The vibes here are immaculate! I appreciate the heaters for outdoor seatings. The drinks and appetizers were delicious. They do have some festive drinks that I definitely want to try next time during their happy hours!

I absolutely love this place! I've been coming here for 15 years and it never disappoints. During Covid they opened a little outdoor patio area that is super cute. It has a bunch of communal tables, is dog friendly, tvs for watching the games and a cute little airstream trailer that as their outdoor bar. The inside is darkly lit and can get pretty packed and loud when it gets going but is just as fun. The appetizers have a pretty good range, my favorites being the bacon brussel sprouts, artichoke dip, and ceviche. I'm personally not a huge pretzel fan but my friends all say it's one of the best so if that's your thing I'd recommend that one as well. For entrees the spicy chicken sandwich is really good but my favorite is the backyard burger. They have three type of fries and I was lean towards the garlic Parmesan version. Make sure to ask for them crispy as they can come out a little soggy if you don't. For drinks they have a full bar and limited options for wine. My favorite cocktail is the spicy hibiscus margarita. It's the perfect blend of flavors! I've come during the day with the dogs and at night with friends and the vibe is always on point. I'll be continuing to come for years!

Discovered this place recently when I needed to meet a friend in the valley. Struggled to find parking on the street when I bypassed the valet, but got my steps in for certain that night. First off, nice little happy hour, with some cheap meal options. I was craving an artichoke though so I went all in on the regular menu along with a veggie sandwich. Both were delicious. I really liked the sauce on the sandwich and the artichoke was a caloric overload joy with the aioli dipping sauce. Seating indoors and out. We choose outside and with the heat lamps it was a nice cozy spot. The outside has a very hip looking airstream you can order from which added a nice vibe. I couldn't get my second cocktail from them though because they were filling what looked to be a 15 person strong order of margaritas. Place is happening, so be patient. Will be back!

We went to Laurel to throw a going away for a friend. They held 4 tables for us in the back. Our service from beginning to end was excellent and attentive. The food overall was good. But I am here to comment on 2 things. I gave up alcohol just for a reset and asked for a complex mocktail. It was not only expertly created but completely balanced. I didn't miss the alcohol because it wasn't some basic, fruity, overly sweet beverage. Second Order The Candies Nuts!!! Yo I started with 1 per table, then 2, then 3, then I started putting them in my pockets because there would be no nuts left behind. We will definitely be back!

We pretty much ordered the whole damn menu to share. We were hungry! We shared the meat & cheese board, pork belly skewers, Louisiana grilled chicken wings, grilled steak salad and an order of LT fries. Everything was good, I think the pork belly skewers were the stand out dish. The pork belly just melted in your mouth, absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the wings, the sauce was not too spicy and had a good zing to it. The steak salad was loaded with ripe avocado and a good portion of meat, tasty as well. The weak link would be the cheese board, it just wasn't very fresh tasting, especially the sliced meats. Drinks were poured well....but ordering can be a bit of a cluster. Everything gets ordered at the bar which gets packed, no real line up, just everyone standing around hoping to get the bar keeps attention. They have ample seating and even during the summer heat wave, the misters and fans kept the outside area enjoyable. Parking is rough, but its Ventura Blvd. We found a spot on a side street and walked on over.
