Party Earth Review: The quintessential Hollywood roadhouse since its opening in 1920 on historic Route 66, Barney’s Beanery transformed from a place where travelers could trade in their license plates for a free beer, to a gathering spot for Tinsel Town icons like Clark Gable and Errol Flynn, to a rowdy hangout for rockers like Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison. A riot of color, noise, and history – and with a ceiling still covered by those license plates – the place is now a lively sports bar that attracts boisterous crowds of jocks, sports fans, and tattooed bikers. Rows of candy-colored vinyl booths offer plenty of space for patrons to scarf down a huge selection of bar food as they peruse the kitschy collection of beer signs, flags, road signs, motorcycles, and assorted Americana, while game lovers have a choice of three pool tables, arcade games, pinball, and a host of other distractions. Former frat boys, sports fanatics, and grizzled regulars generally pack the bar to have a few rounds and watch the game on the forty flat-screen TVs, as smokers take a break on the small front patio. A mellow all-ages hangout and restaurant during the week, Barney’s turns into an all-day sports venue on the weekends, when a considerably younger and livelier crowd shows up to pound some cold-ones and cheer on their home team – and then stays on for some late-night partying.

Barney's Beanery Review

Tip from Lucas:

“Keep an eye out for a plaque commemorating the spot where Jim Morrison once urinated on the bar, and a table that was autographed by Janis Joplin.”
