Boardner's by La Belle — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Security guards are awful, specifically Zee who is apparently the manager. He has the most awful judgment I’ve ever seen (for example, leaving girls who aren’t even of age to drink, alone outside and inside the club knowingly; see below). He gets in your face and bans you whenever he feels like it for doing absolutely nothing. They dragged me (20 yr old girl) out physically (which they have no right to do and is very unprofessional, they cannot legally put hands on you unless they call the cops) for holding my friends drink while he wanted to dance more freely, which I can understand as I’m underage, but they didn’t give me the chance to comply, just dragged me. Then proceeded to tell me I wasn’t allowed to find my friend I came with who was alone with a guy she didn’t know. I had a panic attack and they said I wasn’t allowed back for two months. No sympathy for what can happen to girls alone inside the club or for any sort of mental health issues/disabilities. Also, my phone and loads of others get stolen here and staff must be in on it to be still coming back empty handed/ not putting any cameras up. The owner needs to hire all new staff. None of these problems have resolved and there have been complaints for YEARS. This could be easily resolved with new staff who don’t abuse the little power they are given! horrible judgement in management. I don’t know how that Manager could’ve slipped the radar when he’s constantly lying to get his way and uses the owners misplaced trust in him to get away with it. Considering legal action, let me know if anyone has any experiences to add. Very unsafe especially...

On October 27th, a group of friends and I attended a special event called "Club Decades" at this establishment for their Halloween event. My group experienced discrimination and was unjustly denied entry on the basis of unfounded allegations. They claimed our friend was drinking in line when she wasn't. We asked for proof and the bouncers just laughed. In contrast, we observed the venue's security staff permitting individuals with open alcohol containers and drug paraphernalia to enter the event. Furthermore, the entrance area was marred by empty alcohol containers. I personally overheard one of the bouncers, identified as "Zeke", who is African American, acknowledging an individual's possession of cocaine paraphernalia, yet they were still granted entry. Our group believes that we were singled out due to our gender and age, and the bouncers declined to disclose their identities.

I hope the venue's management to investigate their adherence to their own policies and those of the state of California. The behavior of the bouncers at this establishment is both misogynistic and unprofessional. I would strongly advise anyone contemplating a visit to this venue to consider spending their money elsewhere.

After reading these other reviews on google and mainly on yelp, these bouncers and security guards have a long history of discrimination, misogyny, aggressiveness, and a major power trip. With all of these other reviews similar to mind, I' 'm surprised they haven't...

Opening at 5pm Boardners has become our local go-to for my husband and I as this was where our first date was. There is such a positive vibe to this place that makes me proud that this is the neighborhood I live in. The staff and patrons are artistic in every different type of cinematic field. Eli, Cat & Keenan are all equally amazing to us and always have been kind, consistent and fun to talk to. And can handle this sometimes very high volume barscape with ease. I recommend the entire menu but tend to ricochet between the steamed dumplings, the angel hair pasta and my favorite salad in town - their Cobb Salad - which happens to have been invented in Hollywood, so its nice that Boardners makes a solid one. Speaking of history, Boardners is that - from the classic Hollywood studio system era onwards this place has served the hard working people of the Motion Picture Industry and you can feel it. There is something special here that makes you want to stay the night, journal, meet new talented friends and enjoy the vibe as it opens up into a busy fun place. A true Actor & Musician hangout ! Every time I'm here I get into awesome conversation with talented and very funny people who are either writing their own content or just performed for the day on a set! The back courtyard is a great place to take guests who visit as it adds to the whole Hollywood vibe and hosts live music some nights and the acoustics are...
