Laurel Tavern — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I loved this place when I went three years ago on a date with my bf...and welp, I still love it now :)

Laurel Tavern is a great addition to the craziness that is Ventura Blvd. First off, like everywhere else in that vicinity, parking is a nightmare so plan to walk a few blocks hahah. The actual establishment isn't that large and seating is pretty cramped (my one main complaint) - i just hate feeling like I'm sitting on top of patrons and everyone is listening to everyone else's conversation haha. But I digress...

Let's talk about food...

Get a burger!!!! No joke, their burgers are so juicy and flavorful! My personal favorite is the bacon blu that has strips of granny smith apple in it as well to add some crunch to the burger. $*@%ING delicious. We tried their pork belly appetizer for the first time too last night and holy moly this is a must have dish! Crunchy and caramelized on the outside but buttery on the onisde. It also comes with this sweet and tangy sauce, lime and cilantro.

Other dishes worth trying- french dip sandwich is pretty tasty too with some of the best horseradish I've ever had. Fries are ...well, fries. Always a nice added touch to a meal.

Let's wrap this up folks....get here early, park a little ways away but hurry in to get some prime real estate tables. Order copious amounts of meat and beer, and then let the food...

I want to say thanks to the awesome security guard for doing his job he is very professional. Super friendly. The atmosphere here is great. Cute little spot to come gather around have a great time. Our bartender that night was such a doll. I just know she has curly hair and she’s the best. She made our drinks perfect. Super fast attentive, and she deserves the best. Our little group we had enjoyed our drinks. I love it, can’t wait to come back to have a few drinks to down. Came here before we went to eat sushi so pregamming it before we had dinner. Next time going to come down to have more of an awesome time. The pub was very clean, organized. Yes there is a little wait but I promise you it goes by really fast. The people here are amazing. You won’t be disappointed. If your in the area you have to come out to this joint. Have some of their drinks. Their food looks really appetizing as well. Lots of drinks...

This was the first place that we sat down and had a meal while visiting Los Angeles for the first time ever. It was a Saturday evening and we were able to get in and get a table. Parking was tight but there is a valley just down the road for $10. Inside the restaurant there is a indoor bar portion and an beautiful outdoor patio with lots of plants and lights. The ordering style is do it yourself, You can walk up to the bar or in the case of the patio is a food truck, Is and order your drinks and food. You get your drink on the spot and they bring food to your table. The food was incredible I had the best pork belly that I have ever had in my life, The drinks were very unique and very tasty. Staff was great and the atmosphere was incredibly chill...
