, good food and a cool spot, but the service could be a little more attentive. read more

Here's your review: --- **1 star. Rude staff, blatant favoritism, and a ruined first experience.** I came to The Douglas on Sunset specifically to watch the FIFA match. We were seated in a shaded, well-positioned spot with great ambience, ordered food and drinks, and settled in for the game. Around halftime, staff switched our screen to the Dodgers game without asking us. When I flagged it to a female bartender, her exact response was "hold on, I don't care, I'll go see what I can do" -- and then she simply walked off and never returned. A different staff member, a man, was genuinely helpful and got our game back on. He deserves real credit; he was the one bright spot in this entire visit. Shortly after, while I was placing another food and drink order at our table, a second bartender confronted me -- rudely and aggressively -- demanding to know if I was "the one who asked for the game to be changed." He then informed me that FIFA couldn't be shown where we were seated and that we'd need to go watch it in the parking lot, in direct sunlight, despite the fact that we'd already been sitting there comfortably for half an hour with food and drinks. It was obvious the switch was to accommodate a small group of the bartender's friends who wanted the Dodgers game instead -- actual paying customers were an afterthought. This is Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. The Dodgers game is playing on every screen in every bar within a mile. We asked for one screen, in the shade, for one soccer match, and were treated like an inconvenience for it. Bottom line: favoritism over customers, condescending staff, and a complete lack of basic hospitality. The one exception was the male bartender who actually helped us -- everyone else made this a first and last visit. read more

Definitely would not pay $30 for this meal again. I waited about 25 minutes for a burger, understandably for how busy they are.. but it was disappointing, tasted like a school cheeseburger. The fries were not good. It was also kind of creepy the way he brought it out to me not even speaking, I wasn't given any napkins, and it was heavily sauced with mustard. Definitely bar food would only like it if I was intoxicated, not a place I would go to for a quick bite. Service was lacking on both ends. I would say the nicest gentleman was the one dumping the trash. 2 stars because their bathroom was clean. read more

The Douglas - Backyard burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a BEER BAR ONLY. Know before you go that this place does not have a full bar. That being said, THIS BAR HAS A KITCHEN AND IT IS AWESOME. We loved everything we ate and the prices are some of the best in town. On Thursdays they serve the McDouglas burger for $6 ALL DAY!! In addition, it's worth noting that their Wi-Fi is 50MB down, plenty for you to do some work while you drink/eat. The people were super friendly too. I brought my dog and they were groovy with it. Lot of Dodgers influence here. It's dive bar presence, but with better food and cleaner place. PARKING SUCKS. Don't expect to find ready and available parking, I suggest you ride share here. read more

Today (6/14/26 at 4 PM): Very disappointed with this place. Not a place to watch the World Cup! We came specifically to watch the Ecuador World Cup game. We arrived early with friends and watched the Japan game first. When it was time for Ecuador's match, multiple people politely asked the bartender to change the channel. Each time, he said he needed to take care of the bar and would do it later. What should have taken less than two minutes was repeatedly brushed off. 10min later my husband and friends asked again, the bartender came around the bar, accused us of being aggressive, and told us to leave. I calmly explained that my husband and I are sober, I'm Ecuadorian, and we simply wanted to watch my country's game at our neighborhood bar. What makes this even more disappointing is that I've been coming here since they opened during COVID. I've brought friends here for years and have always considered it my neighborhood sports bar. In fact, I came here four years ago to watch an 8 AM soccer game on a weekend, so I naturally expected a major international match like this to be on. We decided to leave, and he changed the channel about a minute after we walked out. That made it feel like this was never about being too busy to help. Instead, it came across as a deliberate decision to ignore our requests. After years of supporting this business, this interaction completely changed how I view it. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. read more

First and most importantly, the people. Service was awesome. Bartenders seemed so genuine like your ideal friendly neighborhood bar. They strike up an actual conversation with you. Amazing beer selection for both those feeling adventurous and for those who stick to what they know. TVs inside and out on the patio to watch the game. They seem to put multiple games on if you need to multitask. Love the wooden interior and the leathery booths. Seating options for small groups, large groups and spots for those going solo. Food Backyard Burger: 10/10 Exactly what you're looking for and the double patty wasn't insanely filling. More room for snacks! LA Pretzel: 6/10 Not the best pretzel. Plus I like mine with salt crystals but the game was on and we bought it for good luck! Easy to snack on but don't save it for last like we did since it gets cold and dry if it sits out. Comes with both cheese and mustard. Points for that. Can't go wrong there. Hoping to try more snacks and desserts next time! Overall, this is a great spot to catch up with a group of friends, maybe a casual date, or even swing by just to watch the game. I'll be back soon! read more

This is a little dive bar close to dodger stadium that we visit quite often when we go to games. It's not a full barn , but they have tons of different beers an IPAs. The service is pretty fast as far as getting drinks an food. The quality of food is actually pretty good for being bar food. read more

A great vibe will be found here. The drinks are delicious and their beers are wonderful. It has an old LA feel when you are seated at the bar. The staff are friendly, the music they play (when I was there), is the music I listened to in the 1970's and everyone is down to earth. It's a fun, local watering hole that I enjoy to go to in Echo Park. read more

We popped into The Douglas on Sunset for a quick pit stop before heading up to Dodger Stadium for a day game, and it was the perfect pre-game ritual. The bright afternoon light filters through that cool outdoor patio, pairing beautifully with their signature margarita on draft--just the right level of citrus zing to wake you up pre-ballpark. Inside, the vibe is effortlessly chic but relaxed enough that you can slip in your team cap without feeling out of place. The bartenders were sharp and friendly, crafting our mezcal-peppered Paloma in about two minutes flat, so we still made it to first pitch on time. Whether you're a local Dodger fan or just in town for the game, this spot makes for an unbeatable kickoff to your ballpark day. read more

JOHNNY/DAVE: This was a problem...I hope you see this. We were a group of 4 and watched Japan vs Netherlands for the World Cup. Got a few orders of fries, non-alcoholic beers and 2 people ordered a few beers. We stayed to watch the Ecuador vs Ivory Coast match. The match was on a different channel from the previous game and the bartender didn't change the channel to put it on. After it had started and the bartender still hadn't changed the channel; 2 other people from a different group asked him to put it on. He said he'd take care of the bar first....Another patron came over and asked me, to ask him, to put the game on. I asked, and again, he said he'd take care of the bar first....I watched him for 5 minutes try to find something to do - and no one needed anything. 1/2 the bar was there to watch the match and no one needed anything. After a few more people asked him to put the game on; it was clear he was delaying putting it on and it was some kind of power flex. He started trying to accuse us of being aggressive. Maybe he was implying we were drunk; my wife and I have been sober 3 years. This was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a sports bar. He told us we should leave if we wanted to watch the game. I've never been kicked out of a sports bar sober for politely asking the bartender to put a WORLD CUP game on. I started going to this place when it first opened and I'm very disappointed this place has the nerve to treat people like this. I feel very insulted and felt it was personal though I wouldn't be able to tell you why. Don't know who that is or why he'd act that way. If you have a strange power dynamic issue in your psyche don't work in the service industry. Everyone was so calm and normal until he continued to ignore and try to escalate it.

This place is cool! If you're looking for food I recommend the spicy chicken sandwich with a basket of tater tots. I will say to be careful though because it does pack a spicy punch. If you're not so keen on spice you can go with their regular one but I truly recommend the spice one, but only if you can handle the HEAT!! I gotta thank the bartender for recommending it. It's definitely gonna be my go to meal at The Douglas. It's right next to the Dodger Stadium, so if your looking for place to celebrate after a win. It's definitely the go to spot! read more

The Douglas - a.k.a. The Ducklas This joint has a vast and storied history. I just don't know what it is. I do know that it involves ducks, golf, burgers, beers, chill locals and Dodgertown. The beer selection was ridiculous. The FALAFEL was out of this world. And the TATER TOTS slayed. My buddy asked for some HOT SAUCE that had him in a drippy 'n angry sweat for a good half hour. If you love the heat, try that stuff. These guys also serve breakfast Wednesday through Sunday 9a-Noon. read more

Short: An old school hole in the wall bar with tasty bar food, house brewed beer and a great atmosphere. Long: I really enjoyed my time at The Douglas, this old school bar is a hole in the wall and I highly recommend checking out! Great atmosphere for a Dodgers game as well. The bar food was really good, good flavor for a solid price! I really enjoyed the patty melt, the crunchy toast and the beef patty's were both crispy but full of flavor! The Douglas features a large selection of house beer and ciders, I tried the House Pilsner and I really enjoyed it! Service was friendly and nice. Overall, if in the area and looking for some solid beer and pub food this is a top pick! read more

Popped by here with my friends before a Dodger game. I got the Caesar salad and chicken wings. The Caesar salad was packed with flavor. And the chicken wings were absolutely amazing, perfectly seasoned and didn't even need a sauce for dipping. My bf absolutely loved his ground beef nachos. When I say the ground beef was delicious, I am not exaggerating!!! To be fair all the food my friends purchased looked tasty as well as they agreed the food was amazing. This place has a very relaxing energy with outside seating. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. Come here and grab a bite to eat! read more

A great neighborhood hangout in Silver Lake. Very "tre casual" here. Sit by the bar, watch sports, chat with the owners and staff while sipping on cold beers. That kinda place...ya know what I mean. We felt very welcomed and comfy at our large round booth in the corner after walking around the Silver Lake Flea Market on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered a bunch of "Bar" foods to share. Not a place to diet...everything is caloric and fried but YUM!!!! read more

Food was very good, busy, but very attentive, friendly, service. Ample selection of beers, can, bottle, or tap.

I was starving and went with friends to this place. The place is kinda rustic vintage bar. I thought the food would be great but not what I expected. The patty melt was very fatty and cheap meat. The curly fries were salty especially the tater tots. Service was poor. read more

One of the Worst Experiences I've Ever Had at a Bar - Avoid the Douglas at All Costs If you're considering stopping by The Douglas for a drink, I strongly urge you to reconsider unless you're in the mood to be treated like an inconvenience instead of a paying customer. I've had my fair share of underwhelming bar experiences, but this one genuinely stands out as one of the worst, not just for the lackluster atmosphere and mediocre drink selection, but for the absolutely miserable attitude of the bartender -- a woman whose demeanor was somehow colder than the beer she begrudgingly served. Let's begin with the first red flag: before I could even order a drink, she barked at me to hand over a card -- not a greeting, not a smile, just an immediate demand as if I'd wandered into her home uninvited. Apparently, this is her default mode of "hospitality." Not only is this unwelcoming, but it feels more like a transaction at a pawn shop than a visit to a bar. You're not allowed to simply relax and order something. No, you must first surrender your card like some kind of criminal on probation. That's the vibe. When I tried to ask what they had on tap -- a completely normal question at literally any bar -- she cut me off and said, with an eye-roll no less, "Read the list." No explanation, no enthusiasm, not even a second of patience. Just a dismissive gesture toward a wall where the beer list is apparently sacred scripture, not to be spoken aloud. It wasn't even busy -- she simply couldn't be bothered to engage with me like a human being. Her attitude reeked of someone who not only hates her job, but resents every person who dares to walk through the door. And let's talk about the list. Half the beers were listed with vague or gimmicky names, no descriptions, no details, no ABVs, no indication of style. Asking for clarification? Don't bother. You'll be met with a death stare and silence that could curdle milk. She might as well hang a sign that says, "Don't ask questions, don't expect answers, and definitely don't expect kindness." The rest of the bar doesn't do much to make up for the horrendous service. The lighting is oddly dim, not in a moody or atmospheric way -- just dull. The seating feels like an afterthought, uncomfortable and poorly arranged. There's no warmth, no character, no effort put into creating any kind of inviting environment. It's the kind of place you walk into, take one look around, and immediately regret not choosing somewhere else. You can practically feel the contempt in the air. The patrons seemed equally fed up or just beaten down by the energy of the place. No one was smiling. Everyone looked like they were just trying to make it through the night without another awkward encounter with the bartender or someone bumping their chair in the cramped, uninspired layout. I genuinely cannot understand how a place like this is still in business. When the face of your establishment is someone who acts like you're bothering her just by existing, it speaks volumes about how little the owners must care about customer experience. If this woman is a regular staff member, or worse -- a manager -- then it's no wonder the Douglas has all the warmth of a DMV waiting room. Bottom line: If you like being talked down to, ignored, and treated like your presence is an inconvenience, then by all means, come to The Douglas. But if you expect even a shred of courtesy, decency, or basic professionalism with your drink, go literally anywhere else. I would rather drink warm tap water at home than spend another minute in that miserable excuse for a bar. read more

Stopped in before a Dodgers game. Great beer selection, good food and FABULOUS bartenders.

Great find! We are here on a baseball trip with my son and this place has reviews for good burgers and so we checked it out. Food was good, service was beyond excellent. The decor and rad history of mostly The Dodgers and old clips playing on a TV was such a great conversation starter with my son and the history of the Dodgers. Absolutely loved this place and the ambiance and friendly service. If we drank beer then this would definitely be the spot to be before and after games or even if with friends again we would definitely come here to enjoy food. read more

first time hanging out here. Came here Thursday morning to meet my good old friend who I haven't seen for 6 years. he told that he usually hangs out here before walking to dodger stadium. It's something, I haven't done for a long time. park your car on the street then walk up to dodger stadium, which is 5-7 min walk. we hung out for a beer then started heading up to dodger stadium. I thought taking the dodger shuttle bus was great, but this was even better. don't have to rush to get to the shuttle bus, and it sure beats paying those over priced parking tickets. A great new find! read more
