    Went for a night out with friends. Had a great time! Music was solid, we were able to dance. Spacing was great, although it was busy we weren't too crammed up. The drinks were definitely drinking(they pour them well). The patio is somewhat small, but enough room if you just want to catch some air. It's a good spot to go hang & dance. I'm a big Pitbull fan, so maybe next time I'll hear a song thrown on lol. There's a parking garage not far too.

    Divey bars are full of charm and the one with strong inexpensive drinks definitely has it. Now one of the last bars on the Santa Monica Blvd all-inclusive bar crawl train, Trunks is the chill easy going, often seat filled yet easy to maneuver experience you need. The music is solid, the people are chatty and the bartenders are attentive. The have a front patio attached to the bar as well as one directly across it off the sidewalk before the main entrance with security. You can bring your outside drinks over to this area, but nowhere beyond. There is a dance floor that usually gets a little busy at night as opposed to during the afternoon and day. They show mostly sports or sporting events during the day on the many TVs they have here much like Gym Bar, now on the middle half of the gay bar scene (closer to Hi Tops and across from Beaches, Rocco's etc). Restrooms deep in the back with wall bench seating all along the right wall of the bar. It's a very mixed crowd though nostalgic to an older generation for sure. If you enjoy the comforts of dive chic then march your feet to the beat of this establishment during the week (or weekend). Trunks has the occasional event, usually during a holiday weekend and always the best prices around. Including happy hour from 1 - 8 pm during the weekdays.

    Great little bar off of Santa Monica Blvd that has a no-frills happy hour from 1-8PM, Monday through Friday. What I loved was that there was a lot of outdoor seating, so regardless of your comfort level, you could still find an area that was far away from everyone while still being able to take in all magic that WeHo has around you, and still be able to social distance at the same time. There were quite a few people on a Tuesday afternoon, but our bartender Alexander was bopping around the whole place making sure that orders were being taken and drinks were being served. I went with his recommendation for the Trunks Mule which definitely hit the spot. Served in a copper cup, it wasn't super strong, but you could feel it, and it was quite refreshing on a muggy afternoon. First cocktail out since the pandemic and it didn't disappoint. I'll for sure be back for some coworking and just enjoying the outdoors again soon!

    Mellow and laidback bar type of place. Definitely with the crowd that goes there as observed after a few visits within this last year. They do play some mainstream music as well as remixes of mainstream music. Their bartenders tend to dress dark clothing/garment and occasionally will go shirtless as the night progresses.

I had been…read moreto a different 33 taps location, but this one definitely set the bar higher and exceeded our expectations. It seemed busy, but we were seated immediately. The vibes and energy were amazing! The servers were so kind, friendly, and attentive. And don't even get me started with the food.. it was AMAZING! We couldn't stop saying how yummy everything tasted! I can't wait to go back and try out some of the different items on their menu. Absolutely zero complaints about this location.

    Do not come here unless you want to be taken advantage of during happy hour prices…read more I came here before work with the intention of happy hour. It starts at 3PM M-F. I come in at 2:58PM I go to the bar where Mitchell takes my order. I ask for a HOUSE dirty Shirley (a house drink during happy hour cost $7). He goes and makes my order and comes back. At this point it's 3:01PM. He charges me at 3:01PM keep in mind. He puts out the little card reader machine and as he does that, I hand him a $5 bill for tip. I wanted to tip him $5 since I knew my happy hour drink was $7. I tap my card and move on. I sit and I'm drinking my drink and got a notification that I got charged $15.50. As I'm looking at this charge I'm trying to make sense as to how my $7 house drink turned into $15.50. I try to justify it by saying it was tax or maybe he forgot to insert happy hour price since it WAS only one minute after it started. Whatever I don't get upset. At least 3:45PM - I call Mitchell over again and I say "can I please get the happy hour fries (advertised as $9 during HH) as well as another round of my drink (advertised as $7 during HH) that counts as happy hour right?". Mitchell says "Yes". He charges me again - I tap and I tip $18% which said was about $3.50ish. I look at my charges. I was charged $27. At this point I call my partner and I'm asking him to please help me make sense of this. I send him pictures of the menu etc. He says to ask for a receipt. I ask for my receipt for my first and second transaction and Mitchell only hands me the second one. At this point I'm super upset. I look at my receipt. He has charged me full price for my drink but he did give me happy hour price for my fries. I finally work up the courage to call him over and confront him about this. He admits that he made me pay full price for BOTH transactions. He goes over to his coworker asking to help give me a refund and I can read his body language. You could tell that he was a bit embarrassed because he got caught. He hands me a receipt showing that I'm being refunded for the second transaction of $27 and something cents. He said he was going to go check on my first transaction of $15.50 (which should have been no more than $10 with tax since house drinks are $7 during happy hour). At this point I'm making conversation with the guy next to me. Mitchell comes back hands me another receipt (I'm thinking it's the refund for my first happy hour transaction) I thank him, he apologizes and says he forgot to ring me up for happy hour. I just shrug it off but in the back of my head I'm thinking. How can you give me happy hour priced food but ring me up a second time with regular priced drink? Whatever. I continue on with my conversation with the person next to me and leave. As I get to my car I look at both "refund" receipts and notice he gave me two of the same receipts. Acting as if the second one he gave me was for the first transaction I made. Maybe it's my fault for not double checking the second refund receipt. Regardless - these charges were most definitely done on purpose with the intent of overcharging me not once but both times. I will never come here again. Please if you choose to come be aware. This is why I was never asked if I wanted a copy of my receipt. I truly hate writing reviews like these because of an interaction with a staff member. I'm sure the owner wouldn't agree with what happened to me. Pictures is my original and refunded receipt for proof of the second transaction. Again - I never got refunded for the first transaction of $15.50 like I was told.

Bludso's brisket is tender and marinated just right. While some briskets are too salty, Bludso's maintains a light and balanced flavor profile, which lets me enjoy the flavor of the beef. However, be warned that some leaner cuts might be a tad bit dry. The pork ribs were also great. although they weren't "fall off the bone" soft, it's still one of the best ones I've had in LA. The sides were also good. They weren't mind blowing but they were definitely comforting. Overall, Bludso's is a great BBQ spot that I would come to again and again. Definitely one of the best in LA. Note: I do have to say that if you're from Texas, you might not be "wow'd". Franklin BBQ in Austin is leagues above both Bludso's and Moo's (first time in my life having brisket melt in my mouth!!). But if you've never left LA, Bludso's will probably be the some of the best BBQ you've had in your life!

Food was quick, obviously made earlier But food was just barely warm. Pork ribs were good, a bit dry but tasty. Disappointed with brisket, ordered 1/4 lb, only got 4 bites, half of this $12 piece was pure fat, Sad that the cook would plate this. Brisket was okay, also also dry. Sauces were good, tasty but not memorable. For LA this is probably decent BBQ, would probably go back, but would not go out of my way. Would like to try hot fresh food on a weekend and see a wider beer selection. Didn't get a thank you or goodbye upon leaving. Bottom line: Pricey for the quality and portions, would have given 4 stars if food was warm and I left full, but price was over $50 for just me and I would have liked to eat the rest of the brisket. 1/4 Brisket $12 ** 1/4 Rack Pork Ribs $12 *** 1/2 Pint Potato Salad $7 *** IPA $8.50 *** Tax 3.85 Tip $7.80

We were seated by a member of YOUR staff and explicitly told another server would be coming to take our order. That never happened. We then sat for about 15 minutes with zero acknowledgment while watching other tables be served. It was not a packed or chaotic environment. There were multiple empty tables on the patio and near the bar, so the explanation of a "busy service period" does not align with reality. Your team seated us and then completely ignored us. What's most concerning is that your response immediately defaults to questioning the validity of my experience rather than taking accountability. Whether or not you "have an Anthony" is irrelevant. A staff member set the expectation that someone else would assist us, and no one did. An apology after the fact, paired with explanations that contradict what actually happened, does not resolve anything. The reality is simple: we were seated, ignored, and left without being served.

I usually just sit there and talk to between zero and one person if I go but I think I've seen it all at this point. You'll have fun if you're literally new to bars I guess.
