Tony's Darts Away — Restaurant in Burbank

Tony's is a phenomenal place to go for casual conversation, to watch the big game, to experience true micro-brew heaven, to play pool or darts with your peeps, and lastly, to experience true gastronomical bliss.

The beer: Tony's has a full page of their menu devoted to Caliifornia brewed, craft beers. The selection is terrific, from no fewer than 15 IPA's, to stouts, Irish-style reds, and Belgian-style blonds.They have it all, and the flavors are great. That also have hard ciders and wines.

The food: Oh, the Food! We are vegetarians, and I love to go out and have a beer with my dinner. Unfortunately, very few pubs have food that I can eat. Tony's is not one of them.

We ordered the vegetarian bean chilli as an appetizer that we shared. It was really good! My wife makes a mean veg chilli, and this compared very favorably. She even admitted it. (Shhh!)

My wife had the vegan bahn mi sandwich, which was made with vegan pork. It's also available with real pork, and it comes with homemade potato chips. The flavors were divine. The chips stand on their own, as they were thicker than traditional chips, and not greasy at all. I wish had their recipe! My wife told me that her bahn mi was the best sandwich she has EVER had. I tasted her sandwich, and it was indeed very fresh, and flavorful. But best ever is heavy, and her beer may have been doing some of her talking. (shhh!) Don't let this diminish your chances of trying the bahn mi, as it is fantastic.

I had the Italian Stallion vegan sausage sandwich. You can get this with real meat Italian sausage, too. I added chips and a side salad for $2 extra. This was a really terrific sausage. It was very flavorful, spicy, and the texture was spot on for a sausage. I probably haven't had sausage in a restaurant more than once or twice since I became vegetarian 6 years ago. And let me be frank (no pun intended), they were not good, like, at all. The flavor was bland, the texture was mealy and blah, and they had no spice. You get the picture.

If you're within 62.6 miles of Tony's, you need to do yourself a favor and get your arse over there! Do it, and take your friends! Let's make sure that neighborhood places like Tony's that value their customers by giving them great food and drink and a great place to gather,...

This bar has become my recent Sunday brunch with beers spot. I have come every Sunday for a month, for excellent reasons. The main point of Tony's Darts Away is local, locally and location. They strive to keep the love in California, by having local brews on tap. (speak of tap, they have 38 beers on tap daily) The beers range from lagers, porters, IPA, ales, triple, double IPA, pilsners and much more. The ABV that I have seen recently ranges from 4.5% to 10.5% and their menu inside and online break all this stuff down prefectly. (Cause sometimes after a few beers ordering from a menu becomes rather difficult.) I like strong beers by taste and ABV, so I would recommend in no set order: Judgement Day (Belgian Quad, 10.5%), Heal the Bay (IPA, 6.8%) or Get up Offa That Brown ( English Brown Ale, 5%) For their food options they have a set list and also a rotation list for Sunday brunch from 10am to 3pm. The set list is pretty awesome because they have vegan, non vegan and vegetarian options. The food also comes around locally (helping Cali do it big!) as a non meat eater I have enjoyed the vegan signature sausages majorly. To be honest I don't really like "hotdogs" in general, but after hearing them ordered often, I had to try it for myself. No regrets here. I had the Border Dog, which had a nice kick of spice. I actually really liked the avocado lime puree sauce it had, very happy I didn't ask to have it left off. When I don't feel too hungry I go for the homemade Russet Potato Chips. Once again, not a huge fan of potato chips, but the popularity of how often it was ordered around me was hard to resists. Light on the stomach and wallet, esp if your drinking a few thick beers, it hits the spot easily.

Okay enough with the novel review, but I must also mention this... They have games you can play at your table or at the bar (ahem.. Sorry, Operation, Dominoes, Backgammon, Rummy... just to name a few.) Definitely a bar to check out at least once. Add it...

One of my favorite new spots to frequent.... Like, weekly!! This place is great. It may be a bit overwhelming when you first visit, but take a second to take it in and the bartenders/servers are always helpful and patient. Tony's has something for everyone, beers, ciders, wines, board games, dart board, pool table, jukebox (pretty pricey, $1 for one song for majority of their selection), live DJ (on Sunday evenings), vegetarian food options, vegan food options, and even carnivorous food options. Food is awesome! I haven't had anything I didn't like. I usually go for Sunday Brunch, which has a rotating weekly specials every weekend, which gives patrons a chance to always try something new and different each weekend! Weekend Brunch has great hours to work with 10am-3pm!! Those weekend specials always have vegetarian and non-vegetarian items. Be aware that the "salsa" served with the weekend brunch, is more like diced tomatoes and onion. Not a spice to be worried about. If you are looking for a kick, make sure to request their Hot Rodz Sauces. And even if you come in on the weekend and you don't feel like being adventorous with their specials, you can always order something off their regular menu. Bartenders/Servers are the best! Like I said before, they are very patient and knowledgeable. You have any questions, just ask away. They understand how overwhelming the menu and selection can be. I've only dealt with Tony, Anthony, Quinten (?), and Morgan... and never had a problem. Just be careful coming in on their special event Tuesdays... It can get very hectic, just make sure that if you do decide to come on Tuesday to please make sure to pack some extra doses of patience and friendliness. Only thing negative I have to say, is the bathrooms are hell.... I'm sorry... But literally, hell once you step inside. Be warned, especially if you may be...
